I Wanna Go
02:48
|
|||
|
let’s go
turn all around
what’s going up is coming down
I feel alright
to fly
I wanna leave this world tonight
alright?
I wanna go
I wanna go
I wanna play that rock and roll
ya know?
I wanna die tonight
I wanna leave this world behind
I’m ready to die alright
i wanna leave this world alone
ya know?
You know.
You know you know.

are you defeated?
'cus you’re just standing there
are you sedated?
are you just standing there?
it took a really long time to find out
as i came across another account
you’re gonna pick it up sideways
ha ha ha ha ha
i got a piece of candy cane
whatever makes you feel the same
i can’t remember where I came from
you better stick around to find out
there’s a whole wide world to write out
ha ha ha ha ha
are you frustrated?
are you a millionaire
let's confiscate it
and take it everywhere
well ya had plenty of time to talk
but ya just need to take a walk
ya better climb back up the mountain
ha ha ha ha ha
you can convince America
i kept a piece of coconut
it took a really long time to find out
and now I’m gonna do a fake out
i wanna take on back New York City state
I’ve had enough to this feedback
you’re gonna have to include that
I'm always waiting to shine through
whenever confidence finds you
you better look in the mirror
to see a little bit clearer
I'm always happy to guide you
but you will have to hide your food
you ate the pizza anyways
you couldn't keep it out of your face
i took a picture of the space where you played upon my misfortune
but i really just died of boredom
ha ha ha ha ha

Retribution
02:24
|
|||
|
don’t be afraid by hurricanes
at least you can admit
for a chance i heard the same repeated compliment
all my feelings feel stupid
I’m not watching at least i can admit
all I'm keeping leads to chance
all i get: retribution
from my brain bleeds pure butane
at least i shed no tears
words that came at least you saved
the best of what you feared
wondering what words can keep the sins i can commit
hurry to the hideout and let everybody in
for a sec i loose reflection leading to my death
correspond to nonchalantly leaving you a mess

Sensitive
03:41
|
|||
|
no use in sitting waiting for the afterlife
you shift and change and wait until you die
I'm concentrating on kicking up my life
before you know it you’re running out of time
you seem more sensitive than sorrow
you’re taking more than you can borrow
you’ll wait until the shape is hollow
you’ll see a change will come tomorrow
I am so sick of searching in the dark
you got to get a bike or drive a car
I think a plane would take me not too far
from someone anybody knowing who you are
you seem more sensitive than sorrow
you’’re taking more than you can borrow
you’ll wait until the shape is hollow
you’ll see a change will come tomorrow
you’ll wait until the gate is narrow
you’ve seen much more than you can handle
you cruise and listen to radio
you only listen in stereo

Familiar
03:48
|
|||
|
This stuff sounds familiar, doesn’t it?
It certainly sounds familiar, doesn’t it?
even if you would fall away i feel as though wrote the word
make something to anticipate everything you thought you heard
about the state familiar traits and be the last thing that would occur
take all the time you need to explain i feel as though you'd cause a stir
even if you would deviate i feel as though you would forget
about the music that came before and saying something you would regret
'cus everyones got a new rendition i haven’t heard it as of yet
give me something familiarizing 'cus rock and rolling isn’t dead

Imagination
02:44
|
|||
|
I took a trip to imagination
i wanna know how far it goes
i a got attune to a new vibration
and now know how to make a show
I wanna know who i really am
I gotta know who i really am
I took a trip to collaboration
because i need some helping hands
you need to turn up the trepidation
and now i know how to make ya dance
I took a trip to imagination
i never knew how much to know
and to ease my bad frustration
i had to take each one home

Big Wig Wagons
03:14
|
|||
|
i can see the truth
you’re standing there
what 'cha gonna do
i know your not
getting a new view
perceptual
nothing is better than being loved
no advantages
i'm taking care
taking off my shoes
i can not induce
a sedative
luckily it feels so real though
how much can you bid on big wig wagons
forbidden to escape tabes of time
everything i state just sticks to static
always out of place my state of mind
half of what you said just feels pathetic
every time i keep a friend in frame
how much can you take to lift the fabric
space thats in between the time it takes
I can play a tune
on benadryle
singing in the nude
betrayal
hop and skip to a few
to the good parts
latency is everything for real though
ultimately fried
abashedly
totally surprised
i spotted it
all over the news
complacent
fuck originality to feel some
nothing left to do but listen
giving your own words i'm thinking
such a thing to trust first instinct
getting on the bus and visit
all the elements from living
in the ornamental vision
carry you away from getting
all the information listed
|
||||
9. |
||||
|
i wanna give you praise for what you have accomplished
and the meadow is the place you’ve completely forgotten
but your semblance of the self is hiding in the water
at the bottom of the well and living with a monster
the California dream is where you left the body
and the value of the screams have just become the oddly
shapes that speak to you at night when nobody is watching
untill the blood runs down the alter and drips into the mouth

Superstar
04:19
|
|||
|
you can have anything that you want
so far its obviously something that you lost
that's not encouraging and still you have a job
I've got some work for you that’s sitting in my car
just let me get back to you
I’m hearing what you said singing two steps ahead
I don’t know what you are but you’re a superstar
you know you never know until you hit the road
i know you’re so unique someone who's in between
you can say anything that you want
that doesn’t mean anything if it’s something you forgot
sent into surgery from fracturing my jaw
and you’ve been sitting there not answering my calls
i can’t say anything
I’ll give you one last chance if you want to dance
ill take you out of this scene that you don’t need to make yeah
all I know the only way is home
and all I make is something out of date yeah

Apple of Mystery
02:24
|
|||
|
Apple of Mystery
I've taken you in
horrified, wondering what I fell in
unbearable heart racing through my whole life
a second time a peaceful night has swept me by
words abound
nothing came out
formless route
following and flowing all out
fell into a fake escape
and ended back in
steps away to celebrate
what life could have been
a boring scene has got me thinking
of painting
a fortifying work
of lightly brushing
shunned and shout
kick them all out
rally now
basically found
up and down
figure it out
lay in down
tell them to turn it up loud
a ticking-time, galvanizing machine

Teardrops
04:22
|
|||
|
enjoying my view
from outside the room
not thinking it’s rude
to talk and pursue
i know it’s not right
to act out of spite
so let me remove
myself from you
why are these teardrops all
falling are us
and why are you fading away
i won’t aggrieve
pack up my stuff and leave
i’m in disbelieve
our lives won’t interweave
changing my tone
better alone
nobody knows
how it could go
why are these teardrops all
falling are us
and why are you fading away
all of these doorways
are closing around me and
why are you turning away
deleting my memory
shutting down sensory
overload adjusting
and leaving the safety of your heart

Roxanne
03:06
|
|||
|
I saw Roxanne in a video
Roxanne is dancing at all the shows
I saw Roxanne is a zebra skirt
I saw Roxanne at the liquor store
Roxanne was always getting more
now she’s taking her dog to work
I saw Roxanne at another rave
Roxanne was marching in the parade
now she’s dating a business man
I help Roxanne with her makeup
I told Roxanne she should breakup
with the guy in the math rock band
SHUT IT OFF
ROXXX NOT SOFT
Roxanne says she’s a medium
she met some ghosts in the stadium
where she saw Aerosmith play with The Goo Goo Dolls
Roxanne is posting on Instagram
posing pretty for all the fans
now she’s getting a sponsorship
Roxanne got hit by a meteor
but said it made her prettier
now she’s living in outer space
Roxanne was seen in Australia
wearing some kind of regalia
where she’s opened another vape store
shut if off
rocks’ not soft
BONUS LYRICS:
I met Roxanne in the liquor store
buying something that she can pour
now she’s falling onto the floor
I heard Roxanne on the radio
saying she did it all for show
and spit and spat on the microphone
I met Roxanne when she moved to New York City
she though everyone there was so pretty
I met Roxanne when she moved to Los Angeles
where she became a televangelists for cannabis

Rock and Roll
Rock and Rock an Roll
Play a show
The only way to go
Rock and Roll
Rock and Rock and Roll
Now ya know
Right into your soul
Yeah
Fly in the room
nothing to do
why waste my time
what’s yours is mine
Well I got myself a vocal track
and i feel that i needs
reverb reverb reverb
i appreciate reality
but i feel you could reach
deeper deeper deeper
well I'm sorry I’ve been busy
but you you can buzz on my
beeper beeper beeper
I know how your feeling for deeper connections
Despite how you're feeling you need deep connections
despite what you're saying you need deep connections
despite what you're doing you need deep connections
despite what you're needing
you're knee deep

Mechanical People
03:12
|
|||
|
nothing ever
turns in perfect
lost an tangled
you stand correct
you can never tell
if you’re underneath a spell
or if you fell
right to the bottom of the well
and if i might
take a chance i would suffice
recommend a time
where i could give you some advice
far below
mechanical
people know
maybe I stay
just ‘till Thursday
I’m out of line
you stay inside
don’t ever ask
‘cus you can never take it back
forget the facts
and just keep following the map
and if you could
make sure its not misunderstood
the likelihood
of you turning bad to good
far below
mechanical
people know
just because
you thought it up
that it was
you know that it was

Disappear
02:50
|
|||
|
WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH
IM GONNA DISAPPEAR
AND I"LL BE GONE FOR A WHILE
IM GOING back to Nebraska
I’m going back to iron lung
going back to Orion
going back to where gnomes are from
I’m going to back to the island
going back to where it's warm
going back to Atlantis
putting back on my uniform
getting off of this planet
sailing over rainbow road
reach an inner dimension
then I’d end up in Idaho
going to back to the power
going back to the uni-source
getting out of the shower
getting this back on the course

Even Deeper Connections
03:10
|
|||
|
fell to resisting a meager religion
i have no forgiveness instead I’m religious
i thought of the comeback at least i would know that
the sands arbitrarily granite and buried
got stabbed with an arrow that was shot by a cross bow
my hands are deserving a minor infusion
look down on the system and see through the sickness
i know how you’re feeling for deeper connections
