Pavement Incorporated 04:26

He wakes up at 4am everyday Looks at who he is He’s never who he wanted to be He’s molded from corporate pessimists Suit and tie are his disguise Feels that is he left They wouldn’t realize He told me Even if the lord himself came down And told him to re-think He wouldn’t even blink Eleven hundred feet about the ground His back facing the sun He wants to jump into the sky Maybe then he will become someone Doctor please get me out of this mess Prescribe me some more Xanax Anything to make me forget That I lost the dream I had Wanted to be a drummer in a band Now I’m tied to a noose In a business land that I can’t stand Eleven hundred feet about the ground His back facing the sun He wants to jump into the sky Maybe then he will become someone He gave up on himself so long ago He gave up on himself so long ago He gave up on himself so long ago Eleven hundred feet above the ground His back facing the sun He wants to taste the pavement Maybe then he will become someone Eleven hundred feet above the ground His back facing the sun He wants to taste the pavement Maybe then he will become someone He told me Even if the lord himself came down He’d find that man on the ground Disappointed and sorry that he never became the man He so badly wanted to be So badly wanted to be So badly wanted to be So badly

Stop To Feel The Wind 04:18

The dream catcher above my bed Should be catching all my nightmares But it seems to be catching all my dreams instead Let's go back to nervous blinking Because the world is making me dizzy My body is too sensitive for all the stuff That's going on in this place My body is too sensitive for all the stuff That's going on in this place Time seems to be flying by so fast And I never got the chance to feel the Time seems to be flying by so fast And I never got the chance to feel the wind It' starting to feel like that year again Back when everything Felt like pretend Where in the world did those days go? Now that they're gone I want them back And I'm grieving Grieving for before Time seems to be flying by so fast And I never got the chance to feel the Time seems to be flying by so fast And I never got the chance to feel the wind Please stop to feel the wind with me Because I miss you more than anything Please stop to feel the wind with me Maybe then I won't feel so alone

Sugarcoated Facts 03:30
lyrics

I've been pushing myself to my limit I've been trying so hard and none of this Is getting me anywhere I'm hanging on by my fingernails Which I have bitten down to the bone I've been clawing at my eyes Which have turned blue I'm telling myself to breath But my lungs cannot seem To hold all of this air I've been looking at the sky Wishing that I could get out of here I'll tear myself to pieces Before I make it Where's the good part? The good part that I was promised and guaranteed? I've seen the truth I've seen the truth I've seen the truth and I hate it But none of this Is gonna stop me None of this Is gonna stop me I've been looking at the sky Wishing that I could get out of here I'll tear myself to pieces Before I make it All of this pressure Is seeping it's way into my pores And I'm too cold to sweat it out Pull down the shades 'Cause I'm not getting up today I've been looking at the sky Wishing that I could get out of here I'll tear myself to pieces Before I make it

The Pains Of Thinking 04:20
lyrics
buy track
Is anything here really mine? What about my voice? My words? My songs? I feel myself drifting away If I concentrate too long I'm not safe here I wonder now if I ever really was I know everyone is watching But that does not mean I'm stopping Callouses and cuts Keep building on my skin From days and days and days of producing this sin I'm not trying now But I'm going back in Where is my head? I think it's up in the clouds again Or maybe in the trees Where I fear to climb Don't tell me That I'm fine Because I know myself better than you do Nevermind I lied I don't know myself at all Callouses and cuts Keep building on my skin From days and days and days of producing this sin I'm not trying now But I'm going back in Someday I'll win

The Sky Always Changes, As Do I 04:54
lyrics

I feel so small compared to the sky It has much more talent than I I'm so unoriginal And my voice Is barely a voice But at least I try At least I try It's not that big of a deal Oh no But the freak in my head disagrees It gets checked on Every once in a while Every time I start to feel Confident in myself I'm not blaming winter Or my medication No Or anything along those lines I'm blaming myself And my insecurities So maybe this time This time It will really show me I feel so small compared to the sky It has much more talent than I But the sky is the limit he says And you're already pretty close You're already pretty close Thanks for coming in Turning down my voice And sweeping me off the pedestal I put myself on Thanks for coming in Turning down my voice And sweeping me off the pedestal That took me so long To put myself on I'm not blaming winter Or my medication No Or anything along those lines I'm blaming myself And my insecurities So maybe this time This time It will really show me I'm one girl Once voice One person up in the sky Dreaming the dream that I dreamt When I felt alive for the first time I have nothing against the sky Truly it makes me feel alive But it also makes me feel so small Come on sky Show me up

It's Only Over When You Give Up On Yourself 04:16
lyrics

I’d rather peel all the bark off of the trees Than waste my life with this disease Stomp on my dreams one by one Then watch them rot in the sun They will catch on fire My face will perspire I’ll watch the smoke rise into the sky That’s where dreams go when we let them die Don’t tell me it’s too late I once felt that way Stop blaming failures On everyone else but yourself Pick up the pieces And take a good look at yourself I don’t wanna live a selfish life Self-indulgent and full of pride I wanna treat myself right Break down those stupid doors Or take a hammer to the floors You’ve gotta get out somehow Don’t say you’ve strayed too far Who’s to say you’re done and gone? Don’t tell me it’s too late I once felt that way Stop blaming failures On everyone else but yourself Pick up the pieces And take a good look at yourself Don’t tell me it’s too late I once felt that way Stop blaming failures On everyone else but yourself If you want success Go get it yourself
