Monster

I’m too tired to meet you
I’m too burnt out to introduce myself
So drowsy and listless
Bored and frozen
Feeling all my self imposing broken baseboards in my face
My foundation is rotten
But it’s just these feelings not this place
Just my feelings, not this place
‘Cuz I’m a monster
Sinking in a dark lagoon
And seeing only by moon
Only by moon

Garbage Fire
01:30

Empathy it has expired
And we are left with a garbage fire
And it’s been a long, sad year
I’ve been trying to meet you
Trying to meet you
To tell you I love you
But the world is breaking apart
And it’s been a long, cold, night
I’ve been dying to tell you
Trying to tell you
To tell you I'm sorry
And I’m tired of being scared
And we’re married for a year of borrowed time
We got married for a year of borrowed time

Static

I went down to the pool with you
Ten years ago, was just us two
Alcohol, cans of coke
Iron bars, chlorine and smoke
And I will always remember you sweetly
If you only remember me blindly
Erase the sickness and Lynchian Static
Clear the fiberglass in my attic
PS2, me and you
ATV: Offroad Fury
These rusty thoughts
They seem sublime
The fragments of our faded time
Sister Mary, listen to me
There is nothing left to see
In every schoolyard
Every church hall
Every back alley scene in your father’s dreams
We are here, and we won’t leave
Until everybody screams
These thoughts get interrupted by hours of trying to put a hazy screen over monotony and as I try to function it gets harder and harder to just be me
Because I think I know who I’m supposed to be
But becoming him is killing me

Bro
Tell me a story
The one about how you got carried up the stairs
Pal
Your mind was foggy
Your socks were soggy from the contents of your tum
We’ll help you as you walk home, your knees wobbling
Like a newborn foal
Good night, sweet dreams,
We hope you sleep well tonight
Friend
You're gonna hate me
I’ve got another glass of water you should drink
Dude
I’ve got some bad news
We’ve gotta walk 4.3 miles back to home
We’ll help you as you walk home, your face paler than the rising moon
Good night, sweet dreams
We hope you sleep well tonight
Hey man, we love you
There’s warmth in waking up for you
Good night, sweet dreams, I know you’ll sleep well tonight

Asleep and Out of Love
01:51
|
|||
|
And if breathing’s still the hardest thing for me
I’m just laughing, that’s the only way to be
So I mope at home with Orange on computer screen
That perfect opiate, it ain’t ever gonna leave
And It feels like
I’ll always fall asleep and out of love
And it feels like I’ll always just be me
Bloated and free
But it’s alright
I’m still here
It’s alright
I ain’t goin’ nowhere

I Wish
02:12
|

So let me introduce this little thought to break this chain reaction
This simple little concept plants a seed in me
That is growing a dead tree
Oh, I wish you were someone that I could hold
I wish my live a had a right to be here
I wish that I were bigger than these bullshit feelings
Perfection is a wonky phrase it depends on the perceiver
And I perceive that quality in front of me
When you are what I see
Oh, wish you were someone that I could hold
I wish my love had a right to be here
I wish that I were bigger than these bullshit feelings
And yeah, this is about you, but you’ll never know it.
Nah-nah-nah-nah nah-nah-nah-nah-nah nah-nah-nah-nah-nah NAH-NAH-NAH
And yeah, there's still no time
For me to find out
Just exactly
What kind of freak it is you see in me
Good or bad
Dead or Dad
I can see that it is sad
To hear these futile lines sung to no one
Guess I'm a statue
Sculpted just to
Be in your view and hide this pathetic truth behind these words
This is about you, but you'll never know it

Never Get Over You
02:12
|
|||
|
The harassing clock. A sickening shock
An influx of dreams and figures
And I know there’s people that constantly hear the screams like I do
That are still scraping shit and stowing away their dreams like old news
In a hoarders garage, all stacked and scattered
My depressing, hopeless hazard
Will burn and crackle and fade like all those memories of you
Leaving a black, sooty scar that is constantly scuffing my shoe
And walking up that steep hill with the ghost of our third thrill
I know
I’ll never get over you, never get over you
These years, they’re circling and sucked down
My life's unfiltered drain
I’m numb from any pain
Trapped like a dog in a car sauna
Quickly losing air
Pretending not to care
And when I try and think of you I’ll scope the stain on my shoe
And never get over you, never get over you
Rip this goddamn tongue right out of my throat
Please take away this ability to emote
I swear I will never get over you

When The World Ends
03:45
|
|||
|
When I left to build your perfect fountain
I never looked back as I walked towards my goal
Toward my home made of dirt and disappoint
To paint your memory and to live inside this tomb
I am standing
On an island
Slipping down an ice-caked sidewalk
Falling onward, down to vacant pasts
And laughing
I hope to see you when the world ends and you’ll finally see me
Bless you darling
For me you’re always leaving
Always fading
And I’m constantly alone
But that’s okay
Someday I won’t find you
But I'll learn to live
And love my regrets
I am living
For tomorrow
And shooting at zombies from the past
Desperately searching for someone to save
Finding no one
I hope to see you when the world ends and you’ll finally see me
And falling fast and bleeding again
You’ve sprung a leak he’s made just for you
You’re living proof of every failure
At the edge of this this, he still just wants to be
That shining green and yellow ideal
But all he sees is red
I am standing
On an island
Built up from
Bullshit from the past
And if this is my curse
To just stay here
With no life raft
I hope to see you when the world ends and you finally see me
And the truth is, darlin’, it’s me who’s always leaving
But I just can’t see it, and so I’m left mercilessly alone
But that’s okay
There is beauty in this darkness
And a light that shines through the most boring suburban homes
I am standing
In New York City
And what I see means so much more to me
Than any Vanilla Sky
Or the songs we sing
Although the streets are empty
I hope to see you when the world ends and you’ll finally see me
I hope to see you when the world ends, yes we’ll finally explode
I hope to see you when the world ends, we’ll mean nothing at all
I hope to see you when the world ends and we find we don’t exist

God, how I miss you
In ways I can’t even begin to express
You can’t imagine
How much I’d love to see you in that dress
But our moment is gone
And all that left is this stupid, fucking song
This tug of war is taking its toll, and every sunrise is a challenge
A new excuse to lose control
I am sick of startled strangers at Wal-Mart
And half-an-hour-long drive-thru’s
Yeah love, it’s like an ingrown hair
Gross and painful
Growin’ outta nowhere
I’ve been thinkin’ about us lately
And when push really comes to shove
You are 40% crazy and I’m 90% in love
You are 40% crazy and I’m 80% in love
It started fun, the endless drama
But after endless false fires
And every evening ending in trauma
I’m starting to lose sight of my reasons to give a fuck enough to fight
Yeah love, it’s like an ingrown hair
Gross and painful
Growin’ outta nowhere
I’ve been thinkin’ about us Stacey
And when push really comes to shove
You are 40% crazy and I’m 50% in love
You are 40% crazy and I’m 40% in love
But God, how I miss you
In ways I can’t even begin to express
You can’t imagine
How much I’d love to see you in that dress
But our moment is gone
And all that left is this stupid, fucking

3 Junkies
02:56

Penny’s gone with drugs that you take
And she won’t come back to you
And now you’re welded to this metal bench
And he’s approaching with a wrench
Penny’s gone with the drugs that you take
And she won’t come back to you
And you don’t look like who heaven sent
Already dead’s not what I meant
And if they can change your mind
I won’t see you anymore
Penny’s gone with the drugs that you take
And she won’t come back to you
And now you’re half of two and she is set
The perfect junkie you won’t forget
Penny’s gone with the drugs that you take
And she won’t come back to you
and you hope she sees you through a vague regret
Speeding toward every sunset
And if they can change your mind
I won’t see you anymore
Penny’s gone with the drugs that you take
And she won’t come back to you
But you’re not welded to any bench
There’s no approaching junkie wrench
Penny’s gone with the drugs that you take
And she won’t come back to you
But you hope you see her soon, where you go
Probably nowhere
No one knows
And if they can change your mind
I won’t see you anymore
Penny’s gone
I’m gonna miss you
You were everything
I loved meeting you
But the truth is, we’re just junkies
And that’s the problem

Temple Wreck
03:16

The temple wreck is the mess that we went through dear
The temple wreck was a construct we’ve blown up
The temple wreck was our bad year
But you don’t get it. No, you’ll never get it
Our simple truth always changes and flickers, dear
Our simple truth, with a new face it snickers
Our simple truth is gone with our years
And we can’t find it
No, we’ll never find it
We’re cliche’ cogs in a machine
And the machine is making meat
And the meat it makes is all we have to eat
His bloody hands will inspire a jihad, dear
His bloody hands will call ignorance faith
His bloody hands were made here
Here, here in the cities
Here, here in the factories
We’re cliche’ cogs in a machine
And the machine is making meat
And the meat it makes is all we have to eat
Splinters and fragments and songs from another time
Years before all was ashore
Viewfinder pictures paint scenes from a better place
Flat and square, where people care
The endless night it will make it all come true dear
The endless night when it comes without warning
Hope you checked your latch dear,
But it could never happen, no, could never happen
The last line’s a struggle, it’s painful dear
The last line, always hazy and unclear
To cover up the sad truth
That it is hard to end this
Running from the last kiss
We’re cliche’ cogs in a machine
And the machine is making meat
And the meat it makes is all we have to eat
And I’m stuck seeing only by, seeing only by moon
I am seeing only by, seeing only by moon

All Yer Bliss

Think about it like this:
How much time could we spend chasing our bliss?
When you finally place your flag atop that hill
After all your work, do you notice?
YOUR PALACE IS MADE OF DIRT!!!!
All yer bliss
As fleeting as a kiss
It'll be gone as soon as you earn the right to move on
