Worried Guy

Before you joined us
I was a worried guy
So disjointed
Couldn't see out my eyes
And now I'm sleeping like I haven't in years
I'm finally dreaming
Gaslighting all my fears
And now you've grown some
Can't believe, my oh my
That I was chosen to spot you as you climb
I found a reason
You gave me a wheel to steer
I'm finally breathing
So glad that you are here
You say "today, today, today"
And all the noise just sifts away
It's obvious advice
Don't get stuck behind your eyes
Can't defeat the standing waves
So I'll surrender and remain
It's obvious advice
Don't get stuck behind your eyes
Forget tomorrow for today and not give into limbic brain
It's obvious advice

I tend to contradict
Cuz I can't help it when things they make me sick
You tell me not to predict
When this mess will get fixed
Don't think that I'm cut out for this
Sure hope that I don't get sick
Well these are foolish thoughts at best
And I'm not of that school of thoughtlessness
They say fake it 'til you make it, eh?
'Til you're burned out and gainsaying again
Don't want to be one of the assumed dead
When it comes to assuming you know what they said
Don't want to live anymore inside my head
Burned out and gainsaying again
I tend to make a mess
But I want to get from no to yes

Five Minutes

Think you've got third world problems
In your first world mind
Well take a look it's in a book
You're just the worried kind
You shaky shook, they all mistook you
For a downed power line
You found the hook, that's all it took
And everything is fine
Always five minutes from perfect
Just like an asymptote
Along any given curve
You never quite hit zero
You play for keeps but it just seems
You're barely scraping by
If talk is cheap, then why do these tightrope talkers get paid so high?
You try to sleep and count the sheep
But they never seem to fly
Always five minutes from perfect
Just like an asymptote
Along any given curve
You never quite hit zero

On The Brink

There's a shiny rectangle beside the bed
And in the morning await instructions
There's a brand newfangle inside your head
Set for automatic deduction
Personal data been strip mined
It's a bit of a trade-off but I don't mind
Sure could use a day off, I will survive
Just a temporary player, but I got mine
Stood in line all day for the next big thing
Skipping life today, you know it's so enticing
Try to keep up the pace and go obsolete
Tied to time and space you know we're never free
Oh what we used to be, oh it was SUCH A SCREAM
Standing on the brink and I like what I see
I learned my lines today, they flowed across the screen
I played my part today, an extra in the American dream
You know it's not too late to just hit delete
Almost D.O.A. get a new D.O.B.

Let me tell you something
Cuz they're about to push the button
I'm so glad you are here
On the last day
Put your arms around me
In present tense (in future tense)
Wrap your heart around me
In figurative sense
And we'll stand firm against this unwelcome sunrise
It will paint us on the ground
This sun burns so bright, our ghosts will vaporize
Let me tell you something else while there's still time
I was so glad you were alive
Now put your arms around me
