Loneliest Bug
04:16
|
|||
Sometimes I wonder
If all of my friends
Are really just regular people
And sometimes I wonder
If regular people
Are really just all of my Friends
I'm The loneliest bug out on the bend
Sitting all alone in my den
Thinking 'bout my friends
I think of all the people
Who came and went back out like nothing
I think of all the time
And how I'd like to fill it up with something
And the emptiness that lurks
And fills you up with something heavy
And sinks you through your day just like a stone
I'm the loneliest bug out on the bend
Sitting all alone in my den
Thinking 'bout my friends
Maybe we all balance
To keep our thoughts fully intact
And slip off in the night
When something small comes to distract us
And no one really knows
Which direction leads us to
The places we've been meaning to go
I'm the loneliest bug out on the bend
Sitting all alone in my den
Thinking bout my friends

The Eyeball Song
02:34
|

What's up with time?
And what's up with you?
You're doing all the things that you
Don't wanna be doing
Yeah you're twiddling your thumbs
As you're drifting through
And you're sleeping when you're walking
And you're dreaming with your eyes open
Eyes open wider than the sky
I wish that I could touch your eye
With my eye
If you can't take the weather
Why don't you put on a sweater
Why don't you do what you're doing
But just a little bit better
Just a little bit smarter
And a little more funny
Why don't you have
A little more money, honey
Honey is dripping from your lips
I wish that I could touch your lips
With my lips
There is something tender hardening
Oh, I can feel it happening
And I can't remember what it used to be
No, I can't remember what it meant to me
So who do you think you're fooling, who?
No one in this world has been watching you
And there's really nothing that we need to do
You were just using me while I was using you
If I had a dollar for every time I got to thinking
That I spend too much time blinking
And all the seconds in between
They start to fizzle at the seams
And I don't know when I'm dreaming
Yeah, I'm sleeping when I'm day walking
Spacing with my eyes open
Eyes open wider than the sky
I wish that I could touch your eye
With my eye

The Angry Song
02:52
|
|||
I'm Angry at my missing teeth, I'm Angry at my acne Scars
I'm angry at the sleazy looks I get from creepy men at bars
I'm Angry at my silly head filled with all the things I've never said
I'd ask you what to do, but I'm angry at you too
And I'm angry at the laziness that creeps inside and doesn't rest
And I'm Angry bout my secrecy and I'm Angry bout my Apathy
And I'm angry at the quantity of details I will never see
And I'm angry at all the things that time's taken away from me
And it's too bad that I'm so fucking mad
I'm angry that it costs so much to simply have a place to sleep
And I'm angry at the nasty thoughts I told myself that I would keep
And I'm angry that ideas come depleted and deformed
And I'm Angry I can't speak unless perfected and performed
And it's too bad that I'm so fucking mad
I'm angry that I can't afford to not be stressed yet still I'm bored
And I'm angry at my stuborness and all the calls that I've ignored
And I'm angry that to my friends I'm closer to a stranger
And I'm angry at the adjectives that fail to suit my anger
And it's too bad that I'm so fucking mad
I'm angry that you're angry at the things you can't control in me
And detailed explanations of all the flaws you see in me
And I'm angry that I'm angry at the things I cannot change in you and how I can't explain to you the things I wish you wouldn't do
And it's too bad That I'm so fucking mad

Woke up from a dream
And it swiftly blew away
To find yourself
In a peculiar condition today
You could call the doctor
And they'd be on their way
But you already know
Just what they'd say
There's something wrong with you
I really must confide
There's something terribly wrong with you inside
I stop to watch the people
As their days slowly unfurl
They dress up their funny body's
And they push them through the world
And they talk about their taxes
And pretend that they don't notice
That there is something decomposing
Lurking just beneath the surface
There's something wrong with you
I really must confide
There's something terribly wrong with you inside
Sitting with those feelings that you had
Caused by the nerve in your belly
That makes you sad
It's like practicing the method
Of infinite descent
I heard what you said
But I didn't catch what you meant
There's something wrong with you
I really must confide
There's something terribly wrong with you inside

It's Ok
03:44
|
|||
It's ok to sleep through the morning
I guess it's ok to not sleep in the night
And it's ok to feel boring and worn
I guess it's ok to feel nothing inside sometimes
It's ok to feel that you're not
The person you were before you forgot
Who you were
'Cause I'm sure
Pretty soon it'll come in to view
It's ok to lose it all
'Cause I'm a loser too
I picked a combination of words to be said
From the nebulous storm of pictures in my head
And from there I thought you'd know who I am
But instead
It was just a fleeting whisper of emotion
And it didn't even scratch the peel
Because the only real thing
You could ever even know about me
Is the way that I make you feel
Out of all our conversations
And all my reservations
And all the moving parts
Held precariously in my heart
I can't seem to find the right time
Treading water in my mind
It's kinda difficult to ignore
I wish someone would do it for me
It's ok to step out of line
I guess it's ok to shit your pants sometimes
And it's ok to lose all your socks
Within your fitted sheets at night
And it's ok to feel that you're not
The person you were before you forgot
Who you were
'Cause I'm sure
Pretty soon it'll come into view
It's ok to lose it all
'cause I'm a loser too

Animal
04:08
|

There's no secret in knowing
Everywhere that you've been
To get like a beetle
And crawl inside your skin
'Cause everyone in the cast of it
Don't know the half of it
Just making the faces that
Convey what they need you to see
But I witnessed you shedding
Your human disguise
Yes you turned into an animal
Right before my eyes
You turned into an animal
Right before my eyes
I saw you thinking on your years
All the things that you didn't do
Some you didn't 'cause you were broken
Some 'cause you just didn't want to
But you were trying to fool me
Hiding what's underneath
Behind your grizzly teeth
You went and you swallowed it away
But I witnessed you shedding
Your human disguise
Yes you turned into an animal
Right before my eyes
Yes you tuned into an animal
Right before my eyes

Squeezed Out
02:40
|

You sometimes forget to
Listen to what I am saying to you
And I don't alway know what I'm saying
But I wish you'd at least play along
'Cause I'd just like to be here for a second
A second pressed under my thumb
I'd just like to mention the way the light's hitting
The side of the mountain
With the dead orange leaves in the sun
There's a voice in your bathroom
says maybe I'd love you
If only you were a bit different
Shrunk down to pocket size
With smaller ears and bigger eyes
And a little less dusty inside
You have a serious way of remembering
The things you ought not be thinking about
I'm tired of hearing you telling yourself
That you're all squeezed out
There's many odd shapes and dimensions of love
There's that flirty boy back home
You often think fondly of
And the way that you're calm
And the way that you're shook
And the secret letters
Left in your notebook to find
All those times, and I'll keep them in mind
I'll keep them like relics of the tiny divine
And I'll keep them intwined
With what's lost in the rest
But I'll keep them
None the less
You have a serious way of remembering
The things you ought not be thinking about
I'm tired of hearing you telling yourself
That you're all squeezed out.

A Letter
03:42
|
|||
I am looking forward to a time years from now
Where I can write you a letter
Expressing how
You make me feel
Right now
Yes, I've just been reflecting
On all the times we had
Can't call them good
In fact you made me mad
So mad, so mad
With you up there in your big 'ol head
Not hearing a god damn thing I said
Oh well, oh well
But because of you, I can see
The toughest me I'd ever be
As far as I can tell
All the things to say
Just put 'em in a box
And ship them away
No ones listening anyway
Just two clueless people
Sitting in a cloud
Talking to ourselves out loud
I can't go telling you how to be
If I can't change the way I look at you
I'll change the way I see
I can remember various instances
Wandering at night
Under various substances
We'd find a place to lay
And gaze up above
Never quite at rest
And never quite in love
You know, I think I spent all this time
Lying through my silence
And takin' apart your mind
And trying to make sense of it
You're tangled up in blue
And there's nothing I can do
you know, I love the way you think
But I don't think I love you
All the things to say
Just put 'em in a box
And ship them away
No ones listening anyway
Just two clueless people
Sitting in a cloud
Talking to ourselves out loud
I can't go telling you how to be
If I can't change the way I look at you
I'll change the way I see

Time
02:32

Spent an hour perched on the bathroom shelf
Making faces in the mirror to myself
And it'd probably be good for my health
To find something better to do with my time
Time time time
I do this all the time
I spend too much time thinking about time
And minutes turn to days
put in boxes on a shelf
Stacked up in my mind
And I'm staring at the open door
Waiting for something to be waiting for
And I'm starting to worry
That we're all in a hurry
To just sit around and wait some more
But I wouldn't feel so far behind
If I wasn't so restless all the time
Time time time
I'd figure it all out if I could
But I got this terrible feeling
I'm not doing what I should
Maybe the nights will get longer
And the world will get smaller
And I'll miss out on everything for good
I'll miss out on everything for good
And I'm staring at the open door
sixty seconds away
From six years more
Don't know what I'm counting on
Don't know what I'm counting for
I don't know what I'm counting for
But I wouldn't feel so far behind
If I wasn't so restless all the time
Time time time time

I'm Dying
04:00
|
|||
We're on the porch under the crows nest
And you're sitting over there
Looking your best
And I may as well say something I guess
'Cause I'm dying
And you're dying
We're dying
Something happened from the very start
I'm not in love with you
'Cause that wouldn't be too smart
But some spazzy little creature
Dances 'round in my heart
When you're here
And I'm dying
Only for a life time, I'm dying
I won't be dying anymore when I'm dead
And I'm not dreaming up
Some grand fantasy
Of you leaving who you got
To run away with me
No, I'm not some
Hopeless romantic fool
I just think you're pretty cool
I just think your
pretty cool
And I'm dying
Prolly not for a while
But I'm dying
One of these days I'll be dead
One of these days
And it seems that life
just rolls along
Narrating itself
In three chord songs
about how everything is here
until the second it's gone
And if it doesn't go right
It doesn't have to be wrong
But I'm dying
It's no big deal
But I'm dying
Like everybody else
I'm dying

Take my bones
Take my sighs
Take anything from me
That you like
'Cause I'm not here
And the tension is slackening
A puppet of the Happening
Or a wizard of the night
But sitting here with you
I love you dearly
You fit so clearly
In the space that takes up you
You drink the morning in
Through and through
And the morning
Drinks you too
Take My bones
Take my lies
Take anything from me
That you like
'Cause I'm not real
And the tension is slackening
I'm just a puppet of the happening
Or a wizard of the night
But sitting here with you I love you dearly
You fit so clearly
In the space that takes up you
You drink the morning in
Through and through
And the morning
Drinks you too
