Hard Man

I'm a hard man to love
Not the kind you've been dreaming of
I'm the one your mama warned you about
My heart has a stain
I'm immune to feeling pain
I'm the reason for the time you waste
Ride in on my horse
Break your heart and then I'll steal your soul
Throw myself into the great god-shaped hole in your head
I'm a hard man to keep
Miles wide and a fathom deep
Deeply flawed and prone to springing leaks
My heart's like a wheel
Spins in circles and smokes and squeals
An extra part that I never really feel
We're feeling the strain
I stick my head into the sand again
Throw myself into the great god-shaped hole in your head
I'm a hard man to trust
Place your faith in me if you must
Don't pretend that you were never warned
Got nowhere to go
All my bridges went up in smoke
Got no choice but to keep on keeping on
Save all your strength
I will always keep you at arm's length
Throw myself into the great god-shaped hole in your head
Throw myself into the great god-shaped hole in your head

Falling Down Stairs

Wait, it's not too late
Bad ideas get into your head
Dry your eyes you've come unglued
Look away from what's in front of you
Lost and found, found then ran away
I've been falling down the stairs again
Cracked my stupid head along the way
Now I'm bursting through your door again
Screaming all these things I need to say
And I'm thinking I should've run, but I stayed
Bottled up for too damn long
Hurricane raging through your halls
Genie's out, the die's been cast
Change the way you recall the past
Lost and found, found then thrown away
I've been falling down the stairs again
Breaking all my bones along the way
Now I'm bursting through your door again
Screaming all the things I want to say
And I'm thinking I should've run, but I stayed
On your feet, it's time to leave
Like you do when things get to you
Heart of sand, caught in the rain
Go before you disintegrate
Lost and found, found then ran away
I've been falling down the stairs again
Cracked my stupid head along the way
Now I'm bursting through your door again
Screaming all these things I need to say
And I'm thinking I should've run, but I stayed

Me, still not the person I'd be
Not yet worn down by routine
Fucking up confidently
Me, my judgment affected us all
Resulted in decades apart
A science reduced to an art
Gradually
Dreams, they keep me awake late at night
They keep me awake out of spite
They force me to stare at the light
Awake, just for the moment it takes
For karma to shake me awake
From all of the choices I've made
Selfishly
Now, I never know
Which way is up, which way is home
Each choice that I make
Troubles me
Me, now that I'm pushing 50
The same age as my father'd be
When his bones brought him down to his knees
Here, deep in the darkest parts
We're all just a shot in the dark
A half-drunken god throwing darts
Aimlessly
Now, I never know
Which way is up, which way is home
Each choice that I make
Troubles me

Lose the Foe
03:50

Never quite the same since you've been gone
Hard to pierce this opaque veil, I try to carry on
Chance to self distract, perhaps I'll go
Beach and peace at Marbella, need to change the flow
Rays of sand and light, white on blue
From a childhood picture frame, right to dip into
Swimming through the waves, crashing down
Story book scene does belie, there's no one around
Drifting far away
Though you cannot see the clash beyond the stillness
More the fight, the more the illness
Maybe meant to be
Though you cannot fault the try, for it comes simply
Lose the foe and sink completely in
Cold and dark retreat, fear disbands
Don't know how I got this far, perhaps a guiding hand
Look around and see, it's all here
All the things that I live for, pain go nowhere near
Drifting far away
Though you cannot see the clash beyond the stillness
More the fight, the more the illness
Maybe meant to be
Though you cannot fault the try, for it comes simply
Lose the foe and sink completely in
