Old Children and Young 04:13
lyrics

Know that I don’t take this lightly More than just a little thorn in my side Oh, how I deride this position I’m in With this frost bitten grin on my face I’ve been daydreaming, my mind astray Brooding in a cosmic headspace The three orders intertwined, My ego isn’t mine The death of all I cared about Visible when the sun is down And I can’t talk about it I can’t talk about it The ID, the drive, the principles All gone, no more, it’s miserable And I can’t think about it I can’t think about it No, I can’t make a decision And I’ve put some thought into it this time And oh, how I deride this position I’m in When you exited off stage right. We are all alone Old children and young Bitter to the bone We fall, we fall, we fall

Teacher is Ded 04:17

He’s got a thrift store bought pet rock on his mantle A memento of a girl who lived his way He can see clearly now her legs, her teeth, her hair But the pet rock he just sits, and he stares Cause there’s not much to see within these four grey walls A pinup of a woman who’s writhing on the floor And there’s a guy down the hall who murdered his grandpa But he’ll get out before us cause of his behaviour He’s got a thrift store bought pet rock On his mantel top, it’s falls off And reminds him of The crushing weight That a stone can make When swung down with in anger When the crowd gathered round he broke down in an instant What a nice young man they all thought he was He can see clearly now her legs, her teeth, her hair And a glazed look in her eyes as she just lay there and stared. Blood stained from the bottom to the top There’s still a mark on the wall from where it all kicked off He was in the news for at least three weeks And that rock still asks how that boy can sleep

What you saw is not what’s wrong So keep your head, it get’s much worse Shuffling, fucking through your living Never seemed to feel too Pretty Learn nothing from your parents Don’t look back and don’t you blame them Don’t hold your breath for change to come It’s not your fault, the damage is done Love the smell of a new city Don’t stay long and don’t get comfy Picture faces on that jury Everybody knows what you did You don’t know me like how I know you Let me show you what you’re in for Man is doomed of this I know but one more life don’t matter that much How much longer can you do this? All your youth and all your privilege Keep on travelling, keep on shifting Don’t you stop until they get you You don’t know me like how I know you Let me show you what you’re in for

Shimmer IRL (feat. Ally McNaughton) 05:34
lyrics

The gong bangs for us, the guillotine comes down. The fuse that was our candle blows up our former selves The animals in the zoo wont know what to do when the gates are flung open and neither will you. The animals in the zoo wont know what to do when the gates are flung open and neither will you. Rootless, born again Never to be tamed Wandering down corridors looking for the exit sign But who will tend these fires that cut through the land? Wandering down corridors looking for the exit sign Looking for the exit sign Looking for the exit sign I'm smashing mirrors You can see Vegas in my eyes The future is shapeless No faith in my disguise I'm longing for a limb to reach out from the dark and shape this mould of clay into something good Shape this mould of clay Shape this mould of clay Shape this mould of clay into something good Suddenly the ground breaks up and underneath's just sky And all we can do is tumble into an alternate you and I The ball and chain brought me pain but also held me down Now I have no excuse to keep barreling through my mind.

Choker 04:55
lyrics

When life gives you the grapes of wrath, You make some wine and you draw a bath It’s easy to sit on the fence forever, When you’re surrounded by canyons on both sides The sun is setting, ships are sailing All I can hear are babies wailing I want to know what shut you up I want to know what made you give up It's hard to care about tomorrow's flood When you're tucked away inside the ramparts This tender life I love is killing me And you know I can’t shake it No more cities to build, no more space to fill Maybe now I can loiter for a living I want to know what shut you up I want to know what made you give up They say there’s no second act Well the first has dragged And the plot was drab And have you ever seen the players so unprepared? Im dreaming of how good we had it While I wait for the afterlife Can you keep my drink fresh? Can you handle the stress?
