Half a Dream

been on that road
many times before
on my way home
whether it rains or pours
lost in my thoughts
lost in yours
held by a thread
I’m in my head
that wasn’t even more than half a dream
can’t remember
even getting here
nervous center
must’ve been shifting gears
automatic?
driving stick?
held by a thread
I’m in my head
that wasn’t even more than half a dream
that wasn’t even more than half a dream
that wasn’t even more than half a dream
that wasn’t even more than half a dream
can’t remember
even getting here
that wasn’t even more than half a dream
that wasn’t even more than half a dream
that wasn’t even more than half a dream
that wasn’t even more than half a dream

Not All Bad
05:15

you had your hat up in the clouds
of course until you bumped your head
a drop of blood it stained your blouse
you can’t remember what I said
but why would you so never mind
nothing I say is memorable
and looking back we fall behind
you bet we are vulnerable
hey it’s really not all bad
when you feel you’re not quite ironclad
you know it’s gonna be ok
the pain will fade away
it’s really not all bad
when you feel you’re not quite ironclad
you know it’s gonna be ok
the pain will fade away
you smelled the taste of cinnamon
and ran to the bagel shop
you turned and pulled a ligament
that one is rather hard to top
you’re not just gonna gather dust
well you can hop what can’t you do
you power through this time you must
walk on the other shoe
hey it’s really not all bad
when you feel you’re not quite ironclad
you know it’s gonna be ok
the pain will fade away
undoubtedly the wounds are real
we can tell we’re so not made of steel
I guess it’s gonna be alright
soon you’ll fly high as a kite
we care, we hurt, we trip, we kiss the dirt
we learn to love one another
we care, we hurt, it’s easy to hate
and take the bait and not be bothered
hey it’s really not all bad
when you feel you’re not quite ironclad
you know it’s gonna be ok
the pain will fade away
undoubtedly the wounds are real
we can tell we’re so not made of steel
I guess it’s gonna be alright
soon you’ll fly above the kites

Tell a Lie

tell a lie
for your own good
it’s a lullaby
firewood
tell a lie
misinform
it’s a lullaby
comfy and warm
tell a lie
not even true
it’s a lullaby
as sweet as you
tell a lie
after hours
it’s a lullaby
and a flower
falsify
magnify
justify
rectify
falsify

tell a lie
step outside
June July
run and hide
tell a lie
set it free
let it fly
straight to me
tell a lie
because you can
it’s a lullaby
no back-up plan
tell a lie
write it down
it’s a lullaby
with pretty sounds
tell a lie
falsify
magnify
justify
rectify
falsify

falsify / tell a lie

falsify / tell a lie

And I Forgot Again
03:15

did I forget to change my mind
I wasted time and fell behind
the sky was darker than the sea
the sky was darker than the sea
stepped in early and out asap
but I could not locate the map
and I forgot to change my mind
and I forgot to change my mind
if you want to make it a better day
without clouds up there
thinking your way would be the only way
sit in the sun for all I care
who’s the one who said it would be a joke
funny or insane
if you only needed a motor boat
to fly right into the rain
did I forget to change my mind
I wasted time and fell behind
the sky was darker than the sea
the sky was darker than the sea
stepped in early and out asap
but I could not locate the map
and I forgot to change my mind
and I forgot to change my mind
if you want to make it a better day
start it the night before
thinking your way would be the only way
all my fears slip out the door

Shredder
04:15
|

|
it’s a brand new end
to the same old trend
we can’t hide it and it shows
everybody knows
so you wrote novels
and they felt awful
but why on earth would I need
more than I could read
should it hurt better
burning your letters
and I’ll probably regret it
at least a little bit
now I might spend some time alone
with the company shredder overnight
going to spend some time alone
with the company shredder over you
tissues on the floor
then you cried some more
of course we share the heartache
despite the smiles we fake
no one sticks around
going out of bounds
it’s always been my downfall
writings on the wall
that’s no paperwork
for an office clerk
the day you found your own place
you left and left a trace
out of sight spend some time alone
with the company shredder overnight
going to spend some time alone
with the company shredder over you
walk or bike, trash or keep
it’s not like I was gonna sleep
I’m all packed, carrying on my back
bulky bookshelves we kept to ourselves
out of sight spend some time alone
with the company shredder overnight
going to spend some time alone
with the company shredder over you

"Some songs just hit home; you can’t put it into words, you can’t really explain it (though I’ll try, poorly), but you love
them. The moment I pressed play on the latest A Fawn at Dawn track from their False Memory EP I was hooked."
Nathan Lankford, Austin Town Hall
