Water 03:34
Build by the water I spent my money So it’s mine Build by the water I want it today It better arrive Ground or sea or flight Someday Are you free at all? Can’t tell wrong from right I can see behind you
2.
Pleasure 04:55
I can try to limit my ways But convenience got the best of me The ongoing conflict tears at the seams of my head Taking my mind as collateral She told me I should get with the program, “try to ignore it. Your agony’s an extravagance.” Fucking up everything in my life In my life Everyday I live is an act of violence I can’t tell who it reaches The consequence of pleasure is an abstraction Always out of focus Fucking up everything with my life
3.
With Ease 03:58
Right, my right To get off on a thread on Reddit for angry whites High, so high I shot it up Got enough stimuli Might as well ignore your kids and wife Bye bye To get off on a thread To get off on a thread Sources of my consumption conveniently opaque Prime, click by And lead me away from me ‘Til I’m no longer here ‘Til I’m no longer here

Catechism 04:43

They’re falling like dominoes Fading to the black Trying to take it all back to the enemy Isn’t it harrowing to get off the track? In a perfect world I’d be terrified But I feel just fine; I can do anything Like the albedo tells me so I reflect that light; don’t want any of it Lately I am hating you You are the one to blame But it’s all the same at the end of it Cognitive dissonance on full display All my meditations are buried in the ground Pure forms of wisdom hardly make a sound In a perfect world I’d be terrified But I feel just fine; what is happening? Like the albedo, that skin tone Reflects that light away from me Mom and Pa wrote me a check So I can get into the black Insisting I deserve it, they place it in my hand But I can’t forget The smell of her hair in my sheets As fresh as the indifference she left me as a parting gift Tears me apart from within Without saying a single word I clear the wells of my conscience And stretch the boundaries of my head To make room for her to come back again Any day now (5x) No solace in the world Because the world is indifferent

Partitioning 07:49
Build by the water I’ve spent my money So it’s mine Build by the water Clear the marshlands And feed it to the next poor soul Who wants to have it all

I think I nearly lost my head Finding the question Proposition of a different kind What a sensation Daily acts of violence By good samaritans Firing rounds off a lifeboat Until they puncture the plastic Somewhere in the American heartland Sits an author, pen in hand Momentarily appalled by her children Seemingly she was deranged (5x) Seemingly she chose to leave
8.
Visionless 06:32
Maybe I’ll turn my luck around I ought to know by now In time we’re done You are hopeless; so am I So why the exercise Of loving you at all? Will I see you disintegrate As we go hungry? Can we just go about our shit Passing through life?
