1.
Undefined selfish possessions What a sacrifice to soothe a bitter man Existence draped in circumstance Loaded prayers, the burden of strength I thank you for your words but can’t recall your face Let alone your name Tired tracks still mark a trail It’s Thursday, write it down Boorish broken knuckles brooding Won’t make something profound Speak out both sides of your mouth I swear I know you but I’m starting to have doubts Wait, what’s today? If it’s not one thing it’s another Be it partner or my mother I’m asking you to understand I cannot quite make out Such dandelion whims No sense in treading water When we both know how to swim I don’t want to be alone But I want to be alone I’m having such a hard time I don’t want to be alone But I want to be alone I just can’t make up my mind It’s grief, it’s shame, it’s solitude It’s homemade and it’s fucking rude It’s feeling like a blood clot Tone it down, we’re innocent The only thing we’re guilty of Is that this life is hard-fought
2.
I don't wanna burn for your old bitch lover I'm not gonna run cause there ain't no other Leave your mask on Cause i'm not gonna kiss ya Get my leaf blower and i'll Blow you away Girl i won't kiss and tell This number is a sign Open my secret hell All the things that must pass This number is alright Here's my foot on your ass I don't wanna crave Here's a lot of jazz I don't wanna leave this bed sheets and covers A monument of hate Against the right side A monument of hate Against the left side
3.
Every day’s the same thing Just a choice of what to wear I don’t seem to fit the pattern So now my voice wastes the air And I fought 40-hour hangovers And fucked off just to be In control of my emotions Marked by the number of the beast Yet you don’t see my horns Quite like I do, I’m doomed Who knew, despite the proof that you Love this bitter, anxious fool The god of god, of everything Doesn’t even pull the strings Puny corporate superstars Worship in their piss-stained jeans I feel my hips are grinding down my ribs My organs left adrift The owl in my speaker’s speaking But I can’t make out what’s been said No, not quite yet but I’m sure I’ll catch the drift real soon How long have we been inside this room? Not sure, but we’ll catch the drift real soon How long have we been inside this room? My vocal cords feel out of tune
4.
Got beat on till I'm dead The broozed kids really wanna fight em Got drunk by these machines They love,cheat, steal Every silver lining Motherfucker There's riots in the streets The cops walking their beat In summer vibes Got rid of this old shame Beautiful as a rock In a coppers maze Take a little ride One horse got released Jael, Maggie, Sadie You will see
5.
I saw you were home So I drove a bit more To finish up my thought And settle the score Inside my head, inside my head Inside my head, inside my head Inside my head, inside my head We called for action You gave us a monologue A tourniquet of prayers For a head that’s sawed-off A child in orthopedic shoes Boasting his masturbatory blues I reminisce with bitter fondness Ain’t that just a ruse I flex the muscles in my neck Try to feign some self-respect Through this pressure in my chest That’s begging me to rest I’m a child lost in the woods Climbing trees but I’m no good I say I’m scared of heights But I’m more scared of falling
6.
Like she said Think I better Staying at home is alright Got my juices I can tell ya The enemy is soft inside Dog walked Pain blocked Got money to spend One of these days i will get a letter from a girl In a rock n roll band I will not follow da police Ill ring their bell if you please Pick on the bully of men Right outside my house There's a parked black van
7.
With the mounds of books you’ve read And all that knowledge that you’ve learned It doesn’t mean that you’re a scholar It doesn’t mean you have the answers No, it’s simply your opinion Though you state it as a fact In the face of opposition You fell short and on your back I don’t care about your schooling No, I have questions all my own You can say all the words you want But I still need to find a home Where I can lay my head to rest And where I always look my best All this self-pity that I own Is getting old, it’s gotten old When I finally saw your skin It was uglier than homemade sin So as you float down that river Nile I’ll pray to god, I hope it saves you all the while We’ll start with mounds of dirt As we slowly stoke this fire We’ll work into the night Or until we tire Yeah, we’ll build upon this tower Piece by piece Oh my god, you know I’m trying And I’ve been begging for some peace I could spin a tale like spiderwebs To make you all impressed I guess I, I just impress myself With how well I get depressed And I swear I know your son Though we’ve never shaken hands God, I hope that will be good enough To save me in the end When I finally saw your skin It was uglier than homemade sin So as you float down the river Nile I’ll pray to god, I hope it saves you all the while When I finally saw my skin It was uglier than homemade sin
8.
Wait another minute I'm not ready to go on I'm sick, wanna go to bed instead Rattling drums Smoke a lot of cigarettes Get drunk and now it's time to hit it I bet you don't love me anymore Look at all the cool kids How did D Boon do this? I wanna do it too The dude from APTBS sees this Apocalyptic mess, oh shit I bet you don't love me anymore
9.
Johnny be good You've got crystal hands Johnny be nice Hope to see you home for tonight See me hopelessly crying Try not to start a new riot Gotta live up to my name And be a strong kid floating in space Johnny be good Be a big strong man I dream I would buy you A mountain of this mess See me hopelessly crying Try not to start a new riot Gotta live up to my name And be a strong kid floating in space Someday i wanna come knocking Hope you made it through this life And we'll say fuck it
10.
Do you think about dying? Do you think about how cold heaven could be? Do you think about the long lines? Do you think about the love you might leave? Do you wonder how we got here? Do you frankly just not give a shit? Do you think about Jesus? Have you not come to terms with him yet? I know I do things wrong I know I do things wrong Can I ask you please to stay here? Can I ask you to stop waking me up? Can I ask you just to love me? Can I ask you to back the fuck up? Come over, play a board game And watch me as I get way too drunk Count my friends out on my fingers As the shower water loosens me up I know I do things wrong I know I do things wrong I know I do things wrong You know I do things wrong
