I moved to Phnom Penh in early December of 2014. This was the first thing I wrote upon arriving.

The Warden

When will the Warden learn?
We can just sing at night
All they want is what we have
All they want is to be singing

Oh yeah, you too?
02:51
|

|
Let's get together
Let's talk about death
How it doesn't happen
And how we all live forever
Let's get together
Let's talk about wealth
How it doesn't matter
And how it won't live forever
Oh yeah? You too? I thought I was the only one?

It's Over
02:39
|

|
As they left they said that it was over from what they've seen
As they left they said that it was over
It only took a moment to ascertain what it all means
It only took a moment to understand
They all shook their heads in collective saddened disbelief
Then they left convinced that it was over
Not a word was spoken on the way home
Not a word was uttered between the three
They all new what each other was thinking
They all new it's the worst they've ever seen

The way down
02:56
|
|||
|
Come along, take the way down
You can hold the rails
You can sing your sad song
And nobody will care
Everyone wants to be there
But nobody ever goes
Everyone says they'll get there
But nobody ever shows
So come along, take the way down
You can hold the rails
You can play your new songs
And nobody will care
Everyone wants to be there
But nobody ever goes
How come no one gets there?
I think I know

Don't expect too much
03:21
|
|||
|
Don't expect too much
Still try, but don't expect too much
The only constant, remains change
So don't expect too much
Often people, are the same
So don't expect too much
Get along with the weather wherever you are
Live along with whoever wherever you are

Clueless
02:03
|
|||
|
You can wait till the morning
before you decide what you wanna do
Cause sure enough when the evening arrives
You will realize you haven't got a clue
You can tell them you love them
if that's what you think you really aught to do
But someday soon you just might realize
that the moment got the better of you

I wanna know what scares you
I wanna know what tears you apart
I wanna see you at your worst
I wanna know just when it hurts
Not just only when you feel good
I wanna know what haunts you
I wanna know what heavies your heart
I wanna see you at your worst
I wanna know just when it hurts
So I can be there when you feel good

Optimism?
03:13
|
|||
|
It's fucking hot
It's fucking humid
No one writes their own songs anymore
Everything is stupid
There's no time for optimism, when you're lying on the floor
You can't sell me optimism, when death's at the door
Like it or not, this is how I'm feeling
Look I'm not of this mind all the time
But c'mon, who are we kidding?
|

No going back
03:35
|
|||
|
There's no going back
There's no going back now
You've been there before
You've played everywhere
There's nothing but despair
There's no going back now
There's no going back now
You've loved them before
You've played everywhere
There's nothing but despair
There's no going back
There's no going back now
Don't even think about it

Nice enough
03:42
|
|||
|
I had trouble walkin'
I had trouble talkin'
I could barely breathe
I had trouble sleeping
trouble believing
Is this really me?
Let me be clear
I chose to be here
Still I can't believe
Is this really me?
But the city seems nice enough
And I like my jobs enough
I had trouble thinking
trouble comprehending
why it has to be
so awkwardly
No one seems at ease
Can't you feel the breeze?
It doesn't have to be
So awkwardly
But the city seems nice enough
And besides I fell in love
|

If you have a say
01:35
|
|||
|
I fell for some superficial reason
And almost lost my way
It's a long road
But it's worth the stitches
If you have a say
I fell for some superstitious reason
And almost lost my way
It's a hard road
But it's worth the stitches
If you have a say
