Just Us

No security, no reward
No grand escape
Work a lot, work too much
But you gotta get paid
Bank accounts grow then dwindle down
What’s the point anyway
Hand to mouth or starve till later
Either way you’ll still fade
They’ll replace you
They don’t need you
And you don’t need them
Learn to grow, learn to make
Got that self reward
If you don’t know then simply ask
Cuz friends got your back
What’s mine is yours, yours is mine
We share that trust
You know my face and I know yours
We run in the same pack
Lets replace them
We don’t need them
But they need us
Lets forget them
Don’t remember them
Cuz it’s just us

If Only

If only I had a calm soul
I could easily sleep through these never ending nights
If only my fridge had one more beer
I could slowly sip it down and start to fade away
If only I had my own telephone
I could give you a call or maybe play a game of phone tag
If only I could have all those opportunities and not just squander every last one of them away
If only, if only, if only, if…
If only, if only, if only, if…
Bruised lips, spitting out nonsense out into the air
Black eyes, seeing it all fall apart
Yes I am ashamed of my insecurities
Yes I am ashamed of my stupid feelings
Yes I am, yes I am, yes I am, yes I am
Dumb, duh-duh-duh dumb, dumb mmmmm
Yes I am, yes I am, yes I am, yes I am
Dumb, duh-duh-duh dumb, dumb mmmmm
Ooooh another stupid boy
Ooooh another stupid boy
And yes I am, yes I am, yes I am, yes I am
Dumb, duh-duh-duh dumb, dumb mmmmm
And yes I am, yes I am, yes I am, yes I am
Dumb, duh-duh-duh dumb, dumb mmmmm
If only, if only, if only, if only
I could take it all back
If only, if only, if only, if only
I could get a second chance
I’d do it right

Peace In A Loving Way
02:25
|
|||
Through updates, versions and brand new postages
The letters inside remain the same as they travel to
You through signals unseen, speaking words
Floating like waves whisper your way
Falling through all of the horrible tales
That remind us we’re safe hid in our homes
But the world calls and pulls us back into itself
There are so many wonders wandering your way
The fear on their faces stretching into hate
Burns the childhood dream for world peace
Hoping that there can be love and understanding
Not choked in a religious or patriotic way
Love during wartime, must be insanity
But we have our hearts opened up and our arms stretched wide
You can follow inside, or watch from afar
Please just find your own peace in a loving way
Peace in a loving way

Temperatures rise
Wanna nibble on some juicy thigh
Catch this hot summer
Watch homes smolder
Young pharaohs and horses
Dance at the bars till they closes
Lock jawed after parties
Where are all the naughties
Early morning comes again
Takes me back to the world again
And I don’t wanna ever stop
Trickling cold water
On blind smooth silky skin
It’s so surprising
It’s so appealing
Clementine skins cover the ground
Unopened letters keep piled around
Mosquito bites start humming
Wish they were speaking
Early morning comes again
Takes me back to the world again
And I don’t wanna ever stop

I don’t wanna love no more, no more
I don’t wanna love no more
Fuck your hate, let it die on the linoleum floor
Fuck your hate, let it be sold off in the store
and if the world tries to make you a whore
You don’t have to take it no more
Cuz you can love, you can love anyone you want
and you can cry, you can any time you want
and you can feel, you can feel as real as you are
Cuz you are real, you’re the real deal that I see
Yeah you are real, you’re the real deal that I see
And I am gonna try to love some more
I am gonna try to love

Little Girl
02:12

What you want with a social life
Cut that shit with a real big knife
I am a little girl in a big big world
My dress so clean and my hair is curled
Invite me over for some dinner
Late at night I may turn into a sinner
Don’t you want to ride with me
Don’t you want to sleep with me
Oh come on!

Creaky Wooden Floor
02:11
|

I know we haven’t really talked
Sure we’ve conversed but we haven’t really said anything at all
There is an elephant filling up this whole room
Could it be my feelings that are stifling the air
Wonder what you’d say
If I whispered in your ear
Told you you should stay
Or we could have a home anywhere
Our hands are stained from beets
We look just like purple monsters trying to takeover this kitchen
Lost looks in dirty dining ware
The sink is over flowing with dishes and it smells just like bad breath
Wonder what you’d do
If I just kissed your cheek
Told you my love is true
And I am not just another wooden floor creak

Get Gotten

What does Texas got that I don’t got
What is it you need cuz I must have forgot
Are you just bored and too anxious
Patience is wearing thin and life is ridiculous
Oh no, I think I spoiled it again
I am driving backwards to where it began
Preoccupied with the rear view mirror
And I forgot how to steer
Heard you’re the reason why bad things happen
Do you know why all my good days keep on slipping
Is this bad karma or the work of some demon
I am so exhausted of being messed up and always gone
All the answers to life aren’t known
This state is blooming with so much change
Our future comes with the morning
You don’t have to be depressed anymore
No, you don’t have to be depressed anymore

Horny Wildebeast

If I wasn’t introduced to pornography
Would I be such a pervert
Feverishly masturbating
To images I’ll later regret
Oh the shame is so beautifully
Smeared all over my face
Facing the lust that you struggled with
And finding a lover to embrace
Chase, chase, chase; chase oh chase it
These feverishly lusty dreams
Taste, taste, taste; oh taste can you taste it
Drowning in these pleasurable streams
Oh I have been so distracted
My time’s been so wasted
Coming up with illogical solutions
Drastically considering castration
Holding back the horny wildebeest within me
Wondering why everyone is acting so friendly
Are we all motivated by self-interest
If it’s true than whom can you trust, just trust us
Do I hate myself because I am a hypocrite
I am dying for my tomorrows to be more optimistic
I am dying for my tomorrows
Be more optimistic, please please

Oo Ra Ra / The Sun
05:46

Won’t you spill your guts on me
Tell me what you really want to be
Sell off the farm and the factory
Run away and fall in love with me
Singing…
Don’t worry it’s going to be alright
I got a place to keep us warm at night
Put down the knife, we don’t have to fight
We can make love till morning’s light
Moaning…
Oooo ra ra!
I am the sun
And I am shining down
So I shine on down
Shine down
And I have seen it all
And I will burn
Yes I will burn
Burn on
And I will grow
Stretch out in this space
And I will engulf
Yes I will engulf it all
Everything that I gave life to
Will burn at my touch
If cold fire is what you desire
You must wait, you must be stronger
Feel my heat
Feel the cancer
You can’t be given life
Without being given death

Misery Shaker

Ice age Ritas born in Havana
With their crocodile smiles and all the while
They shake their misery away, they shake their misery away
The little ones burn into the sun
With their parachute goodbyes, as their innocence dies
They shake their misery away, they shake their misery away
Tell me the tale of the girl who would sell
her heart just for kicks
Or the one about the man who would do what he can
just to get his fix
Tell me about your broken heart and how it rips you apart
You’re all alone with nobody
Tell me about how you’re so sad and how it makes you so mad
that you keep on spreading your own misery
Ice age Ritas, born in Havana
With their crocodile smiles and all the while
They shake their misery away, they shake their misery away
And the little ones, they burn into the sun
With their parachute goodbyes, as their innocence dies
They shake their misery away, they shake their misery away
See those moving pictures, see the moving pictures
move me to tears
See these moving pictures OH! See the moving pictures
move me to tears
And I will cry when my father dies and they place him in the ground
Just like he would cry if I swallowed all these pills and let myself drown
I would carry this whole world on my shoulders
If it would bring me back to you
And I would go fight in the fucking desert
If it could sweep me back to you
But no
It would only bring death
Sing to me
Why don’t you just sing to me
I heard you have the voice of an angel
So why don’t you press your lips so close to my ear
And just sing to me
