Caroline 03:52
Caroline You always wanted love Ever since you were young Nobody obliges Now tell me are you free? Would you wanna speak to me? Caroline Do you want love? Do you just want love? Caroline how are you feeling? Is your head still a mess? Have you read anything good lately? Caroline when was the last time you got some rest? Caroline How are you feeling?

First rule of ascension: Keep the rabble waiting Way too long Without light A second skin is welcomed And you can wear it Any time That you’d like As power recedes It gives way to The palace of excess Within Disingenuous Specimen Writhing gut memory In banishment Your poetry revealed 1,000 pain tablets In 99 Helium balloons

Slab! 04:04
It’s in the water It’s a microdose It’s in the food you eat It’s on your clothes It’s in the particles Of the air Everything you touch It will be there It’s in the things you think The things you do It’s all because of me It’s all because of you Everything is tainted But everything can’t last And all this rotten future Will turn into the past Now you don’t know What you’re doing Slab! Afternoons A code, a cue A slab The end result: A slab Slab! A revolt A slab A cue A code A slab Slab!

Are you able to speak? We haven’t spoken in weeks Life, it never peaks It just grinds on Like nothing’s wrong Is there a song You could sing to me? Cos you’re never scared And you’re always prepared For what comes next Diane You’re so much stronger than I am Are you able to sleep? I can’t seem to get any Peace is always just out of reach For me In a psychic coup I wish I was more like you You take the pain And turn it into Something new Something you can stand You always have a plan Diane Diane You’re so much stronger than I am Diane

Well I feel unwell As though you hadn’t noticed It could take A day A year Forever For me To explain I feel no fear I see no evil In my brain Yeah When you’re near To me Yeah When you’re here With me Sure I feel unsure The cure is liable to kill me I can’t bear it anymore It’s so much nicer to pretend A cold sweat runs down Runs down my neck And heals me But that old familiar tocsin Keeps screaming in my ear

Stop staring at the ground Stop seething around Stop staring at the ground Get up and do something Stop staring at the ground Stop sitting around Stop staring at the ground And go outside Stop staring at the ground Stop seething around Stop staring at the ground Get up and do something Stop staring at the ground Stop sitting around Get up and go somewhere Try to get out of the house I used to be just like you But now I ain’t no more I used to be just like you But nothing ever is like it was before Stop staring at the ground Stop sitting around Stop staring at the ground Get up and do something Stop staring at the ground Stop sitting around Stop staring at the ground And try to go outside I think the chemicals Are starting to get to you

Arrebato 01:33
A rapture in the dirt Everything is captured on the film How long do you think you can stay here? How long could you spend in ecstasy? A rapture in the dirt Picture me Wasting away in front of the screen I am feeling trapped I’m in its thrall How long could you spend in ecstasy? A rapture in the dirt Everything is captured on the film How long do you think you can stay here? How long could you spend in ecstasy?

Hey Dean 03:51
If you want them all to suffer Or If you want to make that thought go away It’s illusion, it’s all nothing We’re ready for blitzkrieg Give us a break Justine, It’s obscene How you only think Of just one thing Coca Cola’s done you wrong again And now the world ain’t what it seemed If you want them all to suffer If you want to make that thought go away It’s illusion, it’s all nothing Just the indignity of drawing breath Everyday Give us a break

Harm will come to me In the factory If I don’t watch My fingers Harm will come to me At the grocery store In the piano shop In the revolving doors Harm will come to me If I don’t pay attention And I don’t wanna Get struck by lightning

Concussed 03:24
The languid Move so beautifully When they ever move at all Concussed in the grass The thoughtless Do so much all day And I worry About y’all If you’re asking Concussed in the grass This kinda feeling Just can’t last Doo wop doo wop Adrenaline kick I’m under a microchip Concussed Put me on a pedestal Or kill me now Concussed In some place Out there Absolutely Busted up And cursed The hours pass so languidly If they ever pass at all Concussed in the grass The thoughtless Do so much all day And I worry About y’all If you’re asking Adrenaline kick I’m under a microchip Concussed Concussed in the grass This kinda feeling just can’t last Can it? Doo wop doo wop

Marjorie 02:20
All of these people make me sick Cos I’m such a hypocrite She reads good literature There must be something wrong with her You still working a 9-5? Still feeling more dead than alive? Feeling more bad than good Doing less than you thought you would Living your life On the edge of a knife Marjorie Your sanity’s slipped You’re taking a trip Marjorie You know Your time it will come Out in the sun Marjorie Toss off all your ignorance Or are you finding it permanent? Is there no substance to bliss? I won’t commit to indifference I guess Nothing is as it seems We caught it all on the TV screen Ain’t you feeling more bad than good? Life is just not what it should be Maybe you’re right It’s just one horrible night Marjorie When you’re mine Everything will be fine Marjorie You know your time It will come Out in the sun Marjorie

Out on the Cape, the spit, the bay Hallucination strip, They say Will make the days drip away Time is decay I feel fine I feel great As yet unfazed Life’s dull hum Still Drones on The same Having too much to drink Washing up in the sink Everything Is either Better or Worse than you think Cigarette burns on the couch You’re tonguing a sore in your mouth We’re all the same Within as without In psychic receivership Hallucination Strip Trapped in a day, a year, a life misspent They’re manufacturing consent Look, another chronic malcontent Lashes out Avoid all contact with men And You’ll be better off Than them At any rate, We’ll all be Vermiform In the end Having too much to drink Washing up in the sink Everything is either Better or Worse than you think Having too much to drink Washing up in the sink Hallucination strip Everything is just like you’d think Everything is like you’d think

You know you’re never alone You can always come home And do something about it You can scream and shout it You can scream and shout it You could always Run down the street Without any clothes on I think things are turning around again No hospital stays No black, cloudy days I think things are turning around again You know you’re never alone You can always call me up On the telephone To talk We could take a walk You could always Run down the street Without any clothes on I think things are turning around again No hospital stays No grey, blank days I think things are turning around again
