Self Sufficient

She sprawls across the lawn
A pesticide bed
Ash falls down to her face
From her cigarette
Well the road seeps to the river
We all drink water, hope you're not parched
Says the old man to his daughter
I'm nervous for your life, but it could be worse
We've got a cancer
Under our skin
Since dawn of industry
It's always been
Diggin' landfills to fill with ourselves
On beds of bottles and bricks and nails
We'll be fine, we've made enough to spare
And it's getting worse

Nice Machines

You might not like what's the point of this life
But you wouldn't know
And once you find out
It's your turn to go
So why bother figurin' out
You think you wanna know what this life's about
I don't think you do
You can't forget once you find out
So just concentrate on you
You don't wanna know what the quiet have kept to themselves
You might but you won't and you'd be lying if you thought something else
They say you should carry a stick the size of your voice
But I'd call bullshit cause I found it to be reverse
This world can be so mean
So unkempt and unclean
But I am a nice machine
And you should be just like me
You don't wanna know what the quiet have kept to themselves
You might but you won't, you'd be lying if you thought something else
They say you should carry a stick the size of your voice
But I'd call bullshit cause I found it to be reverse
Oh wait
Can't you tell me in the morning
That's not what you want to hear
But I just might die

Brittle

It's late but you walk around
You swear that if you keep on searching there is something to be found
Up but coming down
It's hard to swallow when you realize you've been chewed up by a town
Cash stash gone too fast
You thought that if you kept on standing that you might've stood a chance
Last call came and went
Lady luck took your last buck so now you can go get spent
Please don't let me die without my dignity
Easy to see why I'm not acting like me

Goodbye Blue

Might be feelin' worthless but don't feel that way
Save your motivation for some brighter days
Goodbye blue
Took his medication like the doctor said
Lost the motivation to sustain his head
Goodbye blue
Now I'm left livin' in this world we live but I can't complain to be alive
At the end of the day it's so easy to say you could die
Tell me were you kiddin' when you had said
Your thoughts were not your thinkin', now those thoughts are dead
Goodbye blue
To tell you what you're missin' well you should have stayed
Should've kept on livin' for those brither days
Goodbye Blue
Now I'm left livin' in this world we live but I can't complain to be alive
At the end of the day it's so easy to say you could die

Mister Garfish

Though they don't see straight his eyes are knives
His beard steel wool, a hornet hive
Breath has a hint of rotten teeth
Wears a moth chewed rob nothing underneath
Who knows
They say he walks at night
That ol' mister garfish lookin' for a friend tonight
Bikes piled high line the bed of a ditch
Underneath the garage of the garfish
Can't prove murder if you can't find the dead
People gone missin' found without their heads
Oh no
There goes the neighborhood
That ol' mister garfish ain't up to no good
All night inside
If you can't run you better f***ing hide alright
They said he walks at night
That ol' mister garfish lookin' for a friend tonight
He don't keep friends too long

Ballad of Budd

They don't know Dwyer, but they say he's a liar
And what they say goes
Because they built this whole empire
'cause money was the matter, some blood had to be splattered
And when the gun smoke cleared several wallets grew much fatter
You should know these old guys you trust running liberty
They've got nothing but false legacies
Even now it's gotten much worse, never was so good
One of them just went and offed himself
Who can you trust these days
Out of sight, out of mind

Don't look up
You know where to go
What does it matter
Just carry on
What's important is very confused
We ignore it, accept the mild abuse
Spent the day feeding ducks bread
Maybe they remember you
All the while you know the truth
That they just want your bread
When things look up
Then open your eyes
What will it matter
You carried on
Start to sway what way to go
What's important
The shift in your weight as you hesitate
Is very confused
Ducks don't know how to form a row
We'll ignore it
Remember that this life is great
Accept the mild abuse
Spent the day feeding ducks bread
Maybe they admire you
All the while you know the truth
That those are just ducks
Start to sway what way to go
What's important
The shift in your weight as you hesitate
Is very confused
Ducks don't know how to form a row
We'll ignore it
Remember that this life is great
Accept the mild abuse

Leave Me Alone
04:28
|

|
And I can't sit still
Retrace my steps as I pace
Ive got the floor of this place burnt in the back of my eyes
And who are you to not care anymore
Leave me alone
And when all has come and gone
And you don't have anyone
You'll stop to rethink the thoughts you thought were the kinks
Oh but now they're gone
Woah is you
Leave me alone

By Ear
04:41

She don't worry 'bout her future
She just worries 'bout her hair
If you ask her where she's goin'
She'll tell you I don't really even care
Play it by ear if what you want is what you've got year after year
Play it by ear but realize life's next step's already here
Figure it out somehow
You'll figure it out
Question everything you're doin'
Look yourself in the eye
If you realize you're not happy
You've got some time to go before you die
Play it by ear if what you want is what you've got year after year
Play it by ear but realize life's next step's already here
Figure it out somehow
You'll figure it out
Until that day comes don't do anything dumb

Growin' Old

Filled your feet with broken glass
You've gassed your lungs
Signs of time have just dawned to begun
It ain't so bad, no don't feel bad for me
Seein' things I never I'd see
Truth be told you're growin' old
Keep the parts of you you like and toss the bad
Truth be told you're growin' old
Comin' to find out it's not that bad
Torn tendons and cataracts
Leathered skin and broken backs
You've torn yourself apart and pieced it back
It ain't so bad, no don't feel bad for me
Bein' things I never thought I'd be
Truth be told you're growin' old
Keep the parts of you you like and toss the bad
Truth be told you're growin' old
Comin' to find out it's not that bad

Closin' Doors

The Earth stood still but not for long
Kept its spin but functioned wrong
Preparing its skin for an age of ice
The trees will die the fruit will wilt
This was everything we built
Now sit back and watch it die
Tell your friends you can't go out
You've got things to think about
Preparing your skin for an age of ice
If I knew then what I know now
Wouldn't have much to think about
Prepare myself for my own advice
Closin' doors
Maybe they will open
Closin' doors
Get this over with
Closin' doors
Maybe they will open
Closin' doors
Let's get this over with
Transcend above yourself
Put your problems on the shelf
Thank your god that you're alive
If you have these thoughts
You have your health
Have your own concept of wealth
When you emerge you will be fine
Closin' doors
Maybe they will open
Closin' doors
Get this over with
Closin' doors
Maybe they will open
Closin' doors
Let's get this over with

Can't seem to rise with the sun in the morning
Could not sleep with the moon in the sky
Waking up slowly but I'm whining and moaning
Stuck on repeat 'til the day that I die
Mind's in its prime 'til 3 in the morning
Heads in the trash 'til 3 in the day
Movin' on slowly but I'm whinin' and moanin'
Better get sleepin' cause the sun's on his way
Take your time
Figure out your mind
Don't have to sit and stress, It's all a mess, It'll take time
Nevermind, that's just how she goes
Work 8 to 5 everyday to stay alive
But that's not how you feel
Workin' on something but you've got to give it time
To become something real
Take your time
Figure out your mind
Don't have to sit and stress, It's all a mess, It'll take time
Nevermind, that's just how she goes
