walk on by try another day
one more time then i'll get away
one of these days i'll be alone
no sign of you baby
i'll get right back where i belong before the end
and you give yourself away
you don't need to cause i never earn it
am i crawling out from my design
and i guess it's a consolation i believe that it would end the same
given any other combination of people, time, and place
i'm holding tightly to a dream i can't defend
and until i let it go the cycle will never end
one of these days i'll be alone
no sign of you baby
i'll get right back where i belong before the end
and you give yourself away
you don't need to cause i don't deserve it
am i crawling out from my design
somewhere in the cycle
i guess i'll let it go this time
but it's fine
i tread a little water
and then i wait for something
wait for something
wait for something i could never give
always in the cycle
i guess i fucked it up this time
but it's fine
i tread a little water
and then i wait for something
wait for something
wait for something i could never give

nobody looking out for my health of mind i guess i've known it forever
high time i look right after myself nobody gonna know any better
one more you're gonna keep it down there
gonna keep it down there
gonna keep it down there
it's the only thing that comes for free
but it'll never be enough for me
and if you're looking out for number one
well then you might as well just have your fun
one more you're gonna keep it down there
gonna keep it down there
gonna keep it down there
you already know

Plans

no competition now i'm taking all the blame
start something different but it always ends the same
i got to thinking how i'm waiting for a chain/change
there's nothing left out there that i don't know
get to an empty room and lock up all the doors
always got time but i could always use some more
but now i wonder what i'm really looking for
find something else i haven't left behind
by now i should know
it's better than nothing
oh i know i should know
but all these plans are making my days flow by
they're gonna tie my hands and follow me til i die

In the Desert

time bleeds echoing away
my needs left for a bright day
slow times make for the downvibe
clear signs leave in the landslide
on board my road to nowhere
i'm bored and barely aware
detach all thoughts from feeling
remove all words
now you turn the page
and you can see it all
feels like you're moving
but you never know where you fall
i got a lot to say lately
but i don't mind
i breathe draw in the stale air
mind free still going nowhere
i walk out in the city
but it don't do nothing for me
now you turn the page
and you can see it all
feels like you're moving
but you never know when you fall
i got a lot to say lately
or nothing at all
