The city is on fire, and I love
The smell
Hate the charcoal sky
But I love the taste
Do we evacuate, or do
We stick around?
Release the hounds!!
Clear the fucking grounds
Leave your fucking homes
I don’t like bad news
But I love the show
Hate the destruction
But I love the glow
We are on the scene
Watching the city burn
The city is on fire +
You’re looting homes
Taking the only possession
That these people own
Do we evacuate, or
Do we stick around?
The city is on fire + I’m staying
Here, to catch the fucking cunt
Who dares to steal from me
We are on the scene watching
The city burn

Even my dreams are boring
No lions, no tigers, no bears, OH MY!
No pirate ships
No sunken treasure
Nothing’s fun at all
Even my dreams are boring
And all my dreams are boring
And that’s why I can’t sleep

03 - heat
01:15

The heat outside is erasing me
It turns the bright spots
To darkened Grey
I don’t know what comes
Over me
My body shuts down, my
Mind deletes
I don’t like what it makes
Me think
I think I’d better stay
In today
The air outside it does things
To me
It makes me think things
I’d never say

04 - lesser breed of man

My stomach’s growing, and my
Hairline has receded
Everything’s alright,
It’s getting harder to
Believe it
My knuckles drag, and
My shoulders slouch a little
My shit stinks and my
Cock is only adequate
It’s not my fault, I’m doing
The best I can
I can’t help that I’m a lesser
Breed of man
My family’s fucked, and
I’m getting ready to join ‘em
My clothes have holes
But I’ll probably stitch them
I’ve got a wife + a kid
And this band too
At least I’ve got somebody
Who loves me so fuck you

05 - shore leave
02:30
|
|||
|
Too many days at sea
With only thoughts of my own
Here on my fragile boat
My mind is burnt out and worn
Don’t let that boat bring you
Into the shore
Don’t let their voice bring
You onto the shore
Just let that current
Pull you further away
But it sounds so nice it
Feels like home
You know that you know
Better than to follow
Better grab a bucket
Because we’re taking on water
Gotta get rid of water
Because we’re going under

It’s only me, It’s always me
What are my chances when it’s
One out of three?
What am I supposed to say
That doesn’t make it worse?
It’s only me, it’s always me
I hear it so much that I’ve
Got to agree
I’d never go back to the
Way that things once were
I thought that this was gonna
Bring us together
Instead it’s only tearing us
Apart
I remember when it was
Just one or the other
Now it’s nothing else but
All of us
|

We only fuck in the 4th
Dimension
We only sleep to stay
Alive
We don’t speak out
We talk telepathically
We only scream
“Can you hear me know?”
We don’t think about the
Bad times
We gave up trying to
Figure you out
It’s not you who destroys
The universe
Why can’t you listen?
Can you hear me now?
I’m still trying to single-handedly
Repair the economy
No need to thank me, I’m just
Doing my part
Got ½ off of some shit I needed
None of
Only a fool would pass a deal
Like that up!
