Drunk in the basement
feeling sorry for myself
Drinking all the precious liquid
'til there's nothin on the shelf
It's just another Summer Bummer
heat perpetuates the thirst
My throat is cracking from the dryness
in the winter it gets worse >
Drunk in the basement
leavin voicemails in the dark
All I can think to do is call you
but you never give a fuck
Then I wake up in the morning
don't remember what I've done
Put some Bailey's in my coffee
summer's only just begun >
Its just another...(SUMMER BUMMER)

They Keep on Leaving

I can't tell you how long
she's been running through my thought-space
But it's strange, now i'm home
oh the difference a year makes
The eyes are dimming
smiles thinning til they're gone
They keep on leaving
they keep on leaving me alone
Such a bittersweet song
Couldn't stop myself from hummin'
But it's strange now she's gone
how the words just aren't coming
The eyes are dimming
smiles thinning til they're gone
They keep on leaving
they keep on leaving me alone (ad nauseum)

Touch

I just wanna touch you
Just want to know you're there
I've been thinking about you
Been feeling so insecure
Whats the social protocol
when I feel nothing
when I feel nothing at all?
Sometimes when I'm sleeping
My mind gets caught unawares
It conjures up colors
and fills in what isn't there
Like some kind of dream sequence
with tie-dye and curly hair
when I wake up without you
I breathe in that empty air
Whats the social protocol
when I feel nothing
when I feel nothing at all?

Trouble at Home
02:44

Mommy and Daddy never used to fight
now it's every night
Cursing each other under Christmas lights
in the wintertime
It's so sad
Caught between Mom and Dad
You feel bad
the bottle is open wide
Used to pop Xannies just to fall asleep
now they're all I eat
I'm not even trying to be discreet
I admit defeat
It's getting bad
Can't just tell mom and dad
You feel bad
The bottle is open wide
You're gonna be just fine
You know you'll be alright

Meditation
03:25
|
|||
|
I'm stressing out
Seems all so pointless now
Need someone to show me how
To clear my mind
of what feels important
it's so easily forgotten
so easily forgotten
not that easily forgotten
It's Saturday
I'm living in the future
Hold up a second this is not the image
I had envisioned
through my meditation
it looked a little different
I'm heading home
My family's watching
the television I wanna tell them
I can't fucking stand them
need some meditation
Some cosmic intervention.

Anxious Acid
04:17

Did you get what you wanted?
Cuz the look on your face is a portrait of disappointment
What are you hiding from?
You've done nothing wrong
Where are you trying to go?
You could've asked for more
Spitting up bits of chewed up food
the taste of desperation
Anxious Acid turns to puke
the stink of resignation, oh no
Oh not again.
I swallow, swallow, swallow, swallow
but it makes no difference at all
I try and try and try to figure out what's wrong
but it's all I can do just to hold on.
Spitting up bits of chewed up food
the taste of desperation
Anxious Acid turns to puke
the stink of resignation, oh no
Oh not again.
