Cholesterol

Take it easy
Take a load off sometimes
You shouldn't worry about your cholesterol
I swear its a ploy by the pharmaceutical industry
To get people like you to take drugs you don't need
So they can take vacations to impoverished countries
Everyone tells me that I look just like you
I tell them all the same thing
"I know"

No Weekend
04:46
|

I've become aware of what it's like to be
I've become aware of how frequently
I'm tripping over the simple tasks of the day
But there's no reason that I have to complain
Don't want another pill
I've been down there
Might need another pill so I don't go down there
Give me a second chance
I'll be a good man
Give me a second chance, something I can withstand
There's no reason that I have to complain
But there's no weekend
I have to work everyday

The Cloud

|

I want to upload to the cloud
I've wanted this since I was a little kid
To stand on fence posts waving goodbye
For someone to notice when I fall down

Weeds
04:39
|

Feedback loops are indebted to various pressures of this world
No way to forget them
They consume me
Intimate moments bring about anxiety to do
with my performance
You're laughing...
There's nothing I'd like more than to see its gravestone covered in snow
But I keep holding on to the weeds
and it's hard to let go

After My Coffee
03:03
|

Blood in my body
My passed future haunts me
Anticipating improvements but nothing
No peace
In the morning they start bothering me
After my coffee
Sensation continues and I can't go back to sleep
Only stare

Penmanship
03:35
|
|||
Your penmanship
Crude but accurate
Endures for decades on the wall
With scents of food and alcohol
I let the flies in
They will land on my face
It's not as appetizing as the fat on my waste
I'll cut a piece for you and present it on your plate
I'll bleed here

Volunteer
03:56
|

Last summer I hid myself away
I liked it, I don't want shit.
I need a volunteer
I need you to stand right here
If something is hurdling towards you I'll tell you so
I'll let you know
Last summer I gave myself away
You took me
I liked that.
We visited your grave
I wish you could still find it!
Because I re-dug the pit big enough for the two of us
I need a volunteer
I need you to be right here
If something is crawling next to you I'll tell you so
I'll let you know

Prone
04:18
|

Sucked up in the vacuum
Down the drain and out of my way
I can't be expected to rockabye, to sleep tight
With a stye in my eye
Told my father I steal from time to time
"That's the strangest thing you've ever said."
He said
Can't explain to him why, waste of my time
It's only from big box stores and I won't feel bad about that.
I sleep on my stomach
I know it's bad for you
I'm not proud of it
but it's something I do
I sleep on my stomach
Almost every night
I'm working on it
I try to readjust but I
Feel so protected
on that side
It's doing damage
to my spine
I sleep on my stomach
It's the worst way
It's doing damage
That will only get worse with age

Help Yourself
05:10
|
|||
There you are
and you found yourself a friend
to your detriment
They've never met you
They solely tend to destroy you
like a vampire of peace
It takes practice
I'm not a narcissist
or a solipsist
but I believe you can help yourself.
