My first goof around with FACGCE tuning
on the outside again
all the papers say it's so
close your eyes, count to ten
open up, the numbers grow
nowhere to go
they won't stop
til it all sounds the same
they'll keep on
til they understand your brain
they know what it takes to make you
whip out that credit card and
pony up the cash for that
same old kitschy trash
feed the beast, they got us down
to algorithmic ATMs
take a last look around
before they bury all the gems
don't bow to them
they won't stop
til it all sounds the same
they'll keep on
til they understand your brain
they know what it takes to make you
whip out that credit card and
pony up the cash for that
same old kitschy trash
in his hidden lair
he's got nothin to prove
in his hidden lair
he's got nothin left to lose
ozone
we took a bite out of you
spew your poison gases
leak them into the air
it's only all our asses
why should you even care
ozone
we took a bite out of you
when we're all lightheaded and dizzy
they'll be the ones lyin in the shade
they can try to keep us busy
we can try to make them pay
honestly idk what I've done
open up the door
turn your handle to the floor
crystallized, frozen shut
nothing there to pull you up
remember something that you saw
once
pull out that hairpin
so you can begin
to fight for your freedom one last time
before the call comes in from the other line
sink or swim
i play to win
this game I find myself playin
over time, I feel the grind
I feel the warmth
I feel the air
I feel the wind blowing through my hair
and yet it burns me to the core
on the sidewalks, in the road
fuckin everywhere I go
the sneers, the comments pouring out
make me scream, make me shout
but you won't take this piece of me
tear me down, or make me weep
I know it's more than you can handle
when I wear my socks with sandals
something a little different today :]
all synth and string parts played live (synth is behringer model D, strings are redtron mellotron VST)
don't think I ever learned how to mix synthy stuff in my chiptune days...
I hear your voice
coming in from the outside
muffled by
six feet of eternity
I've been locked inside this
box as long as I don't know when
guess I'll keep calling for
someone to come dig me out
can't stand to be on my own
somebody please come and take me home
I'm on the outside looking in
I couldn't explain, don't know where to begin
how did I get here? I don't know
I'm way too young to end up a ghost
come dig me out
come dig me out
please dig me out
come dig me out
are you a beacon of hope?
are you an omen of destruction?
something tells me by the time
I get a clue, I might be fryin
on a cloudless darkened day
I'll watch the sun give the earth away
burning rocks falling from the sky
all the birds forget how to fly
and the lakes and the riversides
run as barren as the oceans dry
and a million glowing moons
hum a solemn sunken mourning tune
we will not forget you
we will not forget you
though we hardly knew you
we will not forget you
I'm sick of the cuts on my fingertips
don't know what I'm s'posed to get out of this
what am I meant to do now?
gotta find a way to dull the pain somehow
I'm searching but I can't find
no evidence, no question line
I'd kill for a breakthrough
something honest, something true
I'm scooping up DUST witht he oars of my canoe
and burying the lead
search me I've got nothing
search me I've got nothing
investigation's off the rails
you poured dry ice upon the trails
there's nothing
search me I've got nothing. the case is
shattered beyond all recognition
I'm stopping now, ending transmission
there's nothing
I swear to god there's nothing
every night
every morning
I see you there on the floor
would it be too much to ask of you
would it be over the line?
would it be so preposterous
to ask you to spend
(the whole night with your body wrapped in mine)
to ask you to spend
(eternity with your heartstrings tied to mine)
to ask you to spend
(a moment or two with our hands and legs entwined)
to ask you to spend the night
with you and me together
a solemn meditation for those affected by the devastation of hurricane ian
toss me out
I won't be coming back
when seasons change
I will remain the same
the subtle summer breeze
won't put a bend in my knees
when green turns to autumn red
I'll stay asleep in my bed
I'm not your boomerang
can't throw me away
expect me to come
circling back
after all
the years of attack
as the current
rises freely
no resistance
underneath me
falling, sinking
through the wire
raging, burning
feed the fire
interlude
endless circuit runs
fortune favors none
damage can't be found
broken path to ground
felt like an instrumental kinda day
there must've been something in my eye
a smudge on my glasses making it hard to see
I'm not typically this kind of guy
please don't think any less of me
out of the dark, out of the mine
into my mind
I won't blink, I won't close my eyes
the second time
no lies, no libel
no slander
all I want
is a proper gander
I really, really care, I really really wanna see
what it is you're trying to show me
you didn't have to
I know that it's true
I'm not quite as good as you
but I knew the basics
enough to get me through
I know it was you
who told the big cheese
about my lack of experience
with excel spreadsheets
sayonara sammy
I'll see you in Miami
at the office team building getaway
I'm filled with mixed emotions
you got me this demotion
and relocation
to the 5th floor
no bathroom no water fountain
5th floor's got me always poutin'
I could've looked it up on YouTube
now my career is TooDoomed
alternate title: growing up as a cis straight white man in the USA
it doesn't seem fair
to be breathing the same air
an open window
bars on the door
I don't know who's counting
but they fucked up
I've spend hours doubting
just sipping my cup
in the end, I'll burn
my eyes
from staring at the sky
I know I don't
deserve this life
I've had it easier
than most
and I know that's wrong
sleepyboysunday
something stirring
in the world today
endless worrying
about running out of things to say
ideas falling out of your head
replaced with memories
of things you wish you'd said
can't escape this feeling
seize the day
grab it while it floats within your reach
seize the day
forget the thing they say about the earth belonging to the meek
seize the day
a song about going for a walk in the desert after your pet poodle has died and hallucinating a snake wearing high heel shoes
left my sneakers in the van
next to my coca-cola can
ten miles out I'm feeling faint
shut the windows peel the paint
I'd be feeling okay
on any other day
there's a snake in high heels
hope he knows how I feel
a song about robots
big dreams
of living in the city
feeling that crimson glow
a life of celebrity
but did you know
that there's nobody
left who does it right
and those names
you see up in lights
have never seen the flash of the camera
never caught a glimpse of their reflection in the lens
hold a candle up to next to no one,
hey, I guess it takes one to know one
takes one to know one
small steps
the calculated crossing of every line
the low hum
of mechanisms whirring in perfect time
honest thoughts
honest feelings
as foreign as Jupiter
metal hearts
pulsing data
through the wires in their brains
they've never seen the flash of the camera
never caught a glimpse of their reflection in the lens
hold a candle up to next to no one,
hey, I guess it takes one to know one
takes one to know one
shades of green and mediocrity
never heard of reciprocity
her purple mountains majesty
fade to blue
and I'll never see ano-other autumn
the way I used to-oo
when I was making my way to the bottom
I thought I saw hue
yellow, good bye orange sunrise
red brick buildings, golden french fries
Dark Side of the Moon, hey, remember that tune
Any Colour You Like?
and I'll never see ano-other autumn
the way I used to-oo
when I was making my way to the bottom
I thought I saw hue
first track in our new house in the mountains 8^)
don't apologize and don't be afraid
maybe someone else can clean the mess that
you made
you're acting so surprised, but there's
nothing wrong
by now I'm sure you've realized I knew it all along
gift monkey poop
but that's okay
this is the most beautiful green thing I've ever seen
I've been so many places
ain't been dealt too many aces
everywhere I go it seems
I shatter more than just my dreams
you may find it rather funny
you might think it's rather sad
this life i live
sounds like a joke written
by my dad
oh, the fractures
in the radius
and the humerus
in the toys r us
DOCTOR
when I'm feeling low
I go to the highlands
there's nobody else
save all the sheep
got nothing to prove
I sit in the silence
mist billowing round
all over me
under my feet
the grass is so green
I cannot remember
the reason I left
the birds and the trees
for smoke and embers
can it be
my soul itself
lies broken
in shattered pieces
amongst these hills
how does one mix a tune
WRINKLY
misunderstood
is all you'll ever be
fearful people
think that you're their enemy
try to light a smoke
you got em runnin wild
they think you're gonna eat em
when you give a friendly smile
(change)
every day is a hurdle
when you're a fire breathing turtle
I don't know how I can help
I don't think I can change their minds
but you're still a friend of mine
I'm a cute little spider and I don't give a damn
wbat you think of me, cuz i got a plaaaaaan
I've had enough of people trying to kill me
I've had my fill of always missing the movie
gonna leave this place and I'm never coming back
don't try to find me
forget my face, my name, my number (and just know)
I did my best to keep you safe, to keep you warm (was it enough?)
but don't try to find me
guitar solo
the gears in my head keep on turning
while i'm yearning
for you
the space in my bed keeps on growing
the tears are flowin
it's the truth
and my eyes
burn
red
for now
and it seems
so
dreadful now
til the batteries in my clocks run out
can't you see I don't wanna take your hand?
I'm on my own path, I go my own way
and there's nothing you can say
I'm sorry girl but, it's better off this way
I really hate to say no
but it's the way it must go
I'm losing my mind
because you really seem fine
it could be now's not the time
why does this feel like a crime?
muddy water clouding up my eyes
booming thunder crackles through the skies
I'm on my own now, I'm all alone, see
this is just how life has to be
let the rain pour, and wash the fear off me
walking through this future town
look to the sky, it's falling down
what am I supposed to do?
guess I'll have a beer with you
why is this happening to us?
I wish it wasn't...happening to us
a spOOooooOooOky breakdown that I didn't mean to play
this is what's happening now
here's the chorus:
future town
why did you have to go?
why'd you have to blow me away?
future town
why did that moon have to come down and make us all dead today
future town
what the hell is going on?
I don't know
maybe tomorrow
there'll be another fuckin boatload of fuckin snow
sitting at the bar with my friend
wondring if the world will end
I'm pretty sure that it will
guess i won't have to pay my bill
etc etc
know what you will find
when you're driving round the world
in your space car looking fine
and in space, you can't remember
all the troubles that you had
with your dead end job, your cheating wife
and that ugly guy named vlad, OH!
out in space, you are free
to live the way you feel like living
and you will never know
all the hurt that you knew back on earth
when in space, the only
worry that you have
is that asteroid coming near
should've held off on that 17th beer...
collision course for
eros 433
don't forget me

and you're feelin kinda bored
hop on your bike and go, go, go
down to the local store
walk inside, check out the produce
man, they've got it all
grab what you want, but there's one thing that we're after
get a big ass pineapple
pedal home,
soon you'll be in the zone
walk into your room
bring your groceries
grab that bottle of lube
don't let grandma see
lube up your pineapple
or don't if you prefer
drop your pants and your clothes to the grooooound!
and put that thing in your butt
ouch ouch ouch
let the power of the painapple
heal your sorrows, and wash away your sadness
it only costs $2.75 a pound to have your worries and your cares
melt awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
I sampled my cereal bowl for the dings
breathing smoke from human cigars
i'm sure they'd rather be on mars
shunned, sickly, kicked out of the way
there used to be much better days (than this)
little creatures just want to play
these rats so misunderstood
shuffling through your neighborhood
trying to survive on what little they have
these rats are doing their best
searching for a comfortable nest
they mean us no harm, just leave them alone
palabras:
I take my pills all the time
I take my pills and I feel fine
I can't go out
I don't wanna stay in
My pills help me learn how to live
feel the weight compress your soul
can't escape nowhere to run
we are servants of the sun
when you're weak you will soon fall
your heartbeat slows to a crawl
in your head you know you're through
gravity will finish you
and it's all right
by me
is it so hard
to see
done in ~one hour
take it to the edge
going to the end of the line
the end of time
take it to the edge
do it for the glory,
the thrill, the kill the story
turned inside out
by the speed of the chase
you erase your past with a blast (boom)
take it to the edge
while you can. what's the plan?
who cares, just go!
let me stop you right there
this is my life
my tale
sit down in your chair
I'm a stud
I'm a player
but not like tiger woods
I've been up, down, left, right
and IN THE HOOD
I don't mean to be a bragger
don't mean to boast
but when I come up in the room
ladies love me the most
I'm not your average joe
sure I know how to rock
cuz look out world
I'm Young MC's sock
(you want it, etc)
do I miss my home?
sometimes, sure, I guess
but that dude's feet stank
had me under arrest
Now I'm free to roam
explore my inner sole
plus, I love to see em dancing up
on that pole
look out
look in
to the animal within
I'm 15% concentrated power of cotton
though I'm just a little sock
*realize I forgot to write the rest*
Friends gathered all

And people bringing me down

I thought I'd never find a reason, a home

A room filled with teachers

and their students, each other
C G F Fm
Writing songs about the moon and the sun
C G C C7
All together just for fun
~CHORUS~
I dumped my girl, she stole my truck
I got too drunk cuz I don't give a fuck about her
I hugged my dog because he is still here
oh wait jk, he is no longer here
i ran away from my troubles and doubts
they found me later and so did a cow and a bull
underneath them all, I was crushed by the pressure
I wrote a song then I threw it out
I drew a picture and I threw that out as weeelll
I can't create, but there's one thing I can do
I play one mean kazoo
I don't have another verse in me
I think I'll go climb up a tree
actually that is something I won't do
I'll just keep hummin into my kazoo
lyrics:
can't grow a mustache
mustache
I can't grow a mustache ( :( )
no no, no no nooooo
can't grow a mustache aaat allllll
(no no)
but it's okaaaayyyy
it haunts your dreams, fills your heart with fright
can't watch out it's already too late
your fine head's on cthulhu's plate
got a spoon, got a fork and a knife
his seasoning will end your life
salad bowl full of your entrails
chef cthulhu never fails
it's time for dinner!
cthulhu dinner!
time to feast, he's gonna eat you alive!
