One, two and One, two and Slick like a newt Okay Slick like a newt No I knew Absolute about it Rip out my tooth For the truth But I never doubt it Buzz like them bees In the trees Face covered in honey I beg you please Set me free while it is still sunny Fall like the leaves Imma leave I don't want no trouble Float like the see just to see Please don't bust my bubble Raise like the sun in the sky It's still dark this time Fade out of mind I don't mind Like a suicide I've never seen human beings Being so damn ugly Pray to the sky I stay high Only god can judge me Crash like a train on a plane Hit that overpass now Always the same, I don't blame I mean I'm adjusting Ain't no sorry I can't breath Lungs just fill with water Float like the sea just to see Don't say you got a head Like the sun in the sky It's still dark this time Fade out of mind I don't mind Like a suicide

Electric Sheep 03:24
lyrics

Don't try to act clever You know that you never You know that you never No never were Always so trendy, yeah Always so friendly, yeah Everyone, everyone, everyone envies you That's what you tell yourself Long as you sleep at night Ain't got no Ain't got no beast to fight Just got that peace of mind Just got that, just got that Just got that, just got that pe—pe-peace C-beams glittering in the sky Watch me as I'm burning out, burning out And I know that nobody ever really dies And we keep living in memories Don't try to act clever You know that you never You know that you never No never were Always a weirdo Know nothing but fear though And everyone Everyone, everyone Causes anxiety inside of me Forget how Forget how to breath Float like the foam in the sea The things I've seen that you wouldn't believe C-beams glittering in the sky Watch me as I'm burning out, burning out And I know that nobody ever really dies And we keep living in memories Don't try to act clever You know that you never were there for me I drown my sorrow in Hennessy I was Ray Charles but now I see They sleeping on me Don't make a peep Do androids dream of electric sheep? I give the lord all my soul to keep I'm just, just to fall asleep C-beams glittering in the sky Watch me as I'm burning out, burning out And I know that nobody ever really dies And we keep living in memories

You're needy and I know it 'Cuz I'm needy too I'm greedy, but that's something that you already knew Selfish with my expectations Am I doing alright? Don't have a good answer but I'll tell you that I'm still in the fight Everything just fades to grey Hues in between where I wanna stay Everything just fades to grey Hues in between where I wanna stay Hues in between where I wanna stay Hues in between where I wanna stay Hues in between where I wanna stay Everything just fades away Took your kindness for granted Got you manic as hell Nothing to tell you When I'm alone I'm the saddest Codependent, I know, but still want you to go now Bewildered by the realization that nothings alright Don't have a good answer but I'll tell you that I'm here for the night Everything just fades to grey Hues in between where I wanna stay Everything just fades to grey Hues in between where I wanna stay Hues in between where I wanna stay Hues in between where I wanna stay Hues in between where I wanna stay Everything just fades away Everything just fades away Fades away

(Losing) My Grip 01:23
lyrics

Living obnoxiously Meds got me feeling so nauseous Do nothing properly Drop science, feel so scholarly Feels like destiny Existential dread befallen me I'm losing it Losing it Losing Losing my grip Disassociating like ketamine Would just becomes so unsettling Slowing down Then speeding up Methamphetamines Another friend dead to me About time that karma kicks my ass again I don't remember asking for this I try holding it together Not sure I can weather this again About time that karma kicks my ass again I don't remember asking for this I try holding it together Not sure I can weather this again

Always so miserable Life is so pitiful But you’re so irresistible Things always changing You’re still complaining That we are not maintaining Just like a Warhol With no sense of moral Living like we’re immortal No god in heaven So fuck being pleasant Don’t need no pills Fuck the pressure Last time I saw you, you was high as a kite, talking ‘bout like How the world was never kind to you Well what the fuck you think I could do? Fucked up my own shit Couldn’t save you if I wanted too I fuckin’ own it It’s never, not ever on you Last time I saw you, you was high as a kite, talking ‘bout like How the world was never kind to you Well what the fuck you think I could do? Fucked up my own shit Couldn’t save you if I wanted too I fuckin’ own it It’s never, not ever on you Always so miserable Life is so pitiful But you’re so irresistible Things always changing You’re still complaining That we are not maintaining Just like a Warhol With no sense of morals Living like we’re immortal No god in heaven So fuck being pleasant Don’t need no pills Fuck the pressure Last time I saw you, you was high as a kite, talking ‘bout like How the world was never kind to you Well what the fuck you think I could do? Fucked up my own shit Couldn’t save you if I wanted too I fuckin’ own it It’s never, not ever on you Always so miserable Life is so pitiful But you’re so irresistible Things always changing You’re still complaining That we are not maintaining Just like a Warhol With no sense of morals Living like we’re immortal No god in heaven So fuck being pleasant Don’t need no pills Fuck the pressure

(Fade Away) ‘Nother Day 02:58
lyrics

Fade away another day Ain’t got no one else to blame Couple coffins ease the pain All the sorrow turns to haze Fade away another day Losing track, by the way Bunch of bars to kill the pain Watch the hate fade away I ha-ah-ah-ah-ate Everything la-ah-ah-ah-ah-ately I know that you’ll be waiting for me I know that you’ll be waiting for me I ha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ate Everything la-ah-ah-ah-ah-ately I know that you’ll be waiting for me I know that you’ll be waiting for me Short patients, hot temper Broke your heart last December You didn’t deserve it Did it out of spite, I was hurting Didn’t make it right, touched a nerve now Trying to reverse now Broke down Water rising, think I might drown I ha-ah-ah-ah-ate How I always make a new mistake How I lack anymore self control High up on top of a totem pole (Losing weeks now) Fade away another day Ain’t got no one else to blame Couple coffins ease the pain All the sorrow turns to haze Fade away another day Losing track, by the way Bunch of bars to kill the pain Watch the hate fade away I ha-ah-ah-ah-ate Everything la-ah-ah-ah-ah-ately I know that you’ll be waiting for me I know that you’ll be waiting for me I ha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ate Everything la-ah-ah-ah-ah-ately I know that you’ll be waiting for me I know that you’ll be waiting for me

I’d say let’s take the scenic But I know you’ve seen it all I never stop believing I hope that you believe me I’m just gonna pray for you I know that you gonna do what you wanna, when you wanna What you at? Hit me back once you get this I know I’m an asshole, sometimes But you’re my pure nirvana, like Nevermind I never mind wasting time when it’s with you I know I’m a liar But I try, I try I try I swear I try When I look at you in the eye and start to cry But I don’t mean to do it I wish you’d never seen it When I say I do, I really mean it Never stop believing I hope that you believe me I’m just gonna pray for you I know that you gonna do what you wanna, when you wanna What you at? Hit me back once you get this I wish we could turn back time Just so we could both get it right, like I’d shed my skin for you Break my bones for you Just to build a throne for you ‘Cuz you’re my god You’re my god You’re my god I said your my god I pray, I pray You’re my god Keep me safe
