Written and recorded January 25-29, 2019.

since the day you walked into my office
i have been obsessed with your muscular body
i have not been able to sleep for days
waiting for the right time to jump your bones
i am still formulating a plan for us
please don't think i'm weird
just because i keep blueprints for the bank
in my ninja suit with gear to pick the lock
and bags to bring the swag home

i'll be long gone
when you wake up
leaving no trace
only a note
giving directions
to the treasure
just don't spend it all
on plastic surgery
i have to find you
in 20 years
keep yourself away
from the IRS
keep an eye out
for the signal
we will have it all
and be invincible

but since you took all my shit and ran
i have no mercy on your thieving neurotic ass
therefore i will have to notify the cops
that you have victimized grandma x
small town folk will come down with a vengeance
when you put it that way
pass the time until i come for you
maybe i will have come to my senses by then
and let you off
come to daddy's arms

i'll be long gone
when you wake up
leaving no trace
only a note
giving directions
to the treasure
just don't spend it all
on plastic surgery
i have to find you
in 20 years
keep yourself away
from the IRS
keep an eye out
for the signal
we will have it all
and be invincible

Missing the future again
I’m showing the years and don’t know where to begin
Feeling like a living memento
With a love like ours it’s so hard not to think so
I’ve traveled ages deep
I’ve borrowed hearts when my own begged for sleep
I’ve counted blessings and counted them fast
I wish I could promise this moment would last

Riding with me and clarifying the highway
My kindred spirit from time immemorial
Disappearing from the rearview mirror
The few that still remember and the rest that don’t say so
Taken on a detour beyond what used to matter
We’re remnants brought together
Where the undiscovered country is home

Gambling on tomorrow
In a time capsule we made
Never mind what used to matter
We have only ourselves to escape

Home, a lifetime away
Complicating everything
It’s impossible to explain
How I have travelled ages deep
Hidden away in a sealed time capsule
Just like the few that still remember
And all the rest that will never say so

I’m riveted by your relentless drive
The unmistakable markings of the roads we’ve traveled
So take my life to make it happen
Just keep me unaware of it if you can

In the grip of spin control each revolution
Is here to make us wander home in this condition
Only caring for what could have been
We’ve littered the future with a time capsule we left open

Offering you hope I died but when I had no eye for
Otherworldly designs I gave you
The hunger that made me work to believe
That we could still have memories that would justify the meantime

notes:

This was recorded on the University of North Texas campus in Denton as a student project for a friend of Jon. The reason for the extreme voice level is a mystery, although poor recording students are always instilled with the idea that THE VOICE HAS TO BE HOT LET'S MAKE TOP 40 $$$
