WORDS BY JOSH THOMAS

PAIN PILLS

wake up to pain pills
do you think waiting will fill anything?
wake up to faint hills
it's an empty gesture to myself 
i didn't mean for you to see.

if i ever see you again
i realize i should apologize.

wake up, i'm still ill
all my symptoms have become 
too much to believe
can i get more pills?
you're useless to me 
until you produce the goods.

if i ever see you again
i realize i should apologize.




MY KINGDOM FOR A CLOUD

driving into the sunset, 
everything turns white 
from the constant reflections, 
the indians go blind,
my kingdom for a cloud. 

a long way the wrong way, 
everything's too bright, 
if i close my eyes tight, 
the sun's still in my mind, 
my kingdom for a cloud.



THE SUN IS MY BEST FRIEND

the sun is my best friend
bright lights are mirrors that never end
please don't tell me about your local deity
and his impressive parking lots
you sound impressed, i'm not
because i've heard it all a lot.

the shade is lost on us
no use for mirrors, no sign of friends
please don't tell me about your newest enemy
and his impressive parking lots
you sound impressed, i'm not
because i've heard it all a lot.

ALLAH, I'VE BEEN TOUCHED

allah.
allah, i've been touched.
