The Procrastinator

I keep putting off things I don't want to do
And I will delay any interaction with you
And I keep putting off the hardest decisions
Yeah, I keep lying to myself
Because I am
The Procrastinator
I am
The Procrastinator
The letters pile up in my mailbox
The people line up at my door
My tasks flow over all the edges
And pool in puddles on the floor
Because I am
The procrastinator
I am the
Procrastinator
And I keep putting off things I don't want to do
And I will delay any interaction with you
And I keep putting off the hardest decisions
I keep lying to myself
Because I am
The procrastinator
And I will do it later

If working on your chemistry
Only makes you think of me
I know
We're in the same boat
If shirking responsibility
Is all you ever wished
To be your life
That's nice
And I've totally lost my place in this
I've totally lost my place
And I've totally lost my will to persist
I hope someday that we make it out of this
If you've got to prioritize
Before you even realize you've lost me
Then you're like me
If you wanted to me to tell the truth
God only knows what I'd produce
I'd lie, I'd be deceitful
I've totally lost my place in this
I've totally lost my place
And I've totally lost my will to persist
I hope someday that we make it out of this

You make me sad unintentionally
I got so wrapped up in imagining what we could be
I never stopped to think about what you did on your own
Now you've got somebody and that bird has flown
That ship has sailed
The aviary was my bottle was my jail
That bird has flown
That ship has sailed
I wasted my time and now I know I've failed

I Don't Have The Time
02:03

You say I'm better off off alone
You're hanging up the phone
I agree
You say all things come to and end
We were better off as friends
I agree
And I
Don't have the time
For you
You say my music sucks
You say I'm out of luck
I agree
You say we started strong
But as things went along
I changed a bit too much
I guess we're just out of touch
I agree
And I
Don't have the time
For you
You say of all the planets orbiting all of the stars in all the solar systems
Why did it have to be this one?
You say of all the people in this town, all the guys I hang around
Why did it have to be this one?
And I
Don't have the time
For you

Everything Falls Apart
03:02
|
|||
|
It's funny how different parts of our lives can be thematically the same
There's some kind of hidden structure buried deep within our brains
You wouldn't understand when I say I've done all this before
You wouldn't understand the fact that I know exactly what's in store for all of us
Everything falls apart
Everything is subject to change
You wouldn't believe me when I said
This is a young man's game
And you've been lying on your bed
Working it out in your head how you could come back from this
But you can't
It's funny how once in a great long while
Someone can make you smile
Like you've forgotten the ways that it went
Every time your will was bent
You know it's a great mistake
To let your stubbornness break
You've got a lot of loves to lose
You've got a lot of friends to make
Everything falls apart
Everything is subject to change
You wouldn't believe me when I said
This is a young man's game
And you've been lying on your bed
Working it out in your head how you could come back from this
But you can't
That's the way it's been for so long
Everyone gets lost in their song
Shoveling their own grave
Inking on the last page
Traveling along
We all know that it's pointless
I shouldn't even write this
You knew each idea
In this song
Everything falls apart
Everything is subject to change
You wouldn't believe me when I said
This is a young man's game
And you've been lying on your bed
Working it out in your head how you could come back from this
But you can't

I Just Want To Remain
02:45
|
|||
|
I spent two good years
Talking to the ghost inside my head
And if I disappeared
Nobody would have cared if I were dead
But I found solace in the wildly spinning thoughts inside my brain
And I admit to everything I've done to cause you pain
And I don't want you to leave, no no
I just want you to stay
I don't want you to leave, no no
I just want to remain
I've tried to understand
All the twisting threads inside my soul
But I never planned
That you would be the thing to fill the hole, there
And I found solace in the flapping shutters of my broken eyes
And I admit, I've never been one to repeat a lie
So don't want you to leave, no no
I just want you to stay
I don't want you to leave, no no
I just want to remain
And I had days before
I knew I wanted something more than this
And you were the catalyst
For who I am today
So what can I say?
I don't want you to leave, no no
I just want you to stay
I don't want you to leave, no no
I just want to remain

Bright fall days
Black fall nights
I will fall asleep with you and we'll be alright
But the morning will come
And we'll be fine
Provided you get up and I can make it home in time
Oh, oh you tragic place
Truth written on my face
Where do you disappear to
When I'm no longer near you
And I've been tracking lies that don't exist
I just have problems dealing with my loneliness
Hit me up
Break me down
Take every muscle in your smile to turn it around
Park your car
Open the door
I'm fine with taking over if you can't drive anymore
Oh, oh you tragic place
Truth written on my face
Where do you disappear to
When I'm no longer near you
And I've been tracking lies that don't exist
I just have problems dealing with my loneliness
True love comes and goes
Your enervation grows
You don't want to bring it up
But I already know
Oh, oh you tragic place
Truth written on my face
Where do you disappear to
When I'm no longer near you
And I've been tracking lies that don't exist
I just have problems dealing with my loneliness

Summer's Cold
03:18
|
|||
|
You better listen to the wind blown in your window
You ought to know that every breeze is felt by me
You hadn't even stopped to think about my name though
Since the ending of your sentence set you free
And now you know across the city summer's freezing
And you know the weather's chillier alone
Oh and I know you won't try to melt the ice
In the stifling summer's cold
You better try to think about those you've forgotten
You better think about the ones you've left behind
You'd better push your memories into your mind now
You'd better put the tape inside and press rewind
And now you know across the city summer's freezing
And you know the weather's chillier alone
Oh and I know you won't try to melt the ice
In the stifling summer's cold
You know I never managed to make an impression
If I call, you probably won't remember me
So I guess this song is asking for forgiveness
For all the lost defrosted distant memory
And now you know across the city summer's freezing
And you know the weather's chillier alone
Oh and I know you won't try to melt the ice
In the stifling summer's cold

Cloud Song
02:22
|
|||
|
I washed up on your summer shores
As the old forgotten rainboot of a sailor
And I spent my hours singing in the middle of the night
Singing for you to carry me home
And I will throw myself into the arms of any
Night-breeze that makes me feel hollow
You're the kind of wind that I can get behind
You're the kind of wind that blows me home
You floated on my sunset sky
To surprise me with the sight of someone special
You're the kind of cloud that I can only see once
You're the kind of cloud that floats away
You're the kind of cloud that I can only see once
Because you're the kind of cloud that floats away
