Losing My Mind

You can still come over if you want to
I can still remember the play by play
They told me I got too old and I'm out of my element
I took a little too long thinking what to say
Now I wonder if you really meant it
When you said you'd stay here rain or shine
The train is getting closer, can I count on you now?
If I'm your medication, will you be mine?
The train pulled away, now I'm stuck here in the rain and I'm
Losing my mind
Heart and soul or brain? You can label me insane, cause I'm
Losing my mind
Every time you cry, I start to panic
Nothing I can do to prevent the fall
We waited over twenty years to sing along to this heartbreak
Before this yearning, there's nothing I recall, but I recall
Sitting at the bar, don't know who I am or where you are, and I'm
Losing my mind
A little bit withdrawn, somehow time still moves along, as I'm
Losing my mind
You can roll over if you want to, you can give up and get left behind
Living in my fears, I've reduced my eyes to tears, and I'm
Losing my mind
Waiting here in vain, the tempo slow and the lyrics tame, and I'm
Losing my mind

Generation Gap

Did you see her there at the march? Did you follow me here?
Are you working? Gotta fund the fight
Did you hear the words of the chants? Did you open your heart?
Can you feel my fear that we'll lose the light?
We're alright, but I fear we're standing still in the cross hairs from the treetops
Now we're under attack! Generation gap
And they're taking it back, generation gap
When they took your name down and rearranged your face
You were strong and you were feminine, you were shining bright
And we smiled so smug when you ripped that sign off the pole
Then they knocked the wind right out of us later that night
We're alright, but I fear we're standing still in the cross hairs from the treetops
Now we're under attack! Generation gap
And they're taking it back, generation gap
Normalized white riots, as if we ever had mass appeal
Got a history, want a clean slate, under pressure, got a lot on our plate
Taking time, wasting my time, draw the line, crossing the line
Now I need your love more than ever, will you watch me wake up?
I'm trying not to lose sight
We're alright!

One Of Them

You know the blizzard when I left the store closed?
Well, that changed me
I got away, had a little bit of coffee, saw my family and said
I think everybody should give everybody everything all of the time
Come here, look in my eyes and tell me I'm crazy
You got your pride, but I fear you're too suspicious of the wrong side
You got your pride, but I fear you're too suspicious of the wrong side
And then you found that you had a skill to sell, and stopped driving the graveyard shift
Parted ways with your commie manifesto, and tried not to pick a side of the rift
All your different dreams you had a leg up, don't wanna sulk it's such a waste of time
You kick and scream or you submit to your genetics when white lies are truth to white minds
You got your pride, but I fear you're too suspicious of the wrong side
You got your pride, but I fear you're too suspicious of the wrong side
I swear I care, I'm not one of them
I swear I care, I'm not one of them
Don't wanna hide inside a bleeding heart costume
Don't wanna monetize PC credentials
I swear I care I'm not one of those fascists
Don't wanna drink my freedom from a fish bowl
I still believe you can find your passion, cause empathy saved me
Won't you come back into existence

Empathy
04:32

B.O.R.E.D. - am I too old to be? Am I lazy or do I have anxiety?
Am I retreating inward? Am I under siege? Am I American values? Am I overseas?
Am I collected calm cool leadership?
Am I in over my head? Am I up to my knees? Do I need some prescription apathy?
Can I bail on the group? Do they need an excuse? Can I use the flu? Am I as sick as you?
Am I the only one who can't muster it?
When you feel it slipping away, and you feel it crashing down
I'll be the empathy inside your heart
I'll be the empathy inside your home
And you won't get around me
Am I being emphatic or am I being mean? Am I a burnout or is it medicinal weed?
Is it creeping up? Is it creeping me out? Am I lost in the woods? Am I lost in the crowd?
Am I collected calm cool leadership?
Is it a push and pull? A spark that drags me out? Do I need the approval? Do I need the doubt?
Does it overwhelm? Does it paralyze? Does it look at your soul? Does it look in your eyes?
Am I the only one that can't muster it?
When you feel it slipping away, and you feel it crashing down
I'll be the empathy inside your heart
I'll be the empathy inside your home
And you won't get around me
Empathy is lacking in our conversation
I know you got it on the tip of your tongue
Empathy is lacking in our larger dialogue
Everyone is looking out for number one
