Left on Red 02:48
LEFT ON RED It's going to be sundown right on the eve of your birth. Go West, go down with the Sun to the Earth. So you got tired? Why don't you take the easy way out? Just go ahead... Just blow your brains right out! (Be that Pollack on a smashing white wall) Oh, you tried to tell them, but they never seemed to understand. 'cause what the fuck do they know about holding your Dad's gun to your head? Saw the world in Black and White so go and take that shot maybe do something right. No one is going to see you, so no one is ever going to see you again. 'cause no one here gives a fuck about you. Trepidation/premonition right before your eyes. Trigger finger on the barrel of a .45 So you got tired? Why don't you take the easy way out? After all, everyone has a little chemical imbalance. (Serotonin, where the fuck have you been?) Oh, you tried to tell them, but they never seemed to understand. 'cause what the fuck do they know about holding your Dad's gun to your head? Saw the world in Black and White so go and take that shot maybe do something right. No one is going to see you, so no one is ever going to see you again. 'cause no one here gives a fuck about... (at least they never seemed to give a fuck about...) So I'll give them something to talk about 'cause who the fuck would ever give a fuck about you? but when you're dead, they miss all those things you did. when you're dead, they will miss all those things you did. when you're dead, they miss all those things you did. when you're dead when you're dead when you're dead

WHEN YOU GET THE MESSAGE, HANG UP THE PHONE What's your business? Man, what's your problem? you got solutions, but God, you don't how to solve them. In Mania we become unglued stick me back together tell me what I am supposed to do (to) Shut off Shut off Shut off Shut off me (how do I shut this thing off?) Waxing/waning with the moon "You came off a bit too strong" well, maybe I came about a bit too soon. these social circles, they stretch for miles just don't overstate your welcome whatever you do, don't cramp their style cause she's got a penis and a phone, one's right in my pocket, man, and one I left all home alone. so give me psilocybin or LCD. With proper dosage, I can learn to finally be (and) Shut off Shut off Shut off Shut off me Distorted thinking, yeah it's a ruse in one ear and out the other in conflict with peer review. But rouse that courage up, "stick it to that sticking place." It's an N=1 life, so whatever you do just don't run in place

Cutter 03:13
CUTTER (also called: "BACCHUS THE BUTCHER") come a little bit closer I promise not to bite itchy thoughts of vice and lose tend to keep me up at night oh, this ain't what you wanted? well, what do you expect? it didn't matter if it's arms or ropes constriction always feels a little bit like death. so leave the car running cause it's poisoning time my only tribute to Bacchus I let my blood slowly mix with the... (You are all so impressed by the stupidest shit) (but as long as you're placated, you all just go along with it)

Save Me 02:42
SAVE ME (featuring Jake WoodRuff) Oh please save me from sorrows. Save me today For I may be gone tomorrow It's these flat bottom shoes that no longer fit me anymore So Save Me! Oh please save me from sorrows. Save me today For I'll be gone tomorrow It's these flat-bottom Blues that won't release me so won't you dear?

20/20 02:38
20/20 For Kelley "Don't you think you're spinning out of control?" but everything's so funny but hindsight is always 20/20 Yeah hindsight's always 20/20 I wanna hang with the Queens after dark I wanna write poems and fuck. Run from cops and push my luck I'll think of something as I dream of nothing I wanna leave with a bad reputation show up "late" to my own intervention 'cause being born was never my intention Oh think of something, think something everything will perish as we all do nothing!
6.
Way Out 02:05
WAY OUT When the sun rises up you'll be gasping for air. Throw your arms in the sky and ask God if he cares! "Heard they caught you screaming at work?" so you put that bag around your head now you're beginning to slip now your beginning to slip (maybe you've always been?) So you plotted alone another useless insect. Circling the drain while parading your wings only just to drown in the end. But oh to be the Belle of the Ball and have your work recognized. Some affirmation of love 'cause between the lows and the drugs there has got to be something...something...something to let you know you're alive! but it's all starting to gel what I could never figure out I'm just a face in the crowd just trying to talk a little loud but this bubble is going to burst and you know it's going to hurt as 7 billion people go wandering and starving wondering: "what the fuck? What the fuck did we do to this earth?" Oh we all go down eating plastics for snacks collision course with extinction not prepared for impact but the privileged have dreams that won't stay on the shelf cause in the end the only thing that ever really matters is: yourself
