I am still living with your ghost
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
I don't wanna be your downtime
I don't wanna be your stupid game With my big black boots and an old suitcase
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
I don't wanna be the bad guy
I don't wanna do your sleepwalk dance anymore I just wanna see some palm trees
I will try and shake away this disease We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die I am still dreaming of your face
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
I don't wanna be your good time
I don't wanna be your fall-back crutch anymore Walk right up into a brand new day
Insane and rising in my own weird way
I don't wanna be the bad guy
I don't wanna do your sleepwalk dance anymore I just wanna feel some sunshine
I just wanna find some place to be alone
“Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand” …… “Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will”
I went on a date recently and listened to this song the day of and now when I listen to it, it reminds of the wonderful night we had :) We are, I think the same person. But I won't get ahead of myself... I hope...
Grew up with Crash Course and John Green books and of course when I found out they have a podcast I have not stopped listening to it! Brilliant, funny, informative everything I love. Makes me introspective in a way that's different and more positive from how I usually am.
Got into them a couple years ago and laid in my bed one too many times imagining scenarios of me in Australia (never been) where my musician BF played me one of his songs off this album..
Motel, Egg Beater are among my favorites from an album which contains tracks that are comparably brilliant in their ability to place me at ease. I listen to it occasionally when I want to be transported back in time, and though I do this with roughly 55% of what I consume, I think this album is especially good at it :)
