So Humid
01:25
|
|||
|
the cold's blowing in
my open window
but it's been so humid
i wouldn't care if i froze
and when you come home
you'll say 'why's it so cold?'
but it's been so humid
i wouldn't care if you froze
ok, that's not true
because then who'd come home?
i would feel so stupid
for not keeping the window closed

Little Stingers
01:25
|
|||
|
who broke the glass all down my street?
you cut up my dog's little feet
and i hope we never do meet
i'll end up in county and you'll be picking up your teeth
and i've never 'won' a fight
even if i was 'right'
it will always linger
little stingers
i wrote this song thawing out tilapia
i only listen to intrusive thoughts and three six mafia
i stole this pick from a shop in seal beach
little red alien heads, i took one of each
and i've never 'won' a fight
even if i was 'right'
it will always linger
little stingers

Two Tall Cans
02:30
|
|||
|
wanna change for the better
but you're just too cool
wanna be a different fish
but you stayed in the same school
i'm gonna see you tonight
and make it right till daylight
gonna set the tone just like we've known
overgrown, overgrown
i took much shit and did much harm
with two tall cans hiding under each arm
and growing up is so immature
you'll just lose yourself as the years blur
left all the pain
but not all the hurt
at least john darnielle
liked my darkthrone shirt
i'm gonna see you tonight
it may go right till daylight
gonna set the tone just like we've known
overgrown, overgrown
i took much shit and did much harm
with two tall cans hiding under each arm
and growing up is so immature
you'll just lose yourself as the years blur

wasting christmas night

when i was small
i looked up to you
and you tore me down

i just wanna stay away
from everyone forever
i wish i could start over
without you there
you crush me
you crush me

to this world
born to pay
born to prey
carnal slave
fight to live for
a peaceful death
futile promises
on our breath
demon's playground
misery is cash
rape forever
eternal lash

Blue for Green
02:00
|
|||
|
i played the game
i paid with change
lost you so bad
was it prearranged
i killed the hate
too little too late
the dog already
ran out the gate
falling feels like flying
laughing feels like crying
when i talk to you
feels like i'm lying
binge and purge
face submerged
i will emerge
kill the demiurge
my hometown
is burning down
they're all dead
and in the ground
all these regrets
and karmic debts
i'm so drunk
i'm not through yet
it's obscene
manic dream
tit for tat
blue for green
binge and purge
face submerged
i will emerge
kill the demiurge
hoo hoo hoo

clap break for the pander monkey
fake story trust fund junkie
leashed jester tap dance for me
i'll hoot and holler and slap both my knees
shut up and do your comedy
shut up and do your comedy
i'm just a pedestrian, what do i know?
i could never speak in a microphone
who's funnier than these fat men?
except for every one of my friends
shut up and do your comedy
shut up and do your comedy

I'm Glad You Died
01:52
|
|||
|
feeling some way i don't think i should
but i'd rather be whole than good
if i got no reason to cry
maybe you should wonder why
don't care if all i say is constructive
rather live my truth than forgive
and you crossed me so many times
i'm not gonna lie
i'm glad you died
i'm glad you died
i'm glad you died
i'm glad you died
someday you're gonna be me
and have no choice but to see
the other half of what's true
sure as one day i'll be you
i almost wish you were still alive
so you could do a little more time
in that fragile bitch ass mind
in that little pit you couldn't climb
i'm glad you died
i'm glad you died
i'm glad you died
i'm glad you died

Crab Man Is Here
01:37
|

|
crab man is speaking to my cat again
on the ceiling he ripples like water
and my cat's yellow eyes
are tracking him
crab man is here
crab man is here
crab man is here
crab man is here
one witching hour i was awoken by silence
and crab man was glowing out there
looking inside my window
he said:
i'd ask for a cigarette but you look so comfortable in there
crab man is here
crab man is here
crab man is here
crab man is here

my mind's not my friend
i don't ever wanna think again
cuz all you do is confuse shit
i just wanna lose it
innocent as can be
until i caught your disease
at the end of the day
it wasn't important
something's changing inside of me
cut in half by that machete
this is normal apparently
i started dying in 2003
all the bruises on your back
they will say that you attacked
fester
in their secrecy
and i keep the real truth
by god i can't show it's proof
frozen in place
incomplete
in that orange sunshine
witness of all the maligned
welcome to planet earth, kid
watch what they forbid
it's not fair when you're young
and everyone looks away
but there's not much they can do
it isn't important
something's changing inside of me
cut in half by that machete
this is normal apparently
i started dying in 2003

Little Anthony
03:21

your old house on street view
you broke your ankle falling from that tree
it only goes back to fall of '07
you moved by then but i still see
the older kid living in the attic
piles of bikes in the empty lot
farm equipment rusts in the soil
urban legends new kids aren't taught
oh little anthony
i'm so sorry
oh little anthony
i'm so sorry
i know paul treated you right
but life never did treat you well
we were kids, we could be so mean
added flames to your little hell
and i looked up every address
to see if any houses sold
to see if i could take a look inside
the old rooms where our legends were told
oh little anthony
i'm so sorry
oh little anthony
i'm so sorry

We Share Eyes
01:48
|

|
hey did you see all the cherry blossoms
from the red train due for the airport
skies were grey but still shone in a way
like the day we saw a real monet
cause i swear we share eyes
i know that yours are mine
it's all one somehow
you're never gone
there's only now
i hope you see how i picked myself up
from the clown you knew sullen and weak
took the thorns out my side and i must confide
only i'm to blame, all else is a lie
we'll all burn in the sun
celestial abduction
and there are no reruns
it's all dumb - just have fun
cause i swear we share eyes
i know that yours are mine
it's all one somehow
you're never gone
there's only now

as you glide second avenue
will you beat the rain
you've been uncertain
if not for your migraines
burnside in your window
host of all your belly pains
beyond the curtain
is a broken astral plane
the lights are off but someone's home
the lights are off but someone's home
the lights are off but someone's home
the lights are off
formaldehyde in a goblet
for to soak the ugly brain
aging like cheap bourbon
spewed and circling the drain
red tide lucent waters
glowing like a virgin swain
remember i found you
fore i knew it was in vain
the lights are off but someone's home
the lights are off but someone's home
the lights are off but someone's home
the lights are off

seems you'll always be a slave
to this vessel time blindly engraved
pressures and heedless pressures craved
forgotten by everyone soon in the grave
and only the unlit vermin crawling
and chewing the flesh clean to your skull
are without the vain self-deceit
required for eyes so wide and dull
eyes that once lit your young mother's heart
and watched the blackjack pine dance in gusts
high in the dark mountains of the west
where the red sun burns its dusks
the days were full but you never awoke
circles of meaninglessness never broke
in southern evenings the bullfrogs did croak
but you remained a false god's blind joke

i've been alone so long
i don't know how to be together
we've been apart and life is hard
and everything i do
without you
without you
without you
without you
to separate myself from you
is perfectly impossible
to state the pain i feel apart
it's just unstoppable
without you
without you
without you
without you
it might seem easy from your side
that i'm not all that rattled
it might appear from what you hear
my heart's not all that settled
without you
without you
without you
without you
i tell you now i hate this song
yeah every line it's true
cause long as i'm still singing this
i know i'm singing here
without you
without you
without you
without you
i'm sorry that i could not be
home with you
i'm sorry that i just could not be
home with you
i've been alone so long
i don't know how to be together
we've been apart and life is hard
and everything i do
without you
without you
without you
without you
to separate myself from you
is perfectly impossible

Geisha Quilt
01:58
|

|
girl you know my smile's broke
my whole life is one bad joke
and i've never heard
the punchline
sitting on a wall my father built
thinking of my grandma's geisha quilt
and the graves of all
her canines
something's in the water i can tell
sipping on uranium from our well
and the moon she's on
a bad rise
the cat pissed on our dinner table
the gnats drank all the wine
they live their lives through basic cable
so we'll wake up after nine
don't like milke i don't like coke
whenever i run i almost croak
and my calves are not
well defined
driving to the beach to shake the funk
thinking of my grandpas dirty drunk
and the tolls along
the coastline
the cat pissed on our dinner table
the gnats drank all the wine
they live their lives through basic cable
so we'll wake up after nine
