"Lazy"

"Lazy"


I just lost my job
I just lost my girl
Things are getting way out of hand
But my living room is like quicksand
Sucks me down
I'll never leave
In the ground
My cable TV
I'm burnt out and lazy
Looking, Dwelling, Fuck me!
I'm lazy
Look at my cat
Why can't I live like that
All other animals except us
do nothing else but eat and shit
Yesterday
Is not the time
Tomorrow
Hasn't yet begun
Another wee)
Another Month
Going, Always, Fuck you
I'm lazy
I have no faults to fear, I'm down here
There's nothing to fear, no changes
'Cause having it all means nothing
I am not in beyond great pressure or the reason I see on you
Blue day again
Trying to reach end
A call, the machine, unseen action
No act of faith
No deed of good
Yesterday
Is not the time
Tomorrow
Is it not yet here
Another month
Another year!

"Leave The Light On"

"Leave The Light On"


So please leave the light on after you've gone
Leave the pictures in their aging frames where they belong
Leave the bed sheets unclean and they will reek of you still
Cover me in resolve

So please leave the imagery
I can twist it
Dissociation and obsession
Superstition and pain
I can carry them on too and bury you once again

If I could bring this memory to life
I'd apologize
I live to hear you say what they can't
I would make amends
They'd all love to have you back but...
I'd give anything to bring you back to say goodbye

"Life Without You"

"Life Without You"


It's always timing that divides us at heart
She wanted something more, I wanted a new start
In a world depraved, some of us lost can still be saved
We only learn from the chances that we take

I look in your eyes as if you knew (Oh, oh, oh)
It's tough to live without you (Oh, oh, oh)
I don't have to have you as long as you are near (Oh, oh, oh)
I just feel better when you're here

So give me a chance

I hardly even know you, but just the same
This infatuation drags me down
I need your strength to make it thru my life
It's not like I'm asking you to be my wife

Still, I look in your eyes as if you knew (Ah, Ah, Ah)
It's tough to live without you (Ah, Ah, Ah)
I don't have to have you as long as you are near (Ah, Ah, Ah)
I just feel better when you're here

Don't leave me hanging on to the rope without a fight
Give me a chance, girl, what is it about him that you like?
Change my boring life, change my lonely life
Give me half a chance to be the one that was always right

"Live It Down"

"Live It Down"


The planet's lost
And all I need
To line my bed
With handkerchiefs
To bay my fatigue
To build a case
For true love lost
And lives erased
To live guilt free
In a foretold destiny
He found a hill where he
Stakes his claim
And he'll
Build a house
Where he'll
Martyr his children

The trees wheeze out
The ocean rise
He's gaining ground
In his high-rise
And all proceeds from
Rewritten history
In fairy tales that he
Still believes

He breathes and thrives and he's
Immunized but he's
Paralyzed 'cuz he's
Sure to die off

Soon running for the middle
Higher ground but lower
While all the coasts are running off

Cold water boils
Mother earth's rage
His house and family have
Washed away
Where was his savior
His promised road
He followed every rule they
Ever sold
He saw his world as a
Vapor life support
We colonize and we
Multiply as we
Suck it dry yeah we're
Sure to die off

Live it down, live it down, live it
Live it down, live it down, live it
Live it down, live it down, live it down

"Losing Everyone"
(originally by Drag the River)

"Losing Everyone"
(originally by Drag the River)



I'm kinda down about it
I'm kinda sick about this feeling
Talking brings it up

And I'm kinda short on feelings
And I kinda got the feeling that I'm losing everyone

Could this be all? Could it linger any more?
What an endless fall; there's no use to call it off.

So I'm rolling down the stairwell
And I'm giving in; these thoughts sound angry
Talking brings it up

So now I'm down about it
I'm kinda sick about this feeling
Drinking brings it up

And I don't even know why I shouted out
I'm the one who's being left out -
Again.

I'm kinda down about it
I'm kinda sick about this feeling
Talking brings it up

Could this be all? Could it linger any more?
In an endless fall, there's no use to call it off
And I don't even know why I try it at all
I'm the one who's being left out
Yeah, I don't even know why I try it at all
I'm the one who's being left out
I'm the one who's living with it all.

"Love Story"

"Love Story"


Maybe it's not funny but it's true
No one here's surprised but you
Embellish it, the truth is you're a slave
Addicted to it's escalating
And your love story's bad
Drama makes you livid
in a nervous always laugh
I'm fresh out of advice
And sick of standing in this harms way
Interstate, in debate, an impasse
Driving out of hope and gas
Arriving at the same mute conclusion
This destination failure
This is going, going
Nowhere slow
Drama is exhausting and I'd rather be alone
I want better friends
I'm sick of getting into harms way
And so are they
Sick of being around something
That's destined to fail
And the sum of it's parts cannot see
They make me hate life, hate friends,
Hate being there
I know, that it's not funny but it's true
No one gives a shit but you
Maybe I'll just swallow all these thoughts
Maybe someday you'll stop

"Lullaby"

"Lullaby"


Waging war on the arms race of sound
Turn it down
Pull the plug
Imminent surrender
Ringing in the new Dark Age
Shut down the noise-aholics
Put down the quiet-ophobics
In a daydream of peace
In a calmness too brief
My lullaby is killing
My lullaby be stilling
It could be such sweet silence
From static from violence from...
Volume is the modern currency
Everyone competing for air space
Everybody's dumb
Shouting muddled words as though they're deaf
Big brother isn't watching anymore
He knows we are distracted and absorbed
Broadcasting our grief
Our imagination's atrophied
We can't think
If I could sing them all to sleep
If I could sing myself deaf
Wouldn't it be lovely?
Doesn't it sound perfect?
Every generation hates the next
I will save the millions from a slow insufferable death
I'll put them to sleep
Save them from progressive misery
I'm counting
If I could sing myself to sleep
If I could sing myself deaf
Wouldn't it be lovely?
Doesn't it sound perfect?
My lullaby is killing
My lullaby be stilling
Memorized.
Involuntary
I think I can change the world

"Made Of Broken Parts"

"Made Of Broken Parts"


Broken down machinery
Someday soon they will mine for me
Obsolete, still heart beats
Empathy smacks of misery

Like a scab it will fall off but leaves its mark
I was made of broken parts
Sewn together with a broken heart

Dopamine, moment free, drip I.V., drain this memory
Life becomes too fragmented

Like a scab it will fall off but leaves its mark
I was made of broken parts
Sewn together with a broken heart

Task by task the day gets done
Methodical dysfunction
Assimilate and infect
We can't hang so we must hang
Can't hang on so we disconnect

Broken down machinery
Innate beauty
Almost one of them

Like a scab it will fall off but leaves its mark
I was made of broken parts
Sewn together with a broken...

"Making Friends"

"Making Friends"


As you're in this search for something to hate
I can feel you rally up on someone with your peers
But can you stand alone? Can you take the long way home?
I've been stuck inside this circle a hundred times before
and I feel safer in the eye of the storm
You can throw your stones,
I'll only bleed for you for one day

They all answer to the heresy
But they will only care for one day

It's so small, it's so small
And I would love to show you all

I can see you in the middle of a doubt
You told them we had a falling out
Sic the dogs on me, as you take the easy way out
And I will be the freak show when your circus comes to town
And I will rain on your parade without a sound
We'll draw a crowd, it's only breaking down...
For one day

I graduate this class with honors
And I will never fail drama

Making friends

It's so small

Will you still hate me tomorrow?

"Max Says"

"Max Says"


Max says everybody's angry
Max says he'll never leave his home
Max says that heaven's another place
It's there his grandparents have gone
Max has ten years on this birthday
A year ago this world had made him cry
Max sees his world through the brightness
Eyes to learn
Hope to glow in the dark
And he will aim toward the sky
Deep blue.
The silver lined white clouds divide
Max says everybody's nasty
Says they start too many fights
Max wrote a letter to god today
His god could never tell lies
Max says he's always been faithful
He prays for them
Max bets they all will be saved
And he will aim toward the sky
Deep blue.
The silver lined white clouds so divine
But Max won't get what he asked for
Not here. Not now
In the end we will leave him a pile
Mountains of anguish assured for his climb
And Max inherits his birthright
Inbred. Inborn
