What you doing up and out?
Its 4:30 AM, middle of the week.
Don't you know this time of day
is reserved for people like me,
creatures of the night.
For I am what the night hides,
I am the beast.
We sleep when were awake
and live in dreams. OH!
But I sure am glad to see you,
Doing what you do.
For the glow of your bedroom
i'll slowly get to know you.
We have yet to meet,
but that's alright with me.
I tend to make a scene.
I guess i'll wait and see.
There's a bigger bitch to build on,
chewing at my head.
I can't stay near my dear,
that counter feeling selfless.

If there's one thing on my mind,
at the present date and time.
When out comes harvest moon,
I slowly drip inside you.
Floating through the streets,
my head begins to ring.
I hear my own ears bleed.
I've seemed to lost my feet.
I should have a seat.

Lobotomy

Tonight I got a free lobotomy.
I swear it was quite the show.
They sat me down in front of a girl onstage
and she sang out my brains as I drooled,
then I clocked out.
It was so warm, yet you were icy.
The only thing in my head, is my god I kissed that.
What can I say I like the way you move,
you make it such a show.
Your lips across your teeth, you speak to me.
How I hate when you go, but I love to watch you leave.
It was so warm, yet you were icy.
The only thing in my head, is my god I kissed that.
Can you feel me?
I am melting on this kitchen floor.
I sang to you its not a sunroom anymore.
We jump through time,
you remember this one most you swore.
So i'll bring it back if you'll sit with me some more.
A busted fuse inside my chest,
it cuts my lungs with every breath.
Now circuits short to process you,
my hard drive written with worms and glue.
These circuits work in parallel,
making life a living hell.
So i'll shut my mouth, this wires run hot.
Unsoldered patches crackling pots.
Can you feel me?
I am melting on this kitchen floor.
I sang to you its not a sunroom anymore.
We jump through time,
you remember this one most you swore.
So i'll bring it back if you'll sit with me GO!

Daddy's Little Girl

Don't you say a word, i'm letting go.
Did you feel compelled to tell me?
That I was living safe and sound,
though underground.
I curse those years.
Now that I know just what your made of.
Don't tell us who we are.
For the record you couldn't live up to,
all that I expect, you know what I expect.
There's more talent stuck upon my shoe,
so i'll scrape some on your chest.
Then at least your friends will know you.
If I could build a time machine,
I swear to god i'd go right back to August 1999.
Where i'd see me in the car,
sick in love saying; mom she will be mine
and then i'll rip out both my eyes.
It may have taken three years, to burn that chapter of my life.
I have gotten use to looking around and losing both my eyes.
This is my written contract of taking everything back.
Every kiss, every smile, every touch, every mile.
If I could build a time machine,
I swear to god i'd go right back to August 1999.
Where i'd see me in the car,
sick in love saying; mom she will be mine
and then i'll rip out both my eyes.
Do we really get to choose now?
Is it really in the hands those you claim
If it's so than won't you show me
who we are to blame?

Touchy Boy
03:43

Alright i'm glad thats dealt with.
Appreciate your understanding,
I know you're so touchy boy.
But I am off to bed now,
if you could just forget now.
For I am not alone.
In fact he's where you were,
a matter of hours ago.
This is me forgetting all those moans into my ear;
And somehow, resistance made it more.
Our bodies throb till sunrise,
exasperated pure eyes,
tear me to the floor.
My conscious pulls me out,
you beg just one minute more.
Oh god, oh god what have I done?
oh i swear i was just thinking about you
bettering myself, a matter of hours ago.
Do you know what you said to me,
as we trembled, sticking to the sheets.
You said, "I make all the rules tonight,
boy better make it worth your time,
my bodies a one night theme,
oh no you found the real me."
At least you've been so fabulous,
every single day.
Since, as I scowl in bitter misery,
you just smile away.
You just smile away.
But won't you smile this way?
Oh no, one look it will be the death of me.
Just promise me, you won't forget my name.
Cause I swear we will run this town someday.

Better Now
03:33

Dear mom i'm told that i'm better now.
I learned how to drain it out.
Medicate in the face of my cancer in the room.
Generate the cliche of our air so soon.
Where she'll poor me my own dose things of fine.
Pull the blinds, shut me out and I go down.
Does this self sound familiar?
Must you scratch it on the door?
Made me trimming the way, everything I could say,
down the list of mistakes, now i'm sore.
Did you come this way because you miss me?
Did you miss the way I made you feel?
Cause I think we both now,
I got good at that!
Look back now and i'm laughing kid
and I got just what I want.
Not that I pass on more,
playing dick for your whore.
I'm just glad that I'm lost and in love.
Did you come this way because you miss me?
Did you miss the way I made you feel?
Cause I think we both now,
I got good at that!
Suffocate delusion

So Familiar
03:21
|

|
I think I kissed the perfect lips,
but cloudy memories.
I wanna find the girl who owns those lips
and ask, if she'll "Marry me?"
You see, those very lips I kissed they said,
"Forget about me."
And I've tried, oh I've tried.
So I observe and search in hopes i'll find wait,
yours should seem
So familiar, maybe just one try.
Want her and I'll find, that tender mouth that touched mine,
soft as lighting strikes.
Your plus I'm minus.
Jumpstart my body,
surge through my veins.
I haven't been the same
since our engines ran in tune.
You pulled me into you,
what others see as actions,
a cause of chemical reactions
and I'm running out of fuel.
As I broke down and then I must have hit my head.
Those lips are gone now and it's plain to see.
My life without them has been misery.
Perhaps if I could taste you, one more time,
maybe I could fall asleep tonight.
At least for awhile, cause just seeing that mouth smile,
it reignites my soul.
You're still plus and I'm still minus.
Jumpstart my body,
surge through my veins.
I haven't been the same
since our engines ran in tune.
You pulled me into you,
what others see as actions,
a cause of chemical reactions
and I'm running out of fuel.
As I broke down and then I must have hit my head.
Cause I can't remember whose lips I had,
but now nothing could compare.

Crickets
04:54

|
I haven't tried to sigh about this
cause theres no words that can say about the sick.
Brain needs to end.
Those sick will laugh the night away.
So pull the string, flick on the lights.
Just take me to a better time
no where there was one
and that might take, that might take some time to find.
Like dead leaves in the fall,
I'm slowly decomposing into nothing.
Being over taken by your beauty, your the spring.
Flourishing in every way.
Taking pride and making perfect days.
As I decay.
Since your death, I reasoned I'd be
a textbook example for all to see.
Physically removing discrepancies.
Starting with my tongue
and then I'd work my way to the boys downstairs,
who've caused every grief and every care.
I bet you thought I'd saved you my heart, I'm away.
But it's keeping me sane,
managing my chore of a brain.
So tell me what's natural.
Nearly every act shooting acid down my spine.
As it's filtered through my skewing mind.
Watch me as I sulk this writhing slug
and i'll watch you climb from the hole you dug.
Keep my well frayed trust,
i'll be molding over.
Cold and damp
crickets break me down.
Keep it reveling.
The hot blood run down my chin for you my friend. Okay.

Wander

So I breathe you in, blow you out.
Close my eyes and count to 10.
I thought that I could find you then.
So I breathe you in, blow you out again.
Close my eyes and count to 10.
I thought that I could find you then.
Sometimes we see the glass it sets half empty.
Sometimes we see that it's half full.
Either way someone should top that sucker off.
Consume it's contents in one gulp.
We could take the glass and smash it in the street's
or worship it like gold.
Disappointed either way it's just a glass.
It's nothing to be told
So I breathe you in, blow you out.
Close my eyes and count to 10.
I thought that I could find you then.
So I breathe you in, blow you out again.
Close my eyes and count to 10.
I thought that I could find you then.
But I can't help but wander.
No I can't help but wander.
