LYRICS Focus Groups
Focus Groups
What if… after…
we die, we all get planets to ourselves
And what if… a human…
could body the control over the chunk of anything
And why must you cry?
blow a kiss and say goodbye,
a thousand times.
When I’m too late,
and your too soon,
we entertain the focus groups
The focus Groups
Agree that you
Are so grand
Silly… Creatures…
Self-appointed gurus with a mind behind our face.
Which by… the way…
Is an enormous fucking rarity in space.
But why must you cry?
Blow a kiss and say goodbye,
a thousand times.
When I’m too late,
and your too soon
We entertain the focus groups
Cause the focus Groups
Agree that you
Are so grand
But just stupid enough to not see it
So why must you cry,
singin yo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Maybe when we’re older we can
find the place where older people
go to make the best of all this
fallin down the stairway all alone.
It’s just too far away love
So go home and sleep tight.
Wake up in the morning go do everything again.
Drinking and Netflix:
What if it doesn’t get better than this?
LYRICS make me stay
Make Me Stay
All or nothing jams the door
Save nothing else for nothing more
Different ways to make a life
Back and forth without the time
Up and down without a tide
What to do with all your time
What to make of all the space
Raise your arms but curl your legs
And you’re gonna make me stay
You’re gonna make me stay
Oh you’re gonna make me stay
You’re gonna make me stay
Who said your time was yours to waste
Who said our food was your’s to taste
Who said your father made your eyes
So you could watch him as he dies
Smell the sheets where he once lay
Hear his voice from younger days
Watch the cycle creep along
Watch the passion leave your face
Oh you're gonna make me stay
You’re gonna make me stay
Oh you’re gonna make me stay
You’re gonna make me stay
But what if you forget to say?
Say goodbye before you go
Say goodbye before you go (X2)
Tell her everything’s okay
Tell her everyday you’d always fuckin love her
She’d give you reasons you should stay
She told you everyday she’d always fuckin love you
But ain’t the words just yellow stains
Escape your mouth and stay on your lucky shirt forever
Photographs of past mistakes,
The masquerade of all the reasons why you never left her
Vibrant Way
False feet and dirty knees
I can feel my fortune fallin
Diggin or climbing trees
Whatever gets me out the farthest
Don’t know who’d hold on to me
Whoever does has major problems
But people are there for me
I’ve never once considered callin
Making promises and putting em down
Find out where it hurts and rub it around
I’m either hopeless or fucked But forgot to choose
I’m sure you never wanna see me again
Born and raised lovingly
No adversity to strengthen my name
With parents true and true
Naturally ill never repay
Maybe one day ill choose
To button up and head for the cold
No matter what comes to me
I only know to throw it away
Pissing people off all over the place
Being stupid in a vibrant way
I’m either hopeless or fucked But forgot to choose
I’m sure you never Oh im sure you never
Cause lately I can’t escape the blues
And hello My love bring me back
And hello My love bring me back
And hello My love bring me back
And hello My love bring me back
LYRICS Vibrant Way
LYRICS find the priest
Find The Priest
Don’t know if it’s something wrong
Or just something new
Cause temptation and loneliness
Have got my head confused
But lately I look around
And all I see is you
Maybe I’m just really high
Or maybe it’s the booze
[CHORUS]
But maybe we could settle down
Please tell me there’s a priest somewhere in the room
Monday we could hit the ground
And Tuesday I’ll forget what I liked about you
We’ll fuck in rooms with dimmer light
Work from 9 to 5, till 10 o’clock we fight
Tell everyone to stay away
We’ll hide our insecurities, and call each other bae
And humans don’t belong
In the same room
For longer than half an hour
And less if it’s a full moon
But somehow I’ve come around
To make mistakes for you
If people think I’m oblivious
Then how dumb does that make you?
[CHORUS]
LYRICS ex is gone
Ex Is Gone
The ex is gone
Walks down the hall
Before you leave
Its not your fault
Look back at me
I’ll trace the wall
Before you leave
You’re beautiful
[CHORUS]
Your’re heart will burn
Like crimson coal
And shimmer on
For your next Romeo
You’re good enough
You’re powerful
So when you’re gone
Please don’t waste it all
My sole regret
Is really not your fault
It’s all the things I didn’t know
About my self
I did my best
But I can’t walk you down the hall
No I can’t walk you down the hall
I think you’ve got to walk alone, but
[CHORUS]
Cause Emily who are you?
Not limited by me
Try to break rock bottom
And maybe then, you’ll see
The memories, I got em
Carved into oak street
The smell of an old bottle
Of candles and grated cheese
Cause this may be the hour Of new found love
Bash the Bishop all day
At the end of the hallway Is the door you choose
Can only be opened by you (3X)
LYRICS sand and pocket lint
Sand And Pocket Lint
Classic jokes and all the rest
You could bore me with your best
In your time, in my mind
But don’t pressure me to wear this hat
its too conventional a thing to do
With my life, and it’s my life
My values aren’t predictable
At illness wakes and death I laugh
It’s true, I do
Cherish sand and pocket lint
All my money it ain’t worth a cent
In your eyes, and your right
But I wont say my reasonin
My dreams are insignificant
This world, float away
Cause living in the light, I’ll shoot back at the sun
While my mind sits, and works in the shade
Sunburn skin will peel away
But my deepest thoughts are here to stay
Stay in the midst of all this average stuff
And maybe I’m a dick But it never feels like it’s enough
You said stick around oh darling Now you’ve held too tight
And as for second chances
All these second chances
And all these second chances
But its all we ever knew
Said it’s all we ever knew babe
Yeah it’s all we ever knew babe
So if you’re gonna make me make me
And if you’re gonna make me make me
And if you’re gonna try, if you’re gonna try
Maybe you should try X2
And maybe you should try
Maybe you should try
Maybe you should try
Yeah maybe you should try
And maybe you should try
Maybe you should try
Cause if you’re gonna try
You should fucking try Try-y-y
LYRICS illuminate me
Illuminate Me
You said that you had never seen what it was
You had never seen what it was
Despite all the action
Despite all the action
But I know you caught a glimpse of pain in the dust
Involuntary shame is boiling up
It’s just an episode of passion
But when I asked about the passion
You told me take a sip of soda
And look out where your stepping while we run
Despite all the action
You’re mom and dad will likely write it off
And maybe it’s a trajedy
And maybe it’s the good dyin young
But they cant hide it all forever
Oh yeah what happens when their big boy is all grown up
Cause there’s this crazy thing called google
Where I can look up all the shit that you wont spill
So is it better that you tell me?
Or am I gonna have to find out by myself?
I ruminate the sound
The gunshot screetching sound
Illuminate me now
Just tell me something now
Why did that hand come down
He’s pulling something out
Breathlessly reachin out
To the people in the crowd
No penalty right now
Just take us through just how
The shiny blood came down
And painted public grounds
With the same red that I see right now
Fills the empty space inside your eyes right now
Gleaming fountains of tears drop down
Just tell me what I’m missin we could work it out
Cause once you let it out
I’ll gain a new perspective on the screetching sound
And well I won’t sleep much till school gets out
But is it better for the kids if they don’t know it now?
Cause there’s just somthin’ bout the way it was
Something bout the way that it was
Why wont you tell me bout the action
It’s just an episode of passion love
LYRICS Summer Skin
Summer Skin
its all over dear
it’s all over dear
it’s all over dear
And its all over dear
Summer skin will fall apart
The blazing sun wont stay with me
Go outside to soak it up
Before the cool blue night’s breeze
Before the cool blue night’s breeze
[CHORUS]
Waking up in the night
summer skin blood shot eyes
Laying down in the road
Can we do this when we’re old?
Cause a man when he dreams
Is still in love with the steam
That rises up to the sky
And leaves him cold as he tries
To recognize what she said
When she said summer’s dead
If I’m alive then you’re wrong
But where the fuck has summer gone
Cause the last breeze flows through your window
The last cicada sings
The last turtle crossing the road
The last of the natural things
Cheeks flushed with life
Violet red from the sun
I wouldn’t leave this if you paid me
[CHORUS]
Cause its all over dear [4X]
Make it stay [3X]
Don’t fade away
LYRICS waiting room
Waiting Room
Two hearts in a room
Three days have gone
Searching for the answers
But it’s hard And then we have to lie awake
Fake cheerful moods
Don’t comfort you
When you know they’re supposed to
She’s just too hard
She’s just too hard to lose
[CHORUS]
When she’s laying there in the waiting room
Crumbled magazines
No reading makes it easier
For the clouds to come and take her
She’s laying there in the waiting room
For the words you cant believe
That simple phrase collapses you
“nothins gonna save her”
oooo (X4)
I’m asking you to
you to (3X)
To take the time to say
Whatever you will say its cool
Stand tall for the group
A strong salute
When she meets her creator
It’s just too hard
She’s just too hard lose
[CHORUS]
And the beeping and signs, on the screen won’t stay
It’ll be a flat line in just a little more time
She’s taking off unless they’ve found another way
There’s nothing left to make it worth another day
Cause it’s hard to do
Too hard to do
If it made me lose my mind
It’s terrifying for you too
Cause it’s hard to do Too hard to do
Who knew before you died
That I’d fold before I knew
If it made me lose my mind
It’s terrifying for you too
LYRICS raint song
Rainy Song
I’m gonna sing another rainy song
Someone come break me into flakes of stone
Cause not a single speck of dust would float
Your mother told you life would takes its toll
And someone else is, asking me to share the load
I’ll take this offer, this emotional episode
[PRECHORUS
And that’s how life goes.
You find a group of people to love.
And then, they die
So is it better to be empty, nothing gained and nothing lost
Or fill your life with people, just to miss ‘em in the end
Is it better for the girl who only wants to talk? No.
[CHORUS]
I’m gonna sing another rainy song
Humans are made to have a broken heart
But you’ve got nothing else to say child
When through the dust another day glows on
Cause it’s a wild wild world babe
And all you know’s the more friends you make
The more friends you’re gonna lose babe
Cause more love is more heartbreak
Be careful where you sing your rainy songs
Some people wanna stop and sing along
And spread the sorrow of a secret loss
Some people don’t know what it is at all
And someone else is, asking me to share the load
I’ll take this offer, this emotional episode
[CHORUS]
I’m gonna sing another rainy song
Because it’s always what I need
So don’t forget to put your game face on
When every motherfucking day goes wrong
I’m gonna sing another rainy song
Someone come break me into flakes, of stone
And not a single speck of dust would float
Your mother told you life would takes its toll
LYRICS dont you stop me
Don't You Stop Me
All the time,
He’s bending his own operations
But he tries and he tries,
To breath and hold on for dear life
And he shouts at his mind
You can hold me back from the world
But don’t you stop me now
Don’t you stop me, don’t you stop me now
Don’t you stop me, don’t you stop me now
And when thoughts come out,
I’ll runaway rather than face em
And it hollows me out,
Cause everyone next to me is fine
In desolate times
Go home and cry little girl, little girl
But don’t you stop me now
[CHORUS]
Go home and cry little girl, little girl
But don’t you stop me now
Don’t you stop, don’t you stop me now
Don’t you stop me, don’t you stop me now
Don’t you stop me, don’t you stop me now
Don’t you stop me, don’t you stop me now
LYRICS the drawer
The Drawer
Turn around, the drawer’s always halfway open
Reach down for the bottle that makes you golden
We’ve learned just one thing from years of coping
Don’t try to fix what’s forever broken
Hear sounds of blood hounds the pigs are snoopin
White walls but cant see across the room and
Tough life when nobody keeps a secret
Hot nights and stories of broken feet and
[PRECHORUS]
There’s nothing I could’ve done
So might as well have fun
And look into the drawer
And seeing as its done
I’ve got no other choice but to take the booze and run
[Chorus]
No sleep, the put down of education
Steel bars would give you the same sensation
Drugged out to stay down and keep on workin
Poison the way out for generations
Break down and envy the dead and dying
Now now, the future’s got finer dining
Look around at your classmates on autopilot
No point in trying to satisfy em
Cut ties to keep up cause things are changing
Abide by false rules and incantations
Nightime apartide will feel your sadness
Look back at the white crane you see him wavin
Boys fight and men hide out in the shadows
Feels right to feel like a superhero
Come time for testing the sand you’re made of
No fear, just hormones and muddy castles
[PRECHORUS]
[CHORUS]
Fake smiles, and handshakes and ugly laughter
Hang out, but stay on the second chapter
We always want things we’ll never treasure
Come clean but hurt me and thank me after
Sore heels and can’t shake the heavy breathin
Caught up to the same shit you’re always feelin
Fall down and nothing could stop you squealin
Hard times and deadlines have got you kneelin
He takes his time. He’s alright with the world
Grown men don’t cry. Just drink till you’re blind and unfold
I just can’t get by what you told me, you told me
Just wait for the better times.
From the corridors, to the basement doors
You waited all your life
LYRICS tired eys
Tired Eyes
The grass is red
When mother earth is fed
The soil stays rich, for the roots
They reach and grab their food
A pitch black hole is just as wide
The crescent moon still pulls the tide
You’re still alive when no one knows your name
We’re all one in the same
So take me break me hold me down
What do you have to lose
And oh how you’ve tried and tried
To hold open those tired eyes
The only way, you’ll ever ever get your wish
Is if its shooting through the skies
Your lips grow cold
As memory grows old
You’ve made the best of all this precious time
You’ve loved yourself, you’ve loved yourse-e-elf
So take me break me hold me down
What do you have to lose
So pull me over the wayside
and roll me under high tide
