1.Worker Bee
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
Don all the glands, black holes and lions
The constant companions of noxious suppliers
Carnival kings milking holiday sins
Comas in cashmere
It went from no good to fucked up and over
A total distortion of life, long (assorters？？)
Barreling headfirst, 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 re-surfacing too
It makes me feel broken, 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
2.A Lifeless Ordinary (Need a Little Help)
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 insights
From other people's ugly insides
All this bitterness is starting to grow cold
When comfort is 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 re-align the edges
I'm doing very well, I thank you
All this empathy 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'd 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
I'd 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
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
3.Her Words Destroyed My Planet
Maybe you were right after all
Maybe I'm just bad news
I've been drowning in memories
Call it residual booze
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 Xbox to Jimmy down the street
Hell, 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 fucking 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
4.Disappear
To the deep end, to the heart line
Hold it straight together, man
Hold it straight together, if you can
Little fevers wrapped in dedication
All strung out on novelty
Collapse yourself and try to comprehend
An angry island, a bitter bee sting
Severing each artery
To free the self and fix the in-betweens
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
Any time I want to, time I feel you
Shovel 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
Shovel 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
Shovel 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
And I can disappear
Anytime I want to, time I feel you
Shovel through my skin
I am with you til the end
I am with you til the end
5.Delirium
There's a stain, there's a stain, there's a stain on the floor
I wanna soak, wanna scrub, wanna clean it, and more
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
All full of joy, full of glee, jubilation and more
These crazy stupid mother fuckers 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
I swim in pharmaceuticals
I swim in pharmaceuticals
The medicine deactivates the things I take
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 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
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
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
6.History Lesson
What are you asking me for
It's not my god damn 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 are you asking me for
It's not my god damn history
What do you hope to find here
There's nothing left as you can see
There was something in the waves
That arrived to take our place
We were broken one by one
By angels in the sun
Now we sit and drink all day
Telling tales of yesterday
And it always ends the same
What are you asking me for
It's not my god damn history
What do you hope to find here
I thought I'd made it crystal clear
We learned a lot about the art of contradiction
We learned a lot about the company we keep
We learned a lot about what keeps us all together
I'm with you until the end
What are you asking me for
What are you asking me for
What are you asking me for
(it's not my god damn history)
What are you asking me for
(it's not my god damn history)
What are you asking me for
(it's not my god damn history)
What are you asking me...
Let the beatings now begin
7.Stand Too Close
If I stand too close
I might fall in
But if I'm too far gone
I'll never win
And if you believe in me
I might just wanna 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 attitudes
All this distance...
Years of sweet resistance
Swirling overhead 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 was some truth in what you say
All this distance...
Years of sweet resistance
Swirling overhead like angry clouds of disco
If I stand too close
I might fall in
But if I'm too far gone
I'll never win
And if you believe in me
I might just wanna spend some time with you again
I'll spend 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 wanna spend some time with you again
8.Pulp Fiction
Smoke and mirrors and everything nice
I wasn't married to the weekend I was banking？ on the back end
Kamazaki and miami vice
She shook a few of my favorite things
？？ Like Coke n' egger ？？？
I couldn't keep it all together
I was spookin' in the end zone
Origato, go go gadget arms
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
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 to cartwheel at every turn
The creepy calls, a case of revenge
I had the martyrs that I bartered from the barons with the
bandoliers
Karaoke, a femenine 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
Torn in opposite directions
The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous
A wicked (working？) nightmare,
covering the tracks that had brought you there
The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous
Cave in, cave out, nothing but nervous doubt
Waiting for the big bang to get me
Cave in, cave out, nothing but nervous doubt
Waiting for the big bang to get me
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 dream 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
Torn in opposite directions
The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous
A wicked (working？) nightmare, covering the tracks that had
brought you there
Paranoid and frozen in the heavens like a slasher film
Torn in opposite directions
The plot sucks but the killings are gorgeous
God damn, these killings are gorgeous
9.@!#@!
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 our 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 spat out your commands;
remember that we all feel the weather,
we all feel the weathering hours of disconnect.
That we may fear the Litmus Test
？
for a better way to all stick together.
We'll 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!
10.Hysteria
Tick-tock, sweat, switch up the fingers,
Those silly integers; 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, scrape, slash, burn up the courage,
That tawny-yellow cat- always on vacation.
I wish I hadn't been so damn obscure,
I just tried too hard for the perfect word score.
Can't stand it, end up cursing out the covers,
A little J＆B for restless leg in effigy.
Damn you, camera and your lack of emotion.
I sling my blades at everyone,
Collect 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.
11.Skin and Bones
What if 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
Full of 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 pixy 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's 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, (or？) does it all just simply turn to dust
＊Can you feel it, if you feel it＊？ (Backing vocals)
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 will we be alright...
＊Tonight tonight tonight＊ (Backing vocals)
Will we get lost slowly drifting through these dead
and lonesome heights
Will we be alright left alone tonight
12.The Weakends
Quicksand is a coat of arms,
Looseleaf and some liquid fiction.
Last Rites every Friday night,
Am I weaker with the lights on？
High tide tight 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 weak ends down the drain, down the drain.
I'll kick tomorrow,
Fight back at the pouring rain.
I'll send the weak ends 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.
Last lunge never looked so good,
It's a junk show all the way.
As years go crashing by,
I think of all I've pondered,
So many minutes squandered,
So many things undone.
I've tried 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 weak ends down the drain, down the drain.
I'll kick tomorrow,
Fight back at the pouring rain.
I'll send the weak ends down the drain, down the drain.
I'll kick tomorrow...
I'll send the weak ends...
I'll kick tomorrow...
I'll send the weak ends...
I'll kick tomorrow...
I'll send the weak ends...
I'll kick tomorrow... (fight back at the pouring rain)
I'll send the weak ends... (fight back at the pouring rain)
I'll kick tomorrow,
Fight back at the pouring rain.
I'll send the weak ends down the drain, down the drain.
I'll kick tomorrow,
Fight back at the pouring rain.
I'll send the weak ends down the drain, down the drain.
