Rolling down the avenue
It’s dark and my headlights are through
My life flashes before my eyes
But somehow I arrive
Maybe I’ll just wait till sunrise
Drive home with my sunken eyes wide
Try so hard i flip the car
And wake up in a gurney
Tell my momma that I love her
See you dad above the thunder
Let this be a lesson children
Nothing lasts forever
Sometimes i forget that nothing matters
Every pitter every patter
Let it fill me up with laughter
Send my crying up the ladder
Getting higher
getting higher In the sky
Until i tumble to the ocean
Sink so low i touch the bottom
It’s creeping up inside of me
The panic at a fallen leaf
I don’t remember
what is tender
Is this just what it means
To be a part of the machine
It’s not so nice to be so mean
The sky was blue but now it’s green
Sometimes i forget that nothing matters
Every pitter every patter
Let it fill me up with laughter
Send my crying up the ladder
Getting higher
getting higher In the sky
Until i tumble to the ocean
Sink so low i touch the bottom

But I Want More

Lost all my will
When i checked in at the door
Wrote my name
Took a pill
And never left the goddamn floor
Now I’m calling for you
Cause it’s all that I can do
When I’m living in this glue
Scabs on my knees
And the bumps on my head
Haven’t felt any breeze
Am I drunk or am I dead?
Cause I’m clawing for a breath
Dying just like they said
Losing life on this bed
They take off all my clothes
Then they wash my body head to toe
Then they feed me like a little child
With food so soft so I don’t choke
Then the tv talks to me all day
So i keep my mouth shut
And watch the wind pick up the leaves
From my little window
But I want more
But I want more
But I want more
But I want more
I’m a gambling man
And i don’t give a damn
If the water dried up
I’ll just swim in the sand
If you gave me a dollar
I’d make it a grand
Then i’d use it all up
before we could get banned
cause I don’t give a damn
And I’ll take what I can
Cause I am who I am
They take off all my clothes
Then they wash my body head to toe
Then they feed me like a little child
With food so soft so I don’t choke
Then the tv talks to me all day
So i keep my mouth shut
And watch the wind pick up the leaves
From my little window
But I want more
But I want more
But I want more
But I want more
Run till they catch me falling
Down by the highway sidewalk
Off to the blue casino
To buy my life back
I’m coming up again
I’m coming up again
I’m coming up again
I’m coming up again

I’m alive now
All of the time
I’m alive now
All of the time
I’m alive now
All of the time
I’m alive now
All of the time
Hold me down with a razor
Pick me up again like a savior
Am I man enough to contain her
When she’s falling down
We go down
We go down
I don’t know what they told you
When i was crawling out through the window
With my heavy heart on my shoulder
Following the light
We go back again like a soldier
Carrying the weight of god till we’re choking
From the heavy heart that we swallowed
Following the light
I’m alive
In my life
I’m alive
All of the time
I’m alive now
All of the time
I’m alive now
All of the time

Woman
Flying
Over her parade
Where everybody says her name
And sings a song
So they can say
It won’t be long before the
Warm air
Leaves her body
Takes her where the happy hour
Doesn’t start at 5
They pop champagne
The whole damn time
And watch our sorry asses
Climb to meet them
Woman, I don’t know a thing about your life
Drawing the lines too afraid to take a bite
Woman, I don’t know a thing about your life
I don’t know how I could ever make it right
Woman, a difficult woman
Kicking up her feet, outliving all the good men
Momma, of difficult children
Gotta be a bad bitch if you wanna get to heaven
We come around, try to make sound before we go quiet
Million days to forget to say that I want to know you
My day will come and I’ll look around and I’ll know why I have come
Don’t look up cause there’s blood in my cup, I am decided
I’m decided
I’m decided
I’m excited
I’m excited

Wouldn’t put it above me
I would wrap your cold hands around me
Let you lick me like honey
Roll my eyes to the back of my head
Do you wanna know something?
In the dark I pretend that I’m dead
Wouldn’t put it above me
Roll my eyes to the back of my head
I’m a petrified lover
I’ma take you down under
I’m a petrified lover
I’m a petrified lover
Don’t you want to be like me?
On top of the world
I’m catching all the fish in the sea
I’m gonna take them to my house
And fry them up
With some rice and beans
After i detach the bones from the body
Where they thought they knew what they were up to
I’m gonna take off the skin and dine with the children
And teach them what they need to learn
I don’t give a fuck if you’re walking away
I’m gonna fry all the fish in the sea
And i’m gonna eat them up with some rice and beans
I drink a glass of wine
I’m smacking my lips and grinding my teeth
Cause i got what i want, i got what i need
I fried all the fish in the motherfucking sea

Perfect World

Slowly, slowly
I'm gonna lie to you
I'm gonna lie to you
It's all that I do
It's all that I do
Hiding my head in the sand
I am none but a man
With the world in my hands
It's a beautiful land
And I plan to expand
And I don't give a damn
It's a perfect world and I'm murdering my children
It's a perfect world and I just surpassed a billion
And my skin is glowing from this baby's blood
Buildings are burning and I don't give a fuck
Cause I'm a man with a plan
And a hole in my heart
And I'll smoke this cigar
And I'll tear this world apart
If there's a billion people
Looking at me
Then momma would be proud of me
I'm quite a sight to see
It's a perfect world and I'm murdering my children
It's a perfect world and I just surpassed a billion
And my skin is glowing from this baby's blood
Buildings are burning and I don't give a fuck

Burning Up

Bright eyed and your burning up
The sun is out but your door is shut
Your belly holds the universe
She’ll come again when your lips are pursed
You don’t go in the living room
The floor’s too crooked to hold you
The water doesn’t warm you up
The mold is getting thick
Speed up now, better get up high
The lights won’t work and you don’t know why
The clawing on your windowpane
Is making you feel sick
Candy coated, paralyzed
You knock the candle on it’s side
The windows won’t let light in
You hold your head up, walk away
Burn down the houses on your way
The windows won’t let light in
