The ravens calmed my appetite
I had some time to step outside
I came and saw and took my time
I stayed around for suppertime
The sun was shining, oh so bright
But I prefer the candlelight
The day's a lot worse than the night
But I know what's wrong and what is right
For an omnipresent soul
You belong in good company
So find out what your soul is worth
And allow it to come to me
The way you're talking makes me want to
Take all of the passion from you
You can try to fend us off
But you know that I'll be gunning for you
I'll help guide you to the light
But just take heed of my advice
Go out and try and hope you're right
That the world won't harm you if you're nice
Put on a song and make it work
Cause you're all in good company
Find out what your soul is worth
And allow it to come to me

What have you been up to lately?
Have you thought about your safety?
Walls around the fire are crumbling down
And I can smell the humble pie that you were baking
Rolling down the desert road
And I can't see nothing behind me
And I don't remember why I came here
All I know is that you're done for
All the places I've been
You don't wanna see
Get back up and keep on swinging
Until you drop in front of me
Some rubble stones
Blow past your head
But you get right back up and look to me
I'm wearing red
And I'm ready for the time of my life
Go with your gut, there's no one around
Stomp out that fucker like a dry leaf crackling on the asphalt
Trash talk, spit your venom like you're hocking phlegm on them
Dropping lemon juice into everyone's eye sockets
The sidewalk can handle all the blood, but you can't
So take a stick out of your pocket and crack it in half
Stab yourself
Decorate your head with a plastic bag
Grab a fresh cactus with both of your hands
Practice your manners and drop
Cause this whorehouse isn't vacant
And don't come at me with your jokes
Or I'll lock you in the basement

My name's Buddy
And I got in trouble once again
I'm getting around to it
I'm just losing track of when
Turned around somewhere
Did some things I shouldn't have done
How'd I get so messed up
Just trying to have some fun
We could all go
Swimming by the lake
Buddy says
It'll be more fun than it sounds
So come on out now
We've got it all just how you like it
You can have your good day
If you can find your lighter
Didn't feel good
So decided to go home
Buddy says he needs sunlight
Or he's gonna croak
Let's all just
Take a leap of faith
Across the water
To sweet conclusions, now

Alex will eject himself from Earth
And touch the sun
Won't be distracted from his work
By anyone
I'd like to tell him he should stay
But I'd be a liar
Alex is smart, he knows the way
But I don't know what he's thinking
Alex all over the place
Backfire sends you out to space
Ass-pull recoils in your face
Now it's not so easy
Alex does not care for the way
Things turned out
Lost his footing on the brakes
He's going all out
He did all the right things today
What went wrong?
Nobody knows just what to say
But you know what they're thinking

The Wash

Contamination seeps inside
From the ones who never tried
The wash is gonna happen soon
I don't wanna have to lose my shit again
So go ahead and dip
Walk around
Do something worth my money, please
Don't fool around
Cause I won't find it funny
I'm a bore
I'm a drag
You should keep your distance from me, cause
There's something I'll say that future you would never wanna hear, ok?
Hey kid
Wanna know a secret?
Your parents sold you to a clown
How you feel?
Whatcha gonna do now?
Can you help what's been done to you?
Can you see God's monkeys nestling in?
It seems some problems can't be fixed
So pick up the phone, or
We will have to lose our shit, oh man
The collar of our shirts
Go in their hands again
Are we gonna be ok?
The man in the street says he's ok
What don't you need?
Where do you stay?
Can I get a ride or a replay?
Today or nay?
Don't play
Nobody said it was doomsday
No need for suspicions of foul play
Listen to me, you'll be ok
Today or nay

Something is up with your dearest friend
He's sleeping much more than they recommend
He calls out of work, but continues to spend
He's giving out gives and he's making amends
What could be wrong on a holiday?
You've broken a glass, let it ruin your day
Waiting for something to come your way
The feeling is gone, but you want it to stay
Step out with a smile
I would've thought you had it all under control
Let the reaper stall
Wind it back
Cause it's nothing at all
Dispensary looks like the Apple store
Please take your shoes off at the door
Velvety walls with the marble floors
$18 a gram, but the top shelf's more
Wondering what went wrong in your teens
When you spent the whole day sat in front of a screen
Reading some tips on loving yourself
Still figuring out what the fuck they mean

Hey there Mrs. Tiger
Won't you climb up on my bed?
I could be the yarn you want to play with
You are such a feral one
It makes me want to pin you down
Winds will come and go
But there's a special one that I need now
Join me for some checkers
As I wait for it to come back out
Can you feel the mercury
Flailing around inside my veins?
I know you will kill me
But the world is ending anyway
Vision blurs, head begins to pound
And there's a voice I hear
My mind searches the hallways
But it seems that you were never here
Nothing seems to phase me
It's as though my life is standing still
I'll wait for things to come to me
Cause I know that they always will
Streetlights flicker, one-by-one
As light begins to disappear
All I see is the shadow of a cat
That I know isn't here

I think I'm crazy
Baby
It's getting late and you still hate me
Baby
Think you're wasting away with me
Baby
Can't decide if it's a maybe
Baby

Spiders
I found one in my bed
And one turned into ten
I can feel them crawling
While everything turns red
Mama wants to see you come alive
Spiders
They start at the toes
And they work their way up
I don't know what I've done wrong
But surely they would let me know, right?
Mama wants to see you come alive

"Have you ever seen God?"
They ask
Well if you just look around
I've seen angels that talk through songs
I've heard their orchestra's sound
Felt my fingers run down your spine
Turned your fruit to the finest wine
Opium has caressed me down
In a couple of songs
Let yourself become one with us
Think of me when it's all too much
Don't you cry, cause it's just a feeling
That you're turning to dust
Forget about me, I'm so far gone
The new me lost and the old me won
I'll wipe all of it out forever
Til all that's left is the good
