I’m sitting
for fifteen minutes
I’m waiting for the day to come
where I can sit
for fifteen minutes
and not chew the nail
off my thumb
I don’t know
where this is going
but I know that it’s
not heading home
I don’t know
where this is going
but I’m goddamn sure
I don’t know where I belong
Hey Hey
and the holes
in my logic
speak so soft
you can’t recognize
The holes
in my pockets
go so far
as to ostrichsize
my mind
and my body
tear my head off
and let the coupons fly
to my toes
so soggy
dripping with wet
I’m not sure
how to die
Hey Hey
So let me go
tonight
off into oblivion
romanticize
my journey
my life
perceived as so
through tortured eyes
Hey Hey

Cobblestone Roadways
03:26

Learning my lover left
long gone and far away
too late to apologize
for blood spilled and colder eyes
Cobblestone roadways
they felt like the last time
we spoke aloud to ourselves
the taste of your neck to sell
off all the garden gnomes
flesh lingered on telephones
to speak of the absences
the lonely dark masochists
Integrate self control
and all that you’ll get
is a sad hungry peasant boy
with three little house chores
to occupy his peasant time
and make room for schooling
too late for optimal
education down the hall
she waits for me desperately
or desperate to leave
to run and to bury me
to change with the falling leaves
Fall off and separate
mitotic spindle of
tearing your life apart
sweating you slowly start
to panic and beat your head
against all the cobblestone
lifetimes of your blood spilled
all along the bones were split
in half as your body broke
against all the cobblestone
and all the bystanders watched
just then your mother thought
that she’d find you safe in bed
with curtains shut and eyes dead
from heroin overdose
lost in your comatose
but instead she found you
alive barely breathing
another failed life attempt
another emasculate
nobody asked for this
love that you gave them
infact no one wanted it
all of us thought of it
as misplaced affection
your hate redirected
at the ones who didn’t bite first
arrogance lost in a burst
of aggravated assault
against those who were close enough
to hit with your whipping stick
now all we think of it
is nothing much anymore
back to our lonely chores
and doing the things we know
all of us let you go
off of your ledge that night
yeah we all knew it
but none of us thought of you
not people or newspapers too
so goodbye my only love
you take half me with you
but I just can’t leave this place
not since I’ve seen your face

Je fais de la musique
et je suis un ecrivain
et je ne suis pas une comedie
vous obtenez avec la programme
je peux voir un sentier
ce n’est pas tres loin
le volcan suggere que
je sois un autruche
- kazoo -
le rechauffement climatique
vient pour nous tous
le chomeur gagne
tout le temps
une reussite est relative
qui ce me fait peur
des que un syndicat
court la gouvernement
- kazoo -
Un autruche est mon ami
je suis un autruche
il est mon
emploi a mi-temps
Je suis un autruche
Je suis un autruche
Je suis un autruche
Je suis un autruche

That's Enough
02:15
|
|||
There’s peace
in rusting in the back row with you
at least
I know what I’m coming home to
and that’s enough
yeah that’s enough for me
I need
my literate and well spoken best friend
he leaks
thoughts and words that’s I’ve never read
and that’s enough
yeah that’s enough for me
speak soft when you talk your talk
and make sure that your battles fought
well and kept to yourself
learn to read and write and spell
yourself out for your tax form
stand up straight pretend you are strong
enough to fight the way you oughtta
moms and dads and sons and daughters
colliding on this battle field
fighting for what to yield
home to their families
the eggs and bread and the dairy
they struggle for their paycheck
and bring home what’s left after
all the others took their share
write petitions “it isn’t fair!”
But nobody is listening
There’s peace
in rusting in the back row with you
at least
I know what I’m coming home to
and that’s enough
yeah that’s enough for me

See no one has time for me I'm allright
See no one has time for me Up all night
Checking texts betting next weekend won't be anythingj new
Truly I don't want you to include me your ideas about reality are 2d you see
Isolation doesn't bother me until it's forced
You forgot to invite me that's the excuse of course
See I'm onto you I know I don't contribute but I gotta lot to do stuck inside this musical solitude
I'm sorry in sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm not
See noone has time for me why would they waste it I might be wasted my waist hits a basic waitless fateless weighted faceless bassist face it when the day hits and they lay in wait fated to be evasive
Cause I'm a sellout before I was bought
A convict before I was caught
I've taught the best and learned from the worst
I leave last and always arrive first cause I think I'm cool

KGB Are In My House
00:59
|
|||
The KGB are in my house
and I don’t know what they’re needing
The KGB are in my house
and they’re acting so misleading
The KGB they took from me
every right I had to call myself free
and hid it behind
“national security”
The KGB are quite nasty
and their uniforms overall trashy
their guns don’t mean much
to me
kill me and my family
do well to dispose of the bodies
never to be found
deep in the ground
but grant me one last letter
to my good and sweet lover
let her know
she means the world to me
But before you leave, you KGB
know you won’t get a dime from me
whether you’re IRS or NSA
keep your freedom for your United States
The KGB are in my house
and I don’t know what they’re needing
The KGB are in my house
and they’re acting so misleading

and the lamplight
Lambright
all I’ve ever know
is that
I’m only happy
when I’m coming home
to you, to us
to all the things
I never got done
You know what I mean
when I say
that I never want to leave, no
just wanna stay
in your arms
at the park
in the dark
on the street
with people
tapping their feet
looking at me, looking at you
“May God bless the love between you two”
I’ll save the part about atheism
thank them for their time
you in the simplest
way of things
they didn’t have to be so kind
neither did you
neither did I
so before you leave for NY give me one final good last kiss good bye.

Sin and Chinese Food
00:45
|
|||
I ordered a pint of sin
and gave satan the sweet and sour sauce
I took directions from my
moral compass now I'm lost
Now I'm lost
Now I'm lost
And I'm trying to find my way
Through sin
and Chinese food
They'll both kill you eventually but least one of them tastes good
Hint it's the one without MSG
Now let's see how far our diplomacy goes
without armed embassies
The enemy
Is the one with all the fuckin nukes
SILENCE
So
I just want to die
In this styrofoam container contaminated
continuously cause corrupt containment policies just mean
that
We can't have a voice
worth listening to
Cause sin is free and I don't wanna pay for this Chinese food

Rocketships draw
Pentagrams
Cause God never made it into space
So I’ve been wondering
where exactly he lives
cause I’ve been looking for a better place
God please call me
pick up your telephone and
bring me out
of this boring pace
I need you now more
than ever before
I need you now if I’ll need you at all
Raspy voices
Raspy noises
Used tissues
thinking of you
call me when
you’re headed home
Someone tell me
do you think that
God gets voice mail calls?
House shopping
with a shotgun
and newspaper ads
all point to you
Raspy voices
Raspy noises
