SLICE OF LIFE
02:40
|
|||
i walk in silence w u
i'd slaughter martyrs for u
i'd even take a bullet or two
yep, there's not much i wouldnt do
for that slice of life
nearly everyone i know
calls a forcefield a home
from a shallow grave they can safely cast their stones
promise me youll feed the gaping maw of the earth w my bones
w that slice of life
sweet, sweet, sweet slice of life
slice of my life
lord, take this slice away
(i could feed the world w my slice of life)
hello friends, family & loved ones
have u come to pick the last bit of meat off my bones..?
here u go
my slice of life

NOBLE GHOST
03:54
|
|||
there’s no spark
there’s no luster
im crawling thru the dark
w all the strength that i can muster
unreleasable tension
w a screen to mediate
so much we’ve failed to mention
trapped in a silence that wont break
someone’s dog is shitting,
the sky is spitting,
& im so glad
to finally know im worthless
from the ledge where i am sitting
everything looks ill fitting
have i gone mad
looking for a purpose..?
im a noble ghost
an unknowable host
no one comes close
no one dares
im a noble ghost
& no one cares
haunt ur dreams
like a parasite
an unknowable host
hunts u at night
i gotta get out of this house
it’s like im trapped in a memory
dirty rig cant pierce the shroud
pure form was just temporary
i always think im all alone
but i know im not the only one haunting this home
|

mouth full of busted glass
I eat reflections & shit blood
each one an ill fitting mask
like a newborn trying to see past the crud
I'm gonna get stinkin drunk tonite
& I'm gonna peek behind the air & light
kill a cop,
burn a church
I'll scorch the earth
if they don't first
im gonna get stinkin drunk tonite
(im gonna peek behind the air & light)
im gonna get so high
look into my white light tweeker eyes
& try to tell me everything's alright
staring into the void, laughing at the city
jokes are just wasted on me
house is destroyed, city lights are pretty
casting long shadows onto a mutilated street
kill a cop,
burn a church
I'll scorch the earth
if they don't first
I just want to be alright
I'm so tired of being in danger
im smoking crack w a stranger
just couldnt be alone tonite
I'm gonna get stinkin drunk tonite
im gonna get so high tonite
look into my white light tweeker eyes
& try to tell me everything's alright
alright...

CLAUSTROPHOBIC MORNING
03:39
|
|||
what this is & what it was
it still is just because
i'm so broke but so high
that i don't cry when you squeeze my thighs
i borrow your comb i stain your sheets
so far from home when i work these streets
it was the tender age of death defiance
& the never ending rage against the light
now there's nothing left to sacrifice
but yourself unto the night
too many lights burnt out
in a city full of swarmed corners
& i'm so tired of crying out for rusty needles
every claustrophobic morning
1st meal of the day please don't make me pay
for the poor Indians apple & a knuckle sandwich in the rain
it's the 1st snowfall church bell rings
plainclothesman whispers discrete nothings
it was the tender age of death defiance
& the never ending rage against the light
now there's nothing left to sacrifice
but yourself unto the night..
too many lights burnt out
in a city full of swarmed corners
& i'm so tired of crying out for rusty needles
every claustrophobic morning

I CHOOSE VIOLENCE
03:04
|
|||
i choose violence
i choose retribution
i choose chaos
i choose utter confusion
i choose violence
there are no innocent bystanders
there is no merciful fate
only money & violence
& cold hearts that cant break
look me in the eye wen ur fucking me to death
open ur mind & suck out my last breath

KISS ME U COWARD
03:29
|
|||
I want to get carried away
I want to lose my mind today
nothing is promised & that's okay
as long as ur here to stay
I love u so much I can't sleep
a promise, a battle cry,
a secret i can't keep
thru my waking dream u creep
slaughtering shadows
on the sunny side of the street
I'm so high, I'm so ugly
she's so high above me
lost control & they drugged me
in a waking dream u loved me
crouch down & kiss me u fool
come all the way down here & kiss me u coward
love is only true for a privileged few
& the insane

INEFFABLE CHARM
01:54
|
|||
corpse of an oracle
hair of interdimensional demon
some kinda portal hole
some black crusty semen
I'm glad u were born
don't be mad, don't wind up dead
ur summer dress is torn
life is such a bummer
wen I'm not giving u head
life's not a simulation
it's a trial of errors
don't get stuck in hibernation
let's go be domestic terrors
ineffable charm
arm in arm
we saunter in up to our heads
let's go out making a memory

I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
Everything you know
Everything you know
It disturbs me so
I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
Everything you know
Everything you know
It disturbs me so
Everybody tried to push me
Push me around
Everybody tried to put me
Try to put me down
All messed up, hey everyone
I've already had all my fun
More troubles are gonna come
I've already had all my fun
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody tried to push me
Push me around
Everybody tried to put me
Try to put me down
I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
I'm an outsider
Outside of everything
Everything you know
Everything you know
It disturbs me so

IN FLANDERS FIELDS
03:00
|
|||
can u finally see me
navigating this sick, sick city..?
drugs hitting me like black magic
make me walk backwards into traffic
I'm on a different planet
speak my piece but they don't understand it
I need a dope man
not a hope dealer
I ain't hangin from no rope man
& I don't need no faith healer
let's take our friends & family
move out to the country
& process our own poppies
don't give a flying fuck about police
pigs are sitting ducks & im a savage beast
a j walking prophet w nerves of steel
I'm so goddamn high that I can't feel
do u finally see me
navigating this sick, sick city..?
let's take our friends & family
move out to the country
& process our own poppies
don't call me a squealer
I just tell it like it it is
but pls, if u see the dope man
tell him that
this grimy lil heart of mine is all his

TAKE ME SOMEWHERE NICE
04:33
|
|||
take me somewhere nice
comb my hair, kiss my cheek
every damn day's been a crisis
& im starting to get weak
tell me no one is dying
that we're all in heaven
believe me, I've been trying
to deal w my depression
take me thru the forest
& down to the water
away from the dead city
away from my father
idc wut is left behind
idc wut lies ahead
as long as u treat me kind
& tuck me into bed
I want to have a childhood
I want to grow so damn old
I want to know all that is good
it's out there somewhere im told
take me somewhere nice
take me somewhere else
take me home

i was nearly aborted
my white dad wanted me dead
my face gets all contorted
thinking of everything he did & said
i wasnt made for this earth
or so i thought
but I was just born without worth
i am the baby that the world dropped
i wanna be happy, i wanna be free
& go to be w my mother
but creators gotta plan for me
& it’s to suffer
lay down ur head
it’ll be okay
as long as ur not dead
you’ll find a way
rest a spell
it’ll be alright
as long as ur in hell
you’ll have to fight
i get everything i want & i get bored
keep us safe, hold me like a psych ward
i guess there’s freedom in being ignored
but sometimes I wish they never cut the cord
creator had a plan for u to let me go
u hurt me so but i cant let that show
i hide but no one seeks, but i just wanted u to know
i’ll be here wen ur tired of being alone
