A Statue in New Jersey

God, He said to me, there is a land that is free
Where I can safely raise my children
Between shining shores there lies a platinum land
Where all of our sins will be forgiven
So we stowed on silver ships and set sail for the dawn
But it turns out that god, He was lying
For leviathan rests just beneath the ocean waves
Now my brothers and sisters are all dying
And now I don't know if I'm allowed to come home...
Our captain was a man who said he was Christ
He swore that his Father had blessed us
But when the ship sunk at that sea monster's hands
It came out that he was only named Jesus
And now here we stand with our hearts in our hands
Trapped in the limbo of asylum
Nailed to our crosses, set out to sea
Forsaken by e pluribus unum
And now I don't know if I'm allowed to come home...

Sunday Morning Cartoons
07:23
|
|||
I wake up and the sun is not yet rising
Tossing and turning worrying about the price of insulin
And other assorted prescription remedies
The problem is I don't know who I can talk to
Living happily in liberal tragedy
Dying of preventable disease
Climb out of bed and the mirror is very frightening
You never know who could be watching
Every wet dream out there on the internet
Recorded through a taped-over laptop camera
I wake up and the sun is still shining
Is 2pm late enough?
I don't know
I'll get back in bed
Captain America takes a swing at Doctor Strange
They've gotten quite confused
At who's side they're supposed to be on anyways
You see Moriarty's back and as we knew he would
Is causing trouble in your neighborhood
So buy up every war bond to put bullets in your best friend's gun!
Captain Planet takes a shot at Dick Cheney
And Dick returns the firing act in a way that's very friendly
But I've seen this one before
Yes I know how this one ends
No one held accountable for all these damn reruns of Friends
How am I supposed to keep myself fed
When everything I touch is a carcinogen
And I'm told it's only an issue of attitude
There's traitors in blue and devils in red
While I'm just trying to get out of bed
With waffles in the shape of your favorite Sunday morning cartoons
Joseph McCarthy aims his sights at Lucille Ball
Screaming, "this one's because I don't like you very much at all!"
But how she got away still shocks experts to this day
Another fallen woman, disappointment to William Hayes
Wile E. plants a trap that meticulous coyote
Trying to catch someone in the act of admitting that they're lonely
But I don't think I'm supposed to be
The one who calls the cavalry
That's for a nation under God
With a born-again fear of atomic bombs
Would you like to understand
Where this whole damn mess began?
You see the Office Space crackerjacks were bored
Things were going a bit too well in their 401k prison cells
And they couldn't seem to take it anymore
So when Y2K came and went
Without so much as a clock reset
Chaotic dreams no longer kept
I swear they all fell down and wept
Then I looked inside myself
And I saw an empty wishing well
I thought it would be better than before
I was born September 12th
The year we took the batteries out
And lost what was once but never lost before
The 2K12 came and well
Nobody was judged or sent to hell
So we got up for another round
Then shut up by that ringing sound
Then it all comes crashing down
It all comes crashing dow-ow-ow-own
And I don't care
If God was really there
Can't be bothered
To get out of bed
At all

Pacing
02:23
|
|||
I can’t help this pacing
So hard to be somewhere
I’m getting so tired of lying still
Complain about changes
But its all just loose talk
Without bringing action out of will
The world outside is broken
So what does that make me?
You wanna be outspoken
But you can’t keep your room clean
Instead of sitting ‘round smoking
I might finally do something
But first, gotta get back on my feet
It’s right back to waiting
Just staring at the door
It’s better than lying to myself
No I don’t need saving
but I sure could use some help
To get the hell out of my sheets
The world outside is broken
So what does that make me?
You wanna be outspoken
But you can’t keep your room clean
Instead of sitting ‘round smoking
I might finally do something
But first, gotta get back on my feet
I can’t help what they say
But it don’t mean its all wrong
I’m not alone feeling this way

Self Care
03:12
|
|||
I'm much more well adjusted
Than I used to be in high school
Don't break down more than once a week
And I barely even cry
And I have been rotating
Between Tylenol and Advil
So I'll still have a functioning liver
By the time I reach 35
And I'm rationing out the weed 'till the end of the week
Then I'll take a T-break for a couple hours at least
Only taking more NyQuil 'till I actually fall asleep
It may not be too obvious
But I really am very healthy
Never broken a single bone
And my blood pumps normally
Plus I take days off sometimes
To look out for my sanity
Don't wanna risk cathin' a cold
When I'm almost out of codeine
And I'm rationing out the weed 'till the end of the week
Then I'll go out drinking to celebrate that sweet release
Only taking more NyQuil 'till I actually stay asleep
Come on!
Yeah pick it!
Don't you worry about me
I've got things under control now
Always try to get 8 hours of sleep
Though that only works sometimes
I have taken the advice that
My therapist has written down
Cut toxic things and people out of my life
Out of sight, but still in mind
And I'm weening off the weed 'till the end of the week
Then I won't by a gram more for another week at least
I'm running out of NyQuil and I'm afraid of being left alone with me
Yee-haw!

Disappearing Satellites
03:58
|
|||
I want to see where
The ocean meets the sky
They say there's a land there
Where the dead are still alive
And there's a lion waiting for me
Living in his gold and free country
Across cerulean where the rabbits go to sleep at night
With all the friends I used to see
Cradled in the arms of Persephone
Scanning all of the skies for disappearing satellites
But now I know that
The ocean marches by
The sky doesn't notice
They're just parallel lines
And there's nothing waiting for me
Living in the cold reality
Never gonna know where the rabbits go fall asleep at night
With all the people I used to be
Trying to explain away mystery
There's still nothing I can say for disappearing satellites
I buried my compass
In the dust pile on the shelf
No picture in a spyglass
Can save me from myself
Can't save me from myself

Late Night Jimmy
01:40
|
|||
Flip the channel over he's at his bullshit again
He's got the number one house band and famous friends
He'll fluff you up for ratings then tear you to shreds
He's a wendigo stealing someone else's skin
He's the one who tells us we're insane
Insists we're morally the same
Except we're worse because he knows
He's Late Night Jimmy and he's full of it
Late Night Jimmy he's a hypocrite
Late Night Jimmy and he's going to fuck you up
It's not right
He's alright
He's alright

Save a Spot for Me!
02:10
|

They say that earth is really dying!
Well what do they know, I say everything is just fine
Miami's going underwater!
But that's okay, we'll just swim while the earth gets hotter
Atlantis lost no more
And I call dibs on being crowned king Namor
Sounds like some terrible dream
But I'll be fine living in a private submarine
Won't you please
Come stand with me
And keep our oceans
Safe and green
Let somebody
Know you’re there
Let cries ring out
Through the atmosphere!
They say the water’s full of plastic
But that’s alright you see that humans are a hearty race
Just need a mental gymnastic
If the water gets to warm we’ll just go into outer space!
Elon, save a spot for me!
Elon, save a spot for me!
Elon, save a spot for -
Just realized I’ve been lying
I think we’re almost out of time
Won’t you please
Come walk by me
And keep our beaches
Nice and clean
Let the planet
Know you care
And save a home
For a polar bear!

Columbine Kids (Loud)
03:56
|
|||
Children go to war every single morning
Waking up at 5 am
The world is weighing heavy in the backpacks on their shoulders
They don't have a moment to breathe in hell
Sleeping in first period dozing through the second
Barely even woken by the sound of guns
Hearts are beating quickly in the face of their mortality
So you just pray that this will be the last one
Don't listen closely or you'll go deaf baby
Cuz we're all Columbine kids now
We're all Columbine kids now
So send those kids to war I'm sure that they'll be grateful
That you think about them so damn much
Stress and pain and acne and
Girls and boys and track team
Isn't hard enough already
Without being passed over for the
National Rifle Association
Kill them once with words then kill them twice with bullets
Kill them one more time with neglect and drugs
Bless the ones who stand up and say
We aren't the problem
Or video games or culture
Just your pockets full of money stained in blood
Don't listen closely or you'll drop dead baby
Cuz I'm gonna be loud
I'm gonna be loud
I'm gonna be loud
I'm gonna be loud
I'm gonna be loud
I'm gonna be loud
I'm gonna be loud
I'm gonna be loud
Last night I went to bed the whole wide world was broken in my arms

Our unoriginal sin
Just want to live
But the worlds about to give
Tell us we’re going to hell
We know too well
No one dreams in a prison cell
You all dressed in white,
Don’t really have to put up a fight
Spend all night washing your hands
forget your clothes, the walls, the water runs red
Catch me running out of time
And you know why
Can’t spend my whole life inside
Don’t worry about no one else
Gotta help yourself
You got your own problems to quell
You, you call yourself right
but you don’t have to watch out at night
Do you really think that this shit is fair
Its easier to pretend you’re scared
You wake up in the morning
Put on your suit and tie
Kiss your stand-in wife
and then tip her a five
Don’t you work too hard
Or your hair will get thin
We need you looking spiffy
For the swamp that we’re in
And you (all dressed in lies)
barely coherent enough to testify
And you (god knows you’ve tried)
Can’t pull the wool o’er everyone’s eyes
(Captain Plastic so fantastic)
Please don’t wrap me up in your cellophane
(So ecstatic and semi automatic)
Write me up as a statistic and then store me away
Don’t worry about
The failing public health
You can feed them with McDonald's
From your personal wealth
Just stay out of trouble
And you’ll be just fine
They say their favorite color’s
Among red blue and white
You (what can you say)
Stow all your loudest problems away
Smile (over amber waves of grain) and
God bless the USA!
God bless the USA!
God bless the USA!

Upstate Heaven
06:42
|
|||
Saw you floating on the corner with a quarter of grass
I didn't think, "very enticing" but I did notice your ass
Hike my skirt up high so you can see I'm still something that resembles alive
Though I'm sure you're quite impressed
Well we both know we're just here to get high
Now your wings are getting caught in between the arm rests
Halo's shining light into my eyes from the sunset
I'll gladly do this driving but don't you expect anything coming your way hun
Cuz I'm not trying to love you I just wanna cum
I'm not trying to love you I just wanna cum
I'm not trying to roll over into a ditch
Someone else is playing Caesar
Someone else is writing Gita
Someone else counts up the bets while I'm trying best to please ya
Someone else please be Mark Twain
I don't wanna feel the shame
Some random with a pistol asks for cash outside the 7/11
But no one brings you home from upstate heaven
The exits don't have numbers so I just try my luck
The street signs don't have names so it looks like we're fucked
While you're just sitting pretty under your gown hides
Something that looks an awful lot like a gun
But I never seem to notice so I'm taking every day as it comes
The pearly gates were closed so we're taking a detour
The GPS won't help and the astrology won't either
Toss the tarot deck out of the window on the passenger side
Cuz I ain't much one for living but I don't wanna die
Ain't much one for living but I don't wanna die
Ain't much about 84 that keeps my attention
Someone else is playing Caesar
Someone else is writing Gita
Someone else counts up the bets while I'm trying best to please ya
Someone else please be Mark Twain
I don't wanna feel the shame
Some random with a pistol asks for cash outside the 7/11
But no one brings you home from upstate heaven
No one brings you home
No one brings you home
No one brings you home
In upstate heaven there's so much to know
There lies a lamb who waits for you to show
It cries so gently as time marches on its way to you
Count the missing sections of the fence
And talk to yourself like there's an audience
Your angel watches as you lose control its true
Then you drive off the cliff like a TV star
In your favorite pass-time 'till noon
Dozing off with eyes fixed upon
That Sunday morning cartoon
Oo-wa-la-la shang-a-lang
Oo-wa-la-la shang-a-lang
Oo-wa-la-la shang-a-lang
Oo
Last time on Dragon Ball Z our champions were fading
Confused by the American dream they began to be self-hating
But the seven seals were all dressed up swell
Like Monopoly money in a wishing well
So pay your respects when we reach downtown heaven
Cuz we're never getting past --------- ------
Captain America please hear my prayer
I haven't felt safe in months and I'm getting kinda scraed
Don't pass over me I've been as good as I can be
So when I die before I wake
Please promise me you won't forget my name

無常感
04:17

The air is a little more plentiful now
Yet lead lines my lungs and keeps me from reaching
The weight of reality shakes me awake
I blink and I wonder who made the mistake
The rivulets run down your face anyhow
These cracks in your skin as emotions are leaching
Can we pick ourselves up and fight till the dawn?
(Or is it) hard enough remembering who is gone?
Oh, the wind blows hard anyway,
No, pine trees aren't green every day,
I heal no faster than I forget to pray,
For you
It wasn't what you said that set the wheels a-turning,
The candles of our lives will never stop burning,
Just remember me when I said I would be
the best for you
Time heals all wounds, except for those who feel it,
and people try their hardest to forget what is real,
it's difficult, but someday, we'll all disappear too,
So let me do this for you
I'm nervous, alone, and there's ice in my veins,
I barely remember what happiness feels like
I look up to God as the world spins to black,
The choices I made, and I cannot go back
But the last thing I see, amongst all of my pains,
Is the brightest of smiles, your face almost dreamlike
I send thanks to God for giving me you,
And perhaps when I'm gone you will save someone too
Oh, the wind blows harder anyway,
And no pine tree can be green every day,
I heal no faster, but I still try to pray,
For you
It wasn't what you said that set the wheels a-turning,
The candles of our lives will never stop burning,
Just remember me when I said I would be
the best for you
Time heals all wounds, except for those who feel it,
and people try their hardest to forget what is real,
it's difficult, but someday, we'll all disappear too,
So let me do this for you
You were the greatest thing I've ever cared for
I watched you grow faster than I had prepared for
You've taken my place, so I must let you go
To do the same things only parents would know
Pick yourself up, you've got family waiting
You're not alone, your light isn't fading
Promise me now you will fight 'til the end
And so I shall go, but I'll always be your friend
And I know
Though I go
You will grow

Don't Dance to this Song
04:56
|
|||
It was 2016 when the world went to shit
We were all sting young, healthy and hip
Now we all just fade away
A generation lost in time
We don't like to vote or smoke or fall in line
Unless we're dealing with pot
We all seem to really love pot
We're desensitized to love from too much porn
We're all bleeding out but we're still warm
At least I think this is my blood
We're violently depressed we believe
Our planet has regressed
But we still got Late Night Jimmy on our side
How are we supposed to fall in love
When you're prone to static shock
From the hilltops we hear freedom ringing
You can hear the people singing
"Don't you dare dance to this song
You aren't meant to live these lyrics
You're forbidden from singing along
Don't you dare dance to this tune
If you've ever felt afraid lying awake at night
This song is not for you"
Well its 2020 now and the world is still shit
And I don't remember whose fault it is
Probably everyone's
We've shut down every circus and zoo
Sure there are kids in cages but at least we freed Shamu
And your conscience too
We're all burnt out from this legal weed
All choked up from all the possibilities
Drag me ashore
Now my life is almost over
And there hasn't been a single song worth getting fucked up over
I'm so bored
You just wanted to have a good time
Did need neo-fascists in your face
From the hilltops we hear freedom ringing
You can hear the people singing
"Don't you dare dance to this song
You aren't meant to live these lyrics
You're forbidden from singing along
Don't you dare dance to this tune
If you've ever felt afraid lying awake at night
This song is not for you"
And I get it
I fought too hard
I know what its like to be a fallen star
Drowning in what's beyond control
The gravity
Hold me close and dance real slow
We don't know what tomorrow knows
Or what it was supposed to be
The gravity
The planets are all misaligned
We're falling through a broken time
Dragged down by something we can't see
The gravity
This isn't what we were meant to be I don't -
Lay low and
Don't you dare dance to this song
Don't you dare dance to this song
"Don't you dare dance to this song
You aren't meant to live these lyrics
You're forbidden from singing along
Don't you dare dance to this tune
If you've ever felt afraid lying awake at night
This song is not for you"
