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 6: The air traffic control tower

Things can only go up from here

yeah i believe in God,
but i really need this money
you dialed up my natal chart
and i woke up in a library
an ancient library
you hardly know what i’ve been through

yeah i’ve been feeling kind of odd
you could say i’m out of sorts
we need drugs for summertime
cuz summer’s getting awful short
the kids need something to go thru

ok
i’m gonna say something weird
i swear
we aren’t consumed by fear
nonono
so if it’s up in the air
it’s only up from

The air traffic control tower

so you think you’re a scientist
on the precipice
girls doing cannonballs
what is this experiment
you said i’m delusional
what are you even talking about
you must’ve lost your mind
well i think you should shut your mouth

you sure are a philosopher
of a different caliber
so can i ask you something?
what do you think of the (drugs)?
cuz i think
the kids need something to go thru

it’s like there’s the drugs
and there’s me
like two separate cameras on the same scene
what do the drugs see from me
i need to know what the drugs think

i need to know

i’m gonna say something weird
i swear
we aren’t consumed by fear
nonono
so if it’s up in the air
it’s only up from here

at the The air traffic control tower

You need to change your mind
You need to say what you really mean
Cuz we're not gonna be here forever
no no no
And the sooner you learn to accept that—
—the sooner you and I are going to get along

you don't wanna make another mistake
the changes are slated,
impossible to erase
i thought i was mutilated, a massive mistake
but i have literally always been this way

you can't get mad at the kid
just to harbor the blame
i get that you're just a person
but you're fucking insane
i wanna get better
but you belong to my brain
i'm circumscribing a message
and you're repeating my name

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

I love you more than anybody on this goddamn earth

Why do I feel this shake in my lungs
I’m exhausted
Gimmie that 15 minutes
How did I fuck on ur bitch

Why you never wanna make time for me
Stuck to my guns
All i ever wanted was honesty
Bite all on my face, baby
Don’t do me that way
You know I love you
No offense
I liked fucking you more as a friend
Out my body
Don’t care where it ends
This shit killing me slow and I love it
I been a petty bitch since you met me, you know i’m not above it
Yeah I got six days till I-
Six days till I say fuck it and vanish
I can’t make no time for that
Say you love me, I’m sorry i dipped off
I just fucked on your friend cuz you pissed me off
only been 3 days, had to cut you off
I got a whole lot of drugs in this room if i take all this shit you won’t see me again 

I can’t move slow
She a bad bitch, I know

I love you more than anybody on this goddamn earth 
Know you got so many options 
I don’t wanna be that toxic, but could you come home tonight
Why do I feel this shake in my lungs
I’m exhausted
Gimmie that 15 minutes
How did I fuck on ur bitch
I did it

love actually ft vaeo

they can keep the key
what might have been lost doesn’t bother me
the wolves or sheep
with this blood on my hands
i’m making amends
i’ll move slowly
and i’ve worried that you’re worried
cos i wanted
to be like my momma
and get stronger
but you can never put a label on me
we don’t got no id
and if everyone had their reply
i’m on read
i gotchu
i gotchu
i gotchu
i gotchu

i get burning eyes
whenever i take my own advice
it is really mine
i want help don’t need luck
and i don’t give a fuck if you want me to
i’ve learned it’s gotta come from inside me
i don’t need to rhyme
and i don’t need no ivy/IV
i’ve been here all night
i can’t think to forget for you baby i’ll
carry all of you on me
ooo we’ll be fine 
now i gotchu
i gotchu
i gotchu
i gotchu

when you hold my hand
i think “we should make more plans
but you going out in san
what’s the point being friends”
but i’ll never leave your IG hole
and if i fall out in that cold
i trust that you’ll get over that
you wanted me to reaccept my end

i gotchu

gotchu

you wanna be that way
well dive in
dive in my holy ghost

i was never worried bout the six feet
i just wonder why it wouldn’t kill me
i ain’t get above in the fifties
and i know this isn’t making up for lost time
no difference made but now i know mine
making the same mistake for my whole life
now i’m gotta keep it all tongue tied
forty five minutes till you’re really getting tired and you’ll keep your distance
oh my god
i don’t need time i just want your love
and no thought and prayers and heartfelt lies gon play i
guess i don’t know the faith i got
wasn’t myself, it wasn’t my boss
and now all this searching brought me back to say that

i don’t care
bout a stare
or judgment
i don’t care
i don’t care
i don’t care
what your friends want from me
play it fair
i don’t care
i don’t care
bout the gram
to prove nothing
breath on air
i don’t care

locked out heaven like i can’t upset
i don’t need the time to decide i like it the best 
i just came for it
now i got a commission
i ain’t even 18 and i found me a mission
fuckboy treating art like a test
it’s why he always got a issue never given respect
so i just stick to plans cos this shit fun now i got a mentor
toxic engagement is not what i’m motherfucking meant for
i’ll kill your reason with an MC sony camcord

i don’t wanna play the game no more
i don’t wanna play the game no mooooore
i don’t wanna waste my funds
doing something i don’t love
give a little bitty fuck
i don’t
i don’t know where the passion in my subs
so i’ll get it on my own
what’s inside of me is enough like
i don’t want no points
sin or holy
i don’t call shots
and i ain’t no kobe
i tried to wear a collar
tried to be a goalie
i’m done with all then roles you can sell me off as a phony

i don’t care
bout a stare
or judgment
i don’t care
i don’t care
i don’t care
what your friends want from me
play it fair
i don’t care
i don’t care
bout the gram
to prove nothing
breath on air
i don’t care
i don’t care
what you expect from me
i don’t care
i don’t care

you wanna be that way
well dive in
dive in my holy ghost

fuckboy tryna play my homie
but 2020 i’ma take time on me
out the window where my mainline goes
this is sacrilegious how i’m gon fade off IG

heartache comes in many forms
one day opens any door but
i’ve never seen this distant
what success? my eyes are on a screen
if you’re hurting call my line and if you’re doing good, it’s not like i don’t care
i wanna see the world
this shit ain’t the same if i can’t breath your air

fuckboy tryna play my homie
but 2020 i’ma take time on me
out the window where my mainline goes
this is sacrilegious how i’m gon fade off IG
hope you find someone who can be invested
i’m not over you that’s not my objective
so obsessed with my mistakes i gotta accept them
so i’m not gonna listen to him

he always wants a little more
lost in his fake love and subliminals
won’t stay true if it’s difficult 
a lie’s a lie won’t hide the real to waste your time
that’s just being honest
shouldn’t fall in love and i shouldn’t go to college
gotta fight off all the pain he made in august

i’m not who you think i am

fuckboy tryna play my homie
but 2020 i’ma take time on me
out the window where my mainline goes
this is sacrilegious how i’m gon fade off IG
i won’t put no filler or no dud in my setlist
you should up your standards for what i can be impressed with
out your metric
i’m alive and i need help
hit concrete bottom you could say i learned my lesson

fuckboy tryna play my homie
but 2020 i’ma take time on me
out the window where my mainline goes
this is sacrilegious how i’m gon fade off IG

ever since i stopped pretending it was history
dropped out i was 17
now i got more freedom than i’ve ever seen

life don’t have directions
and i’ve been tryna quarantine the thought of heaven
in the meantime
i realized ive been there before
all the doors i’ve closed wanting so much more
now it’s nice to know
there’s no inner me or a victory
it’s all costumes, funny dances to play my mind

dropped out i was 17
wasting all my money mixing dope and lsd
man
momma said don’t get ahead of me
but i don’t wanna go to college I got hella dreams

cancel your plans authority couldn’t handle us
this the type shit make my hands fall asleep
low blood sugar and some more caffeine i don’t

so much luck that i laugh to peices
looked inside for some consolation
i found a bi dime and some pride embraced it
and learned it was never complicated
you are who you are don’t keep you waiting

dropped out i was 17
wasting all my money buying 1-P lsd
man
momma said don’t get ahead of me
but i don’t wanna go to college I got hella dreams
