up all night again
sleep in till 3pm
my clock so wrong
sit inside my head against the wall
hit it so hard i start to see the stars
i glitch out, know what i’m on about?
glitch out, know what i’m on about?
my---
i think that i’ll try
to never lose this time
so tired of stuck inside
so why have i spent all my time
locked up in my palace
where i was a birds’ eye princess
who has no eye
up all night again
sleep in till 3pm
my clock so wrong
sit inside my head against the wall
hit it so hard i start to see the stars
i glitch out, know what i’m on about?
glitch out, know what i’m on about?
my---
i’m not aloof, i’m out of that mind
i’m not aloof, i’m out of my mind
so let me try, baby, to be a little crazy
up all night again
sleep in till 3pm
my clock so wrong
i glitch out, know what i’m on about?
glitch out, know what i’m on about?
my clock is gone
give me what you got, my lover
i know what i need
if you give me your lover
i’ll show you where you’ll be
give me what you got, my lover
i know what i need
if you give me your lover
i’ll show you where you’ll be

ROCK BOTTOM
03:40

cut off all my hair, eyes wide open
pasting the sounds, that sweetest of untalented
pencils balancing like Robin Tunney
pencils balancing like Robin Tunney
but bite your throat like---
when it costs so much to live rock bottom
when it’s lost but you can’t be forgotten
the only way to be steady
the only way to stay ready
is be your breathless baby sweating lately
my energy is so low
we found the same diamond for a heart black and gold
we found another planet claim to be the gods among the plastic
we found the same diamond for a heart black and gold
we found another planet claim to be the gods among the plastic
pencils balancing, pencils balancing
pencils balancing like Robin Tunney
but bite your throat like Fairuza Balk
up in the air, mouth wide open
tasting the clouds, sweetest of nothing
pencil-in wings, there’s a peace near limits, don’t---
when it costs so much to live rock bottom
when it’s lost but you can’t be forgotten
the only way to be steady
the only way to stay ready
is be your breathless baby sweating lately
my energy is so low
we found the same diamond for a heart black and gold
we found another planet claim to be the gods among the plastic
and you haven’t really said it
haven’t really made it clear
when you stand on the fence
yet i haven’t regretted any of it
we found the same diamond for a heart black and gold
we found another planet claim to be the gods among the plastic
grounded, wrap my heart in thorns,
like rock bottom where the algae forms
seven empty looking up
seven empty looking up
seven empty looking up
seven empty looking up
let us talk identity, let’s think identity
i’m the princess and the pauper
i’m living among the rings of fire
and they’ll be buzzing around my bussy
my bussy, my bussy
i’m eating borax, but they’ll be buzzing
around my bussy, bussy, bussy
seven empty looking up
seven empty looking up
seven empty looking up
seven empty looking up

WICKER BAR

phonies with their carousel dreams
and time once a bright white bleach spot they didn’t clean
phonies with their white boy rap
and their dad’s favorite pink floyd track
they only listen to with other company
phony, no i don’t wanna be
phony, no i don’t wanna be
phony, no i don’t wanna be phony like you
phonies with their big trucks
and their little nuts like the peanut for a brain
phonies with their thesaurus, lack of nuance
just because you got the words
don’t mean you know what the fuck they mean
phony, no i don’t wanna be
phony, no i don’t wanna be
phony, no i don’t wanna be phony like you
phony, no i don’t wanna be
phony, no i don’t wanna be
phony, no i don’t wanna be phony like you
baby just because you got the words
don’t mean you know what you’re saying
baby just because you got the words
still don’t know what the fuck you’re saying
phony, no i don’t wanna be
phony, no i don’t wanna be
phony, no i don’t wanna be phony like you

SHAG RUG
03:26

i’ve got my heels up, my fishnets down
what a catch you were
the evening star got me shooting up
hard to live a lie, when the lie is you
hard to live a lie, when the lie is you
i’ve got my heels off, and my guard is down
if you don’t catch, i fall
and the morning star’s got me shooting up
hard to live a lie, when the lie is you
lightning in a bottle
slo-mo starfall
what a flash
venus pulls with douglas firs
touching the tar black hair on my eyes and face
down in the shag rug static imprint cheek to cheek
venus pulls with douglas firs
touching the tar black hair on my eyes and face
down in the shag rug static imprint cheek to cheek

SMACK

is that the corner again?
its a different shade
and i’m not sure what exactly it is
where i’m off my track
in a digital distortion
not sure where i’m to fit in
taking all my smack
unsure what spell i’m under
it’s exactly what they had
what exactly is that?
i find no tree to bear
fruits i’m looking for
when the hunger is here
i’m on the breakdown now
i can’t buy, no, i can’t buy
when i don’t care
there’s that corner again
and its a different color
and i’m not sure yet what exactly it means
where i’m off again
ship done sunken
unsure what i think
no i can’t buy when i don’t care
i find no tree to bear
fruits i’m looking for
when the hunger is here
i’m on the breakdown now
i can’t buy, no, i can’t buy
when i don’t care
taking all my smack
unsure what spell i’m under
it’s exactly what they had
what exactly is that?
i find no tree to bear
fruits i’m looking for
when the hunger is here
i’m on the breakdown now
i can’t buy, no, i can’t buy
when i don’t care
when i don’t care
breakdown, its been a dream
over and over and over
fruits i’m looking for
when the hunger is here
i’m on the breakdown now
i can’t buy, no, i can’t buy
when i don’t care
fruits i’m looking for
when the hunger is here
i’m on the breakdown now
i can’t buy, no, i can’t buy
when i don’t care
i find no tree to bear
fruits i’m looking for
when the hunger is here
i’m on the breakdown now
i can’t buy, no, i can’t buy
when i don’t care

kick the shoes
kick the shoes in the sheets
back to stomach, bare feet to feet
higher than before
i’m like the sunlight, you’re the cowboy
living a lie
don’t save me i want to burn
i want to burn, wanna burn, wanna burn
myspace dream
chessboard black and green
hair brushed over one eye
higher than before
im like the sunlight, you’re the king
living the lie
and i’m living to die
camel 99s about two packs a night
so many drags i’ve become a queen
female trouble serving cake living to die
don’t save me i want to burn, don’t save me i want to burn
don’t save me i want to burn, don’t save me i want to burn
don’t save me i want to burn
don’t save me i want to burn
i want to burn, i want to burn
kick the shoes, babe
back to stomach, bare feet to feet
higher than before
i’m like the sunlight, you’re the cowboy
living a lie
chessboard black and green
hair brushed over one eye
higher than before
i’m living like the sunlight
i want to burn
i want to burn

GHOST SHIP

there’s a lot of love in this house
so why am i afraid of the ghosts in my peripheral
there’s lines on the table
but i’m settling on the dab pen underneath the projector
and it can be a joke sometimes, yet
there’s a light that shines, a light that’s dimming
there’s a lot of love in this here
so why is it me to not break down when i felt like it was forever going?
but there’s a line zig-zagging the Midwest
yet i’m settling in the concrete land, the same as my dad did
and it can be a joke sometimes, yet
there’s a light that shines, a light that’s dimming
so when saturday comes
we can put a movie on
talk until we’re under
so when saturday comes
we can put a movie on
talk until we’re under
so when saturday comes
we can put a movie on
talk until we’re under
and it can be a joke sometimes, yet
there’s a light that shines, a light
there’s a lot of love in this house
so why am i afraid of the ghosts in my peripheral
there’s lines on the table
but i’m settling on the dab pen underneath the projector

SILVER OXYGEN
03:07

lightyears, lightyears
so very far, i’m on a roll
faces a blur
names a murmur
way up here
oh, silver oxygen
and you’re down there
can i give you a hand
faces a blur
names a murmur
darker clouds asunder
you’re put down, under
can i give you a hand
can i give you my hand?
years and years
faces and faces
names and names
somewhere out there
the one to hold me
tears for fears
mascara on my face
it’s the same thing
this brain here, so out there
oh, so out there
lightyears, lightyears
so very far, i’m on a roll
faces a blur
names a murmur
way up here
oh, silver oxygen
and you’re down there
can i give you a hand
faces a blur
names a murmur
darker clouds asunder
you’re put down, under
can i give you a hand
can i give you my hand?
might be later it depends on the morning
behold it steady the moonbeam is bright now
years and years, faces and faces, names and names
somewhere out the one to hold me, the one to hold me
lightyears, lightyears
so very far, i’m on a roll
faces a blur
names a murmur
way up here
oh, silver oxygen
and you’re down there
can i give you a hand
faces a blur
names a murmur
darker clouds asunder
you’re put down, under
can i give you a hand
can i give you my hand?

FOR THE WEEKEND
04:18
|

reading by the creek in my dirty laundry
got enough sun, iron ore beneath me
detached but still a part of me
garden of stone, iron ore beneath me
bird baths and figurines
detached but still a part of me
wordsmith, and music so detached
yet go on reaping
reading by the creek in my dirty laundry
with a garden of stone, iron ore beneath me
bird baths and figurines, detached yet part of me
off the onward pathway onto a rough draft yesterday
knots in my shoulder, another year older with a fabric of velvet
iron ore beneath me, bird baths and figures, detached yet
still part of me
some do it for survival
some do it for the weekend
some do it for oblivion
some do it for oblivion
some do it for the weekend
