Out Ep

born brothers bothers 
birth masks death passive aggressive 
sew stitch patch fix 
but all red already worn 

out try we try we find 
it so why is it so 
hard to be to say 
to play to be in a room. 

oh my god 
oh my god 
oh my god 
born rot 
birthed old 

grow up spring 
has come again 
stuck stuck in a 
loop fear what 

can we make 
us four what can we design 
it’s a sign a 
weed grows 

fast faster than our 
crop cropped out 
of the sketch 
split in into quarters 

oh my god 
oh my god 
oh my god 
born rot 
birthed old 


start again, 
do better 
something could happen, 
it almost worked before, 
we just have to try harder 
we can make it work, 
it almost worked before, 
double up our efforts, 
the cycle has ended, 
it almost worked before, 
we just have to try harder 
start again

senses enflamed and burnt out 
we see fireworks, people about 
packed together in your mind 
every look, eclipsing blind 

no, joy, please stay 
it’s not just me that will fade away 
fingers run bloody through dreamy haze 
tending sheep, so i say 

no, joy, don’t wake 
at all, sleep late 
in the other state 
real, imagined and made 

fine thin grass points to your brow 
filing down clouds, what’s left is doubt 
all you absorb makes a callus grow 
around you’re eyelids, ears and nose 

but joy, in here, you’re never left out 
buses are on time, time’s a clown 
tricks performed, to entertain 
if you ask, i’ll say again 

No Joy, don’t wake 
at all, sleep late 
in the, other state 
real, imagined and made 

No Joy 
at all 
in the 
real.

Jo Passed - Out EP - 04 - Jo Passed - No, Joy (I'm Not Real, Girl)

the futility of your design
sprits taken from another’s mind
palm on palm

did we fall from the same garden
the crops are spoiled
can you tell the good
from the bad

if you don’t use the funnel
the filter will break
and love is a idea
too easy to delineate
for you

it’s so easy to relax
when friends encourage your path
chosen on a whim

open to your closed mind
in love with your confines
i know about your prison
locked on the outside, and within

don’t leave me alone

another trait assembled
to make outside resemble
your bedroom

your common sense isn’t universal 
and nature is much more
than what’s outside

open to your closed mind
in love with your confines
i know about your prison
locked on the outside, and within

wanted just one more day
to square all my thoughts away
file down and criticize
staring forward, side by side

he talks you down the best 
and in a crowd you could be so lonely 
try and get some rest 
and don't take that shit from anybody 

they're not worth your time 
if they can't commit to listening 
rage you listen so well 
but now it's your turn to say something 

speak up, speak now 
don't let him drown you out

Jo Passed - Out EP - 02 - Jo Passed - Rage

i can't stand this 
standing in 
what's all this mess 
where have you been 

to interpret 
out of control 
last time i checked 
there were no levers to pull 

i stopped shaking 
once in position 
i become something else 
but just in relation 

don't mind the people outside 
they chose that path for their lives 
pull the cloth down to your chin 
such a good feeling to be in 

and i can't respect 
any logic 
if it's not what we found 
it can't exist
