baby candy thief
malevolent despicable
blood drips from your teeth
unpleasant unforgivable
I’ll peel the skin from your face
like the flesh of an orange
streetlamps rusted glow
put you 6 feet below
I will kill you dead
for what you have done
weight lifts off my chest
drive into the sun
no Jekyll you're just Hyde
pernicious reprehensible
rancid bile inside
atrocious and contemptible
I’ll peel the skin from your face
like the flesh of an orange
streetlamps rusted glow
put you 6 feet below
I will kill you dead
for what you have done
weight lifts off my chest
drive into the sun

Fuschia Violet Indigo

paralyzed
blinded by a light
scared to die
fire in the sky
an unsuspecting target
a small town
no one will notice
flying saucers in the air
on summer nights when no one cares
fuchsia violet indigo
excitement fades into despair
my vessel has drifted off course
to a star system mortal men fear
crash landed on a planet
far more primitive than here
no safety on this alien frontier
but I must persevere
flying saucers in the air
on summer nights when no one cares
fuchsia violet indigo
excitement fades into despair
lust mistaken for true love
infatuation turns to dust
fuchsia violet indigo
sun sets on euphoria

Butterflies Arranged
03:39
|
|

lately I've been feeling teal
a shade of blue
a crystal pool projected onto the room
wipe those tears away
I'm paralyzed but fear is here to stay
staring vacantly at those butterflies arranged
spelling out your name
sleep to forget
sleep to restart the cycle
although it may have changed
I'm racing a bullet
I'm chasing the train
use your hand as a palette to cover the page
staring vacantly at those butterflies arranged
no one is to blame
if you don't have a home
your heart is somewhere else
all this time alone
but I don't feel myself
is it better to be sad or angry
I'm gazing blankly at the stars

I'm always the villain in my own dreams
cuz God don't want me to rest in peace
warm lethargy
another cup of coffee won't fix
don't think less of me
another habit I have to kick
stay with me
I'm always the villain in my own dreams
cuz God don't want me to rest in peace
ground underfoot
another step won't rotate the earth
hell overlooked
another cigarette wouldn't hurt
stay with me
stacks of paper on the floor
empty cages with open doors
if I could rewind time and do it all again
I just might do it different

Plastic Rain

I've gotta break this curse before it kills me, kills me
I've been listening to the birds, they know the real me, feel me?
you go
out of here
right now
the lighthouse shines right through
when you feel trapped
like the mice inside the walls
I'll listen for you
just keep howling like a dog
and if the stars decide our fate
you can keep the plastic rain
the dead leaves reduced to tumbleweeds
squirrels play pachinko way up in the trees
when the sky is finally blue again
the trees let out sighs of relief in unison
and if the stars decide our fate
you can keep the plastic rain
to whom it may concern
I've got no regrets
every learned lesson
earned check
left turn and stone left unturned

Technical Difficulties

I miss the person I thought I knew
before the facade fell apart and revealed the truth
I'm begging you
please stand by
excuse this interruption
we'll push through this disruption in time
call it luck call it murphy's law
everything's always going wrong
I'm begging you
please stand by
excuse this interruption
we'll push through this disruption
and find a way out of this mess
Technical difficulties technical difficulties technical difficulties technical difficulties
I must have screwed up my karma bad
I crashed every car I've ever had
I'm begging you
please stand by
excuse this interruption
we'll push through this disruption in time
facing death with eyes already dead
try to run and hide but there's nowhere left
I'm begging you
please stand by
excuse this interruption we'll push through this disruption
and find a way out of this mess
Technical difficulties technical difficulties technical difficulties technical difficulties

Midwestern Goodbye

I've been at this party for too long
let’s go let’s go right now
a bullet to heaven
shoot it like a cat walks across the moon
the clock strikes eleven
but time is always flying when I'm with you
and I want you to know that
you make me happy
that much is true
a bullet to heaven
shoot it like the cat walks across the room
I've been at this party for too long
let’s go let’s go right now
I don’t wanna be anywhere else but home
when i'm with you I never wanna be alone
a bullet to heaven
shoot it like a cat walks across the moon
the clock strikes eleven
but time is always flying when I'm with you
and I want you to know that
this midwestern goodbye may never end
a bullet to heaven
shoot it like the cat walks across the bends
what if it goes wrong
what we ask ourselves
what if it goes wrong
what we ask ourselves

Don't Wanna Miss You

I wanna, I wanna, I wanna live my life anew
or maybe just return back to the way I used to
childhood feels like so many lives ago to my ego
but in my soul I know it’s every day, hey
maybe someday I could finally get to know you
from a me who has no expectations of you
ain’t it funny how so much thinking of you
leaves me knowing you less and less
when will you come by?
I haven’t seen you in some time
I wanna get you into my heart
so I gotta get you outta my mind
I’m nostalgic for a time where I was not resentful
before cruelty made me anticipate the worst
kick and cry for the bad times, then feel sentimental
are we reborn into gladness as long as we grieve first?
I want us to make things right
heal our past life, wash off the dirt
learning to be fully present is a strange rebirth, painful but worth it
when will you come by?
I haven’t seen you in some time
I wanna get you into my heart
so I gotta get you outta my mind
how can I learn to reach you
when you are here but not here too
I can hear and see and speak to you
but I don’t really feel you
I wanna feel you, really really feel you
a simple gesture can breathe new life into a severed bond
but it’s so tempting to withdraw
without a word I understand whether you feel me or not
and despite your words I can feel when you are gone
when I think I miss you, I do
when I think I know you, I lose
curiosity renews the bond between us
we have to follow through
and we have to want the truth
why make assumptions instead of asking questions?
if something doesn’t feel right, why keep settling for less?
knowledge is worthless if you cannot apply it
it’s better to show devotion than to describe it
don’t just let it be implied, yeah
can we make things right?
I miss our light
I wanna think you’re so cool
I wanna think you suck
I wanna care so much about everything
and I wanna not give a single fuck
help me let go, unclench my fists
I just wanna stop feeling so stuck
when will you come by?
I haven’t felt you in some time
wanna get you into my heart
so I gotta get you outta my mind
what can I do to reach you
when you are here but not here too
I don’t wanna miss you while you’re here
I wanna feel you, really really feel you
when did my silences become violent instead of peaceful?
when did I start hiding myself from you?
when did you become more of an obstacle than a muse?
and when did I stop feeling so curious about you?
why did I start assuming the worst, like
maybe you don’t care, or maybe I’m cursed?
how did I forget the truth?
I don’t want to miss you while you’re here, no
can we make things right?
I miss our light
maybe someday I could finally get to know you
from a me who has no expectations of you
ain’t it funny how so much thinking of you
leaves me knowing you less and less
I wanna get you into my heart
I gotta get you outta my mind
I wanna get me into my heart
I gotta get me out of my mind
how can I reach you
when you’re here
but you’re not here
here but you’re not here
you’re here but you’re not here
I don’t want to miss you while
you’re here but you’re not here
you’re here but you’re not here
you’re here but you’re not here
I haven’t felt you in some time
