In Abercrombie and cowboy boots
You slowed down your new Jeep Wrangler
To call me a queer
I showed you my middle finger
Three percent logos
(Three percent logos)
And Trump Train stickers on your window
(And all them stickers on)
You love rollin' smoke
(Your truck rollin' smoke)
On home to Becky in your subdivision
You love to wear your guns
(You love to wear your guns)
To go buy beer from the gas station
(To go buy beer from the)
And just to be real safe
(Just to be real safe)
Extended magazines of ammunition
Your thin blue line t-shirt
(Your thin blue line t-shirt)
No one can make you put a mask on
(No one can make you do it)
You say it isn't fair
(You say it isn't fair)
I say you're just a fuckin' asshole
God this place sucks...
Should have made my break when I was seventeen
Even then I knew this place would be the death of me
A decade down the road and I've got nothin to show
But a constant dread and a damaged soul
A crisis to avert
(A crisis to avert)
Something I need to get a grasp on
(Go on and fucking do it)
I'm over being scared
(No time for feeling scared)
This ain't a state, this is a fucking blackhole
I'll put the world
In my headlights
I've packed my things
To leave tonight
I could go to Portland, maybe California
Maybe even south of the motherfucking border
I don't know where I should go
But I don't belong in Idaho
And I don't know what distance really makes a difference
To the fucking bullshit, good fucking riddance
I don't know where I should go
But I don't belong in Idaho
Fuck

Love on Kepler-22b

Past lightspeed we travelled
A new world to unravel
Our mission withstanding
No thanks to rocky landings
At times I amused you
Together we would pull through
But then you betrayed me
and it left me so angry
It's oddly disturbing
The thoughts just keep returning
Intentions, while earnest
You destroyed me on purpose
I was made to serve
but my love you are a wolf...
I fear that it's breaking
Our love's depreciating
Not sleeping not waking
Barely articulating
The ways that you make me
Feel like you fucking hate me
I was made to serve
But my love you are a wolf...
Now that I know where you've been going
(What joy you have found when you virtually communed)
Don't you find it a little bit funny, a little bit funny
(Now without me can't you see it's a little bit funny, a little bit funny)
We're hard coded with these emotions and
(What joy you have found when you virtually communed)
don't you find it a little bit funny a little bit funny
(Now without me can't you see it's a little bit funny, a little bit funny)

Break it down again
So those are my dreams
And these are my eyes
Stand tall like a man
Headstrong like a horse
When it's all mixed up
Better break it down
In the world of secrets
In the world of sound
It's in the way you're always hiding from the light
See for yourself, you have been sitting on a time bomb
No revolution, maybe someone somewhere else
Could show you something new about you and your inner song
And all the love and all the love in the world
Won't stop the rain from falling, waste seeping underground
Break it down again
I wanna break it down
So those are my schemes
And these are my plans
Hot tips for the boys
Fresh news from the force
When it's all mixed up
Better break it down
In the world of silence
In the world of sound
"No sleep for dreaming," say the architects of life
Big bouncing babies, bread and butter - can I have a slice?
They make no mention of the beauty of decay
Blue, yellow, pink umbrella save it for a rainy day
And all the love and all the love in the world
Won't stop the rain from falling, waste seeping underground
Break it down again
I want to break it down
Horsing around
Pray to the power, play to the crowd with your big hit sound
And they won't simmer, won't simmer, won't simmer down
Play to the crowd, pay to the crowd
Play, yeah, yeah
It's in the way you're always hiding from the light
Fast off to heaven just like Moses on a motorbike
No revolution, maybe someone somewhere else
Could show you something new to help you
With the ups and downs
I want to break it down

Are You Still There

Closing my eyes I can almost believe
It's nothing more than a bad dream
Stop from pinching myself
In the vain hope I'm still asleep
This empty lonesome reservoir
Echoes a duet as my guitar
Fills the space in my arms
Right next to my heart
Where you used to fit perfectly
Are you still there?
I can't feel you there
Why
Can't I escape the visage of your disappointment?
A stalemate between two loves becomes disjointed
Now every night feels longer than the one before it
And I can't shrug the emptiness of a love discordant
But the vortex took you away from me
On the back of a raven that spread its wings
And cast a shadow on the fox in a field of wheat the color of your hair
And I'd pay any price just to have another hour
For another sunrise from that old water tower
Or the moon in your eyes after a meteor shower
Are you still there?
You're ultraviolet, infrared
An expanded spectrum in my head
You painted my world with a pallet of colors that don't exist
The things you made me think and feel,
I'd stopped believing they were real
You became a chamber of my heart
And I hoped I could be the same for you
But the vortex took you away from me
On the back of a raven that spread its wings
And cast a shadow on the fox in a field of wheat the color of your hair
(Are you still there?)
And I'd pay any price just to have another hour
For another sunrise from that old water tower
Or the moon in your eyes after a meteor shower
Are you still there?
(I can't feel you there)
But the vortex took you away from me
On the back of a raven that spread its wings
And cast a shadow on the fox in a field of wheat the color of your hair
(Are you still there?)
And I'd pay any price just to have another hour
For another sunrise from that old water tower
Or the moon in your eyes after a meteor shower
Are you still there?
(I can't feel you there)
Ultraviolet, infrared
(Are you still there?
Are you still there?)
Ultraviolet, infrared
(I can't feel you there
I can't feel you there...)

How did this become another horror story?
At least you didn't spare on the drama
Talk about a twist that you don't see coming
How did everything get so fucked up?
Maybe I just saw what I wanted to see
I guess that I should find Haley Joel Osment
I could use a Sixth Sense right about now
Maybe I don't even know that I'm dead
No need to mass armies of monsters
One heart can terrorize another
What about the love from when we started?
Another sacrifice to the Elder Gods
My head's spinning faster than Regan MacNeil's
What about a botched exorcism?
How did I miss all the Signs and signals?
It doesn't take a Ripley to see what's wrong
28 Days Late to the world's end
How did I think this would all resolve?
No need to amass armies of monsters...
One heart can terrorize another
I'm at home
Watching movies all alone
Distracting me from memories of
Scenes I wish that I could un-remember
There is no
Jump scare I have found yet though
That stops my heart quite like the slow
Painful ways you found to fuck me over
I'm at home
Watching movies all alone
Distracting me from memories of
Scenes I wish that I could un-remember
There is no
Jump scare I have found yet though
That stops my heart quite like the slow
Painful ways you found to fuck me over
Our summer romance is at an end
Swore this was The Notebook but it's Evil Dead
Toss Naturom Demonto on the fire, please
This chapter's over
Maybe someday we can try again
You play the paper, I can be the pen
We'll plot a story that feels better then
But this chapter's over
Where was my common sense?
Chalked up to ignorance
You left me high and dry
I ate up every lie
If I could hit rewind
I'd head for the treeline
Lose you in the twists and turns
instead of getting burned
But I...
I wake up screaming from all these dreams
Where you're holding a match and standing at my feet
Drenched head to toe in fucking kerosene, saying "nice to know ya"
Maybe someday we can try again
I'll play the paper, you can be the pen
We'll plot a story with a better end than "nice to know ya"
I wake up screaming from all these dreams
Where you're holding a match and standing at my feet
Drenched head to toe in fucking kerosene, saying "nice to know ya"
Maybe someday we can try again
I'll play the paper, you can be the pen
We'll plot a story with a better end than "nice to know ya"

I was all right for awhile
I could smile for awhile
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say, "Hello"
Oh, you wished me well
You couldn't tell
That I'd been
That I'd been
Crying over you
Crying over you
When you said, "So long"
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying
Crying
It's hard to understand
But the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more
Than I did before
But, darling, what can I do?
For you don't love me
And I'll always be
Crying over you
Crying over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying
Crying
Crying, crying
Over you

You were always the moon in my sky
Cold and distant, controlling my tides
Just close enough to make a difference
But careful to keep safely out of reach
You thought you didn't have a dark side
I think you forgot you showed it to me
Were we just another of your endless phases?
Maybe we are both afraid to know
We will meet again
in the blackhole that swallows our past, present and future
We will meet again one last time my friends
(In the blackhole)
What strange stars we will make
(What strange stars we will make
In the blackhole...)
You'll be as beautiful then as you are to me now
