they never tell you that you
won't know something's wrong
the frog's been boiling
for so damn long
the pot is staining red
i hope my liver kills me
passed out in my clothes
but they'd just pump my guts out
with a plastic hose
as i lie hungover
in the hospital bed
my bank account balance
drops to record lows
you never feel so good
when you're on your own
but when you're out with friends
you'd rather be at home
save me the trouble
and just walk
don't pay for gas and
fuck right off
i've never felt as good
as when we're on the phone
the distance of our souls
is much closer than our bones
let's spare the liquor
and just talk
let's park the car and
we'll just walk
that clipped pretty bad, oh

there's no god
that lets this happen
only humans
for five hundred seconds
we've been gawking
for countless lynchings
telecasting
not intervening
asking why would i change it
what's in it for me
and how could i live
without the police
we'll moralize
your reaction
sipping on a beer in our
suburban faction
she listens to hiphop
in her headphones
but crosses the street
and calls the police
walking my dog has
never been so easy
genocide over spilled milk
i'd rather stay out of it
i just wanna grill
i meant the burgers
ignore the bodies
you can sell your soul to the devil
or bleed out and starve on the street
and if you try to find
a new way to eat
the pigs will kill you in your sleep
they put spikes under bridges
new armrests on public benches
we can all sleep in ignorance
blissfully locked in apartments
you ask what i do for a living
it's really what i do for death
and i just feel trapped
between bosses and landlords
one eviction or job loss
away from "just trying" meth

i'm the champion of the game of limbo
'cause i can sink into the floor
and take comfort in the safety
of a million locked doors
and hallways stretched
as far as i can see
finally
there's no one to bother me
when he was on the edge
i fed him a pack of lies
in the hopes something i said
would just keep him alive
well shit it worked
'cause he's got a beautiful life
and now i'm the one
picking at my insides
he says the meds don't make me different
i still am who i am
i'll admit i'm proud of him
for doing what i can't

this time
i'll catch it before it arrives
this time
i know what it's like
i will not suffer
'cause i cannot feel
i will not suffer
slow descent
much quicker this time
i can't repent
but i will still try
i will not suffer
i cannot feel
i will not suffer
but i know who will
coffee in the morning
and sleeping pills at night
i've been running circles
around a light i can't ignite
guess i'll resolve to drag
my feet out of my bed
guess i'll probably wind
up blacked out this weekend
again
high on dimenhydrinate
the world began to slide away
i've been trying anything
just to feel a slightly different way
it was a bad call
like most the ones i make
there's not a million drugs
that can rectify all my mistakes
living life reckless
with no eyes to future days
if i tell you i'm sorry
will you trust that i mean every damn word that i say
i'm not lying
when i say i don't know why
i'll try to fix this
didn't mean to make you cry
again

free to take it slow
falling
never let it go
holding
on the LFO
moving
smile for photo
cheesing
buzzing that is low
begin (speaking?)
it is not ok
ok
don't fall in
[indecipherable] oh my gosh
please fall in
get it on camera
i mean save it for myself

ah
let's take a train to the sea
we'll make it our movie scene
i'm feeling spontaneous
you're bleeding hard work and drugs
ah
shut up train

the music will begin shortly
are you sick and tired of being hopelessly depressed
are you sick and tired of suicidal ideation
are you sick and tired of existential dread
are you sick and tired of the sickeningly cheerful graphic designs on your computer
are you sick and tired of inspirational quotes from board rooms
are you sick and tired of staged reality shows
are you sick and tired of watered down news with royalty free music chirping the deaths of human beings in wildfires
are you sick and tired of user friendly programs reducing functionality in order to appear more orderly
are you sick and tired of pandering celebrities taking advantage of you for money that they don't need
are you sick and tired of infomercials that drag on forever and keep you from the content that you actually want to consume
well, we do not have the product for you
brain cylinders
guaranteed not to work
and we keep your money
will you guys quiet just for a second

must you
fake that you care
do not lie
why should i trust your
fake statue stare
love's in short supply
hold close
friends who are near (dear? i can't remember)
don't let go
shed off your old clothes
give in to fear
all the snakes
shed below
ooo

there's no going
back to the way things were
i have to get
out of here
is all i thought
for four long years
there needs to be
a discovery
that flips my world
so i can see
this place for me
is a sweet release
where i can be
myself at ease
i don't think i'll ever leave
there's no going
back to the way things were
i have to get
out of here
is all i think
consumed by fear
i need to be
alone tonight
so please will you
turn out the light
you never see
the inner me
who's so fucked up
beyond belief
put on a front
and play the part
but in the end
pour out my heart
this whole thing has just gone full fucking full circle on me
just fuck it
there's no going
back to the things were

i don't mind
the pain that you cause me
as long as i
keep feeling harmony
i won't stop
loving you
i won't stop
chasing you
cloud my conscience all the time
in the darkness where i'll hide
it's not hard to see
you don't care for me
it's all in my head
i'll keep feeling dead
i have this memory
lying on the floor
i can't tell you why
i still felt ignored
this song is problematic i know, i wrote it when i was a teenager give me a break

hello
they say it makes you sociable
so i'll ingest some alcohol
the person i pretend to be
to get my fix of sympathy
write my story on a wall
paint a picture with a song
swear it isn't me at all
hide inside a bathroom stall
poured myself too strong a drink
now all i can do is think
i'm a fly upon a wall
cannot speak but sees it all
sink into the great abyss
ignorance and listlessness
we are all but kids again
thoughts are simple and pretend
woo
it's coming

[indecipherable]
i guess it's just the drugs talking to me about myself
but who is myself, is my sober mind really me
'cause my sober mind makes so many counterintuitive decisions
maybe all we are is the choices that we make and nothing beyond that
there's no inner alignment or motive
i get lost in my own head
someone just tried talk to me while i was writing but i blew her off
obviously a lot of it was 'cause i'm drunk
all i could say is "yeah i'm fine"
i'll never be genuine because of social restraint
i just zone out listening to the superficial drama around me
i should go home

this time
i'll catch it before it arrives
this time
i know what it's like
slow descent
much quicker this time
i can't repent
but i will still try
i will not suffer
'cause i cannot feel
i will not suffer
but i know who will
you can trust me
to fuck this up
you can rely on me
to always let you down
every chance you give me
is another chance [indecipherable]
i went down to the river to catch my thoughts
you can trust me
to fuck this up
you can rely on me
to always let you down
every chance you give me
is another chance i'll waste
[indecipherable]
this time
i'll catch it before it arrives
this time
i know what it's like
slow descent
much quicker this time
i can't repent
but i will still try
i will not suffer
'cause i cannot feel
i will not suffer
but i know who will
