Semaphore We arrive midscene Desperate fists grabbing the mist of dreams The day breaks loudly all around me What could that be? New light pours in Piling up against itself across my floor And then a thought I thought I’d outrun Comes waving its semaphore It says, wake up and see the life you should lead’s behind you now Wool socks pulled high One full thermos and two souls to fortify The echo of unanswered questions Pioneers of the human mind Not too far now We crest a hill and mark a hard-won mile down Against the endless sky It's been said before, but If I had to die tonight... I’d rather wait here and see the way it could be if we pressed on The aching in my chest Against all reason was for the best Now sleeping soundly, and dreaming proudly Of what may come next

The Friends I Miss. Eric Ott I live such lonely days I sleep and watch TV all day Let the dogs out to run and play I drink too much I smoke too much I think too much about the friends I miss I live such lonely nights The moon glows a greyish white I didn't mean to start that fight I drink too much I smoke too much I think too much about the friends I miss It's been a lonely year jammed with takeout and craft beer I wish that you were here... I drink too much I smoke too much I think too much about the friends I miss I drink too much I smoke too much I think too much about the friends I miss

Bring the Light G C G D Em D C D Oh these days oh these shitty days I’m watching people walking alone here and afraid Oh these times what a freaky time I remember making plans standing in lines C D G Gb Em C D G The radiator’s hissing and I’m catching up on sleep I feel my body growing weak Endless year god it’s been so weird I’m looking straight inside all the things I’ve feared Maybe snow will sanitize the world I’m always hoping but never can be sure Washing these chapped hands I sing that birthday song I can’t believe it’s been this long Em G x3 Am C Am C G I need to get out of the house It only heightens all these doubts I’ll drive to the ocean tonight But the stars are struggling to bring… the light

Felt just like your skin That plastic hand When I held it then Mistake made again Liquid all inside Your shill invited by A broken secret ask it’s Not unlike the last I Need to take up the negative space that your body makes Don’t make me wait Lure then intimidate Can you illuminate Blurry wrinkle gone We’re not the only one Dumb birds make body counts In shocking large amounts Every time I come that’s how much say your name

Curbside pickup it's a big letdown. Going down a rabbit hole For clickable vegetables. Curbside pickup in my truck. I don't remember the pickup lines, From the Before Times. Mask up windows down, Please be careful, don't be long. Mask up windows down, Please be careful, don't be long. I'm marooned, it's almost noon. Frank, my shopper, has the order And he wants reviewed. I'm marooned, your order's ready soon. I don't remember the pickup lines From the Before Times. Mask up windows down, Please be careful, don't be long. Mask up windows down, Please be careful, don't be long. Mask up windows down, Please be careful, don't be long.

Going Down Tell me a story tell me a lie I need something I don’t know why These are some freaky ass days I’ve been pretending I’m unfazed If I’m being honest and I never am I’ve been struggling to understand What in the world happens now Feels like we’re going down
