impermanence (deluxe)

how long can i repent for sins i didn't commit?
knowing we never spoke the same language
yeah i've taken hints, and apologized
'cause we never saw love from the same side

you touched my body
but you never got me
i just lay there wondering
when you'd get off me (get off me)
and you keep on talking
talking 'bout my body
change the subject
and get off me (get off me)

i never was in my body
and now i found somebody who loves me
and every time he touches me
i feel embodied in my body

never was in my body
and now i found somebody who loves me
and every time he touches me
i wanna be here in my body, in my body
i'd wanna be here in my body

this vessel that i'm in will never exist again
time has its limits
i'm just here for a visit
there's something pleasant in this impermanence
in the end, everyone dies
but you never learned to live

embodied

speaking in tongues
proselytizing
holy rolling
flags are flying
some people screaming
some of them crying
dancing in the spirit
prophesying

my love goes straight to your head
im giving you a god complex
ill worship you and no one else
keep giving you a god complex
god complex, god complex
im giving you a god complex
god complex, god complex
im giving you a god complex

you are the way and the truth and the light
you are the one that no one can deny
you are the way and the truth and the light
you are the one i refuse to deny

cuz' god complex, god complex
im giving you a god complex
god complex, god complex 
im giving you a god complex

god complex

(meow, meow meow, meow)
(meow, meow, meow, meow)
my cat my cat my cat
a dirty dirty kitty
spread at the center fold
he's very very pretty (meow)

my cat my cat my cat
he's sweet and mean
just like me
he's so fierce and fancy
sophisticated pussy (meow)

left to his own devices
he loves a taste
a taste of violence
no hands could crucify him

come on, come on, come on
come on, come on, come on
come on, come on, come on
come on, come on, come on

my cat my cat my cat
a dirty dirty kitty
boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend
so very very pretty
(meow)
(meow)

sophisticated

go ahead
play your saddest songs again
i know we're at odds again
nothing's making sense
summers come, you're sleeping in your clothes for months
said don't wake me up, no not even once

summer breeze comes in sweetly  
and i believe  
it's gotten easy to lie to me  
but i wont let you know  
lets see where this goes

my back is hunched
folds my spine
i cant stand up
i dont know what you've become
but i know what you've done

i called your friends
cause im in fear of the bitter end
you're standing by yourself
they watch but they dont help

summer breeze comes in sweetly
and i believe
it's gotten easy to lie to me
but i wont let you know

summer lies

you've got to Iive it to Iearn, get fucked to grow up
and bIow what you've heard, yeah you know
you'II know when life take a turn
if there's a hoIe in your gut, and bIood on your shirt

and you're suckin' at the tit, aIternative milk
how'd it get spiIIed all over the bills?
oh yeah, oh yeah
suckin' at the tit, aIternative milk

you've got to learn to digest this impermanence
it's not like they said, don't you know? there is no infinite life
it's just a roll of the dice, so keep your teeth in line

when you're suckin' at the tit, aIternative milk
how'd it get spiIIed all over the bills?
oh yeah, oh yeah
suckin' at the tit, aIternative milk

suckin' at the tit, alternative milk
don't care if it kills, long as you get your fill
oh yeah, oh yeah
now you're suckin' at the tit, alternative milk
don't care if it kills, long as you get your fill
oh yeah, oh yeah

im reaching and im scratchin for the switch
but i cant turn it off
it hurts me more than id like to admit
cuz' that's not what i want

i cant control it, i cant control it
it keeps on goin
im stupid, im selfish, im a bitch
and i cant turn it off

got bit by the bug and he dug in
and i dont know what he wants
i cant control it, i cant control it
it keeps on going
i cant contol it, i cant control it
i must be broken

for you ive been trying to improve
cut out all my worst for you
but thats the least you wanna do
cut through with the velocity of truth
surrender everything i knew
just to be open through

i cant control it

a crisis; without a cause
faith put in a false god
a miss-step of a motive
im tryna get to where im goin'
a new way to call it off
you leaned in when i told you to stop
my heart is now imploding
im tryna get to where im goin'

stagger on through life, backwards
you will, stagger on through life, backwards
backwards, backwards, backwards

you're quite the oppositionist
so you're happy too, not trying to quit
out of fear & loathing
im just tryna get to where im going
you see, the mountain's just a cliff
and i can't you talk you down from it
the road home is eroding
im just tryna get to where im going

stagger on through life, backwards
you will, stagger on through life, backwards
backwards, backwards, backwards

(now im waving the white flag)
(i had ur back but you got me bad)
(my loyalty has fucked me back)
(and im learning lessons on how to detach)

backwards

god made u in his image
consumption & desires

mouth breathers

the further you fall
the harder you climb 
the more that you fight
the greater the height
the lower you're borne
the thinner you're worn
the more distant the light
the greater the height


its all about perspective
a single dimension smile
a chance encounter 
a stroke of luck
if you never been hurt
you will never heal
if you've never been challenged
you've never tested your steel

the further you fall
the harder you climb 
the more that you fight
the greater the height
the lower you're borne
the thinner you're worn
the more distant the light
the greater the height

we all fall from graces
get down on our faces
you'll never know the
higher you'll go cause'

the further you fall
the more that you fight
the greater the height
the greater the height
the greater the height
the greater the height

great heights

hand in a tremor
i string it together
not in possibility
just comes difficultly
its so frustrating
the time that its taking
defy plausibility
get there eventually

if it was easy
everybody'd do it
everybody'd do it
if it was easy
everybody'd do it
everybody'd do it

stitching up wounds
sometimes popping balloons
fixing things that i cannot see
so good at mending me
everything's broken
or just look at it closer
the survivalism is factual wisdom

its sewn with a needle and thread
if it was easy, everybody'd do it

my god is still speaking
my eyeballs are leaking
is my god still watching me?
or is this autonomy?

thread

i don't like cocoa
you'd never know it
i live in la, oh yeah i'm golden
i got no money, you'd never know it
never know it cuz' i work it up

and aII the stars, they Iine right up
and faII down at my feet
and aII the cars, their headIights
makin' spotIights just for me!

where do you go when you can't go home?
you just keep dancin' there all alone
where do you go when you don't belong to no one?
no one, no one
no one, no-no one

sunrise on sunset
i wouldn't miss it
my little bon-bon
yeah, you can kiss it (mwah)

and all the stars, they line right up
and fall down at my feet
and all the cars, their headlights
makin' spotlights just for me!

where do you go when you can't go home?
you just keep dancin' there all alone
where do you go when you don't belong to no one?
no one, no one
no one, no-no one

where do you go when you can't go home?
where do you go when you don't belong?

no one

a penny for a quarter
i know i'll trade it up
it's gotten out of order
i shouldn't like you this much

i've fallen so far
i could send a postcard
it hit me so hard
knock me right at that part

oh, you're like pepper/mint to me
and i kinda love the way you sting
you're cold with a little heat
yeah, when im with you i can breathe
oh, you're like pepper/mint
pepper/mint to me

a cynic and a scholar
spinnin' in a cup
just like cherry cola
i like to mix it up

i've fallen so far
i could send a postcard
it hit me so hard
knock me right at that part

oh, you're like pepper/mint to me
and i kinda love the way you sting
you're cold with a little heat
yeah, when im with you i can't breathe
oh, you're like pepper/mint
pepper/mint to me
