Small

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

Solid State POS
02:58
|
|||
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

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

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

Bleed It Til It Dies
03:16
|

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
