You will never be full of morality You don’t know how to behave I wouldn’t dare say You should ever sell out Or slow your tempo It isn’t easy to live your art Sinking in an ocean, deep Where he can’t reach your heart, babe Just relax and let him fade There’s no way to flee You’re inherently on your own But that’s fine, okay? You wouldn’t be quite the same Without some crushed dreams A few broken bones It isn’t easy to act your part Sinking in an ocean Where no one could reach your heart, babe Just push down and let him fade It isn’t easy to live your art Sinking in an ocean, deep Where he can’t reach your heart, babe Just relax and let him fade

I stepped out through the fall leaves Tasted fall’s glow And fall its tastes grow I tasted things I wanted to see The Grand Prix cars shine into the bright dawn You went down to the race track Lost in the throes Of cars screeching below Oil eyes so hazy Could you see The Grand Prix cars shine into the bright dawn? I tasted things I wanted to see The Grand Prix cars shine into the bright dawn

Cannot wait Tomorrow’s cat scratch fever Won’t ever break I’ll hang onto things I’ll want you lately Sorry before couldn’t see it clearly Sit and kindly wait For dust and dirt to cover things Growth rings showing That tomorrow lasts for days Turned to ghosts Wouldn’t dare to wind my wrist watch Forever half past eight Seconds in honey They can’t roam freely Pardon, today can’t see it clearly Sit and kindly wait For dust and dirt to cover things Wedding rings And then tomorrow lasts for days We’ll soon forget Wait and you’ll find Living behind Say you’re busy That’s also fine Don’t really mind You’re gently singing Rush from behind Appears to be safe Different from everything I believed

I searched online To find some cruelty free serums Top results were sponsored So who even knows? Their product line Not quite certified vegan, so Is it okay to put this on my nose? Everyone’s a failure Eye bags cause you sleep face down No longer look like a baby It’s because of your meltdowns If you had therapy For your childhood traumas You might have energy To work out your torso And if you worked out you’d be Less prone to back aches so you Could sleep to avoid early dementia Everyone’s a failure You could be retiring now If you had just pinched your pennies Not put them in Samurai Shodown

You and I be on a medical team And we have contact with sadness in reams You can strive to downplay Or come undone Alternate between stressed and just numb It’s trite I’ll concede A bit lame for a creed I could go on But it’s my philosophy I’ll play my guitar, sing all alone Leave bed unmade And my hair uncombed Grind for a great stately pantone In spite of dry eyes Stare at blue light A leaf in a sea Too small to be seen Or to be known It’s my philosophy And lately I’m crying Can’t get anything done And can’t ever go back Even if I believed And if we could go back Would we do the same thing? And if we could go back Would we dream the same dreams? Faith in small nothings Do nothing extreme And then pass on That’s my philosophy And play my guitar Innocent drone You and I be Each halves of every reason Every laugh We could hang on to every day Or just shit on this chiffon? I’m frayed to the wire And I forget what I’m saying Playing along Fuck every design I’ll just do whatever you want Man I’m dumb I tend to overeat To forget the monotony And you and I be on a medical team And we have contact with sadness in reams And you can strive to downplay Or come undone Or alternate between stressed and just numb It’s trite I’ll concede A bit lame for a creed Could go on But it’s my philosophy

Every day while working the gridlock The 405 or the corner of Northrup Saving for a good life off of the streets now While looking out for the cops of the cockblock Days into weeks without A proper sleep So when they come I flee I booked a show right here on the boardwalk A few tourists tossed coins because I rocked I covered Tom Petty’s Room at the Top Then cleared out by the cops of the cockblock Fines I need to pay down Leave or arrest me But don’t take my money I found an in with the man on the top I simply need to take the goods to the drop When I’m at the designated bus stop I hand the guns to the cops of the cockblock Dismayed, I’ve been played, how? Tasered and cuffed Then convicted of everything You’ve been bad too Am I really that bad? My crime is that I’m broke and beat down A mean dad Was never allowed to be Free and sad Like all my friends were Late at night lying in this damp cell block I dare to dream while wearing an orange smock Someday will have a good life off of the streets, how? If I keep my cool the parole board might allow Days into weeks without A proper sleep And it’s all one big blur

Reused canvases To save dough Concealed behind cardboard: a man Hidden self-portrait by Vincent Van Gough I guess I’m just like that A fake top coat Obscures an uglier man Hidden self-portrait by Vincent Van Gogh

I’d felt pressured Cause life is a big snore It needs some texture And occasional fun We’d bought tickets To the pitchfork festival They'd promised it’d be chill A birthday home run Don’t wish to displease Already a bit of a shut-in Hey I would honestly Want to be home with my hobbies People were gawking I'm overthinking my walking Past vendors were hawking Shirts from Zeppelin My hair was blowing With revealing recession I wormed through the crowd Like an endoscopy Don’t wish to displease I’m sure these bands are quite charming But fuck this festival scene It’s raining yet I'm sweating

You should watch for awhile This thing I made Became the talk of the town Not a dollar was paid I barely tease Shein agreed To send me these gowns I was not in the need of money Thought it’d be funny To turn free shit down Doesn’t this look good on me? It’s rather chic Smash that like button right now I’ll try on every item in sight Every slide, pant, or tie Twirl and glide C’mon please guys subscribe I’ll be so psyched My popular haul sees Quite the steep Bump in brand loyalty I have clout Not here for royalties Or make buddies Or get on my knees YouTube won’t allow My personality It’s rudimentary But kinda cute anyhow You You finally hit that subscribe That’s rather nice Now click that ad for your grout Sculpted nose Shaven toes No eye bags Take a small puff from— It’s a vape vibe Buy some of this cake crumb

You’ve had talking dreams Hence I found out Guess we’re back to old standards? Too tangled all the things Maybe discover Where this comes from? Hey, I’ll twist two fingers Into phone cables and shout What if we for once held back? Hey, all your words slot into The thin bones in my spine Provide support for the meat You’ve had taking dreams Hence I found out I guess we’re back among hazards Too tangled everything Maybe uncover Where this went wrong Hey, I’ll twist two fingers Into phone cables and shout Which ones are plants and not weeds? Take out What if we take out all the world’s handouts And try to never lose them? Too tangled everything Hence I have doubts How were we ever convinced of Kettles and pollen dreams? Vaguely they’re out Where’d they come from? You’ve had talking dreams Hence I found out Guess we’re back to old standards? Too tangled all the things Maybe discover Where this comes from? Hey, I’ll twist two fingers Into phone cables and shout What if we for once held back? Hey, all your words slot into The thin bones in my spine Provide support for the meat Hey, I’ll twist two fingers Into phone cables and shout Which ones are plants and not weeds? Take out What if we take out all the world’s handouts And try to never lose them?

Dead Snow 01:28
You want to go So far today Out the driveway Explore a new route The afterworld Is full of very cold souls Frozen in state ‘Cause the sun has gone out They collect your smile now In dead snow They pull skin, in frost can’t decay In dead snow
