Flying V lights over the desert like we're not alone and answers are out there
Lenticular hubcaps spinning in the air and you're missing hours you can't account for
Just keep your mouth shut lest you ruin your reputation
It would be such a shame for you to lose everything you have
Staring deep into your eyes and wearing black suits and ties
Better stay quiet if you know what's good for you
Glowing red eyes and everyone's asking "how did a guy get up there without wings?"
Flickering lights and a smudge on the lens can disregard everything you have seen
Stick to your guns like Colonel Taylor
Don't let them tell you your mind failed you
They got agendas and systems at stake
Intimidation don't turn real to fake

Release the doves
I wanna move in slow motion
And let them find my rowboat capsized in the ocean
On the morrow' I'll blonde in Toronto
I'll be somewhere you can't find me
Somewhere far away from sorrow
So turn me into a lobster
Cause I think I lost her
So turn me into a liar
My heart's on fire
Plant the gloves
I wanna cause a commotion
Let them find my molars next to where my car exploded
Save tonight
Cause tomorrow I'll be cold
With a blanket and a speaker somewhere in Ontario

I guess I'm just a fucking idiot
I guess you never really gave a shit
I guess I'm exactly who you said
Gullible moron you could use again
I guess the egg just splattered on my face
Pulling a fast one like it was a race
I really fell for it I should have seen
The wolf skin in between
There'll never come a single day
You'll always be the same one
You never wanted any epilogue
Just want to slink your way into the fog
Way to go not owning up to what you did
Dimming the lights and tightening your lips
So now you're looking for a place to hide
Good luck avoiding who you are inside
Good luck with claiming that I had it coming
You're really something

Just hold it in just hold it in
Sure you'll get through it again
Just hold it in just hold it in
Everything will end
Just keep it down just keep it down
Before another meltdown
Just keep it down just keep it down
sad decaying clown
Ondansatron take it away
Having a hard time being ok
It just can't be all in my head
I'm hanging on now by a thread

Bury Me at Makeout Creek

I'm not trying to rewrite history
Not trying to drudge up the past
Fell down a well so far I can't see out
It's hard to cope throw me a rope I'm losing hope
Hold me down
Cause I can't stand to deal with the pain
Hold my hand just like a Vicodin please save me
I never burned a single photograph
It wouldn't help me anyway
I've heard the stories about the telephone
Disconnected in east Japan
There might be someone on the other end
But no one's coming back for you again
Hold me down
Cause I can't stand to deal with the pain
My mistake it happened once
Oh please don't hate me
X'd all the days out on the calender
It didn't seem to change a thing
We're still smiling in all the photographs
Doc please don't let me fade away

It's remarkable how little can change in a year
But it's crazy just how much some things do
Watching the leaves fall I feel like I traveled back in time
Watching the same leaves turn brittle and fall down
Still hoping
Still waiting on a call
Please make sense of it all
I'm coping
With the same open wounds
When snow covers the city and all the insects die
When it all seems silent and standing still
Could the clock freeze like puddles and my windwhield
Could I work between the seconds to fix everything

Swimming Through Glue
03:08

My brain is an exploding star
Floating inside a melting avatar
My lungs are filled with gasoline
They say I just need better medicine
Swimming through glue to stand on my two feet again
I'm stranded on a planet crumbling into asteroids
I'm the screen door replacing hatches on the submarine
Flooding with water depressurized and collapsing
Find me at the bottom of the trench Mariana
Glowing radioactive and leaking corium lava
Take my shoelaces
Leave me in a windowless room
I can't stand myself
What will it take to get me through?
It's kinda hard to breath with a barbed wire ribcage
Especially while drowning
I'm swimming through glue to keep my head above it all

I Lost my Job

I lost my job
And it came at the worst time
I thought I was doing alright
I set up automatic payments
Guess I'll have to change it
I lost my job
Not like I'll find it behind the couch
I'm just a fuck up it's clearer now
I'll spend the weekend sifting through Craigslist
And buy a guitar
I lost my job
I didn't lose a bunch of friends
I didn't steal a bunch of pens
Just lost a good paycheck and a set of static shifts
Just gotta redo my resume
And worry about food and rent and bills and gas
Is this my much needed kick in the ass?
Is this my catalyst to a new path?
Making lateral moves around this city
Gathering shift drinks getting shitty
Might not be sustainable for the rest of my life
I've been through this times before
The pattern's getting hard to ignore
I'M SO BAD AT EVERYTHING

I spent the whole day thinking of your shoulders
Weird little subtle detail, sure
I spent the whole day wishing that the clouds would roll in
So I could sleep in like before
Sporadic snares on the skylight
I think of you
They called it miserable weather
Just cause we had nothing to do
You were the vibrance over a gray background
Clumped pine needles and tattered leaves
Would poking holes in the garden hose
Bring the scent of ozone back to me

1 AM I was drunk as a Pogue and then (something something) I really don't know cause I lost that time like an alien abduction hours went away with my ability to function
3 AM in a hospital bed with 3 staples in my head I forget what I said I was dizzy and covered in my own blood thought I'd be Jack Kerouac but I'm Courtney Love
Sorry Dudes
I just ruin everything
A stupid amateur move like kids do when they're in high shcool
I'm pathetic and dumb
So ripe for running jokes and making fun
Like kids do when they're in high school
Pushing limits and pushing my luck throwing logic to the wind and not giving a fuck why can't I practice restraint and only have a few wish I could say it's just this once but it's nothing new
I could blame it on anxiety and the social situations that aren't left up to me but they'd just be lame excuses for my substance abuses
I'm sorry Luke
I'm sorry for blood staining your shirt
But thanks for holding the wound closed
I'm sorry friends
Sorry I'm such an emberassment
It wasn't even the weekend

The minimum wage went up two weeks ago
But I still don't get guac on my burrito
Postage went up a whole thirteen cents
I still don't pick up the tab when I'm out with my parents
And I'm wondering how long
Till the big pin drops in the housing bubble
And Would it be so wrong
For the landlords to grow some kind of heart
So when will the rent go down?
I' don't wanna leave this town so I'm asking
When will the rent go down?
It's all one big immoral shakedown of everyone around
When will the rent go down?
And everybody here works hard
And take the best jobs they can get
Everybody puts their wants on hold until their needs are met
And everybody wants a home
Not a big exploitive loan
It's like they're laughing in your face the way
They know you'll never own
I would like to follow in some footsteps
The kind that don't track mud through slum apartments
And I would like a basement and yard
How ya' gonna tell so many people it's just not in the cards?
And I'm wondering how long
Till every single tech job becomes obsolete
And would it be so wrong
If something were to happen to the landlord's breaks

Things don't just happen
You know you meant it
Can't make a clean slate
After flowing lava over everything
You left alone
The broken bones
You cut the cable on the tandem dive
"Sorry" doesn't press the lever
Send you back before the sever
Keep the Morlocks in the cave
Flatten out the bad blood waves
Some lousy words
Won't make the world
Spin backwards like some cheap effect in 78'

And when it's over it's never coming back
Blue skies turn to orange and then to black
And we all know it's coming for us fast
And we all know it's never gonna
Last forever
When both clock hands point to never
It's all gone
Take your last bow after the curtain call
Cause every leaf on every tree will fall
A whole production spent managing the anxieties of being
Gone forever
In your finest wooden sweater
Finally see the void when all the lights are out
Gone forever
And be lost into the aether like us all
