Lounge 02:19
His breath smelt like cigarillos, And her breath smelt like wine To everybody watching, They were having a real good time It was his last breath, Little did he know, She kept a 45 in her pocket, And oh boy was it going to blow He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Talk me some dirty slang" So she leaned over with her finger on the trigger, And yelled, "bang, bang, bang"

Carved his name on your head, But you better fuck your man, Or you'll be canned Liquid eggs, A headache, And Dirty hands Drilled his face in your eyes, But you better fuck your man, Or you'll be canned Liquid eggs, A headache, And dirty hands

Girl in my dreams, You always keep me company You're always in my head, But i really need you to leave How'd I get this bored? Why did I plant this tree? Thought it could be blessed, But it's a fucking mess It's caught in my hair, The worst kind of treason But I don't really care, I wait for a change in season But oh my god I can't think on the fly, And oh my god, the problem is clear in the sky I learned to shut my mouth, Clogged it up with paper towel I cut up my knees, Trying to get you out of here How'd I get this bored? Why did I plant this tree? Thought it could be blessed, But it's a fucking mess It's caught in my hair, The worst kind of treason But I don't really care, I wait for a change in season But oh my god I can't think on the fly, And oh my god, the problem is clear in the sky

Brittle and bare, The bed he lied on there Every night until dawn, For purposes so wrong Take this pill and the glass, Don't refuse the past, It comes and gets you fast Oh as I bleed, Behind the door you watch, And let me go Take the pistol and the seeds, Hide them good from me For I will be back, With a wrath too deep to see Fire lights the road, And low and behold, They sent the wolves on me Oh as I bleed, Behind the door you watch, And let me go As I walk into the room, The crowd starts to bend, I can see for hours, But they can't see what's in front of them Oh as I bleed, Behind the door you watch, And let me go

Constant flame, Burning in a grave Always balancing either and or It's the same old place, Just fumbling with fear, And tree's that know what is wrong Grass that grabs my air, Air that fills up my lungs With everything bending, I run I'm in the way of gravity and nature's grace, I'm in the way, I'm in the way Pull me out of this womb, Open the windows of this room I'd scratch my name on the wall, And watch nature stand tall Combing my hair with a crucifix, I feel like Arya, Drinking piss I'm in the way of gravity and nature's grace, I'm in the way, I'm in the way

Pissed Jeans 01:53
Grew up in pissed jeans, Now I'm just trying to stay clean Pulled on to a side street, Covered in concrete And everything, Fell around me Balanced joy with grief, And pulled out my teeth Grew up with slit wrists, Now I'm just boiling tea leaves Forget everything I did, Forget everything I'll do A smell of garbage, A blood stain, Is all that will remain

Either Or 02:52
I can see an old man, In a valley, Eating something, That he made His face is tired, Cause he don't want to show you what he's done to me, Or what he'll do to you His skin is covered, In dirt from labour It's built up over, All his time And I don't want to look into his eyes, Cause I'm afraid to follow in his demise So when I get hungry, Find a way to stop me, From getting angry, At Limos And then I'd see, It isn't sympathy I've been chasing, But vacancy in a state of relief And then I'd swallow, My pride like yellow jackets, And follow Edesia It would take a while to pull, But I would find that I am quite full Been building a room, Filling it with prophecies And it almost seems done I've got quite a collection of detailed notes and coloured slides to scope, But there's a tunnel, Leading somewhere, Pulling on my hair, Telling me to stay And the worst part about it is, I'm not sure if I believe in it
8.
Don't want to sound empty, But everything I feel isn't there- It's gone, Somewhere I'm unsure of, But I don't care- There's nothing, To be happy for, I'm just a glare from the endless light that's cast upon the ground Don't want to look dead, But where else can I lay besides this grave? I guess, I could take a walk or catch a train, To where, My feet won't burn and solace is even in pain But does such a place even exist? Don't want to sound angry, But everything I do ends up free Looks like, I'm not good enough to be released, Or even, Given the chance to relocated this stream of thought, That rests inside of my brain Don't want to grow old, Cause what's the point in staying around, And seeing, Everyone I know enter the ground? Please bury me first cause I don't want to hear the sound, Of crying, Coming from all of my hopeless friends Don't want to be me, A boring, lonely excuse of a man who can't, Make up a decision or make a plan Why don't, I drop out of school, And join a clan of people, All balanced on a beam?
