Lyrics of
Twenty-Nine Palms

It's my fault, it's about time I realized
That every good thing that I have
Is a great representation of the habits that I've formed
And the people that I've thrown away
Calm my nerves, pull myself back together
With two hits of whatever I have
Forming my cryptic brand of bullshit into rhymes for other people
That I don't care about, cannot care about

I know that I wish that you'd say
It's been a while now
Since we made each other laugh since we made each other smile
And that's not the point
No that's not the point

There's this feeling that I get when I'm awake and haven't slept
That maybe this time that I dreamt of all the pain
And they're all begging me to stay but I swore that I would change
My old self, my old ways
And you said you'd find me years from now
In a bar downtown, a new life you'd hope to fit it
I guess it's true what you said that we couldn't be friends
Once you left (but I still remember you lying naked in my bed)

I know that I wish that you'd say
It's been a while now
Since we made each other laugh since we made each other smile
And that's not the point
No that's not the point

It's been a while now, it's been a while now

Well I'm done feeling useless and making up excuses
And feeling like I should be ashamed
I don't have to give you reasons, it's my adult act of treason
Against the kid I could have been, I should have been

I know that I wish that you'd say
It's been a while now
Since we made each other laugh since we made each other smile
And that's not the point
That's not the point
