Sunshine

Bless your calloused heart
But I live to beg your pardon
Flash that tired smile
And lay me in your devil’s garden
Feel a little sunshine
In spite of your past lives
And if it feels right
Give a little of what you got away
I can’t say for sure
But we’re not who we were before this
When you’re feeling small
Remember that it’s not your fault
Remember the taste so sweet
Buzzing like honeybees
You can’t take too much
If you go slow

Spit shined sticky yellow sun
Oppressive air under the skyline
I’m the sickened summer fly
Sucking on day old skin and headlines
Crashed in a sea of neon lights
I haven’t seen a star in some time
We want so bad to understand
We wring the juice from our eyes
Can we save the dark sky
From the new pollution
I’m trying not to go blind
In my personal delusion
Can’t see the man on the moon
Nor the buffalo
And when I look up homie
There’s no starlight glow
There’s always somewhere that
You think you need to go
Bamboozled by
American hustle
It’s a bullshit world
It’s all spectacle
And I speculate
There’s more fools gold
Nature boy
That’s what’s magical
But there’s no magic
When the tricks get old
Regenerate me
In a world we all can see
Let me tell my friends
Paradise has eyes again
(Or we could stay inside all night)

Bad news on my breath
I gotta smoke it out
Bad teeth in my mouth
I gotta smash it up
I was a snake, or something vile
It’s a shame, I can’t remember now
But I still love
Could I still love
Bad taste on your tongue
Why don’t you spit me out
I talk big shit
I got nothing to back it up
I’m the shame and the sin of men
The mistakes of my future son
But I still love
Could I still love
And I’m made up of parts, not quite the sum
Worth less for all I’ve done
But I still love
Bloodied knuckles and blackened eyes
You wear your bruises like a disguise
Because what you fear the most
Are the words stuck in your throat
But you won’t give up the ghost, no
You just carry it alone
And you still love
Serpents in a row all devouring our tails
We are hungry for injustice and we’re loading up the scales
We signal revolution but we only know the motions
Will our children kill for water, will they ever see the ocean
When the oil runs out we’ll go deeper down the well
Until we kill the children buried deep within ourselves
But at the end of all the burning we’ll be crying for our mothers
If we’d learned to love ourselves maybe we could have loved each other

Digital Self
03:46
|

|
So I tried
A casted smile but couldn’t read the room
Sold my rights
The market price of my attention grew
I’m just a shadow of my digital self
Traded my boredom for a comfortable cell
I feel it slip away
Disassociated
Spaced out
Inside a shallow and disinterested world
Machine dream
Where was I when they were stealing time
Cut all ties
Imagine all the love we leave behind
Inside
I’m just a shadow of my digital self
Traded my boredom for a comfortable cell
I feel it slip away
Disassociated
Spaced out
We’re all so shallow
Any outsider is an imposter
Stick to the side roads
No one can spot you

Something Good
04:12
|

|
Such pride mistaught
You did what you thought you had to
I spent my life
Etching the same lines that divide you
I wanna erase my mind
So I could be understood
I wanna come back to you with something good
I just wanted to love myself
I did the best I could
I wanna come back to you with something good
Don’t look back now
The trail of dead
Inherited sickness
Proved to be fatal
Can’t go back now
It’s too late
I kept my worst cards
Under the table
I’ve been so blind
But the sons in your eyes
Could try to cut the cyst out
Such pride and shame
I’ve been too afraid
To put my fucking fists down
I wanna erase my mind
So I could be understood
I wanna come back to you with something good
I just wanted to love myself
I did the best I could
I wanna come back to you with something good
Nurture the blame
Nature, just the same thing

Wax poetic
Let’s go ahead and clear the air
Wax poetic
Tell me how you feel
With a glass the size of my body
Tell me how you found clarity
At the expense of my emotions
Wax poetic
Abandon is the remedy
And we’re moving through the motions
Wax poetic
Tell me how you sleep
Feelings that cut like stripes
The seasons will change your mind
Between the space and time
You whisper songs in my ear
This is gonna change for the better

Diorama
03:54
|
|||
|
I heard about your god
Found him hanging by a thread
Can’t say I was surprised
Isn’t that what we expect
I heard about the war
Had to turn away in shame
I watch it through the glass
And we go on selling faith
Ooooh
What is can never be undone
Ooooh
Tomorrow shines on everyone
Tiny existence fills me full of dread
Tiny music fills the diorama in my hands

Cold Case
03:44
|

I am the one you know is there but you can’t see
I am the rot inside your head, the words recede
I am a cancer of the soul
I grow strong as you get older
Saying
You will never be free
You will never be free
There is a light that no shadow can take away
Tired, fragile as my spine but it can’t break
Feel it stinging on your tongue
Like the taste of your first love
But I’m curled up in your throat
I won’t let the sweetness go
You will never be free
You will never be free
Tie me to a memory
You will never be free
You will never be free
You will never be free
You will never be free
It’s what you want to believe
You will never be free

Got that itch
So I scratch on pink tile
You gotta crack your head open
To see who’s inside
And I’m not that sad
About anything really
I just hurt where I can’t quite feel
A strange anatomy
Stay awhile
Don’t blame yourself anymore
Stay awhile
I don’t feel myself anymore
Feeling grey
Like a waterfall at midnight
If I could just pull the full moon down
To light the way out
And I’m not that sad
About anything really
But I’d help you before myself
Until it hurts me
Stay awhile
Don’t blame yourself anymore
Stay awhile (until the end)
I don’t feel myself anymore
Back to the earth I go
Cause deep inside I’m not the same
Back to the earth I go
I’d rather die than feel this shame
Back to the earth I go
Cause deep inside I’m not the same
Back to the earth I go
We all must die, just look away

Smile for me as you’re tied to the bed
Never could sleep without the ring in my head
When I’m stuck down there you wanna know
If I am numb, but you don’t care
We’re all stuck down and you wanna know if we’re alive
A humbug in heat
In shadows you please
Impersonate me
You are the disease
In bed, with the chemicals staining the skin
And your memories fading away
When I’m stuck down there you wanna know
If I am numb, but you don’t care
We’re all stuck down and you wanna know if we’re alive
We’ll please you
And leave you feeling low
We’ll feed you
Enough to keep you slow

Sprawled
05:06
|
|||
|
Strangers in a strange world
Top of a hill, staring out
Voices in the pale
Paid me no mind til you came down
Sprawled out in the street
When all of the lights turn green
Fireflies graced the sea
They’re nothing now, a memory
We’re made of mistakes
But we could let them fade
When you let your light break through
Nobody shines like you
Where could the street ever take us now
Back to the start where we meet?
Future’s only gonna pin you down
So let’s stay right here for now

Paloma a.k.a. Ketamine
05:28
|
|||
|
Dissecting a dead pig
To see if the heart’s intact
Made the incision
Nothings gonna bring it back
I was a child
Seeing what made me hurt
It took awhile
But I think I found the nerve
Ketamine dreaming, take me home
Bury me deeper inside my soul
I’ve been a coward
Demons went undisturbed
But I spent a lot of sunshine
Digging my skin like dirt
I found a mirror
At the bottom of the well
Might be the first time
I ever really saw myself
Ketamine dreaming, take me home
Bury me deeper inside my soul
Carry me through tomorrow
Carry me now
It goes on and on and on
