a vulture I spiral down
trying to get nothing done
looking for a simple way
to meet a simple someone
I think I should find a better place to put my feelings
do you wanna find the desert with me?
do you wanna find the desert and see
the flowers, the trees?
wasting time, tasting wine
looking for something sweeter
but avoiding the twisty road
I just sit here in my sweater
I think I should find a better place to put my teachings
do you wanna find the desert with me?
do you wanna waste today with me!?
do you wanna find the desert and see
do you care to see
the flowers, the trees?

fountain, fountain
on a mountain
counting sheep
it’s getting steep
I heard that water tastes better when it’s in reach
where I can drink it without you leaving me
stealing's not such a crime you see
everything tastes better when it's in reach
even being asleep
be gone, turn on
upon sun gone
strife gone, wife on
upon life gone
counting, counting
on astounding
in the seams, only works, it seems
where time has not been seamed
stealing's not such a crime you see
so they told me
stealing's not, when it's in reach
when you're asleep
once upon, I wrote a
no right on red song
all in, all in
bring back, bring back

everyone’s so loud
when will I hit the ground?
stuck in this crowd
everyone’s so loud
I don’t wanna feel this sound
when will I hit the ground
everyone’s so free
when will I leave your knee?
just wanna see
everyone’s so free
I don’t have to have your key
when will I leave your knee
everyone’s the same
when will we break the chain?
am I insane?!
everyone’s the same
I just want my own name
when will we break the chain
do you understand
do I understand
where do you stand
where do I stand
am I a man?
do I understand?
I just wanna use my hands

I fell into a mirror and it broke
I looked up, someone handed me a coke
I looked back, took a sip but missed my lips
up again and she was gone
I fell into a cloud and it floated away
I dropped my keys, I told her I was broke
an afternoon gone missing, lost kissing
down again and she was gone
thank God
I fell into a bucket and read the list
I saw your name, I saw what I had missed
went to the law, they told me to desist
at least you aren’t gone yet

I heard it’s supposed to make you feel better
take a little weight off your ears
just like a few more beers
equals a few less fears
I heard thats the case with you
I’ll do anything you ask of him
I heard it’s supposed to make you feel older
drop a little weight in your arms
just like you’re supposed to bear arms
before not after you leave
I heard thats the case with you
I’ll do anything you ask of him!
