you didn’t catch me napping because I’ve never been asleep I’ve been up all night, I’ve been going for a week I don’t pick up the phone because who’s it gonna be? someone trying to sell me an extended warranty? good stuff thinking about good stuff today from now on help me to forget where I am unbind me from the hours of man and if all this shit should burn down Then I’ll finally get off the ground I’m gonna get a bad idea in my head, it’s only a question of when you know they said to know thyself, and I know myself just fine I can’t trust myself as far as I can throw myself with these arms of mine
2.
Nausea Suite 01:00
a garden to which you can never return at the mercy of various immutable laws make sure you go down a different way than you came up approach the mouth of the sea you know, when I think about it, I would hurt a fly my true great dream is to survive inflammation in the eyes nice day never to be seen again Everyone keeps burning me burning me in effigy
3.
Baby you’re standing like a cop Ooh, I hate your face All I really want to do Is go drink coffee in space why do you love this shit so much?
4.
I was a lot older when I was younger before the rain cleared the streets I know where you are and I know where you’re gonna be I don’t want the meaning of life I would settle for knowing the point
5.
All the boys are home today walking back and forth tracing all the cables trying to find the source I can hear you leaving I can hear you coming back Don’t know where you’re going you love your little tasks hard to say what’s changed found myself downtown with a little time to spare don’t know where I’m going don’t think that I care tropical plants are dying on the street in the northeast you’re moving in the sunlight by all accounts, you’re free
6.
IRS Psychiatrist all want to have a try at this my phone and my TV I guess that that is it for me I’m here to rob myself of my own inner peace renting a room in the mad scientist’s castle It’s reasonable but getting in and out’s a hassle
7.
I’ve always gotten by on my charms Which, to be honest, has yielded mixed results I’m hearing the voice of a man who was born in the town that he is currently in I’m engaging in behavior that some would say is odd kick the can down the road move these deck chairs around select images with boats kill my whole body down
8.
Too much light in the summer Too many hours in the day travel on the narrow path can’t get this blood out of my veins It takes a lot to move the needle infesting this corner of the world cross the street, oh, just to keep moving wide palette reduced to a swirl effortlessly, intricately
9.
Unsuccessful 01:32
It always seems like magic if you don’t see how it happens waiting to see what’s waiting for me pulsating waves of light, pealing through the clear night I don’t know if I believe anything about anything I’ll just take that piece off the board I don’t want water unless it is poured I don’t want a thing unless it's sure Pile of electronics, purchased new that have no meaning to anyone but you
10.
oh how I hope he does well since I can’t hope the same for myself Jonny’s got a guillotine he’s thrown out his hanging rope keep an eye on your throat don’t believe what they say at the navy yard life ain’t so hard at least not in the way that they say there will come a day
11.
when I wake, I rise from the grave where I got beat within an inch of my life when I say I’m gonna kill someone today I almost never do oh well, that’s too bad gonna leave you behind in the past blacked out name tags blinking in the sunlight It’s not that bad if you close your eyes
12.
if you could remember everything that was ever said imagine the cacophony in your head If you could see everything you’ve ever dreamed imagine the screams bring me home from the hospital walking calmly in the storm heavy clouds will make you sleep have to starve before you eat I suppose I’m angry I suppose I’ve given up on myself no need to thank me I’m more that happy to share the wealth
13.
Brush the crumbs off my uniform It’s dismal outside, to be sure I’m busy mapping quadrant four got to travel to the past and warn myself I’ll probably never be able to purchase a single piece of this planet’s surface I’d love to be among the trees but I haven’t got enough money A child holding on to your leg in the ocean is not going to let go anytime soon jacking up the heat staying out of the street a bullet buried deep in the flesh of a tree
14.
Quite So 01:15
I’ve got sunglasses and an umbrella I’m ready for both the good and the bad I’ve had more than one chance to do things right let’s hope nobody smart ever audits my life left in the dark again everyone goes to sleep at ten the house I grew up in is for sale again
15.
the type of place war criminals go to forget their crimes trying to cure all the problems I’ve had in life in the space of seven nights left on this earth, scratching time into the wall is our father ever going to return at all out here the chaos cannot touch us I wonder how old I really am we are, at heart, a joyous people swan dive from an embattled minaret
16.
Evertheless 02:31
Every day I wake up and look in the mirror over and over again it starts to get a little maddening somewhere between hour six and hour ten if you tried to make things stay the way they are they wouldn’t stay if you tried to make things disappear they wouldn’t go away you can have a fantasy for years won’t bring it any closer to coming true you can break down and split town in tears won’t make anyone remember you
