When I was a kid I loved the bible and Relient K When I was a kid I played Frodo but now someday soon I’ll be Gandalf the grey What Was it like before? Because to a child and open window could be an open door (it’s cause they’re so short) When I was a kid it was all about the sound but now I hear the words and they can be a drag When my oldest brother played me mr. bright side well it took until now to realize that bright eyes was so goddamn sad Oh maryland, or mary anne Whats your name? In the backseat of my car theres a book that you’re afraid to read but it’s got your name oh maryland, or mary lou? It’s all the same I thought I saw it wrong because of my age but I saw it all wrong through my tinted shades

This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through I didn’t wanted to leave town, until I met you The angels beckon me from heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore O Lord, You know I have no friend like You If heaven's not my home, then, Lord, what will I do The angels beckon me from heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore They're all expecting me, and that's one thing I know, My Savior pardoned me, and now I onward go I know He'll see me through though I am week and poor, And I can't feel at home in this world anymore. Just up in glory land we'll live eternally The saints on every hand are shouting victory Their songs of sweetest praise drift back from heaven's shore And I can't feel at home in this world anymore now where will I go If I have no higher power What’s more to lean than warm water from a shower when I thought about it all I knew I was wrong but out of all my poor words To the lord I lift this song

In my bedroom, I know all the corners I know where each door leads too and what each lightswitch does but when I walk downstairs it’s not the same I miss my old papers and those old drawings Its not that i’m afraid to change I just hate waking up oh all my dreams they never go long enough If I saw it all on paper every dream i ever had I’d never say “Well in the morning we’ll rise come on! its morning lets wake up! and see what the real sun looks like” cause its an awful saying “sometimes dreams fall hard” and the high school kids saying “oh, its so hard” I can’t sometimes tell if its a dream or its real when I get drunk my lips get numb but i can’t feel anything in a dream so am I dreaming or too fucking trashed if I saw it all on paper I’d never get of my ass, I’d never say “Well in the morning we’ll rise come on! its morning lets wake up! and see what the real sun looks like” cause its an awful saying “sometimes dreams fall hard” and the college kids saying “oh, its so hard” Is it too much too ask for? am i asking you to turn back time or am i asking you to close those blinds Mother, don’t wake me up till I’m done I like these dreams so much and theres a way out, but I wish that there wasn’t one So In the morning well rise in the morning well wake up and we’ll see what the real sun looks like but it’s awful knowing all my dreams fall hard when it’s no longer dark, oh its so hard good morning doctor good morning fireman good morning children good morning to every human what will today bring us? well what’s the plan? I’m learning where my hands go and it’s not in my pockets I’m learning how to let go and it sucks hardcore let me tell you no in the morning I’ll rise in the morning I’ll wake up and the sun will burn out my eyes with out my shades to protect them my eyes will get sunburns

so tilt your head to the good side and keep your bad side inside that look in your right eye I love it I died on the road on riverside drive the windshield glass gouged out my eyes but now I keep on driving, dead and blind

Like a pill bug next to a fresh planted flower do you notice changes in geography? like a dumb kid my parents bought me new friends and i believed it and i believed it if my mother doesn't go to sleep if my dad doesn't have any money I’ll have to stay here I’ll have to stay here You were ready with an open right hand in your left you held a knife, you said, “I’ll cut open my chest, and make my white t-shirt red striped” I thought I could give you a t-shirt to wear I thought you liked it when I touched your hair If you still need a t-shirt just take one from my drawer cause I've got a lot of t-shirts I don’t need any more I burned down a church I though it wouldn’t hurt Well it was fun while it lasted, but it didn’t work I though it’d be such a pleasure to watch your house burn I was ready with an open right hand in my left i held a knife I said “you can cut open my chest and make my white t-shirt red striped, well, I’m no James Woods in Videodrome, but I’m more hardcore than jack white” If I were an older man, would it be easier to hold my hand? Well, If I weren’t so tall I know I sound like a fool singing about being sad, and high school, but Its a pain to be young sometimes sometimes its a pain being young I hate being young sometimes sometimes i hate being young but its so much fun, its so much fun to be young sometimes being young is a lot of fun I’m sorry I assumed so much about your t-shirt

I cut down a bird's nest and put it in the grass do you think the babies know that their home wasn't meant to be so low? I try to not let people know that sometimes I'm an asshole that sometimes I try my best but I still cut down that bird's nest It's all meant to be hopeful though sometimes strange and distant yes but tomorrow won't be so low That bird doesn't need me to lift it's wings or cool it's breast but when it lifts off, I still blow well, tomorrow won't be so low

I wish I could write all over your walls Cause then in red crayon I’d scrawl “I love it all, I love it all, I love it all” I wish I could open up your doors cause then the outside air It would be yours it would be yours it would be yours” I wish I could stop wanting to be the other But theres no other light I need to cover It was in a car under rain where I felt like floating water It's so strange how it happened
9.
my bed frame is breaking and I think someone is watching underneath my door my bedroom door creaking I can see your shadow cast on that line of light does it rain this much on your side of the road when we’re going different ways or has my disconcern with the speed limit predestined me to swerve off road anyway? like when I wear a that red hat to hide my hair the parentheses around these song titles wasn’t an artistic decision It just all fell flat like my love it all fell flat like a plastic bag, I fall slowly so now sometime soon they’ll see through my cover they’ll no that like this love I can’t create a cohesive work I try from time to time but it never works so now I’ll change the POV to make sure this song isn’t known from his perspective he’ll hide this love for me or I am giving it to him to give to you yes he’s changing the point of view because when he writes in the first person it becomes the second person because all his pronouns are replace with “you” it was such a party annie, mary anne, and mary lou, it was so strange how it happened but which were you? which one are you? he tried to change the tense too he thought he could repair it all if he starts over but now he greets every stranger with “hi! how were you’s?” now he moved his head in oscillation he is looking from side to side he considered it from all angles he didn’t do well but at least he tries so now he writes in the first person something simple, like sendak or seuss it goes “you are so goddamn wonderful fantastic and in a makeshift outfit of dirty clothes from around my room I’ll search my closet for change in inconspicuous places if it’s all I have I’ll spend it on you” In car seat headrest’s first album there is a song titled “kid war” in which will toledo sings the refrain “I hate you” but overtime I sing along it comes out wrong I sing “I love you”

If the wind blew sparks from my fingertips, could i burn this whole house down? Well I’m older now, and it feels so strange, when I look in the mirror sometimes theres hair on my face well, when boys get older they become men but if I'm still a boy, well what if that? well what then? If I burn all the matches in your matchbox If I go to the store and buy more matches, will I have any light to give? Oh maryland Such a beautiful state I was only there for a minute, I don’t really know your name was it mary, Annie, Jill, Or Jane? oh maryland, someday I’ll know your name I’ve written a lot of songs a few now about maryland in the rain and the snow and the burning heat about being torn down or lifted off my feet and everyone of them in anticipation of when we’ll meet about our distance and relation or our relative location, but its all just geography If I shot light from my fingertips and that screaming, crying kid, well I kicked that shit would it be any different in good time would you look behind you see the sun and say “what shine, oh what a shine I have in my eyes!” Oh maryland Such a beautiful state I was only there for a minute, I don’t really know your name was it mary, Annie, Jill, Or Jane? oh maryland, someday I’ll know your name Now it’s an endless battle with my busted car speaker I thought I’d hide the rattle if I made my music louder but it just made the little rattle louder too I got new shades, I got new shades, I’m afraid of the day so I got new shades

I thought that’d I’d be man I thought that I’d beat my chest but when i played it all with band it came out a muddled mess when I woke up the sun was in town but after i slept through the whole afternoon he didn’t hang around In Maryland I was on my own and the morning was a short lived glow now it’s strange that I’m back in my hometown and theres so many people that I never got to know He told me he was a prophet but he looked like my dad in a baseball t-shirt, and my future in a bag I look at his side, and then before the moment passed I looked into his eyes and then I asked, “what will happen to my youthful glow?” “it was strange how it happened, and you didn’t know with your kids at your side and your head all bald wandering like a true american, in shopping malls” Could you take me back to elementary school? We wore walmart skate shoes, and heelys were cool when I didn’t ramble about the things I’d lost my childhood, our romance, or my DVDs of lost My mother once told me it’s okay to cry at 4 A.M when I stayed up and cried The next day at school I still had it in my eye “are you okay, or did you come to school high?” It was all in my head “what will happen to my youthful glow?” “it was strange how it happened, and you didn’t know with your kids at your side and your head all bald wandering like a true american, in shopping malls” Prairie home companion is off the air when I sang it aloud they didn’t care I’ve tried escape by cutting my hair when you left town I cut my hair and the jacket in my closet it’s still there “what will happen to my youthful glow?” “it was strange how it happened, and you didn’t know with your kids at your side and your head all bald wandering like a true american, in shopping malls” what will happen to my youthful glow? It’s so strange how it happens.
