Sequins:
Contrived (the person that i am)
Just tell me that you're busy, so I can leave you alone
Do I have to be ugly to be beautiful?
Figured you'd do better than me, soon enough
The words can only be so fulfilling, I'm hollow
The person that I am
So fucking empty
Sisyphean somber fills him, his creaking body
He'd rather drown in the sound, than find a way out
Out into the open, the Now
A broken person must seem so much better in your head
Why are you acting like you're anything more than dead?
Ashamed of, ashamed of...
I remember -
The person that I am
So fucking empty
Sisyphean somber fills him, his creaking body
He'd rather fucking drown in the sound, than find a way out
Out into the open, the Now
Everything Hurts
Smear your father's ashes 'cross the front of your skull
And whip around the child's pet's broken bones
It's only a matter of time before the revolver blows
Schizoveteranistic post-mortem hallucinations
Profitizing adolescent sexual fascinations
We know what you want before you even know you want it
(sarcastically) "Everything hurts so badly
Everything hurts so much
Everything hurts everywhere"
All of the time so stay in first
Falling men and vultures eating children on the TV
Chinese metal footprints covered in democratic meat
I'll never know what it's like to lose being free
Arridy's mind stuck inside itself when it was poisoned
Nature nurtures man who is born just to de-destroy it
If only you really cared about anything...
(sarcastically) "Everything hurts so badly
Everything hurts so much
Everything hurts everywhere"
You'll never fall asleep if your head is lifeless paste
I looked at you
I am the crow
I peck at your skin
'Cause that's all that's left
They wrap their bones around me
And I wear them proudly
Like bloodied medals for wounding knees
This is not our land, and I'm not gonna let you in.
Emus
I guess it only makes sense
Empathy ain't natural
It's learned behavior
You're just doing what you're told
Mother nature, kindly stranger
Exterminated in the
Cold winter wind, you were just a kid
New memories
To watch fade
Greetings
We're emus, on a plain
Eating and breathing all day
We're emus, on a plane
Raping and stealing all day
We're emus, on a plain/plane
On a plain/plane
Sorrowing Young Man (At Eternity's Gate)
A creature steals sand from my hourglass
And blows it all away, lost to the parched wind
With his delayed movements, his actions are hesitant
"Stutter," you say, stutter's all you do now
Skin scraping nails haul the weights which he sways
Small blistered blip crashed into by the waves
Waves of desolation, mutilation, and hate
Sorrowing, still, at eternity's gate
Alone, on my own, I broke down
I crave to get out of my head
A touch, to touch, to connect
But what has he become?
A creature, deserving of death
Yeah, the weakest mind is still stuck inside an open cage
Speared seersucker suits, drenched with sweat
Bullshit smeared across the wall, and no dismay
Dismay from disgust, offense, or even hate
Still, I'm sorrowing at eternity's gate
Nothing To Say
My face is an empty canvas
I'd like to tear it open
I'm so fucking tired and I don't wanna sleep
Coming to nothing, not anymore
I'm ashamed in my dreams and on the floor
Can you tell I have nothing to say?
Can you tell there's nothing in me?
I wanna be angry but I have no reason
A stare from a thousand people
Wouldn't change a thing
I know I'm another moron with nothing but the scene
And what scene might that be?
One creep alone in his room?
As long as that's good for me
It's good enough for you
Can you tell I have nothing to say?
Can you tell I have nothing in me?
I wanna be angry but I have no reason
Do I need a reason?
Do I need to have a reason?
Is it just another phase, another insecurity?
Do I need this pain?
Do I need to be in pain?
Are you finally happy when you have it?
Can you tell I have nothing to say?
Can you tell there's nothing in me?
I wanna be angry but I have no reason
Can you tell I have nothing to say?
Can you tell there's nothing in me?
I wanna be angry and I have no reason
(Can you tell?) Can you tell I have nothing to say?
Bones
Got this sickness, it's in my bones
I'm sick to the bone
Where the roots can no longer grow -
And the blossoming leaves die in a week
I got this sickness, it's in my bones
Until it leaves for a week
This Way
I've hit a dry spell
An emotional drought
Devoid of the tears
Every year
Empty oceans keep building
Yet they never burst
When's the right time
To question if it works?
I'm sorry you're feeling this way
It's hard to feel anything
Anything at all
Soon I will be lifted
Into ecstasy
But for now
I'll keep my doubts
Maybe it's not what it seems
Maybe this is the best it can be
I'm sorry you're feeling this way
Ogre
His fingers tremble like wallow trees
His legs sprout out and lengthen 'till they're longer than me
The ogre's eyes hang wide open
Doors without their hinges and Picasso's son's paintings
Warts on his back explode, leaving holes in his soul
A jarring revelation leaves us all very cold
Watching the Spanish class in the backyard
Getting swept up and washed over
Speaking spiders crawl up his arms
And finally the fog of a girl's musk is gone
Our solitude has never been better
Stuck in a blanket or a sweater
The ogre is dead
Sometimes I can see her awake
Walking around the kitchen, looking for bunny rabbits
'Cause the sweet ones make her vomit blood
And she doesn't really like that
So we'll check the cupboards in the Vineyard
Because sometimes they hide them far away
Away from me
The Bard
Stare down my shadow
Right in its eyes
If I let the best of me explode
Onto canvas
Wouldn't that be nice?
Sickeningly disgusted
That's how it feels to be right
You're eyeing me like an animal
You're eyeing me like an animal
