Lyrics:

Why was I born without a storm to weather?
Why was I born into a place where I could see the sun?
Why do the blues seem a greener pasture?
Why is this state such a seasonless one?

Sadness looks better with gray skies and sweaters
The California sun just doesn't match

Can't look so blue with those Berkeleyan hues
Oh
I wish I were sad
Sad in the Midwest

Cue the applause from the one hand clapping
What is the sound of a scene kid crying all alone?
Signal the sound of the left shoe dropping
Where is the fruit of the seeds that I've sewn?

Dance halls are all full in states where the corn grows
The Oklahoma air just breeds despair

Can't sing the blues with these golden gate views
I wish I were sad
Sad in the Midwest

So
Sleeping in storm clouds gets old
Waking at midnight beholding
The light of the
Funeral moon
You have entombed

The dance halls look better
With gray skies and sweaters
The California air don't breed despair

Can't look so blue with these golden gate views
Why can't
I be
Sad
Sad in the Midwest?

Sad In The Midwest

Just realized I never actually uploaded this to Soundcloud. This came out late 2019. I gotta say it's one of my favorites!


Lyrics:

As we watch the entropy increase
I hope it doesn't reach to you and me

Every system's order in decline
The heat and laughter leaving, yours and mine

You're so good
So far
You're so good
So far

To start, a bang, to end it a big freeze
To wake on Sundays without you next to me

The grasses laid on fade from verdant greens to ochres, dusts and embers 
The shores we sunned on retreat into the sea

You're so good
So far
You're so good so far

Desaturate from
Golden hues
The end is near for you, and me

Atrophy may take us down
But I can’t help but love you now

Cuz you’re so good
So far
You’re so good
So far

Heat Death (So Good So Far)

LYRICS:
	
So I think you're the bad guy 
So far I'm sober 
It's over, and over, and over 

So far, sleeping in my car, 
Next to the ocean 
The ocean 
The ocean 
The ocean 

air spray, 
Rusting out my bike chain 
Bare foot on blacktop 
Is burning and burning and burning 

Mickey's, 40s, shattered glass around me shows me 
Just what I could be 
If I let you into my life 

So you've taken my daughter 
But I can't blame you 
The monster got darker and darker 

Now that I think I'm better 
You don't know who I am 
Just the mania and opiates and 

Air spray 
Rusting out my bike chain 
Bare foot on blacktop 
Is burning and burning and burning 

Mickey's, 40s, shattered glass around me shows me 
Just what I could be 
If I let you into my life

Lyrics:

You were my brother but we
Killed each other
Now we’re sinking to the bottom with the 
7th world wonder

Born together, then it just got worse
Cause everything is better
Everything is better in reverse

I wish we were unborn
I wish we could return
To simple times when
Human beings
Were just proteins being formed
Let tape re-furl
Let it lift this human curse

Cause everything is better
Everything is better in reverse
Everything is better in reverse
(you try, you can’t rewind)

I watched a movie backwards 
About the manufacture of the
Weapons we unmake and disassemble ever after
The shrapnel was interred into the earth
Cause everything is better in reverse
Everything is better
Everything is better in reverse

Better In Reverse

Lyrics:
I spent a lotta time just waiting for a sour face to sweeten up 
But buttercup, there’s no such luck 
I shed a lotta tears just taking on the fate I’d earned 
But lessons learned, I guess it wasn’t yet my turn to suffer 

The ouroboros swallows its own tail 
The symbiosis we have built will fail ‘cause 

You don’t 
Love me 
Like I 
Do you 
I won’t waste my time being abused 

You don’t 
Love me 
Like I 
Do you 
You don’t even love me do you? 

There’s comfort in the panic wondering 
Who is coming home 
Will it be you? 
Or just some monster I don’t know? 

I wasted love, I wasted life 
I wasted every day 
But now alone 
I think I’m better off this way 

Codependent cycles slither on 
Habits form a poison equilibrium 

I don’t love you 
Like you 
Do me 
‘Cause I don’t 
Treat you like you’re less than me 

I don’t love you 
Like you 
Do me 
I don’t even love you 
Do I? 

No 
I don’t 

I go backwards 
Ever after 
Retreating to the place 
I knew when I was eight 
Yeah mom and dad, they scratch and bite 
But this is love I know it right 

So please 
Don’t 
Go 
Please 
Don’t 
No

Lyrics:

I won’t bother
To stop the monster
He’s coming near
Don’t show your fear

He serves the great sadness
Through phantoms and ashes
I let him in
With rye and gin

He’s limbless and helpless
Still able to ravage
He won’t cohere, just drinks your tears

No moonlight or magic to bring out the madness
He’ll dim the dawn
And steal your song

And now I know
That I could never let him go
Always a part of me
My enemy, the end of me, but still
I will
There’s comfort in the chill
 
And sometimes when he’s home
I feel manic and unknown
Energy for everything, but downward swings are coming for me I
Hope I don’t get so low
I kill myself

Lyrics:

Bernie Sanders is my wife

Baby Bernie wakes me up
With a cup of coffee,
And a scone he brought me
I look up
Bernard is smiling,
Said he let me sleep in ‘cause my

Week’s been hard
Broke my back down in the lumberyard
But the union’s back together,
Now that daddy Bernie wrote that letter

Bernie Sanders is my waifu
Bernie Sanders understands me
Bernie Sanders saved my life
Bernie Sanders is my daddy

Wifey Bernie picks me up
Tells me I look handsome,   
And he puts his hand upon my cheek

Says he’s been thinking
That I deserve a drink because my

Year’s been rough
My premium’s gone up, and up
But my healthcare’s getting better
Now that Daddy Bernie
Passed that measure 

Bernie Sanders is my waifu
Bernie Sanders understands me
Bernie Sanders saved my life
Bernie Sanders is my daddy

He tolerated all these corporate attacks 
But he’s sang the same song for 50 years
And boy,
It fucking slaps
  
Bernie Sanders is my waifu
Bernie Sanders understands me
Bernie Sanders saved my life
Bernie Sanders is my daddy

Bernie Sanders is My Waifu

Lyrics:

I showed up for school with my soul in my pocket
The teacher was wearing a cross and a locket
And a grimace that told me I'd never be welcome
That Dungeons and Dragons would send me to hell
Some kid in the bathroom, between the bells ringing
Shared with me how he made peace with the demons
The advice that he gave me was written on paper
Passed between him and another tenth grader
Six simple words

Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan
Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan

The principal asked me how I had achieved it
I turned it around from a dunce to a genius
He wondered if I had been bribing the teachers
Or copying homework down under the bleachers
I told him that I had found God in my own way
In tablets, and horns, and the boys in the hallway
The head of the class, and I'm writing a speech
It'll be the best one that you ever did read and it's
Six simple words:

Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan
Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan
Beelzebub
Is full of love
Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan

My family's gathered in a circle
I'm 95, and I've lived a good life
My grandson, he hovers around to my bedside
He asks if I have any words of advice for him
And I do, listen in closely
Come on in close, I'll speak it softly

Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan
Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan
Beelzebub
Is full of love
Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan

Be Gay, Do Drugs, Hail Satan

Lyrics:

Five years
and I’m clear
I don’t remember anything I did that year
But I think fondly
of being unhappy

Why do lilies
smell so sweetly

Woozy, wounded, lovesick and sappy
So why am I
Nostalgic for a time when I wasn’t even happy

Useless teenage blues
I don’t miss you

Ten years
And I fear
I’m nowhere I wanted to be
I got student loans and a stupid career

But I miss hurting
Or feeling fucking anything

Clutching at coals, flagellating my back
Burned me and turned my heart black 
So how come
I still want that

Woozy, wounded, lovesick and sappy
So why am I
Nostalgic for a time when I wasn’t even happy

Lyrics:
I’m draggin' my feet
I’m draggin' my bones
I’m draggin' what remains of the shreds of my soul

I feel incomplete
I feel so homesick
But I’m already home

I’m already home
There’s nowhere to go

Pardon my feet
Pardon my soul
Pardon every part of me that’s not quite whole
Ashamed to exist
Ashamed to be lonely
I gave myself to fear and now I’m letting it own me

I want to exist
I want to be happy
But everything hurts
When you’re maudlin and sappy

I don’t wanna die
But I don’t wanna be alive
I don’t wanna be alive
But I don’t wanna die

And there's nothing I can do

I'm already home
There's nowhere to go

Fucked up, knocked down, in over my head
An inch of water, I drown in my bed
I don't want to be myself no more
No more

I'm draggin' my feet
I'm draggin' my bones
I'm draggin' what remains of the shreds of my soul

I'm already home
I'm my solipsistic hole
There's nowhere to go
I'm all alone
I'm already home

(drops on Christmas)

Lyrics:

Santa Claus has COVID
And your family's stuck at home
Bill Gates is feasting comfortably on your adrenochrome

But Christmas won't be cancelled kids, so dry your weary tears
Daddy Bezos is filling in for Santa this year

Mr. Bezos could you bring me a dream?
Could I get a daily bathroom break in warehouse 23?
Could you tell the pesky pinkos that the union makes us weak?
Bring me a dream

(a dream, a dream, a dream)

Mr. Bezos
I've been so good the whole year
Would you let me take a holiday to spread your yuletide cheer?

Could we privatize the winter spirit
Make the angel's wings require prime

(need prime, need prime, need prime)

Rudolph is on a respirator now
Frosty melted from the fever and became a puddle lying on the ground
But Christmas won't be cancelled kids, so dry your weary tears
Daddy Bezos is Santa Claus this year

Mr. Bezos
I've left out cookies and oil
I wasn't sure what drones would eat but I thought they would enjoy
A little treat before they black out all the light beneath the Star of Bethlehem

Mr. Bezos
Could you bring me a choir to sing a carol while my books roast
On an open Kindle Fire
Could you send your private army to arrest the ones who curse your sacred name

(who curse your sacred name)

Rudolph is on a respirator now
Frosty melted from the fever and became a puddle lying on the ground
But Christmas won't be cancelled kids, so dry your weary tears
Daddy Bezos is Santa Claus this year

Mr. Bezos,
Have you water to spare?
Now that Whole Foods is the only store the
Shelves are rather bare

The marauders roam the wasteland
Burning villages along their slaying ride

Rudolph is on a respirator now
But Christmas won't be cancelled kids, so dry your weary tears
Daddy Bezos is Santa Claus
Daddy Bezos is Santa Claus
Daddy Bezos is Santa Claus this year

Mr Bezos Is Santa Claus This Year

Lyrics:

Midnight and the air is warm
We’re back in town for the summer
With a Neutral Milk Hotel CD  blasting
We sang the whole thing through

12:10 when we pull it out
Gotta baggie full of treats
And we knock ‘em down
Now we’re coming up crooked in my childhood bedroom
Just picked up our

Invincibility stars
Immune to all forms of harm
Yes a dream comes true
When you take a little molly with your crew

Talkin crazy in a puddle of love
We tell each other that we’re talented and oh my god
We’re made of meat, we can’t believe just
How strange it is to be

Anything, but a kid in this room?
What are the odds that I’d run into you?
I don’t know why we have to decay on this earth but
I’m glad it’s with you

Invincibility stars
Immune to all forms of harm
Yes a dream comes true
When you take a little molly with your crew

Release me
Of everything
I wanna be
I wanna be
I don't want to go now
I don't want to go now
I don't want to come down
I don't want

Invincibility star
Immune to all forms of harm
Yes a dream comes true
When you take a little molly with your
Invincibility star
Immune to all forms of harm
Yes a dream comes true
