UH HUH
1. Irun Therisk
(Do you run the risk of talking to yourself?)
Cause I run the risk of talking to myself every now and then
Yeah I run the risk of talking to myself
I run the risk of talking to myself every now and then
Do you ever just wanna
You gotta be somebody else just to be somebody, be somebody
Be somebody else just to be somebody, be somebody
Be somebody else just to be somebody, be somebody
Be somebody else just to be somebody, be somebody else
(Do you run the risk of talking to yourself?)
You wanna be somebody else, wanna be somebody else
I wanna bark up my own tree, wanna mark up everything
Wanna talk about my feelings without knowing what I'm hiding
But I think I'm the only one I ever could rely on
Secrets, truth, no lies, I hear it in the silence
I know there's good in the bad, I sinned a couple times
And I wouldn't have my drive if I didn't
So what now, I gotta give your mind all the business
If you even care, oh well
So what now, I gotta give your mind all the business come on
I'm doing my thing
You're doing nothing
So come on, call me crazy
I know you just want to be somebody else
You gotta be somebody else just to be somebody, be somebody
Be somebody else just to be somebody, be somebody (Pick it up, pick it up)
Be somebody else just to be somebody, be somebody
Be somebody else just to be somebody, be somebody else (Yeah)
I run the risk of talking to myself
Cause I run the risk of talking to myself
I run the risk of talking to myself
Cause I run the risk of talking to myself every now and then
2. At Least im in the Air
I want you to smile
In the way you used to
With a word it got took
With a word
Rest assured
In the soul I'll make you
"Make me higher"
I can try but
If I never rise above
At least I'm in the air (See me at the bottom, see me at the bottom)
(See me at the bottom, I'mma see you at the bottom)
We don't need a repeat
Nobody cares (See me at the bottom, see me at the bottom)
At least I'm in the air (See me at the bottom, I'mma see you at the bottom)
The front lasted for awhile
I can't see the rearview
If you want it back, yeah it takes more
Blessings earned, curses burden
It worsens but it made you
And it makes me tired
I can try but
If I never rise above
At least I'm in the air (See me at the bottom, see me at the bottom)
(See me at the bottom, I'mma see you at the bottom)
We don't need a repeat
Nobody cares (See me at the bottom, see me at the bottom)
At least I'm in the air (See me at the bottom, I'mma see you at the bottom)
What you take from me, what you take from me
What you take from me you keep
What you take from me, what you take from me
What you take from me you keep
What you take from me, what you take from me
What you take from me you keep
What you take from me, what you take from me
What you take from me you keep
What you take from me, what you take from me
What you take from me you keep
What you take from me, what you take from me
What you take from me you keep
What'd you take from me, what'd you take from me
What'd you take from me, what'd you take from me
What'd you take from me, what'd you take from me
What'd you take from me, what'd you take from me
If I never rise above (I want you to smile)
In the way you used to (See me at the bottom, see me at the bottom)
(See me at the bottom, I'mma see you at the bottom)
We don't need a repeat (Rest assured)
In the soul I'll make you (See me at the bottom, see me at the bottom)
(See me at the bottom, I'mma see you at the bottom)
3. SO DEAD
Things are big and small again
Again and they align
You wanna figure it out, boy
You better get in line
TLC ain't gonna do shit around here
Better buckle up, dear
Here it comes
You little shit, you got me talking through my teeth
You wanna fuck around, lie about, run it in the ground
You oughta say something
Spit it out
Two-timing pantomimer sit this one out
'Cause when the water starts rising
And comes to a head
You won't find me waiting long
Climbing over bodies
Trying to get ahead
You're so dead
You're so dead
You're so dead
Things are big and small again
Again and they align
You got your head held high while you stuck
You suck
Nah, don't take me along cause you ain't bringing much
No ones letting it up, but who's carrying what?
Shit, there's nothing left for you dear
Oh, here it comes now
And when the water starts rising
And comes to a head
You won't find me waiting long
And when the fire starts burning
And reaches the top
You won't find me jumping off
And when the bombs go off and all you got is the past
You better live in that rubble
Climbing over bodies
Trying to get ahead
You're so dead
You're so dead
You're so dead
4. Hell o
I've got an idea
A really, really, really, really big idea
Okay just shut the fuck up
You're gonna wanna hear this one
I'm gonna tell you what is up
Cause its coming if you want it
Or not, not not
First you just
Try to open up your mind a little bit
And then close both of your eyes
And stick out your thumb
Are you ready for what's up
Cause its coming if you want it
Or not, not not (And I can tell you hello)
And I can tell you hello my friend
You want the places people go where no one knows
Where all the lame formalities can melt in snow
It don't work out the way it sounds
It's more than anything you'll ever know
Anything you'll ever know
(Put a bag in my face)
(A price tag on your laces)
(Tie your shoe, wipe your ass)
(You failed more than just a class)
(Big break, big body)
(Make it small, get a hobby)
(Then stand tall, fix yourself)
(It means more to move up out here)
(Than anything you'll ever know)
(Than anything you'll ever know)
(Than anything you'll ever know)
I hear good and evil
Sitting on my shoulders, they agree
You weasels get on
Scurry out your hole
Or sit there and rot
Cause I got a little thought
Your God made the people that you hate
and they ain't going away
So I can tell you hello
Jesus would have chased you out the temple
(Jesus chased you fuckers out the temple, Jesus chased you)
Jesus chased you fuckers out the temple, Jesus chased you
(Jesus chased you fuckers out the temple, Jesus chased you)
So what we got left? Don't lie to yourself again
I've got an idea
A really, really, really, really, really, really, really big idea
Okay you you weren't right
About the big stuff
All your talking but it never was enough
Cause its coming
Yeah, it's here if you want it or not
And I will tell you hello
And I will tell you hello my friend
(Put a bag in my face, A price tag on your laces)
You want the places people go where no one knows
(Tie your shoe, wipe your ass, you failed more than just a class)
Where all the lame formalities can melt in snow
(Big break, big body, make it small, get a hobby)
It don't work out the way it sounds
(Then stand tall, fix yourself, it means more to move up out here)
It's more than anything you'll ever know
(More than anything you'll ever know, anything you'll ever know)
Anything you'll ever know
(Anything you'll ever know)
And I will tell you hello my friend
(Put a bag in my face, A price tag on your laces)
You want the places people go where no one knows
(Tie your shoe, wipe your ass, you failed more than just a class)
Where all the lame formalities can melt in snow
(Big break, big body, make it small, get a hobby)
It don't work out the way it sounds
(Then stand tall, fix yourself, it means more to move up out here)
It's more than anything you'll ever know
(More than anything you'll ever know, anything you'll ever know)
Anything you'll ever know
(Anything you'll ever know)
5. causeyouwanna
I tried to take away the pain any way I could
When I stumbled in the room
You said wake up, you said wake up
You don't unmake a friend unless you want to
It's gotta come to an end though
Sooner or later
You're scaring me
Is this another melancholy time
You're playing off of pain
Full of bullshit restraint
Cause there's fears (It's coming back now)
Then there's wear (It's coming back now)
On your face (It's coming back now)
And in your head
But I got a mind of telling you
There's more to it you didn't do cause
You won't get that shit done
Just cause you wanna
(I disappear)
(Get out of here)
(I leave without a trace)
It's kind of weird
To feel tears
Falling down your face
(Sitting around talking that much)
(I knew you were never getting up)
(Sitting around talking that much)
(I knew you were never getting up)
I don't even know what I missed
But I miss it bad
Miss it bad
What can I make?
What can I break?
Cause there's fears (It's coming back now)
Then there's wear (It's coming back now)
On your face (It's coming back now)
But is it in your head
Hope someone don't mind telling you
There's more to it you didn't do cause
You won't get that shit done
Just cause you wanna
ROCKING HORSE
1. ROCKING HORSE
A little wooden rocking horse
Was all I really ever got out of her
Her face is blurred
Eight years later I had stepped outside
A million wandering but patient eyes on me
An ICU
And to think of all the times
And to think of all the lies but
We don't have to talk about it
I understand I understand
Where I stand
Where I'll land
I think you would be disgusted to see me
In this state of disarray
Once alive but far removed
I haven't died cause I live on through you
Mhm
And to think of all the times
And to think of all the lies
I'm on the brink of time
Slow it down, ease the mind but
We don't have to talk about it
I understand I understand
We don't have to talk about it
I understand I understand
Where I stand
Where I'll land
What I am
What I am
Would I?
(forget about it)
(I understand)
(I understand)
It's not all dark on the other side
It's not all dark on the other side
It's not all dark on the other side
2. COUNT ME OUT
(It's just a little fucked up, you know what I mean?)
As long as it makes sense, right?
The feeling's high
Quit staring at my fingers just focus on what's in your ears
Right
Wrong
Just another dull night
Passion left the door I got no feelings no more
And he's
Count me out
I'm back, push it down, side to side, left is right
Leaving meaning, high and dry, please don't leave me out to dry
Count me out
The rules are disappearing
But you're still hard of hearing
As long as I make ends, right?
I made it I
Quit staring at my ideas focus on what's in the air
I fight
I lost
I gambled and it cost
Passion left the door I got no feelings no more
And he's
Count me out
Cut it back, push it down, side to side, left is right
Take a drink, do or die, useless but I'm full of pride
Count me out
Nothing left but suicide, people just watch from the side
Leaving meaning, high and dry, please don't leave me out to dry
Count me out
The rules are disappearing
But you're still hard of hearing
The rules are disappearing
But you're so hard of hearing
3. CHARM
(A little structure a little bit...) Fuck
Hey there
I feel care
I feel a flame
Before it dies out
A minute or two (Would it be okay if I wake up the ghost of you for a minute or two?)
Is that so bad
Nobody stayed around, was it charming how alone I was (A minute or two)
But after a minute or two
It wasn't so bad
4. SOMETHING REAL
Girl
You caught me with my hands down
And now you wanna turn around
It's the last thing you do
Girl
I saw you with your clothes off
And now we leave before it starts
It's the last thing you knew
I felt something real
I felt something real
Turn
Back the clock to July
It's the third or forth or last time
I don't have a clue
Don't
Don't tell me all the facts
Don't tell me to relax
'Cause I know what you do
'Cause I know what you do
('Cause I know what you do)
('Cause I know what you do)
('Cause I know what you do)
('Cause I know what you do)
I felt something real
I felt something real
I felt something real
I felt something real
I felt
5. ...IN YOUR SLEEP
A silent argument
An elephant to circumvent
Nobody is talking
Nobody is talking
The weight it brings you down
A whirlwind spin-around
Nobody is talking
The world stopped turning
The world stopped turning it's
So still
You're talking in your sleep
So still
As still as the air I breathe
There's nobody here to see you
There's nobody here to meet you
Over my shoulder
Muttering, stumbling, half-conscious
Nobody is talking
The world stopped turning
The world stopped turning it's
So still
You're talking in your sleep
So still
As still as the air I breathe
There's nobody here to see you
There's nobody here to meet you
6. THE PARASITE
Ah I don't wanna get close to you
I swear the storm took everything
I need some place to stay
He looked to the sky to think
And then he led me to my room
"Promise me you're out of here by noon"
The only thing he said
But when I rest my head
I knew that
It's all mine
I can't think twice
I'm a parasite
But it's all
Mine
Ah I don't wanna get close to you
I swear I need a couple more days
You're getting pretty lame
Yeah he broke down and went into his room
Screamed out for his son put the gun inside his lips it was too late
He closed the door and told me
It's all mine (Mhm)
It's all mine (Yeah, you want to talk to me now?)
It's all mine (Oh, is that the way you're going to be?)
(Hey guys, I guess that's it)
These are my shoes
This is my hair
This is my blood on my hardwood floor
And my carpet over there
It's all mine
(what did you do to me)
It's all mine
(what did you do to me)
It's all mine
I can't think twice
I'm a parasite
But it's all
Mine
Ah you don't wanna get close to me
This man he stole my everything
I needed place to stay
I took his life away
He took my life away
So in this bed I'll lay
So in this bed I'll lay
So in this bed I'll lay
7. WHATDIDYOUDO
Okay
What did you do
With the rest of the
What did you do
(The world)
(I, I don't ask questions anymore)
(Everything lost its glow. The world's smaller, doesn't mean anything. You're not yourself, its gone by)
You bitch
8. SOMETHING STRANGE (LESIONS)
(God it's just fucking)
(I'm fucking done)
Lesions in a swarm
Empty stadiums
I still got my friends
Needles in my arm
Feel it cauterize
I'm invisible now, I'm here in pretend
What did it sound like when it began? (I can't remember)
What time did it end? (I fell asleep)
Did I hop on the train too late? (Wait for me)
I can't remember
I just hit a wall
(Get yourself together!)
I can't help but think it's
Just enough
To hear you think it up
'Cause I will meet you in the middle and then mess it up
Point out the signs
Gouge out your eyes
I'm under the influence
I can't remember, remember (I'm fucking done)
Lesions in a swarm
Empty stadiums
I'm invisible now I'm here in pretend
What did it sound like when it began? (I can't remember)
And what time did it end? (I fell asleep)
Did I hop on the train too late? (Wait for me)
Call me a victim of fate, with this I'll never be afraid (I can't remember)
I feel something strange
9. NULL&VOID
(I'll never get it for you)
(I'll never do it for you)
(I'll never get it for you)
(I'll never do it for you)
(I'll never get it for you)
(I'll never do it for you)
(I'll never get it for you)
On your way out
Did you stop and think of the space
In between the love and hate
Did you sit down
And sign the contract in your brain
Null and void became null and void
Null and void became null and void
Null and void became null and void
Null and void became null and void
Null and void became null and void
Null and void became null and void
Null and void became null and void
10. THE LIGHT
Melting in the bed from a
Lack of oxygen
When I close my eyes
It goes white
Wake up in the room
The moon had gone too soon
I had never thought I'd see real light again
You're my only friend
But I saw the light and I'll never see you again
I've been more than fair
But theres too much at stake
I cant throw my life away
To make a point
A ringing in my ears
To wash away the fears
I am happy
I am happy
I am happy
I am happy
I am happy
I am happy
I am happy
I am happy
I am happy
I am happy
I am happy
I am happy
I am
You're my only friend
But I saw the light and I'll never see you again
I am happy
11. UNFINISHED UNSUNG / UP THERE
It's not your fault, you'll never know
Life is contradiction, move slow
It's not your fault, you'll never know (After all I did)
Life is contradiction, move slow (After all I didn't do)
Question every bad thing you (After all I did)
'Cause there's no good or bad, just truth (Unfinished unsung)
Question every bad thing you do
'Cause there's no good or bad, just truth (Unsung)
It's not your fault, you'll never know
It's not your fault, you'll never know (It's not your fault)
It's not your fault, It's not your fault,
It's not your-
It's not your fault, you'll never know
It's not your fault (It's not your fault)
I see it in the moonlight
Big bright halo
Obscuring my dreams
I see it in the moonlight
Up in the atmosphere
Leaving here
You're up there
And I'm down here
You're up there
And I'm down here
Don't burn too bright
Running from a good lie
Was it really worth the tears
Crying from a plastic chair
Tell each other good night
Now
Leaving here
Leaving here
It'll be okay
It'll be okay
It'll be okay
It'll be okay
It'll be okay
It'll be okay
It'll be okay but
You're up there
And I'm down here
You're up there
And I'm down here
You're up there (Don't burn)
And I'm down (Too bright)
You're up there (Don't burn)
And I'm down here (Too bright)
12. REPRISE
Two years later I had tried to die
I woke up in my bedroom still alive
I need
To see you
Once upon a time I lived with no fear
That was 'round the time I saw her face
Real clear (That was 'round the time I saw her face)
Yeah I saw you (Coming through real clear)
Yeah I saw you
I saw you
I saw you
A little wooden rocking horse
Was all I ever really got out of her (A little wooden rocking horse)
Was all I ever really got out of her (Her face is blurred)
Her face is blurred (Was all I ever really got out of her)
Her face is blurred
Soil
1. Beginning
The clouds are drifting away from the water
The silence stripped all the grey from the water
I want to return to the water
I want to return to the water
The house that stands on the hill looking farther
If I could ever amount to a father
I want to love all my sons and my daughters
And make them return to the water
And it was good
And it was good
When I lay over
It'll all be over, that's right
When I seep lower
I'll turn the boat over, that's right
The water
The water
The water
The water
When the cold hits
Run for your kids, that's right
When it all ends
That's when I begin, alright
The water
The water
The water
The water
2. The Elk
The great big elk
Stamps his hoof
And yells into the cold air fog is forming
He don't know his own strength
Cause when you live among the mighty trees
Its easy to feel small
You got to get away
After this, you'll be missed
Leave it all behind
Its for your own good
Out of air
You appear
I'm reaching out but I cant seem to touch you
I want you
To make me whole
And see beyond what I can see
I'm done crying
I have plenty of time
When I'm dying
I know I'll be happy
You got to get away
After this you'll be missed
Leave it all behind
I'm just like you
I know you're hurting too
You cant hear a word I say
But we know we got to
3. I Don't Want to Think
I wanna be a dog
Chewing on beefhide right by your side
Run along not thinking about anything
Except you
I wanna be a flower
Blowing in the breeze protected by your hair
Lay along not thinking about anything
Except you
I wanna feel the ground
Beneath my feet
I don't want to think
I wanna feel the earth
Spin around me
I don't want to think
I need to be a brook
Constantly changing but always at peace
And when the rain comes
I wont be afraid
I wanna feel the ground
Beneath my feet
I don't want to think
I wanna feel the earth
Spin around me
I don't want to think
I wanna feel the ground
Beneath my feet
I don't want to think
I wanna feel the earth
Spin around me
I don't want to
Think
4. Garden
How can I have faith in stupid things like other people
How can I have faith in stupid people like myself
Give me a reason
When I see you in space
And you go floating on by
I'll never see you again
You better listen to me
How can I plant my garden
When there's no light
You creature
You monster
When I see you in space
And you go floating on by
I'll never see you again
You better listen to me
5. Sugar
When will it all break
The walls come tumbling down and then
Nobody has nothing to say
Sugar help the medicine go down
Through these years I
I'm fighting to be the kid that knows just what to say
Would you please just keep it down
Just one more time
I cannot be myself and escape and also get what's mine
Sugar come on we're going now
My favorite part of everyday is when I get to slip away
It's calling now, it's calling now, I'm done playing this silly game
My favorite part of everyday is when I get to slip away
It's calling now, it's calling now, I'm done playing this silly game
I'm done playing this silly game, I'm done playing this silly game
My favorite part of everyday is when I get to slip away
6. Last Sunday I Didn't Do Shit
Once a week I tell myself
Get a job and get a life
It's hard to be hardworking
When everybody looks at you
What to do
When things don't go through
I don't wanna go
I won't be moved
Last Sunday I didn't do shit
I was so disappointed in myself that
I wallowed in my own disappointment
People calling my phone
Why can't I be left alone
Why do I pick up every time
Why do I pick up every time
I feel so tired
Drained of hopefulness
In myself and the rest of the world
I am a rock who doesn't roll
Over for anyone not even myself
You've seen my face
It's not really me
I'm reaching out
But its not really me
What to do
When things don't go through
I don't wanna go
I won't be moved
7. Easy
Don't rush to play those types of games
You'll grow up too quick end up insane
Just like the man you wish you were
Yeah you want it, right
Well come and get it in all the wrong ways
Peel back the curtain and its full of disappointment
Don't act like it's easy
But take it easy
Don't act like it's easy
But take it easy
We left our home in Falls Church
And went our separate ways
I thought I'd find myself but
I am my circumstance
I can't stand
I thought I was the only good person left
But I did a bad thing
Don't act like it's easy
But take it easy
Don't act like it's easy
But take it easy
8. Earthworm
Digging in the dirt
What did you find
An earthworm
His skin feels like mine
Slimy
Like he wants to run away
When you go to church
You believe
In life unfolding neatly
Without a crease
Jesus
Where'd you run away
But I'll come around
I've come of age
I'm done playing games
Sitting on the bed
What did I find
The moon peaking in
It tells me to climb
Climbing
Climbing
Climbing
Climbing
Like he wants to run away
The cold grass feels nice
So does the wine
Street lights on your halo
I'm good tonight
Please run
Cause there's no turning back
9. Soil
You are hurt
And only you are to blame
For you have allowed yourself pain
So suffocate your face in the terrain
And let the maggots and worms feast until next harvest
And lay down in the soil
Virginia
1. Virginia
He smelled of roses in full bloom
Was the only one in the room
You smiled and said my name aloud
I left it in Virginia
Yeah we win and then we lose
But I'd give it all up to be next to you
I saw you the day before you died
I left you in Virginia
In the park I lay with you
Under my two feet I feel you bloom
You're not gone in my soul
Someday I'll come and meet ya
When I get back to Virginia
The old me is dead
He is dead (Someday I'll come and meet ya)
He is dead (When I get back to Virginia)
Dead (Someday I'll come and meet ya)
He is dead (When I get back to Virginia)
He is dead (When I get back to Virginia)
He is dead
He is
2. Mistake
You see me
Right back at the place you started from
What did you expect
I said you should quit those cigarettes
I'm gonna let go
I can't fight a mental war on two fronts
Can't you see
What you've done
I lost my way
I made a mistake
I'm tired of looking
I'm tired of being right
You play your games
I stay the same
I'm sure we'll all be fine
I didn't see you today cause I don't have the time
I didn't eat today cause I don't have the money
I lost my way
I made a mistake
I'm tired of looking
I'm tired of being right
You play your games
I stay the same
I'm sure we'll all be fine
I lost my way
I made a mistake
I'm tired of looking
I'm tired of being right
You play your games
I stay the same
I'm sure we'll all be fine
3. Why Do I Never Cry
Today my heart will stop beating
I'm eighteen stories up and I'm gonna add one more
It's a long way down
I didn't expect it to be a warm night
But the nervousness is making my hands cold
View the world
View the world
Through the eyes
Know the world
Know the world
Through the heart
It seems like the older I get
The fuller my brain becomes (Of bad thoughts)
I've got a big surprise
All of my friends are now melancholy for two weeks (Then they'll forget about me)
View the world
View the world
Through the eyes
Know the world
Know the world
Through the art
Through the part of me that comes awake at night
And then was over before it began
Oh why do I never
Cry
Why do I never cry
Why do I never cry
Why do I never
Never cry
Never cry
Never cry
Why do I never cry
Why do I (Never cry)
Tomorrow my heart will stop beating
4. Me And You
Up the hill oh up the hill
It's so hard when you're chasing thrills
To keep the heart beating
To keep the heart alive
One day I'll find another man
He can teach me where I stand
Sit me up and don't let me fall away
You humble me I humble you
Life works so great in twos
Oh I can't wait for me and you
Oh I can't wait for me and you
I thought I could learn a thing or two
but I'm always running back to you
Up the hill oh up the hill
This curse we call free will
It keeps the heart beating
But I don't feel alive
Yeager
1. Teenage Relationships
Hey let's name the oceans
And swim side by side
Let's walk for the rest of our lives
We'll give it time
It won't hurt as much for you and me
If we just pretend for the time being
Let's do each other for the first time
We'll laugh and cry
We'll leave each other once college rolls around
Don't make a sound
Is it just jealousy or halfway games
Is there a reason why I can't feel the same thing
It won't hurt as much for you and me
If we just pretend for the time being
It's not over till they say it's over
It's not over till they say it's over
It's not over till they say it's over
It's not over till they say it's over
Hey let's name the oceans
And swim side by side
Let's walk for the rest of our lives
We'll give it time, we'll give it time
2. One More Time
Take me away from the water
Hush me away from fast cars
Touch my face one more time
Read my lips
Try to understand
I don't love you anymore
You've seen the worst of me
You can take it or just leave
Touch my face one more time
Read my lips
Try to understand
I don't love you anymore
You've seen the worst of me
You can take it or just leave
3. In The Park
On a rosewood fairyland
Going back to Maryland
With not even half a grand
Talking to Marianne
Who was never really there
Like the warmth of your stare
That lingers in my mind
A vision of
In the park where you lay
It wasn't meant to be this way
But here you are and here I am
Lost and found at the cemetery gates
Oh how I wish to go back one day
We'd run beneath the stones
Rolling, flashing painted black
Wave my grandmother hello
Say goodbye when we got too cold
Lying between your thighs
With Henry Lee and a sigh
While I'm stuck staring at those wide green lonely eyes
That only lingers in my mind with a vision of
In the park where you lay
It wasn't meant to be this way
But here you are and here I am
Lost and found at the cemetery gates
Oh how I wish to go back one day
Take it away Boy Minos
In the park where you lay
It wasn't meant to be this way
But here you are and here I am
Lost and found at the cemetery
In the park where you lay
It wasn't meant to be this way
But here you are and here I am
Lost and found at the cemetery
In the park where you lay
It wasn't meant to be this way
But here you are and here I am
Lost and found at the cemetery
In the park where you lay
It wasn't meant to be this way
But here you are and here I am
Lost and found at the cemetery
4. God Damn Me
Silently sit by my window
And stare at nothing at all
Wish I could amount to something
But I know where I'm going
God damn me
God damn me
Suffocated in your gaze
Late nights that I gave away
Moving slowly not concerning
The clock has struck the hour
No one friend can watch out for you
Guess I'll be tasting paper
Falling silent please believe me
When I say seriously
God damn me
God damn me
When you're feeling everything
All you are is getting older
Shoulder boulders for other people
That you didn't need to
Happening is happening
Nothing's stopped and nothing's changed
Everything was supposed to change
Everything was supposed to change

6. Fever Dream
Things are not as they seem
I still feel like I'm in a fever dream
But you know the words so you'll sing along
I just don't want to drag on, on, on, on, on, on
On
I swear to fucking god
Being a being makes my head explode
Being a being makes my head explode
Being a being makes my head explode
Being a being makes my head explode
Being a being makes my head explode
Being a being makes my head explode
Being a being makes my head explode
Being a being makes my head explode
Being a being makes my head explode
Being a being makes my head explode
7. Who Broke Your Heart?
How many times do you let me down?
In the span of a week I can't eat I can't sleep I can't talk
I'm breaking like chalk
In the cool of the night I feel alright
But it's not enough just to tell me that you'll hold me tight
After picking a fight
Who broke your heart?
Heart?
You're in my head and you're in my heart
When it comes to deceiving you're off the charts
And you see her well after the ball
But there's nothing appealing about a broken heart
Who broke your heart?
How many times do you let me drown?
In the span of a week I can't eat I can't sleep I can't count
A staggering amount
In the heat of the night I feel alright
It's not enough just to tell me that you'll hold me tight
After picking a fight
Who broke your heart?
Heart?
You're in my head and you're in my heart
When it comes to achieving you missed the mark
And you see her well after the ball
But there's nothing appealing about a broken heart
Who broke your heart?
Oh no
You're in my head and you're in my heart
When it comes to deceiving you're off the charts
And you see her well after the ball
But there's nothing appealing about a broken heart
Who broke your heart?
I wanna know who broke your heart?
I wanna know
I wanna know who broke your heart?
I wanna know who broke your heart?
Who broke your heart? I wanna know
I wanna know
Who broke your heart?
8. The Fall
I want to
I want to feel your skin
You know I'm ready
I'm ready to commit the ultimate sin
And then I realized I was falling in a dream
Dream
Feeling
Feeling is the only way to win
Take it
Take it and know that no one here is in
And then I realized
I fell
I fell
I can't explain it
The way my mind lights up like fireworks when I think of you
Its a concoction addictive toxin of dopamine and oxytocin
The love potion in my brain
You give me a natural high
I'm alive when the potions seeps within my soul
You are all things good and evil and I'm addicted to it all
You entirely, your entirety
I crave to know more and to see you nude
From your body to your core
You were,
You were peeling off my skin
But then I realized
I was ready
I was ready to commit
But then I realized
Feeling
Feeling like we'll never win
Then I realized
Take it
Take it or leave it or don't
Cause then I realized
Falling
Falling's all I ever see with you
Cause I realized
Falling
Falling's all I want to do with you
Falling
Falling's all I want to do
With you
9. Ode To Yeager
I swear to god I can lament
But it wont make things any easier
The wind was blowing from the south
But it wasn't on my back
Young boy you better watch your mouth
What you meant by teasing her
Was not really what you meant
Now you're sitting on the ground
You know you're my only friend
The one who really really comforts me
We lie in bed awake
Pretending we're asleep
At least that's what I'd like to think
Ah shake it ah shake, shake it ah ah shake it
Ah shake it ah shake, shake it ah ah shake it
Ah shake it ah shake, shake it ah ah shake it
Ah shake it ah shake, shake it ah ah shake it
Ah shake it ah shake, shake it ah ah shake it
Ah shake it ah shake, shake it ah ah shake it
Ah shake it ah shake, shake it ah ah shake it ah
I know that one day you'll be gone
And replaced by another
We can forget about it now
Underneath the covers
When life just yells at me
I choose to sit so very quietly
And stare in your green eyes
While you do not say a thing
I wish that you could stay
But that won't make things any easier
You know I see you every day
You really like it when I sing
At least that's what I like to think
Three, four
I cannot feel a single thing
A single thing
I cannot feel a single thing
A single thing
I cannot feel a single thing
A single thing
I cannot feel a single thing
A single thing
So theres something about symbols in different texts
That can help us give an idea of the meaning behind what the author has given us
So I try to create symbols in my everyday life and try and convince myself
That I actually have control over it
I find solace in things that don't do anything in life except provide stability
Except I hate stability
But I know that the things that provide stability in my life never last forever
And I hate that
I love you so much because you do nothing
Everything in my life has something to say
But you sit there and stare at me and lay next to me
But this song is not about you
You're just a symbol that I made up
Something in my life that means something that doesn't exist in other people's reality
But my perception is my reality, that's what people say
But I don't give a fuck about what other people have to say
Fuck, I guess that's a good way to end things
Is this thing still on?
Fue
1. One More Time
Take me away from the water
Hush me away from fast cars
Touch my face one more time
Read my lips
Try to understand
I don't love you anymore
You've seen the worst of me
You can take it or just leave
Touch my face one more time
Read my lips
Try to understand
I don't love you anymore
You've seen the worst of me
You can take it or just leave
2. Nice Guys (feat. G I T B)
You can see I'm getting hard to find
Better watch out when you cross a line
You can get lost gotta watch the time
I don't want to have to blow your mind (Yeah)
You're not single, yeah, you're mine
Please don't go and waste my time
I've been working on my grind
Don't make me have to blow your blow your blow your mind
Nice guys won't treat you fair (Yeah)
Nice guys won't treat you fair (Yeah)
Nice guys won't treat you fair (Yeah)
Nice guys won't treat you fair in your eyes
Nice guys won't treat you fair
Nice guys won't treat you fair
Nice guys won't treat you fair
In your eyes, yeah, go!
Nice guys won't treat you fair
Nice guys won't treat you fair
Nice guys won't treat you fair
Nice guys won't treat you fair in your eyes
She's like wait
I'm like no
She's like stay
I'm like go
Blowing up my phone when I told you to leave me alone
Madness when I did the same thing to you about a month ago
Using me is a thing I'm used to but never has it been so explicit
Next time just don't come calling me cause I'll be gone by next week so just
Don't make me have to...
Don't make me have to...
3. Short/Sweet
All I want from you
Is something short but sweet
As my hands explore places unknown
And I feel a twitch in your feet
My mind will never
Say I love you
My heart can bend and break and such
In any part of two
As I walk out alone
Another warm summer night
Put my hands in my pockets
Start up my car turn on the light
Something short and sweet
The only reason we'll meet
All I want from you
Is something short and sweet
4. The Last Bullfrog
Just the last little bit of information
We're a dying breed
I don't think it even matters at this point
We're not safe in the water
We're not safe on the land
We're a dying breed
Hop on and on and on just another phenomenon
A subspecies gone just like dust
It's over
Like I said we are
Just another extinct species
A Portrait of Daisies
1. Portrait of Daisies
Running in the summer sun
The winter came too quick
Think of homemade memories
It all went to shit
I picked you a portrait of daisies
And now I don't want to come home
Maybe we could work things out
Lying in the cold grass
I don't want to stay here
Singing instrumentals cause my voice ain't so clear
Maybe if we work things out
And maybe if we work things out
Lets start over straight from scratch
But I know all good things weren't meant to last
2. Wait
I'm not twelve anymoreStaring at my bedroom door
The violence demands silence or things will split in two
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you
I'm not sixteen anymore
Looking back away I walk
The empty threats and cut off connections
Things will split in two
But I'll wait for youI'll wait for you
You're never alone when you're walking in a minefield, now
A range of emotions, wont you fire away, now, fire away, now
You're never alone when you're walking in a minefield, now
A range of emotions, wont you fire away, now, fire away, now
You're never alone when you're walking in a minefield, now
A range of emotions, wont you fire away, now, fire away, now
I'm tired of fucking waiting
I'm not me anymoreTurn away and close the door
I'm tired and worn and needing rest
I have split in two
I wont wait for you
I wont wait for you
I wont wait for you
I wont wait for you
I wont wait for you
3. Chasing Seagulls
We were chasing seagulls the other day
Now all our love has gone away
Life is so sublime when love is on your side
We were chasing seagulls the other day
How do you keep your sanity?
How do you keep- how do you stay motivated
How do you stay inspired and how do you stay in a relationship
When you believe something is wrong
4. Fried
Ostracize me 'till my lips meet the barrel
How fitting is it that all of this apparelIs loose to hide the true secrets of insecurities
There ain't no hidden meaning straight up close and front and personal my friend
My fr-enemy, my melodies, my recipes rest in peace
When I lie in bed feeling unmotivated to finish this song of at least get along con mi padre
Bro, I'm just being honest
Fix me up another one I'll have a gin and tonic
Saying you can't buy me love well grow some bigger pockets
Or grow a pair of balls 'cause blaming me cant stop you
Oh you forgot about all the shit you been sayingSaying I been lying all these fits you been playin
All these games you been screaming and yelling for way
Too long our love is non-existent
Scraping the bottom of the barrel for some type of hope
You can't fit your own words in your mouth so turds just come out
Or calling the feds, I was better off dead, or I'm causing this stress but you can't look in the mirror
And face your own self but the image is getting clearer
Limelight cooks me upI try these different drugsI'm liable to wreck my lungs
I can't trust none of these bums
Feds forgot my case
I read up on musicians
I head to a new placeMy mind space is chosen one
I got the slower gun but I am the quicker draw
Real G's move in silence am I breaking the lawI can't really say but I am living this way
The twelve wanting a case, low is how I layFearing day to day I may share my brother's fate
My backpack getting searched hope I didn't bring nothing today
A crackhead hit my up said this shit make you feel amaze
5. Buy (Interlude)
Yo what's up negus let me get an esketit
Esketit
See this ice, bitch, I'm froze up n**ga
Yuh
But the reality of it all is- is that
We don't miss work
We don't miss work because there, something tied to work; what's tied to work
Wait a minute, wait a minute, what's tied to work?
Benefits
Paychecks
Because the paycheck funds the things that we want to do
And if we don't have those benefits and we don't have those paychecks
Guess what happensWe can't do what we want to do
Because the car don't run off air
I will buy
I will feed into the system
I will work nine to five
I will sacrifice my happiness for money
6. Life
Everybody's holding hands
And everybody takes their turn
I see the postman twice every week
He helps me understand
Why so complicated
Why I'm drowning
Why can't I see myself when I look in the mirror
Everybody's here and there
We don't want to wait our turn
Everybody's got someplace to be
I want to stay still
Why so complicated
Why I'm drowning
Why can't I see myself when I look in the mirror
I've eaten my breakfast
I went to bed and do the same
Or do you have a dog in the fight
It's all a game
Rinse repeat, my life is clean
And you've changed some
Why the long face
Why the long face
I get up
I read the news of other people living
I waste my own
I get along
I sing my song
It's all the same
It's all mundane
It rackets on my brain
Get off
Get off
Why the long face
I make my sandwiches for you and for me
Rinse and repeat
7. Death
Heard you were hungry
I'm on your mind
I can't help but dream of the day, the day, the day, the day
Spit me up and chew me out
How could you forget what I'm all about
Count me out of your plans and the benefit of the doubt keeps me away
Spit me up and chew me out
How could you forget what I'm all about
Count me out of your plans and the benefit of the doubt keeps me away
Away away, away away, away away
A way, a way, a way a way
Way, a way
Away, away
Way
This is the end my old friend
I'll see you on the other side, till' we meet again
Run away
Run far away
Run away(I'm right behind you)
Run far away
Run away
Run far away
8. Right About Now
When will you wake up
Who do you take me for
It's just another game where you're waiting at the end
But the demons locked inside
It was no use to hide
Who you really were inside your living hell
But your past reality
Was not so far to see
Who you really are right about now
9. Portrait of Daisies, Pt. 2
I painted this picture just for you
I dug in the ground and got dirt underneath my fingernails
I handpicked every last one and tied them up in plastic that crumples
When you grip it too hard
I cant afford to give you roses so I found daisies
I didn't go to the store or make the effort to work for somebody else
I worked for you
We can watch them slowly die together
We can look back at how things used to be
We can ignore every part of why things are how they are
We can feel the earth turn faster after each birthday
We can run through the front yard, once green and lush, now brown and scorched
You can ignore the why's and look at the what's
You think too much and too little
As the earth turns faster and faster
The flowers grew tired of sucking up water as you ignored them day by day
It's an inconvenience
It's nothing more than a paperweight
Appreciation is all but lost, and replaced with artificial sentiment
And silently, the petals turn brown one by one.
A portrait of daisies
10. Untitled
Ooh
Limelight
1. Crawl (Intro):
Hey man
I was just calling to see what you was doing next weekend
If you don't have anything planned I'd love for you to come to this benefit that I'm doing
It's a benefit for women with no legs
They say the place is going to be crawling with pussy
2. Summer
I remember we used to make love all summer
Watching the leaves turn brown
Everything seemed so close to me
I remember we used to laugh at all the small things
Everything seems so heavy
That weight
I remember how easy it was to feel
Now I see the anger
I will make you king of the woods
I'll make you feel like something's worth leaving
I remember we used to make love all summer
Watching the leaves turn brown
I still love you
I still love you
I still love you
I still
I still love you (But would you still love me)
3. Let Down
Transport, motorways and tramlines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people clinging on to bottles
And when it comes it's so, so disappointing
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
Shell smashed, juices flowing
Wings twitch, legs are going
Don't get sentimental
It always ends up drivel
One day I am gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
You know, you know where you are withYou know, you know where you are with
You know where you are with
Floor collapsing
Floating, bouncing back
And one day
I am gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
4. Hopes + Dreams
Hey what's up my name is from Tanzania
Actually, I'm a student in high school
And I'm going to be finishing my studies in May
So I'm starting into boarding school
And I have to go back to school next week
I have to go back home so, actually
You know, I like writing music, I doing art and stuff I'm saying like
Listening to music or watching movies, so actually
I'm so happy to meet you
And I think we should be doing our music together
So you should visit me so you can see my country
You know my country is so beautiful yes we have a good load of people
Work, I think you have understood me
5. A Glance
A glance, a glance
No second chances
You fell from the sky, something so pure
I can tell from your eyes that nothing's so sure
But I know this
If I just talk to you what's the worst that could happen
Just walk me through what's been going on with your man
Shit
Be honest, with two it don't always go as we planned it
I'm on the sod growing what I planted
And to be honest you're the seed in my heart and this has been the sunshine of my life
I don't need weed or a car to feel high or drive
I don't need speed or a bar to get my fix
I liked you since the beginning
Since that first conversation
A glance is all it took
A glance is all that's left
I find my face in the windowpane
Trying to catch a breath
A glance is all it took
A glance is all that's left
A glance, a glance, a glance, a glance, a glance, a glance, a glance, a glance
Check my wallet, check my wallet, check my pocket, am I flawless, am I honest
No cash is as brash as a cyclone in the middle of Kansas
Leaving me flat on my ass, no drug money making me feel funny
Can I buy my happiness without seeking my cell
Addicted to the winter well I'm heating the elves
You see millionaires killing themselves
Blood filling the bills on the shelf
So does money buy content or does content buy you
Into wanting your own cash to perpetuate the loop
And no one gets sad at the mad hatter, just the paycheck please
As long as I get paid easily that's all that matters
It sounds a little drastic but the world is plastic
And if you look around and you take one chance, a second look, another glance, look
No second chances
You fell from the sky, something so pure
I can tell from your eyes that nothing's so sure
But I know this, I know this
What the hell is a limelight, bro, like
I'm making my money, stupid-ass pay pushing broccoli around
What the hell am I doing with my life I'm just making money to pay for this
I'm not happy with myself
A glance is all it took
A glance is all that's left
I find my face in the windowpane
Trying to catch a breath
A glance is all it took
A glance is all that's left
A glance, a glance, a glance, a glance, a glance, a glance, a glance, a glance
God bless
It isn't me
And for awhile I try to
I'm still a young man
6. Boy Blonde
I don't know what's going on um
My name is Boy Blonde and I've contributed nothing to this album about from this
So how about that, airline food haha yeah
um
I don't know what to say
I don' even know if this sounds good I'm in my car and my ideas suck
That's what's happened today, I don't know
I wish I could contribute to this album but I don't trust myself to do anything good or useful because I fucking suck
Um yeah that's me Boy Blonde I guess
I'm the best- the best in the Boy Boys for sure, most talented
Um
I'm wandering through life with no purpose or ambition
There's birds flying over me, that's freedom innit? Free as a bird that's what they say
I am not free
I've got people telling me what to do every day
I don't know who I am bruh
What is real? Money's not real right okay this is why money's not real because cash means nothing to anyone
Cause you can't see the number
If you got all like everything in cash what can you do
That's like half the shit you can't buy and then money on your bank account is just a number
If the bank just like got hacked like you just I know it's hard to hack a bank but someone could just like wipe everyone's money and that's their whole money and theres no way of proving that you ever had it
That's weird innit
Money is not real
Imagine if aliens came down okay
Right hear me out
And they're just like what the fuck are you doing
Cause I'm out here pushing fucking broccoli around
Why aren't we all dedicated to one purpose like knowledge you know what I mean?
I don't know
How meaningless is my job
I guess I'm helping people but fuck it I don't wanna help people
Also art's weird do you ever think about
I don't know what if we're wasting our time by doing this
We all just want to understand ourselves so we have to create art we just have to create do you know what I mean like
In order to know who we are isn't it weird that we don't know who we are like
I've said "like" so many fucking times I want to kill myself
But in order to get a better understanding of ourselves we make music we makes films we make drawings, paintings
I like hide my- oh fuck me I keep saying like
I hide my lack of confidence by pretending that I am good, you know what I mean?
That's why I always catch myself saying like oh
"I'm the best at this, I'm the smartest at this, I'm good looking"
I like to pretend I'm good looking when I'm not
Sometimes I am though, uknowhatimsayin?
You ever just look at yourself and you think wow I'm alright and next day you look at yourself it's so fucking wrong holy shit
It's weird to get it all out there even though I'm not talking about that much
I love myself and I hate myself and I'm scared to go on medication for my fucking mental health
Cause I want to be who I am and if I'm now who I am then like- cause I like who I am
And if I go on something that will change the way I act, then am I me?
This is weird I hope I ain't said none of this to Sean I haven't told many people this
None of these like thoughts like string together but I don't know
Figure something out
7. i want wind to blow
The Thunderclouds
Broke up
And the rain dried up, the lightning let up
The clacking shutters just shut up
The sound of cars, the smell of bars
The awful feeling of electric heat
The fluorescent lights, there's sacrifice
There's hard feelings, there's pointless waste
I want wind to blow
My clothes off me, sweep me off my feet
Take me up, don't bring me back
Oh, where I can see the days pass by me
I have no head to hold in grief
There's no hope for me, I've been set free
There's no breeze, there's no ship on my sea
8. Ambient Jambient
I've unlocked a new room
In an old familiar house
The floorboards creak
As I hear every marshmallow I step on crunch into a million brittle pieces
It all falls away
Eventually forgotten
I looked around, picking up the pieces
Every last drop that had been squeezed out of the tree of life
The fruits of my existence swirling in a fantastic thunder at the speed of infinity
Rotting before my eyes
Are you lost, little homie?
Need to find your way?
Follow the limelight.
9. Antarctic Sun
Sun rises, a new day
Summarizes, the whole 2k
It's all I'll ever know, it's all I'll live and breathe
So shut your mouth and feel the breeze
It feels beautiful, don't it?
So why waste time in institutions listening to no-nuts
Why do we gotta be constantly supporting or opposing someone
That's why the hell we stay frozen
Under this antarctic sun
I wasted time worrying about relationships
I said "I'm faced with this burning doubt if I should date him"
Once you melt everything feels so insignificant
When you evaporate you're now where all the magic is
It's nowhere and everywhere at the same time
Where nothing and everything has reason or rhyme
Where it mixes but not quite like lemon and lime
I wish I could tell you more about it, but I'm running out of time
Hell is freezing over
I'm standing on the cliffs of Dover
I'm looking down
Under this antarctic sun
What the fuck Sean that sounded amazing bruh that's lit we gotta do something with that
