Together

I wanna lie and tell you I'm not afraid.
I wanna steal and make you think your to blame.
I wanna kill everything inside us that makes us feel pure.
I wanna laugh at every goal you have reached.
I wanna stab at all of your core beliefs.
I wanna hold all the wold in my pocket and keep it in darkness for my own benefit cuz
I am you. And you are me too.
And together we will conquer, if we want to or not cuz if we don't the universe just might implode not that we'd notice.
If every little girl and byt are born for happiness and love and joy then why all this hesitation?
I wont even for one minute pretend that in the end the world could live as one peaceful nation.
But se la vi. No need for fright.
Cuz without left, there'd be no right.
I wanna cry for every ghost I have seen.
I wanna smile at strangers who see through me.
I wanna love all my pain instinctive and love all yours too.
I wanna live in silence and fantasy.
I wanna grow in all the cracks in between.
I wanna know all the world is conscious and in that be thoughtless
and know life will fuck with it cuz,
I am you. And you are me too.
And together we will conquer, if we like it or not cuz if we dont the universe just might implode not that we should notice.

Tighter

I twist and turn through the night.
I scream and scream and scream and scream inside.
Nothin ever works, nothin ever will again
until I learn to learn my lesson.
Won't you hold me tighter, cant you hold me tighter men?
This fire burnin between my eyes delights me, til i cant stand anymore.
This fire burnin between my thighs rewrites me,
til I'm obliged as a whore.
Oh man oh man, oh men oh men. You cannot claim me,
though i wish one could.
Oh God oh God Oh God. Can someone train be to see as I should.
I will be my best self for you and all your friends.
I will out my best foot forward for you and yours to condemn.
Nothin ever works, nothin ever will again until I learn to learn my lesson. Won't you hold me tighter, can't you hold me tighter men?
This fire burnin up and down my spine delights me
til i cant bend anymore.
Oh me, oh my my my mistakes. Rewrite me,
rewrite me down to my core.
I will be my best self for you and your fake friends.
I will sing a song dedicated to how well we all pretend.
Nothin ever works, nothin ever will again until i learn to learn my lesson. Won't you hold me tighter? Cant you hold me tighter men?

Providence
04:32
|
|||
|
We poison our bodies, we poison the Earth.
Poison our souls what ever they're worth.
A thousand smiles a day is what the good pills prescribe.
I'd drink myself away if I wasn't afraid to die.
Lets make it all a game where the winner takes most.
The loser walks away with brevity jammed down their throat.
It's best if I believe that you didn't care
all those times i practiced my restrain.
So any time I let myself believe that you approve,l
it's providence declaring that it all will be ok.
A.W- "And so in the same way you find that the watching self or the observing self, behind all our thoughts and feelings, is itself a thought".
I hardly believe it myself, cuz I hardly believe in myself
I hardly believe it myself, cuz i hardly believe in myself.
Burn you money burn your car just to see how far you get.
Save your day dreams for the road you'll surprise yourself, I bet.
Put our faith in our own fabrications.
It's just so crazy that it just might work.
Oh to revel in a self made conjecture.
You could grow your home in your own back yard.
But I can't see it if i look too hard.
A.W- "So that you are, as it were, no longer carried away by your own stream of consciousnesses. You remain the witness, impassively, impartially, suspending judgment and watching it all go on."
I've given up choice I've given up class,
give not a care at all when I crave to be crass.
But God it wears me down yes it always claims it's toll.
Before my back gives out, providence makes itself known.
Its not challenging to process vibrations in our heads.
The ones that tell us no to look both ways.
For that we must rely on the external common sense.
The ones that help remind us that were traveling through space
A.W.- " Well this is crazy. It isn't the trap your caught in , it's you.
You are an aperture through which the universe looks at itself."
I can hardly believe it myself, cuz i hardly believe in myself.
I hardly believe it myself, cuz I hardly believe in myself.

Sh*t Talk
03:00

I finally put my foot in my mouth so deep,
I don't ever think it will come out.
I better learn to trot along without speaking.
Will I ever learn to watch my mouth?
I've said a lot of things in this life of mine, can't even count the words. Prefer the sticks and stones that break the bones
instead of tactlessly conveying.
I finally put my foot in my mouth so deep.
Hope I learn to reap just what I sew.
Been talkin shit that finally caught up with me
Sit reluctantly to eat my crow.
The toughest parts that guilt is whats making me
feel remorsefully for what I've said.
Maybe if we were face to face id show more sincerity,
but that's just maybe, won't let the notion get to my head.
I would be lyin if I said i didn't find you Prickly.
See gettin caught was my most concerning regret.
I guess the point of this whole songs that I'm no better than the me I thought that i could be
And I'm sorry i was self righteous with propensity to be quite spineless and I've learned that in certain situations I should keep my mouth shut.

Going West
05:10
|

The calling of the quiet.
The calling of the quiet.
Making sense of it, with no meaning
The falling of the water.
The falling of the water.
Double vision burned so deeply.
The falling of the water.
The falling of the water.
Making love again. Breaking through the self.
The falling of the quiet,
The falling of the quiet.
Going west, going west.
Going west, going west.
To define, to define.
To define, to define.
Going further than ever. This time further than ever before.
Does one dare to determine?
Does one dare to replace whats been known? Whats been known?
Take your rest, take your rest.
Take your rest take your rest.
Won't return til I find it. Won't return without somethin for you.
Does one dare to determine how it could be.. you soon will see.
Take up time, take up time.
Ill be fine, take your time.
One must mend lest one stumble.
One must mend before one may join me.
Does one dare to determine how it could be?
You soon will see..

It Changes

It's all just a silly blur in it's own turn.
I can hardly bring myself to not think of it.
I go out to see a show or someone I know.
And all the while, I'm scared.
Maybe some day we'll speak without words. Is it possible?
See, we're doin it all the time. Just less visible.
Walkin down the street, a man comes to greet you.
Smilin gladly back, you nod.
As you turn to leave, the smile doesn't fade as fast as it could.
You notice this more than you should.
The cloudiest of days are often the most exhausting
The sunniest of days are the ones that make me want to rest.
And I could've sworn that i loved you so deeply.
But time has this thing, this tendency, it changes.
Maybe someday we'll all change... or we won't.
Maybe someday we'll all change... or we won't.
Maybe someday we'll all change... or we won't.
Maybe someday we'll all change... or we won't...

Strung Up High
04:03

Strung up high, tangled kite disguise.
If I could leave, ya know, I'd bring you my tail before I go.
I'm strung up tight, each day and night.
How can my love for soaring conflict so horridly with my hatred for the wind?
Time again, it's almost like the Earths on a tilted spin.
Keep me near while my mind is clear.
If I help pay your dues, share with me all your sacred blues.
Just leave me here. Let me bleed my dear.
Maybe I'll die and once i am gone, you'll see that you have left your physical self just like me. Could it be?
It's almost like the Earths losing gravity..

I couldn't make myself get up again.
It was like the 3rd time this week, its quite the sin.
It's like every time I try to force myself to do whats right, there's a little voice in the back of my mind sayin "No need to fight".
Its getting louder
Do you remember that time you asked me if I was alright?
I said " silly boy, no need to pry into my private life".
That's the reaction of someone who's guarded, not self contained.
But in my opinion, it was you not me who couldn't run away
Its getting harder.
I was once afraid of your affection, now I can see that was a projection.
I was once afraid of my reflection, now I really like my own attention.
I'm getting vainer..
