Finally settling into someone else's skin
Take all that's been prescribed again and again and again
Flush em down with the rest, see how long you can last
A day after's a drag, and a past is a pest 2x
But I know that I can't, for a while, don't know when
I know it's difficult to say, "you'll make it back ok"
Apply a method to ease all that's in disarray
Make some karmic decisions, yes, be that as it may
People never quite quit in the way that they say 2x
But just know that you can, for a while anyway
Take it in and shake it out
His gathered garb from lost and found
Wonder how long he'll hang around
Refusal to cause fuss about
A love of any substance
How a palette grows all sweet and sour
He talks too loud, complains, cowers
Takes leave to greet the after hours
To come in late, "Everything's just great"
He says it just to ease me
But this friend you've known will go back home
A time you wanted all alone is here
Is this it? The room's on fire
Afraid to sleep, behold your tired seer
Who sees it clear, day-after nears
Gives him the heeby jeebies
You're at an age, play Hard To Explain
The things that tend to make you feel ashamed
No ritual or sacrament
The shit you do by accident remains
But I see it plain
Day-after came and went so easily
Surprisingly
Whether the past is a pest, is anybody's guess
He gives up, I give up in the best way I can
I give up, he gives up in the best way we can
We give up, we give up, in the best way

Abraham
I heard you graduated
Your whole family attended
Even mom
I heard you got a job now
In spite of all the loud mouths
Who claimed you wouldn't know how
Our dad must be so proud now
Little man
She begged you for near water
You settled for a garden
A station not much farther
Then soon came all the children
After much complication
But I bid congratulations
And wonder what you'll name them
Little man, I heard you gained some wisdom
People try to change you
Make your ambitions feel small
Things like, "it''s lonely at the top"
Yeah if you get there at all
Won't motivate you, their interest only
With spite for every failure you've had
They'll just keep dimming the light if you let them
I wish that you'd die sleeping
Your kids could spread your ashes with everybody laughing
We'll see if that revives you
Little man, I think you're getting smaller
Your last name getting stranger just like mine
Oh, little man, I'll see you at the station

got a job, it pays ok
you don't mind it staying that way
it's all part of a brilliant short term plan
save the money that you make
hoping you can quit one day
you'll do it soon, while you're young, while you can
but a vision aint as vivid as you'd like
when offered overtime to work the overnight
keep the job, at least while money's always tight
put up with sleeping through the reaping morning light
weeks and weeks go by so slow
and by now you've come to know
that money given's far better than money earned
jump in front of a taxi. cause a wreck
cash some fat insurance check
you need to rest, allot some time, grow and learn
but a vision aint as vivid as you'd like
when offered overtime to work the overnight
a reminder: this is necessary stress
one needs a job way the hell more than one needs rest
back to second guessing through the night
premonitions much too obvious to be right
being alone with only you, try as you might
you're still caught sleeping through the reaping
buried in the tablet, so complacent
always leaving early, what a statement
you can see a bar now from the station
opposite directions are adjacent
similar scenarios, escape them
limitless scenarios, escape them
