Do you wanna screw?
Baby, what’s the point?
I keep making my bed
and it’s become a real chore
I need a hole in my head
I won’t learn to feel less
Baby what’s the scene?
I’ve got places to be
Something left unsaid
will explode if not released
I need a hole in my head
I won’t learn to feel less
You can try to outrun
all the pain you come from
That would be a real mistake
You could learn to feel less
that would be a real bore
Baby, dream your dream
I need a hole in my head

I’m Not A Cop
02:22

I see a Mary kay Cadillac
and a hawk flying with a dead rat
Danger, danger,
roll down your window,
keep off the tracks
Read what the signs are telling you
Watch your step,
know how to read the room
Well, the ego is a fragile figure,
waiting to crack
It takes a hard landing to fall
It takes a good look
to know where you’re going
And now that you’re gone
I know what I’m not
I’m not a fucking cop
Are you a fucking cop?
I saw this cop at the Super Dawg,
he was waiting for his meal to come
Let’s take California home
cause Devon is jam packed
I think I got this whole city wrong
Any redemption for a stupid old punk?
You can run from where you’re going
but not who you love
It takes a hard landing to fall
It takes a good look
to know where you’re going
And now that you’re gone
I know what I’m not
I’m not a fucking cop
Are you a fucking cop?
Don’t be a fucking cop

Dysphoria Hoodie, please do swallow me
Dysphoria Hoodie, please do swallow me
When your ends are all threadbare no better feeling
On a Saturday morning with weed and coffee
A feeling of safety is blanketing me
Your arms of protection are wrapped around me
When it says A.D.I.D.A.S on my chest
All day long I dream of sex
When I’m not thinking about Jesus
Help me Jesus
Save me Jesus
Stay away from the city its full of assholes
But out in the country is where fascists roam
Plenty reasons to fear when you don’t fit the mold
You are my armor when facing the world
A feeling of home worn wherever I go
When it says A.D.I.D.A.S on my chest
All day long I dream of sex
When I’m not thinking about Jesus
Help me Jesus, oh god
Save me Jesus
When it says A.D.I.D.A.S on my chest
All day long I dream of sex
When I’m not thinking about Jesus
Help me Jesus
Save me Jesus
I can change, when I’m ready to change
I may wear this hoodie for 10,000 days
Without a wash in between
Same dirty black jeans
T-shirt with no sleeves
Dysphoria Hoodie, please do swallow me
Dysphoria Hoodie, please do swallow me
Dysphoria Hoodie, pull tight your drawstrings

Birds Talk Too

All the birds talk too
They’re out of Champagne Haze at Rookies
I’ve been gone four weeks
and I haven’t washed out once yet
Are your wings rose ringed?
Only planes flying out of Schiphol
are higher than I am
All the birds talk too,
they’re just having a good laugh
I’ve got my mind set on you
Heard the beat in the elevator
I’ll take the stairs when I’m coming down
Coming down, go outside to find myself
Go outside to find myself
Do you run with the wolves?
We all go chasing anyways, it’s all the same
When you come back home to find yourself,
fly away, fly away, fly away
What’s the name of this song?
They don’t play Red Hot Chili Peppers in places like this
All the birds talk too,
they’ve just got much better things to say
I’ve got my mind set on you
Heard the beat in the elevator
I’ll take the stairs when I’m coming down
Coming down, go outside to find myself
Go outside to find myself

Punk Rock In Basements
02:09

It’s been a long, long time since we used to play,
Punk Rock in basements, Punk Rock in basements
That’s where we made it,
That’s where we used to bear our heart and soul
Could never hear the microphone
But we knew every single word
Way, way loud!
See the past appearing
Don’t it make you wonder,
if you’re coming or you’re leaving?
Way, way loud!
See the past repeating
Don’t it make you wonder,
if you’re following or leading?
Yeah we were loud, we were proud, we were freaking out
It was the sound of revolution that translated into action
I can still taste the sweat
I have been carried by the motion
I have been deafened by the volume
The music gave us freedom
It was a reason to believe in
Way, way loud!
See the past appearing
Don’t it make you wonder,
if you’re coming or you’re leaving?
Way, way loud!
See the past repeating
Don’t it make you wonder,
if you’re following or leading?
And the band goes…
Woah, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh,
It’s been a long, long time since we used to play
It’s been a long, long time since we used to play
It’s been a long, long time since we used to play
Punk is dead!

Cuffing Season

If you’re cut into two, why not cut into three?
Gotta keep on tuning until the vibration suits me
And if the world isn’t flat may as well fucking be
What difference does it make to you and me?
Cause what goes around is what comes around
is what goes around again
If what goes around is what comes around
is what goes around again
How you gonna move it?
I wanna crash into the sound
I wanna learn to trust the fall
I wanna ghost ride the whip dysphoric & disassociated
And one day I’ll feel good again,
until then I’ll just white knuckle it
If you’re not afraid to die why don’t you fucking prove it?
Cause what goes around is what comes around
is what goes around again
Cause what goes around is what comes around
is what goes around again
If what goes around is what comes around
Is what goes around again
How you gonna move it?
I wanna let myself feel the whole of you
and maybe you’ll let yourself feel it too
Who knows maybe we’ll both live to regret it?
Unguard your tenderness of heart
Let go the fear you may fall apart
You don’t have to like the truth to know it’s worth the cost
Cause what goes around is what comes around
is what goes around again
Cause what goes around is what comes around
is what goes around again
If what goes around is what comes around
is what goes around again
How you gonna move it?
Come on and move me
Show me something that I’ve never seen before
Come on and move me
Make me feeling something I’ve never felt before

Tacos and Toast
Black boots and chains
Take some polaroid pictures
Stay stoned all day
Give me four shots of espresso,
Records books and paints
Cross over the river
Drive 90 down the interstate
I ain’t got nowhere I gotta be today
I think I’ll get a line tattoo’d through your name
You will be read as a clear mistake
I think I’ll get a line tattoo’d through your name today
You’ve got me twisting your nipples
Why not pierce my ear?
Ride me high like the Kings Way
I’ll remember our time so dear
If I could blow the moon out of the sky
I’d wipe that fucker clear out of the night
I ain’t got nowhere I gotta be today
I think I’ll get a line tattoo’d through your name
You will be read as a clear mistake
I think I’ll get a line tattoo’d through your name today
If I could blow the moon out of the sky
I’d wipe that fucker clear out of the night

Mercenary

Almond eyes
Gonna gouge them out
Are you scared
Just chew gently
If it’s savory
I’ve lost my taste
Swallow and smile
for you anyways
If there’s money on the table
you can take it and leave
If there’s a seat in the car
no one rides for free
I’ve got gold, solid gold
Come on and shine with me
Go on and take all you want
There’s nothing here that I need
Lost my mind
Gonna play for keeps
Will you pony up?
Choice is obvious
Baby, you’re so cool
No blitzkrieg
Damn strategist,
Real fine mercenary
If there’s money on the table
you can take it and leave
If there’s a seat in the car
no one rides for free
I’ve got gold, solid gold
Come on and shine with me
Go on and take all you want
There’s nothing here that I need
But I want you to want me
I want you to need me
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I want you to love me,
to love me like I love you

Dollar fifty N/A beers at CBGB’s
I don’t know who you’re with
but I know I’m not there
Sleeping bag rolled out on a back room mattress
Laid out on the floor doom scrolling til dawn
I’m keeping the faith
Everything will be okay,
If I draw the curtains tight
and I sleep through the day
Keeping the faith
Everything will turn out great,
If I can just keep my wheels steering straight
Sure as shit some kind of crossroads,
that’s just obvious
Is this ship coming in?
Or is it slowly sailing away?
Living like a vampire
My hands are covered in stigmata
Board up all the windows with a drill and a hammer
I’m keeping the faith
Everything will be okay,
If I black out all the windows
and I sleep through the day
Keeping the faith
Everything will turn out great,
If I can just keep my wheels steering straight
I want the feel those songs give to me
Like “Angeles”, “Needle In The Hay”
I want it to come from you
I want you to sing it for me
Oh my demon, my daemon,
my darling friend
These centuries burn like summer days
I’m keeping the faith
Just like Bon Jovi
Disappear a decade and come back in a day
Keeping the faith
Everything will be okay
I’ll just kick out all the windows
when it’s time to leave
Keeping the faith
Everything will turn out great
Keeping the faith
Everything will be okay
If I can just keep my wheels straight

Hard Feelings
02:12
|

I am sorry, I make mistakes
I never think through the choices I make
And while I’ve got no right to hard feelings
I don’t deserve them, I just take them
Oh, Mother, Mother, Mother
I’ve ruined my brain
with alcohol, weed, porn and cocaine
Staring out windows, staring at screens
I passed right by everything I’ve seen
Oh, Mother, Mother, Mother
I’ve ruined my brain
with alcohol, weed, porn and cocaine
I passed right by everything I’ve seen
I wish someone would have warned me
I won’t ever be the same
Uncomfortable is my middle name
And the bed that I make
is the bed in which I wake
While I’ve got no right to hard feelings
I don’t deserve them, I just take them
Oh, Mother, Mother, Mother
I’ve ruined my brain
with alcohol, weed, porn and cocaine
Staring out windows, staring at screens
I passed right by everything I’ve seen
Oh, Mother, Mother, Mother
I’ve ruined my brain
with alcohol, weed, porn and cocaine
I passed right by everything I’ve seen
I wish someone would have warned me
I won’t ever be the same
While I’ve got no right to my reasons
The bridges were burned
while I knew that I would need them

Give Up The Ghost
02:37

I think it’s time that I give up the ghost
With the spirit gone I’ll be what I fear the most
An empty vessel, just machine at the most
But I think it’s time that I give up the ghost
If I could pray you to me
I would fall right down onto my knees
Swear to god, this time I am ready
Worth the cost to find
Would you give your time to me?
I’m standing at the center of the universe
screaming at god, I’m not done
I’m standing at the center of the universe
screaming at god, I’m not done
I’m not done
But, I think it’s time that I give up the ghost
With the spirit gone I’ll be what I fear the most
An empty vessel, just machine at the most
But I think it’s time that I give up the ghost
I think it’s time that I give up the ghost
With the spirit gone I’ll be what I fear the most
An empty vessel, just machine at the most
But I think it’s time that I give up the ghost
