the rubber room
the rubber room de-escalates you
and it will hold you
and it will have you
the rubber room
forever building up your know-how
you're not so different
you're only human
and when you feel alone here
eddie can tickle all the contours of your ears
he's there too
he's there too
no photographs allowed here
the present moment will deliver your wholeness
within these walls
within these walls
trade my skin for coin, it's not worth stopping you
i'm a new york city dog let's flip the shore
playing red for keeps is harder than you knew
a pamplhet and an upper-lip confused
now don't forget
to show your work on all the problems
we don't like cheats here
only your best here
voice of the dog
it's better if you use your own words
i cannot stay here
don't wanna die here
somewhere in the underbelly i'll be free
i'm a new york city dog let's flip the shore
city streets were never quite enough for you
but now you're welcome to the rubber room

Gregory
How did you expect this to play itself out?
I'm watching as your rules are breaking
Gumming up the works
Cursed with too much time for your own good
You are a
Curling river yet to be tracked to the sea
The poise, the confidence you emanate
Just with your hands
Raglan bag and parables of Franz
I would love to dance but
Gregory, you know this can't go on
You put on a good show
But I can see you're coming undone
We can make it home alive
But I don't see why we should
You make me
Like I've come to the end of a dream
And that's a good thing definitely
All men seek for thee
I was busy looking busy
I wish I had
A clever comeback, a parthian shot
Instead I'll build an altar for you
Ownership be damned
I'm your only fan still on his feet
Gregory, you know this can't go on
You put on a good show
But I can see you're coming undone
We can make it home alive
But I don't see why we should
After you I'll have to learn how to breathe again
Ocean fell asleep and I won't make it back
After you I'll have to learn how to breathe again
Ocean fell asleep and I won't take it back

Off the coast of your back
I see us at the end of time
But I won't believe, I won't believe it
Experts talking
They say we're living in the shadow lines
Terrifying
It's a hard one to beat
With all the others raring for your defeat
Take off your earrings and
Appreciate the subtler pace
Look behind you
You said something about the future
When and where I should go to meet ya
Don't get carried away
Take only what can weather flame
Ten thousand years
I can't believe it
Start a miracle and
If it's all the same to you
Have another
When they're testing your faith
And the heat is slowly rising up to your waist
Remember this was just a curtain call
For something fake
No better time than now
You said something about the future
(I was hoping you'd say, that's what I was thinking)
When and where I should go to meet ya
(Was it off the highway, darling please remind me)
Oh well, I don't believe, I don't believe it
When and where I should go to meet ya

Maginot

I was to lead them in the summer campaign
If we're all brothers, who is Abel, who's Cain?
What would await us on the opposite hill?
Better find someone to kill
And bury in the daffodils
These hours are fragile made of cotton and bone
It's forty miles to the next hospital
I could have sworn your men were from the TV
But it was just the entropy
Turning up the century
I have come to save you
From the neighbors next door
You can put me in a box
To keep me warm
I have come to save you
From the prince and the poor
It's up to you what else you want
To keep me for
Suspicious nightingale had entered the scene
The foreign steel the unnatural gleam
It put a wall around infinity
Cause it was feeling dangerous
And you were feeling dangerous
I have come to save you
From the neighbors next door
You can put me in a box
To keep me warm
I have come to save you
From the boots on the floor
It's up to you what else you want
To keep me for
I want to be afraid
I want to break the line
I want to be afraid
To die
When I locked my eyes on you
I realized it's just a Maginot

Long in the tooth
They called it a con
Gave him a name
Class clown
It stuck with him the longest of times
A king and a queen
and sixty-four squares
Had the appearance
Of strength
He'd buckle at the point of a pen
(And then I told him)
Cross your fingers upside down
This is not a test
Take a good look all around
At what you're up against
Tell her that you're busy
Listening to Thin Lizzy
Lost on a limb
He's playing a game
Offered a hand
Take mine
Just waiting for the right time to go
A priest of my own
I make all the rules
But I got my ass handed to me
Cause wearing it don't make you cool
Cross your fingers upside down
This is not a test
Feeling sorry for ourselves
Is what we do best
Don't tell me you're lazy
Cause I know, I know that
You're hustling crazy

Are You Sure?
03:41

Love came to ask, Are you sure about anyone?
I'm waiting. I'm dying to know.
It had the appearance
Of a highlighter tunderstorm
In a hit and run
She said, Maybe. My heart is aglow. Even though...
I only met him last night
For awhile
But it seemed we could talk
For the rest of our lives
Pivoting back and forth in a folding chair
Love pressed her for more on the new boy:
The last one you had
Was a confection for the solitary stare
How does this one compare?
Don't ask me, I don't care, because...
I only met him last night
For awhile
But it seemed we could talk
For the rest of our lives
What makes you think
He'll put up with your numerous faults?
Your tendency to drink
Too much before dinner
Your obsessive time at the sink
So she says,
The more I talk about it,
The more it feels right in my heart, 'cause
I only met him last night
For awhile
But it seemed we could talk
For the rest of our lives

You're coming with me right now
Let's get out of this place
An open heart on the ground
To match a swollen face
I may be out of my depth
I could be drawing a blank
Asleep for millions of years
Now I'm up
Where am I
Tell me who should I thank
I'll be lying in the treetops
Keeping all your fears at bay
If you need someone to listen
I could always use a break
Why don't you get off your feet
You're too hard on yourself
My arms and legs are asleep
Best pain I ever felt
This will keep us up all night
To have a constant guard
They could be very nearby
I don't know
Maybe so
This isn't even my car
I'll be lying in the treetops
Keeping all your fears at bay
If you need someone to listen
I could always use a break

All Things Being Equal
04:25

Say anything, speak anything
And pretend there is no consequence
My people are tired and
They're burning in the endless fire
A lonely choir
I'm looking for a place
An international unevenness
Call me a silly man but
I invested all my cash in gold
But I miss the cold
All things being equal
I can curtsy pretty well
But you should mind your steering wheel
They'll knock you down and say you fell
Anonymous legs in a unisex stall
I haven't touched you at all
In ten days' time
A species clawing at the door
You're already down
Sprawled out on the floor
Begging for the universe
The headlines say another curse
Don't get your hopes up
The body and the blood are stuff
Of today, but not for long
All things being equal
I can curtsy pretty well
But you should mind your steering wheel
They'll knock you down and say you fell
Promise me you'll listen carefully
Take some measurements
Fill the gaps in my history
What the teacher says
Charlemagne at the bakery
Variation
Playing underneath the olive tree
Tender nation
All things being equal
I can curtsy pretty well
But you should mind your steering wheel
They'll knock you down and say you fell

This used to be a safe harbor
Every boat had an automatic anchor
I'd leave them there for a few years
And when I'd come back they would still be floating
Alas...
Which ones should I hold on to?
Alas...
Which ones can I let go of?
What happens when the decades collapse?
I keep you wrapped up in plastic
Until the time is right, no total recall
My mind took a long vacation
No service in the seaside town or hotel
Alas...
Which ones should I hold on to?
Alas...
Which ones can I let go of?
What happens when the decades collapse
Into nothing but rush-hour traffic?

He told his father
When he grew up
He wanted to save lives
Study and sail through the
MCATS, Congrats
And on to the surgical knives
You must be
out of your mind, he said
Medical school will eat you alive
Still to the local coastline
Lifeguarding suits you just fine
Easy boy
You're confused
Easy boy
Don't make a move
If you think I'm the one
You need to prove yourself to
Perched on his tower
Hiding behind
His whistle and cheap shades
Hoping just one out there
Went missing under the waves
He told his father
When he grew up
He wanted to save lives
Study and sail through those
MCATS, Congrats
And on to the surgical knives
Easy boy
You're confused
Easy boy
Don't make a move
If you think I'm the one
You need to prove yourself to
