Welcome Back

welcome back to life, what did you bring home? a tiny skeleton that moves the way I do?
I am part of hysteria because I am part of you
tourniquet won’t stop the flow, we turn around and watch it go.
If I could just listen… or I could go missing… then I would go missing and this feeling would stop
welcome back to life, what did you bring home? a tiny skeleton that moves the way I do? (controlled)
I am part of the hysteria because I am part of your soul
melancholic episodes been playin’ on the radio. if I could just listen…or I could go missing….then I would go missing. and this feeling would stop taking all my time
it’s the only way I use to say to myself “we don’t feel nothing at all”
it’s the only way I used to say to myself, we don’t feel nothing

what’s left? all the houses are blending in, but I swear it’s a bad trip. Always take what I’m offering: a reflection…
they’re having a party and they’re never gonna let you in no matter how hard you try.
[distinct star finds no resolve]
they’re having a party and they’re never gonna let me in no matter how hard I try.
In the distance, it’s starting, I can see them multiply
no matter how hard I try, I see my reflection
syncing up my blue sky, face becomes the crime
you strip me, I ’m naked eye
identity * sole belief * the fed machine * wear my skin * soul purpose * beautiful people without a soul *
[distinct star finds no resolve]

Doz Roses

again, I can’t…a dozen roses sent to me, I can’t pretend
Mirrors, like a body
moves just like me but only when I’m watching
lonely like you know me
send the memory to my head
again, I can’t…a dozen roses sent to me, I can’t pretend…
If I could (but I can’t) I’d buy you some time
but I can’t (so I won’t)
I’ll buy you a dozen roses

truth effect
it’s pathetic that I could tell by the way you said it
stockholm, it’s chemical when it feels right
don’t want to make a scene, don’t want to catch the light
enter the void but you’ve been living here your whole life
you wanna make it feel like you’re a passerby
I could tell by the way you said it
stockholm, its chemical when it feels right
don’t wanna make a scene, don’t wanna catch the light
enter the void, but you’ve been living here your whole life
you wanna make it feel like you’re a passerby
stockholm, it’s chemical and it feels right
don’t want to make it seem like you won’t compromise
welcome to hell, but you’ve been living here your whole life
you wanna make it feel like you’re a passerby
everyone can see it in your eyes
you think this life is real but I won’t sympathize
every time you think the words are right
a mouse on the keys: quiet out of spite
you make it hard to feel like you’re a passerby
don’t want to let them know, don’t want to catch the light
you make it hard to feel like you’re a passerby
you think this life is real, you’re fucking hypnotized

Strange Way

the darkest dream
the tallest tree i’ve ever seen in front of me
I can’t look away…its roots like snakes / they wrap my legs / I let them stay.
they stop above my lips to say a hiss…
“you don’t make it easy on us…you don’t make yourself easy to love”
but do I bring said hell on myself?
I can’t unsee in the light, but if you think it might help…then I do too
now I can only feel in the strangest way
when my eyes tell my brain of the contact I’ve made.
I’m smiling with nothing to say...
but do I bring said hell on myself?
I can’t unsee in the light, but if you think it might help…then I do too
but I know I can’t get what I want for free
now I can only feel in the strangest way

Baby Step To Revenge

baby step to revenge
no ignorance can throw me off from my plans so I baby step to…
a slow moving image…dancing skeletons
a slow moving image…fast when the record spins
all the feelings you hold back from feeling but you know what you’re nearing so reach out and get it
all the fear…all you need is right in front of you
baby step to revenge
two truths and a lie:
I never choose to waste my time
all feelings will come before they leave and consume my mind
my hands are tied
when I know I can’t take it anymore, it can always go back to how it was before
no I cannot take this anymore
I’m lying on the ceiling, staring at the floor
all the fear is all you needed

Weak To Leaf
05:03
|

|
my lonely choir, love becomes a waste of time
before I could leave, my hands were tied
I turn my eyes around
I see no fault and waste no time
because lately I’ve been weak to leaf and it bums me out
I forget to breathe, panic in harmony
I figured I’d hold out for something, hoping it was temporary
because lately I’ve been weak to leaf, and it burns me out
or maybe i’ve been too weak to leave
sold my soul to dull my senses
who owns the rights to my head?
shut it off, disconnect it
sold my soul to dull my senses

Grass

I like smoking grass
I like the sun, it keeps me warm
it melts the earth
when we all die and get pulled back to the dirt
I’ll be smiling, I’ll be sad that everything was just temporary
hey, why am I trying to change things when I don’t even know what I’m dreaming of?
the change in my pocket’s spent drowning the same old thoughts inside my head
because it melts the earth
and I’ll be smiling…
it’s a heavy freedom, you don’t deserve it
face is lost and the ability to feel it
no more thoughts, no more opinions
if you’re here or you’re uncertain
don’t be kind, don’t be selfish
I’m afraid I’ll love you for it
if you can focus through the panic, you’re just a body shaped vibration
am I looking at one or two things?
asking the question means you’re choosing
do you remember what it felt like when you didn’t doubt anything?
now you don’t talk, you only listen
in your head’s a charmed existence
if you can focus through the panic, you’re just a body shaped vibration
but don’t thank me, I’m just following rotation
I like smoking grass
I like the sun, it keeps me warm
it melts the earth
when we all die and get pulled back to the dirt
well I’ll be smiling, I’ll be sad that everything was just temporary…
