Fire!
02:43
|

Higher, higher, higher
My family died in a fire
And David tells me not to worry
He gets paid to be inspired
Spiteful, spiteful, spiteful
I’ve lived with the disciples
My David loves me endlessly
He’s given me my life force
Silver spoons in silver bowls
Silver bullets, bullet holes
Storm clouds creep over the skylines
And I belong to you, and therefore you are mine
Fire, fire, fire
There’s a fire in the hills
Flooding me with smoke
Do you love me, love me still?
Liar, liar, liar
Do you need me to bow down?
Keep me safe and happy
Do you love me, love me now
Silver spoons in silver bowls
Silver bullets, bullet holes
Storm clouds creep over the skylines
And I belong to you, and therefore you are mine
Spiteful, spiteful, spiteful
(Higher, higher, higher)
I’ve lived with the disciples
(My family died in a fire)
My David loves me endlessly
(And David tells me not to worry)
He’s given me my life force
(He gets paid to be inspired)
Liar, liar, liar
(Fire, fire, fire)
Do you need me to bow down?
(There’s a fire in the hills)
Keep me safe and happy
(Flooding me with smoke)
Do you love me, love me now?
(Do you love me, love me still?)

The Lovers.
02:17

Ooh
Ooh
Picnic blanket
Yellow grass
Hateful September day
The sky was turquoise
I would’ve said that
If it wasn’t so cliché
You say
“We could’ve made such pretty things together”
But maybe pretty things just don’t do it for me
And the clouds were gray and sudden
And they painted you in watercolors
As I watched from the background
The fickle earth was so in love with you
And we could’ve made such pretty things together
But maybe pretty things just don’t go that deep
We could’ve made such pretty things together
You’d look so pretty facedown in the creek
Ooh
Ooh
And the clouds were gray and sudden
And they painted you in watercolors
As I watched from the background
The fickle earth was so in love with you
And we could’ve made such pretty things together
But maybe pretty things just aren’t for me
We could’ve made such pretty things together
You look so pretty facedown in the creek
And we could’ve made such pretty things together
But maybe pretty things just aren’t for me

It All Sounds the Same
04:23
|
|||
We’re not dead yet
So we do class A drugs in bed
And we sleep close like sardines
Canned up snug in the bathtub
But when the water comes on
We’ll know it’s been too long
Still immobilized by depressants and inhalants and stimulants
And facedown in two inches of water we’ll drown
My lover, do you recognize me now?
My face is gray my hair is falling out
But we’re not too old for tomorrow
We’re not too young to back out
We’re not dead yet
So we’ll drink the blame instead
Amber liquid, lighter fluid
All the same to your intestines
I can’t speak the same these days
I don’t recognize my voice
And the trophy wives
And red brick homes
And migraine pills and silicone
They’re all slipping away, they’re gone
Your mother will be getting worried sick
All the Cabernet in the world won’t calm her down
But we’re not too old for tomorrow
We’re not too young to back out
And I am so fucking confused
My tongue is salt and pepper static
Waking up under the bed
Find you smoking in the attic
Dehydrated and decayed
I roll myself into your blankets
Taking up what space is left between you and what you wanted
Two years ago in twelfth grade when your hands and your legs revolted
Said you’d drive your fathers car over the Francis Scott key bridge
I am sorry it all sounds the same
I’m so sorry now
(x2)
My brother, in US army green
I can still sense him wanting
To ask my dad if he’s proud

The Jail Song
01:27
|
|||
I am in jail
I am in prison
I went to jail
For being a felon
I killed my family
I killed my wife
I killed the neighbors
I ruined my life
I strangled my lover ‘till she couldn’t breathe
I dumped their bodies down I-83
I was eating my dinner when they came for me
I cooked up their bodies like rotisserie
I am in jail
I am in prison
I went to jail
For being a felon
I don’t get mail
And nobody calls me
I went to jail
Now nobody loves me

Aurora and the Ghost

Aurora and the ghost
Aurora and the ghost
The girl I loved the most
She was eaten by the ghost
Aurora and the ghost
Aurora and the ghost
The girl I loved the most
I could never let her go
Taken from me
I’m still waiting
In the underworld
There’s a place for me
In the underground
I’m still thinking
I could someday be
Next to my baby
Fuck religion
We’ll be free
In the underworld
There are better things to be
Aurora and the ghost
Aurora and the ghost
The girl I loved the most
With her hands around my throat
Aurora and the ghost
Aurora and the ghost
The girl I loved the most
It will never let her go
Little monsters
They still haunt her
They took my girl
They took my lover
Whisked away
In pale white linens
They wrapped her hands
In clean white blankets
Fuck medicine
They don’t know her
They’ll hurt my girl
They’ll kill my lover
Empty houses
Empty heads
Empty bottles of Absinthe
Empty futures
Empty beds
Empty bottles of aspirin
Empty problems
Empty friends
Empty days of empty absence
Empty people
Emptiness
Empty things to say again
Aurora and the ghost
Aurora and the ghost
The girl I loved the most
She was eaten by the ghost
Aurora and the ghost
Aurora and the ghost
The girl I loved the most
I could never let her go
Aurora and
Aurora and
Aurora and the ghost

Lower Lip, This is It
02:11
|
|||
This is it
Look left, look right
She’s saying this is it
The rest of our lives
And if that don’t depress you
Something just isn’t right with you
I’ll say that it depresses me
Just to avoid fighting with you
As you lick the blood off of my face
You’re turned on, it’s sick
The shape of your teeth
Leaves a crimson half moon on my lower lip
As you prick the needle through your skin
You’re burning and sick
The taste of your spit
Leaves a reason to say “I am alright with this”
And if that don’t depress you
Something just isn’t right with you
I’ll say that it depresses me
Just to avoid fighting with you
Facedown in the grass
Your eyes are made of sugar and plastic
And I don’t wanna know you anymore
This is it
We’re left tonight
She’s saying this is it
Our meaningless lives
This is it
We’ve come to the end of the line
She’s saying this is it
And my lower lip is on fire
And my lower lip is on fire
And my lower lip is on fire
And my lower lip

His Pupils Are the Sun
01:41
|
|||
His pupils are the sun
Shining outward from his skull
Projecting precious life
Blinding me with every glance
Flowers from his mouth when he told the world his name
The wicked vines crept down his throat, he was choking on the leaves
Water poured out from his eyes, it was heaven on my tongue
He finally said the drought could end and I collapsed at his feet
His pupils are the sub
Shining outwards from his skull
Protecting precious light
Blinding me with every glance
But he was not made for forever
His gold leaf skin was awfully fragile
And his insides grew more molten every time he tried to wet them
He was not built to get better
Once his guts had gotten rancid
I watched as his world unfolded into uncompleted fractions
He was not made for forever
And when he fell the earths core quivered
And the galaxy bent sideways
And the sun blinked out forever

Davis, No
01:36
|

Shrink down small
Molecular levels
It kinda hurts but I kinda like it
Thinking thoughts
Rectangular bruises
It kinda hurt and I kinda liked that
Davis, no
Where did you go?
Davis, why
Do you have to die?
Hit me hard
I’m orbiting houses
Try to say that you’re not really like that
Christmas cards stuffed underneath the front door
It’s getting hard
I wish you wouldn’t say that
Davis, no
Where did you go?
Davis, why
Do you have to die?

A Cannibal Man
02:55
|
|||
I don’t think about the past more than the average person
I try to avoid all the shit that isn’t worth it
I don’t sit back and drink a beer and ask myself how
My best friend from high school’s a cannibal now
Oh, oh
I don’t try to make things fit with my agenda
But I’m feeling real bad about the way things happened
So I’ll sit and drink a beer and try not to cry
My best friend from high school, the people he cannibalized
Oh, oh
And people will talk
People will talk
People will talk
(x3)
I don’t stand for things
I try not to try
I am not that kind of person
Got no light in my eyes
I don’t get many things
That still live in my mind
Just my best friend from high school
No, that never dies
I don’t get very stoned
I don’t get very high
I am not that kind of person
I try not to try
Oh, oh
I am a monster
A cannibal man
I’m very lonely
I ate all my friends
I went to the doctors
Tried all the meds
They didn’t help me
I ate all my friends
Oh, oh
(Oh, oh)
I am a lobster
Right now on the road
And I’m coming back for my bed now
I’m so glad you got home
Love it love it love it

The Satan Guys

Trash bags, 2015
Sitting in a circle at the ravine
My best friends looking at me
A jug of vodka sitting at our feet
And it’s a wonderful place to be
It’s a wonderful way to be
It’s a wonderful thing to be
Please, please never let go of me
Flashbacks, LSD
Indescribably and indefinitely happy
The weekend’s waiting for me
I don’t think we’ve ever been so free
And it’s a wonderful place to be
It’s a wonderful way to be
It’s a wonderful thing to see
Please, please never let go of me
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
(x2)
And I could not get back there
I could not go back there
I cannot go back there
I could not get back there
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
(x2)
(Whoa, whoa)
And there are things between our skin
I could not reach into your skin
The water won’t be satisfied
Until I throw myself in
Whoa, whoa

No Vacancy Signs
03:57
|
|||
We rolled a gram of weed up in a torn page of my history textbook
I put it to my mouth, inhaled the dates of major battles and the names of dead presidents
And you laid on your back
Felt the galaxy collapse
Felt the meaning in me twitch
Saw your motionlessness
And my thoughts chased yours like foxes, yours ran away like rabbits
The prose got too dramatic, you were diving from the rafters
You were swinging to the time of some silent metronome
I was chewing on the dirt, they were burying me alone
And I met you on the asphalt
And we waited for the cars
The headlights silhouetted our sneakers, we were gone
We transcended to the next world
We made lots of brand new friends
We confirmed the only truths of life: it starts and then it ends
We confirmed the only truths of life: it starts and then it ends
And you were on your back
Felt our rib cages collapse
Felt the air start to rip
Saw your motionlessness
And all that we drank in high school is gone
All that I drank in high school is gone
It lives on, it got recycled, now it pumps through my heart
And all the shit you smoked, I guess it stayed in your lungs
“No vacancy” in blue and green and lit up just behind your eyes
Murky, winking, looking at me, all the patrons get denied
I was ranting, it was just that, I’m not making any sense
I didn’t know what was happening and I haven’t known since then
And all that we drank in high school is gone
All that I drank in high school is gone
(x4)

Clean High
02:27
|

Clean high
I know what you mean
Good try
But I’m not budging
Our god pulled over on the beltway and made us get out
And pour water down his back and bring him aged wine
The summers were hot then, the water was cold
We washed his holy feet and he left us to die
Clean high
Clean, clean high
And a lot of people will call us crazy
A lot of people will call us evil
The heathens of the Blue Moon Motel
The demons of Southwest Pulaski Highway
Clean high
Clean clean high
(x5)

Misery Season
04:18
|
|||
Orange demon
Give me something else to put my keys in
I could push to go, I could tuck and roll
But it’s looking like another misery season
Putting MDMA in your Cherie
Putting MDMA in your coffee
Doing MDMA in the lunchroom
Selling MDMA from the pocket of your hoodie
Orange demon
Give me something sweet to believe in
I’ve got hell to pay, I’ve got things to do
But it’s burning like a fucking sheet of metal again
Putting MDMA in your whiskey
Putting MDMA in your coffee
Doing MDMA in the bathroom
Selling MDMA out of the pocket in your hoodie
So let’s stay friends
Let’s stay in each other’s bedrooms
Let’s get wasted
We both know that there’s nothing else to do
Girls dressed in red
And pretty boys in earnest
Highway blues
Let’s sleep in each other’s bedrooms
Misery
Think you’ve got a chance with me
Misery
Think you’re thinking you could kill me
Misery
Think I’m drifting off to sleep
Driver’s seat
Tires skid and red lights blink
Gentle days
Paper cuts and alcoholics
Hell to pay
But you know that that’s redundant
We can put MDMA in our Cherie
MDMA in our coffee
MDMA in our Mountain Dew
MDMA just dripping from our IVs
And we’ll stay friends
We’ll stay in each other’s bedrooms
Lots to feel
In the closet in your parent’s room
Girls underground
And pretty boys without purpose
And the back of your head
Tells me this wasn’t worth it
Misery
Think you’ve got a chance with me
Misery
Think you’re thinking you could kill me
Misery
Think you’re drifting off to sleep
Drivers seat
Ambulance screaming, one last drink

The great hand pointed and I felt a stab of dread
That gets me every time I find myself in front of it
The great hand pointed, it was horrible to see
The great hand pointed at me
And everything was staring as my body convulsed in the grass outside the house
Everybody knew, every single person knew, what was actually inside of me
The great hand reached out of the sign of the forsaken
It ripped my arms off, it smashed my legs in
The great hand pointed, it was deafening to see
The great hand pointing at me
And then the music picked up loud and I felt the earth spit at me
You wandered through the crowd just to get a better view of me
As I lay twitched on the ground with the great hand hovering over me
And I felt like a little kid who was caught up in a lie
(Felt like a little kid who was caught up in a lie)
Oh, the smart ones never live
Oh, the guilty never die
