Odyssey 05:50
Enjoy your Odyssey and don’t for get to write to me Take photos of everything you love, Memories worth while to keep holding on to Enjoy your Odyssey if you feel the need to get me something, Bring back a view one that stuck with you Painted vividly, as if I were right there with you Send me your menacing madness and misery, Don't send me home until I’m shook. I can’t tell if you are serious or just dark, but I like that you still find it fun that after years of us sitting here mocking the regulars, we’ve become them and it feels so empty here I just thought that there’d be more Odysseys in foreign cars to strange places after dark were the only times I felt at home Where do you see yourself when you finally leave yourself? I don’t know, that seems so far from now. Do we love because we need to be told we’re good company? Because it seems to me  we’ve both become boring How could you love anything while you’re holding out for something more? I thought that I was bad enough to hope to make it with you, but you’ve been really beating up on my heart and its a shame that I can’t stand to see you lonely or with other people and its a shame that I can’t move on Good morning, sweet Odyssey Forever cursed to always answer your call Good morning, sweet Odyssey I’ll be sure to lock the door behind you when you go

Once again, here I am everyone’s staring at me because I thought in this stall  I’d get some privacy Is it hot in here or is it just me? Oh I want to keep up,  but somethings happening to me... Once again, here I am I can’t hold down anything but I don’t care,  broke is in when you have everything. My friends take me outside, said some air’s what I need and when we opened the door something happened to me… When we get to my room and you start staring at me, waiting for me to move toward you provocatively These dances with certain strangers sure used to be my thing, but lately it feels like something’s happened to me... Once again,  here I am burnt out on trashing things that I like, that I loath now I know its phony Though I try to dress well,  what I wear’s out of style so I look like a dick and thats why you all smile  but its cool… Outsiders are the middle the ends are on top I forgot all of our safe words  when we jerk ourselves off Where’s the joy in being shallow? Because its been lost on me You don’t take me nowhere because there’s nowhere to be I can’t keep up with post modernity and I feel like that should scare the shit out of me. Tell me, what side of irony is the ‘cool’ place to be? and does anyone here know  What's happening to me?

I’m still young Though old in mind Out to make sense of an average life If I told you all the things I think I’m sure you’d lose my number My god you’re so easy on the eyes You’re terrible at hiding it, that you are mad like me and weirdly I find that comforting Im gushing over you cuz I dig your taste in tunes I went through all your CDR’s  titled XOXO in red ink and all I want from you is more to listen to  next time we meet to make me feel like you’re here with me in High Fidelity in High Fidelity Apart we are whole,  Together we’re shapeless. My Beatrice Divine, a power much greater than I Until we become united through patience  Jack White’s your God, you’re my Saint Mary I’ll rush through hellish flames awaiting me on lip marked sleeves of Bowie-era Iggy

Ghosts 04:36
I'm riding vicious waves of loving and hating you,  its something new  I'm only human, after all  I felt my chest stop beating  When you passed right through me  I guess I knew, what could I do?  You had your mind made up  (Hey, Hey, Hey)  Your only problem is that you're terrified  (So am I)  You're only calling 'cause your guilty for lying  for wasting both of our time  so you think that you would sleep better  if you knew I was standing by.  Your honeymoons with someone else  will come up short until you love yourself,  the future ain't what it used to be  and you and me gotta get used to being better off alone  You would be surprised  how long I've been torturing myself keeping tabs on you, baby.  I almost wish there was someone else  so I could make you an enemy  because I'm having problems letting go  (I said goodbye)  You never call when I am just on your mind  (I don't have time)  You're only calling 'cause your guilty for lying  for wasting both of our time  so you think that you would sleep better  if you knew I was standing by.  Your honeymoons with someone else  will come up short until you love yourself,  the future ain't what it used to be  and you and me gotta get used to being better off alone

Its been far too quiet in the sprawls of suburbia Its been too good here for far too long Mr. Henley next door has been acting kinda funny and the families down the street  have been locking up their doors when we pass by Whats got them acting this way? Oh you must have seen it on the news… Surely you’re not okay, Oh you must have got the memo We’re in a State of Emergency, You cant be too careful… Watch what you’re saying and who you’ve been saying it to, Secrets come in short supply these days and everyone has it out for you What’s your family been saying about you when you’re not around? Is all of it pleasant?  Or would some of it confirm what you already think about yourself? State of Emergency, You can’t be too careful…

(30) 04:46
When they come for the body tell them I had it coming Oh I used to look too damn good in black and white, until the colors started running Where are all my heroes now?  What am I to do? The lights came up on my youth  and the DJ says she’s through I think we let our parents down, because we’re not out there being astronauts I thought we would be though,  I thought we would be by now… 30's the new dead In my will there’s only pennies and regret 30's the new dead Or at least that's what I’m told, but I don’t feel all that old What if the cake has been a lie made to keep us hungry? While we’re living in the shadows of our sisters making money in the valley Always working to keep up,  but always end up burning out before you know it 28’s here and we’re the last gang in town Because 30’s the new dead in my will there’s only pennies and regret 30’s the new dead Or at least that’s what I was told,  but I don’t feel all the old just yet. We will start to couple up and we’ll hang out few and far between Because our others don’t like  people like the old you and me and they’re right to, probably. But from time to time the stars align  I will catch you on the town some night and they’ll have to tolerate us both  as you and I party like 30’s the new dead and we don’t wanna die alone 30’s the new dead and its coming up quick only when we’ve just begun to get the hang of all this… 30’s the new dead and we’re not gonna die alone.
