Oh Well

You awake?
I know it's late, but I've been shaken
How was your break?
Mine was great and godforsaken
Alive another day, write another nightmarescape
You never could relate
'Cause I'm the King of Outer Space and I'm sick of being mistaken
LOL
You're not even good enough for hell
Oh well
Go and write a song about your selfish self
Toss another baby in the well
Oh well
You're not even good enough for hell
Did you sink?
I know it's bleak, but I've been dreaming
Fell in the drink?
You might have missed it due to blinking
Wow!
All these tragedies are hilariously mean
Depends, who's speaking please?
It's just a shame you'll never get me or this HDPTSD
LOL
You're not even good enough for hell
Oh well
This time you're divided by your selfish self
Lost the words for vanquishing the spell?
Oh well
You're not even good enough for hell
Beaten by he with two hockey sticks
Penalty box for checking
This is my work and it's never done
So open the earth, 'cause here comes the sun
Oh, forget it
LOL
You're not even good enough for hell
Oh well
Really want the job, then sell your selfish self
They won't even buy your soul on sale
Oh well
P.S. You're not good enough for hell

Knife Painting

Let me be clear before we begin
I'm sitting on a ton of ammunition
And I don't wanna have to say this again
You're the lizard in this inquisition
Was it a dream, or were you really stealing something?
You only needed, like a thousand yards of nothing
No, you can't visit 'cause there's nobody home
There's two unlisted numbers though on this burner phone
So take your pick, revenge or medicine?
Slice it how you like
But isn't that the story you've been painting with a knife
For half your life?
Cross your heart and hope you die tonight
Isn't that the story of your life?
I slit the sheet, the sheet I slit
Upon the slitted sheet I sit
They never hear you when you're slithering in
You gotta hiss to let the sunshine in
Eye contact damage
You have earned your evil glances
You only wasted, like a million second chances
You're gonna see me next time both eyes are closed
I got more encrypted numbers left in this book of notes
As this sick sick sickness takes a hold of me
Like to see you try
Boy, isn't that the story you've been painting with a knife
For half your life?
Dot your i's and cross your t's just right
You just brought a pen to this gunfight
Is that not the story of your life?

Hey! You in this menacing game of tennis?
Have you been witnessing this endless death?
Hey! You with it? Are you a cynic?
Ever feel like you're a visitor from Planet X?
Hey! Remember to write your will
'Cause something bad could like, maybe happen
Say, Saturday or something
Hey! Don't sweat
If you don't want the world to get it
Accept, don't regret it
Burn the whole place down
So they rezoned your childhood home?
Go bulldoze it on your own
I got people to see, and they got places to go
Out with the old
So I got more stoned than you've ever known
And I started a cult, then I joined it alone
I got people to meet, and they got houses to show
Turn up the cold
Out with the old
Hey! Are you a contender or pretender?
Repeat offender you just met the net
Hey! I get it, you lost the set and jetted
At best you're a well tested silhouette
Hey! You're gutted, somebody get a medic
No longer resting till demands are met
Hey! You're wretched, they won't let you forget it
At least you're the best at burning bridges yet
So you're alone in the Twilight Zone?
Start a fire to match your own
You got people to meet, then oh the places you'll go!
Out with the old
Hey! I got way droned and you never phoned
So I started a gang and I went in alone
I got people to beat and they got someone to stone
Turn up the cold
Out with the old
Out with the old
Out with the old
Out with the old

Just how much pain can you take?
And how many hearts can you break?
You cast a curse, and I got the part
There's no point in framing this art
How many times can you wake?
And how many snakes have you raked?
I found the cure and then blew it apart
So what did you ruin for art?
Smoke two packs a day?
You're just wasting my time
Go find a new hobby to start
Got diseased killer bees kept up each of my sleeves
And bleed sensory overload art
How many bones did you break?
And how many stitches it take?
I cut a deal and then threw in my heart
So what did you part with for art?
How many men can't you save?
And how many sheep have you shaved?
You'll get what's coming
You're gonna feel smart
So what will you destroy for art?
I think it's just great that you thought you could skate
But trust me, you're gonna see stars
At your resting place waits this ace basketcase
So what did you trade for your art?

Just blink twice if there's something that you can't tell me
You seem nice, so I should fly before you bat an eye
Otherwise, you'll just be the next one to get iced
And I like you too much to try
Don't wanna prove to you I'm right
You're half a blink away from a monsterous mistake
The heartless ones are numb
So what else did you think would happen?
My stomach turned today when you did your little play
Wow! You must think I'm dumb
You almost got this vampire in the sun
Don't think twice
On repeat and never leaving
Paralyzed
I didn't even mean to meet your eyes
Hypnotized
You're never gonna see through my disguise
And I like you too much to pry
Just might be more than meets the eye
You're just one klick away from disasterous earthquakes
And I know that sounds like fun
But what else do you think could happen?
The butterflies I raise start massive tidal waves that cannot be undone
You almost got this vampire in the sun
You're just a kiss away from a critical heartbreak in front of everyone
What else do you think would happen?
And I can give you this, but I'd rather be missed
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You almost got this vampire in the sun

Broken Gauge
03:58

This hell on earth is turning hyperbolas inside of my skull
It penetrates the sorrow that I bleed
Am I still bleeding?
Now I haunt the apparitions and make exquisite decisions
I'm responsible for something truly ugly
I am nothing
Can you feel the danger looming?
'Cause I'm on my way
And if it can end in ruin, I will find a way
I was lost until I found the depths of outer space
Now you're never gonna read this broken gauge
So you can light the fire, cause I'm on my way
When your lips start turning purple, then I did okay
And man if you're unhappy with me now, just wait
I got a special gift for those who broke the gauge
I made the earth collapse and took relief in all the sinking
I'm never looking back
Sadly, catastrophes are fleeting
All wrong, I wrote the song
Just sing along to meet the meaning
I got my vision back and let the daggers break my glasses
So start filling out the name tag, cause I'm on my way
And I know I'm uninvited, but I'll find a way
If you need a minor nudge, it's in an ocean grave
But you're never gonna read this broken gauge
My eyes are static, head-on traffic, and I'm on my way
And if it looks like I died trying, then I did okay
This is my fate
This is the rusty bed of nails I made
Now I pace and wait for those who broke the gauge
There's no more gauge in my brain
I don't believe in yesterday
I get the final say
And these sentences can't be lifted
There's no more gauge in my brain
In my place; I lay in wait
I get the final say
And these sentences can't be lifted
There's no more gauge in my brain
Just a slate of ugly names
I get the final say
And these sentences can't be lifted

I dusted off the sun bleached rectangular box that you once thought so much of
I set it up
This competition is tough, but you're the one who sees my thoughts
I don't explain
You've gotta tell and it's lame, and I'm the rain that keeps adding up
Never enough, I'm never gonna let up
I'm sneaking up to fix another game
I only let you think you won
I thought it best for everyone
I smirked when you red pegged C-4
Before I flipped the board
I took a dive, I took a dive
Hey! Now you're on the other side
And you don't get to ask me why
I took a dive, I took a dive
I took a dive, I took a dive
I'll take a hamburger and fries
I'll take another loss in stride
I took a dive
Now dive, dive, dive, dive for me
You didn't know exactly where I would go even though I telegraphed it
I gotta laugh, and a strike anywhere match
Oh, the catch is adorable
You better pray when you're alone in my maze
The wind just raised to a howling downpour
And now the floor is beneath you no more
Behold the gore the sea just washed away
I'll show you how to do a trick
You'll never lose at battleship
Just look them dead between the eyes and say
My sub is on F5
I took a dive, I took a dive
You won an agonizing prize
I got a submarine to drive
I took a dive, I took a dive
I took a dive, I took a dive
This artifice, i.e. device, is set to hollow out your eyes
I took a dive
Now dive, dive, dive, dive for me
Hey!
Dive, dive, dive, dive for me
Dive for me

The King Who Rained
04:07

I stole the blueprints that I needed for the ark I'm building
Are you coming? Have you noticed the deluge alluding?
It's been sleeting every evening, storming every morn
It's not like you weren't warned
But I'm the grocer with oceans in store
Five thousand four hundred and seventy eight days
The sky's been graying in an unusual way
You could never navigate the havoc I sustain
Five thousand four hundred seventy eight days of rain
There's no room in this shelter, only cats and dogs
Are you hurt? Are you worthy? Are you a human log?
Are you an angel ensconced in a velvet smog?
Oh, you're the underdog?
Try singing in the throat of a frog
For five thousand four hundred seventy eight days
Can't hold a candle to the levees I have raised
How will you pass the time once you pass away?
Five thousand four hundred seventy eight days of rain
You and I were Frankensteins feasting on each other's minds
I'd kill to have you here with me and hug me till I cannot breathe
But you can't stop the whirl, and I can't save a squirrel
Welcome to my grave new water world
Five thousand four hundred and seventy eight days
And still can't fathom the decision that you made
Fifteen years of waiting now for you to say my name
Five thousand four hundred seventy nine days of rain

Seasick Foam Green

Oh, you're lucky
I envy you
This guy is byzantine
Might you be seasick foam green too?
Like John Hurt and torture?
Fighting for the final pumpkin in a patch of daffodils
Can you take the bruises and all the blood that's spilled?
I love nothing
I don't believe in anything
Just nothing
That's all I need is nothing
I hug nothing
I really don't want anything
Just nothing
And I know nothing loves me
Do you have eyes my color too?
Like oceans vortexing?
Is there light in your forest, dude?
Or is it past midnight?
Struggling to fight the fire
Died running a yellow light
It's tragic and ironic
Can't paint to save my life
But I love nothing
I don't believe in anything
Just nothing
That's all I need is nothing
I hug nothing
I really don't want anything
Just nothing
And I know nothing loves me
If you think you're bright, then come and take my knight
You ready for a fight?
'Cause from a store of oranges I can lift a lemon and a lime
Blueberries and violets, screaming!
You're the side that's white
And I'm just fright night, right?
These ruby slippers might
Just explode the sun and carry killer bees that sick on sight
It's evergreen
But nothing's ever what it seems
Guess you showed me
Let the choir sing
I love nothing
I don't believe in anything
Just nothing
That's all I need is nothing
I hug nothing
I really don't want anything
Just nothing
And I know nothing loves me

Overboard
04:27

You fell in slime
It's time to dry those kaleidoscope eyes
And tease the guy who's got checkers to eat
Synchronize, see the carpenter and meet the spy to beat
Ever wonder what it all means?
Are you sleeping?
Are you cataleptic, Annie?
Is your life like death, but your dreams snow confetti?
If you had amnesia, bet you wouldn't know
Anti-Immaculata?
Did you miss the boat?
Is this synesthesia, or your Stockholm chateau?
Are you overboard or under the rainbow?
So here's the line
You're a fly in this spider's web of lies
Who seized the human being you used to be
Mesmerized, it seems like these old clothes aren't fitting right
You're fleeced, my beautiful buh, buh, black sheep
Are you weeping?
Haven't you been sweeping, Annie?
Doctor Death said it best through the teeth of Pee Wee
If you had amnesia, would you want to know?
What if you were happy instead of miserable?
Shipwreck with the synthoids, or there's no place like home?
Are you overboard or under the rainbow?
This limousine sparks wisps of memories
But it's clear that you don't belong here
Back in your bed, you still feel dead, stuck in your head
What the butler said
Memories creeping?
Feeling epiphanic, Annie?
Is this necklace just macaroni, or magic?
If you lost amnesia, do you think you'd grow?
Would you trade your riches for the wonders of the world?
Is it, Chromesthesia?
You may never know
Are you overboard or under the rainbow?
