Foothold (Reprise)

I’m always cleaning up your messes
Taking advantage of my good nature
You’re inconsistent, I’m submissive
Always walking away feeling lost and not understood
Shifted the stones to build you a foothold
Just to end up all alone
A tarnished name by proxy
I came home again
And everything changed,
There was no “we” anymore
It’s not the same,
I guess you changed your mind again
And made me wait around for you to decide
Seems like when everything changed and it fell apart,
It made some room for undistracted focus,
Maybe it was for the best
I exhausted my energy
In being enemies
With anyone who ever crossed me
Instead of creating a scenery
I exhausted my effort and disregarded my complacency
In everyone else’s dreams but mine
They take what they need, and leave me out to dry.

Two worlds away
Not in love with the way I don’t see productivity
in a 40 hour week
Days start to bleed, into months, into years
A different point of fear
Where everything seems so utterly unclear
And I don’t know why I’m still here
Pointless accolades, a slight increase in pay
I’ll get to my dreams another day
I’m holding my breath
For something to come next
Maybe another opportunity
To start over again
Not an if, but a when
A chance to be that man inside my head
I’m sick to my stomach from all the time I spent
A superficial summit, there’s no light at the end
A 30 minute unpaid break,
A heart to bleed, my soul to take
Like I’m just fucking giving it away

Salt (Reprise)

If I could change the pace of this world
Then I would
Make my mistakes unrestrained
I won’t regret them, though I should
What’s the name of the man that stands where I once stood
Can’t tell you where I’ve been,
Wish that I could
Stay home, and put my lust on a shelf so I’ll just
Let go, keep all my limbs to myself If I’m just
Left alone, it’s safe, selfish I know
But I can’t seem to stand too well on my own
A grain of salt
In a sea of snow
How am I supposed to grow
When I’m drowning financially, I know
That I can’t even start a savings
It’s hard for me to blame things
Not on myself, but on my lust
For holding on way too long

Your silver car
Through the long straight night
He talks to you, through the radio
“Son, you call this a life? There’s no love in a lie”
Seven hours in the wrong direction
Where are you heading now?
Another coastal town
Maybe this time, I’ll build my empire right
So I can sleep at night
You realize, your eyes were closed the whole time
As you drift asleep at the wheel
“The whole world’s mine”, you told yourself when you were younger
Now you’re old and all alone
With nothing to call your own
Not even a family back in the city,
Betty found a man who cares more than me
You love being the stranger
You love knowing it all
Let the lust of capitalistic casualty remind you
There’s nothing you can keep,
There’s nothing you can leave behind
Without your name scratched under the lid
Of the box you keep your secrets in
Filled to the brim
But you can’t win
Guess you’ll have to start all over again

Run That Body Down

Went to my doctor yesterday
She said I seem to be O.K.
She said
"Paul, you better look around
How long you think that you can
Run that body down?
How many nights you think that you can
Do what you been doin'
Who you foolin?"
I came back home and I went to bed
I was resting my head
My wife came in and she said
"What's wrong, sweet boy, what's wrong
Ah, I told her what's wrong
I said "Peg, you better look around
How long you think that you can
Run that body down?
How many nights you think that you can
Do what you been doin'
Now, who you foolin?"
Kid, you better look around
How long you think that you can
Run that body down?
How many nights you think that you can
Do what you been doin'
Who you foolin?
