the future is a stereo that eats your favorite tapes

the soundtrack to your youth that cannot be replaced

so hold on to every song before they disappear

your future almost here

-josh joplin group, siddhartha's of suburbia-



and it starts like this we crave to be kissed

by a moment complete in its happiness

far away from the things we wish to escape

that lead us to think we are not awake

we are ourselves despite ourselves

this place gets smaller as the universe swells

we come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually

i am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor

-josh joplin group, i am not the only cowboy-



i think therefore, i think i am

i can’t make my mind up and i can’t make you understand

how i get distracted, how i search for things to say

how i let myself get myself into my way

i love to hear you talk, it’s funny but it’s true

what gets into me must be you

what gets into me must be you



i’m always late but it’s really not my fault

time just hates me, that’s why it made me an adult

if wisdom comes with age then i haven’t got a clue

-josh joplin group, must be you-
