it’s something you’ve never seen before
something you’ve never seen at all
but it has always been at the core
always under your shopping mall
it’s something you’ve never seen before
something you’ve never seen at all
come and take it as it hits the shore
never secure in your atoll

Hoax
00:54
|
|||
|
i saw some fairies in my backyard
my boss made me wash his feet
i had a dream in the middle of the night
that I plunged them into concrete
i don’t believe the hoax

Centaur Girlfriend
01:17
|
|||
|
I’m gonna be your
centaur girlfriend
i’ll take you up
on my saddle
i will walk
to the ends of the earth
so I can
get the paddle
but be within reason
i don’t get the scintillation
i knew you in high school
you deserve incineration
won’t open my lips
without an expectation
that what’ll pass through
will ease all my frustration
|

Turn to Stone
01:05
|
|||
|
look at me once and i’ll turn you to stone
look at me twice and i’ll look at my phone
I don’t have any convictions
turn to stone at sight of friction

Angel in My Outfield
00:55
|
|||
|
they made you weak in the afterlife
weaken the afterlife
will you be the angel in my outfield
never there in time
but always on my side
you deride you deny
they made you weak in the afterlife
weaken the afterlife

Cyclops
00:59
|
|||
|
all seeing eye
I don’t mind
say my skull
is lead lined
can’t be shaken
can’t be swayed
can’t make contact
can’t be played
i saw the cyclops
only has one to close
half the work of the double
but twice the view of the coast
|

Call the Siren
00:39
|
|||
|
call the siren
she won’t answer
i’m a human
I’m a cancer
I’m a pisces
I can’t swim
patrol the water
get me skimmed
off the top
like i'm too risqué
call the siren
she blocks my number
i’ve got no tail
but i’m encumbered
no food for thought
i’m food for whales
no dive in ocean
die in wrong jail
won’t be main attraction
die a matinee
|

Ogre
01:25
|
|||
|
an ogre stands before me
and I can’t make it disappear
don’t want them to run away
for the campaign to get smeared
and no context will be needed when the crucifix is clutched
my skin will burn for everyone as soon as it is touched
|
||||
9. |
||||
|
the bolts in my neck ache
gonna get burned at the stake
the stakes high since high school
class thrown in a betting pool
“we’re screwed”
don’t be rude!
i’m afraid of the fire, fire, fire
the fire has been here
since i was a child
living off the back of a truck
as it races through a wild
fire, fire, fire
|

nessie, stick your neck out for me
i don’t think that i can remain
you haven’t come around in so long
and I don’t wanna face this refrain
bold bandage
holy healer
i’ve been sold the strength
by a cheap dealer
nessie, stick your neck out for me
I don’t think that I can remain
I don’t think I’ve ever seen you
it’s getting kind of hard to explain
precious pocket
electric socket
won’t bless the hand
when you can clock it

I Was the Doppelgänger
01:13
|
|||
|
i was the doppelganger
and lived a life in practice
hold for presentable pillar
was always hugging a cactus
the smell is faint
drink paint
I was your silent student
you taught me nothing at all
except you’re equally helpless
and standing just as small
the smell is faint
drink paint
shoot me out of the canon
i was never your saint
|

Bloody Mary
00:47
|
|||
|
bloody mary
doesn’t want to
come to the mirror
not the madonna
bloody mary
likes marijuana
takes her feet off
the piranhas
out of body
see no reflection
there’s no person
no detection
crystal living
with no inflection
unless you’re looking
for a correction

haha he called me a harbinger
as though he wasn’t standing in a shadow
i went for a walk around the block
so now i’m what’s throwing off the tableau
that’s right
i’m gonna summon four horsemen
i have them on speed dial
i’m gonna eat your babies
i’m gonna use your nail file
i’m gonna burn your ancestors
and lay down on the pile
i’m gonna come to your neighborhood
i’m gonna steal your lifestyle
haha he called me a harbinger
as though my life started right there
lived in isolation for so long
thought that my model was rare
that’s right
I’m another once in a lifetime
I’m another year off the end
I’m another drop in the future
I’m just a passing trend
I’m gonna leave your houses
won’t have any time to spend
who’s gonna be the harbinger
I’m gonna start to bend

Werewolf Stunt
01:07
|
|||
|
you think i’m shaken by your werewolf stunt
i’m too old for this
how bold of you to think i notice the hunt
to give a shit after you cut my wrists
I get higher def, man
when I get sharpened
my new heart
will never harden
your werewolf stunt will not thrive
i won’t allow it
|

of cursed cursed certainty
and get scared when you have to act

the image of my info gives me
OK to peruse

I Wish I Was A Vampire
00:43
|
|||
|
i wish i was a vampire
i could live forever
i wish i was a vampire
i’d be untethered
i wish i was a vampire
i’d live loosely
i wish i was a vampire
would you choose me

|

Zombie
01:48
|
|||
|
don’t touch me
tear me to pieces
i want an itinerary
i want something that never ceases
who wants flesh
who wants dough
"you cannot pin it down"
it never goes to show
i went to bed with a zombie
too little brain
to give me some
must've been stuck
on the chewing gum
or was it cud
I see blood
he could turn any minute
he could choke me in the mud
i went to bed with a zombie
|

do you smell something?
behind the bar tonight?
look it’s blushing
does it want a fight?
can’t come in
doesn’t match our height
let’s kill some time
before I catch my flight
flatwoods monster
hope you prosper
fist the boxer
need a sponsor?

I'm a Bigfoot
00:24
|
|||
|
bigfoot bigfoot i’m a bigfoot
stand in front of the forest
like there’s no one watching watching
i’ll do a press tour but
like flies they are dropping dropping
bigfoot bigfoot i’m a bigfoot

Cauldron
00:48
|
|||
|
I told her
at the penitentiary
"I’m not getting out"
and she said “that’s fine
I don’t need you
I think that you’re a sellout”
I don’t know why
she thinks it’s wrong
but my family gave me money
and they said it’s a song
she said “look into my cauldron"
|
||||
22. |
||||
|
I can't keep track of you, baby
|
||||
23. |
||||
|
it will come out in the heat
and rise from below
we’ll be dead by megalodons
it’s how we deserve to go
i’ll be looking in the wave
to be carried to the grave
E-A-T-A-C-E-O, hey

Wendigo-go
00:48
|
|||
|
no time to close up
when it’s a wendigo-go
i am tearing door off hinges
no time to take my photo
you took it and posted it
without my permission
see myself at that angle
stinks of sedition
I want flesh
I want it
