Luxury Car

We lock the poor in a wage
Keep the brute engine running
We lock the poor in a cage
Money in a corporate pocket
I think it’s time we reset
Feels like we’re living in dystopia
Hasn’t anyone noticed?
My eyes have seen
All the glory of a luxury car on fire
I think it’s time we reset
Resist
Disrupt
Destroy
Reset

I find something wrong in my mirror every single day
I pick and pull and pick and pull
Just can’t seem to find the right shape
I say something wrong every single day
I write and revise and write and revise
Just can’t seem to find the right words to say
Sometimes this body lets me down
Sometimes I let everybody down
I find something wrong in my mirror every single day
I pick and pull and pick and pull
Just can’t seem to find the right shape
I find something wrong every single day
I find something wrong in every single thing

Modern World

There’s a war inside my head
That no one is safe from
I’ve been feeling guilty for
Things I haven’t done yet
This modern world has got me come undone
I’ve got knots in my stomach
They’re tied so tight
They haven’t pulled apart
In two decades now
This modern world has got me come undone

Open up your window and let in some light
There’s still some fight left in this world
So tell me how does it feel to have everything we need
And still want more, we always want more
So take everything you can
No stone left unturned
No forest left un-burned
And no lesson learned
It’s not like drinking sour milk, it doesn’t read like a Burroughs book
There is no sudden shock, we’ve known all along
That we’re just a tapeworm
Swallowed up whole in the belly of the earth centuries ago
And all we do is eat, and eat and eat

Shampoo

I wake up early in the morning
And get to bed early at night
I’ve been catching up on my reading
And remembering to turn out the light
I’ve been watching what I’m eating
I get kale instead of fries
Right now I don’t have any money
But maybe sometime I might
I brush my teeth in the morning
And again at night
So why do I feel so wrong
When I’ve been living so right?
I wash my hair twice a week
I try to be nice to all the people I meet
Don’t do nothing dirty
I keep my body clean
I get bright and early
Yeah you know what I mean
I brush my teeth in the morning
And again at night
So why do I feel so wrong
When I’ve been living so right?
Don’t talk
Don’t talk to me

Dumpster Fire
04:30
|
|

I used to save bits of trash
I thought they’d remind me
Of some times that I’ve had
Now I just throw them away
We could have a dumpster fire
We could heat the whole house
And save on oil this month
We could save on oil this month

This past years been sent signing guestbooks
And saying prayers I’m not sure I believe
Nervous they’ll notice I’m wearing the same shirt
As the last time
Because grieving’s become routine
So come down now off your cross
And give those mothers their sons back
It seems like every heart I know is broken
Now I spend all my time
Worried if everyone’s got enough to eat
Because these days it seems like the only place
We can afford to live
Is on out on the street
I miss the bliss of nihilism
And being young enough to make it work
But it feels nice just to care about anything at all

Sage
05:24
|
|
||
|
This room is filled with smoke
But I could burn all the sage in the world
I’d never get rid of all my nervous energy
My hands shake
Not from all the coffee I drink
But from all my thoughts and their weight
I bite the skin on my fingertips
I told you I was Nervous all the Time
Just didn’t want you to think I’d tell a lie

Positive Feedback Loop
02:05
|
|
||
|
Everything is real these days
Just look past the simulated screen
Find out what I need and sell it back to me
You’re living in a positive feedback loop
It’s the 21st century
It’s all been done it’s all been seen
Both sides are right when they’re marketed to be
You’re living in a positive feedback loop

Nervous Laughter

Never cared for the Grateful Dead
But I’ve been getting tired of the Talking Heads
“Same as it ever was,” just a little different now
Like snow at the start of winter
Gleaming white and crystalline
But it ends the season covered in dirt and snow
There are cranes flying overhead
Building nests not meant for me
They’re developing hell
“Units are leasing now”
I don’t think this joke is funny
I’m just nervous laughing

Southern State
03:09

I’ve heard why cry for a moment
When you could weep for a lifetime
But I say it’s nice just to hang your head
Even just for a little while
But we can’t sit here and cry our day away
Face as red as a southern state
We’ve got to look past the hopelessness and dismay
We’ve got work to do
But I’ve got work today
This is a burning world
But at least I’m breathing
This is a burning world
At least I’m awake

Burning World
03:50

|

What are your anxieties?
I’m paranoid and always worried
So don’t worry, we’ve all got them
But has it always been this way?
This is a burning world
And these are heavy times
So just do as you please
Just try not to do your worst
We’re all just aesthetics
Sometimes I feel hopeless
