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

Nausea Suite

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

Get To My Ship
01:12
|

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?

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

Timelapse Flower

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

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

Trouble At Home?
01:20
|
|||
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

Here Come The Polygons

|

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
|

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

Jonny's Got A Guillotine
01:27
|
|||
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

Undying Enmity
01:33
|
|||
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
|

Keeps Me Warm
01:51
|

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
|

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
|

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

Cloud Of Helicopters
01:21
|
|||
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
|

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
