Lyrics:

Why was I born without a storm to weather?
Why was I born into a place where I could see the sun?
Why do the blues seem a greener pasture?
Why is this state such a seasonless one?

Sadness looks better with gray skies and sweaters
The California sun just doesn't match

Can't look so blue with those Berkeleyan hues
Oh
I wish I were sad
Sad in the Midwest

Cue the applause from the one hand clapping
What is the sound of a scene kid crying all alone?
Signal the sound of the left shoe dropping
Where is the fruit of the seeds that I've sewn?

Dance halls are all full in states where the corn grows
The Oklahoma air just breeds despair

Can't sing the blues with these golden gate views
I wish I were sad
Sad in the Midwest

So
Sleeping in storm clouds gets old
Waking at midnight beholding
The light of the
Funeral moon
You have entombed

The dance halls look better
With gray skies and sweaters
The California air don't breed despair

Can't look so blue with these golden gate views
Why can't
I be
Sad
Sad in the Midwest?

Sad In The Midwest

LYRICS:
Insert a quarter
If life's worth living with anxiety disorder
Stealing every instant
A pained existence for no good reason

Insert a quarter
To sing your blues to the windows voice recorder
A tree in a forest, falling on purpose
WIth no one there to hear

Press start to open
A nice career as a software boy in Oakland
Press some keys and hoard your wealth
Or maybe you could kill yourself
Well you know, it's always an option

I've been trying so damn hard
To pick myself up off the ground
It's one step forward
And nineteen backward
Why can't I just play these songs, please?
And still eat

New game, continue
Your save's corrupted but it's better than what you'd go through
Starting a new one
Too old to waste time, but too young to give it up
So pick a dead end, chill out 'till you die

I've been trying so damn hard
To pick myself up off the ground
It's one step forward
And nineteen backward
Why can't I just play these songs, please?
And still eat

'Cause no one
Will pay me to live a decent life

Continue?

Doku - Hakushi Hasegawa

Orange Flavored Lozenge

I was taking a shower, subjecting myself to a typical looping-thought interrogation of my gender identity, when the idea for this song popped into my head. Between the alternating fears of being too queer and not being queer enough, I protested to myself: “well, of all the things I’ve aspired to be, a man was never one”. I immediately started working that into a melody and as soon as I dried off I picked up a guitar and put chords to it. It’s such a direct statement that simple power-folk chords seemed to be the most fitting, and I think what we ended up with feels like an alternate-universe Green Day song about a Sisyphean struggle with gender identity

LYRICS:
Of all the things I ever did aspire to be, well
A man was never one
Of all the holy creatures in a sacred sea
A man was never one

If anything I got so ever tired of being
Such a cast-out sullen son
I cursed myself a faggot and a drama queen
To be such a sensitive one

But if you’re strong enough for long enough
This gender-bending catches up
Like sisyphus I’m sick of it
Let this gender rock roll a bit

For every time I felt that I had someone to be
Full of grit and sports and cum
I’m hanging up the title that was given to me;
A man was never one

But if you’re strong enough for long enough
This gender-bending catches up
Like sisyphus I’m sick of it
Let this gender rock roll a bit

A man can tell you anything he wants to get around
So why have I spent all my life waiting for the sound?

Of all the things I ever did aspire to be, well
A man was never one
Of all the holy creatures in a sacred sea
A man was never one

A man was never one
A man was never one


A Man Was Never One

This is by far my favorite song I’ve ever written. It started as sort of a pep-talk to myself, but ultimately became an ode to all artists and sensitive people. For me — and I think for a lot of creative people — everyday life can be excruciating. Your sensitivity can make you want to sequester yourself away from humanity and never share yourself or your art with anyone. But I want people to know that, despite how painful it can be, it’s always the right thing to put yourself out into the world

LYRICS:

You carry a tune that’s never been spoken
Water your hopes, promise something will bloom
Carry your heart out in the open
Never feel broken, ‘cause nothing is doomed

You ferry a light that’s never been shone in
Kaleidoscopes hoping to cut through the gloom
Blind to the sight, some shudder and whimper
Saddled and hindered, by something to prove

But it hurts, don’t it?

Stumble through nights where no no one is listening
Brooding and bristling and feeling alone
There will be times where bitterness slips in
Moody and missing what makes your soul whole

Yeah it hurts to, but it’s
Something you have to do, own it

You carry a line that’s never been written
Inspired and smitten, there’s millions to move
Carry your heart out in the open
Never feel broken, ‘cause nothing is doomed

It hurts, don’t it?
Even though it
Hurts you, share it
Hurts to bare it,
Hurts

Hurts, Don't It?

We're America Too

LYRICS:
	
So I think you're the bad guy 
So far I'm sober 
It's over, and over, and over 

So far, sleeping in my car, 
Next to the ocean 
The ocean 
The ocean 
The ocean 

air spray, 
Rusting out my bike chain 
Bare foot on blacktop 
Is burning and burning and burning 

Mickey's, 40s, shattered glass around me shows me 
Just what I could be 
If I let you into my life 

So you've taken my daughter 
But I can't blame you 
The monster got darker and darker 

Now that I think I'm better 
You don't know who I am 
Just the mania and opiates and 

Air spray 
Rusting out my bike chain 
Bare foot on blacktop 
Is burning and burning and burning 

Mickey's, 40s, shattered glass around me shows me 
Just what I could be 
If I let you into my life

Sober

Lyrics:
Dust on this tired old street
Mark corners where we used to play
Dust trace our tired old feet
In circles as we pace our time away

I just want to die anywhere else
If only I could die anywhere else
So come with me, let’s die anywhere else
Anywhere, just not here

Stuck on this dead end street
Where all the new kids come to play
Stuck where past and future meet
Watching all our autumns drift away

I just want to die anywhere else
If only I could die anywhere else
So come with me, let’s die anywhere else
Anywhere, just not here

And if they ever hear my name
Will they know I walked alone
Around these dusty streets
My tired old home
And will they ever stop to think
What was here before, no
They won’t remember that I’m gone

I just want to die anywhere else
If only I could die anywhere else
So come with me, let’s die anywhere else
Anywhere, just not here
Oh no

Lyrics:
Some people are one way
That's how they stay
Some people find one life
They live that way

Hey man, have you seen her around?
Have you seen her today?
Weird Autumn
Weird Autumn
I only knew her a week
Before she went away
Weird Autumn
Weird Autumn

Sometimes you can't see someone
Until they're gone
But some people never stop
They're always moving on
Now

Hey man, have you seen her around?
Have you seen her today?
Weird Autumn
Weird Autumn
I only knew her a week
Before she went away
Weird Autumn
Weird Autumn

Out on Arbor Street
I saw Autumn leave
Her family drove away
They can't sell that house
So empty it stays

I never knew why that was
Neighbour kids say it's because
Autumn was weird in a way
That stayed in the house
And weird it remains

Hey man, have you seen her around?
Have you seen her today?
Weird Autumn
Weird Autumn
I only knew her a week
Before she went away
Weird Autumn
Weird Autumn

Weird Autumn

Lyrics:
I've been waiting the longest time
For somebody to notice me
And the problems I have become
Riding shotgun in the passenger seat now
Spend a night with the oak and pine
To get away from the concrete lie
Lot of places when we were young
Drying up as the clock keeps ticking by

Everything is falling out of place
Need to get back to familiar space
Keep myself from breaking down into shapes
With you

Deeply wrapped in the red and brown
Because I've run out of ways to hide
Colors all turn to green in time
Unless you're living in a world that's been dyed now
I'm hanging out at the edge of town
To get a grip on reality
There's something living beyond the line
And I think it's started coming for me

Everything is falling out of place
Need to get back to familiar space
Keep myself from breaking down into shapes
With you

I don't want this nightmare to take over me
I will break this after it's done breaking me
I don't want this existentiality
I will take this time to work on fixing me

Everything is falling out of place
Need to get back to familiar space
Keep myself from breaking down into shapes
With you
With you

Shapes

Lyrics:

I showed up for school with my soul in my pocket
The teacher was wearing a cross and a locket
And a grimace that told me I'd never be welcome
That Dungeons and Dragons would send me to hell
Some kid in the bathroom, between the bells ringing
Shared with me how he made peace with the demons
The advice that he gave me was written on paper
Passed between him and another tenth grader
Six simple words

Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan
Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan

The principal asked me how I had achieved it
I turned it around from a dunce to a genius
He wondered if I had been bribing the teachers
Or copying homework down under the bleachers
I told him that I had found God in my own way
In tablets, and horns, and the boys in the hallway
The head of the class, and I'm writing a speech
It'll be the best one that you ever did read and it's
Six simple words:

Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan
Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan
Beelzebub
Is full of love
Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan

My family's gathered in a circle
I'm 95, and I've lived a good life
My grandson, he hovers around to my bedside
He asks if I have any words of advice for him
And I do, listen in closely
Come on in close, I'll speak it softly

Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan
Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan
Beelzebub
Is full of love
Be gay
Do drugs
Hail Satan

Be Gay, Do Drugs, Hail Satan

Lyrics:

Midnight and the air is warm
We’re back in town for the summer
With a Neutral Milk Hotel CD  blasting
We sang the whole thing through

12:10 when we pull it out
Gotta baggie full of treats
And we knock ‘em down
Now we’re coming up crooked in my childhood bedroom
Just picked up our

Invincibility stars
Immune to all forms of harm
Yes a dream comes true
When you take a little molly with your crew

Talkin crazy in a puddle of love
We tell each other that we’re talented and oh my god
We’re made of meat, we can’t believe just
How strange it is to be

Anything, but a kid in this room?
What are the odds that I’d run into you?
I don’t know why we have to decay on this earth but
I’m glad it’s with you

Invincibility stars
Immune to all forms of harm
Yes a dream comes true
When you take a little molly with your crew

Release me
Of everything
I wanna be
I wanna be
I don't want to go now
I don't want to go now
I don't want to come down
I don't want

Invincibility star
Immune to all forms of harm
Yes a dream comes true
When you take a little molly with your

Immune to all forms of harm
