i am an icon with pollution in my eyes
i am subjected to experimental life
my head is filled with all the things you advertise
the common filth, the lie, the mental hell online

the world is easier to give up all the time
no point in hedonism if you are deprived
live on in agony or go ahead and die
oh, happy apathy, i'm so desensitized

mental hell online (common filth)

last time i spoke to you 
i didn't know what i was supposed to do with myself
got something to tell you now
but don't roll your eyes at me... i'm not crying for help

last night i had a dream 
that i found a back way out from living hell
i'd give it all to get back with you
but with all said and done, i know that ship's sailed as well

every time i close my eyes i feel so worn...
can you remember way back when before you were born?

i'm on a speedboat yeah 
and i'm flipping at high speed
i'm on a speedboat
i always feel like no one even likes me

a bit of cracklin' rosie helps me
keep the feelings inside me down
i hit the bottle and doze off smiling
...still wake up every day with a frown

i've lived a turbulent life already
turbulence kept the urge at bay
but now they're saying "it's time to slow down"
no way... no way

every time i close my eyes i feel so worn...
can you remember way back when before you were born?

i'm on a speedboat yeah 
and i'm flipping at high speed
i'm on a speedboat
i always feel like no one even likes me

well it's already over for me
this is a one way trip
i'm gonna flip my boat at high speed
and you know the captain goes down with the ship

i'm on a speedboat yeah 
and i'm flipping at high speed
i'm on a speedboat
i always feel like no one even likes me...

i'll show you everything you've done
no point in trying to explain yourself
can't help it now
no words can leave your mouth
you'll reap exactly what you sow
it doesn't matter if you understand
the seeds will grow
they'll eat you up alive 

kiss it all goodbye
you'll be dead and in a coffin
you can wish that you knew why
but in the end you'll have forgotten
all these people drawing lines
parallels and intersections (partitions and connections)
crossing bridges between lives
tying strings into the other side

death never asked you for consent
forever is a moment's rest,
upon you now
breathing your own pollution
the blooming flower of your pride
has a weight so insupportable
it has to die
the stem cannot sustain the burden

(i am a man, a match, a burning mass, a billow of a flame
i am a soul a coal a fullness i'm unable to relate
my name is dream, my flesh is grass, and i grow older every day
my name is words, my flesh is dirt, my name is carved into a grave)

parallels and intersections

i'm a shell of a shell of a shell of a shell
of my former self
i'm a mirror of a mask of a camera flash
in my dim charade
fallen concrete prince in parallax instants 
where the time runs slow
through the stolen years of the lives
i lived a long time ago

we're half way in the same place
your scrimshaw teeth with their blackboard scrawl

this is the year that i finally 
hollow out
the electric spirit 
leaking out our mouths
my heart is on my sleeve and my hands 
down your pants
everything leaves town
help me forget that

we're half way in the same place
your scrimshaw teeth with their blackboard scrawl

Scrimshaw Teeth

Play Dead

with @andcowboys

oh, father sun, oh, mother moon, the children you have made
have started teaching one another how to lie and cheat and hate
and if they hate enough, they'll take their grudges to the grave
they're learning how to kill each other faster every single day
you'll find them shadowboxing until their hands start to bleed
covet what they can't have and taking as they please
father sun, mother moon, the children have grown older
it's too late now to get the chips off of their shoulders

oh, father sun, oh, mother moon, the children misbehave!
they say it's 'cause you didn't listen when they tried to pray
and though they've grown to spite you,
still they'll sometimes call for thee
"my god, my god, why have you forsaken me?"
a rabbit, a roach, a rat, a rose
bad habits don't tend to go away on their own, i suppose
i try to prove myself to them
i lose, i lose, i lose again
i'm not exactly sure if it's worth it, though

where angel wings are clipped and souls are sold
i want to die here, i don't ever want to grow old
dogs of war don't come back the same
i'm going to die here so i never have to change
they hate people like me back home
i want to die here so i never have to go
i want to stay for eternity
i'm going to die here so i never have to leave

I got this special disease
It makes it very hard for me
To understand or realize what's advertised
It makes me seem a little weird
Say things that seem a little queer
And I think too much about this and that and such and such

Autism in my brain
I'm special what can I say
Fluoride and cell phone rays
Radiated plastic face
Yeah y'know I got some rhythm
Maybe that's just autism
I'm a special boy what can I say

I got this special disease
It's sweeping 'cross the country
If you stare too long at computer screens you might end up like me
Don't listen to celebrities
Don't listen to the companies
They wanna warp your mind, it happens all the time

Autism in my brain
I'm special what can I say
Fluoride and cell phone rays
Radiated plastic face
Yeah y'know I got some rhythm
Maybe that's just autism
I'm a special boy what can I say

intro: A...C#m...A...C#m...Cm...Bm...D...Dm

A........C#m
I am happy
A.......C#m...Cm....Bm
I am happy to be sad
Bm ...........................................................D.............Dm
I've given up on trying to make you understand

A...........C#m
I am sincere
A...........C#m.....Cm.......Bm
I am sincerely full of crap
Bm...........................................................D.................Dm
When the irony ceases to help me cope with that

A......................C#m
All I make is noise
A........................C#m........Cm........Bm
Trying to express my point of view
Bm.........................................................D....................Dm
Empty words reverberate on nothing in this world

A..........................C#m
I speak into the void
A...............C#m........Cm........Bm
Curses to use against my soul
Bm..............................................D.............Dm
Echos to the eschaton forever to be told

A........F#m..D..........Bm
My oh my, why can't I
A.................F#m...D........Bm
change my life, valentine?

(cancer on society
caustic instability
crass insensitivity
product of modernity)

outro: D...Dm.... (A)

valentine (demo)

i've lived a life of despair
so please don't take my hair
it's all that i have left
it will leave me bereft
the norwood reaper cometh

the coming years look bleak
for the suffered freak
ascend the widows peak
what makes the brave man meek

the norwood reaper cometh
its here today and its
gone tomorrow
the norwood reaper cometh

oh fighting back is folly
he culls the hedges wholly
sowed by melancholy
betrothed with just the holy

the norwood reaper cometh
its here today and its
gone tomorrow
the norwood reaper cometh
