And I, I found this vessel that takes you to a lonely place, a place so lonely so hold me
And I, I'll take your lover, I'll put his head up on a stake and kiss his lips until they break
I can't read
And I, I'll go to juvy, I'll spend six years and I won't care cause all you pigs are so unfair
And I, I'll take you to a movie, I promise I won't make a move if you upload this to Youtube
I can't read
And I'm growing so impatient
Just waiting for you
And I, I found this vessel that takes you to a lonely place, a place so lonely so hold me
And I, I took your lover, I put his head up on a stake and kissed his lips until they broke
I can't read

Take another look inside
Don't talk to that man, he's a joke
Don't you touch those drugs my boy, they're a joke
uh oh
Cause when they're chasing ducks, they pick em off one by one and send them to the county fair
Where they'll be sold to some reluctant family who'll eat the meat and they won't care
Don't go to that school, it's a joke
You've been caught skipping class my boy, what a joke
uh oh
Cause when they're testing kids, they pick the least productive ones and give them all adderall,
And when they're all dumbed down, they'll teach em how to work in buildings that weren't build to hold us all
Hey dude where did you park? I think we lost the...
They don't care
Don't go to that creek, it's a joke
Don't talk to those kids my boy, they're a joke
uh oh
Cause when they're chasing ducks, they pick em off one by one and send them to the county fair
And when they're picking flowers, they pick up all the pretty ones and burn the rest it's so unfair

It wasn't completely your choice but don't worry we'll make it through
It wasn't completely your choice but don't worry cause I do
It wasn't completely your choice but don't worry cause we'll make it through
It wasn't completely your choice but don't worry cause I do
I, I'll give her a call
And she, she won't like it at all
As I'll recall
It wasn't completely your choice but don't worry we'll make it through
It wasn't completely your choice but don't worry cause I do
I, I gave her a call
And she, she didn't like it at all
As I recall
It wasn't completely your fault but don't worry we'll make it through
It wasn't completely your fault but don't worry cause I do
I, I'll give you a call
And you, you won't like it at all
As I'll recall

Cavemen

Down here in these caves, you'll see these bears
Only feed them with your left hand, with your right and they will surely aggress
And you'll see these walls, you'll only have to spend your life in here, don't try to leave or you won't have much force
Down here in these caves, you'll see these stairs
Only walk down them with your right foot in front, with your left and you will surely roll right down
And you'll see these men, they're always dressed the fucking same, they work all of their lives so they can spend
Well I didn't see it coming but, I think we've lost you
You know we didn't see it coming but, we think we've lost you
Down here in these caves, we all will rot
Cause we've depleted all our oxygen by trying to start the fires of our youth
And when we're all dead, we'll have no one left to turn to but the god we didn't believe in and why
and why?

Plasma

In our wonderful city of Los Angeles, there has been an alarming amount of bodies discovered, all of them without any blood, the numbers are still rising
If they take our plasma what will we do next?
If they take our plasma we'll die so let's undress
And we'll be making love until our blood is gone
So if they take our plasma maybe we'll connect
Yet I, I find it strange how you're sleeping out all the time,
I'm getting so concerned about you
If they take our feelings what will we do next?
If they take our feelings we'll die so let's undress
And we'll be making love until the sun has set
So if they take our feelings maybe you won't regret
How you've extracted me
Are you extracting me?

All is Falling Down

I'm sitting in the Vons parking lot, my car ain't working all that hot
and I've been driving way too much and rain is falling, rain is falling down
My stomach don't feel that great, maybe it's the donuts to replace you, you know all is falling, all is falling down
in here
Maybe you should just calm down
Maybe you should just get out
I'm sitting in the Vons parking lot, my car ain't working all that hot
and I've been driving way too much and rain is falling, rain is falling down
My stomach don't feel that great, maybe it's the donuts to replace you, you know all is falling, all is falling down
I thought I'd find you in that crawlspace, I think I'd find you hanging loose, but when I came home that one night, to find you hanging from a noose
Ahh
It's the illogical things that come out when you're least expecting
It's the irrational things, like letting all of those lobotomized people out
I'm sitting in the Vons parking lot, my car ain't working all that hot
and I've been driving way too much and rain is falling, rain is falling down
My stomach don't feel that great, maybe it's the donuts to replace you, you know all is falling, all is falling down
All is falling down... In here

If you would write about a book that you can't read
Why don't you love me no more?

Well I didn't see her as I was crossing the road, she interrupted my transport and well, now I'm no nihilist no more
And I didn't see you before I crossed that road, you would've censored my transport, well, now you're no nihilist no more
And the lawyer was bold as she read up my will, she concluded by saying, well, that's she's no nihilist no more
And when you heard those words and that I was a bird, you would remember my aura and you'll be no nihilist no more
Good thing I collected those cremation coupons
And when I would go home just to be all alone, you would oil my vessel and, now I'm no nihilist no more
Now they're digging my grave, so they're pulling out grass, all to make room for my vessel, well, they'll be no nihilists no more
Now you're drinking in June, you'll drink yourself to your tomb, soon you'll remember my aura when you'll be no nihilist no more
And I'm sorry you're sad, but being sorry is bad, so I'll censor my ego and I'll be no nihilist no more
