Push a button and happy comes out
Like the sun hiding behind moving clouds
Like a perfume scent you barely catch
In the air your first love used to wear
Push a button and happy comes out
Like a breath of air when you're coming up
Sometimes it's too hard to do something else
Tapping away the day until you're emptied out
It was there and then it left I guess I'll do it again
I guess I'm lying I don't really like that
If I leave tonight I might miss out on something
So I Check it again
Check it again
Check it again
Push a button and happy comes out
Brain on autopilot, nodding off
I think I've seen this before, I don't even know anymore
I'm staring out, I'm staring past it
It was there and then it left I guess I'll do it again
I guess I'm lying I don't really like that
If I leave tonight I might miss out on something
So I Check it again
Check it again
Check it again

Selfie

Staring
Into a reflection
Maybe it’s just fiction
Baby what’s the difference
Even
When the mirror’s perfect
Words still reading backwards
Almost doesn’t matter
Your selfie’s like a mirror aiming out
Not quite what others see
But how could you tell
How could you tell
Hoping
For some sense of self
Got you tied up with the masses
All the same reaction
Bleeding
Out a little blood
Sacrifice it to the gods
You know someone's always watching
Your selfie’s like a mirror aiming out
Not quite what others see
But how could you tell
How could you tell

Lost Opportunities

Fighting with the fatigue
Last decades honoree on the marquee
Breathing like the sound
Of the tires tearing away from the wet concrete
Who thought it would happen to me
Hanging so delicately
They sent you away so long
Memories coming back like fakes
They sent you away so long
So many lost opportunities
Rules bending to break
Swelling in me like a close fitting dream
Eyes staring through the steam
Can’t shake the feeling of judgement coming
Who thought it would happen to me
Hanging so delicately
They sent you away so long
Memories coming back like fakes
They sent you away so long
So many lost opportunities

Avert a Gaze

If you only listened enough to hear
The echoes coming back all sound the same what a waste
I've been listening to the words you repeat all you say is
What a waste what a waste what a waste
I just want to say something to you
Not this other face
Putting up a version of the person that
You want to play
Look straight away
Avert a gaze
