I would give my youth to never grow up
I'd regale you with tales that I had made up
All the firemen with their hoses and trucks
Won't spare a drop until we've drained all the floods

I'll tell the truth if you forgive all my lies
Listen to your words but that look in your eyes says
You'd better be different than the rest of them say
You'd better prove to me that you can still change

I eventually listened, but by then was too late
No point in dwelling on the fooprints you made
Turn on the oven, await your return
Asleep in my bed while the house we built burns

All the birds up in the sky
Look on down as people die
Overhead, they see the truth
The murder of innocent youth

Handed guns to shoot, to kill
Each other's blood, we're told to spill
From so high up, we look the same
Killing each other in His name

Lies!
We're one in the same

The terrible truth beyond curtain of lies
We're one in the same, yet one still must die
Fly up real high and witness the view
Become a god and lose yourself, too

Trapped with this melody, trapped with these notes
I'm gonna ship away and it won't be by boat
Get me a rocket, jettison to the moon
I'm still here for now, but I'll be up there real soon

Look down from above, at my ruined abode
Rejoice for the love that we were able to know
Scream into the void as I hurtle toward
Cold, uncaring silence and memory scorned

I would give all my years just to relive my youth
I'll make up all the tales I'll pretend are the truth
All the spacemen with their rockets and guns
Won't fire a shot 'til we've killed our loved-ones

Guns

Lyrics (by Kurt Cobain):

Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to, but it couldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing

And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel
And I wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself and wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
Smell her on you

Don't tell me what I wanna hear
Afraid of never knowing fear
Experience anything you need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
Until it's fucking gone

And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel
And I wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself and wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
Smell her on you

Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to, but it couldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing

And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel
And I wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself and wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to make you a deal
We've made a pact to learn from who
Ever we want without new rules
And we'll share what's lost and what we grew
They'll go out of their way to prove they still
Smell her on you
They still
Smell her on you
Smell her on you

Lounge Act - Cover (Nirvana)

Lyrics (by Thomathy Yorke):

If you're in the forest, out of your mind
Harpies in the branches, breaking your arms
If you're stuck in rainbows, a shattering glass
When you miss the moment, watching it pass
If you say the word, if you say the word
If you say the word, if you say the word

When you spend your life wishing a twinkling star
When you forget how lucky you are
Buried in rubble, 60 foot down
If you say the word, if you say the word
If you say the word, if you say the word
Then I'll come running

When you change your friends like changing your clothes

If you say the word, if you say the word
If you say the word, if you say the word
If you say the word, if you say the word
Then I'll come running
I'll come running

If You Say the Word - Cover (Radiohead)

I hope you fall off a cliff and die
Realising that wounded birds can’t fly
Slicing like teeth through a meal
Through everything you ever thought was real

Ah, so that’s how you feel?
So that’s what you mean when you say that it’s real?
When you hit the ground, I hope that you don’t even bounce
Your words are only sounds, there’s nothing left to think about

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Yeah! Now I’m inside your head
Burrowed like a worm consuming everything you said
Run like a ground-squirrel but you can’t escape what’s
Inside your own skull, now reality is paper-thin

Don’t complain, bitch
Don’t make a sound
It’s far too late to use words, now

Now that you’re gone, why don’t you stay that way?
Neck-snap impact, you won’t be coming back

Find your new home in the ground
Suffocate without a sound
I buried you under my feet
Burrowed worm proceeds to eat

Now that’s it
We’re out of time
Bon voyage 
Have a nice flight

Bon voyage
Have a nice flight

Xerus

I watch the light drain from your eyes
Your hand drop down onto your thighs
Disposable vape clatters to the floor
A puff of poison dissipates

It doesn’t even feel right to cry
I’ve cried for you so many times
And in hindsight, this loss of life
Felt more certain than the changing tides

Still, somehow, I hoped you’d change
Hoped you’d give up your stubborn ways
I’m not trying to make this harder for you
I’m just trying to save you

Three years ago we watched the sun set on the beach
Tide approached but you didn’t take it as a sign like I did
That it was becoming too late for you
You were never as analytical and superstitious as me
You never knew. You knew, though, that it had to stop
And now, finally, it’s stopped.

But, really, this is in my head
Imagining a friend standing over me, dead
Because I’m failing so slowly it doesn’t feel like a threat at all (falling so slowly it doesn't feel like I'm gonna hit the ground)
Slower than paint peeling from the wall
Of my smoke-encrusted halls

I’d like to think I’m gonna quit
It’d be the nice way to end this shit
But I guess you already know what I’m doing
As soon as I’m home from work
I think I owe it to you, though
To give this quitting thing a go

So, up into the black I’ll fly
In a rocket fueled on borrowed time
There’s no oxygen up there
To light a cig, except in the ship
But I’d be too scared to do that 
'Cos it might cause an explosion and kill me

I won’t let it kill me
I won't let it kill me
Mhm
I won't let it kill me
No, it's not gonna happen
I won't let it

A Day at the Sea

The Owners Can Deal With it

Well, I think I see another side
Maybe just another light that shines
And I look over now through the door
And I still belong to no one else

Maybe I hold you to blame for all the reasons
That you left
And I close my eyes, still I see your surprise
And you're leaving before my time
Baby, won't you change your mind?

Surely don't stay long, I'm missing you now
It's like I told you I'm over you somehow
Before I close the door
I need to hear you say goodbye
Baby, won't you change your mind?


I guess that hasn't changed someone
Maybe nobody else could understand
I guess that you believe you are a woman
And that I am someone else's man

But just before I see that you leave
I want you to hold on to things that you said
Baby, I wish I was dead

Surely don't stay long, I'm missing you now
It's like I told you I'm over you somehow
Before I close the door
I need to hear you say goodbye
Baby, won't you change your mind?

Bones

Pass the jug of Stones, friend
Drinking up my paycheck once again
Headin' out to bear country, up in the north
Me, my buddy Joe and the other boys, now

I got nothing for you, baby
I got nothing for you
I'm not tryina ignore you, but I 
Threw my phone in the river in an impulsive act of defiance, ah

I know
I know
I know
I know

Campin' by the river, now
On the rocky mountain trail again
Resting our weary asses
Still sore from hours spent sitting down

I was blind to the music
Of cicadas humming us to sleep
Of the rocky mountains
And all the ways that you had deafened me

I got nothing for you, baby
As I drift off in a haze
The door is open for you, lady
I don’t care if you stay, no more

I know
Cheers to everyone I know
I know
Cheers to everyone I know
I got nothing for you
I got nothing for you
I know
Cheers to everyone I know

Slàinte

All those who sought to witness him
Found themselves in the fucking ground

Chanting depths of the seaside town
"Awaken, o thou sleeping God"

O. the fields they plowed are taken by the rot
They pray, now, to feed themselves

Hath our sacrifices simply come to naught?
We wither and rot for you

Every single drug you've ever seen, take it
Every single thing you ever felt, sedated
Every mistake that you ever made, repented
Accountability exhumed by religion 

I can't do this anymore
Warm embraces growing cold
I'll put on my face today
