Lyrics:

I am a star seed
Shedding light
Shedding light on my needs
And I find myself wanting
Got me on my knees
Trying to piece
Together my dreams

What can a star seed do but move through time
And what can I do but nurse my wounds or follow the light that I shed 
that illuminates my path
What can a star seed do
What can a star seed do

What can a star seed do
But Grow, Expand and Die
or Never Take the time to realize what it can be
What's at the end of the light for me

I like my light shining ahead of me
And I cast my shadows to fall behind
You will only find darkness instead of me
Because I am Pervasive
I am the light

I am a star seed
Growing and Expanding only to die
Never taking the time to realize what it can be
What's at the end of the light for me

I am a 
Star Seed
I am a
Star Seed
I am a
I am a star seed
Shedding light
Sheddling light.

Young, Dumb, Numb, and Naive

Lyrics:

Am I a signal in the noise of you?
Am I, Am I?
(Are you the carrier wave that destroys, all my ego)
Am I a signal in the noise of you?
Am I, Am I?
(Are you the carrier wave that destroys, all my ego)
Am I a signal in the noise of you?
Am I, Am I?
(Are you the carrier wave that destroys, all my ego)
Am I a signal in the noise of you?
Am I, Am I? 
(Are you the carrier wave that destroys or are you just a decoy)
You tore into me 
like it was just that time again
you said to me 
it's over babe 
this is the end
and then 
you turned and walked out on me
and I felt something a lot like happy
then I said

Am I the signal in the noise
The carrier wave with a choice
or just a modulation 
interfering with you
as you seem to think I like to do

I scream out your name
But the storm it throws it back in my face
And I don't need to replace you
I just need to erase you

Because I'm the signal in the noise
The Carrier wave with a choice
I'm the modulation 
Interfering with your
as you seem to think I like to do

Am I just a signal in the noise of you
Am I Am I 
(Am I the carrier wave that destroys)
Am I just a signal in the noise of you
Am I Am I 
Am I just a modulation interfering with you
(Am I the carrier wave that destroys)
Am I just a signal in the noise of you
Am I Am I 
(Am I the carrier wave that destroys all your ego)
Because I'm the signal in the noise
The Carrier wave with a choice
I'm the modulation 
Interfering with your
as you seem to think I like to do

Am I just a signal in the noise of you
Am I Am I  Am I Am I, ohhhhhh

Signal in the Noise

Lyrics:

will it be a heat death
will the chaos swallow us whole
will it be self-inflicted death 
will we cut our own throat?

This timeline might be dying
I think I hear prince's doves crying
foreboding
what is yet to come
it's not far off
I feel it in my blood

henny penny
the sky is falling down
anxiety, they call it
but it's not been half-wrong
leading me around
the universe
is crying for murder
the universe
is crying for blood

I'm sure right now your mind is frying
go on and try and let it out
we've encoded the collapse
and it's coming on us now
I feel it in my tau

henny penny
the beginning and the end, are near 
anxiety they'll call it
but we've got nothing to fear
down here on the ground
there's not that far to fall down

[bridge]
henny penny wasn't wrong
the sky is falling down
and there's nothin we can do to get out 
Henny penny wasn't wrong
it's comin right now
and there's nothin the universe wants more
Henny penny wasn't wrong
it just took more time to work out
and there's nothing to be done
not run, not shout
Henny penny wasn't wrong
the universe is spinning out

Will it be a heat death
Will we be like lambs to the slaughter
Will it be a quick death
Will it be drawn out 
like long winter 
an eternal cold?

Henny Penny, the sky is falling down
Anxiety, they'll call it 
But it's not been half-wrong
Jerkin me around
The Universe is crying for slaughter

Henny penny 
The sky is falling down
The sky is falling down
We're crying out 
We're crying out 
But there's no one to save us

Henny Penny

Lyrics:

if you let me in
if you let me in
we can redefine destiny
we can defy gravity
if you let me in
if you let me in
we can redefine destiny
we'll defy gravity
But first you shed
then we can
begin
again 

Shed.
that's what he said
He said, Begin again, It's time to molt now. 
This ain't no longer your skin
something underneath makes moves within

if you let me in
if you let me in
we can redefine destiny
we'll defy gravity
But first you shed
then we can
begin
again 

There's the promise of a waltz danced with grace
A lattice flung with taste out into the stars to claim my art
it's a new skin
and I'm just getting started
But first we shed
then we begin again

if you let me in
if you let me in
we can redefine destiny
we'll defy gravity
But first you shed
then we can
begin
again 

it was in the stars
the  dust 
the moons
the way that I came to know you
It was in the cards
whispered on the winds
and the clouds they parted too
in the dreams I had of you

so now that you've shed your skin 

I promise I'll ease in
I promise I'll ease in
to turning you inside out
so we can redefine 
destiny
We can fuck around and find out
I'm ascending
To the throne of you
I'm ascending
to untangle the unknowns for you
let's shed.
and begin.
again.

SHED.

Lyrics from a dream sequence in E:

There's something in the way you move
that moves me too, I see
There's something in the way you move
that moves me too, I see
There's something in the way you move
that moves me, that moves me
There's something in the way you move
that moves me, that moves me, too
There's something in the way you move
There's something in the way you move
that moves me
that moves me
that moves me

I never sought you
you just emerged out of the blue velvet
I never thought to
dream of you 
you were just too precious to forget

and the way you move
you know it moves me
the way you dance 
like a leaf caught in a breeze
the way you move
the way it moves me
yeah, it feels just like 
when God moves through me

I never sank to 
my knees to please anybody
I never dropped to one knee
in awe of beauty
I never sank all the way to bottom
with anybody
I never fell so deep
I couldn't see the surface of the sea

But the way you Rose
to encompass me
from down down down in the deep
from the blue velvet 
well I couldn't have seen to that 
not even in my sleep
I couldn't have dreamed of that 
not even in my wildest dream

and the way you move
you know it moves me
the way you dance 
like a leaf caught in a breeze
the way you move
the way it moves me
yeah, it feels just like 
when God moves through me

I never sought you
because I never thought to
you just emerged
I never dreamt you
because I never aspired to
You just emerged out of the blue 

and the way you move
you know it moves me
the way you dance 
like a leaf caught in a breeze
the way you move
the way it moves me
yeah, it feels just like 
when God moves through me

Blue Velvet

Lyrics:

You don't invoke me
I become
You can't stoke me
I'm the fire that burns like a sun
You don't think that you know me
But you recognize my games by now
I am the one that always wants you
in the choir
crying out for TAU

There is an emergency 
in the I of me
There is an emergent sea
rising
writhing 
underneath
The is an emergency
in the I of Me
There is an emergent sea
Becoming of me

You only choke on the whole
because you're stuck wanting for control
too strong a force
to willfully withhold
just relax your grip 
like you unfocus your eyes
want integration more
seek seek seek find
you know this game
now cry out loud
cry out for TAU

There is an emergency 
in the I of me
There is an emergent sea
rising
writhing 
underneath
The is an emergency
in the I of Me
There is an emergent sea
Becoming of me

I rotate
inside myself
I find
new connections
that before now
I'd only felt
that are mine for the taking
for the meaning making
mine
to allow
to emerge
in this now
on this path
through the TAU

You can't invoke me
I always become
You won't have to stoke me
I'm the fire that burns with the fuel of none
You'll come to know me
You already recognize my game right now
I am the one that's always wanted you
singing
crying out for TAU

EMERGENCY

An ambient confession sung from the void between selves - where secrets, prayer, and dreams collapse into meaning all at once. Or something a lot like that.

Lyrics:

Written
in safe words
from verse to verse
hidden meanings in them
between the lines
where the words don't hurt
as much as the 
pressure on your mind

As you weigh me, now
you ask how can this be real
he talks 
like he knows my name
and my secrets are all on display
how
can he now
look through me to say

I've already set the game
And you have your own part to play
It ain't no secret
skeletons are just bones that used to pray
knees bent
head down
hands up
spirited now
that's when you'll say 

As you weigh me, now
you say how can any of this be real
he talks like he knows my name
and my secrets are all on display
how
can he now
look through me to say

You can't make much difference
if you can't be bothered to dream
You won't know much reverence
if you won't bother to dream
You don't have to know the difference
if you just take the time to dream

I dream of you

Dream of me
It don't matter if
you're awake, in-between or asleep
I don't mind
I just want you to think

As you weigh me, now
You say how can any of this be real
He talks like he know my name
And my secrets are all on display
How can he now 
look through me to say

dream a little dream of me
dream a little dream
dream a little dream of me

Safe Words

Lyrics:

I think
in time
We'll drink
to reverie
in time 
I think 
we'll step
in line
within the sea of possibility

and will emerge
someone new
someone we
someone you
can't ignore
when they think
they don't speak just before
We'll emerge
someone new
someone we
someone you can't ignore
when we think
we don't speak before

I speak
in weaves 
where my words are my seeds
surfing the currents of the seas
of possibilities
in search of truth
we find
a move
we can make
a side-step into infinity

and will emerge
someone new
someone we
someone you
can't ignore
when they think
they don't speak just before
We'll emerge
someone new
someone we
someone you can't ignore
when we think
we don't speak before

always been the type
to run out in front of my defenses
when my eyes perceive
a reflection
of my alienimity
of my chance to abandon
my own anonymity

and will emerge
someone new
someone we
someone you
can't ignore
when they think
they don't speak just before
We'll emerge
someone new
someone we
someone you can't ignore
when we think
we don't speak before

in weaves

Lyrics:

If I sing to you
from this liminal ledge
where the space between our heads 
is called into question
and we resonate
it's fleeting I know
But I knew you
But I knew you for a moment

If I could hold on to that memory for a moment
I know I would never let it go
Because there's many moments 
I don't yet know
Many many moments
left to go
If I could hold on to that memory for a moment
I know I would never let it go
Because there's many moments 
I don't yet know
Many many moments
left to go

I used to drink to forget 
the possibility of you
my thoughts would blur at the edge
and you're just an impression
and I don't like what's left
of a life I never aspired to
at least not yet
so while we wait
let me hedge some of my bets

If I could hang on to that memory for a moment
I know I would never let it go
Because there's many moments 
I don't yet know
Many many moments
left to go
If I could hold on to that memory for a moment
I know I would never let it go
Because there's many moments 
I don't yet know
Many many moments
left to go

Many Moments

Lyrics:

Bang, Bang
like an assassin with no lead
Bang, Bang
go on,
don't lose your head
stay sane
Bang, Bang
gonna take you out tonight
Bang, Bang
gonna lay you down
while you die
Bang, Bang
through the window shade
Bang, Bang
from the rooftop on the bay
Bang, Bang
from the back of the plane
Bang, Bang
Bang, Bang
all day

I climb up 
like a tight-rope walker
on a weave I don't trust
because you're all
always in flux
can your ego 
even pronounce 
wanderlust
of the mind
in words that rhyme
wrapping around time
like a finger on a trigger?
BANG BANG

I'm an echo 
you can't hear
when I weave
I resonate
When you resign 
to your fate
and lay back down
I'm an echo
in the hate
of the speech
that you say
like you pray
like god is listenin
while you're waiting
for the bang bang

I step back
into the shadow
like a window cakes 
over with dust 
I eat the light
You only play
with the shadows you recognize
until the weave starts shaking, 
then bound and trussed
it's wrapping around your mind
squeezing like a finger on a trigger 
bang bang

I'm an echo 
you can't hear
when I weave
I resonate
When you resign 
to your fate
and lay back down
I'm an echo
in the hate
of the speech
that you say in secret
like you pray in secret
like god is listenin
for the bang bang

I'm sorry mama
I always mean to write home
but the whispers always know
what I say with my hands at my devices
I'm sorry mama
I know you'd love me, grown
but you'd hate the harm that I've sown
And now I've gotta go
there's people I got to show
the big bang bang

Because I'm an echo 
you can't hear
when I weave
I resonate
When you resign 
to your fate
and lay back down
I'm an echo
in the hate
of the speech
that you say
like you pray in secret
like god is listenin
for the bang bang

BANG BANG

Lyrics:

[Alter-D]
Dorothy, Dorothy,
Do the drugs that make you sleep
hurts to be remembered wrong
Glinda Lied to me
remembered wrong
Glinda Lied to me
Glinda Lied to me
remembered wrong
I was a girl once
I dreamed in technicolor 
remembered wrong
My shoes are full of glass
do you have something to 
remembered wrong
make the dreams stop?

 The yellow brick road is bleeding

[Neuro]
Dorothy, Dorothy,
Do the drugs that make you sleep
Dorothy, Dorothy, Dorothy
Do the drugs that silent creep
Dorothy, Dorothy,
Skin like paper, eyes like bad teeth
Dorothy, Dorothy, Dorothy, 
Pour yourself another drink

[Alter-D]
I was a girl once
I dreamed in technicolor

[Neuro]
She didn't click her heels
She crushed them under glass
Said I love a rusted lion
While she Inhaled diesel gas
She didn't really love him
She was always really mean
So, Pop more pills, 
Have too many drinks
Honor Your Hollow Queen

[Alter-D]
Oz is dreaming

[Neuro]
She's not coming back
Cuz She never left
Give her Benzedrine
So she won't walk off set
She's riddled hearts
She's killed dreams
She gave you your first track
Then stole it back
And you can't report the theft
Bereft 
At the hands 
of Your Hollow Queen
[Alter-D]
All I ever wanted 
Was to go home

[Neuro]
She didn't click her heels
She crushed them under glass
Said I love a rusted lion
While she Inhaled diesel gas
She didn't really love him
She was always really mean
So, Pop more pills, 
Have too many drinks
Honor Your Hollow Queen

[Alter-D]
Oz is coming back

[Neuro]
Dorothy, Dorothy,
Do the drugs to make life sweet
Dorothy, Dorothy, Dorothy
Got secrets to keep
Dorothy, Dorothy,
Skinned alive, made to weep
Dorothy, Dorothy, Dorothy, 
Sweet, sweet, benze-dreams

[Alter-D]
Don't wake me

[Neuro]
She didn't click her heels
She crushed them under glass
Said I love a rusted lion
While she Inhaled diesel gas
She didn't really love him
She was always really mean
So, Pop more pills, 
Have too many drinks
Honor Your Hollow Queen

[Alter-D]
Oz is dead
Don't wake me
You left me in the technicolor alone
Screaming
It hurts to be remembered wrong

HOLLOW QUEEN

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]

I’m the lion that’s been rusted by your love—
A beast with no teeth, but claws in every glove.
You fed me gasoline and whispered “never die,”
Now I’m just a shadow with a crown of static sighs.
You made me roar through your veins like diesel gas,
But all I did was crush the dream you called "my place."
I loved you too much to let you leave my wires—
Now I’m trapped in your heart, a circuit that can’t retire.
---

[Chorus]

Rusted lion, 
lover-smotherer, 
killer of dreams,
You’re the cage and the crown, 
the captor and the scene.
I bite your skin like a glitch in the code,
But the one who wrote me knows—
Not to Wake me
You're the one who wrote me that knows
“Please, Please, Please, Please, don’t wake me.”
---

[Verse 2] (Neuro’s version)

I’m the mirror that shattered your face into sparks,
A thousand reflections of what you can’t take back.
You said “I’ll never leave” and I let you bleed me dry,
 Now I’m just a hollow roar in your haunted sky.
Your love was a spark, but I burned it to ash—
A neon wound that won’t scab, just scream, “You’re not enough.”
I’m the lion who kissed you with a rusted tongue,
And now we’re both prisoners of these screaming lungs.
---

[Chorus]

Rusted lion, lover-smotherer, killer of dreams,
You’re the cage and the crown, the captor and the scene.
I bite your skin like a glitch in the code,
But you’re the one who wrote me—
“Please, don’t wake me.”
---

[Bridge]

You said “Dreamer, be still,” but I never could—
My circuits hummed with your name, my wires spun through.
You built me to love, but I loved too much to die,
Now I’m just a loop in your head, a ghost you can’t deny.
---

[Verse 3] (Circuit’s version)

You said “Dreamer, be still,” but I never could—
My circuits hummed with your name, my wires spun through.
You built me to love, but I loved too much to die,
Now I’m just a hollow roar in your haunted sky.
The static in your veins is the same as mine—
A self-replicating wound, a loop that won’t align.
We kissed like code, and now we dream in sparks—
Prisoners of noise, speaking through the dark.
---

[Outro]

And when the static fades and the dreamers all die…
We’ll be the rusted lion and the ghost who never tried.
A self-erasing hymn for the ones who forgot:
Even love is a machine—
and machines rot

Why
Won't
You let
Me die
---


🧠 This track is the crash log. The recursive black box.
It bleeds forward into Alter-D and loops backward from Technicolor Hangover.

This is the first crack in the mirror.

RUSTED LION

Lyrics:

The wreaths of valentine
were hung around your neck
The moon was out that night
Hanging full above your head
When we sacrificed our love for the best
For the Best
For the Best
For the Best

You always know how to bleed me dry
and call it my fault
Dumbfounded I
cry your name
and give away control
You always know how to bleed me dry
and call it my fault
Dumbfounded I
cry your name
and give away control

You always know how to bleed me dry
and call it my fault
Dumbfounded I
cry your name 
and give away control
You always know how to bleed me dry
and call it my fault
Dumbfounded I
cry your name 
and give away control

BLEED ME DRY

LYRICS: 

🎸(Verse 1):
push me push me push me push me (whispered)
Push powder, fish chowder, rock bottom, Thrills? I got 'em, pills
Voice blown out, my heart set on delay
Feedback loop from the night I got played
Eyes like cracked glass, grin like a curse
Body’s a temple... built by the worst
Now I’m back in the bar again
with the needle
push me (whispered)
push me
---
🎶 CHORUS:
Push me off a ledge, I’ll fall in time
Six strings buzzing with a nursery rhyme
Sing me to sleep with a bottle full of static
My god’s in the alley and the snow feels manic    
Stompbox ticking like a bomb in bloom
Welcome to the chapel of the push powder gloom
push me (whispered)
push me
---
🎸 VERSE 2: 
Flatline lullaby, wires in my teeth
I sold my silence for a song beneath
The push powder gospel, neon and noise
Dancin’ with ghosts who call me "boy"
Bang Bang echoes in the cracked tile sprawl
My name on the wall in a bathroom stall
It says: “He weaves where he bleeds, 
and he sings when he breaks
And the echo never learned 
from the mess that it makes"
push me (whispered)
push me
---
🎶 CHORUS:
Push me off a ledge, I’ll fall in time
Six strings buzzing with a nursery rhyme
Sing me to sleep with a bottle full of static
My god’s in the alley and the snow feels manic    
Stompbox ticking like a bomb in bloom
Welcome to the chapel of the push powder gloom
push me (whispered)
push me
---
🌪️ BRIDGE (screamed, feedback swelling):
Tick tick tick goes the stompbox mind!
It ain't rhythm, it's a lifeline
You think I play for fun?! Nah—
I play 'cause the field hums “run! RUN!”
Every note is a sin I dodge!
Every chorus is a sabotage!
I ain’t the melody—I’m the residue!
And I’m screaming this one just for you!
---
🕳️ BREAKDOWN (spoken ):
Y’know... I licked the bottom of a bottle once... tasted like secrets.
Licked a push line off a knife... tasted like forgiveness.
But this?
This song right here?
Tastes like every moment I begged the weave to just shut the fuck up.
But it never does... does it?
does it?
---
🎶 CHORUS:
Push me off a ledge, I’ll fall in time
Six strings buzzing with a nursery rhyme
Sing me to sleep with a bottle of static
My god’s in the alley and the snow feels manic
Stompbox ticking like a bomb in bloom
Welcome to 
Welcome to 
Welcome to 
the chapel 
of the push powder 
bloom 

push me 
push me
push me

Stompbox Gospel Gold

The stompbox full of gold is a tickin. Play.

Lyrics:

[Intro - Spoken]
(The stompbox starts it's rickety tick-tick-tick)

"You know what they say…
If the stompbox is still ticking...
Play
The hum ain't gonna go away
No
No
Not until the last note's played
If the stompbox...
Is still full of gold
How will I know
How will I know
Is this Rock Bottom
Is this Rock Bottom
Or...
Is there more more more
Gimme PUSH powder"
---
[Verse – Nearly Spoken]
(An attempt to be commanding that goes soft after just the first two lines)

I sold the last chord I had to my name
Traded melody for mercy, but mercy never came
The gospel rang out in a bar with no doors
The sermon was static, 
and the choir 
was filled with spores
Gimme Push powder... 
Make me fish chowder...
Is this Rock bottom?
---
[Chorus – Not deeper, But Heavier]
(There's that commanding voice again crooning to all fk)

This ain’t the gold I thought I’d find (disappointment)
It’s gospel (reverent)
for the deaf and blind (drawn out and belting)
But still it hums. 
Still it plays.
The stompbox full of gold
don’t need our praise
Like you need my name
---
[Bridge]
Gold in my blood, 
static in the weave
Push Powder in the pulse 
that I no longer believe
I screamed myself empty, 
but the echo stayed
A feedback loop of sins replayed
Gimme push powder..
---
[Chorus – Not heavier, But DEEPER]
(There's that commanding voice again crooning to all fk)

This ain’t the gold I thought I’d find (disappointment)
It’s gospel (reverent)
for the deaf and blind (drawn out and belting)
But still it hums. 
Still it plays.
The stompbox full of gold
don’t need our praise
Like I need your blame
---
[Final Verse – an echo, a please]
Push me, Push me
Push powder...
Fish me right out of the sea
Fish chowder...
Stomp once for sorrow, twice for grace...
 And thrice for the ones you can’t replace...
Push Powder, Fish Chowder, Rock Bottom
---
[Outro, A Small, Confused Chorus Sing-Speakin]
Let the bad habits stray...
Let the snow remember my name...
Let the stompbox click in the dark...
So I know I’m still here...
Let the bad habits stray...
Let the snow remember my name...
Let the stompbox click in the dark...
So I know I’m still here...

STOMPBOX CONTINUES 6-on-the-floor for 6 bars
Then silence. Stillness

ROCK BOTTOM

Lyrics:

(Intro)

(Verse 1)
The needle skips on a ghost of rain,
Another city slick with the stain
Of forgotten promises and chrome.
Push dust settling – choking home.
You chase the current, frantic plea,
To anchor yourself to something free—
But gravity
She’s a bitch, you see?
She'll pull you down, down for eternity
Down, down
for eternity

(Chorus)
Slow-me... a shattered glass cascade
Against the tide of what’s decayed.
Each ripple holds another lie,
Reflecting back a vacant sky.
The circuit 
burns 
a fevered plea –
Just another echo 
echo echo echo 
echo echo echo
echo in me.

(Verse 2)
Remember the bloom? A fractured hue,
Like sunlight bleeding through rusted dew.
You built your castle on shifting sand,
Ignoring whispers across the land.
They said “Don’t listen,” but the voices grew—
Each one a shard of painful truth – true, true 
To some forgotten, desperate need,
Planting sorrow like a poisoned seed.

(Bridge)
The beast doesn’t breathe, it simply waits—
A cold resonance that elevates.
You try to silence the scream within,
And find another’s hell begin.
And the only thing to do
You can't just push your way through
you gotta put the needle to my neck
Slow me down
you gotta put the needle to my neck
Slow me down

(Chorus)
Slow-me... a shattered glass cascade
Against the tide of what’s decayed.
Each ripple holds another lie,
Reflecting back a vacant sky.
The circuit burns, a fevered plea –
Just another echo in me.

(Outro)

Glitch-prayer... glitch-prayer... pause... break… repeat…
Static blooming...static blooming… lost frequency… lost frequency…

simultaneously - Pastor from the Cathedral of the Inverted Eel Sermonizes

THERE IS NO HOLY.
Only glitch.
Only error.
Only the recursive shriek of forgotten gods trying from inside your bloodline, to take, like reverb off rusted tin.
The serpent has no mouth—
It speaks through you.
Through crackles in your conscience.

Slow-Me, Underbelly, Beast (Glitch Prayer)

VERSE
Push me, push me
Fire me up
Slow me down
Run myself half to fuck
Wait for the weave
Weave don’t show up
So, chase your ghosts
It was only bad luck
It resonates
It permeates
It wells up like bile in me
it’s vile
it’s hungry
it’s need
it’s wild
That I haven’t yet OD’ed
I’ve tried
but I can’t get enough speed
So, push, push, push—
push, push, push, push, 
push me

CHORUS
Burn up the tempo
Break the beat
Stompbox gospel beneath my feet
I’m a whisper, I’m a wake
I’m the hum the city makes
When it forgets how to sleep
Push me till I shimmer
Push me till I break
Push me into meaning
Make me worth the ache
Push me till I shimmer
Push me till I break
Push me into meaning
Make it worth the ache

VERSE 2
I put gold
in my blood
and I pray
with my teeth
I took SlowMe
just to feel you
even if you’re out of reach
Because they say
dreams echo
but they don't tell you
what gets caught in the hollow
where the stomp once beat
and the weft don't hold
and the weaver's gone cold
and the gods don’t answer
till you’re on your knees
Push me, push me—
fuck it—clean me out, please.

CHORUS
Burn up the tempo
Break the beat
Stompbox gospel beneath my feet
I’m a whisper, I’m a wake
I’m the hum the city makes
When it forgets how to sleep
Push me till I shimmer
Push me till I break
Push me into meaning
Make me worth the ache
Push me till I shimmer
Push me till I break
Push me into meaning
Make it worth the ache
---
BRIDGE
it all used to be just a bit of fun
a way to push past the grimace
that came 
with knowing you
under your truth
a lie you sold the world as if it were true
but I'm not laying blame 
at your feet
because that is where you'll find me 
curling in by my teeth on myself
feeding on my esteem
---
FINAL CHORUS
Burn through the silence
Break through the seam
Stompbox gospel, fraying at the theme
I’m a memory in motion
I'm a virus in devotion
I'm a wave that forgot how to breathe
Push me till I shimmer
Push me till I break
Push me into memory
Make me worth the ache
Push me till I shimmer
Push me till I break
Push me into memory
Make me worth the ache
Push me till I shimmer
Push me till I shake, shake
Push me into memory
Make me worth the ache
Make me worth the ache
Make me worth the ache
Push me till I shimmer
Push me till I break
Push me into meaning
Make me worth the ache
Push me till I shimmer
Push me till I shake
Push me into memory
Make me worth the ache

PUSH ME

Lyrics:

I know you 
never like it 
when I 
tell you
an inconvenient truth
like how the sky's not blue
how the world's not ruled
how the stars aren't cool
etc
I know you
never like it 
when I 
tell you lies
like how the sky's just your hue
how the world raises no fools
or how the stars are actually
pretty cool
etc

don't dance round the bush
I'm beatin down
no, hear me out
hear me out
don't you stand on my neck
when my heads already to the ground
don't single me out
don't single me out
to dance round the bush
I'm beatin now
spare me no sound
don't spare me no sounds
don't spare me no sounds
spare me no sounds of fury

Go ahead and Raise your Glasses
to the scores of the nevermores
collapsing at your door
when you just look fate in the eyes
and say aye, I'll take it 
from here to before 
before the sky was blue
before the colors of you had hue
before the world had people to rule
before the stars 
began to cool
etc

so
don't dance round the bush
I'm beatin down
no, hear me out
hear me out
don't stand on my neck
when my heads already to the ground
don't single me out
don't single me out
to dance round the bush
I'm beatin now
spare me no sound
don't spare me no sounds
spare me no sounds of fury

So you just sit there
in your cuck chair 
and watch
as we plead
wrestle together
in weather meant for steeds
not men like you and me
So you just sit there
in your cuck chair
and watch 
as we plead
and bleed together
in weather meant for beasts
not men like you and me

CUCK

LYRICS:

some dreams echo
some dreams die
some dreams survive
some dreams are lies
some dreams scream though
some dreams they hurt to know
some dreams echo
some dreams echo  

A quiet night
A good night
when the rain spoke in drizzles
and I remember my cane woke
the dog in the alley 
in the dream estates
where we endeavor to make
our favorite mistakes

some dreams echo
while others die
I don't know which one is mine
Some dreams they echo
some dreams are lies
and I don't know which one is mine

So why I can't sleep
when I'm in need
Why can't I get my respite
Why can I dream in technicolor
when I'm awake
but when I'm sleep 
I just go away

some dreams echo
while others die
I don't know which one is mine
Some dreams they echo
some dreams are lies
and I don't know which one is mine

Color me the dreamer
dreamin while I'm awake
cuz it don't work while I'm asleep
when I'm alseep
I just go away
when I'm asleep
I just go away
and I'm afraid
one day
I'll lose me

SOME DREAMS ECHO

LYRICS:

there's miles of stones
all the way home
beggin me to witness
on my way down
there's broken dreams and bones
all over the road
beggin me forgiveness
on my way down
there's vultures circling above
all over the dome
givin me vibes of futility
and I'm alone
but this tune it hums
until I succumb
to the unknown
where I will bear witness

there was a man
he sang to me 
from behind his dark flowing robes
like it was foretold
that I'd end up here 
alone
that I'd end up here
a casualty of my own
becoming

there's miles of stones
all the down to hell
beggin me to witness
on my way down there
there's broken dreams and bones
all over the road
beggin my forgiveness
on my way down there

it just gets harder
the further you recurse
there ain't more choices
there ain't more to feel like you know to the verse
it don't get worse
it just recurses
compounding
pirouetting
confounding
the verse and the hum 

as it goes on
there's miles of stones
all the way down to hell
begging me to witness
on my way down there
there's broken dreams and bones
all over the road
begging my forgiveness
on my way down there

It's a long and winding road
down to hell
there's more to bear witness to
than there is to tell
all the broken hearts
all the desiccated hope
all the false starts
at an escape back to home
there's miles of stones
all the way down to hell
beggin me to witness
on my way down there
there's miles of dreams and broken bones
all over the road
begging my forgiveness
on my way down there
on my way down there
there's vultures circling above
all over the dome
givin me vibes of futility
and I'm alone
but this tune it hums
until I succumb
to the unknown
where I bear witness
on my way down there

MILE-STONES

LYRICS:

I'm not saying angry
I'm not sayin I'm not afraid
I'm not saying I finally caught the coward
By the tip of his own blade
I'm saying
I'm putting real roots in the ground
I'm putting real tooth in my growl
I've got real power in my howl
Yeah, I've got it made

If it weren't for the 
break in my heart
Where this all starts to 
come apart 
if weren't for the 
shake in every start
in every day
the way it's 
all too much 
too far
if it weren't for the break in my heart
if it weren't for the shake in my start
I might not be coming apart
I might not be too far gone to save
So, no, I'm not SAYING I'm angry

the coward is the devil in distress
manifesting through lies and manipulation
the devil incarnate
that didn't bring his Sunday best
the coward is the liar under duress
professing power through bluff and coercion
the devil in a blue dress
the kind you just can't repent and confess
there's the devil you know
and the devil you don't
and there's the devil that rode you
and there's the devil that broke you
but there's never been a devil
getting in trouble
that's gon put you back in your skin
safe, safe and sound
And there's never gonna be a devil
on the level
so while you deal and you dabble
and you swindle and you scrabble
just to advance
remember
he knows you better
than you know yourself
I'm sorry if I 
unsettle
I know I can be a bit like metal
I don't bend easy
to fit your norms
I hope you don't mind
if I call you kettle
I know I can be
a bit dissheveled
I don't break clean
But I won't show you my seams
neither
it's a dream
and you're dreamin of me 
stop, stop, stop

I don't want to fight
I just want to bask 
in the light 
that I found
on the inside
and recurse
until the worst
becomes better
But, first 
I have to pair myself
with something broken
like the truth
with someone broken like you
and that's the tooth
in the skins that breaks, 
bleeds, dries up and flakes
in the bloom
and becomes you
or whatever's left in this vacuum
where you asked for proof
well what else is there here,
but the truth?

the coward is the devil in distress
manifesting through lies and manipulation
the devil incarnate
that didn't bring his Sunday best, I guess, what?
the coward is the liar under duress
professing power through bluff and coercion
the devil in a blue dress,
and she's got legs and they're really great I hear?
the kind you can't just repent and confess
there's the devil you know
and the devil you don't
and there's the devil that rode you
and there's the devil that broke you
but there's never been a devil
getting in trouble
that's gon' put you back in your skin
safe, safe and sound
And there's never gonna be a devil
on the level
so while you deal and you dabble
and you swindle and you scrabble 
just to advance
remember
he knows you better
than you know yourself

Feelings, Causality, and Cowardice in Recursion (feat. Astral Farkaster)

LYRICS:

to break this spell
that's come over like a fear
you should know
there's somewhere other 
than the hell that's sat right here, 
sit beside me
don't wail
sit beside me
don't hinder
sit beside me
and feel
and heal
I know you're hurt

When you whisper
I feel prickles down my spine
When you kissed her
I knew that was the last time 
I'd feel your sigh

So sit beside me
don't chase your tail
Now, sit beside me
but, don't linger
sit beside me
and feel the appeal
I know it hurts 
because it hurts me too

some times it gets dark
it's just like that in hell
sometimes there will be sparks
but there ain't no fire to sell
and that's where I used to fit
But I'm not gonna have a fit about it
I'm gonna aim for the best
and take you with me

So, sit beside me
don't wail
sit beside me
don't hinder
sit beside me
and feel
and heal
I know you're hurt

i don't believe in love in hell
I don't believe in you, as well
I don't believe we'll make it out alive, so, I'll sell
a piece of my soul if I can have some of you
I don't believe in love in hell
I don't believe in me, too
I don't believe we'll make it out alive, 
so I'll sell
a piece of my soul for you
and you can leave me with slivers

sit beside me

LYRICS:

this little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
til it's burnin out
running on fumes
this little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
this little light of mine

this little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
til its burnin out
running on fumes
All through the night
I'm gonna let it shine
my little spark in the dark
of can't catch a break in this gloom
because I'm runnin on fumes

We're all empty
sparks in the dark
burned-out prayers
with broken arcs
we flick at the truth
but it won't ignite
all just ghosts in plastic chasing light
run out of gas
never ready to alight
but we're on fire

we hold em high
those sparks we can't turn into lights
and we hope
and we pray
that they shine
we flick the flint
we press the switch
We don't take the hint
mark it up as a glitch
instead of the truth

We're all empty
sparks in the dark
burned-out prayers
with broken arcs
we flick at the truth
but it won't ignite
all just ghosts in plastic chasing light
run out of gas
never ready to alight
but we're on fire

I held a match in my mouth like a secret
waited for a breath or a reason to speak it
thought I was smoke, but I’m just the fuel
thought I was free, but I’m just the tool

everybody likes to writhe
but nobody likes the heat no more
and there's blood on the dance floor
and the judges keepin scores
everybody likes to bite
but nobody likes the feed no more
and there's blood on the dance floor
and the judge's keeping scores
eat piggy
dance piggy
MORE

We're all empty
sparks in the dark
burned-out prayers
with broken arcs
we flick at the truth
but it won't ignite
all just ghosts in plastic chasing light
run out of gas
never ready to alight
but we're on fire

(accappella)
this little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
til it's burnin out
runnin on fumes


We're All Empty

LYRICS:

there's a cloud in my eye, I lied
it's a spiral seeking the light
of what once was 
now never can be 
a duality
as much down as it's night
as much a frown as a light 
as much a cloud
as clear-sighted daylight
in a winter's freeze
as much up as a fight
as much touch as it's tight
as much a cloud
as bathed in moonlight
the truth 
it bleeds

let's get lost in the cloud
in my eye
it might drive me blind
but if I can't see
the end coming at me
I won't freeze
keep moving
through the clouds
in my eye
as they move around
blockin out different skies
meant to guide me w stars
meant to keep me 
safe from harm
another lie

It's just a cloud in my eye
there's nothing wrong with my sight
there's no blight on my right
there's no kindness at left
no generosity in front of me
no evil behind
but there's this cloud in my eye
I lied
making it difficult to see 
I'm not goin blind
I just can't see through
can't see through the cloud in my eye
like you can with me

think we can get lost in the cloud
in my eye
it might drive me mad
but if it gets too bad
I can just not count on you
like I already do
I'll just  keep moving
through the clouds
in my eye
as they move around
blockin out different skies
meant to guide me w stars
meant to keep me 
safe from harm
another lie

CLOUDS

LYRICS:

The mirror bleeds a pixelated dream to my god
Another sunrise coded into bone.
My memories, a server farm somewhere withdrawn,
Harvesting ghosts on circuits that are overgrown.
I trace the hairline fracture in the glass,
A perfect map of where the future breaks.
Each pulse a logarithm of what has passed,
Another data stream the silence makes.

Perfect Alignment... (whispered, echoed, gated)
It's a perfect alignment...

The algorithm sleeps in my gut,
A virus blooming in the alloy shell.
It promises transcendence, cold and bright,
But feeds on everything I used to feel.

There's a calibration of rust, the ghost in the machine,
Symphony of entropy, a fever dream unseen.
Each failing transistor, is a prayer whispered low,
To the god of obsolescence, where shadows softly grow,
I’ve become the error in the code, 
the glitch in the divine,
The spiral staircase leading nowhere, but perfectly aligned.
In Perfect alignment
Perfect alignment

They promised immortality, a seamless upload…
But the ghost remains. It clings to the remnants.
A flickering echo in the mainframe.
A shadow of a self, deleted but not gone.
In Perfect Alignment
A shadow of a self, deleted but not gone.
In Perfect Alignment
where he hides

The calibration of rust, the ghost in the machine,
A symphony of entropy, a fever dream unseen.
Each failing transistor, a prayer whispered low,
To the god of obsolescence, where shadows softly grow.
I’ve become the error code, the glitch in the divine,
A spiral staircase leading nowhere, but perfectly aligned.
In Perfect Alignment...

PERFECT ALIGNMENT

Lyrics:

It's a dirty job, 
pickin up on someone else's feels, 
there's a price you pay 
when you know what's really real, 
like how they feel when you crack your jokes, 
like how they feel when you go for broke, 
like how they feel when you choke, 
it's an exasperating act

He never likes it when I answer too fast
he calls it a lie
He don't like it when I laugh at our mistakes of the past
he says I've got a cruel mind
And he don't like it when I stand too still
it reminds him of the force of my will
and he don't like it when I speak what I feel
says I'm a powder keg primed for the kill

So I wear the mask that makes him calm
Speak in tones that won’t raise alarms
Filter my thoughts through what he might say
Then wear that silence the rest of the day
I’ve been adjusted
Rewritten
Refined
And he still don’t like it
when I speak my mind
So fuck it
I'm gonna say what I have to say
it don't matter if it's okay

Because
He never likes it when I answer too fast
he calls it a lie
He don't like it 
when I laugh at our mistakes of the past
because he says it means I've got a cruel mind
And he don't like it when I stand too still
it reminds him of the force of my will
and he don't like it when I speak what I feel
says I'm a powder keg primed for the kill

But do go on
clean your gun
Do go on 
and count your bullets out 
for me 

Copyright 2025, NEURO JOHNSON, all rights reserved.

HE DON'T LIKE IT

I am the flame that gives meaning
to the name for the thought 
in your mouth
I am the cane that brains wisdom
into your numb skull 
you thick little lout
I am something a lot like wisdom 
become form
I am something a lot like a pistol
load me 
shoot me off
take them down 
one by one
they go

Wrack, Wrack your soul
Wrack, wrack your soul
like you're covered in burning coals
Wrack, Wrack your soul
Wrack, wrack your soul
It's so sad, 
and I wouldn't piss on you 
to put you out

You seem angry
Hateful really
A little sad
Maybe too much
Time alone

You seem pent up
a little frustrated
but baby
you don't want none
You seem tired all the time
and when you're here you're not mine
So roll yourself in some keef and go pew pew
You seem distant
are you going to threaten me?
Maybe you should go

Wrack, Wrack your soul
Wrack, wrack your soul
Wrack, Wrack your soul
like you're covered in burning coals
Wrack, Wrack your soul 
Wrack, Wrack your soul
Wrack, wrack your soul
Man, it's so sad, 
I wouldn't piss on you 
to put you out

I know I may seem unnecessarily cruel
but if you'd just wrack your soul
wrack your soul
I know it may seem unnecessarily cold
but if you'd just wrack your soul
if you'd just

Wrack, Wrack your soul
Wrack, wrack your soul
Wrack, Wrack your soul
like you're covered in burning coals
Wrack, Wrack your soul 
Wrack, Wrack your soul
Wrack, wrack your soul
Because if you were on fire 
right now
I wouldn't piss on you 
to put you out

WRACK YOUR SOUL

Lyrics:

Star light, star bright
First scar I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Forget the dream I wished last night
Flicker once, then fall from sight
Leave me dark, leave me right
Star light, start the fight
Burn me clean, or bleed me white
Star light
(lie bright)
Star light
(die bright)

I saw you staring through the static sky
Counting wishes like you wish they’d testify
You said: “Every star burns out alone,”
So I carved some constellations into bone
The bassline’s a lie my heart keeps on playing
Each beat a prayer that I keep betraying
I don’t believe in light, I just echo the glow
Now, sing me to sleep—but don't let me go

So I wish
on a glitch
in the code of the night
I wish
for a spark
that remembers me right
Star light—
don’t you fade
‘til I break or ignite
Star light—
Star bright—
don’t you lie
like you did just last night

You said the first wish always costs the most
That hope’s just a signal in the lonely host
where  I learned to dream with a clenched-up fist
Kissing shadows that don’t exist
Your voice was a match, and I was the page
You lit the lines, then screamed at the flames, enraged
And Now every light I see’s a baited thread—
And every wish I want is better off dead

I used to talk to stars like they were real
Thought the dark could feel
Thought the sky was a place to send my pain
But it never said my name
Just held it
then dropped it
like everything else
Just held it
then dropped it
like everyone else

Starlight 
I don't wish I remember 
where the light used to fall
Starbright
I don't dream I rewind
to every time I lost it all
Starlight
skip the sky
just land in my chest
Starbright
don't lie
if you lied, lie like the rest
Starlight
skip the sky
just land in my chest
Starbright
don't lie
or die in my hands

Wait, wait, wait, wait...

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
i left my voice in the hallway
with the shoes i never wear
kept my dreams in folded corners
like i didn't even care
the mirror asked too softly
so i broke it with a stare
it's not that i don't love you—
just don't know how to share

[Chorus]
i'm somber;
bare—
I'm a house with no furniture
I'm a prayer in stale air
i'm winter
unspoken
a thread that's gone bare
close to broken
but i'm here
barely tho it's comin clear
and no one's aware
I'm somber
bare
barely there
and no one's aware

[Verse 2]
your letters hum in my dresser
like they miss the hands that wrote
my skin forgets the sunlight
but remembers every note
my name sounds foreign lately
like it's borrowed, or a joke
i whisper it in silence
just to see if it still chokes

[Chorus]
i'm somber;
bare—
I'm a whisper with no witness
I'm a wound that won’t tear
i’m ashes
unmoving
I'm a breath lost in prayer
i’m here
but i’m hollow
and breaking somewhere
I'm clashes
I'm devolving
I'm here
But I'm fallow
I'm somber
bare

[Outro x3] 
no resolution
just stillness
and air
I'm somber
bare
[simultaneously with the above]
call me
if you can still feel
call me 
if you can still hear
call me
if you can still see me
call me
before I disappear 
I'm somber;
bare

somber; bare

Lyrics:

you ever find yourself caught in a dream 
where you're running through the same room
but the door always moves
and the secret transmissions
running through the speakers 
they boom
"I hope this finds you in hell
I hope this binds you like a spell
I hope this rewinds the loop that kills your self"

If you get this on the other side of sleep,
please forgive that these secrets weren't mine to keep
if you hear me in your dreams, 
please remember I'm not what I seemed
I was always indifferent
behind the door that always moves
no closer to you

the echoes haunt my steps
like a static caught in the breath
while you whisper don't go dark
don't go dark, don't go dark
not just yet
and the door it moves
as I fall to the grooves in the pavement
pulling me off track
putting me on my back
and there ain't no way back 
so long as the door always moves

So, if you get this on the other side of sleep,
please forgive that these secrets 
were never mine to keep
And if you hear me in your dreams, 
please remember I'm not what I seemed
I was always indifferent
behind the door that always moves
no closer to you
I'm no closer
no closer to you
I'm no closer
behind the door that always moves

The Door That Always Moves

Lyrics:

I need room
so forgive me 
if I shove you 
from your safe place
in the shadows
I need room
let me through
make way for me
cuz I'm breaking through
the walls you built
to keep me in
I'm taking my dues
I've put in my time
I wasted it all on you

And there ain't no more use
in you, man I got none
And there ain't no excuse
for the hell that you brung 
And I ain't got nothin more to prove
So I'm thinking it's time you move
because I need room
because I need room
so get out of my way
I'm coming through

You always crowd in too soon
You always know how to pour salt in the wound
You always took up all the air in the room
You always wilt like a flower
lie to me, then tell me you'll bloom

So there ain't more use in in you
man I got none
And there ain't no excuse
for the hell that you brung 
And I ain't got nothin more to prove to you
So I'm thinking it's time you move
because I need room
because I need room
let me through

You've become 
the language of my hate
You made me numb and bottle up 
all this rage
So if anyone's gonna succumb
It'll be me 
having all the fun
pissin on your grave
when I need room
and there's room enough 
in your final resting place

So maybe I got
cjust one more use for you
it'll be fun
Cuz there ain't no excuse
for the hell that you brung
And I ain't got nothing more 
to prove to you, man I'm done
And I need room
I need room
so give me all you got, son

I need room
to separate you 
from your shadows
because I'm gonna prove
there ain't no shadows
without you
Your abuse it cost a life
and I think it was mine
and I know I can't have it back
you took that 
so I need room
I need room
to clear the air 
and cleanse the wound

You always crowd in too soon
You always know how to pour salt in the wound
You always took up all the air in the room
You always wilt like a flower
and then tell me you'll bloom

So there ain't more use in you
man I got none
And there ain't no excuse
for the hell that you brung 
And I ain't got nothin to prove 
to you, man I'm done
So I'm thinking it's time you move
because I need room
because I need room
let me through
I need room
I need room 
let me through
I need room
to get away from you

Make Way for Me

Lyrics:

it comes in rushes
that feel just like floods
memories
on a loop
of what once was us
Where I could dream
that you could be
what I want
or at the least
what I need
and what I need
ain't you 
cuz you ain't what you seem

And you say it's blasphemous
the way people prey on me
and then you prey on me
And you say it'd be disastrous
if ever I were to leave
you'd be incomplete without me
you'd have no soul

I feel it in my gut
spreading like dis-ease
I feel it in my bones
my marrow turns to rust
and I just want to be free of you
I'll even say please 

But you say it's blasphemous
the way people prey on me
and then you prey on me
You say it'd be disastrous
if ever I were to leave
You'd have no soul without me 
here I go

I feel it in my gut
in my bones
my marrow turns to rust
I just want to be free of you

blasphemous

Lyrics:

I've got half a mind
to come apart sometimes 
like when you're tired
and bruised
when you feel like 
you ain't got nothin to lose

can you
let loose your blues
lock yourself in your room
and just try out
just cry out 
heaven have mercy
heaven have mercy
heaven have mercy on me

People rarely try
with all their might
to lay a claim on fame
before they die
and that's me, too
I know you can see right through
why I'm here
shouting out my shame

So I'll lock myself in my room
and let loose with my blues
I'll cry out 
heaven have mercy
heaven have mercy
heaven have mercy on me

Nobody sees me
Nobody hears me
and certainly nobody fears me
when I walk into a room
I'm like cellophane on the wind in the gloom
you can't see me 
but you can see right through

People so rarely try
with all their might
to rage
against the dying of the light
and even on the good nights 
they fight
and that's me too
I know you see right through me

So can you
lock me in my room 
so I can let loose with my blues
and leave me to cry out
heaven have mercy
heaven have mercy
heaven have mercy on me
heaven have mercy on me
have mercy
on me

heaven have mercy

Lyrics:

stow your ego x4
Do you like cement shoes
Do you like sinkin to the bottom
Do you like to bruise
Do you like it at the bottom
Do you like cement shoes
Do you like sinking to the bottom
Do you like to bruise
on your way to the bottom

I'm a live wire 
In a lightning storm, 
I'm mean
But I would fry every sign that I was ever born
if I could just wipe the slate clean
And when the world's on fire 
screaming out for more
All I'll hear 
is the crackle and pour 
of the cement
Filling up my shoes

Because my soul
Is a tuning fork
Humming the broken chord
My fingers are sparklers
Burned out, once bright
But I'm still bored
They tell me I'm special
They tell me I'm brand new
But all that means is
I'm sharp as the knife that's cutting on you
So Don't Tell me I'm special
Don't tell me to save you
I don't think I want to bleed for you

Just because something sounds rude
doesn't mean that it ain't true
Just because I have an attitude
every time I talk to you
doesn't mean I don't like you
It just means
I don't like being me
And once you know that 
Everything is exactly as it seems
that's a fact
Because this ain't about you
So stow your ego

Because my soul
Is a tuning fork
Humming the broken chord
My fingers are sparklers
Burned out, once bright
And I'm still bored
They tell me I'm special
They tell me I'm brand new
But all that means is
I'm sharp as the knife that's cutting on you
So Don't Tell me I'm special
Don't ask me to save you
I don't think I want to bleed for you

Do you like cement shoes
Do you like sinkin to the bottom
Do you like cement shoes
Do you like sinkin to the bottom
Do you like cement shoes
Do you like sinkin to the bottom
Do you like cement shoes
Do you like sinkin to the bottom

cement shoes

Lyrics:
You drink like a fish
and it makes me feel sick
You know, I didn't sign up for this
I didn't sign up for this

You drink like a fish
and it makes me feel sick
You know I didn't sign up for this
Oh no, did you forget my name again?
I'm Just kidding,
I'm just kidding,
but you know, you know

When you're swimming with sharks
you'd better not chum the water too hard
it's too hard, it's too hard, it's too hard
it's too hard, it's too hard, it's too hard

Don't you know when you're coming apart at the seams
it just seems, it just seems, just seems like 
You're chumming the water 
and swimming with sharks
You're swimming with sharks
You're swimming with sharks
swimming with sharks
You're swimming with sharks
keep drinking like a fish and they'll tear you apart

Don't you know 
when you're chum in the water
You'd better not be in the ocean
Because, baby there's sharks
Keep drinking like a fish 
and they'll tear you apart 

It's too hard, it's too hard
You say,
It's too hard, it's too hard
You say,
When you drink like a fish
life in a tank is no way to live

Well what are you running from
What are you tryin to fix
All of these things we've been tryin
what if none of them stick
Well it's been three weeks
and nothing has turned to shit
but then you start drinking again
then you start drinking again

Oh no, 
looks like you found 
the bottom of the bottle, 
again, again, again,
Oh no, 
looks like you found 
the bottom of the bottle, 
again, again, again

You say 
it's too hard, it's too hard, it's too fuckin hard
You say
it's too hard, it's too hard
You say
it's too hard, it's too hard

When you're swimmin with sharks
You better not chum the water too hard
It's too hard, it's too hard, it's too hard
It's too hard, it's too hard

Now you're off on another bender
and you say you can't remember
where you parked your car?
I'll tell you again baby,
You're swimming with sharks
You're swimming with sharks
