End Times

We’ve been here for hours
watching global superpowers
put on airs on your tv and I’m faded
Well I could beg forgiveness
even though it’s not my business
whether I make you feel free or degraded
whether you can still love me or you’re too jaded
Well, my friends may pity me
but by the end didn’t we have a good time?
These days they’re my enemies
cause hey where were they when we were losing our minds?
Summer's getting hotter
and you’re not conserving water
you just sit and let the shower burn you
I say we’ve got potential
even though we’re inessential
that’s the very thing that should reassure you
As expendables existing is a virtue
And my friends think ill of me
but by the end we’ll all be having a good time
These days I let go of things
cause hey, better apathy than losing our minds
Surviving on a lucky streak
so why make a fucking stink over staying the night?
Yeah maybe I lie and cheat and prey on you
but baby this is end times

It’s a big day
for a little man
crush you up in the palm of my hand
cause I like you
giving you a chance
tell me you’re it, you will, you can
cause I like you
giving you a chance
before I chew you up, kick you out of the band
It’s a late night
and I’m doing headstands
got a brand new crush and a tired old plan
yeah I like you
can I watch you dance?
never know what to do with your hands
but I like you
ooh, yeah I like you
So every night I’ll play
sick little games
just picking names of all the friends
that I will make you jealous with
When I get home I’ll pray
for something to change
or for someone to say the magic words
that’ll heal my hurt and flip the switch
It’s a big pain
for a little kiss
shut you up get it over with quick
cause I’m angry
wanna make you sick
wanna make your head ache and break into bits
but I like you
you’re never gonna quit
picked a bad time to be a man who gives a shit
But what a great night
for an ego slip
for the velvet of self to wrinkle and rip
and I’ll hold you
like a little kid
hoping you don’t grow up and get a grip
That’s how I like you
ooh, how I like you
But you won’t stay that way
So every night I’ll play
sick little games
just picking names of all the friends
that I will make you jealous with
When I get home I’ll pray
for something to change
or for someone to say they know god loves me
even when I’m such a bitch
Tell me he does
Tell me he does
Tell me he does
Yeah it’s true love
Tell me he does
Tell me he does
Yeah it’s true love
Yeah it’s true love

All I see are bodies
All I need’s my body
Only thinking physically
I need a new hobby
My friend texted me last week
She doesn’t feel real to me
Blue little cloud sending
abstract positivity
abstract positivity
I wanna exist outside the light of day
smoking anything
staying the hell out of the way
smoothing the waters of a frozen lake
nothing real at stake
free to rot my brain
Meditate on modesty:
a body’s just a body
a limit for my sanity
Someday I’ll be free to leave it
And all your reassurance has me
itchy with dishonesty
Been lying like my daddy would be
I’ll just kiss you til you’re dead to me
kiss you til you’re dead to me
I wanna exist outside the light of day
smoking anything
staying the hell out of the way
smoothing the waters of a frozen lake
nothing real at stake
free to waste away
I wanna exist outside the light of day
smoking anything
staying the hell out of my own way
smoothing the waters of this frozen lake
nothing real at stake
no more heart to break

Passing
04:40

Caught inside a moment
of wanting to leave you
After all that time spent
just proving I need you
I am unresilient
impassive and mean to you
It scares me too
Could this be what you meant by time
passing like an overnight drive?
I fall asleep staring at a wall
Dream of being anything at all
I refuse to repent
for the lies that I tell you
To a certain extent
someday they’ll all come true
and I am so dependent
pretending I care for you
like I always do
Could this be what you meant by time
passing like an overnight drive?
I fall asleep staring at a wall
Dream of being anything at all
Could this be what you meant by time
passing like an overnight drive?
I fall asleep ignoring your call
Dream of being anything at all

Vitamins

I swallow the days like vitamins
Try to break the malaise with a heavy fist
Find familiar faces in a concrete wall
God gave me poise and a bitterness
Appetite for the noisy and the poisonous
Learned not to avoid it I just feel it all
Am I pretty enough to be an angel yet?
Have I earned the right to be rough around the edges?
If you give me love and all I give you is
weird vibes
I place my trust in the heaviness
Licking up your dust just to be close to it
If it’s this or us you know I’m leaving your side
There’s a genius
hanging quietly in the dark
You can’t see him
but he burns like a dying star
There’s a genius
haunting the attic of my house
If he feels like it
he might burn it all to the ground
There’s a genius
hanging quietly in the dark
You can’t see him
but he cursed me to live apart
There’s a genius
haunting what love I have for you
Didn’t mean it
but his curse is coming true
Is it really my fault I’m not what you thought I would be?
I’m a pillar of salt
don’t look at me

I dream you could kill me but you don’t
I say come to philly but you won’t
You’ll stay where it’s pretty and remote
and leave no spark in me, only smoke
Well I could fuck the pain away
yeah I could do the most
There’s meaning to be made that way
from living dose to dose
Yeah I could love the pain away
gravitate to what I know
But what does that mean anyway?
Play mother for the night and then walk home
I dream in the timbre of your voice
Wake up to the scrambled city noise
While you’re stuck in the amber of your void
I’ll leave us in shambles and destroyed
Yeah I’m gonna fuck the pain away
I’m gonna do the most
There’s meaning to be made that way
from living dose to dose
Yeah I’m gonna love the pain away
gravitate to what I know
But what does that mean anyway?
Play mother for the night and then walk home
How do you enter love?
Where’s the door?
And how do you cut your love
from your core?
Just suck it out of your blood
like a poison
Evaporate your love
Well I just fucked the pain away
yeah I did the most
The meaning of it was lost on me
but baby, so it goes
I tried to love the pain away
There was nothing left to hold
Cause what does that mean anyway?
Play mother for the night and then go home

Heaven in this
seven in the basement
heaven in your last earthly kiss
Heaven in this
heaven and vegas
heaven in having all of it
(When you rise above
this form you didn’t choose
I’ll make angels in the dust
that settles after you
Then ride home on the bus
like normal people do
I’ll be normal without you)
Heaven in this
steadily medicated
heaven in crying yourself sick
Heaven in this
heaven in patience
heaven in nothing left to give
