simple things (#5)

the simplest things endure
and the simplest things ensure
that we are all in for a change

the complex toys you horde
and the complex lives you forge
say that we are all against a change

so grab your picket signs
dress it up in words and funny rhymes
and tell yourself these simple things
just won't endure
and can't ensure
and that's what complex things are for

to regulate the wine
to keep your bank book in line
they say it'll be fine
if you keep your complex design

so embrace your confusions
and embrace your delusions
of these complex needs
to fill your complex dreams
to make it simple again

track skip #1

you make me complete

you make me completely

ya got to pay to say
it's just a game we play
but i can't feel a thing anymore

and when you're here, it's so unclear in the car
where we veer and steer from the bar
it's in the rear view mirror with all the beer
and all i hear, ringing in my ear is
i can't feel a thing anymore

songs

everybody's singing madder songs
and nobody wants to get along
everybody's singing different songs
and its wrong
cause people can't deal
when the shit gets real

so this is it
throw a fit
and you quit

but don't ignore
anymore
this is war

so raise your fist
and get pissed
at the goverment's list

but what are you fighting for?
is it even worth fighting for?

everybody's singing sadder songs
and nobody wants to sing along
everybody's singing different songs
and it's wrong
cause we're so full of doubt
since the hope ran out

you lack the drive
to survive
in your daily life

so reform
and conform
to your local norm

you're not yourself
and gaining wealth
but hurting your health

so what are you crying for?
is it even worth crying for?

i'm gonna try and sing a better song
i don't expect you to sing along
i'm gonna sing a different song
but it'll turn out wrong
cause people tend to fear
what they don't wanna hear

so what am i trying for?
is it even worth trying for?
no it's not worth trying for

it's not worth fighting for
it's not worth crying for
it's not worth it anymore

bed heads (#7)

lets take nyquil
and stay awake
we'll play with power tools
that we got from flea markets
we'll play with chem sets
that we got from yard sales
we'll try to make a way
that we both can sleep all day

so load up the back seat
with blankets and pillows
we'll drive until we crash
and can not last no longer

we don't sleep in silence
we don't sleep at all
we can't rest our weary heads
unless we're under heavy meds
we dream of nothing
unless meds decide to bring

technicolored dream scapes
that we can't escape
it takes a week of nyquil
but it's worth the wait

a song for ghosts about songs about songs for ghosts

but he got the final laugh

cause he haunts her everyday
he haunts her everyday
he wouldn't miss a single day
the bitch had it coming
and she better start running
but it's gonna happen anyway

cause he haunts her everyday
he haunts her everyday
he's tormented her in every way
she apologized to him
for every little sin
but it's gonna happen anyway

a collection of undone lyrics

1. Rat Race
under hot suns
they're like hot guns, they're like hot guns
and your crimes will show
they're benign though they'll grow so

don't be afraid
of the rat race
just keep your pace
in the rat race, in the rat race

in the ra-a-a-a-a-a-a-a
rat race
you're in the rat race

so come on down
bring your cold knives, bring your cold lives

2. Hand Rolled Cigarette
and your hand rolled cigarette
and i bet
it's laced with something fine
and i be
on your hand rolled cigarette

3. Pretty Lil' Bombs
your bombs, your bombs
your pretty lil' bombs a secret
you're never gonna keep it safe enough
so hope to god
that no one knows there bombs
pretty lil' bombs
yea hope to god
that no one pulls the pins on your pretty lil' bombs

4. Parking Garage
another night stuck in the parking garage
i'm lost and my head's feeling large
from 150 things on my mind
and i can't seem to find any out sign

5. The Simplest Thing
the simplest things endure
the simplest things ensure
that we are all against a change

the complex toys we horde
the complex lives we forge
say we are all against a change

so grab your picket signs
dress it up in words and funny rhymes
and tell yourself these simple things
can not endure
they won't ensure
and that's what complex things are for

to regulate the wine
to keep your bank book in line

6. Do or Die
you've never seen a man with a gun in his hand
and you don't know what to do
when he bares on the trigger with his hair pin trigger
and the bullets coming for you

it's do or die

7. Sleep High
lets take nyquil
and stay awake
we'll play with power tools
that we got from flea markets
we'll play with chem sets
that we got from yard sales

8. Loner
i'm making funny faces in the mirror
trying to cheer myself up now
i've got myself into a mess
and i don't know how

trying to convince myself i'm
some kind of strong

but i could be wrong
yea i could be wrong

i'm not suited to be on my own
it's just not me to be all alone
i don't fill that bill
i don't fit the crowd
