Keep It Going

Three friends trying something different
Making noise with a side of hope
Three friends feeling kind of different
Carry on 'til it falls apart, yeah
Yeah, Yeah
Keep It Going
Yeah, Yeah
Keep It Going
Started out just being helpful
Grew in ways we could never have known
Felt good just being helpful
Turns out there was truly something more to live for
Yeah, Yeah
Keep It Going
Yeah, Yeah
Keep It Going
We pulled our resources
We tried a lot of new things
It felt so creative
We reached out for help
And there was plenty around
Such a simple idea
Almost middle-aged
But like a child we'd found
Something good and so damn true
We had to keep around
But things don't always go
The way you thought they would
That's just the way it is
We didn't know it would be
We may not even know it now
People break up
Kiss and make up
Use their luck up
Moving forward
We will be here
When you're ready
Yeah, Yeah
Keep It Going
Yeah, Yeah
Keep It Going

Doing The Work
02:38

I got spreadsheets to track my spreadsheets
A thousand things left to do
I'm gonna craft the most beautiful email
To craftily be ignored by you
I'm just doing the work
I need art that will knock you senseless
So you will know where to go
I gotta book fifteen months in advance
So you don't end up at some other show
Gettin' down on myself for trying
Keep thinking "What's the use?"
Something sparks up and guides me forward
How can I grow without all the self-abuse?
Been working for so long
We don't even know why we do
Been working for someone else
Is it me is it you?
Been working for so damn long
We don't even know why we do
Been working for someone else
It isn't me

Listen In

I've been texting all day, been checking my status
Is anybody lapping up the shit I'm laying down?
Connecting so much I'm feeling isolated
Ground control to anybody listening
Ground control to anybody listening
Listen In
What can I say to make you feel the way I feel?
To make you care the way I care?
To make you feel this deep despair?
What can I type to make me feel so validated
That I could bury this phone in the hole in my chest
And cancel my accounts?
Listen In
I'm gonna spend another anxious ninety days
Forgetting to ask for help
Trying to do it all myself
I'm gonna spend another bunch of human years
Stuck in my brain and never listening
Listening

Holding Pattern
02:42
|

Sometimes the board stands still
The pieces barely change
Sometimes you're focused on
That final move that feels so far
I've been waiting around all these years
Sometimes it wears me down
Holding on to some kind of faith, yeah
Sometimes you're blinded by
The need to move ahead
Sometimes you hope so hard
Your brain explodes, your heart is gone
I've been wading around all these fears
Not gonna let it tear me down
I need that positive creep
I need that positive creep, right now
WAIT WAIT

Better Without You
02:20
|
|||
A common struggle
To do the right thing
Why we competing?
Mindless
Let's help each other
Here's a reminder
We'll build a better
Future
Don't let service blind you
Don't let virtue bind you
Sometimes others guide you
If you just let them assist
Not gonna believe
That I'm better alone
Better without you
I'm gonna need
Someone there to reach out
There to want me
You think you're better alone
Think you can do it better
They'll only get in the way
They're gonna get all the credit
That doesn't make any sense
I mean, the needs are endless
What we can do is boundless
Sticks, stones
Fighting with our phones
Gotta prove I'm good enough
So everyone can fuck off
Twigs, rocks
Chasing all our clocks
Gotta prove I'm good enough
So everyone can fuck off
Not gonna believe
That I'm better alone
Better without you
I'm gonna need
Someone there to reach out
There to want me too
