i see the world
the way the world sees me
with broken skin and bended knee
i want it all before its gone
everytime i go to sleep
the world falls down on top of me
it never leaves

back windows busted out
all my things are gone
its a gift from god hallelujah
its a reverse birthday where everything is bad
or normal birthdays, it's not my big day
in fact i feel so small
happy birthday happy birthday
shoot one day i'll be gone
and i know that everybody's gonna leave sometime
racecar backwards im in the mirror
i hate this guy he sucks he's dirt
or ground to plant in drink some water
tomorrow might not hurt
id like to feel good like to feel great
like to get there never stop
every day is like a birthday when all of your friends
just forgot
and i know that everybody's gonna leave sometime

i need a god more than a crush
i love myself when no one does
she says she smokes the way she breathes
does that mean fast and next to me?
does that mean fast unfastening?
doesn't this seem less frustrating?
to see you smile, through the steam
condense against my skin and drip right off of me
i found a god he lives inside
the honest tasks yeah that's right
i worship dishes, kiss the floor
my heart exists to restore
the balance of this hellish place
can you believe they make us pay?
can you believe they make us pay?

i dont really like that
i dont really feel like
bathing in the sunlight
dancing in the lifelike
plastic trees and flowers
lego superpowers
i just wanna build build build build build destroy
they say they smoke the way they breathe
does that mean fast and next to me?
does that mean fast unfastening?
someone help me please
everything's not awesome but nothing's really real
except the drips and drops of good that come with waves of tears
i don't even cry that much
i just always feel so numb

sobbing in the street i lost my friends
asked how long it's been, severed stem
cut open once again, i said "all night"
in my bed, closed eyes my whole life
sleep's a free trial for when i die
catch and release, the Z's and me
living in the real world
put me back i wanna dream
underneath the real world
(colleen)
sobbing in the street i lost my friends
i don't want to have to start again
its my fault i should have known better
just seems like im so bad at getting better
[will i ever be better?]
catch and release, the Z's and me
living in the real world
put me back i wanna dream
underneath the real world
catch and release, the Z's and me
living in the real world
put me back i wanna dream
underneath the real world

this body is my mech
01:59
|

sunlight fills the room i close the blinds
shadows split me open close my eyes
its a surgery not one i really need
but it's starting, holding steady
scissors snip my heart out from my chest
i can do the rest at least i think i can
i assume the worst cause that's all that i am
i had a plan, i'm glad it never happened
soft smoke fills the room i close my eyes
ive been such a lucky guy comfortable watching from behind
this body, my demise
it stands for me while i wait in line
it holds my place while im occupied
ive never had control
took my belt up to the blinds
took a lot to realize how little is actually mine
ive always been a speck
this body is my mech
i gotta cut it out cause i got people to impress

lego superpowers
life in distinct color
life in plastic
throw me in the water
exposed wood and plaster
life in plastic
nothing really matters
matters
drain from the gutter to the basement
i lie down on the cement
there will be cement in space
cause there's already cement in space
i cement in place
i lie down in space
i keep my pace it's
not fast i stay in place
the dark side of the moon shows its face
the dark side of the moon is still in space

i can always sleep
its the best thing i can do escaping
from the minutes i cant keep off of my back
singing in church
my mom is standing next to me
is this hymn in the right key?
i feel like i am shrinking
i want to wear all my dad's clothes
i wanna hear him say
"oh i know where you got those lines in your face, growing up going away, it seems like yesterday i could pick you up, will you help me out in my garage?"
i can always play ping pong in my dreams
my uncle's laughing spinning balls
the white against the green against the walls
i can always dream im happy somewhere
its like each heartbeat shakes the seismograph
i'd hold your hand i'd make you laugh

control
01:48
|
|||
|
it's good to be in control
im responsible
i can take care of myself
but that's hard so i don't eat and i almost
starve
it's not good to be in control
it's not good to be in control
singing in my sleep
my mouthguards in you cant recognize me
maybe we can talk in my dreams
notes of seraphims im underneath
and its almost [like]
its not good to be in control

the endings will all end and wrap around
none of this really matters to me now
sometimes it takes a sec
past my own surprise at my own neglect
to realize im just a pile of little dots
and you're just a pile of dots too
they'll forget all our dots real soon
the dots explode give way decay multiply divide escape
these dots are organized real well
and i live in every cell
kill the warden of this jail
i wanna feel something that matters might as well

black hole cellphone did you call?
sattelites, i want it all
ive been sending signals out to outer space as darth maul
born to kill and then to die
im the double-edged sword guy
sharpening both sides to chop up with the sun in both my eyes
the sun in both my eyes
i stare and it resides
there's a star living inside
my friends heads, well where's mine?

valentine (ft. mir)
01:31
|

|
everytime i see the lace
everything falls into place
sometimes it makes me cry
and sometimes it makes me lie
shades of blue
really cute
sweet tongues in the breeze
hold your breath, cant help but sneeze
just some moths no bees
shades of you
really cute
really cute

time is a flip book
01:12

time is a freight train
im throwing rocks at the side
theyll replace the cars and we'll have to rewind
and ill do it again throwing rocks with your friends
i wanna leave here
but time is a flip book and youre just a frame
we make all this stuff to try and forget that pain
i move my thumb to the corner...

UNDERNEATH
where the big trees are
i push my bike through the tombstones
the dog that tastes the blood gets put down
waxen seraphim the sun the song of birch and maple
canopies that cover me im underneath im underneath
check my pockets for my keys my phone my wallet and IDs
this last round is on me, this last year is on me
two name tombstone twelve years apart
a corner house can take two names, but where's the mailbox?
ill sleep in apartments forever
lease signings lead warnings
im underneath im underneath
NOSTALGIA
careful cacophony drumming on the steering wheel
we're headed home, yeah we'll get there when we get there
we'll get there when we get there
its a careful cacophony siren sings, back and forth
do you understand? do you still feel? are you still there are you still there?
everyone i know has held the things that ive held close for so long so long and never let go of nostalgia, nostalgia
wish i could be part of your world of your world of your world
i only hear your voice through computers
a well assembled nightmare, i was in the front there
please slow down, watch the signs
please drive safer as the crow flies
ive been baptized in the sun
