anything about love + We just know what’s on the TV + We don’t know anything about life + We just know what we like to see + + We don’t read books + We sometimes look + But we always fall asleep + We follow trends + And lose our friends + + We don’t know anything about truth + We just know where we’re going to stand + We don’t know anything about choice + We just get movies on demand + + We don’t know how + We just fell down + From the fryer to the floor + We lost our taste + And went to waste + + Oh, we don’t know anything at all + Not the strangers down the hall + Not the numbers that we call + Oh, we don’t know anything at all + Not the date and not the year + Not the reason why we’re here + + We don’t know when to sleep or wake up + We just know when we’re out of drugs + We don’t know how to date or break up + We just communicate with shrugs + + We don’t know where + We ought to stare + When the picture’s going black + Nothing to do + No hint or clue + + We don’t know how it got to this point + We just forgot to turn the dial + We don’t know anyone in this joint + We just know we might be a while + + What good are facts? + I can’t relax + When the news is always bad + Don’t look outside + No matter what + + Friends, we don’t know anything + And by now we can’t even tell + The food in the kitchen is rotten + And so are we! + But at this point, it’s how we smell + So when you’re bored + And you’re hungry + And you’re tired + And you don’t want to go out + Well, there’s a screen in every room + And every pocket + So tune it all out, because you’re tuning in + To what we’re shoving right through your socket + + Oh, we don’t know anything at all + Why the good things feel bad + Why the music makes you sad + Oh, we don’t know anything at all + Not the right and not the wrong + Not the meaning of this song +--- +Track: Wherever We Go +Duration: '3:09' +URLs: +- https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/wherever-we-go +- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r_oulVo9nY

to do + So just name a place + I'll leave it to you + We're painting the town + Circling round + Passing through + + Oh, wherever we go, we go + Oh, whatever we know, we know + Oh, we've got such a long way to go + + Wherever we go + It's one of those days + Out in the sun + Under the haze + There's nothing to lose + Whatever we choose + Is OK + + Wherever we go + Is where I wanna be + The high and the low life + It's all fine by me + Up 'til it's late + I just wanna wait + And see + + Oh, wherever we go, we go + Oh, whatever we know, we know + Oh, we've got such a long way to go + +

tracks + I mosey round your room while you are gone + I'll be out before you're even back + + And I'm not taking anything + I'm just touching everything + The dirty dishes on your stove + The pockets in your fancy clothes + And I'm not missing anything + I'm just feeling everything + The scent of you upon your sheets + Your toothbrush against my grinning teeth + + There's nothing wrong with looking through the glass + So long as you don't see me through the blinds + I'm never bored, no matter what you do + I always want to know what's on your mind + + And I'm not taking anything + I'm just part of everything + 'Cause everything you have is shared + As long as you don't know I'm there + And I'm not missing anything + I'm just into everything + The stuff you hide beneath the bed + I wonder what's inside your head + But I'm not taking anything + I'm just seeing everything + The food you cook, the way you sleep + The jokes you laugh at on TV + And I'm not missing anything + I'm just loving everything + But now you're getting much too high + You're crashing out, I don't know why + + Your vomit is red + Oh God, are you dead? + You're falling to the floor + You can't reach the phone + You're in there alone + I'm breaking down your door + You're barely awake + Your body could break + I don't know what to do + But your car's in the back + And your key's on the rack + And now I'm holding you + + And I'm not sure of anything + But you, my dear, are everything + I'm gunning it inside your car + I'm pulling into the ER + And I'm not saying anything + 'Cause now I'm losing everything + They load you on the stretcher now + I leave the keys and bail out + + And now I'm seeing everything + But I'm not saying anything + And now I'm seeing everything + + Two weeks have gone by, and it's good to see you home + But there's bars on the windows, my cover is blown + You're locking the door, and you're closing the blinds + But I'm in the glass when your eyes meet mine +---

Remember how it used to go + With you and them and what they said + And what you're doing now instead + + Swore that you would show 'em all + And leave behind the shopping malls + And water towers and power lines + And climb as high as you can climb + + You can't go back, you're up there now + You're too far out to just come down + There's nothing left to break your fall + And you can't bear to lose it all + + Suicide Hotline + I'm supposed to care, but I don't + I see the stop sign + I should just wait there, but I won't + Suicide Hotline + It's more than I can bear + + Fake a smile, punch a clock + Haul the garbage 'round the block + Give away another year + To proving why you're hanging here + + Conversations never start + Regarding contents of your heart + Full to burst, but nothing's changed + While all the world has rearranged + + Around you in the center of + A halfway life you never loved + If you can't learn to love it now + What little's up could all come down + + Suicide Hotline + I'm supposed to care, but I don't + I see the stop sign + I should just wait there, but I won't + Suicide Hotline + It's more than I can bear + + I'm waiting for an arm to grab me + I'm looking for a net below + I don't see anybody waiting + I've got to let somebody know + + Suicide Hotline + I'm supposed to care, but I don't + I see the stop sign + I should just wait there, but I won't + Suicide Hotline + It's more than I can bear +--- +Track: Tomorrow's Gonna Come +Duration: '3:04' +URLs: +- https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/tomorrows-gonna-come +- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnVW71lwybY +Lyrics: |- + Every single day, I feel it happening + The moving of the rocks, the tremors and the shocks + Heaven only knows which way it's coming from + But tomorrow's gonna come real soon + + People all along the street + Stumble over on their feet + Always falling down and down and down + Pilots in the windy sky + Don't you ever wonder why + We keep going round and round and round? + + Every single word you say, it takes me there + I've seen it on the news, I feel it in my shoes + I won't sleep at all until the work is done + For tomorrow's gonna come real soon + + And when it comes, I will be there with my open arms + And when I feel it, I will know it can't do me harm + And when the world I know is gone, I'll be moving on + When we change + + Every single television's always on + People in the lines all listening for signs + High up on the hills, I hear the beating drums + For tomorrow's gonna come real soon + + And when it comes, I will be there with my open arms + And when I feel it, I will know it can't do me harm + And when the world I know is gone, I'll be moving on + When we change + + Every single day, I feel it happening + And if you don't believe, just look around and see + Heaven only knows which way it's coming from + But tomorrow's gonna come real soon +--- +Track: Purgatory +Duration: '5:20' +URLs: +- https://bowman.bandcamp.com/track/purgatory +- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1zvH8JiPY4 +Lyrics: |- + Oh Muses guide me, please provide me with your hallowed song + I’ve been to Hell and back, I’m losing track of the road I’m on + Help my recounting of this mountain rising in the dawn + + I’ve been traipsing every terrace up in Purgatory + Crowded by sinner’s souls stripped of every dignity + Carrying the weight of what I’ve done and all the worst of me + + I’m taking the long road + I’m starting the fire + Next time that you see me + I’ll be higher + + I see the pride, I see the envy and the anger now + I see the ones who wait, the ones who take, or just ate out + I see the lovers without love are not without a doubt + + The days are long, we walk in circles while the sun is high + We look for answers if there’s chance for us in Paradise + Heaven knows I will climb unto the stars to make things right + + Oh man, it’s easy from the outside looking in + The stairs are not so tall for those who can begin + Oh, but I’ve been looking so far out of frame + + I focus now upon my feet upon the path + I make the distance, let the step stones do the math + I know the next half of life won’t be the same + + I’m not searching for a sliver of a silver lining + I am taking what is left that I can say is mine + And if the road I’m on is long and winding + Well, you know, it’s fine + + I’ll be drinking from the river at the end of this + And know that when I look into the eyes of Beatrice + I will be purified of all that I no longer miss |
