Small 02:08
It’s not art unless it’s torture Then this must be your last supper I watch in disbelief as you tear out your own hair Nothing ever works out it’s not fair Cheap guitars and old computers Let’s pretend we all have futures I am disposable if I’m anything at all It’s my turn to feel small Does it make up for the love lost Or the words you can’t take back What would JC do if he was Here to witness how you treat lesser of them Please forgive me your royal highness Know this hour is not my finest I wanna rise above but I feel so beaten down I wanna give up and crawl back underground I am disposable if I’m anything at all It’s my turn to feel small Your abuses won’t abate Just learn how to communicate It’s only friendship after all I’m not here to be made to feel small

Life or death decision Urgent in nature To speak up or sit down The former for sure You’ll get where you need to go With no time to spare A crisis averted A quiet ascent Up through one more switchback Then we can pretend I saw what I came to see But no one was there A shame that you lived it A secretive road No hiding in plain sight But your story told Descending down marble stairs Oh no

This solid state of mine Is scratching out a ten watt hum while I struggle to keep my thoughts straight This POS will never translate my boutique state of mind The closest that I ever came to greatness was only half mine And we’ll forever share that moment I resign to leave it all behind and live another life What’s inside this tangled mess of wires Won’t keep us warm tonight Awaken from the dead But only when you kick the cabinet Like jarring my old memories If one spark could tell a story Of burned out faulty connections I’ve learned from all my corrections And from dwelling on the failed sounds I’d most likely fix in post but Not this time I’ll leave that world behind and live another life What’s inside this tangled mess of wires won’t keep us warm tonight It feels like a melody or a space saver for now If I cared enough I’d write some real words down

Slumlord 02:18
A puke shade of brown A vague sense of purpose I am slumlord I don’t have to work I do what I want I go where I want to Long as you pay the tab I don’t mind just scraping by and by Now the walls are closing in on us We’re trapped like mice Trying to stumble our way out of this maze Who is left to help clean up this mess We have too many sins to confess The well’s runnin’ dry The carpets are soaking up our memories by the half pint I leave when I want I’m afraid to come back To more holes in my walls Always patching, scraping by and by Everyone I know is here right now My worlds collide oh no Like a space garbage asteroid The end is near and no one sheds a tear As we burn up in the atmosphere Let’s blow up everything that we find out in the yard Boats and buckets rusted cars Dead birds records it’s gone too far Sincere apologies to those who may end up burned In our dumpster fire I think it’s time you go You’ve outstayed your welcome And you’ve drained my soul dry Here’s the water bill goodbye and bye Now the walls are closing in on us We’re trapped like mice Trying to stumble our way out of this maze Who is left to help clean up this mess We have too many sins to confess I clearly don’t know better The lord of slum I’m not

Fast Otis 02:08
Our journey was not meant for the meek Known for the bravest of hearts are we Oh but our foolish souls Find us alive where the cold wind blows I can’t see the future or the road Both hazards and turns no one could know My fists are clenching now Watching the ice freeze on the bow I don’t wanna die alone Out here on this winding road Snow outside the car but also in I guess this was totally worth it Our lives for a moment of glory If we should not survive Tell all my friends I never tried I don’t wanna die alone Out here on this winding road Snow outside the car but also in Slow down

Droplets 03:01
Late to the party First time in my life I don’t care Empty spaces don’t make me long for yesterday places I see these four walls every day Why not paint them Paint them with droplets from Droplets from my mouth hole Spray Mouth hole Drink Mouth hole Fell of the planet I thought I floated off alone for a minute I didn’t belong anywhere but here Absent I won’t show up at all Home is where the rest of the world is not Rest of the world is not Nothing’s wrong Nothing’s wrong with this Everything’s normal Been too long Or not long enough Either way what is time

Fruit Basket 02:23
You said if I didn't love everything about This place I should leave Pack my liberal ass up and move anywhere else And take my friends with me Now a couple years have passed, I'm calling your bluff I'm getting out of Dodge Now there'll be one less progressive breathing your air And poking fun at god 'Cuz I'm getting out Getting out Always said I would if that shit happened and then it did I'm getting out Getting out Getting out as soon as I can and I may not ever come back Floating up the runway there's a tear in my eye I will miss you so But it's been a long abusive relationship It's time to let you go so I'm getting out Getting out Always said I would if that shit happened and then it did I'm getting out Getting out Getting out as soon as I can and I may not ever come back They drive their tanks to work Pack heat at the store All fruit from the basket I deplore That's why I'm getting out Getting out You're not out of the woods that shit's going to happen again I'm getting out Getting out Getting out as soon as I can and I may not ever come back

Threshold 02:33
In my brain I fight Lie awake at night All the input I am fed Background process in my head Skips and spikes Bits and terabytes Only when I free up space I can place names with a face You can’t relate, that’s precisely the point Haze and fog Inner dialog Buffer set too high to speak Suffer through my latency Finally shutdown me-time meltdown In safe mode I’m still functioning Still can’t relate, that’s exactly my point When you call my name don’t forget to say it twice And make it loud to get past the noise gate threshold Once you’re in, I’ll render you my friend You found a permanent place in my head One last time, Mute this brain of mine Bypass everything I see Flog this tired analogy I can’t relate to myself at this point When you call my name don’t forget to say it twice And make it loud to get past the noise gate threshold Once you’re in, I’ll render you my friend You found a permanent place in my head

I haven’t slept in a real bed for weeks Let’s start a band they said I’m soaking wet Changing the brake pads in a walmart parking lot It’s not like what I thought A mall food court on life support Is all the nutrients I need and I will Bleed it til it dies Next thing ya know Halfway across the world I don’t know where or when At hospital I’m way too young for this shit Bandaged drugged and tired At least I’m uninspired I’d cut my leg off if I could If you were in my shoes I know that you would Bleed it til it dies
