So you see, my friends The show is never over, not really For every end is a beginning And after every nothing, there is always something Augustine, you gentle creature Am I everything you say I am? I wanted to be Did I waste my potential? Did I lose touch or sight? Through you, maybe I'll never die And I'll float in endless time Reaching out towards unloving arms As megalomania overtakes every possible outcome Was I meant to be so much more? I'll take a show of hands Yeah, That's what I'll do

And now I'm back And I feel amazing Just like I thought I would Just like I thought I would Down in her eyes You leave me to fantasize I try to relate But there's no one today Left to pretend I don't know what it is You always keep me guessing Always keep me laughing I don't know what it is The way you laugh with me It rattles the bats in the belfry I thought that I was crazy I thought that I was gone And now I'm back (Down in her eyes) And I feel amazing (You leave me to fantasize) Just like I thought I would (I try to relate) Just like I thought I would (But there's no one today) Left to pretend You always keep me guessing Always keep me laughing I don't know what it is The way you laugh with me It rattles the bats in the belfry I thought that I was crazy I thought that I was gone (We'll see how that goes)

Look at her, my audience So beautiful in every lighting She's so patient, but she doesn't have to be She watches me try to please People that aren't looking Yet she stays by Her discipline is so admirable She can do anything she dreams of And then there's me Sitting myself on a carving board Just like Berman told me Waiting for you to notice Please, just look at me Just listen to me Stay with me a little longer You know nothing lights me up like a stranger But I owe everything to her On the carving board On the carving board (Going in circles In this kind of weather, it makes you feel like going in circles From the beginning again I got a feeling, this time I'll win) On the carving board On the carving board I'm insatiable On the carving board So relatable On the carving board Make them love you more I go overboard I go overboard (Thank you)

// Show Me The Shoes August I have waited and waited For you to see me For me to be anything I might be something, now Do you feel me there? In the quiet night Do you feel my voice On the back of your neck? Do you remember my dreams That I spoke to you in secret? Can you tell me a story? Tonight, just to help me fall asleep I just need to rest my eyes A workshop in South Carolina You tell me about your new friends They sound wonderful I take a few steps through the hydrofield And I cry out to any warm body A noise like that should echo and reverberate But it didn't All sound ceased And years ago in the schoolyard Children screaming "there's a condom in the grass" We peered at a relic of another state of being And laughed at the absurdity Getting older seemed so impossible then It still does How do I do it How do I do it How do I make you see me How do I make you see me How do I make you see that I bleed I'm a person and I bleed I'm a real person and I bleed And it's all for you It's all for you I bleed and it's all for you It's all for you I bleed and it's all for you No matter what I win No matter what I lose I'm grateful for this I'm grateful for you But I bleed for you I BLEED FOR YOU- I worried For so long Oh I worried what you would think of me My prized pig And even after No Return You came to my first show And stayed the whole night My friends and family Me and Michael What ever have I done To deserve people like this // In a Sea of Grifters In a sea of grifters I've gotta sell my way out Oh, in a sea of grifters I've gotta peddle my way out

A pound of flesh for Mr Keyes Unlike everyone before me Could I be so lucky? (Explode into the sky) Softly and sweetly As much as I'm able I call on my friends The streams keep me stable Pushing everyone away (Brother, do you love me?) I need to be okay We've all got priorities How long until I'm not yours? (Ready when you are) Focusing on families, our careers Oh, tell me Taylor How long until I die? And you lose all your friends

about

This EP is an epilogue to my last album Performance of a Lifetime. It expands on a lot of the same themes of my journey with artistry and using it as a means to connect with others.
