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
lyrics

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 04:42
lyrics

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
lyrics
buy track
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

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

masculinity (the cake song) 05:22
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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 04:02
lyrics
buy track
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
