Happy Obsolete
03:50
|

It’s over
It’s over and I wonder
When summertime did simmer
Down to autumn leaves
I’m older
The air is creeping colder
It deprecates the glimmer
Made happy obsolete
You try to keep your mind, but
Everything will oxidize in time
Turned white
And full of spite
There’s comfort in the rust
There’s comfort
I’m happy obsolete
A cartridge
Decaying in the desert
A landfill full of pleasure
Who wants to play E.T.?
Distractions
Crafted in their hubris
To try and get us through this
Die with the king of kings
You try to keep your mind, but
Everything will oxidize in time
Bled dry
And going blind
There’s comfort in the dirt
There’s comfort
I’m happy obsolete

Crucible
02:58
|
|||
We'll engineer it out of you
And take those little gears
That turn
And burn them in the furnance
Yes the crucible is hungry
To melt another meal
To steal
Another sense of wonder and autonomy
Loose lips will sink you curious cats
And you'll be furious that
You didn't listen to us
Maudlin mouths will just keep spouting it out
That you'd be empty throughout
If you get swallowed by the crucible's mouth
We'll extricate the ugly parts
And tie them in a bow
And no,
You don't know what you're doing
You're a special kind of reticent
The kind we've gotta break
And crush
To fit you through the filter and the homily
Spying eyes will see despair and despise
So keep your gaze compromised
Set your sights on something simple
Curious ears will summon all of your fears
So sanitize what you hear
Loose
Lips
Sink
Ships
We'll engineer it out of you
And take those little gears
That turn
And burn them in the furnace

Hypochondriac
02:59
|
|||
So let's suppose that I
Have got a few more years to live
I wanna spend them high
Imagine a disease to give
A voice so loud it speaks
When I move my knees
A space so large it heaves
The breath out of me
Do I feel regret?
I suppose
I don't smoke cigarettes
And even as I sleep
This fixation can wake me fast
It rings in my ears
The sound of sand pouring from the hourglass
I should've been there
I should've dance
I spent the whole night sitting on my hands
'Cause I'm convinced that it's really bad
Give me an answer
It's probably cancer
You and me
We agree
It's just a hum that I'll have to learn to ignore
Yes, I can see
I agree
These are just aches that I'll have to learn to ignore
This vessel is bound to crack
So please
Forgive me
You and me
We agree
It's just a hum that I'll have to learn to ignore
Yes, I can see
I agree
These are just aches that I'll have to learn to ignore

Jungle Juice
03:31
|

Lapping up the past like jungle juice slipping through my fingers
Don't tell me what you think you saw
See what I see, know that you're wrong
Don't tell me that you think you're right
Doubt's contagious and I've got the bug
I tried to sleep it off but woke up drunk
My head is pounding and my eyes are glazed
I'm givin my days
Lapping up the past like jungle juice slipping through my fingers
Frozen for the future
Lapping up the past like jungle juice slipping through my fingers
Frozen for the future
And the flavor of it lingers
The sun is shinin on my unmade bed
A ruffled pillow for a knucklehead
Alarm is blaring but I just hit snooze
And there's no color but the back-then blues
My tongue is tied up to the future tense
And though I've been where I've been where I've been
I'm popping addy then some sleeping pills
And I'm not staying young
I'm staying still
Lappin up the past like jungle juice slippin through my fingers
x
x
Ferment the past in the bath
But porcelain will crack
'Cause memories have mass
I'm giving my days to the daze

Nothing Left
03:48
|
|||
What if I just chose to be alone?
Oh god,
Could you imagine what I'd do when I got home?
I'd jump inside the static of a scrolling clicking habit
And I'd never come out
What if I just left you two alone
Oh god,
You'd probably run away,
Like dinosaurs you'd roam
And chewing on the leaves that
I left for you
But you keep on forgetting
That I'm not just pretending
We've got nothing
Nothing left to do
What if I just called you on the phone
And told you that I knew before we met that I'd be yours
I'd hope that this indifference
Would warm upon the light of day
I hope so
But you keep on forgetting
That I'm not just pretending
We've got nothing
Nothing left to do
There's nothing left
There's nothing left
There's nothing left to do

Lonely Metal Box
04:11
|
|||
All the oxygen is gone
In the lonely metal box
While the comets and the rocks
Wander under stellar dawn
All the lights are blinking bright
In the lonely metal box
While the comets and the rocks
Linger over our flight
There's no time to grab my things
When there's a fissure underneath
I wonder if you'll leave with me
But your eyes just scan the dock
There's a fissure underneath
I wonder if you'll leave with me
But your eyes just scan the dock
I will lose you after dark
Look me over,
Dress me down
Your satellites just
Terraformed and tired of this
Apogee and perigee
Touch my shoulder
And push me over the rails
Into the airlock, and I can't get out
Into the airlock, and I can't get out
And I pound and pound and pound
But it won't make a sound
No it won't make a sound
No it will not resound
