Feels like floating up
sinking down
vision blurs and I'm back with her
Still it's better than
not having lived
discovering myself through a computer
Fix the memory
to cassette tape
may it distort but never fade
Free-associate and
pseudo-dream
remove the nozzle select the grade

My heart was broken I bought an accordion
after my worst New Year's Eve
spent laying in bed, filling with dread
sleep totally snuffed by feelings
It's been years and it still kind of burns but
I can feel a new lift in me
Now I think it's ready to float myself away and
finally not have to worry
Let's set it off
Light the fuse and stand real close
just to see the sparks
basking in the rubble, cinged by the flames
from our rocket to the heavens
Let's set it off
Light the fuse and stand real close
not afraid to die
sweetly in the night with you by my side
Let's fall in love

Before the island and the sea
never threatened me
ignoring the clay shifting
Was I sent from up above
to harbor who I love
which admittedly is pretty much everyone
Dark eyes are staring down
from behind those huge jowels
and I've never had to be so direct
but will for the sake of the peanuts I protect
Conflict is sometimes brought to you
step up when it's the right thing to do
Hatred sometimes pushes through
stop take a step back if you have to
It's a kind of telepathy
that grows my empathy
acceptance for people's choices
Ideas start out as eggs
and hatch into larvae
everyone could use an extra mother
I'm remembering what Niezche said
about Godzilla being dead but
even through the tears and bites I know
I am a god in my own right
Conflict is sometimes brought to you
step up when it's the right thing to do
Hatred sometimes pushes through
stop take a step back
Self-doubt can make you feel askew
but talk can help more than what you knew
Crying is just a thing you do
knowing what matters s'what really defines you

Just Like Metal

We'll make a cozy packet
when I zip you into my jacket
before composures go out in a blaze
and twist together in colorful ways
We'll find something to smother
in one way or another
some things aren't so grand
when we all end up with lives we didn't plan
She's tough just like metal
but I am rust and make her fragile
fucking up, tears impending
feels like the world is ending
Sucks I can't give you what you deserve
when all my life I've been taught to serve
when the alarm goes off you don't have to evacuate
all the best things in life are worth the wait
A relationship's just an exploration
of the self through another person
a way to feel some comfort when
I don't wanna feel lost ever again
A song on a record is how I can convey
all the shitty things about myself to make them seem ok
Hanging in the air, hopeless how can I even try
she told me "I can't tell if you're about to come or if you're about to cry."

Sometimes You Are Alone

Sitting with our lone thoughts can be sad
knowing in the end it's all we have
we're hiding from view eating bad fast food in the street
salty scent lingers wiping my fingers on the seat
And the thing we want from being young is getting out on our own
but the worst part about growing up is sometimes you are alone
We are tempted to intoxicate
but you can't drink cuz you hate the taste
lonely nights reveal how you always feel down this path
feeling only stress thinking about death in the bath

On gloomy days like this
I'm reminded of Annapolis
and all of the loneliness too
Though I harbor no ill will
it was a bittersweet consolation
when I seemed to be doing better than you
but now I'm glad that you seem to be doing
pretty well too

The only thing I have are your books
which I still haven't read and I don't really care to
I thought that I'd send them back
which I haven't done because it's too late for that
And as the plane descend like hornets
I can't help wonder what is it with you
and hoping that you miss your flights
it's happened to me more than once in my life
I know that we're chill and there's no need to freak
I understand it all and I'm totally at peace
can't believe some people are unable to see
nothing to talk about means to let it be
Dirty old man corrupted in the head
now I understand so much of what you said
as the lights go off and I leave the room
what gives me the right to be judging you
I appreciated that you tried to treat me
with the same kind of loyalty that I tried to show you
I appreciate you trying to treat me with the same
even though you didn't quite follow through
As rad as you were it just wasn't meant to be
and all things considered that's ok with me
it's not really over but I'm sick of feeling sick
someone else might love me if I make cooler music

First thing is how we've all grown closer even though it's been a tough year
but I feel selfish when I need you to alleviate all my fears
cuz sometimes I need for you to take the lead
or to follow me
and believe powerfully
in bearing with me
Next thing is how I can't live with myself when my patience wears thin
angier about my art and music maybe more than I should have been
so sometimes I need for you to take the lead
or to follow me and believe powerfully
in bearing with me
Last thing is how you all do more than I feel that I can
Famicase, Maltine, Omori, Expo, Rosenstock, and Japan
yeah sometimes I need for you to take the lead
or to follow me and believe powerfully
in bearing with me

Let's see what we can do
with only an afternoon
let's see what is made from these stars
Let's push eachother
to always do better
even though it sometimes can be hard
Breathe out
let the whole world sink and spin around you and
don't fret
just allow yourself to be
Breathe in
feel all your hopes rushing through you and
don't wait
in accepting their call
Let go and become the person you were always
meant to be
you don't need anything else at all
