i'm gonna sleep next to a can of open paint drink until i permanently cannot feel my face those brain cells haven't done me any favors lately find a nice dumb girl and get married move to some dumb town in some dumb valley get a job get a good steady job learn to not be a dick, maybe act like a human pop a couple harrys, dicks, and sallys love them and not just because we're empty i can feel it i could be that guy and it would be so easy i'm on my way give me whiskey, snake juice, rum, paint thinner spin the chamber, pick a fucking winner i can feel the golden glow my apathy starting to go the cynic in me suffocating christ it's fucking liberating

red shirt 03:16
i come down to your planet from time to time shake hands with the natives the way these creatures flock to you i know the score i get it the writings on the wall you look at me the way you do and i just cant be sure am i really the one you mean? maybe your visions gotten blurred come on, look i'm telling you it's written everywhere but the walls have all closed in and now it's hard to see exactly what the message is but i'm sure it's someone else you must mean captain kirk or maybe superman you deserve a superman i'm just a guy in a red shirt the writing's on the wall

i feel like i'm dying i'm not just tired i haven't been sleeping sleep is for suckers and i'm not a sucker and you know some nights when i'm alone maybe i think i might be lonely i maybe think i hear that smiths song as sung by jeff buckley it's called i know it's over but it isn't over what was i thinking? i'm not a sucker and i don't get lonely cause i'm not a loser you can get lonely and i won't give a damn damns are for suckers i don't care about you

dead brother 01:33
brothers are for chumps i wish mine was dead dead brother
5.
may works at a butcher she likes the sound the cleaver makes she didn't like it back when she started but after making it all day every day all day every day she'd never really seen a lot of blood one time her brother fell and skinned his knee for the first few years it made her feel sick all the time now she finds it kind of comforting like a warm bath all day every day the first year her stomach was always upset and she'd cry when they got stock that wasn't already dead she'd call me on the phone and ask me "how did i get here" and i'd say "hey, you're ok, it won't be forever" hello, my name is mabel, and i like the sound the cleaver makes

lemon heart 03:28
the lord of lies the morning star the old head of my dad's god's heavenly choir is doing a mighty kegstand in my heart the prince of the night and the end and the dark parties in the strobe lit halls of my heart it's a rager he's having a good time i guess i could learn a thing or two the devil knows how to see a silver lining if anybody's listening won't you say a prayer for me help me to live my life the way i want if anybody's listening maybe draw a pentegram it doesn't have to be in blood but i've heard it helps if anybody's listening make the sign in the air make the sign on your body make it in your notebook
7.
being happy 01:01
i can see you being happy off in the distance i can see you smiling and in the sun and it's just over there and if you keep on going you will arrive and everything everything will be just fine and you'll say "i did everything just right"
8.
anything 03:20
when i wake up in the morning i feel like i can do anything so i make a pot of coffee and go to the office sit at a desk until five thirty i guess this is anything but hey i've got cash for beer and taco bell and cigarettes and i can get sushi at the mall if i want to or a brand new pair of jeans i can do anything
9.
champion swimmers with beautiful shoulders ground breaking poets with senses of diction diction to die for you write me postcards from sleep in the arms of some critical thinker he doesn't have answers he just knows the question and how to ask it and that's all that matters i've never known
10.
craig finn, teach me to love the way that you love crucified sometimes but not too hung up i just want open arms forever or maybe just teach me to give up i know you know it can't be the loud voice cause i've still got these ghosts i've tried to shake them off but they won't go no matter what i do i can't roll away the stone
