What do you even want from me?
I can’t tell what you’re doing anymore
When you look at me, what do you see in my eyes
Is it me or my hard, thick rock shell, muddying the conversation
Sorry I’m making it clear that I don’t want to be here
A life of uncertainty leads to a life of fear
I See Your Twisted Figure!

I'm Still Waiting
04:00
|
|||
I was waiting for somebody to wait for me
And oh, I’m still waiting
‘Cuz nothing will ever figure out
No, when trouble’s gone
His ghost always comes back for more
So don’t get too comfortable now
It won’t always be this way
Bad things are coming your way (bad things are coming your way)

You were in the river, I was in the stream
I couldn't fall asleep, so I stayed awake for my dream
In that special place where nothing was what it seems
Nothing, safe for the universal gleam of the water
Feel all around cuz all that surrounds
Are things that are bound for millions of other worlds
While we were floating i thought i heard a sound
Something deep within me had kept resounding, sounding
Something had caught in my eye as well
An image fixed ahead of me had unfixed itself
Something so peculiar, the water turned to steam
Closer, closer did i get to what was happening to me
How can it be, yeah
All coming through me once reflecting
Suddenly it was all disconnecting
I’m floating down a waterfall
When the morning came
I’d felt something else
The shape of a memory that history never dealt
Its like im water-bound
Every single day, but in those
Silent 15 seconds, a rogue tide had shifted in my frame
Surely, once, you've felt the same
Lost yourself to the water repeating your own name
So dense it sank to the bottom
And rolled along the floor

Spool of Sidewalk
04:13
|
|||
We are formless
We are thoughts
We remain contained in the most suitable spots
In the one place that can contain us
Our body sustains us for a little while
I know who and where you are every second of everyday
Every single day, and there’s no escape, no escape from me
Every day, now now
It’s the same, now now
And we’re sliding down
And I don’t know how, but we are
You oughta stop livin’
In the second dimension
Drop bricks on the gas when you turn the ignition
On this paper plane we walk on today
You can either remain, or fly over our graves
Unravel that spool of sidewalk so I can roll down this mountain range unafraid
Every day, now now
It’s the same, now now
And we’re sliding down
And I don’t know how, but we are

Stardust
02:58
|
|||
And when the stars are falling
Will you follow me to my room
So we can watch them fall together
As the world is ending far too soon
So when the stardust falls onto us all
I can die with a happy face
But you’ll keep on living
With a history that you wish to erase
In my life, you died
In my eyes, you’re still alive, and I’m digging you out of your grave
The stardust fell onto your heart
And burnt it to a crisp
It’s felt like this from the start
Nothing’s ever changed
Do you even care for me at all
If you do, I can’t tell
And all i want, all I want is for us to be well
In my eyes, you’re still alive, and I’m digging you out of your grave, (today)
In my life, you died

Skyscrapers
03:21
|
|||
You haven't seen the sun in so long
You've been looking at the skyscrapers
They aren't distractions
You can see the sun in their reflection
Hand rolled weed from your dad's herbal tea
He wants the best for you, at least I think
Though his view of the best is a little warped
He can't find the sun so he aims at the towers
You follow him there, it only takes a few hours
He'd say "I was just like you as a boy"
Yuh!!
I’m waiting for you to come down
But you really enjoy the view
From the skyscrapers
That you’re clinging on to
Artificial heat from down the street
Backseats, midnights
Not much more that you can do
Stretching from Earth, you don’t seem to know
How much closer to the Sun you've still got to go
The further you get from home the colder
you fail to realize how much you’re losing
you fail to realize how much is lost

Garage Band

That's what I said to him
As the swarm swallowed
And drank it's shallow
Glass eyes fogging up it seems
None way ticket to another's dreams
"Frick it, why don't you stick it?"
What should've gleamed It didn't show
No form, forever unknown
Disowned
Stayed sore of the black undertow
It's really not too much to handle
Slip it back on like a sandal
Candle wax and dandelion seeds
It's all that I see now
Forever feed the beast in me
If your shadow’s overgrown
Then the sun must be closer than ever
Whether it be the bags
Under your eyes
Like a bullet from a gun
Or a high speed truck
Pumpin’ that gas
Something struck you fast
And turned your brain
From the horizon
And tripped on forked liquid tongue
Bark bleeding
Bound by barbed wire
Tin remains underground
Vengeful spirit drives all over town
You will believe just about anything
So long as contingency rings
God, an astute vigilante
Got a brilliant forgery

Avalanche Watch
03:35
|
|||
I’m on avalanche watch today
For the people who can’t seem to last very long without it
I’m on patrol today
Can’t seem to last that long without it
What would be of what remains, I could never sustain my disbelief
Oh, is there something you’re not telling me
Is there something you’re afraid of that might come to be
Oh, is there something up your sleeve
There’s something you’re keeping from my peripherals
Oh, what a tragedy, you can’t believe anyone you see in TV

Y'ever put dinisine in your chicken parm and it gave you the Highboats? Well I did; back when me born yesbam, all the nobams and Melvins stogged in the journk and Lillies. Plucking the Lillies and shrom and farming for dinisine for the doogle of the chicken. Prancing in the shadows of fling, caught in the gudge of the marshes, trouble began to retinge, simply. The nobams and Yesbams Harmonized to mistal the stars of Myropo; their mighty home sepito. Thus, when aebedge, their top intergalactica, came to abide by nothing, they scrame. When me was in the midst of Myropo, aebedge caught me in a thoosle. Me, just a small Yesbam, torn inmiddle of kong battle, me scram away; Scram to a Nibles place. Nibles was funten; Nibles was bright and gleery for refuge in Yesbam. Riverrun, past Nobam and Yesbams, Me innow. And by that i miset anae reway. The prophecy has promised me place unk Nibles. In This Saturn Factory, Muh Name Is.

RV

count up the miles have we burnt into the soil
of this beautiful world that runs on oil and
dead things like old trees and tumbleweeds
under the sun we boil
but we can still pretend
the world won't end
no, she's far too beautiful to die
And we're not even there yet
north of the wheel do you sleep so peacefully
knowing what was given up for us
to ride all over the world in our own little bus
Down to the place that I used to know so well
but i'm always returning to rapturous burning
another check off the map, everywhere i've become attached
paranormal echoes keep the demons spurning
the little villages that succumb to their pillages
and i can't help myself it seems
one way ticket to a somber dream
top of the stairwell a moth passed on and
im sitting next to him with a pen im chewing on
put it in a log that you'll never reclaim
there's a sense of desire written all over your face
leave it when you turn up at your 13th floor
let whoever sit wherever around you they chose
share with your parents friends or a stranger
cuz once you're gone you've nothing to lose
leaving behinds all there's left to do
