coming down without a hope
shaky hands, fernet and coke
something strange is happening tonight
the moon is full and made of gold
every note like blood from stone
eventually you're bound to get it right
but you're not fooling anyone
stepping over broken glass
sprouting up like blades of grass
someone must have let go of their heart
lovers keep your other warm
give them shelter from the storm
drop the front let a real thing start
like a chilly reception
like a funhouse reflection
like immaculate conception
you're not fooling anyone

Dollar General

some things aren't worth the effort
they'll take until you've given all you got
a star falls from the sky
unnoticed in the streetlight
of the vacant dollar general parking lot
most don’t know their troubles
they'll carry around the baggage that they brought
i just get high with my neighbor
we don't talk about the future
we just talk about the things that we forgot
now every song
seems like the same song
like laying in the wash
where the river used to run
some put their faith in jesus
some keep hallelujah on repeat
i'd like to sleep straight through the night
i'd like to stay out of the light
cause i see myself in everyone i meet
o i see myself in everyone i meet
now every song
seems like the same song
like laying in the wash
where the river used to run

Outline
04:01

you'll never know if
there's a place for you in the stars
if you're more than just
an outline in the dark
i'm gonna go to new york
i'm gonna be in a movie
i'm gonna go to new york
i'm gonna be in a movie
i didn't know that
i'd be afraid to walk out my door
i can't take the pressure anymore
i'm gonna go to new york
i'm gonna be in a movie
i'm gonna go to new york
i'm gonna be in a movie
something has taken
me out of the scene
nothing means anything
anymore

kick off the sheets
cause i can't seem to
stand this summer heat
st augustine is coming
home with me
kept on repeat
every night like
living through a dream
if you still adore me
let me sleep
buzzing like some
hornet in my head
wide awake while
you’re sleeping like the dead
days done and gone
i kissed you like a fool
out on the lawn
all will soon be dust
before too long
where do you go
when the memories are gone?
what will you do
if i can't end this song?
dreaming of a place
where the music never plays
dreaming of the chord
that'll wash the rest away
