You're blowing air into a cloud nine That you don't deserve You're dipping toes into a pool of mine And into my nerves I'm fine I'm fine on cloud nine You're in the middle of a shit storm Welcome to life You're in the middle of my bed, so warm In between my wife And me Welcome, it's so warm

Why must we ask for This which you know? Why do you keep which Ever things you have too much of? Which you know Things you have too much of Which you know Things you have too much of

Welcome to Electronic Hell Three hells to be exact: 1) In this version of hell, the storage we call memory does not exist. So in order to access your memories, you must use a device. But where did you leave it? In this version of hell, memory does not exist. Working up the backbone Then turning on a dime If I could just recall the answer I wouldn't have to lie If I could just recall the question Stringing up a lie wouldn't hurt Cause I could hide from your rejection Stringing up a lie Bringing up a lot of old bad memories. And diggin' up all the worst. Well, can't keep an eye on the things that you don't remember. Just try to bring those back to... later. 2) In this version of hell, the interface for electronic communication exists but the internet does not. The capacity for human interaction is in you- indeed, you yearn for it. But while you can align and organize the medium, the 0's and 1's cannot send the message. Oh... I Yeah In this version of hell, the 0's and 1's cannot send the message. 3) In this version of hell, there is no hell- because there are no consequences, existentially, for any action. That's not so bad, is it?

I tell myself "Mmm what a splash" Umm yeah in the springtime, summertime, wintertime, fall time The salty air I meet a lot of people

At .6g I'll let my mind float away from me I have no need for that old thing She knows, how strange The light glows brighter in my head Whenever she goes that light could shine instead Heartache ain't more Than what the root of love it I can't be blamed for A loving heart She knows She knows there's a light bulb in my head Wherever she goes That light could shine instead She knows, how strange The light glows brighter in my head Whenever she goes that light could shine instead And though I know she has an awful ways to go Her lights are off, her doors are closed She circuit bends to end this brightness in my head But wherever send that light could shine instead Heartache ain't more Than what the root of love it I can't be blamed for A loving heart When she knows She knows there's a light bulb in my head Wherever she goes That light could shine instead She knows, how strange The light glows brighter in my head Wherever she goes I'm supposed to glow instead

Spent the day inside your maze, I watch you Looking for the patterns in your days Played the game and lost my way, show me how To cut through to you To cut through to you What'd you say? I can't see straight, I lost you Looking for the bough that's bound to break Stayed awake for 20 days to show you I'd cut through to you I'd cut through to you You live in your own Season alone Spent the day inside your maze, I watch you Looking for the patterns in your days Played the game and lost my way, show me how To cut through to you To cut through to you You live in your own Season alone (feat. Julia Beiro)

I drink on the job oh yeah I drink on the job Until I throw up And my brain starts to throb Oh yeah my pays getting cut When I show up too late But I show up enough Until the bills get paid I drink on the job I drink on the job And now you know why (Work sucks!) I drink on the job I drink on the job And now you know why (Work sucks) I drink on the job oh yeah I drink on the job Because my work sucks The boss thinks I'm a slob Oh yeah I work in the constructs And the commute is a dread No worker's comp For when I bump my head

Hey Mr. "Me Path" Dad doesn't like that So chores, sports, and school math Until you turn You'll turn from it someday Turn 'til your hair is gray Then Dad does what you say Until Dad turns Oh life goes on Oh lights turn on Please see me Hand on forehead Please feel me Turning the wheel Bye Mrs. Prom Queen Selfish and so mean Your heart's on the big screen But your heart is small You're mean in a big way Mean 'til your hair's gray But we'll do what you say Until you turn Oh life goes on Oh lights turn on Please see me Hand on forehead Please feel me Turning the wheel (Co-written with Tim Moore)

I just need some directions On the First of July I don't need your directions That's why I am so high Making on, make a direction Don't help me! I don't want to be on a- Simply don't, city don't! I don't want to be a direction on the Fourth of July Know when to bicep Wanna make it estranged I know that we were the back stand To center the raid I don't need your repression I just need some consent I just need a direction To get paid Making on, make a direction Don't help me! I don't want to be on a- Simply don't, city don't! I don't want to be a direction on the Fourth of July

I don't even know whose ears I'm humming for Of course I too have ears Of all these different feelings I'm strumming into chords There's none that you should hear I ask too many questions but I'm going to ask some more Until you make it clear Because you Always Hear me the most You liked it so far and I'm getting close You Always Showed me what's next Show me until I don't know the rest I'm drawing out a vision from a sight that can't be seen Unless you close your eyes I'm asking you to listen, not to question what it means Unless you find it wise... You say you only feel it with the spaces in between The music that I write Because you Always Hear me the most You liked it so far and I'm getting close You Always Showed me what's next Show me until I don't know the rest

Aww man this things busted! Man we gotta call a tow truck before things get bad... But dude, the sea waters rising too fast, we won't make it! Stupid climate change On the way to somewhere there can be A ghastly view Of an overturned truck crashing fast into you A bloody red horizon spreading round What to do? Call your AAA girl, ask her if she'll burn the fuse Call your AAA girl! On the way to somewhere she had lots Of cute cats Everywhere you turned there was a claw Scratching your back Everyone will consult me for what You call facts Call your AAA girl and she'll do all of that Call your AAA girl!

You've kissed her at the club She's every republican's dream girl She doesn't like to vote She follows the plan You smile at the club But she doesn't budge she's a mean girl She's heard your jokes before And sometimes they work So you say... When DJ drops the beat She replaces her feat with a hand stand She bounces upside down And kicks your mouth hard You've kissed her at the club But now there is blood where your lips hurt She sees and somehow shrugs According to plan

And you want to stay on again, you say That you you want to stay on And you want to stay on again, you say When I go It isn't wasting what you want to have, it's just Wasting everything we have to want If every feeling's taking space we need to have Way less waste And you want to stay on again, you say That you want to stay on again And you want to stay on again, you say When I go

Oh it's the big one Oh it's the thick one Let's have some big fun I bet this one's so big it fits under the sun Oh it's the big one Let's have some fun But someone might find me instead Before I'm off to bed Oh it's a thick one Let's have some fun But someone might find me instead Before I'm off to bed Oh it's a big one Let's have some fun Let's have some fun Fun Fun But someone might find me instead Before I'm off to bed Oh it's the big one Let's have some fun

A Mistake 02:56
I've been sniffing the piss that I peed on the floor I'm getting tired of making mistakes I'm not gonna make no mistakes any more I'm just too busy to be but it burns to the core And plus the toilet is too far away It seems the only way is to spray on the floor Oh the urine stain Why does it have to stay? Oh the urine stain It smells like a mistake Oh the urine stain Why does it have to stay? Oh the urine stain It smells like a mistake It smells like a mistake I've been slipping in piss that I peed on the floor I'm getting tired of making mistakes I'm not gonna make no mistakes any more Of all the smells I've made this one hits the galore I'm getting tired of making mistakes But at least it's just a 1, not a 2, 3, or 4 Oh the urine stain Why does it have to stay? Oh the urine stain It smells like a mistake Oh the urine stain Why does it have to stay? Oh the urine stain It smells like a mistake It smells like a mistake

Blood from the ceiling to the floor It keeps you alive but nothing more But then the rent here is just so cheap... Ghosts in the basement, stairs that creak Your WD-40 just hides the squeek Scooby-Doo wouldn't go for this shit Take the kids And get the hell out It don't make sense With the screaming this loud To stick around But when the money is good Then it's understood You've got nothing left to lose When the mortgage is made And the bills are paid You've got nothing left to lose

I think I've been chasing the wrong girl's ghost Through the haunted hills of love Her banshee screams were a-frightening me But, probably not enough Because that's when she knew about the freakish weakness There- which makes me sing That's when she knew about the siren's tune too But didn't do a thing... She doesn't do a thing While the fear inside me sings: "Do, do, do, do. Do. Do. Do." "No" she said "You won't believe my stress. I've got so much pain in my heart, My weak- And my -ness." "No" she said "You won't believe my stress." I think I've been chasing the wrong girl's ghost Through the haunted hills of love Her banshee screams were a-frightening me But, probably not enough Because that's when she knew about the freakish weakness There- which clips my wing That's when she knew about the siren's tune too But didn't do a thing... She doesn't do a thing While the fear inside me sings: "Do, do, do, do. Do. Do. Do." Oh... "Do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do- Do!" Oh, YEAH... "No" she said "You won't believe my stress. I've got so much pain in my heart, My weak- And my -ness." "No" she said "You won't believe my stress." "No" she said "You won't believe my stress. I've got so much pain in my heart, My weak- And my -ness."

Wake me before you sleep Don't ask me to spare my dream I'll tell you where I go I'll tell you if you must know I sink to the bottom and that is where I go Wake me before you sleep Don't ask me not to dream I'll tell you where I go I'll tell you if you must know I sink to the bottom and that is where I go Goodnight Good morning Again (Again?) Tell me when to sleep Don't ask me to go to sleep I'll tell you where I go I'll tell you if you must know I go to the bottom and that is where I go

I don't know who I was last night I don't know what I did I blacked out bad, blacked out all the light I gotta get off the grid I gotta make up excuses now I've gotta make those wrongs right Big bad memories out on the prowl I've gotta shine a new light Memories might fade Fade to darkness to hide the mess I made To hide the toxic ego marmalade That I spread around I don't know who I was last night I don't know who I hurt I blacked out bad, blacked out all the lights I gotta make this thing work I gotta make up excuses now I gotta turn the lights on Big bold goals out on the prowl I gotta write a new song Memories might fade Fade to darkness to hide the mess I made To hide the toxic ego marmalade That I spread around Memories might fade Fade to darkness to hide the mess I made To hide the toxic ego marmalade That I spread around

Where's all Those breeze block walls From our fever dreams? Will we see Through the bathtub steam Of our fantasies And our make believes Which might never end? Blow the wind Till the bitter end Did we move too fast? Did the market crash? Did the bubble burst? Cause that shit hurt Don't speak with honesty If it blocks the breeze Pull the wool Over both our eyes, and I'll Pull your finger then Leave the room If it poisons me Your rotten breeze Who are these Ghosts you bring Into our haunted home? Who leaves these tangerines On the shelf for months? Will I lose my lunch? Will these rotten things Poison me? (Poison me)

You can go On the other side of time You can go On the other side You can go just where you like On the other side of time there is the truth You can go just where you like On the other side of time You can go just where you like On the other side of time there is the truth You can go just where you like On the other side (Time) You can go just where you like On the other side of time there is the truth You can go just where you like On the other side of time You can go just where you like On the other side of time there is the truth You can go just where you like On the other side of time You can go On the other side of time You can go On the other side You can go just where you like On the other side of time there is the truth You can go just where you like On the other side of time You can go just where you like But on the other side of time there is the truth You can go just where you like On the other side of time Goodbye!
