I could bark at the moon for a little light
I could call up your brother for a fight
Spent the last 2 weeks not right
Think I’ll get in the car instead
Aim nowhere and drive a while
Ramble into the place I know
45 miles out and down the road
Boots are wet running in from the snow
Hang my jacket and my hat
Order a pint and catch a show
Don’t name it after me
Not the boat, not the kids, not the home
Don’t blame all on it me
I’m just a storm with a smile and a glow.
I can tell them a story.
I can sing them a song.
They would all start to listen
But they won’t stay long.
There’s mouths down the hall
There’s eyes in the walls
Whisper in their tongues
But they’ve got me all wrong

Scratched Mirrors

Alex is dreaming and she swears that it was
Better back in the day. Back when she still felt young
The kids are moving to a different groove she says
It feels heartless. It's mechanic. Nothing to make her feel moved
Novelty has expiration. Faster than she had guessed
Cherishing memories. Knowing the 90s were the best
Everybody knows how they got here
Keeping up appearances. Scratching at the mirrors
Refuse to pay attention to the signs on the road
Only listen to the songs that were pleasant on our ears
Listless in the West. Back when the rivers were clean
Boats could float. The snow would melt. The air let her breathe
Fills her hopes with stories of the days back with the scene
It was youthful. It’s nostalgic. Veneer coming off at the seems
If it got us here then was it ever really worth it?
Alex is torn to this day. Does her best to ignore it
