a vacation is all I've ever wanted I just cannot escape these walls all the people in my life are telling me "well, John, you've got to get away" I'll take the extended vacation to a place that i know well it's called the padded-cell hotel where they told me I might find myself but instead I found the floor I broke myself upon from the thought of being exiled from all the places I've belonged it's the last time you'll see me don't try to reach me they've cut me off the vacation never fucking happened I'm still stuck inside these walls all the people in my life now know about how displacement has been haunting me I spend my whole day staring at the hands on ticking clocks trying to find a cure for all this goddamned writer’s block when everything is lost and nothing can be found you can find me at the bus stop waiting to leave town sometimes I forget where I am sometimes I don't know sometimes I forget where I am sometimes I struggle to find my home

Hooper 02:15
when I was young, those were the days before we went our separate ways we met each night between those streets to hide ourselves and find our friends if I could, I would stay but it seems soon I must leave here Fallons and their come-outside calls shows at skateparks and Whittier Ball Hooper late night in the summer I thought this could last forever mall at Steamtown and South Side Bowl Cafe Metro, crash at Leo's hanging jester jams on Willow this has made me the person I've become I'll see you soon I'll be home soon

Wolf 03:38
I heard the words you spoke to me but they just ran right through my skull I never thought you were serious you were always crying wolf I owe you a big apology I owe you a little more respect I heard the words you spoke to me but they just ran right through my skull I never thought you were serious you were always crying wolf I never thought you were serious your words ran through me your words hold weight they bring me down they drag me down I can't feel you anymore

Foliage 04:10
since i was born, i've been standing still i listen to all of your songs i've never met my mother i never will i've seen war I've seen pain I have watched you grow old but you don't notice me at all I shed my clothes like clockwork but I don't drink at all there are holes in my skin from those who call me home the wars will never cease neither will the pain but you will cease to grow and I will not I give you life don't cut me down I help you breathe don't cut me down

what did we learn? what will this help right now? about nothing at all what will this help right now? in the end nothing at all what did we learn? I won't even talk to you one week from now I won't even answer your calls today I won't even talk to you three months from now I won't even answer your calls today what did we learn?

I've been here eight years and nothing's changed a few more roads don't mean a thing there's nothing I can do and nothing I can use to help me live my life I've watched this fire burn and turn into a pile of coals this town seems to bury me under all of these shady trees we're all trapped, don't you know? in this humid hell hole it's the saltwater that makes us drown we are sinking down we will hold our breath we will try our best we will hold our breath we will try our best to float I've watched this fire burn and turn into a pile of coals this town seems to bury me under all of these shady trees

Party On 03:08
if I could see the signs I'd have been gone long before if I could read your mind I'd have never came this far but I'm too tired to turn around again I look all over and I find love at the end I'm picking up again I'm moving straight ahead I can see a light at the end I'll find love I will be moved I'll embrace the hope I feel if I could see the signs I'd have been gone long before if I could read your mind I'd have never came this far but I'm too tired to turn around again I look all over and I find love at the end

Warning 04:12
me, I try to make this life worthwhile me, I try to stay in my right mind yes, I try, but we all fail sometimes yes, I try to find the good in life don’t waste your life don’t waste your time
9.
I've been feeding birds again the kindness spreads around they've landed on my bench again to listen to their sounds I have given all I could give but then I realize I'm wrong as long as I have love to give my wealth is infinite I watch them fly away again it hurts to say goodbye I watch them flying back again and then I realize why why we do the things we do? why the birds keep flying through? I pick my head up and see the beauty that surrounds me you should fly on down why don't you fly down? fly on down
10.
stay up late early rise seize your day make your life feel free to be you don't be late don't be on time don't hesitate just live your life feel free to be you
