having fun

i don't care about being forgotten
been preparing all my life
if it looks like i am having fun
its just because i am terrified
you say i changed but you never really knew me
i don't think that much about the future
you could see it in my eyes
if it looked like i don't care at all
its just because i was dead inside
you'll see how wrong you are
and you'll feel really sad
regretting everything
as we all count down
(four three two one) then you explode!
you say i changed but you never really knew me
i say i think we're all addicted to something
they said some things and i think its gonna kill me
i don't care about making a difference
just finding a place to hide
if it looks like i'm fitting in
its just because i've chosen sides
we'll get the best of us
we'll see how wrong we are
and feel so miserable
in front of everyone
(four three two one) then we explode!
you say i changed but you never really knew me
they said some things and i think its gonna kill me
i don't care about being forgotten
been preparing all my life
if it looks like i'm having fun
its just because i'm terrified

crusades

Children come and gather round
need someone run out of town
gather rocks and test your aim
at the target of the day
Children no don't do those chores
gotta find the highest horse
drinking blood and eating flesh
is all we hope to accomplish
Children on their crusades but not a single thing they've made
Children on their crusades fucked around all their days
Children joining our crusaders
we need to smoke out all the traitors
we know you need to prove you're worthy
so carry onward without mercy
Battle lines have been shifted
doctors teachers all conscripted
true believers heed the call
embracing our eumorphia
Children on their crusades stopped listening to common sense
Children on their crusades torching their inheritance
Children on their crusades enumerating our new sins
Children on their crusades vanquishing from within

here's hoping (v2)

(will they mind if i borrow this?
they were hardly using it)
god's plan seems more frail than it ought to be
easily undone by everything they themselves
set in motion
strange negotiations
and sad accommodations
as we wait for one to come along
and fix what's broken for us
the sun will rise, we'll waste the light
and find ourselves in dark again
lost just like we started
but with less than we began
with no plan b factoring reality
maybe high time we admit there's
no such thing
i don't know the answer
but i'm sure there is a problem
and that thought may put myself at odds
with me and many others
treading water in a whirlpool
while debating building bridges
going round and round but each new circle
smaller than the last one
but we have each day
to see each other in the light
and in the dark let's dream
we're only powerless when we fight

still here doing this
03:47
|
|||
|
growing veggies in the garden
keeping lookout for marauders
writing songs on pen and paper
and recording to the vapor
if the world ends I'd still be here doing this
not sure if it would even make that much difference
when the world ends I'll still be working hard as hell
on something that won't mean much to anyone else
if i don't make too many waves
maybe i can be one with everything
the kind of natural harmony
only obscurity can bring
getting zero views on youtube
and playing for an empty room
making mistakes along the way
but there's really no price to pay

'93

Gonna tell my joke
two weeks too late
I'll have the only laugh
because I know NOGAF!
Fifteen years out of phase
gonna say my piece
trying to catch the wave
after it breaks
Diving in the shallow end
won't make a splash
because NOGAF
but even if they did
it wouldn't matter one bit
I'm still listening to The Vaselines
because of Kurt Cobain back in '93
time stands still...gonna die on this hill.
No reading of my blog
no sharing of my song
no watching of my stream
NOGAF indeed!
But even if my timing were just right
there would still be no sense to really try
since I still couldn't earn
any affirmation
since I still won't deserve
any fox to be given
I'm still listening to The Vaselines
just like Kurt Cobain back in '93
time stands still...gonna die on this hill.

stuck with me

[Part 1]
if only she could see
how hard I worked
just to make sure
she'd be stuck here with me
been learning since fourteen
practicing my manners
working on my grammar
just like my mom taught me
then I hid away
inside what I made
while my friends played
waiting for the day
sleeping, dreaming, transforming
[Part 2]
all the things I tried
something caught her eye
it was never clear
if or how I'd ever get here
just a leap of faith
that I'd find my way
using what's inside
to reach our island
all the things I went through to get her
all the rest we'll go through together
making sure I deserve
to be stuck with her
worthy to keep
her stuck with me

what the heck
03:16
|

|
the world created these brains
to run around and do crazy things
a world existing in each
what the heck has been unleashed?
god looked away and the universe
went and misbehaved
and we all just got here
can we give ourselves a little break for a change
and so there's just one thing
that we insist on separating
drawing lines in the air
but it's only us here
and god is fooling themself
to pretend that its something else
you're goddamn right it's such a mess
but we're doing our best
we looked away and god themself
went and misbehaved
and we all just got here
can we give ourselves a little break for a change
there's no you and I
or us and them my friend
it's just us.

This release just has this strong presence that grabs the listener's attention, yet doesn't feel overwhelming. Each track flows into the next flawlessly, so while they're all good on their own, their sum is next level. Great production!
