do you feel like i do
in a forever war
with the ones that you care for
when you take what you need
in survival mode
death to us all as long as you got a home
but i leave mine
a better track
cuz i feel sometimes
i don't have the expenses for that
so i leave into the club of my mind
so i leave into the club of my mind
dancing barefoot on the dancefloor made of legos
moonwalk barefoot across the dancefloor
stepping on legos
stepping on legos
do you stare at the walls
in the deepest dark
with the one you love beside you
when you feel all the weeds
coming from the sheets
wrapping everything in you in a cocoon
but i leave mine
a better drag
cuz i feel sometimes
i don't have the expenses for that
so i leave into the club of my mind
so i leave into the club of my mind
dancing barefoot on the dancefloor made of legos
moonwalk barefoot across the dancefloor
stepping on legos
stepping on legos
making that cash, making it fast
pinch every cent
making that cash, making it fast
pinching it all so i can see another day
making that cash, making it fast
making that cash, making it fast
pinch every cent
making that cash, making it fast
pinching it all so--
i leave mine
a better track
cuz i feel sometimes
i don't have the expenses for that
so i leave into the club of my mind
so i leave into the club of my mind
dancing barefoot on the dancefloor made of legos
moonwalk barefoot across the dancefloor
stepping on legos
(do you feel like i do)
stepping on legos
(do you feel like i do)

Give Up
03:10
|

throw another in the trash bin
start another, ctrl-n
gotta look ahead, but only some
when you go back you’re wasting ‘em
ooh, something’s gotta give
(i’ve been around too much shit)
give in, give in, give in, give up
here we go to fly
butterflies in the stomach
too much control on the outset
identity formed like clay
from those who don’t share that value
too much control on the outset
i can’t give into it
shit is so contradictory
it can be too much, drive you crazy
ooh, something’s gotta give
(i’ve been around too much shit)
give in, give in, give in, give up
(fuck it all)
here we go to fly
butterflies in the stomach
here we go to fly
butterflies in the stomach
here we go to fly
butterflies in the stomach
butterflies in the stomach
(give in, give in, give in, give up)
where we go to die
(give up, give up)

crestfallen and broken breast
i feel a full shadow
i see a spur digging
snails on the rocks and it's low tide and
there's diamonds in the ocean
but if there's a moth winging out over the waves
in the sunlight there's
two spiders meet on a rock but
they're the same anyhow so...
it's all so still here I...
little waves spill over little rocks
you can peel off mica from the rocks
as it shines like smooth silver
but you know there's more than this
‘cause you can see the boats sailing
and the gulls fly by fishing
and there's a lighthouse in the distance, but...
it's all so quiet that..
why disturb the silence so
go away in the moonlight and
bring back a starfish
settle back easy and
make up your mind to stay
i’ve earned a fortune and
there's not much more to say
i’m livin' easy
as smooth as silk these days
i see that you're fearful
but if there's a moth winging out over the waves
in the sunlight there's
two spiders meet on a rock but
they're the same anyhow so...
it's all so still here I...
little waves spill over little rocks
you can peel off mica from the rocks
as it shines like smooth silver
haven't changed your ways
settle back easy and
make up your mind to stay
the country's cleaner and
i’ve earned a fortune and
you don't have to pay
just settle back easy and
make up your mind to stay

two story yellow house evil in the wood
dance in a seance to Power Rangers and gospel tunes
five years old and i’d been told
a witch’s ghost wanders this living room
rocks me to sleep in a Madonna pose
sings a lullaby that no one can repeat
and daylight makes her a vagabond that no one can see
and a fag’s best friend is the mother
lightning comes through with sounds of thunder
it’s all that was needed to grow underneath
watered by the gardener, my mother’s mother
who are you
who are you using humor to cope with hurt
sarcasm to cope with the world
who are you
who are you use words to cope with the change
an intensity that prevents as the flood
when everything is just a stagnant creek
tar lines pattern your broken wings just like these veins
an intensity that prevents you as a flood
when really you’re just a stagnant creek
trailer park, top bunk evil in the window
men with tails and serpent tongues slurring gospel cues
five years old and i’ve been told
nightmare fuel can sometimes feel so true
a pack of cigarettes that i cling to
camel standing with the pyramids in view
Dr. Mario score makes it all a movie scene nobody but you can see
a fag’s best friend is the mother
lightning comes on through with the thunder
it’s all that you need to grow underneath
watered by the gardener, my mother’s mother
who are you
who are you using humor to cope with hurt
sarcasm to cope with the world
who are you
who are you use words to cope with the change
an intensity that prevents as the flood
when everything is just a stagnant creek
tar lines pattern your broken wings just like these veins
an intensity that prevents you as a flood
when really you’re just a stagnant creek
a fag’s best friend is the mother
a fag’s best friend is the mother
a fag’s best friend is the mother
a fag’s best friend is the mother
lightning comes on through with the thunder
it’s all that you need to grow underneath
watered by the gardener, my mother’s mother

standing with our backs toward the wolves
calling opulence to all the craziest fools
all the talking heads, the same as it ever was
there’s a change in the wind, souls in flux
i’m not giving up on you
i’m not giving up on you
its a cruel, cruel world
with nothing left to do
but i’m stuck like Lou
stuck like glue to you
and i don’t have a future
i don’t have a future
i don’t have a future
pretending that its all returning to stability
invoking all the spirits from our bloody history
all the choking voices, cracked out just like me
there’s a change in the wind, melody of melancholy
i’m not giving up on you
i’m not giving up on you
its a cruel, cruel world
with nothing left to do
but i’m stuck like Lou
stuck like glue to you
i don’t have a future
i don’t have a future
we don’t have a future
we don’t have a future
we don’t have a future
we don’t have a future
we don’t have a future

do you ever feel like a plastic bag
drifting through the wind wanting to start again
do you ever feel so paper thin
like a house of cards one blow from caving in
do you ever feel already buried deep
six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
do you know that there's still a chance for you
‘cause there's a spark in you
you just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
just own the night like the fourth of july
‘cause baby you're a firework
come on show 'em what you're worth
make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
as you shoot across the sky
‘cause baby you're a firework
come on let your colors burst
make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
you're gonna leave 'em in awe
you don't have to feel like a waste of space
you're original, cannot be replaced
if you only knew what the future holds
after a hurricane comes a rainbow
maybe a reason why all the doors are closed
so you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
like a lightning bolt your heart will glow
and when it's time, you'll know
you just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
just own the night like the fourth of july
‘cause baby you're a firework
come on show 'em what you're worth
make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
as you shoot across the sky
baby you're a firework
come on let your colors burst
make 'em go, "Oh, oh, oh"
you're gonna leave 'em in awe
boom, boom, boom
even brighter than the
moon, moon, moon
boom, boom, boom
even brighter than the
moon, moon, moon
rabbit’s moon
rabbit’s moon
rabbit’s moon
rabbit’s moon
rabbit’s moon
rabbit’s moon
rabbit’s moon
rabbit’s moon

i smile tho it’s fake
but you know i know you know
here you go, go, go
have a nice day (have a nice day)
i both am who i am but not who i am
i am, i am from another planet
try to find a signifier with so much convoluted wire
try to find a signifier with so much convoluted wire
light myself on fire
light myself on fire
light myself on fire
we could make a rainforest flourish
if we were to collect all the tears over the years
something in the way of my brain television
wires circuiting skipping channels every few seconds
we could fly so far away and never look back
try to find a signifier with so much convoluted wire
try to find a signifier with so much convoluted wire
try to find a signifier with so much convoluted wire
light myself on fire (wire)
light myself. light myself on fire (on fire, with wire)
so far i’m keeping up
but it’s been hard
losing another one
trying so hard, doing okay so far
losing another one
losing another one (light myself on fire)
losing another one (light myself on fire)
losing another one (a signifier, with so much convoluted wire)
try to find a signifier with so much convoluted wire
light myself on fire (wire)
light myself on fire (wire)
light myself on fire (with wire)

Imposter

always watching clocks go ‘round and ‘round
all that goes up must fall right back down
my palms are exits within other exits never finding town
i’m approaching that initiation
running them blocks to the bus station
worried i don’t catch onto my own imposter syndrome
and home is where they let you be
home is not the same to me
i’m not home when i’m at all with me
i’m still cunning for that face
and the ride has been so long and short
a ride that makes no sense to me
and i’m not home when i’m at all with me
i’m still searching for that peace
i’m still searching for that peace
searching for that peace
searching for that peace
searching for that peace
my teeth are shifting like cascadia induction
a crow sits its feet under each of my eyes
as my thighs are already like a hall of mirrors never telling lies
Oly airport has lights all of primary
but each and every one has become the same
pacing back and forth i’m losing my rhyming scheme
and breath of judgment speaking whisper of the tide
and home is where they let you be
home is not the same to me
i’m not home when i’m at all with me
i’m still cunning for that face
and the ride has been so long and short
a ride that makes no sense to me
and i’m not home when i’m at all with me
i’m still searching for that peace

Holy Roller

if i had a chance, i’d go back
and do so much so different
save that stack, make a stash
for the rainy days now permanent
ah, no one stays in place
ah, nothing ever stays in place
ah
this nothing dance is all that’s left
for this world so far from perfect
how did i land somebody so perfect
do i convince myself that i deserve it
ah, no one stays in place
ah, nothing ever stays in place
ah, ah, ah
nothing prepares you for the chase
something feels like its going to break
something feels like its going to break
something feels like its going to break
something feels like its going to break
baby, baby, baby, you’re my holy roller
baby, baby, baby, you’re my savior
baby, baby, baby, i’m not the drifter i thought i was
lie me here with you
ah, no one stays in place
ah, nothing ever stays in place
ah
something feels like it’s going to break
something feels like it’s gonna break
