Kickin' Rocks // Lyrics by Kiernan McMullan and Rico Sisney
The world is definitely getting smaller but everybody still seems so far away.
I know I can talk to you whenever I want but honestly I'd rather see your face.
It's amazing the amount of people we completely look past everyday.
Like every other hurdle, I'm gonna get over this I hope that you won't hold it against me.
I'm kickin' rocks, moving on to a place where the distance stays at bay.
Fill my face with smoke, they tell me it's a joke and at the same time "it's all a phase".
I hit a roadblock where the goal stopped being right in front of my face.
I'm kickin' rocks, I need to escape.
Ever feel like, we're on our own islands, plane crash and we're the lone pilots, can't escape back home and no one finds us; my life is so much like this.
It differs only slightly. I write these same thoughts on my cave wall and then someone likes it. Alone but not so private.
Eyelids taped open, old bodies with chains on 'em. The shadow on the wall; the only thing that changed moment to moment.
Don't it sound familiar? Don't it sound familiar? We scream as loud as we want and no one's bound to hear us.
I ain't found a cure for it but I've found that we're all cut from the same cloth. This means that we ain't lost so cheer up.
What I tell to myself, when held in my cell. The truth is seldom revealed that I am as well as I feel.
I ride the trains and walk the streets, see all of these people on their way. They don't really seem to notice me. Just wanna be noticed.
Hopefully, that's just our conditioning. Given a chance of getting in. Getting past these differences and start listening.
I'm gettin kind of angry, never see my family, way too close to everyone i meet to just bury the idea that this is not good enough to hold my trust and look past all of our rough edges. She was always crying out for attention without ever going outside.
Said he wants more but he just got high.You rate your life, turns out he beats his wife.
You drink your stress like a liquid knife.
I'm trying to mend, trying to vent, just acrue some cents of wealth, some sense of self, god where did we go and lose ourselves again.
Moving on to a place where the distance stays at bay.
Fill my face with smoke, they tell me it's a joke and at the same time it's all a phase.
I hit a road block where the goal stopped being right in front of my face.
I'm kickin' rocks. I just need to get away.

There may come a time, in your life, when you may have to realize, you're not quite the man you thought youd be.
Taking her time. Took her for granted. Livin' your life like you understand it.
Disingenuous poetry.
So what about when you're covered in a armour and you need to breathe?
I'm not saying I'm not here to harm you, I just cannot leave.
It's getting cold outside. When did I become part of your life?
I never loved you, I just needed the company.
She spoke forever, what a thought. To stop it all and focus everything you've got.
On a life your hearts not in, a love full of bitterness.
I'm sorry to have to do this but it's goodbye once again
So what about when you're covered in a armour and you need to breathe?
I'm not saying I'm not here to harm you, I just cannot leave.
It's getting cold outside. When did I become part of your life?
I never loved you, I just needed the company.
Please just try to understand where I'm coming from. I know that this won't change a thing.
You should know, that when I'd lost all hope you made me happy. Shouldn't that stand for something?
What about when you're covered in armor and you need to breathe.
I'm not saying I'm not here to harm you, I just cannot leave.
It's getting cold outside. When did I become part of your life.
I never loved you please, I just needed the company.
Intermission
It's sinking in, a little complicated. I can't get you off my mind again.
Way too old and far too jaded to let it pull me in.
Who better than me to have to tell you that this may not work out?
I'll give you a minute to think about it. Let it be our intermission.
We jumped right in thinking true happiness was in the same place that our hearts were then
What started off with no doubt became a phase we'd live again.
Like a broken bottle on a drunken night, we moved back out to the ocean.
I'll give you a minute to think about it. Let it be our intermission.
If all it takes is a call or two at 4am when my voice is filled with alcohol. Please come over.
Why do we do this too ourselves? Is it impossible too imagine?
That one day maybe it'll all work out. RIght now it feels a lot like crashing.
So here we are. Apparently we're wiser, but we're still making the same mistakes.
Until I start to remember exactly what it was that made it go away.
Focus in just to turn and run. You'll probably need it when the lights go out.
Is this the end? The big finale? Is it stupid to be hopeful now?
That this is just an intermission?
You Had To Leave Me
I tell myself that everything will turn around. But before it goes full circle it always seems to hit the ground.
I've found that it's ok, so I just chased her away and then I made no sound.
You had to leave me.
Living on your words.
Trying to recall your face in another city
You had to leave but it wasn't my choice at all
God how I wish I could take you with, take you with me.
After seeing it through your eyes I'm surprised you're still content to let me keep a piece of you with such confidence.
While love may come and go, I'll tell you right now I hope that it's you gripping my fingers at the end, but for now
You had to leave me.
Living on your words.
Trying to recall your face in another city
You had to leave but it wasn't my choice at all
God how I wish I could take you with, take you with me.
Realize that we just have learn from this and be happy that we never really had to hurt from it.
It still kills me to say
You had to leave me.
Living on your words.
Trying to recall your face in another city
You had to leave but it wasn't my choice at all
God how I wish I could take you with, take you with me.
All The Same
People talk but they don't listen.
People walk around but they're missing the point of why we're really here.
Whether it's pot love or religion, seems like none of us are getting high enough to see it clear.
I'm not saying that I've given up on asking. I'm just fixed to quit and let it go.
Worked way too hard to be ok, not really taking in the gravity of not understanding any of this at all.
We both know I'm not gonna love you forever, but I like the idea all the same.
We both think that we could do a little better, so let's cut our losses and call it a day.
ok.
Sometimes it feels like the only love I get is from all of the passerby can't remembers and I forgets.
Do you even recall when we met?
No not really but I'm pretty sure that I'll get over it.
I've made mistakes that cost me money. I've made mistakes that cost me friends.
But it's the most entertaining way to leave with nothing in the end.
I'm sorry if I didn't hear you. Probably wasn't listening.
