Vapid Centuries 04:31
lyrics

An aberration in a clearing Deafening the woes Externally great Internally as well Disgustingly beautiful I’ve got a coin That I wish to sell Never a reminder Of what’s to come A conversion sounds appealing Shortening the prose Swear to devour And instigate as well Disgustingly beautiful I’ve got a mind break That I wish to quell Always a reminder Of what’s been done Outro: It’s all foam and a violent sea The way I live and the things that I’ll be But it’s fine cause I’m buyin’ more time The threat is present, yet I’m still on the crime A fires starter, and I’m climbing a tree You look so small from here, HEY look at me! And I’ll climb ‘till I run out of time The gag is killer, it’s the end of the line

A Thug Like Billy 05:31
lyrics

First thing in the morning honey I beg the gods to leave me alone Nicotine and a hat from Billy Don’t mind the mess Though I need to get stoned Fresh dreams like a high school lady A bag of dirt and cheap cologne (OH OH) No food for a thug like Billy Always a mess And I don’t wanna phone home And I don’t wanna phone home (x8) Have you ever seen a shotgun bunny? It’s all the same, if you choke on the bone Amphetamines and a lust for glory There’s no place for me I won’t die alone (OH OH) Fresh dreams of a high school lady A bunch of paper and books about Rome (OHOH) No lessons for a kid like Billy A very smart boy And I don’t wanna phone home And I don’t wanna phone home (x8)

Well don’t you know me? I’m nobody’s fool, But I’m see-through Yes, I’m see-through Please don’t ignore me I want you to drool When you see me Pretend that I don’t see you The king on his high horse, Offered a ride I promised him your head, Refusal I tried to

Floating on a Sea of Wishfulness 04:47
lyrics

I don't wanna be that guy I don't wanna be your friend I don't wanna listen to your problems Let's grow our minds out And then we'll do it again Let's blow our brains out And then we'll do it again I just wanna keep my liver I just wanna taste the shiver Those flowers never grew for me I was blessed with the power baby And then I fled the scene Responsibilites unknown to me I just wanna fly a kite I just wanna be allright I don't wanna think about my problems Let's dig our souls out And then we'll do it again Let's bust our wits out And then we'll do it again I just wanna tell you stories I just wanna wear old shoes Those things were always dear to me I was blessed with the power baby And then I fled the scene Responsibilites unknowns to me Come and check this world out Come and check that shirt out Come and see me as I go As I slowly fade out Can I check that bird out? Do you know what I mean? Come and see me as I go As I slowly Fade out

Oh mister Bohem Why don’t you write us a poem? Just let your colors shine Forever dine wine Daddy gives you money You don’t mind I see you passin’ by I’m high all the time You call me lazy We’ll maybe you’re right But I am the “time” That pistol whips you in line Glue, rust and daisies My people drown behind Eyeballs light the sky Look at me now

A direction is maybe? So I was told The glove box I opened Where is my dough? Kickin’ and screaming It was foretold I govern chimneys and ashes An army of coal Divine Unkind Assign Confine

Mouth waters And then it turns to green Old fart, mind boggled Forever fourteen A very clumsy fellow Bearing a shield Knee high as he shoots In a sea of kerosene Do as you will Unless it doesn't fit the suit That we tailor You can wash it, but It will always stink Like you do I am rubber And you are glue UHU My head is a spill Trying to find another way up Living, pertain again Any given advice Without request Like needle drops Through a window of blame AHA Climb the gutter To get a glimpse of a dream Then you slip even farther Or so does it seem Slow brother When boredom starts to scream Still wearing that suit In a sea of kerosene Do as you will Unless it doesn't fit the suit That we tailor You can wash it, but It will always stink Like you do I am rubber And you are glue UHU My head is a spill Trying to find another way up Living, pertain again Any given advice Without request Like needle drops Through a window of blame AHA Climb the gutter To get a glimpse of a dream

Mortimer Stump 03:45
lyrics
buy track
A man named Danford Balch In the mid 19th Bought a portion of land Portion of land Portion of land It was big land Tried to clear it up But it was big land So he needed a hand Hired a man Hired a man Mortimer Stump Who lived in the cabin With Dan’s family of 10 Family of ten Family of ten Fell in love with the daughter She held his hand He called her Ann He called her Ann She held his hand He was her man When asked for her hand Balch refused To let it go further He threatened with murder They had a different plan A different plan Deeply depressed Deeply upset Lead to heavy drinking Spent the nights thinking About the man And his daughter’s hand

Reasons to Live 03:29
lyrics

My pants caught on fire Ever seeing eye Turn away or die Turn away, but don’t let go I wanna take you home Together be alone Please don’t make me go there Pleasant on decline The stars they won’t align And even though it’s Fine By Me I wanna take you home, Together, be alone A demon here for hire Like hair that sticks to grime I will plague your mind Tridents, and a faraway hole Baby, I explode We are overload Seamstress of the night Like music to your ears Of hundred men a blight You are such a sight to behold Flattening the bold Together, be alone

Softly Gently 02:23
lyrics
buy track
I had a sick horse once Didn’t put him to rest Now I am the worst, And he the best I try to run Can’t seem to hide By thumbs hanging Life takes me for a ride Cowardice, A badge of honor Steadfast into mountain dusk Softly, Gently, I whimpered I cried
