lyrics

I'll streamline my ambitions until they are nonexistent
Caught between big life decisions and the hole I'm climbing in
You can cram my world into a sonnet, get my checks direct deposit
Shut the window, the rain is coming in

I feel protected with your eyes on me so when you're gone what am I to do?

I'm no good at taking pictures so I'll write a thousand words
Pen to paper, heart to ice cube
I'm too awkward on the phone, I won't bother calling you at home
Just sit in silence, let my thoughts drift far away

To another land where the air is blue, and you hold my hand cause you want to
Where I'm not alone because I have you, where I'll never get though I've got to
I never read the signs right, Rubicon then i blow up mid-flight

And all the others they will say with a straight face
Happy-go-lucky they'll contend in the rat race
A stoic certainty pulled straight from the free fall
They'll say "it doesn't matter at all"

I'll streamline my ambitions until they are nonexistant
Just the erase the mental image of your smile
Cause the times they are a-changing, scraps of confidence I've been saving
For an appropriate occasion like today

The Michael Character Boston, Massachusetts

It's political music, whatever. Based in Boston, MA. Absolutely willing to drive very far to play for you and five of your vaguely alternative friends in your combination kitchen/laundry room. Hit me up. I'm fully serious.
