afraid

i am afraid of the things in my head
i am afraid of the things under my bed
i am afraid of the things in my closet
i am afraid of so many things
i am scared. i am petrified
i am afraid. i am afraid
i am afraid of complex equations
i am afraid of intense situations
i am afraid of my own emotions
i am afraid of so many things
i am scared. i am petrified
i am afraid. i am
i am afraid that i won't make it through the week
and i am afraid that this year could kill me
i am afraid of so many things

stay in place
02:45
|

i'm getting sick of wearing black
i can't stop swimming and my back is killing me
i guess you could say i'm living the dream
these symbols don't make any sense
a rotting jackolantern sitting on the porch can rest
so why can't i? i'm going blind
i stand up and see little hints of day
there's nothing more that i can say
i'm getting sick of smoking weed
i'm getting sick of all the hair growing on my feet
an unexpected journey: i am the dragon in this story
i'm trying hard to let it go
all the things that i have done that nobody will know
nobody will know
i stand up and see
the ones i love walking away
and i stay in place

love song for the devil

pull me closer hold me tighter
you can hold on to that lighter
i've got strange, wicked desires
let's go try to start a fire
my hair's made out of barbed wire
i'm a barker, not a biter
pull me closer hold me tighter
pull me closer hold me
and they say that anarchy is the only fair system of rule
and i think that i agree
but i think controversial things, like everybody needs a place to sleep
and i'm so scared of the future
if there's a future, fuck the future
pull me closer hold me tighter
hell will warm me with its fires
i've got questions. where's the writer?
my head's spinning in the dryer
my heart's made out of barbed wire
let's start a christmas tree bonfire
pull me closer hold me tighter
pull me closer hold me
and they say that we evolved to forget everything
and that's the saddest thing to me
but i think that we were destined for great things
but there might not be a future
if there's a future, forget the future
there's nothing left. there's nothing left
the earth will choke and then we'll die
but when you laugh, yeah when you laugh
just watch those toxic children cry
i'm in a cage that's called my time
is this intelligent design?
i wanna stop and press rewind
don't worry: everything is fine
don't worry: everything is fine
pull me closer hold me tighter
you can hold on to that lighter
i've got strange, wicked desires
let's go try to start a fire
my hair's made out of barbed wire
i'm a barker, not a biter
pull me closer hold me tighter
pull me closer hold me
and they say that anarchy is the only fair system of rule
and i definitely agree
tear it down, tear it all down from sea to shining sea
there's still a chance that there's a future
let's tear it down and build a future

flesh and bone
03:41
|

my mind is an illusion made of mud and constitutions
my personality is made of sludge
my body is just something that i need to keep me going
but i never seem to get myself to budge
the mirror is a painting that i think is quite pretentious
there's something wrong with the composition
my head is a sculpture, but it's scratchy and lopsided
and i need someone to fix this disposition
i am god and i am soil
i am shit and i am stone
i am nothing i am nothing
i am flesh and bone
i'm the king of all the windmills
i am nothing on my own
i am no one i am no one
i am flesh and bone
flesh and bone
and no one wants to be a slave to sinners
and no one wants a reward for a dollar meal
my constant state is sweating in the winter
a brain of mush, but i've got arms of steel
i'm the devil, i am rotten
i'm the map, i'll guide you home
we are nowhere we are nowhere
we are flesh and bone
i'm the queen of proper grammar
i am nothing on my own
i am no one i am no one
i am flesh and bone
flesh and bone

remember?
02:15
|
|||
i remember things written in my dreams
those scary things
the bites and screams
i remember everything single thing i've done
i hurt someone
one day they'll come
i need someone to
i need someone who
i don't remember yesterday like i do three years ago
one day i'll know
come to my show
i don't remember camping, but i remember the fire
let's just get high
just take me higher and higher and higher and higher and
i need someone to
i need someone who feels like i do
could it be you?
i think it might be you

i, promise
03:31

i fell asleep woke up in tears
i don't recognize the face in the mirror
i went to bed i went to hell
i do not recall where i stood or where i fell
i will survive
i will survive
i will survive i promise you
every day, i'll feel alive
call me freddie mercury, cause i'm in retrograde
i'm trying to get paid. i'm trying to save face
scratching at my face, losing lottery
i feel like a demon
last night was a mystery
i will survive
i will survive
i will survive i promise you
every day, i'll try as hard as i can try
call it a delinquent dream
call it the father, the family
call it another word i cannot sing
i wanna think of myself first
i don't want to assume the worst
and i don't want this to sound rehearsed
and i don't want this to sound rehearsed

you got her pregnant at the prom
and you made it his problem when you didn't get along
you held your son's hand at your wedding
and you shoved cake into her face like it was a beheading
where did the time go?
where did your bleeding heart run off?
why did you mumble that you love her?
where did the time go?
where did your ambitions go to die?
at least you're trying not to cry
you see the resemblance in his eyes
and you see the reflection when she cries
you strike him once and flinch a little
and you see the reflection at the bottom of your bottle
where did the time go?
where did your bleeding heart run off?
why did you mumble that you love her?
where did the time go?
where did your ambitions go to die?
at least you're trying not to cry
they leave you crying in the corner
and he starts to wear a dress. she tells you to call him your daughter
you sneak into their house and set that dress ablaze
and you slit both their throats covered in cake
where did the time go?
where did your bleeding heart run off?
why did you mumble that you love them?
where did the time go?
where did your ambitions go to die?
at least you're trying not to cry
at least you're trying not to cry
at least you're trying not to cry

divide and multiply
04:12
|

i'm running out of phrases
i'm done going through phases
i will sit here with a pen in my hand
i can't remember words to make you laugh
i'm running around the edges doing laps
i will stand here with nothing on my mind
and absolutely everything bottled up inside
there's a numbness aching in the bak of my skull
there's an earthquake coming to destroy my home
i'm an ocean, synapses making tidal waves
one day we'll incinerate this place
i'm sorry for the dents in your car
i'm sorry for my memory of stars
i will watch you walking away
hanging onto every word you say
i am not the man i used to be
womanhood never truly defined me
whatever i am, i am an ugly sight to see
i am not the person i should be
there's a drawbridge hiding all the wealth in the land
i'll destroy it like the castle was constructed out of sand
there's an ashtray sitting at the bottom of my tongue
one day i will finally be someone
i feel so sorry for the person i've become
there's a presence waiting in the back of the room
i can feel it calling what is there left to lose?
there's an office. i'm told that if i go there, i'll survive
i will say it now: i'm not afraid to die
i'm told i only smile when i'm high
at least i can divide and multiply

one more day
07:02
|

i feel dread
a smiling stranger is in my head
don't draw on the walls or the magnetic bathroom stall
i feel wet
my soggy socks squish when i step
blast the radio and gain a semblance of control
there's a bomb inside the building
there is nothing i should fear
my best friend is trying to kill me
and i can trust what i can hear
my head's gonna crack
under the weight of being that
the streets look so empty
i guess there's something out there to scare me
i wanna go back home
at least i know i'm not alone
500 mg i know exactly what i am
there is nothing i can teach you
that you don't know by now
this life is not a double feature
and there ain't no slowing down
hear the clock it keeps on ticking
and I see me at five years old
you know me i ain't that realistic
but i love the brave and i love the bold
i am not afraid to be alive for one more day
one more day
one more day

pulse

it's hard enough to feel so pointless
it's hard enough to feel like nothing's gonna end
i see the news and i feel so sick
i wanna drive my car straight through this bend
i know a place where we can hide
where we can feel so safe inside
where we can love ourselves tonight
i hope they do not burn it down
i hope they don't burn me alive
it's hard enough to see this happen
it's hard enough to feel it swallow you up whole
and i fucking hate those crosses burning
and i fucking hate seeing my friends become just names upon a wall
i know a place where we can hide
where we can feel so safe inside
where we can love ourselves tonight
i hope they do not burn it down
i hope they don't burn me alive
i know a place where we can hide
where we can feel so safe inside
where we can love ourselves tonight
i hope they do not burn it down
i hope they don't burn me alive
and i hope i can see you around
don't let them fucking take you alive
