Quit pretending it never happens You're pretending I never cared Cause this way it's much easier But I am never scared to be alone all the time Like a noise up in the distance And you never cared about me You got these problems by running away from them And I know you're crazy cause you think that we'll still be friends It's a self-fulfilling prophecy Of a promise I'll never keep A deafening silence A moment of violence For those who once held dear That just got swallowed up by fear But I can't remember what's happening now Look how I've forgotten how to care We know! (We know) You won't! (You won't) The enemy changing faces And you don't know what to do when somebody places you down on the ground And you see what you've created But don't ask for help from me now You promised good You promised change If you always had your way And now I've lost my chance to say I believed you that you would've died for me But all I got from you was less than mere humanity What do you want? What do you get What else can you take from me It's a promise you'll never keep A deafening silence A moment of violence For those who once held dear That just got swallowed up by fear But I can't remember what's happening now Look how I've forgotten how to care We know! (We know) You won't! (You won't) The enemy changing faces And you don't know what to do when somebody places you down on the ground And you see what you've created But don't ask for help from me now We know! (We know) You won't! (You won't) The enemy changing faces And you don't know what to do when somebody places you down on the ground And you see what you've created But don't ask for help from me (No, don't ask for help from me) Don't ask for help from me now You knew that there were problems We don't We don't care at all They think it's not worth resisting We know we'll watch as you fall You knew that there were problems We don't We don't care at all They think it's not worth resisting We know we'll watch as you fall YOU KNEW THAT THERE WERE PROBLEMS WE DON'T WE DON'T CARE AT ALL THEY THINK IT'S NOT WORTH RESISTING WE KNOW WE'LL WATCH AS YOU FALL.

I wish I could tell you I've been doing better recently but I've been told not to lie, Every moment I'm not in your arms I feel like I wanna cry. I wish I could tell you I've been doing better recently but I've been told not to lie, Every moment I'm not in your arms I feel like I wanna cry. I don't know how to describe what I'm going through, cept the mirror hates when I look at you. I know it won't be easy, But I won't give up, For the things I'll miss, Like your touch and your love. all i want is stability but i know that i'm a liability why is it that i lack ability can't even cry when something's wrong with me i know i know when i fuck things up i know when to call it enough but i never do it i never do it i never do it i never do shit I AINT FUCKING SHIT there's a little note there to let you know not once in my life have i felt safe so without u in this place i may never know the feeling of love ever again do i let you know? do i let you know?

Step back, take a second to relax. Cousin John got a taste for some micro-rap. It’s jazz, I’m gonna go enact pizazz ‘Katraz kablam command a dance another mass like Smack, it’s come around full stop Making references to more pop than aesop. Tick tock, dog’s not the best pet so what’s next A Tyrannathesaurus rex You see, I’m a special kinda woman I loving what you got, but I hating what you doing In chains, I move the best when I hold Grenades, a truce caress a tie bolden Cause your fedora goes along the neck like you’re an armoured skeptic got a god infection Don’t forget that with the wrong intention Comes a wrongful tension cause in the end small minds think alike Small minds think alike Small minds think alike Hey Richard (yup?) good, you gotta take a break From music that’s dense for density’s sake Ya' haven't been good since 1994 a bore For anyone who stopped at SAW IV The bell went and seized at the end of three, YMS called it a conclusive trilogy So clip clop in time, get a little equine, Collect all of your messages and think to rewind. You see, I’m a special kind of woman I can see through the shit and know what I’m doing With brains, I move the best when I hold Grenades, a truce caress a tie bolden Cause your fedora goes along the neck like you’re an armoured skeptic got a god infection Don’t forget that with the wrong intention Comes a wrongful tension cause in the end small minds think alike Small minds think alike Small minds think alike Small minds think alike Small minds think alike

Step one is growing out of your gloom And then step two is covering up the tattoo Step three is when it all goes to black And then you're there right back where you started That's the truth And you have days of fun Where you clean and run And you throw out the unhealthy food And there are days you wake You have a drink and bake And the next thing you know, there's the moon Oh Should I dye my hair blue? Or should I let it fade Till it all gets through to you Or let my eyes turn red Until I'm playing dead And the storm is coming on too We could get matching clothes And sing "and so it goes" As it all comes crashing down Or I could stay inside Work on a song and cry Cause I've got some undefined blues Backstage and my nose is bleeding You were curled up reading Fear and Loathing as we waited our turn I do pre-show squats Without a second thought I had so much energy to burn And we got on stage And for the first real time We were book and page, verse and rhyme You played guitar, I did the lines We've had our good times We'd split that night at dinner but I still remember it fine Oh Should I dye my hair blue? Or should I let it fade Till it all gets through to you Or let my eyes turn red Until I'm playing dead And the storm is coming on too We could get matching clothes And sing "and so it goes" As it all comes crashing down Or I could stay inside Work on a song and cry Cause I've got some undefined blues Cause I've got some undefined blues Cause I've got some undefined blues (Cause I've got some undefined blues) (Cause I've got some undefined blues)

Riding through the night like a jaded vagabond No one else in sight i could be the only one Hear me radio, play the song I know Take me where I long to go 'Cause there’s nobody nobody now Who can hear me or stop me now In this old buggy old buggy now In this old buggy old buggy now Guided by the stars burning up petroleum Here inside my car I could be the only one Somewhere in the sky a satellite on high Watches with its lonely eye (In this old buggy old buggy now) (In this old buggy old buggy now) 'Cause there’s nobody nobody now Who can hear me or stop me now In this old buggy old buggy now In this old buggy old buggy now

I pay attention to TV Ashley Olson is my enemy I pay attention to TV Ted Danson is my enemy Can of fuel for those in need And a sleepy hop The people in this room I give them STDs and infect their lives with creepy crawlies Down down down Just a little light Those arms were designed to hug me You were made to love me Like you, do do do do do do Down down down Just a little light Those arms were designed to hug me You were made to love me Like you, do do do do do do I pay attention to the radio (yeah) I lick buzzwords, a talkback radio I pay attention to the game show Q&A And crosswords to expand my vocabulary Can I order you a vodka lime Do you have the time to fill my mouth with you I've been noticing the tiniest things I'm a number one sucker for a girl who bites her lips And I hear wedding chimes and Crystal castles, cake, caviar, coattail I walk down the aisle with you And we kiss like a couple for the congregation And there's a napalm priest who's to young, he says Do do do do do do do do Do you take this girl to be your wife hell yeah vice versa likewise Do you take this girl to be your wife hell yeah vice versa likewise Do you take this girl to be your wife hell yeah cause my arms are lifelike I met a girl at a club She was born outta love I wanted kiss her, I was too shy, she gave me the finger And we played rocks and scissors, and scissors played with rock And I said: Watch as I perform my own tracheotomy And when you're working later if you wanna tell a mock at me And yes I'd like a drink but if I drink it I'll be vomiting And yes I'd like to kiss you but you've gotta get on top of me And show me that you'll wanna kiss me back and never run away And pee wee cures a headache and the bed is just the safest place I wanna make out on your sheep skin rug But my fingers do the talking And I'll talk until my tongue is tied up I'll talk until my tongue is tied up I'll talk until my tongue is tied up I'll talk until my tongue is tied up, up up up And I say: Watch as I perform my own tracheotomy Watch as I perform my own tracheotomy Watch as I perform my own tracheotomy Watch as I perform my own tracheotomy Watch as I perform my own tracheotomy Watch as I perform, watch as I perform Watch as I perform my own tracheotomy Watch as I perform, watch as I perform

There's lots of pretty people here Sharing sotries and passing letters and There's lots of questions answered And metaphysical astronomical songs Words printed all on papers that Seem too mystical, it's so magical People that dance and compute that No one's better than you There's kings in distant cities Who rule their persons and make them happy and We won't forget about all the servisory congratulatory Even the animals know that Something's brewing and they're all cooing 'Cause in the end I'd like to say: No one's better than you I hope you're happy now I've revealed the truth I've even written this whole song about you And not about me, and not about me Please don't just laugh and clap right now This is serious, I'm not delirious I've waited very patiently Just to let you know who should run the show 'Cause we all know these are the facts Nothing to retract, nothing too abstract Concluding in this song, I'll say No one's better than you No one's better than you No one's better than you

I hate everyone I love for keeping me anchored to this earth it's in all their god damned support that I can't leave behind a happy corpse with a smile on my face and a hole in my chest 'cause there was a hole in my heart that no one could fix father asks 'why' but please I don't know why mother keeps crying she can't let me go talk going around about being institutionalized cringing in my mind about the thought of being exorcised there's a demon in my brain and he's eating all my joy he's the same spawn of satan that made me the boy I am I am I am I am I am I am I am I am I am I am such a fucking wreck I am such a fucking wreck and I'm sort of scared I'm 18 years old already dead-set on being alone so give me my klonopin and leave me alone or god come about and let me leave home 'cause I hate myself for being self-involved and I love myself for being better than all with my nose in the air I can truly say you would miss me too much if I were gone

The light on the lake through the leaves The fading grass stains on your knees The cling of your dress in the breeze The sting of these memories Is it mine? Is it mine? Is it mine? Is it mine? What do I own? Just the choice to be left alone Is that my voice on the telephone? What do I own Who is this man? Just a bundle of habits and plans Or the way that he grins or he stands? What do I own And everything falls through these hands Gone before I understand Flowing like water, flowing like sand Every decision and every plan Is it mine? Is it mine? Is it mine? Is it mine? What do I own? Just the sum of the things I've been shown Or the choices I've grabbed or I've blown? What do I own Who is this man? Just a bundle of habits and plans Or the way that he grins or he stands? What do I own And if in ten years I pass away Not an atom of me will be the same So who's is that body lying in state? Who's is that dust that's blown away Is it mine... Is it mine... Is it mine... Is it mine...

All that he does is chip away Each day he sticks to his routine: Putting the pieces on Building a big machine He ran out of room inside his room And so he moved it all outside Now it's a bit too big Now it's a mile wide The family vans across the desert Follow signs to park and stare Nobody says hello Nobody knows he's there They just look at the blinking lights and greebles Interlocking arms of steel And they think: Nothing could be so big Nothing could be so real They think: One million springs And spinning things. It's quite a view We have no clue... What does it do? That's the beauty of it It doesn't do anything Doesn't do anything, doesn't do anything He made his own night-vision goggles Now he lurks inside the frame Perfecting it from within Forgetting his own name All that he knows is that it needs him All it knows is he needs it Every piston Every single little bit The government people in black helicopters Try to snoop around I'm so sorry, but he needs the extra parts He takes the choppers down Now there are tanks on the horizon Asking what are his demands? Not one of them understands Nobody understands All the megaphones scream: One million gears Perhaps our fears are coming true What does it do? What does it do? That's the beauty of it It doesn't do anything Doesn't do anything Lost in solipsism He then slowly pulls a lever Which sets off a mechanism Which does nothing whatsoever But the nothing that it does Negates the everything we know Because it's screaming "Just because!" Because it's neither friend or foe And so we label it a menace Or a grandiose work of art From its finale to its genesis We slowly pull it all apart That's the beauty of it It doesn't do anything, do anything Doesn't do anything, doesn't do anything

“Frankly, pop culture is a bit better at rocking people emotionally than the better chunk of the so-called fine arts.” - Kadono Kouhei, authour of ‘Boogiepop’
