24 Hour News

I turned on the 24 hour news
It’s giving me the blues
The empire crumbles and falls
My world used to be small
The spiral begins
And I invite it in
Again and again
The only comfort I can find
Is to take a walk outside
And when I breathe the pine
I remember that I’m fine
I’m caught in a loop
Cant help but consume
More than I can chew
sometimes things get desperate
television is my only friend
The cement looks like heaven
But just when I’m ready for the end
The cycle turns over again
The end was the predictable part,
But now I wonder how it starts

Cubism
05:25
|

Compound, refract, compound refract
My heart becomes a tesseract
Break me open, split the cracks
Let light shine in cut through the black
The tv drones I’m home alone
The cell decays, stare at my phone
My broken brain pulled from my skull
The empty stare, the void the null
No one around to hear the sound
My teeth make breaking against the ground
My bloody bite I’m spitting spite
You’re right you’re right it’s trite
Carve out disease fill with cement
Or you’ll become what you resent

Bleed Me Dry
03:26
|

walk right up, step to the cusp
swallow me whole swallow me up
nothing to find the clock unwinds
it's killing me, I'm killing time
if they look I'll die
look me in the eye
I think I hate more than I love
I've learned to live with the burn of
my hunger with no need to cry
consuming me from the inside
it keeps me alive
too tired to try
I want, I get, I soon regret
chewed to the bone and soaked in spit
I'm feeling faint, my fist clenched tight
drain me until my lips turn white
you can bleed me dry

Agoraphobia
03:29
|
|||
I hate this room, it’s closing in like an ugly tomb
It’s got a chemical smell like rubbing alcohol and purell
This air is stale and dry I wish that I could forget how to breathe
I could use an escape but I guess that I’m too chicken to leave
I’m spinning out, I can’t control my stupid mouth
I talk too much, I wish that somebody would shut me up
I keep on rambling but I just can’t seem to find the right words
I hope there’s a point ahead but honestly I’m not really sure
Well I never know what to do with my hands
And I’m never sure if my jokes will land
I am sorry that I showed up late but
I am guessing that it’s okay since nothing important depends on me
Maybe it’s all in my head but just to be safe I think I’ll stay in bed

Getting Lost in Omaha

Getting lost in Omaha
And finally feeling free
I got my head in the clouds and
My eyes on the marquee
Not knowing who I am but knowing who I’m not
Life keeps spinning around while I lose my spot
I drove through Kalamazoo
Just to feel closer to you
It didn’t matter to me
That there was nothing to see
Now I can’t tell whether it’s day or if it’s night
I think I’m probably going to lose this fight
I got the news in minneapolis
A distant phone call that said it all
How could it be that this could happen
I wish I’d been there to break your fall
I have a feeling that like I need you
I really don’t know what to do
Now I’m trapped in Indiana
Getting drunk again off rhubarb wine
I remember the day so clearly
The time you told me it would all be fine
I miss all the people that I used to know
I don’t understand why they had to go
Getting lost in Omaha
While the world goes to hell
Things have gone from bad to worse
As far as I can tell
And just like that it seems I lose another friend
I think that this could finally be the end

All Down Her Back
02:55
|

I am burdened by love
I am frightened of my shadow
I'm a glutton for punishment
a rigid smile hold that pose
hold that pose!
self is one, one is many,
take until there isn't any
do I feel that I am special?
do I feel that I am smart?
I know I wake up afraid
I know you'll tear me apart
rip out my heart!
self is one, one is many
take until there isn't any
well I'm the queen of the world
I'm swinging the axe
I'm the cruelest girl
I'm miss mary mack
I'm making heads roll
all dressed in black
self is one, one is many,
take until there isn't any

Crash Test Dummy
03:53
|
|||
Wrap the belt around your knuckles
And take a swing at me
I am falling down, Bloody knees
because I turned the other cheek
I’m certainly stronger than the sticks and the rocks
But I don’t exist just to take your knocks
Well I feel just like a crash test dummy
In your passenger seat
Your foot is on the gas as we hurl forward
Into the concrete
I’m at the mercy of your unchecked desire
The settling ash in the wake of the fire
The violets are silent and the roses are dead
There would be no violence if I weren’t a threat

Summer Beach Hit
02:45
|
|||
Why don't you cool it with the cool kid shit?
Forget a sad song, write a summer beach hit
No one really cares what the lyrics are anyways
Party on the beach in the shadow of a tidal wave
Everybody's sad cuz we're all gonna die
put your feet in the sand and your hands in the sky
Dance half-naked on the beach in the sunshine
tear down the mountains turn it all into a coal mine
money money money murder murder kill kill
Running up your tab like you'll never pay the bill
the tide's going out but we're still having fun
there's a big black wave and it's blotting out the sun
When the wave comes in it's gonna come fast
castles in the sand aren't built to last
we can't retreat cuz there isn't any high ground
listen to this song it's a brand new old sound
Dance in a circle around a bonfire
civilization on a funeral pyre

Yeah, I'm Bitter
03:15
|
|||
yeah, I'm bitter
can you blame me?
I'm not a quitter
but it's hard
when every single day,
I'm hit another way
so yeah, I'm bitter
yeah I'm bitter
and yeah I'm angry
I'm up against the bricks
I'm gonna scream
and I'm gonna kick
I am not afraid
and I'm unashamed to say
yeah, I'm filled with rage
I'm filled with rage
desperate times call for
desperate measures
I won't give up, here it comes
I've had enough
