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)

Girlie when you rock with me we turn the music way up
Drag that kush into your head, it's gonna take us straight up
Over everybody at the party, gon' be laid up
Pop an upper, downer, hey, whatever keeps the play up
Girlie when you rock with me we turn the music way up
Drag that kush into your head, it's gonna take us straight up
Over everybody at the party, gon' be laid up
Pop an upper, downer, hey, whatever keeps the play up
Didn't know I could feel good like that
Didn't know I could tuck away that strap
You the one who taught me how I could relax
Put away the stress, take a breath, lay back
Never give a second thought, not to any other THOT
You the only one I want, chillin' with me at the swamp
I'mma put you in the bank, I'mma have you with the steak
Crush it, baby, I don't break, let's go make a few mistakes - uh
Let's go write a song or two, that we never release
I'mma use my best voice, only you can hear me
We could do this anywhere, baby we could disappear
Nobody can follow us, they can only follow us
Never sharing this love, they can only taste a piece
Sweeter than they ever knew, so much more they'll never see
We can take this everywhere, we can never ever leave
Whatever you want baby, you're the queen and I'm the king
Girlie when you rock with me we turn the music way up
Drag that kush into your head, it's gonna take us straight up
Over everybody at the party, gon' be laid up
Pop an upper, downer, hey, whatever keeps the play up
Girlie when you rock with me we turn the music way up
Drag that kush into your head, it's gonna take us straight up
Over everybody at the party, gon' be laid up
Pop an upper, downer, hey, whatever keeps the play up
Nobody could stop us when we doin' what we want
Not the government, family or friends, or anyone
Takin happiness into our hands from now on
Try to stop me now but bitch I have already won
I'm not takin' any shit, I been on that for a bit
I'm just gonna be legit, I ain't gotta deal with it
Not with pussy on the dick, not while I be gettin' lit
I'mma drink another sip, forget when life wasn't this - uh
Let's go make some memories, only we can recall
We'll invite a few friends, all the rest can fuck off
We can travel anywhere, baby we could disappear
Daring them to follow us, those fuckers ain't strong enough
Girlie when you rock with me we turn the music way up
Drag that kush into your head, it's gonna take us straight up
Over everybody at the party, gon' be laid up
Pop an upper, downer, hey, whatever keeps the play up

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

市民プールから参上
夏の休暇は熱中症状
また糞ビッチが
あっちこっちに爽やかに泳ぐ
マージービート
魚はダウンタウンに
僕は風俗に落っこちてく
[met in a public pool]
[summer vacations are a symptom of heat stroke]
[all these damn bitches]
[are swimming all over the place]
[mersey beat]

[and i fall into a trance]
君に
HELLOと言っても伝わらないよ
そんな単純じゃ
エンジェルじゃ
彼女は
太陽じゃ
んなわけないよ
そりゃちょっとあんた違うよ
行き先なんて僕にはかんけーない
[even if]
[i say hello to you it wont go through]
[no way its that simple]
[no such thing as angels]
[she couldn't be]
[couldn't be the sun]
[there's just no way]
[i think you might be wrong on that]
[i dont care about the destination]
女は全員魔性さ
飲んだ蹴ったの便所でハイボール
リッケンバンカー、僕はギター
弾いてはリハビリセンター
狂った施設のような
アルトカトラズ刑務所
過ぎた昔、前に進め
光さす方へ (1, 2, 3, 4)
[women are all fiends]
[drink, kick, high ball it in the toilet]
[the rickenbacker, my guitar]
[i play it at a rehabilitation center]
[it's like a mental asylum here]
[an alcatraz penitentiary]
[its all in the past, gotta move forward]
[head to where the light goes]
天気が良すぎて頭はパーパー
水色のビー玉よ
ラムネサイダーの味が
きっとあるよ
シュワッと希望が
はじけるよ
[the weather is so nice, my head is going "boom boom"]
[these water coloured marbles]
[they taste like ramune cider]
[i can definitely taste it]

[hope just pops out]
君に
HELLOと言っても伝わらないよ
そんな単純じゃ
エンジェルじゃ
彼女は

海岸沿いへとオーバードライブ

[no such thing as angels]
[she couldn't be]
[couldn't be the sun]
[there's just no way]
[i think you might be wrong on that]
[i dont care about the destination so]
[overdrive into the shore]

to the sky above higher
like you cant get enough
reach up
push the feeling higher
and then you bring back
真夏の太陽 忘れたいよ
あれもしたいよ
これもしたいよ
彼女は太陽 抱きしめたいよ
こんなんじゃダメだって
分かってるって
バケツの中照る太陽は
そらカラフルメッセージ
何回も何回も考えちゃってんだ
おはようと聞いてみたいんだ朝
窓開けてブルーじゃねぇか
[the midsummer sun, i want to forget it]
[i want to do that]
[i want to do this]
[she's the sun, i want to hold her]
[i shouldn't do this]
[i know i shouldn't]
[the sun shinning inside the bucket]
[must be a colourful sky message]
[ive thought about it over and over]
[i want to ask the morning "hello"]
[when you open the window, doesn't it feel blue?]
真夏の太陽 忘れたいよ
夏の理想像
触れてみたいよ
彼女は太陽 抱きしめたいよ
その時は離さない
僕を見てよ
真夏の太陽 抱きしめたいよ
あれもしたいよ

to the sky above higher
like you cant get enough
reach up
push the feeling higher
and then you bring back
and then you bring back.

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

wreck (nouns cover)

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
