Animal

nature is cruel and i'm an animal
in more ways than one, i disgust myself
if all is lost, these songs forgotten
forget my name
a known advantage to being human
the sound of a voice, so smooth and sweet
and no exception, are the words
please come home
i always meant to come home
if i learned nothing from my father
maybe how to take a punch
so excuse me when i show affection
through kicks, bites, and cuts

Entropy
02:47
|
|||
|
moving forward is real frightening
the sheets are wet, your lover silent
i'm scared to move cut something's gonna break
every second is entropy
i think about my own death way too much
i think about where i've been and
if i should be ashamed or happy
you're exactly where you're supposed to be
I'm exactly where i'm supposed to be
there's thoughts i need to put to rest
with conversations i know i won't have
and i'm losing sleep
it's a variation on a theme
i don't wanna feel so ashamed
i can't wait to grow old and
disappoint you
i'd rather see something fade
i wanna see it all burn out

Dead
05:52
|
|||
|
all my friends are dead or dying
all my heroes are in the ground
the lure of cheap drugs is tempting
everything sounds good to me
now i don't mind just a little pain
mark it zero, it's all the same
i killed myself not too long ago
fuck me up
i'm a ghost
you're alright but your eyes look empty
no one's gotta lie to me
kill me slowly do it soft now
stick a knife in my side
i wanna be your backdoor man
i wanna die a quiet death

Car Crash
02:44
|
|||
|
i'd like to have some faith in things but i may just be misled
belief in friends in love and your parents
and the hopes that your breaks will work
new starts, new bodies, new shapes to learn
they're all thin and taste the same
unmade bed, old sentiment
they're sweet and meaningless

Primal Urges
03:45
|
|||
|
i wanna satisfy the most primal urges
i wanna feel your body close to mine
i'm longing for human touch
and i get so lonesome in a crowded room
and you know i'm scared to die
and i'm going out
alone
please break my nose
don't change the locks
don't choke me out
please choke me out
and you get so lost in the city in the one spot on the el
and everything tastes sweet
so kiss me baby until we black out
and pass out on your floor
and wake
in regret
please break my nose
don't change the locks
don't choke me out
please choke me out
always feeling for the answers in the notches on your spine
and i need
more

Rats

is this the part where i feel guilty for existing
or the part
where you feel ashamed for being involved
well we don't have to talk about it if you don't want to
cut it's all the same to me
what a time to be alive and unimportant and confused
in the age of content nausea and complacency
what a time to feel indifferent
and anxious and abused
by ones you thought you loved

Keep Quiet
04:03
|
|||
|
it's a vicious cycle, return to the same
drink my blood, forget my name
and i don't feel how i thought that i would
i'm just going through the motions of everything
sometimes I forget how to talk
so i don't recognize my voice
but it asks
why do you stay
why do you stay
but it's best if i just
KEEP QUIET
forget the name but keep the feeling
forget the taste but keep your tongue
and i'll ask again but you don't wanna hear
why do you stay

Pocket Tee
03:05
|

|
you can wear my
favorite t shirt
and i won't say a word
your eyes look heavy
your favorite color
black and blue
your lips are chapped
my hands are shaking
but i'm feeling confident
cus things taste better
when i'm sober
if i ever am anymore
said you liked me better
when i'm not speaking
so i won't say anything
you're thinking of
former lovers
that never meant anything
but i've been told
to be more subtle
and less sincere

Television
03:24
|
|||
|
the TV says that i'm in danger
i sure hope so, i'm bored as shit
things are happening somewhere else
well, i'm not too surprised
i've seen it all
if you know what's coming keep it to yourself
i've seen it all
i've seen my death
it's a car crash but who's keeping track
i wanna die right here in chicago
in a violent wreck on 55
something that's slow and public
and preferably televised
goddamn you look so pretty but
only in a certain light
i've already said too much
but i don't think anyone's keeping track
if you wanna
kill your idols then put them on a shirt
I've seen it all
I've seen my death
its a car crash but who's keeping track

ah
i think i feel it
but i can't make out the sound
put those repressed feelings in a box
and shake it
forget the name but keep the feeling on your tongue
oh i know that sound
do you hear it
next time you have an idea
put it in your pocket
keep it like a secret
or a bad joke
or an embarrassing addiction
and lose your voice
and lose your voice
forget my name
and whats the difference
when you can't tell
between the sound of your voice
and what it's like to be silent
so keep it in a box
and shake it like hell
shake it
keep it in your pocket
shake it
it's all the same
and can you feel yourself getting old
with your lungs collapsing
and your mouth is bleeding
and things you don't understand
so keep those feelings in a box
and shake it
i can't tell
when you don't feel like you're in a safe space
keep that feeling in your back pocket
and tell me what
makes you feel scared

Slow Burner

|
i'm in love with everything
but i need to be alone
i don't know
if this should hurt like it does
i don't mean to be so cold
i don't mean to make you leave
its not important
that you hate my touch
you can stay for 15 minutes
then you gotta leave
but I'm weak
i give in
wake up sweating every night
empty and satisfied
i won't be
offended if you leave
all of your shit
is thrown across the floor
i apologize
sometimes i scare myself
i wanna kill
i want to fuck
everything
