Ten mile meltdown

thx mom and dad for helping with the cover art

Do you know how to be eighteen?
Do you know how to send your dream?
I'm talking schemes to the max, I'm talking all of your facts
I'm talking all of the time, I'm talking all of the time

We still got a summer to spend
Waste our fucking time, we're taking acid again
And everything I got it all belongs to my friends
Everything is love, but I can never commit

My old swiss army knife
Stem cells, nothing is direct
Everything is love, everything is love
Take the leap, welcome to the plant cell bath

It's bright white, a new kind of mindset
A little clinical, never cynical no
Remember getting your brand new phone?
Remember doing that on your own?

Like being in charge, and fucking it up
What was good became a mess and you thought giving up was
Inevitable, but suddenly...
You feel a supercharge of life

My old swiss army knife
Stem cells, nothing is direct
Everything is love, everything is love
Take the leap, welcome to the plant cell bath

REM, get it all in
Alex found a rabbit now she's wondering if
This world's the place for her
You gotta stop smoking this shit...

Don't be frightened you are in a car
You've just woken up from sleep
I imagine you were in a dream
You are in a dream

My old swiss army knife
Stem cells, nothing is direct
Everything is love, everything is love
Take the leap, welcome to the plant cell bath

REM, at the party last week
You're going off of the grid
I'm just pressing repeat
Cause and effect, building my flying machine
Take the leap, welcome to the plant cell bath

welcome to the plant cell bath

Scene 7: Tweed, acrylic mirror shatters

I get out of bed, I get to work
I'm a sleepyhead, it never works
But I'm a working man, I'm a working girl
and I'm convinced my little scheme is gonna save the world

I'm a narcissist, but I'm optimistic
Something's gonna change, something for the better yeah I know it
Mom called me a conspiracy theorist, she was kind of right but whatcha gonna do?

To be twenty in your room
Pretending I was you
Pretending I was you
I'm sorry for everything
Yeah I'm sorry for everything

I'm an ordinary guy, but my envy got the best of me
I made a new best friend, but now I'm scared of texting him
My uncle called me an empirical guy,
but he said I need to find myself a spiritual guide

I'm a regular girl, I do stuff for fun
I make friends on the computer, always talking to some
I use the internet to find true love
Is anybody every gonna understand?

To be twenty in your room
Pretending I was you
Pretending I was you
I'm sorry for everything
Pretending I was you
If something doesn't change soon

Welcome to the plant cell bath hey
Welcome to the plant cell bath

look

i'm sorry for everything

Scene 1: The family reunion

You were snoring O.D. saw the particle fx
Last time we talked you didn’t know what to expect
So I laid this map out just to see where things connect
You went on vacation but baby I’m on a quest

Welcome to the family reunion
Everybody missed you a lot
You came at the perfect time
Cuz everybody—everyone is stuck in this knot 
I’m not looking for power, but I’m completely powerless
At the family reunion, I didn’t mean to talk about it
But you said that my calling was completely unrelated to this…
(Oh shit, shit I don’t know what to tell you)

You were snoring O.D. saw the particle fx
Last time we talked you didn’t know what to expect
I deliver products and I do my very best
You left on vacation baby, I left on this quest

But every time I look down, I see death
Or maybe something else, but it gives me the ick
Who would have thought after all this time away
I’d have to report back with nothing to say…

You were snoring O.D. saw the particle fx
Last time we talked you didn’t know what to expect
I’m sorry that I lashed out when you put me to the test
But I can’t be on vacation baby I’ve been on a quest

report back

Scene 2: The Savvy & Optimism Alley

I was walking down the street,
I was looking at my feet
Something told me give it up, just admit defeat
But something caught my eye
It took my breath away
A beautiful hot air balloon makes a getaway escape!

I've been here before it's not the first time
You told me how to live the last time that we talked
I've been on this block
Yeah I've been through this alley
I found something new,
I found—

The Nile River
Nazareth
Tennessee
& Timbuktu
Somebody's gotta figure it out soon
Whatever you want yeah it comes to you
Whatever you want yeah it comes to you
Somebody's really gotta figure it out soon

And when this all ends, I don't see us being friends
I think it's different
You know what I meant?
After all, you're a small town girl
I'm a roaming boy
It's an Open World

Have you heard of savvy?
Yeah that's just me with tech
Machines, computers, phones, I never even know what's next
I've been on this block
Yeah I've been through this alley
I found something new,
I found—

The Nile River
Nazareth
Tennessee
& Timbuktu
Somebody's gotta figure it out soon
Whatever you want yeah it comes to you
Whatever you want yeah it comes to you
Somebody's really gotta figure it out soon

Baby I know that you feel the pain
Sometimes it hurts so bad it's impossible to explain
And while I've been alive, I've barely lived at all
How could I live the life I want living in a bathroom stall?

I wish I could explain!
I took your name in vain
Yeah I took your name in vain
I regret it every day, but something had to change oh something had to change
something had to change
something had to change
something had to change

Cuz I've been caged by something gross and weird
For even more than 20 years

(It's the only thing I would ever want to give up at this point either)

The Nile River
Nazareth
Tennessee
& Timbuktu
Somebody's gotta figure it out soon
Whatever you want yeah it comes to you
Whatever you want yeah it comes to you
Somebody's really gotta figure it out soon

savvy & optimism alley

Scene 3: Ogden's Observatory

O—I found another curve
I ran out of words
I started looking at the night sky
I made an observation
It brought me back to Berwyn
Last time I thought I could be in love you nearly died

Cuz you need someone to rely on
And I need somebody to help me with construction
You see I'm working on a flying machine
Almost nobody knows yet,
About my little scheme

I don't know why
But I see you in a special kind of way
You're sort of like
The gateway drug to everything that makes me me

Like my sun sign
And my biggest secret
There are certain things that I like to keep pretty sacred
Just like Ogden
I've only ever met him twice
But you're my best friend, so please let me explain
I've been studying batwings and chainmail and old tech—
—and based on what my Dad said:
Everybody think's we're turning this around
We're gonna make it to the next step

I don't know why
But I see you in a special kind of way
You're sort of like
The gateway drug to everything that makes me me

Beautiful boy

O—I know you're being polite
But with God on the line
You know I'm taking your side
O—I don't know why
But I see you in a special light

Scene 4: The Bathroom

I’m going gizmo
There’s a fallacy
Everyday I wake up and struggle to understand this part of me

Sometimes I feel like the wrong guy for the job
I wake up, look in the mirror, I swear to god
I can put my feelings aside
I’m chasing a dream—Yeah, a hobby of mine

Or maybe I’m just starved for attention
It goes way way way back, all the way to Ascension
So I built this contraption
To add to my collection
Little tiny shards of affection

I’m going gizmo
There’s a fallacy
Everyday I wake up and struggle to understand this part of me

And on my nightstand
I keep a cup of pure source
I charge all of my devices
Same place I keep my swords

(Monologue)

Alright so let’s try and think about it chronologically
I’d say the first thing to really set me off is
I tried LSD when I was seventeen
I didn’t do it for another year maybe—or another two years almost
But, the second time I tried it I had a really powerful experience:
I wouldn’t say it gave me the key to everything but
It certainly took me and plopped me on my path,
My spiritual journey, and—

I'm going gizmo
It's a fallacy

_________________________________
(do you remember me?)

hold it close to you
broken bowed a new
i thought this was life
watch the thread unwind

we were in zion that summer
i was still trying to breathe
watch it corrode the isomers
everything i couldn't keep

all the nights that we spent being young
the copper rocks under our feet
the pastures never felt so wrong
up in flames your favorite evergreen

pull the needle through
laces lorn the center

i promise i wasn't crying
there was just smoke in my eyes
holding you until the morning
i'd fall in and out of the fire
wreathed in hollow ivory
christened collows bedaubing 

and i saw your body covered in roses 
and i started screaming, nobody noticed
the locket you gave me thread intertwined
tearing taut at the seams when it started unwinding 
i fell out the trunk of your dad's four wheel drive 
and we laughed it off when we called it a night
through the laurels and brushweeds we walked side by side
god you were so pretty even when we were crying 
cus' the rust started falling i ran out of time 
watch the world invert into infrared light 
lying lithe on the duff dying embers dissolving 
the smoke in my lungs couldn't stop me from calling your name
but i, (2x)

laurel

another semesters gone and i hardly
guess i'll sequester what i can't rearrange 
it's been a long damn while since a friend had said my name

sill out the corvette clost diptych erased 
roll out the carpet sit latched in a copper cage
i'm in the parking lot and you're still backstage 

i'll be front and center front and center front and center for you
just cus' they said cus' he said doesn't make it less true 
i'm scared to death i'm scared to death i'm to death i'll kill you just by saying hi (2x)

front and center
