Grass is Greener
Yes, the grass is greener on my side.
Did you see what he was wearing?
He was asking for it.
It’s not about dying, it’s about getting sick.

Impervious
You’re a bastard for breaking my heart.
I don’t feel a thing, I’m on top of the world.
Fuck Dopamine, I ain’t feeling no pain.
I’m impervious.
Fuck giving out love,
with nothing to gain.
I’m impervious.
Fuck meeting your needs,
you can all come to me.
I’m impervious.

Hello, Hello
Hello, hello, I’m listening, and I’m here.
Hello, hello, I’m listening and I hear
the sound of your tears tracking your temples
as you finally find you’re willing and able
to love.
Hello, hello, I’m listening, and I’m here.
Hello, hello, I’m listening and I hear
the sound of your smile lifting your eyes
as you finally find you’re living your life
for love.
Honoring the dead, welcoming the new
you.

Cross Your Fingers
Cross your fingers and hope to live.
The universe is dropping in, got a sit down meeting next week.
Ready your proposal, prepare your budget total.

Woe to the Cynic
02:30
|

Woe to the Cynic
Woe to the Cynic who has dared to dream again
You are sensitive and your pain is raw skin.
How’d you cut me down in so little time?
I misunderstood your intentions towards mine.

Arise

Arise
One after another they all go by, in my mind.
I gather my steed, my sword and my shield.
Come, come along.
It’ll be so much fun.
Wandering around, in all this grey matter.
Push it aside, push it aside,
don’t let it rise.
Arise.

Do It Twice

Do It Twice
Fuck your mother, fuck your father.
Fuck your leaders, fuck your neighbors.
Do it all. Do it twice.
You swim to the bottom, no one’s in your way.
You write your own story, yeah graffiti your name.
What do you prove?
You swim to the bottom just to prove you can.
You write your own story, yeah you build your own set.
What do you prove?
Tell your mother, tell your father.
Tell your leaders, tell your neighbors.
Tell it all. Tell it twice.

Good for January
You know I want to sleep with you, right?
I’m good for January.
Can I put my moves on you?
My, what delicate nostrils you have.
My, what a beautiful skull you have.
Good for January, I’m good for January.
Tell you what, you and me, drink for drink.
If I win, I sleep with you.
And if you win, you sleep with me.

Straight
I want you straight.
I want you straight from the shower.
No look, no style. All body all mind.
I want you straight.
I want you straight from the bottle.
Don’t gauge my reaction. Don’t prepare the next move.
I want you straight.
I want you straight from the bottle.
Don’t worry, don’t move.

Seeded

Seeded
Somewhere in Arkansas, my anger slipped away,
like the eggs I’ve been passing, every 29 days.
And it feels good.
In a Tennessee ditch I chose to live,
through the holes in my lungs and the cracks in my ribs
and it feels good.
I have worked for all I have and my chances are seeded.
It feels good.
