Sometimes I have nothing to say
Sometimes I get in my own way
Everybody tells me I don't feel
(And even when I do it's prolly not real.)
Have I been here before?
Watching you run through an open door?
Couldn't you tell me?
Wouldn't you tell me if I have?
Oh baby why won't you talk to me oh baby you just want me empty oh baby you won't say anything oh baby why won't you answer me
I feel
Feel nothing
Feel nothing
I feel
--
Sorry
It's cold
It's not
Aloof

Before we tie the rope
We check our horoscope together
You said it'd be fun and
We won’t tell anyone about it;
Like the other day
When you locked yourself outside
Compelled to kneel and pray
For all the birds that died
And guide them to heaven
With the strength of your mind alone
Because their spirits get lost in the airwaves
And they'll haunt
Our cell phones
And plague us with visions of building nests
And eating worms
All on a mound of dirt that loops around a ball
Of gas that burns
Alone
Thru the dark
There's no such constellation
To frame this conversation
Between our distant bodies
In laundry rooms at parties
I never thought you’d show!
(with glitter caked on your face)
I watched your antlers grow
We looped around in space
Alone
Thru the dark
Don't be cruel
Won't it be cool?

City of ice.
03:48

You're like an icicle
You're like the ice that pulls the
City beneath the ground
We're taking off our clothes
I think you got my head fucked up
The leaves are turning brown
And when the sun comes out
We all will drown
You'd think it's an epidemic
We're dropping left and right
You should quit watching Tarkovsky
To weather the sleepless nights
You know it just gets your head fucked up
And leaves you feeling down
Like when the sun comes out
And we all drown
(on second thought well i really like the ending of "Nostalghia" when the camera keeps zooming back and the guy is there in front of the house with his dog in the snow and it's like ohh my gawwwd)
"Hmm... maybe a little pretentious..."
No! 'cos I'm not pretending you ever feel like the world is ending? and nothing's moving? well melancholy is soothing at least to me i mean even if it's just boring and your head gets to nodding and you're snoring and your body's hastily rotting and you sleep with gurneys of downtrodden pillowtalkers that creep phantomwise into your life
...
There's no escape it's made of ice it changes shape just to screw our heads in a vice and crush em like grapes --
-
I had a bicycle
But then my bike got stolen
I think it was a government man
And both my eyes are swollen shut
So I can't review our plans
On how to leave this town
And if we don't leave soon
We all will drown
--
It gets my head fucked up
It gets ahead
Oh yeah

Shadow play.

You already tried that
You should have remembered:
It wasn't working
It led you to nowhere
It went in before you, locking the door
Please. Turn away
I’m not your shadow
No, no. Not today
I'm not your shadow
You're stuck in a bathroom
But I cannot enter unless I’m invited
You slip in your own blood
I look at my body, cold on the floor
Please. Turn away
I'm not your shadow
No, no. Not today
I'm not your shadow
Please. Turn away
I'm not your shadow
Maybe
(you're in denial)
Maybe I am
I am

You push me in the geyser
Individualizer
Now my sense of understanding is gone
My sense of where I'm standing is gone
There is no tyranny in the state of confusion
But I don't know what I'm standing on
You open up a window
And I fall in a volcano
Now everything I planned is just gone
Everything I could handle is gone
I fall away from all that is an illusion
But I don't know what I'm landing on
It's gone
What I mean is gone
All gone

Segue to heaven.
04:25

To heaven you'll depart
And there you'll meet a girl who expands your mind
And opens up your heart
You'll find the puller of your unseen strings
And all the little things
You left behind
To free of you
You knew it from the start
It's written on the wind that screams your name
Through the dark
And hidden in the rain
You'll struggle to forget yourself
And wonder if you could be anybody else
If the world would
Forgive your pain
--
I miss you

The way you left me
Led me to question
My whole existence
Did you forget me
With the
Kibbles and bits in the mud?
Neither the flesh nor the blood
Led to an unlocked door
Now it's you
Lying with someone else
Trying to find yourself
Hoping there's something there
What if there's nothing left
To make you feel special?
Within this landfill
Where just a handful
Can handle you
And how you're full of yourself
And now you're with someone else
I thought you were different
And you could save me
You talked your game up
Just to betray me
Or did I betray myself?
Thinking I'm someone else...

Bae
I didn't know
Somehow I missed the sign
Maybe next time
But alas!
What is time?
Well
Everyone reckons that it’s just an illusion
As we're submerged in shadows we seek
Solace in linearity
(nearing the singularity)
Wolves!
(scaring the children)
Piglets needs houses to live in
Just for(e)closure
Can I call you tonight?
If I blow
Just use our safe word:
"alright"
Tell me it'll be all right?
Tell me it’ll be all right?
Tell me it'll be all right?

What you're thinking I'm saying
Is not what I'm really saying
It's kinda getting me thinking
That you're not paying attention
I shit the bed that we lay in
I almost forgot to mention
When you were at the temple praying
To Buddha
To take away the pain of Samsara
I ordered takeaway
And I can get it tomorrow
But they didn't have the gluten-free
So I did what I had to do
And ordered just for me
And not for you
Is there room for two
On your bicycle?
This whole week's supposed to be cold
As an icicle
Or maybe I can borrow it...
But if pride's not something that you can swallow, well
I didn't ask you to stay
You know it's not gonna last anyway
It's difficult to grasp what you say
You wanna thrash about in the gray
You wanna crash and i wanna play
Well for a minute the only thing we wanted to do was lay
In the cellar blowing out the cartridge
Of Earthbound 2
And now pillars of ice surround you
Within the palace where i found you
--
I'm gonna live on the moon
And watch seasons
Of our favorite cartoon in 3D
Whilst Union Square and DC turn to dust
And the Megabus just burns up and rusts
It's forlorn and torn in this gusty
Black morning and warns to not trust me
Lost children and pixies bust me
You'll feel sick betwixt what's just me
And a bedroom that stays messy
You know that we'll rot within unless we
Go into the cold and start undressing
--
(when the sleeper awakes
The dream dies
The heart breaks
The soul cries out
For another one
That won't come true
Until you do
When the sleeper awakes)
--
Go into the cold and start undressing
Do it on your own and learn your lesson
Oscillating bodies in confession
I can find a way. (I have direction)
Everything's at once perfection and broken
When high on whatever Schrodinger was smoking
That one time you thought i was joking?
I wasn't
The other time you thought I was serious?
Well it doesn't even matter now; it's all in the past
Walking underneath a ladder that's as tall as the grass
In the backyard
Where you grew an only child of two
Little Indians as clueless and as stupid as you
In your humble beginnings
We're all gonna die, why the hell are you grinning?
We're living a lie; there was never a ceiling fan
That was spinning because there was never a ceiling
There was never a sky, there was never a feeling, and
That's why whenever you tried to cry
Whenever I broke your heart
You'd reopen a wound that was healing
That was dry as the nuggets in your happy meal
Ah fuck it, it's like all the other crap we feel
It's real and suddenly isn't real
The weather's only to change, your skin is only to peel
Your skeleton's just to freak you out
And create structure
What happened to us?
I'm not sure...
Whatever was pure was unpure
Then you tracked dirt all over the kitchen floor
I don't know what i was bitching for, though, cuz -
I dunno it's just dirt
It's really just dirt
It's just goddamn dirt

In the presence of the queen
The bard is hopping the gate
Wondering how it became so hard to communicate
Where there used to be an open window
His number's blocked from her phone
At the risk of living in great danger
He'll give it up and be a farmer
Or a telemarketer in Oregon
Anything where he can not bring harm to
The hidden pillars of flame that thaw out
Her majеsty's frozen bones
But the wildеrness is wolves abound
And every step taken from the shoreline
Leaves him sure to drown in water
She only built a palace on the icy ground
To live alone
Saying
"No no no no why won't anybody ever
Go away?"
Go away
If you do, I know a way
You can get away from me
If you want to escape me
I can help you escape me
I just wanna be sure that you do
Really want to
Go away
Go away
If you do, I know a way
But you have to stay from me
