Give Me The World
03:10

It goes like this: Falling Falling
It goes like this: Crawling Crawling
I was dropped, I was weak, left behind
Fractured skull helps me speak my mind
Can you give me the world?
Can you give me rubies
Sapphires diamonds
Emeralds pearls
No one earned it I deserve it
Give it to me
It’s my airtight birth right
Give me the world
So what did I miss? I’m so sandy
A poisonous kiss tastes like candy
Though you don’t mean to burn my tongue or rot my teeth
Though we don’t speak, I know you think the world of me
Can you give me the world?
Can you give me rubies
Sapphires diamonds
Emeralds pearls
It goes like this

If That's All
03:55

How many times do I have to die just to talk to you
And it’s nothing new, You know we’re overdue
I’d break my back and have a heart attack just to get your name
And it’s not the same when you’re a picture frame
I never hurt nobody, so why you got to shoot me down
And if that’s all you really are, another fading shooting star
Another waterless canteen, another king without his queen
And if our fates don’t intertwine and if the planets don’t align
I’ll pretend I’m doing fine and make believe that you were mine.
Close my eyes tell myself some lies just to hold you in my dreams
It’s all for nothing when I’m awake
No surprise, who do I criticize when life’s not as it seems
It’s all for nothing except for heartache.
I never hurt nobody so why you got to shoot me down
And if that’s all you really are, another fading shooting star
Another waterless canteen, another king without his queen
And if our fates don’t intertwine and if the planets don’t align
I’ll pretend I’m doing fine and make believe that you were mine.
And if that’s all you really are, another bloody battle scar
Another horse that won’t be tamed, another moth sucked into flame
And if that’s all you choose to be, you’ll still be oxygen to me
And as I suffocate in time, I’ll make believe that you were mine

Everybody's Stupid

Everybody's stupid
Swallow but don't chew
It's okay, you were raised that way
So you could be stupid too
Everybody's stupid
It causes Deja Vu
Look in the mirror just to see a bit clear-er
That you can be stupid too
Let me be stupid too

Second Place
00:59
|

|
There was a boy
Who’d sell his soul to prove that he could be a man
It would give him joy
To the jump the gun and hope you’d later understand
We’re so sorry,
Please forgive the bitterness of winning and a humble embrace
It’s so funny
The symptom of self loathing isn’t common
For people like you, people who never come in
Second Place
When he’d take his turn
He’d make the others look like garbage compared to art
If the world should burn
He’d keep on marching to the beat of his own heart
We’re so sorry,
The competition wishes you would run with a tangled shoelace
It’s so funny
To vandalize a paralyzed notion
That’s just like you: someone who never falls in
Second Place
We’re so sorry
The lies we told you no longer apply here, when you’re a head case
It’s so funny
Depression and perfection correlating,
So suffer for first or settle in repose for
Second Place.

Glue
04:17

What made you stop to say hello?
You almost walked by with barely any eye contact
I met you somewhere long ago. Sometime.
I think I met you on a train.
Crossing through Germany, I didn’t even wanna be there.
You shifted seats to watch the rain.
Slide by.
You drink all day, you’re my little Hemingway,
I’d bet running with scissors thrills you
Or anything that kills you
You say, I’m in your way
A distraction that you’ll “Have to bid adieu”
Touche, you’re so cliché
Too bad it seems that now we’re stuck like glue
You seem a fan of comedy
Laugh like a child, your teeth and gums are contagious
Forget the way you look at me. I die
You look and act just like a rose
Perfect to look at but this conversation’s outrageous
Sometimes it’s fun just to oppose to hear you sigh
And in between, you’ll call me a philistine
Because a peasant like me can’t be hanging with a queen
You make a scene, you’re my new amphetamine
We end up laughing in the cabin and falling all over one another
I know you have to go
But you can’t blame me trying to pursue
Too slow, you can’t say no
You enjoy the chase so now we’re stuck like glue
I ask you if you’re okay, but do you receive
You say you’d like to stay, but you turn to leave
You sigh, I drain you dry
Even though you know you love me too
Don’t cry, you say goodbye
Now that we’ve been peeled apart like glue
I’ve only met you in a dream
Are you okay? Are you okay?
I thought you lied when you said your parents died
But that’s fine because now you’ve got more free time
But that’s selfish of me, Isn’t it?
I’m falling short, you’re working on your report
On some shit, but you couldn’t pay me enough
To look away from you for one second
We touch our toes, picking at each other’s nose
And hold hands, I mean if that’s cool with you
You can hold your cigarette in the other one

Statue

If life is a pigeon, I am a statue
Apparently some birds just don’t fly
From here in the town square; I get to look at you
While everyone else looks at the
They tell you at our age, the people get wiser
But that’s not the case for me
It’s funny how grass grows with fertilizer
I’ll take it and see
I’m trying to build myself back up again
I get a little lost every now and then
I’m trying to build myself back up again
I only say sorry, when I get caught
If nobody knows then who gets hurt?
Don’t try to compare us, we’re not the same
We come from different parts of holes in space
Wish I could erase all that went wrong, it’s been so long
I’m trying to build myself back up again
I get a little lost every now and then
I’m trying to build myself back up again
There’s still one thing on my mind:
If I say it’s not your fault, then, is it mine?
I’m trying to build myself back up again
Exactly when I’m done I won’t know when
I’m trying to build myself back up again
I don’t know what I’m going to do without you

Locked In
03:09

Hello, how's life, how have you been?
I'm fine, hope it's the same with you
Holding back there's a stutter and a cough
Convincing but we know it's not true
You caught me at an awkward time
I look like a mess but I just stopped by to say hi
Ripped clothes and a broken nose
Well yeah but you should see the other guy
Now's the silence, cue to my exit
But the doors are locked and people are staring
Hoping someone else will say that they're sorry
As the setting sun
Do I look like I'm looking for trouble
I'm just looking for somebody I once knew
Your luck changes every corner you turn
Which just so happens to happen to me too
I hate your friends that flinch when I curse
Or laugh when I am ordering a coke
So I don't drink their sparkling wine
I vomit when I recall the last time that we spoke
Grasp at straws, you want to scream,
But you drown it out with "How can I help you
If you keep doing this to yourself? I'm as sorry
As the setting sun"
I believe you, I'm indecisive,
I'll say out loud just whatever you want to hear
Until then you'll be just as sorry
As the setting sun
As a pointed gun
As the setting sun

Goodnight
03:46

Darling, can't you hear me breathing
Cold as ice and immature
Our hearts were once together beating
Severed ties, not anymore
And I'm trying to stop the bleeding
From masochistic escapades we knew
But my looks can be deceiving
And the life escaped my lips and left with you
Every now and then I wake up
Buried in the grave I made
It's Your Kindness that has killed me
Underground I'm so afraid
And I'm trying to reach my hand through
But the rain has driven everyone away
And I'm suffocating for you
Bring me flowers on a better day
I know that you're an angel
And a fool, misunderstood is all you see
But my wings have lost their luster
I don't deserve the warmth you offer me
Goodnight

Dirty Little Mouth
06:41

That dirty little mouth is spewing, it won’t stop
That dirty little mouth Is cancer, it’s gonna pop
Is it you, the bane of any existence, scum of the earth, ruiner of face
Is it you, the train of plenty resistance, meant to kill the strong without leaving a trace
That dirty little mouth is toxic, volatile
That dirty little mouth is rancid, cold blooded reptile
Is it you, who feeds off of another’s pain, hope to ride the crest of their tsunami wave
Is it you, who gets caught and can’t explain, with your hand in your pants, who you trying to save?
That dirty little mouth is alive, it’s gotta die
That dirty little mouth has run astray, it’s gotta die
What’s the point in reprimanding your deaf ears, you can’t hear the world calling your bluff
Why bother trying to get even with a worm when living as yourself is punishment enough
Shut up, don’t lie
Shut up, or die
You won’t stop until you get more more more, pedophile, rapist, bloodsucking whore

Get to Know Them

Congratulations on your stone face
It's a discrepancy you're telling me is coincidentally accidental
Exactly where do you get off when standing on the shoulders of others?
You must feel so tall but even from down here you look so small.
Abusive, scavenge for scraps, vulture swine, manic depressive
The armor's transparent, but it is thick
And you people remind me of sand, in masses unstoppable
But once you pick at it, grain-by-grain, they lose meaning really quick
God I hate the way you talk, overdose on verbose and unnecessary breath
Saturated with fatty oils and cyanide
It's like you're always in shock, speaking slow-paced, with a rictus face
The grass is purple on the other side
You have so much respect for people before you get to know them

That's Okay

Come out, come out from under wherever you are
Smash any boulders in your way
Hot damn flashing supernova star
Burn until the night turns into day
You’re alone cause you’re ahead of the pack
Not much they can do from tapping your back
If they don’t like who you are
That’s okay
Everybody’s looking like their moving slow
Maybe we just move too fast
I think there’s something here that they don’t know
I don’t think we’re moving very fast
I’d love to know what you’ve got on your mind
I’m afraid to see just what I’ll find
And If it’s all just nonsense
That’s okay
Nothing matters anyway,
That’s okay
Make the choice to disobey
That’s okay

Crocodile Tears
03:47
|

Everyone’s a victim to you
Well I can play a victim too
Just paint a target on my chest
And watch me go
It can be so easy to be,
When the paper on your back says “Kick me”
Just be smarter, stupid martyr
Enjoy the show
I’m so lost without you
Everyone’s a landmine now
Everything’s a sacred cow
The boy who cried for wolf
Cries himself to sleep
The company, camaraderie of unassuming peers
For a while lets you smile through crocodile tears
I’m so lost without you
All your words can set the world on fire
The panic only sends it higher
Just form a happy trail from your blackmail
It’s what you’re all about
Black and white, no need to fight the million different shades
Learned helplessness is stressing this is more than just a phase
I’m so lost without you
Victim! Victim! Everyone’s a victim
Drowning in the ignorance of sensitivity
Brown nose panty hose tripping over death throws
Just what kind of threat do you think it’s going to be
This solipsistic, nihilistic blend got you so far
But realism kicks your teeth and drowns you in the tar
I don’t want you to cry about it (You say you won’t )
I don’t want to pretend to think it through (You say you won’t )
I don’t wanna be shy about it (You say you won’t )
I don’t wanna pretend it’s all for you (You say you won’t )
