Fly On The Wall
04:36
|
|||
|
Find a hiding place so I can
Fully lament the days ahead
I’m tired of this place I’m in
Tried to get away but I can’t ever escape
Can I hallucinate the future?
Tried to explain and then you turn
Oh my god
I must deny cameras in the sky
So far up; fortress in the air
Shelling everywhere
All my wealth
Might just be a lie
I am just a fly on the wall
The wall
The wall
The wall
The wall
Oh my god
I must deny cameras in the sky
So far up; fortress in the air
Shelling everywhere
All my wealth
Might just be a lie
I am just a fly on the wall
Satisfied as you swat the fly
Wholly dependent on subservient lives
All by yourself but you’re tethered to her
Keeping your lights on from the end of the world
Find your hiding space

Outlier
03:28
|

Only one more barrier to clear
I found a ticket to seven figures
Trapped inside a broken home
Right on the red
Sold in one more year is what you said
Forget the permits
I’ll put up the scaffolding
I’ll take the first lift up
What a beautiful property
Nothing more to see here
I told you everything
You can fuck your warranty
From the edge of your balcony
Before the building collapses
Was it only an outlier?
Was it only an outlier?
Was it only an outlier?
Was it only an outlier?

Call it a home
Acquired not too long ago
I bought it in cash
This eye sore on a block of stolen land
Sold by the worst people I’ve ever known
Water in the walls
Already seeping through the stone
Like buyers into markets
Sippers into cafes down the road
Oh I swore off the coffee
Now I’m paranoid I’ll lose it all
They never come
And they never will
They never come
And they never will
They never come
Dividends
Reliant upon the thinnest edge
Making a mockery of providence
Oh was it worth all the trouble,
Permits all the digging ‘til the end?
Another word for your core belief
Is interest
Oh I’d rather sit back
From afar, uninvolved
And let it convalesce

Okay
03:01

Was it so obvious at the time?
Maybe I’ll cry wolf a million times
Forty, fifty years gone by
Maybe I’ll blow up that pipeline
It’ll cauterize
No time, not time
Why wait?
Why wait?
Why wait?
Why wait?
Hang the baron by the neck
Stone him, stick him in a barrel
Up to his head
Either you or I
No wrong, no right
Okay
Okay
Okay
Okay

Myopium

If I don’t see it, it isn’t there
How long must I stare?
Indulgently unaware of yourself
Take care
You’ve taken all you can bear
Maybe I don’t care
There’s only a little more time
I swear
Are you high again?
Sad to see God run away?
Are you feeling lonely?
You’re mistaken
Oh do you ask yourself..
Oh my god
Oh do you tell yourself
You’re done
Are you high again?
They will never know
That I disappeared
Will you meet me there?

Nice Thing
02:49

If you are looking for a nice place
For a brand new cafe
I can’t help you at all
But if the issue is hard to say
I can help you then
I can help you then
If you are looking for a recommendation
For your next hit of dopamine
I can’t help you at all
But if you’re sticks were tossed into the flame
I can help you then
I can help you then
I can help you then
I can help you then
I can help you then

City Park
02:42
|
|||
|
I took a seat at the bar again
The music is blaring
The sound of it kills me
I need to get out of here
Maybe I’ll take up writing
I’m no artisan
Now I’m in the city park
Noise all around me
Noise all around me
It’s so fucking nice to be here
Noise all around me
Am I in a conflict of mind and spirit?
Am I in a conflict?

Bust

She made the drive to town
Every day or two
Passing the wide open fields
Of that prized liquid glue
Dad always said the meadow drills
Bobbed for apples
He’d as soon watch them starve
And shrivel away
She liked to drive window down
No radio
All her memories attach themselves
To cedar elms
Never want to linger long
Inside her own head
She liked letting all her thoughts
Soak into the leaves
That’s how she moved on
Sequestering pieces of herself
Into the ground
Dad always said the meadow drills
Bobbed for apples
He’d as soon watch them starve
And shrivel away
Oh I never want to linger long
Inside my own head
I wished I loved you more
That’s how I move on
That’s how I move on

Lick From The Sink
04:37
|

|
We can talk all about it
Without feeling the weight
This will only last so long
I swear I saw my death just outside
When I rolled down south
In my private plane
Taking stock of water
For you, me, and the others
At the same place that I killed my ancestors
Oh was it you?
Are you with me now?
(You may wanna hurt…)
Oh was it real?
Are you with me now?
Is that my death outside?
I oughtta know by now
I oughtta to know by now
I oughtta to know by now
We can talk all about it
I looked for you
You’re really gone
It’s another method of trying
There…
This will only last so long
The fire finally through the wall
At J.P. Morgan
Now you go around
Licking your water from the sink
Rent another charter
To get across the border
Everyone looks so small from above
That they might as well be the same
Oh adhesive is drying up
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooohhh
I oughtta to know by now
(You may wanna hurt yourself)
(This will only last so long)

Grounding
04:00
|

|
We can talk all about it
Without feeling the weight
This will only last so long
A whisper takes me back into the ground
Why do I need this body?
I looked for you
You’re really gone
It’s another method of trying
To live in focus
