It's been a good year, a good new beginning
I'm through with the old school, so let's commence the winning I've been a good little worker bee I deserve a gold star Gone are the glad hands, the black holes and liars The constant companions of noxious suppliers Carnivore kings milking holiday sins Comas in cashmere It went from no good to fucked up and over A total distortion of lifelong disorders Barreling head first, the fresh open wounds This I was not used to Now that my words don't quite do what they should Now that old wounds are resurfacing too It makes me feel golden It makes me feel good It's been a good year, a good new beginning I'm through with the old school so let's commence the winning I've been a good little worker bee I deserve a gold star A gold star I deserve a gold star today |

I didn't think I would make it,
thought everybody was against me all those conquered eyes and Christmases alone. I never gave an honest answer But I need a lot of angry organs. Are we copacetic? Are we behaving now? Filling up on endless enzymes From other peoples softly insides All this bitterness is starting to grow cold Encompanies an empty evening, hanging onto complications Sometimes quick sand has a massive appeal To me I want to be somewhere else I think I can figure it out, but I'm gonna need a Little help to get me Need a little help to get me. I think I can figure it out, but I'm gonna Need a little help to get me through it To get me through it I always knew I had the answer But I never understood the question Indoor living Lacerated to the bone And now we've realigned the edges I'm doing very well I thank you All this sympathy is starting to wear me down I wish I was someone else I think I can figure it out, but I'm gonna need a Little help to get me Need a little help to get me. I think I can figure it out, but I'm gonna Need a little help to get me through it To get me through it I'll try to work this out I'll try to get it on I'll try (repeated in background after said once) I like to tell you that I'm ready For whatever's coming But to be honest there's a part of me That loses control [x2] I think I can figure it out, but I'm gonna need a Little help to get me Need a little help to get me. I think I can figure it out, but I'm gonna need a Little help to get me Need a little help to get me. I think I can figure it out but I'm gonna Need a little help to get me Need a little help to get me Need a little help to get me Need a little help to get me through it. |

Maybe you were right after all
Maybe I'm just bad news I've been drowning in memories Call it residual blues I fell asleep watching Veronica Mars again I still futz with that tourniquet I tried to squeeze on your dreams Slung it on, it's a perfect fit What do you suppose that means? My parents keep asking When you're planning on coming around If we'd only stayed together I might not have fallen apart But the words you served destroyed my planet I'll stall before I start, I'll stall before I start anything at all Got a job at Uncommon Grounds I finally shaved off that beard Sold my X-box to Jimmy down the street I even quit smoking weed I'm taking an online course I'm learning to speak Japanese If we'd only stayed together I might not have fallen apart But the words you served destroyed my planet I'll stall before I start, I'll stall before I start anything at all The things that used to mean so much to me Have gone the way of dinosaurs Hopes and dreams and everything All I want for you to be is happy or something I guess anything is better than the time you spent Hoping I got it sorted out I sent you a postcard But the post office sent it back They said the building's been torn down I just miss what I thought we both had If we'd only stayed together I might not have fallen apart But the words you served destroyed my planet It's all my *** fault If we'd only stayed together I might not have fallen apart But the words you served destroyed my planet I'll stall before I start, I'll stall before I start anything at all |

To the deep end, to the heart line Hold it straight together, man Hold it straight together, if you can Little fevers wrapped in medication All strung out on novelty Collapse yourself and try to comprehend An angry island, a bitter bee sting Severing and shattering Free the self and fix the in between It's isolation, mark the earth around you Guess who's on the waiting list I'll let you in on something secret I can disappear Anytime I want to, time I feel you Shuffle through my skin I am with you til the end First you breathe out Then you have to breathe in Lash yourself repeatedly Until it sticks, until it sticks Under the eyelids, carry on cadaver Festering interiors All hollow breach and vapor silhouette Need medication, more medication Coursing through your interstates All mad and great, confused and counterfeit Kamikaze, sear the blood inside me Guess who's got it figured out I'll let you in on something secret I can disappear Anytime I want to, time I feel you Shuffle through my skin I am with you til the end And I can decompose When it suits me I accelerate it Wicked on all fours, I surrender to the storm You'll never know how it feels You'll never know how it feels Can you feel it? Can you feel it? I can disappear Anytime I want to, time I feel you Shuffle through my skin I am with you til the end I can decompose When it suits me, I accelerate it Wicked on all fours, I surrender to the storm And I can disappear Anytime I want to, time I feel you Shuffle through my skin I am with you til the end I'm with you til the end |

There's a stain, there's a stain, there's a stain on the floor
I wanna soak, wanna scrub, wanna clean anymore But all the nurses are refusing to let me out of bed And my eyes are pouring nightly There's a crowd, there's a crowd, there's a crowd on my ward I'm full of joy, full of glee, jubilation and more These crazy stupid mother*** never leave me alone And my lungs are wheezing slightly There's a buzz, there's a buzz, there's a buzzing of bugs From flower beetles, yellow jackets, silverfishes to slugs It's always raining caterpillars from the circular fan And my heart is pounding brightly I swim in pharmaceuticals, I swim in pharmaceuticals The medicine deactivates the things I take, the things that take me I swim in pharmaceuticals, I swim in pharmaceuticals The medicine deactivates the things I take, the things that take me There's a voice, there's a voice, there's a voice in my head It's rather soothing and it tells me I'd be better off dead But if I beat it, maybe punch it, even kick it away Then everything will be all rightly I swim in pharmaceuticals, I swim in pharmaceuticals The medicine deactivates the things I take, the things that take me I swim in pharmaceuticals, I swim in pharmaceuticals The medicine deactivates I didn't know it was hot in the middle I touched it once then I touched it a second time 'Cause I am that naive, a myriad of bright ideas I didn't know I'd get caught in the middle I touched it once and I touched it a second time 'Cause I am that naive, a myriad of bright ideas I swim in pharmaceuticals, I swim in pharmaceuticals The medicine deactivates the things I take, the things that take me I swim in pharmaceuticals, I swim in pharmaceuticals The medicine deactivates I didn't know it was hot in the middle I touched it once then I touched it a second time 'Cause I am that naive, a myriad of bright ideas I didn't know I'd get caught in the middle I touched it once then I touched it a second time 'Cause I am that naive, a myriad of bright ideas |

What’re you asking me for it’s not my goddamn history
What do you hope to find here there’s nothing left as you can see When the beatings all began we begun to scream and run But the current pulled us down and the smallest ones would drown Now we sit and drink all day and sing their songs of praise What’re you asking me for it’s not my goddamn history What do you hope to find here there’s nothing left as you can see There was something in the waves they were right to take our place We were broken one by one by the angels in the sun Now we sit and drink all day telling tales of yesterday And it always ends the same What’re you asking me for it’s not my goddamn history What do you hope to find here I thought I made it crystal clear? You learned a lot about the art of contradiction You learned a lot about the company we keep We learned a lot about what keeps us all together and with you Until the end What’re you asking me for? What’re you asking me for? What’re you asking me for? (it’s not my goddamn history) What’re you asking me for? (it’s not my goddamn history) What’re you asking me for? (it’s not my goddamn history) What’re you asking me… Let the beatings now begin. |

If I stand too close I might fall in
But if I’m too far gone I’ll never win If you believe in me I might just want to spend some time with you again I’m afraid I tend to disappear into an anxious state when you draw near There is no reasoning it’s quite a silly thing But it’s the way I’ve been for years So I will understand if you don’t stay They say I’m great at first but then the magic fades Into an awful hue of dismal views and pessimistic attitude All this distance Years of sweet resistance Swirling over head Like angry clouds of discontent I have apologized a billion times When I’ve gone off the wall like Busta Rhymes And pulled a stupid stunt that left you thinking there was something wrong with me you’ve thrown a few choice phrases at my way And I’ve ignored them all as best I could Except that tiny bit How I just can’t commit There is some truth in what you say All this distance Years of sweet resistance Swirling over head Like angry clouds of discontent If I stand too close I might fall in But if I’m too far gone I’ll never win If you believe in me I might just want to spend some time with you again I'll spent some time with you again If I stand too close I might fall in But if I’m too far gone I’ll never win If you believe in me I might just want to spend some time with you again |

Smoke and mirrors and everything nice
I wasn’t married to the weekend, I was banging’ on the back end Kamikaze and Miami Vice She shook a few of my favorite things Like cloak and daggers, I see very clear I couldn’t keep it all together, I was spooking in the end zone Arigato, go-go gadget arm She only took me for 10,000 yen It’s like a bad dream, something from the back of a magazine Black and white and cheaply put together Like a slasher film I’m torn in opposite directions The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous God damn these killings are gorgeous Darkened corners at every bend I wasn’t sucking down the poison; I was working on the QT Shaky shaky, all over the world, she tried a cartwheel at every turn The creepy crawlies, a case of revenge, I had the martyrs that I bartered from the barons for the bandoleers Karaoke, a feminine flaw, I had a feeling this was not the end It’s like a bad dream, something from the back of a magazine Black and white and cheaply put together Like a slasher film I’m torn in opposite directions The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous And like a nightmare, covering the tracks that had brought you there Paranoid and frozen in the heavens Like a slasher film I’m torn in opposite directions The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous Cave in cave out Nothing but nervous doubt Waiting for the big bang to get me [x2] Waiting for the big bang Wrapped in plastic, we all get the ends She had to take it to the majors couldn’t keep it on the down low Silly rabbit, good dreams, tambien Another stiff at the scene of the crime It’s like a bad dream, something from the back of a magazine Black and white and cheaply put together Like a slasher film I’m torn in opposite directions The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous And like a nightmare, covering the tracks that had brought you there Paranoid and frozen in the heavens Like a slasher film I’m torn in opposite directions The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous God damn these killings are gorgeous |

In early '99, I beat the Ocarina of Time.
I'm quite the legend in this town. My friends get wicked shit from all the foul-mouthed fools you roll with. Just push your luck, there will be blood, Most likely your own carnage. We all just wanna do our thing Without the misery you bring. Go fuck yourselves, Leave us alone. You all need to go away, you motherfuckers. You all need to leave me and my homeboys alone. You all need to go away, you motherfuckers. You all need to leave me and my sensitive homeboys alone. I can't say that character would be one of your strongest assets, Not that we're perfect, merely extra-perfect. So don't think you know a thing about a thing you know nothing about. Go fuck yourselves, Leave us alone. You all need to go away, you motherfuckers. You all need to leave me and my homeboys alone. You all need to go away, you motherfuckers. You all need to leave me and my sensitive homeboys alone. When the fever hits the fan and you spell out your commands, Remember that we all feel the weather, That we all feel the weathering hours of disconnect That we made fear the litmus test Stay tuned, the rest must fill this quest For a better way to all stick together, Way to all stick together, you goddamn hypocrites. You all need to go away, you motherfuckers. You all need to leave me and my homeboys alone. You all need to go away, you motherfuckers. You all need to leave me and my sensitive homeboys alone. Word. |

Tick-tock, sweat, switch up the fingers,
The silly integer's always on vacation. I didn't think it was a bad idea, I just couldn't figure out how to make the phone work. That said, it was no different from the others, Except that this is now and that was then and everything. Seems to repeat in a cyclical pattern, I hum myself to misery and wish these words against my pillow. I will try not to lose control. Hysteria, hysteria, it's happening again. I fall apart, I fall apart, I'm back where I began. If it were anybody else but you, I would not be afraid. A total calamity, the choices I have made. Rip scripts, slash, burn up the courage, That tiny, yellow cat- always on vacation. I wish I hadn't been so damn obscure, I just try too hard for the perfect word score. Can't stand it, end up cursing out the covers, A little chain and people restless like an effigy. Damn you, camera, lack of emotion, I'll swing my blades at everyone, Whack their heads and run for cover. Hysteria, hysteria, it's happening again. I fall apart, I fall apart, I'm back where I began. If it were anybody else but you, I would not be afraid. A total calamity, the choices I have made. Come help me figure it out, Come help me get it right this time around. If you can figure it out, Then you could help me loosen up, get me off the ground. Hysteria, hysteria, it's happening again. I fall apart, I fall apart, I'm back where I began. If it were anybody else but you, I would not be afraid. A total calamity, the choices I have made. A total calamity, the choices I have made. A total calamity, the choices I have made. |

What is there's nothing more to me?
I'm just skin and bones. There's no mystery. What if you're just an empty shell? All your spare parts were used up by someone else. What if there's no way to explain things like deja vu and acid rain? What if we're all just broken shells or someone else's thoughts. Will we be alright left alone tonight? Will we be alright left alone tonight? What if there's nothing more to us? We're just carbon-based. We're just pixie dust. What if life is a magic trick? Some quick slight of hand just to make us think. What if consciousness can't expand And we fool ourselves with absurd demands? What if there is no point at all? We just grow up to fade away. Will we be alright left alone tonight? Will we be alright left alone tonight? Will we get lost slowly drifting through these dead and lonesome heights? Will we be alright left alone tonight? What if there's nothing more to me? I'm just skin and bones. What if there's nothing more to you? What if there's nothing left for us? Will anyone remember? Does it all just simply turn to dust? Will we be alright? Will we be alright left alone tonight? Will we be alright? Will we be alright? Will we be alright? Will we be alright left alone tonight? Will we be alright? Will we be alright? Will we be alright left alone tonight? Will we be alright left alone tonight? Will we be alright left alone tonight? Will we get lost slowly drifting through these dead and lonesome heights? Will we be alright left alone tonight? Will we be alright left alone tonight? Will we be alright left alone tonight? |

Quicksand is a coat of arms,
Lose sleep, it's a liquid fiction. Last rights every Friday night, Am I way cool with the lights on? High tide tied around the neck, The same song everybody's bleeding. What makes me so different? The insides work the same. You ever fear the dark? Impressions of your future: The slightest gravestone whisper, The stillness of your heart. I feel it growing dark. A fever inching deeper, A fever inching to the core. I'll kick tomorrow, Fight back at the pouring rain. I'll send the weekends down the drain, down the drain. I'll kick tomorrow, Fight back at the pouring rain. I'll send the weekends down the drain, down the drain. Shorelines all around the world, Bright lights and some heavy breathing. Lipstick and the dagger's kiss- Just a figment of a feeling. Hands pressed up against the chest, Holding out for the big connection. Laxed lungs never looked so good, It's a trunk show all the way. As years go crashing by, I think of all I've pondered, So many minutes wandered, So many things undone. I'll try to figure out How many lives I've wasted waiting for the perfect time to start. I'll kick tomorrow, Fight back at the pouring rain. I'll send the weekends down the drain, down the drain. I'll kick tomorrow, Fight back at the pouring rain. I'll send the weekends down the drain, down the drain. I'll kick tomorrow... I'll send the weekends... I'll kick tomorrow... I'll send the weekends... I'll kick tomorrow... I'll send the weekends... I'll kick tomorrow... (fight back at the pouring rain) I'll send the weekends... (fight back at the pouring rain) I'll kick tomorrow, Fight back at the pouring rain. I'll send the weekends down the drain, down the drain. I'll kick tomorrow, Fight back at the pouring rain. I'll send the weekends down the drain, down the drain. |
