OPENING PRAYER

The window pane of my browser
Got stuck in outer space
I know its logging my keystrokes
In some unwitnessed loyalty
I can't control much of anything
But maybe command or conquer
This fear of ctrl+alt+deleting
All my past fucked up behaviours
If they can believe in a god
Then I can believe in you
God help us understand this nightmare
Have it mean a thing or two
This bud's for you
And all your ancestors too

BURY ME IN DENIM
03:05

I used to know you
Saw you every morning in the mirror
But now you're vacant
Tough pretend you never gave a fuck
Oh it'd be easy
To act like
I never
Knew your name
Now every time you close your eyes you see an empty headstone
Dear internet please notify all seventeen attending
Auto-create a eulogy from all those shopping sprees
They're pretty sure that casket goes with your eyes
Bury me in denim
Send my memories to all my apps
Check my vitals for a dollar sign
Please deposit me inside your mind
Birthday emails worded more sincerely every year
Oh mundanity, will I tap out or just tap around this screen
Bury me in denim
Send my memories to all my apps
Check my vitals for a dollar sign
Please deposit me inside your head

CHEMICAL FIRE
03:35
|

|
Good morning
I love you
Come over
I'll heat you up some leftover shepherd's pie
Suddenly I feel older
How long will it take for you to kiss some other lips when I die
I'm still alive
Today I'll buy you a houseplant
A visual indicator of our love
If I seem to be distant
I just never thought I could be as happy as I am with you
What to do
If I die in a chemical fire please know
Our love fed the brightest flame
Will you take me to the lake just one last time
Nothing left to do but just smile and die
Yeah I'll leave you my demons if you promise to walk them everyday on leashes
If I die in a chemical fire please know
Our love fed the brightest flame
If I die in a chemical fire please go
Move on without shame

Our days are numbered and I know it well
You keep them cornered in your wishing well
Done dropping hints we think each other might read
When everything I've learned is off TV
I think the reaper might forgive me this time
He knows I waited patiently in line
Turns out this body is just a multi-year lease
And everyone eventually bleeds
The lights on in the bedroom but nobody's home
The demons in your head choose to wait out the storm
And all that's left for me is net positive
And all that's left for me is net positive
The sky isn't falling we're people evolving
We got our own path now
You can't relate to or pressure me into
I got my own path now
Dug myself a deep hole
Please don't help me out of it
I thought I learned my lesson
But feel fine enough to do it
Fine enough
The lights on in the bedroom but nobody's home
The demons in your head choose to wait out the storm
And all that's left for me is net positive
And all that's left for me is net positive

ALGORITHMIC APATHY
03:54

Some sweetheart in china
Is making my new cellular phone
And I’m a bastard for surfacing
This inconvenient tyranny
Please come and break me to pieces
Shotput through my glass house
I just can’t harness the energy / The planets taking revenge on its
To coordinate some positivity / Temporary residents
Will you take to the streets with them?
Buy some goggles and masks
2-day shippings going to be just fine
Now lets unpause this comedy online
They got me right where they want me
Somewhere in between dopamine quick hits
Scrolling half my waking life away, ashamed
Algorithmic apathy
All we are
Stars of our own familiar, comfy TV shows
Read NPR
Convince yourself you’re not the problem - No you never are
In my little room, vocal and immune
I will broadcast concern won't you like and subscribe
They got me right where they want me
Somewhere in between dopamine quick hits
Scrolling half my waking life away, ashamed
Algorithmic apathy

I'm puking
Out of your car, embarrassed
Stow away your smiles in my brain
So I can always cherish
Long after I leave this place again
And we grow old
Still taste your teeth
Haven't washed your lipstick off my face
For a whole damn week
Cigarettes and chamomile
Tease me
Please chew me up and spit me out
Get rid of your dreaming
Thought you were never gonna leave and I know
It's been a couple of long years
Kinda miss ya back here
Psychiatry remains appealing
I'm your trash and you're my laundry
I will call you in the morning real soon
Or are you going home for christmas
Didn't think that I would miss one
Stoned alone in my room
Get rid of your dreaming
Thought you were never gonna leave and I know
It's been a couple of long years
Kinda miss ya back here, baby
Get rid of your dreaming
Thought you were never gonna leave and I know
It's been a couple of long years
Hope you kept my heart as a souvenir
Staring at the ceiling
I got this funny feeling
You were never really there
Empty refrigerator
Said I'd call you later
But you don't seem to care
The trash is piling up
Please forgive me
Get rid of your dreaming
Thought you were never gonna leave and I know
It's been a couple of long years
Kinda miss ya back here, baby
Get rid of your dreaming
Thought you were never gonna leave and I know
It's been a couple of long years
Hope you kept my heart as a souvenir

HEARTSTRINGS
03:57

Pull on my heartstrings
Pull em real fast and real slow
Get me a flat screen cuz I intend to binge all day
Buy up a pound you know I'm flipping profits down in the subway
So safe and sound I ain't got nothing in the game but my skin
Tell me a story
Tell me you're the good and I'm the bad
Make me so worried about this dream that I never had
Show me the evidence
I'll share to everyone that I know
I'll prove my innocence then throw some fuel on the fire
Pulling on my heartstrings
Stretch me out until I forget about
Pulling on my heart strings
My tax dollars and their body counts
Pull on my heartstrings
Pull em real fast and real slow
Get me a flat screen cuz I intend to binge all day
Desensitize, you know somebody just got shot on the subway
I'll prove my innocence, their shade of blue's a little lighter
Pulling on my heartstrings
Stretch me out until I forget about
Pulling on my heart strings
My tax dollars and their body counts

You got me in a headlock
Again, you said, you wouldn't change it
The channel on the TV
Is static, your psychosomatic, I don't mind
But when you call my name
I promise I'll go fetch you anything
My liege
Won't you bring me once more to my knees
Don't wanna be a tough guy
Don't wanna be your rock, afraid to be soft
Where were you whenever I die
Don't squeeze me in one of your boxes
From deep inside your pocket
The gravity of the situation's clear
You're obviously toxic
My therapist is sure of disrepair
But when you wrap your arms
Around all these fragile little bones
Well I moan
Yes I will reap all the seeds that you sow
Don't wanna be a tough guy
Don't wanna be your rock, afraid to be soft
Where were you whenever I die
Don't squeeze me in one of your boxes
You got me high
The price was unknown
You made me cry
These tears I don't own
All that was said
And everything lost
You grinded my heart down
And it shows
You push me to the edge of sanity
I'm desperate for your nod
All this wasted time and energy
I'll pick up where you left off
I'm the bull to your red cape
I'm the bait around your hook
Why do you love what you should hate
Just kick me to the curb
And you push me to the edge of sanity
I'm desperate for your nod
All this wasted time and energy
I'll pick up where you left off
I'm the bull to your red cape
I'm the bait around your hook
Why do you love what you should hate
Just kick me to the curb
Don't wanna be a tough guy
Don't wanna be your rock, afraid to be soft
Where were you whenever I die
Don't squeeze me in one of your boxes
You got me high
The price was unknown
You made me cry
These tears I don't own
All that was said
And everything lost
You grinded my heart down
And it shows

GRAB THE MOP
03:45

Grab the mop
Cuz this one's going to be a mess
Have you even confessed
All of the blood in the water is your own
I'll make it up
The moment when sorry isn't enough
You gave me love and I threw it all up
Please find yourself someone better, you'll be, better I think
Who is worth the ticks of your clock
Our times almost up, our times running out
I need your shadow to know there's still sunshine
I'm a fucking time bomb
Please stop the car
The next service center: forty miles
And if I manage to excavate your smile
Resentment might just slowly erode away
I'm running late
I know you know I'm not sober again
Is this the feeling when we know it's going to end
Please tell your mom that I've loved her like my own
Who is worth the ticks of your clock
Our times almost up, our times running out
I need your shadow to know there's still sunshine
I'm a fucking time bomb
Forget me

Crack another egg over my head again
(Maybe this time we'll get by)
A new type of existence
(Maybe this time we'll get by)
A quick fix
Wasted
Spilling all over your parents basement
Didn't think we'd grow up to be like them
Move ourselves to important cities, feels right
(Maybe this time we'll get by)
Forget the boring backstory, you're out
(Maybe this time we'll get by)
Sadistic
Selfish
Lets hang out when you are back for christmas
Didn't think we'd grow up to be like them
Scream at the top of my lungs
I didn't mean to bother you
Scream at the top of my lungs
I didn't think that I'd forget how to
Throw the car in neutral and give a push
See you now and again at the laundromat
A mortgage
Your first kid
Remember when we would ride the greyhound out of boredom
Didn't think we'd grow up to be like them
Scream at the top of my lungs
I didn't mean to bother you
Scream at the top of my lungs
I didn't think that I'd forget how to
Scream at the top of my lungs
