you're cute but your fucked up
is it cold in here or is that just your heart?
it was different when we started
but now we're just sour old green old olive
white lips pale face i hate the entire human race
-
you and i are awful but i keep trying
i am just a sucker for sad girl saggy ass summer shorts
-
i think i'm cursed for life but i can't prove it
everything i do is a failed movement
i'm a handgun and you are my bullets
you're such a very bad influence
you keep me locked and loaded
i'm outta control i'm about to explode

i like drugs just as much as the next guy
but good god give it a rest sometimes
they say they never cared
and they were never scared
but i can see their
dreams are haunted by the future
everyone is acting like they give zero fucks
and that they just
woke up like this
flawless
a sea full of zen prophets
but
i can see clearly they trying way too hard
-
i think the festival has really gone downhill
since the sponsors and techno music took over
once word got out they came a running
now everything is completely ruined
i wish things were back how they used to be
-
i don't like when car companies
selling us things that we don't need
in hot field drinking warm beer
while the vips ride golf cart and kick up dust in my face
while i’m trying to enjoy rock and roll
-
and frat boys go shirtless to play frisbee
and young girls on their phones taking selfies
they scream peace and love and save the earth
while trashing the place they claim to preserve
i wonder if they are being selfish ironically
-
where everyone was young and super happy
and the future was always bright and sunny
but i think that way about everything

i keep reliving those cold Hawaiian nights
and cloudy California days
and when it rained oh it rained
and when it rained oh it fucking rained
whatever well i wished in that sent me you
it sure worked well cause ur a dream come true
something about...
whatever hell im in i sure deserve
i’m a reckless recluse with delusions of grandeur
-
i’ve got the gusto but no gumption
this is more therapy than art form
-
a chair sits on broken glass, that ironic 90s asthetic
tense up and hit those angles, feel that mildness
that girl is a boy and that man is a lady
which is fine with me, you be the best you you can be
and they’ll always say your best wasnt good enough but who gives a fuck
pay attention more and become poor
my mind is going, i can feel it i can feel it
nothing but bad news from here to eternity
-
my internet is down
and ur all the way across town
and my water has too much iron in it
it tastes like metal in my mouth
im bout th burn down my house
these pillows are a poor substitute for u
-
you fool
i warned you
never shine a light on me
after a century of silence
the walls begin to speak
the walls begin to speak
and now i see
i lost my liberty

cheap seats at a crappy country concert
drinking beers and not fitting in
i don't own a camo hat or pick up truck
i don't enjoy cow shit or pig tails on girls with beer guts
-
im here with you
and we just came to party
and laugh at the crowd as
they act like asshole
but we're also assholes
for laughing at them
so in a way we do belong
in this parking lot
=
we're exactly the same as them
without similar intrests

i think that you
need an outlet to express yourself
and i know its true
you got a lot on your chest
you use a balloon
and you hold your breath for as long as you can
your voice it changes too
and you think funny thoughts
and your head it throbs
-
why is killing yourself so much fun
how come nothing can compare
cigarettes and bacon feel so good going down
we know the risks and still we don't care
-
we need a machine to go places we did not need to go
please leave me in peace i'm happy staying home
we are a disease, we kill everything that tries to live
the sea and the trees will do just fine without us
i promise
-
why is killing yourself so much fun
how come nothing can compare
vodka and cocaine feel so good going down
we know the risks and still we don't care

Bummer

whenever i'm awake i'm always at work
and i still don't have enough for beer and cigarettes
and the man on the tv screen says that greedy billionaires are stealing
why is everything such a bummer?
-
i know you and you know me
we just wanna be left alone in peace
i know something
and you know it too
i just wanna make sweet sweet love to you
-
i think my bed is holding us hostage
or maybe its just me
i don't wanna see the world outside of these sheets
-
finally you drag my sorry ass out to burger king
we order large portions of french fries and onion rings
it tasted good then but now i feel like shit
-
why can't we just move away
kill some billionaires
and take all of their money
fuck those oil men and their fancy suits
they die just as easy as me and you
but i'd get caught and there would be a bounty on my head
that'd be bigger than what i had took from them
-
why is everything such a bummer?

Misery

i once knew a girl with a lot of problems
then she grew up and became wise woman
the last time i saw her
was with tears in her eyes she sits cross legged and says
tell me truely do you think i’m the most miserable person on planet earth?
i reply “do you want to be?"
and she answers “yeah i kinda do”
-
and after drawing on her arm with a ball point pen she said
there are no guarantees in life
except that one about there being no guarantees
pity is easier than admiration
faith means more than facts
time is more precious than any metal
i’m wasting it getting wasted alone
and in some sick way i like it like that
-
i havent seen her for many years
but i drempt of her last night
she was stabbing herself
and standing eating sandwiches
in a waterfall of cash raining down on her body
The money begins to cut her
but she doesn’t seem to notice.
Her shoes are suddenly on fire
but she does not seem to notice.
Her arms fall off but does not care
she loses her teeth and her hair
she dies and doesn’t even notice.
she’s gone but still there
-

attaboy attaboy
get bent, get hot
everybody else is
drinking the hair of the dog
attaboy attaboy
lets get fucked up
-
broken tooth
buried truth
bruised youth
buckle your belt
and carry a tune
what do we have to lose
what do you have to lose
what do i have to lose
ooze confidence and stink of vermouth
-
i'm not worthy
we're all morons
how ugly is hate
you're pretty and i'm not
-
i’m a badass baby
two thumbs this guy
i make all the guys mad
and all the girls cry
i’m a bad bad badass
and i dont even try
yeah right

Shrimp

i found the meaning to life
in a monty python sketch
eating shrimp fried rice
balancing on a knife’s edge
i woke up in the morning light
i yawned while i stretched
-
you know this is the end right?
brace for impact
-
i laugh when i eat
and i sleep through the movie
you dream of tomorrow
while you waste today
we’re ready for a change
but lack the drive to fight
-
brace for impact
you know its over now
count your achivements
its time to tally the score

Pizza

you say you’re happy that you met me
but you’re confused i’m just a fantasy that you’ll grow out of
i’m not a sure thing to bet on
i cant deliver like a pizza place after one in the morning
i’m nothing special i swear on my soul i just like to be weird
i can see your interest peaking but there’s a cliff that will kill you i fear
-
i’m a black hole that wont stop sucking and i will rip you apart
and you will never ever in a billion years figure me out
every star is a sun to someone
i’m my mother’s son and i’m not even a good one
i’m the runt that would get thrown out
-
don’t be enamored of those romantic comedies
they will surely be the downfall of your future family
-
you’re better off
i’m broken darling
save your self
i’m an anchor in the deep blue sea

we sing sad songs about happiness
we write long poems about fractions of a second
those we love can get under our skin
and our fears insult our intelligence
-
i breathed into my sweatshirt to keep warm
you talked about life and staying calm
i drank gin and you ate pizza
we argued like generals in Geneva
we set fire to that xmas tree
and watched the ball drop on new years eve
the dogs were panting and the cats were locked up
and the food on the table could feed us for months
-
the war of the mind is never won
and teaching the truth takes patience
we sneak the medicine in the the mashed potatoes
and those kids thought it was just rock and roll
take twelve words with a grain of salt
spoken from the lips of a tequila shot
hot from the prospect of being liked
scared of the concept of a wasted life
-
this is a sad song about happiness
this is a long poem about a fraction of a second
and i loved and it got under my skin
and i'm scared that i'll be disappointed

i'm not going to bed til it cools down outside
the sun has set but it didn't get any cooler out
-
anthony fell asleep and he's snoring right through his alarm
and i don't know how the fuck he does it
cuz its so fucking hot outside
its so fucking hot outside
-
so i'll read mark twain and pretend i'm living in missouri
the walls are sweating and my eyes are drying up out of my head
-
i'm seriously considering sleeping in the basement
with the spiders and other bugs that hide down there in the dark
