FAFO

you roll off of Medusa's raft
and then float for eternity
you should swim
they're circling around
you should swim
i can see the fins
i don't know why i even try
i don't know why i do
you pop off when you wreck it all
and then scoff at the aftermath
it's a choice to be reconciled
in a fog of belligerence
i don't know why i even try
i don't know why i do
that's a lie
so come on
baby let me hear it, let's go
can you handle it?
when it's dark, they'll be right behind you
come on, baby give me it
i don't know why i even try
i don't know why i do
glitter in my bones
it's an awful shame
look you in they eyes
then you back away

Awake
02:54
|
|||
|
you walk alone at night with your collar up trying to push it all away
you wanted more, you wanted in
you're looking for a fight so you needle pick at a wound that never closed
you wanted more, you wanted in
you just walk away to come right back again
you just walk away
the walls fall down in time
gotta get back up
gotta make it out someday
i know that you're awake
awake
i know that you're awake
you're awake i say
beetles ate all the ash
now we trip and fall down a smokey gravel path
you wanted more, you wanted in
bee stung lips that pout
you enumerate all your petty grievances
you wanted more, you wanted in
you just walk away to come right back again
you just walk away
the walls fall down in time
gotta get back up
gotta make it out someday
I know that you're awake
awake
i know that you're awake
you're awake i say

Already There

i'm about to cut you down right where you stand
that's enough of you to last a lifetime through
i've had enough
now i want answers
hey, it's the bout of the night
she said, "i'm all that you have"
it's about the time of the night
in fact, she said "i'm already there"
i'm already over this and on the next insanity
that you're gonna feed to all the lemmings who devour it
but it's semantics
hey, it's the bout of the night
she said, "i'm all that you have"
it's about that time of the night
in fact, she said "i'm already there"
i'm already there

How You Are
03:54

you know what they told her
but she did it anyway
is the price of freedom
worth somebody's pain?
it's how you are when no one is looking
i can't be that callow
to go out with a smile
and make like it's all normal
for just a little while
it's how you are when no one is looking
how you are when no one is looking
now that it's all over
what will you take away?
but what if all our choices
are written on our fate?
it's how you are when no one is looking
how you are when no one is looking

Have Your Fun
02:48

the walls, they shake
when sirens go screaming down the avenues around here
you can't escape the noise and vitriol
that penetrates around here
'cause i'm not doing anything
i'm not seeing anyone
i'm just living carefully
so you go and have your fun
have your fun for me
they all gave up
the virus is ripping through the populace around here
it fogs their minds
denial is clogging up the synapses around here
the ducks were all in a row
the warmth of having control
the years have taken a toll on me
cause i'm doing anything
i'm not seeing anyone
i'm just living carefully
so you go and have your fun
have your fun for me
have your fun for me

The Rivoli
02:24

|
what i call sound shapes
i'll have a "Chocolate Choo Choo"
for i have a good attitude towards menstruation
i am crushing your head
these are the Daves i know
my gazebo
stop him, he's got my pen
does this mutt say Glemonex for pets?
my cap is luke
a cabbage for a head
a cup of sideburns
such a fuss over a few extra S's
it's luke warm, but i want it hot-hot

Sit Next To Me
02:07
|
|||
|
when i watch The Fall it keeps me up awake at night
bending backwards to cover up the smallest slights
she said
they said anyone can be anything
if you can't say nothing nice
come sit next to me
with your mouth shut, your eyes sing out a sweet refrain
batting lashes to let me know you're still the same
and then
they said anyone can be anything
if you can't say nothing nice
come sit next to me
in the dark
pieces of my heart rip apart
it happens all the time in my mind
bat shit all the time in my mind

Again
02:00
|
|||
|
you're coming over again
to tie me up
and all the others who hung around
just fucked shit up
you wandered over to me with starry eyes
that devil smile curling up was my demise
tear it up and start to mend
you walked out and started this again
again
i'm coming over again to trip you up
i don't think you're even ready for what i cooked up
your words are all just a drone inside my head
your face asleep on a pillow inside my bed
burn it down and start again
now we are the best of friends
again

Sit Tight
02:22
|
|||
|
talking about you in my sleep
walking past you in the street
don't spell it out, go overboard, i got it
the more you take, the more i know, i want it
i won't sit down, i won't shut up about it
i looked around and know i know i found it
i renounce the reasons why
calm back down and then sit tight
falling, faster, off to sleep
floating, tranquil, in the deep
the noise distorts, i hear you shout then whisper
the funnel cake, the sugared lips that kissed her
the faces change and rearrange in pictures
the skin around her beauty mark is blistered
all the lines are absent nine
calm back down and then sit tight

he came up to me yesterday
i turned around and walked away
'cause i don't finesse anymore
not gonna pack it up and die because i'm old
not gonna wait tonight
we're gonna rip it up
it's time to celebrate
aaaahhhhh
he wants me down on bended knee
i told him "motherfucker please"
'cause when we come, we come to slay
not gonna sit around and waste this precious day
not gonna wait tonight
we're gonna rip it up
it's time to celebrate
aaaahhhhh
