Sucks

It sucks
That we got this way
So unashamed of hate
And it sucks
All the faith I had for us
And it sucks
People I once respected are building fences
And burning down our home
No solution that I know
It just sucks
Sucks to be you now
It's catching up to you
Your castle's coming down
Under the weight of truth
You make your father proud?
After all he gave to you
It's all over now
It all came around
It sucks to be you now
Yeah it sucks
We just gave it away
Like a Tamagotchi in a pawn shop
It sucks
That it fucks with the way
I speak when it's all on the floor
It sucks
That I can't speak my mind
When these fuckers fucking suck a fuck
It sucks
'Cause I believe in a world
That's much bigger than yours
With people and places and all kinds of faces
I'm a little bit unsure of things
But I wanted to believe in human kind
And I thought it wouldn't bother me
Let's repeat the past a hundred million times

Strange

Strange that you ever made it off
How strange that you've ever stayed aloft
And all of the ways that you've ever told me off
How it's so strange you were ever here at all
And I made it for a weekend but it's yours to keep inside
I feel like I have died
For the second time
oooooo
I'm drowning in the white
Hollowed, tainted, swallowed alive
And it's getting so clear
That the end is coming near
And it's close to end of day
So come what may
And it's getting so clear
That the end is coming near
And it's close to end of day
So stay here with me

Your concentration's never been broken
I trashed your scene but you got over it
And none of this ever really seems top bother you
You could cheat, but you'd prefer to wait
You never wanted to be in the way
And I don't think you could ever lie to save the truth
Amos keep your head held high
Some say it's good to be alive
You took no sides, though you cared the most
You feed the pigeons and don't fear the crows
I bet you never really claimed to be a saint
You try to help even though you know
You're no expert in this world of woe
And you've got a heart of gold and I hope you never change
Amos keep your head held high
Some say it's good to be alive
Amos keep your head held high
Some say it's good to be alive
Hold out from the world outside
You were born to break the bottom line
So, Amos keep your head held high
Some say it's good to be alive

Deadlights

I am more homely than you know
I am more shaken than you know
I can't be shaken, don't you know
I can't be needing, I can't know
This taking, all of this taking, I see
This taking all now I can see
Deadlights
All bathed in tangerine
Swallowed in the state you made for me
Making all the time seem all the while
Caught up in tangerine
Swallowed up in hate you made for me
Making all the time seem all the while
Your eyes, the deadlights
the deadlights
It's naked and it's so afraid
Now it's almost January
It's so goddamn cold
deadlights
All bathed in tangerine
Swallowed in the state you made for me
Making all the time seem all the while
Caught up in tangerine
Swallowed up in hate you made for me
Making all the time seem all the while
Your eyes, the deadlights
oooo
Make way for tangerine
You and I, we make a perfect team
Making all the time seem all the while
Caught up in tangerine
Swallowed up in hate you made for me
Making all the time seem all the while
Your eyes, the deadlights

Circling Spider
04:30

I never was to good at any of this
I'm just a boat on it's side
I'm a spider that is circling the drain
But it's one hell of a ride
I'm alright
Where do we go?
Now that we know?
What is my plan?
Where do I stand?
Here, we're on our way out of the way
Just honk your horn as you pass
'Cause all your virtues are bottles that break
They're never going to last
I keep my head down, hold against the wind
A deja vu kinda vibe
Blown all my failures up on me again
But I've been moving aside
I'm alright
Where do we go?
Now that we know?
What is my plan?
Where do I stand?
I've been a million miles away
What gives?
What has it taught me?
I've been waiting for a better day
Or maybe just a way to waste my life away
|

I've been melting
Every single day in the sun
I'm flowing
Out onto the street and down the drain
But it's OK
I feel great
I feel wonderful
Go and fuck yourself
Get away
Another commotion,
Another reflection
I'm sleeping away
My lonely condition
I don't shelter myself
I don't ask for permission
I never wanted all this
So here's my resignation
Yeah, another wasted year
I won't get back
I'm my only enemy
Yeah, I guess I'll sit right here
And face the fact
That I'm a waste in everything
And time ain't on my side
Yeah, another wasted year
I won't get back
Life will be the death of me
Try to fake it
Play the worker bee
At "The Brand Incorporated©"
Accountability to earn my pay
I'll cross my I's
Dot my T's
I'll be wonderful
Go and fuck yourself
I won't change
Another commotion,
Another reflection
I'm sleeping away
My lonely condition
I don't shelter myself
I don't ask for permission
I never wanted all this
So here's my resignation
Yeah, another wasted year
I won't get back
I'm my only enemy
Yeah, I guess I'll sit right here
And face the fact
That I'm a waste in everything
And time ain't on my side (Don't know what's best for me)
Yeah, another wasted year
I won't get back
Life will be the death of me
I'm not in motion
I'm holding the world up with me
Go fuck yourself

Salem (pt. 1)
03:14

Smile for the fun of it
Smile while we're tracing our hands
With our feet in the clouds
Hate for the thrill of it
Hate when you're making your demands
With our backs to the walls
oooo
Oh gorgeous, you've never learned to lie for me
In spite of yourself, you're trying to get by
I'm the man of the hour
And Salem is my home
I won't them eat me whole
Oh Salem
You've cheated me, oooh
You've robbed me
I can never go back home again
I can never see my girl again

Dilapidated
04:24

And she wonders if she'll ever sleep inside theses walls again
You're a mess, you're a mess
Is it you who's lost?
And she wonders if she'll ever be the voice inside here head
You're a mess
Life won't let her win
Though she's trying so hard to keep it together
Walls can't hold out the weather
The roof is caving in
These thoughts that flow through her wires
Hiding the past she left in the attic
The things she dreams of are tragic
The breaker's about to blow
And you don't know who to trust
And all you breathe is the dust
So she tore the floor boards out
And hammered the bricks until the walls came down
This house was such a disaster
The walls were rotting out
She's better now

Stranger

Why are you still sitting there
Why do you never move your feet
Why is it that when you're here
You never say my name
Truth be told, it was never mine to say
Oh stranger
He hates her
She's never yours, you see
(It's over you and I)
It's strangest
How you hate this
It's never yours, you see
(It's over you and I)
(And so it goes
When truth be told
I'd rather die than ever grow old
There's so much less than you could ever see)
How did you like the open air
How did you stay so debonair
How is that I still fear that you'll take the blame
Oh stranger
He hates her
She's never yours, you see
(It's over you and I)
It's strangest
How you hate this
It's never yours, you see
(It's over you and I)
Oh stranger
We're in danger
We've always been at sea
(And so it goes
When truth be told
I'd rather die than ever grow old
There's so much less than we could ever see
And it's rather strange
How truth can change
I'd rather stay than rearrange
The past can stay the same, I'll take the blame)

So you wonder what I do with all my time?
I don't want to come apart or cross to the other side
I achieved self actualization, then I passed it by
If the world was coming down, would you still be on my side?
I just want to grow complacent
I don't want to do anything the rest of my life
I don't want to be impatient
I don't want to do anything the rest of my life
And I don't want to give my life away
To the redo
And I don't want to bet it all on a change
That is see through
And I don't want to bury myself under the weight of all this world's mistakes
I don't want to give my life away
I can't undo
I just want to grow complacent
I don't want to do anything the rest of my life
I don't want to be impatient
I don't want to do anything the rest of my life

Haven't you ever heard of making sense?
Living a lonely life through a dirty lens?
Making ties with only leads?
Mixing lives with bad dreams?
If only you knew to make it work

(I'm ashamed)
I'm ashamed of so much
Breaking bread with those who hate me
Make amends with this great city
Take my pleasure, take my pain
(I'm afraid)
I'm afraid of so much
Breaking bread with those who hate me
Make amends with this great city
Take my pleasure, take my pain
*HUH*
(I'm ashamed)
I'm ashamed of so much
I know you've lain with those who'd save me
Counterfeit like those whose way we've sworn off
Long ago
(I'm afraid)
I'm afraid to be alone
Scratch off the need to feel my own
I've been meaning to take care of my own
In Salem, nobody's home
Nobody's home in Salem
People gather here like rats
Don't step on the broken glass
Lonely cries and scattered ash
Don't break your promise, don't forget the past
Wait I'll admit it's not my fault
It's far too late to join your cult
(I'll admit in Salem)
In Salem, nobody's home
Nobody's home in Salem

and you're stunning all in hand-me-downs
taking all the breath right out the room
and you made it all feel safe inside
shaking like a leaf right where you are
where you are
~**mmmm**~
and i want you to know
you have power over me
and you made it all feel safe inside
shaking like a leaf right where you are
where you are
~**mmmm**~

It's all a lesson in technology
I never did learn my astrology
But still I offer my apology
And honestly, I know that you've studied neurology
I burned myself down in effigy
Hoping to learn a little empathy
I never meant to do so carelessly
Like chemistry, I know you could use some more levity
Yeah
Wait for a moment
You didn't tell me to speak
Thankful we didn't
Stay for a talk of belief
Say for a minute
You didn't ask me to ~feel~
A moment, a minute
We didn't, we didn't
I built myself a house of hydrogen
Deprived my brain of all it's oxygen
Made love to every brown bison
I tell you son, sorry about all of those bison
Yeah
I'll keep myself
When I'm out of line and out of time
Look in Medusa's eyes, turn her to stone
I'll keep myself
When I'm out of time and out of line
Look in Medusa's eyes, turn her to stone
I'll keep myself
When I'm out of time and out of line
Look in Medusa's eyes, turn her to stone
I'll keep myself
It's all a lesson in technology
I never did learn my astrology
But still I offer my apology
And honestly, I know that you've studied neurology
Yeah

Struggle Of The Fool

Where am I going from here?
What do I have left to fear?
Will it consume me all year?
Where am I going from here?
How will I feel when I'm old?
When all of my story's been told
My memories tinted in gold
How will it feel when I'm old?
Should I bury myself in the stars?
Reality mended my heart
And I don't care where just far
Should I bury myself in the stars?
Where am I going from here?
Now that I've conquered my fears
And it won't consume me this year
Where am I going from here?

The naked air feels great on my tongue
This winter will last a long time
You faked an air of unearned confidence
This winter will last a long time
And it's strangest you don't see
The irony
There's snowfall everywhere
It's pitiful
It's strangest
