i am running away by sitting here
cigarette breaks and every hour of beer
what do i have to fear
what could i lose in the clear
the emptiness of sadness
and beer still that numbs
take off the eyes
and see what you can surmise
stomach can't help but lament
now that my mind demands me repent
is it something i will resent
or am i already heaven sent
the emptiness of sadness
and beer still that numbs
take off the eyes
and see what you can surmise
don't want to be happy
i just want to feel
don't need to be happy
i'll settle for sappy
i'll settle for something real
so bessie, give me the space
finally state my case
finally tell it all to my face
don't you leave me sacred place

he's on a high here
it's all sunken under him
but he's on a limb
culminating in hurting something
oh it's such a dilemma
it's inhabitable land
the way we treat ourselves
different towards the people we understand
we find solace in chaos
recursively studying a thing
we know we can get smaller or bigger
low! high!
he figures out his plans
he draws and sketches ideas for hours
he comes to the conclusion
that he's lacking in power
he doesn't want to speak in meter
cause it's too limiting
he doesn't want to words to sound fine
cause it's too limiting
he doesn't want to write something great
cause it's too limiting
but his dimensions draw too thin a line
cause it's too limiting
low! high!

Submarine

here comes the new anomaly
here comes the new obsession
knocking down everything in its way
and it doesn't stop when you look it in the eye
no it doesn't stop, no it doesn't stop
no it doesn't stop, no it doesn't stop
it could be too early
only know by 2040
even then though, who's to say?
it could be too early
there's baggage and there's skeletons
and dirty laundry
how else to know?
where we could go?
how else to know
what's buried beneath the waves
i would never tell you
and neither would he
there's just no desire
an iron coffin in the sea
how could there ever be a fire
in a submarine?
stumble out of bed
dress yourself in your duds
won't you go outside your door?
you never knew (how could you?)
that i grew a disliking
how else to know?
where we could go?
how else to know
what's buried beneath the waves
i would never tell you
and neither would he
there's just no desire
(an iron coffin in the sea)
how could there ever be a fire
in a submarine?

Two People

i get straight, but i get bent
another day with flaws apparent
critiquing how my past was spent
i don't want to do this again
but yet it's all habit
major lack of discipline
i think but still enact it
definition of a hypocrite
i criticize but still do it
i criticize but still do it
two people living in my brain
two people always disagreeing
two people always trying to fight
two people deciding my life
one person wanting me to change
one person always staying the same

give me a task i have all of the answers to the questions you don't ask
sing me a song from the book with the glass cover over and over again
just like a lover
and they say they're not the same
oh no, no
and they say they're not the same
i say i wish to mean i should - throwing out the bad along with the good
sing me a song from the book with the glass cover over and over again
just like a lover
and they say they're not the same
oh no, no

Buffalo Jump

we love the white,
the yellow and the pale
we love the bite
of the cold, cold gale
children come to join
such a joyful life
then we see the fang
and the children start to run
now we all follow them
til we reach pishkun
the children come to join
such a frightful death
a giant herd of buffalo
not knowing they're about to fall
escaping from danger
that they don't know is not a choice
by the evening
they'll all be put to use
in some ways we win
in some ways we all lose
this is my meal
these are my clothes
these are the weapons made out of your bones
we have no choice but to use your life
for a plentiful way to survive
children come to join
such a joyful life
the children come to join
such a frightful death

The Dirge
07:15

it shouldn't have started like this
but now it continues in bits
we left you, but you've followed
you can't live life without me
you will just not let us be
although we've esteemed your autarky
as a right, a right
prospects seem daunting
we've conferenced arbitratingly
but we can't slightly compromise
we despise that
it's terminally our dirge or it's yours
we shake hands but we still scabbard longswords
our ethics clash
it seems this is a war
(zornhau) doing
(krumphau) things that
(zwerchhau) my people are for the sake of love
(schielhau) symptoms
(scheitelhau) disease
(vom tach) i'm already taking steps
(oberhau) in case
(mittelhau) we have
(unterhau) to screw it up to start again
this clash is subservient
to our survival and the morals we rival
your sin is just another way of saying
that you require the utmost eliminating
it comes consistent to what we aren't
it's contra naturam
this is liturgical
cause now i see the theophany of all of the
values in the world used to choose my desires
my ambitions to fight and what jolts the wires
this is what i was made to do
both sides are arming
now both sides are bombing
the land and the water they reside
i can't hide
that it's terminally your dirge or it's ours
our demand of the end swells the hours
our civics clash
it's been declared this is war
(zornhau) doing
(krumphau) things that
(zwerchhau) my people are for the sake of love
(schielhau) symptoms
(scheitelhau) disease
(vom tach) i'm already taking steps
(oberhau) in case
(mittelhau) we have
(unterhau) to screw it up to start again
this is your dirge

Vulture

an acidic taste
poking through the waste
everything's a battery to get a flavor of
you know it's yours
as soon as you lay your vulture eyes on me
everything's a case
you're always the plaintiff
kangaroo court in full motion
you know it's on true
you know it's yours
as soon as you lay your vulture eyes on me
why the pressure?
why are you so firm?
we barely know you
you barely know us
understand the dynamic
make like a tree
why's it so constant?
why do you care?
do you only see
other people this way?
a deflated balloon
the party's been over for several days
yet you linger around
no strong connection
no way to hold a pinata in two
you know our secret's out there
circle around me
make do with it
wait till i'm dead
then bring it up again
tearing from my flesh
does it get you high
from cyberstalking us
with your vulture eyes

Sunflower Funeral

eyes fixed to junk
shifting to a dead flower
it wilted on the wall
and another on the floor
i'm awaiting those headlights
one of these last nights
i'm awaiting those headlights
it's one of our last nights
and it's all over now
there's no more struggle
we're gonna watch her prince
but i'm stuck to her eyes
what i would give
for a lifetime of these nights
i should tell her about this wish
nervous words stuck at the lips
maybe i'm just afraid to admit
maybe i'm just too afraid to admit that
and it's all over now
there's no more struggle
stop before you fuck up your friendship
you're just another chapter in her life
another wilted flower on the wall
if she wants you back she will call
but until then
it's all over now
there's no more struggle

i am but a thread-bare breeze
blowing in from the south-east
a breeze is a singular thing
does nothing but wander and sing
blowing away
blowing blowing away
kinda cold, kinda wet
it's easy to forget
kinda worn, kinda sore
it's hard to ignore
blowing away
blowing blowing away
from this hungering place
is it to my friend’s disgrace?
am i upending or just ending
it all today forever
will there ever be
another harmony
or just whole notes?
blowing away
blowing, blowing away

Insomniac of the Dawn

slow and deliberate
every instance
it's dancing with overtime
all action, no thinking
explosions near me
every instance
followed by thunder
and it's an apparent waltz
alive in motion, alive and goin
to the rhythm of our heartbeats
rising the pressure of your meek body
i want to go home

Lurch

this is another day
i can't bring a smile to my face
i look downwards to a gaze of contention
breaking off the daze
i lurch trying different ways
but it doesn't ever faze my resentment
i feel possibilities will naturally crumble
but i have to exercise the privileges i have
weeks become years
as your age increases faster
as you're left stranded and casted
out of your youth
responsibilities
patience isn't a virtue
when the clock speeds up
with every fucking blink
i feel possibilities will naturally crumble
but i have to exercise the privileges i have
i can't go this way i make shit by the second
i have plans but i don't know that
but i can't wait and i abhor that
i have to be patient
this is another day
i can't bring a smile to my face
i look downwards to a gaze of contention
breaking off the daze
i lurch trying different ways
but it doesn't ever faze my resentment

i can't believe you
holding my hand
i'd truly never ask you to be
something i cannot believe
something i will not share
or dare to stick out my hand
i can no longer see my dreams
i can't believe you
