Cold Weather Clothes

Startin to turn cold and so you close the door for warmth
Cozy in your solitude but your heart is feelin sore
And in the end inside your head it's gettin kinda hot
So cool it down and just look around and weather out the coming storm
Clouds are rollin in, wish I had a magic book
To clear the air and make it so the sun could take a look
But tryin to control the weather does more bad than good
Get a cover for the hole in the door and hope I've got more firewood
Head's in the clouds, got my feet on the ground
Rain or shine, hope that I'll be fine
I've had it up to here with all the fluctuating degrees
The insulation's thin it's not doin a damn thing
Thinner than my patience but my patience is up to me
Got a closet full of cold weather clothes better put them on before I freeze
Head's in the clouds, got my feet on the ground
Rain or shine, hope that I'll be fine

Pixel People

All I see is make believe
From belvederes inside a screen
A quiet rendezvous from another world
Pettin robots with my thumbs
I do it til my mind is numb
Enough to think that I'm still in control
I'm at ease with myself
So what's with all the existential freakouts?
Floating through a cycle
Of searchin, scrollin, postin, hopin that someday
I'll find some time for livin
I'm a pixel person but
I think that I have had enough
Of letting what I hold get a hold of me
So I might miss out on things
But no one's even listening
The pixel people party carries on
I'm at ease with myself
I hope it lasts but only time will tell
A different kind of update
Where you don't need a password or an application
To open up your mind

Happiness Machines

Started as a user friendly unit
Then we hatched a plan and thought we could improve it
Got plugged in and followed all of the instructions
Prepared for mass production
Thought we had the keys to the kingdom
All we had to do was sign away some freedom
And replace a couple parts deemed insufficient
To show we could commit
We just seem like happiness machines
Programmed to forget we're human beings
Gotta keep the numbers high, put on the suit and tie
All while happiness passes us by
Did our work then we were put on stand by
As we waited for the pie in the sky
To descend and feed our weary juggernaut
But there was no response
We just seem like happiness machines
Programmed to forget we're human beings
Gotta broadcast our whole lives to all the microscope eyes
All while happiness passes us by

Pisces eyes it's been a long long time
Since you said it is what it isn't and that was that
But maybe it's my intuition or optimistic, vain delusions
That's kept a light on for you in my heart
Sentimental history of pipe-smoking conspiracies
That everyone was living in our dream
You call me by my silvan name and yet I'm stuck here playing games
When all I wanna do is tell the truth

I Think I Know

I think I know how this is going to go
I'd rather not be here but if you say so
How is it the world can be so terrible
And then the very next minute be so beautiful?
Fussin, fightin, bullets flyin, don't know what to do
Feelin like it might be time to run away with you
I wonder if my neurons and synapses
Have read their correspondence with their glasses
Cause I just can't think of how we've gotten where we are
It's like we're diggin a grave just to see the stars
You woke me late at night pounding on my chest
Lamenting through your tears that we should have left
A whirl of sirens then a flash of light
We cried and held each other, I'll see you in the next life
Where am I?
Am I alive?
Oh, why?
Where are you? Where are you?
What do I do to get back to you?
