Bury Me
04:07
|
|||
|
i've wept at ground zero
and slept in the rubble
Watched the moss grow
on the unmarked graves
am i broken?
am i broken?
there's no button
to turn me on
i’m exposed
ripped at the seams
to my cardboard bones
till I’m buried
tripped on my lifeline
mouth full of grit
slide into my belly
watch me sink
my lungs rub
against my rib cage
like dry bearings
every breath screams
i’m exposed
ripped at the seams
to my cardboard bones
till I’m buried

Wasted

Life is wasted
When you’re away
Exploring the darkest space
Roxys broken-
Snorted and spoken
Leaving me before you died
What do you know ab me now
(I wanted what you needed)
What do you know ab me now
(I’m mad as hell and I miss you)
Stuck in and out
Two minds don’t
make a right- it’s a finger trap
The love you take
Equals The love you make
Being charming isn’t love
What do you know ab me now
(I wanted what you needed)
What do you know ab me now
(I’m mad as hell and I miss you)

I look both ways
depending on how much space
depending the time and place
or if I’m w you....
Calling all the cannon balls
Shoot me or shoot the walls
Fredericksburg bar town crawl
Is shaking up me w you
I wanna be loved- loved by you
You tell me my heads a maze
I zing it w a gaze
Sweep the compliment away
I like being w you
Backlit is your silhouette
I know where to place my bets
This life race isn’t over yet
I wanna live it w you
I wanna be loved- loved by you

Take it or Leave it
02:25

i just can't get you out of my head
(take it or leave it)
or everything i said to you
(take it or leave it)
wallowing at your feet
stumbling in the streets
all i hear you say is
(take it- take it or leave it)
I just can't get you off of my mind
(take it or leave it)
all i see is what's behind me
(take it or leave it)
i'm feeling incomplete
crossing adjacent streets
and all i hear you say is
(take it-or leave it)

It's Ok
01:44
|

|
Running around in your old neighborhood,
it jogged my memory as it would
How did I get here- I don’t know-
I’ll run in the street and say go car go!
It’s ok I die
I crossed out your name five lifetimes ago
The empty space is. Graveyard now
What was I doing then, I don’t know
Crossing roads w bitches and hoes? yeah
It’s ok I die
I see where I am and what I left behind
Everything sucks but I love my life
What am I doing here? I don’t know
Walking around I watch me go yeah
It’s ok I die

Bleed
02:31
|
|||
|
Gray wet wool blankets my brain-
so heavy my neurons are firing blanks.
I felt the friction from the stars in the sky-
Sparks flicker only to fall short
Hail to the left, hail to the right, one two three is how I bleed tonight
I follow cracks that lead to the lie-
I question all directions as they pass by
I’ve worked my finger to the bone
Lived to see what I was worth and some
Hail to the left, hail to the right, one two three is how I bleed tonight
I wake up and can’t shake off this life
Lingering fuzz as I run in place
I’m partly cloudy with a chance of rain
C'mon, bring on the lightning
Hail to the left, hail to the right, one two three is how I bleed tonight
Fire crackers light up the sky
Ghost wars and ideas spill in the night
We walk on roads concreted in shame
Just waiting for the war to start up again
Hail to the left, hail to the right, one two three is how I bleed tonight

Rock & Roll Repeat
03:30
|
|||
|
we were raised by wolves
our reflections in the moon
a distance to earth
swimming in the night
and i eat and sleep
and i rock and roll repeat
and i eat and sleep
and i rock and roll repeat
we nestled in the dirt
crying to ourselves
not meant for this world
scrapping for a fight
and i eat and sleep
and i rock and roll repeat
and i eat and sleep
and i rock and roll repeat
Roaming in the heart
No direction to myself
Looking for love
Vying for the right

Forever Yours

I wish I werent stuck
I still don't believe in karma but
You wanted to escape your life
Yeah the cancer but your kids, yr wife?
Part of me has moved on
Part of me is a TORNADO
Tryn ta get out of this cycle
Uprooted and shaking unearthing and quaking
I wish you weren't dead
I still have wounds from ya messing w my head
Didn't protect your family
You enabled the oxy oxy/ the enemy
I wanted you to fight
For your family me your life
For sober goals and healthy vibes
Fuck you and yr ego
Fuck you and yr ego
I wish you weren't dead
I still have open wounds messing w my head
Should’ve Protected your family
Not oxy oxy/ the enemy
I wanted you to fight
For your family me your life
For sober goals and healthy vibes
Fuck you and yr ego
Fuck you and yr ego

Good Time
03:04

moss expands around my shelter in the snags
bare otherwise and recovering
a cancer time bomb ticked and exploded
there was a war, a battle, or something
brittle twigs snap but i dont need them
I hear running water somewhere.
Follow the path my ancestors left
leading me, leading me away
My earth still quakes and the tremors feel the same
Follow the mapped out grooves I hate
My heart’s still pounding but I am here
Lighting up the battlefield
I honor you in loving new
I honor you in loving true
We had such a good time
(It rly was) a good time
We had such a good time
until the end the end the end

so where ya going? can I go too?
dontcha wonder when the world's gonna melt into a glob of goo?
so why ya running? well why aren't you?
ain'tcha heard it's the word from the nerds that make up the news?
how will ya get by? what will ya do?
when "the last is the first," and vise verse ain't gonna come true?
I am an ally, ya want me for an alibi
we better make sure it's quite airtight
law is houndin' jackals are surroundin
all I can say is baby you're astoundin
i don't mean to nitpick, this is gettin cryptic
wakin up bright n early slappin on lipstick
i feel so pretty i feel like a babe
they moralize and cry to shut us away
people are desperate, won't let em in
aberration of a nation can't cope with its original sins
why are ya frightened? why are ya scared?
algorithm's on a mission and they wishin thatcha better beware
how will you survive? remain intact?
when emotions n commotions rise the ocean and we're way past facts?
so whatcha doin with all this rage?
use your heart, brand new start, play your part we're settin the stage.
how do you speak out? what will you say?
silence is violence it's a crime we all commit-tay
what is the answer? i wish i knew
don't know how but for now i must bid you adieu
entropy is gonna be
the end of you and the end of me
it's a cataclysmic chaos curse.
the slow heat death of the universe
so as the sun burns out and gains mass
just remember this too shall pass
