I'm certified
The sun took flight a little brighter today
I'm a phoenix, man
The air's a little thinner where I am
You just won't escape my harsh gravity
I'm the nuclei
I'm bonafide
We all play the part
You're the hands and the knees
I'm the beating heart
I'm the nuclei
The center of everything
I'll get you what you want
I'll get you what you need
If you wanna pass go
You gotta go through me
I can pick you up
I can put you down
If I can lift you up
Then I can let you down.

So It Goes

What a bullshit summer
You were sleeping sound
This one was not much better
No restless isolation
Or staring down your drink
Rereading magazines and your medicine bottles
It's all upside down and inside out
Don't take this wrong
I'm sort of glad you're not around
I'm glad you missed the mayhem
This marvelous mess we're left in
No grim punctuation for you
Life was bright with you around
But every candle flickers out
You were right on time when you got going

Fix Me Up

GW: "Doc, you gotta help me. I'm in a bad way.
Nothing seems to work and I'm in a lot of pain.
I've got a sturdy reputation, I'm a monument!
If they see me now, what are they gonna say?
You gotta fix me up!
They're gonna cut me down
Chop me up
Slash and burn in the name of sport.
The truth don't matter any more"
Life is mundane and truth is so blase
There's no shame and no telling
Just what those bastards will say
They're gonna repeat what they wanna believe
Cook up the evidence
Get ahead of this thing, feed em a line, and control the narrative!
DOC: "Man, you gotta unwind. Your sterling reputation is gonna be just fine.
None of this shit is gonna matter in time. Stop drinking tawny port like it's normal wine
and I can fix you up."
They're gonna chop me down and carve me up.
Slash and burn in the name of sport.
The truth don't matter any more.
Life is mundane and truth is so blase
There's no shame and no telling
Just what those bastards will say
They're gonna repeat what they wanna believe
Conjure the evidence
Get ahead of this thing, feed em a line, and control the narrative!

Burn

There's a box in the basement full of doubt
I hope you kept your distance
I thought I buried it there
It followed me here
It followed me home
In the first light of day when I find my flame it's gonna burn.
Take it easy on me
Don't laugh it's not funny
I was under the waves
I couldn't shake all the weight of those days
They swallowed me whole
How pathetic of me to be so damned hopeful and naive
To think I was at all exciting.
I'll drive around this horrid town and
Shift between worthless and waiting
I'll swerve around acknowledging
That I waste all my time and all my energy
On you and you and you.
I'm not a net
And I'm not a thunder vest
I'm not ashamed
Just kind of an idiot.
