God's Target

You say you love me and I guess that’s true
Our Sunday best
Painted eyes combed hair and a counterfeit smile
A suit and vest
Raising hands in the sky it’s divine no just infinite jest
Oh no
I’ll throw up from all these spoiled babies cries
Why would I intervene if we both know you’re gonna die
You say you love me and I guess that’s true
Another spill for me to run right to
Cause I heard
(I heard)
The world
(The world)
Was cracking down on you
And everytime you hoped it was the best thing
I’ve watched you grow
Moved from caves and enslaved to rodeo drive
I'm sure you know
That the kid with no arms and no legs rather you survive
I hear
Your fears your pain your lust your greed your hate
Well have you thought the problem ought to be your own mistakes?
You say you love me and I guess that’s true
Another spill for me to run right to
Cause I heard
(I heard)
The world
(The world)
Was cracking down on you
And everytime you hoped it was the best thing
You want it
God’s target
God’s target
You’ve got it
You say you love me and I guess that’s true
Another spill for me to run right to
Cause I heard
(I heard)
The world
(The world)
Was cracking down on you
And everytime you hoped it was the best thing

Basic words to make you choke
A witty joke or anecdote
You’re drinking tears I’m drinking tea
A long list of adjectives
Here are some copies for your kids
I’ll read aloud while you repeat
OH MY GOD
Running off my mouth again
Stuttering and wet foreheads
I’m not angry are you done well I don’t know
Whispers bouncing off the walls
This isn’t feeling weird at all
We should do it once a week
I can’t stop smiling for fun
You’re picking food out of your gums
Is there any left for me?
AM I HERE
Running off my mouth again
Stuttering and wet foreheads
I’m not angry are you done well I don’t know
ooooooooooooOOOOoooooooo
ooooooooooooOOOOoooooooo
OOOOOOOOOOOOooooOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOooooOOOOOOOO

One With Everything

At ease with mistakes
Don’t make them anyways
These arms swing as I walk
So tell me one more time who’s looking stuck
What’s that you think you want from me
Freckles find my face
Don’t give me any space
Tattoos and tattered shoes
If I sneeze do I get blesse you’d
I can’t be dead when you won't live
I don’t care who the fuck I hit
I keep my head held steady
You keep your hands held heavy
I’m the one with
Everything to lose
Woo ooo
Everyone disagrees
Their laughters after me
Act dumb when I’m correct
I know you know and no offense
Use up the time you think you need
Your shrug just turned into a scream
I keep my head held steady
You keep your hands held heavy
I’m the one with
Everything to lose
Woo ooo
I’m the one with
Everything to lose
I’m the one with
I’m the one with
Curl my toes close my fist you’re
The fucking one with
I’m the one with
Everything to lose
Woo ooo
Woo ooo
Woo ooo
Woo oo

LA, Cowboy

I like you and I don’t like people
I like you and I don’t like people
Riding through the fog alone
Talking to the desert floor in silence
I like you and I don’t like people
I like you and I don’t like people
Maybe I’ll tie up myself
Let the shaky gunman pull my heart out
Wherever you go I’ll go too
Wherever you go WooOoo
Change out of these torn up jeans
Take off my duster as you walk by
Pattern shirt and tasseled vest
Iron heart and gunsmoke breath
Don’t go
And I’m not keen on staying in
But sure do like the way you grin
You know
And there’s no telling how I’ll be
But I’m sure you’re the one for me
And I’ll say it again I don’t pretend
Cold nights
Outside
Running scared
No noise
Missing bullets
Face death
Wanna hurt me
Smooth eyes
Slick hands
Hearing whispers
Dark danger
Hidden bodies
Never wander (wonder??)
WOO HOOO
Let go
Cause I won't

Searching for your lights through all the high-beams
Even now it sorta seems extreme
My windows gone been driving in the wrong lane
Better turn around before we fill the streets with our veins
Let go
I won’t
So go
I know
Let go
Let go
Have you found the place where you’ll be laying down
Are you comfortable are you hearing sounds
I swore I thought I heard you croon
Hope it’s nice out there and I’ll see you soon
Let go
I won’t
So go
I know
Let go
Let go
Twice in the night I can’t breathe right just to keep eyes on you
Swerving through hours whiskey and sours I’m sure I know it’s true
Twice in the night I can’t breathe right just to keep eyes on you
Where did you go I’m sure I know I know I know
Let go
I won’t
So go
I know
Let go
Let go

I'm Judy Garland
04:38
|

I didn’t mean to keep you up all night
Or sweat through your clean sheets
Running from figures with a face like mine
Short hair and crooked teeth
And maybe in the evening
You can prove to me this isn’t real
I’m Judy Garland darlin
I’ll never leave your side
I’m hanging on your bedpost just know
I’ll keep you safe at night
Nail my wrists and let my feet hang low
Replace your heart with mine
Won’t always be a way to keep you close
But I’m dumb enough to try
And I promise to be better
You won’t find me on the bathroom floor
I’m Judy Garland darlin
I’ll never leave your side
I’m hanging on your bedpost just know
I’ll keep you safe at night
Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo
Hoo HOO
x4
I’m Judy Garland darlin
I’ll never leave your side
I’m hanging on your bedpost just know
I’ll keep you safe at night
I’m Judy Garland darlin (hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo HOO)
I’ll never leave your side (hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo HOO)
I’m hanging on your bedpost just know (hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo HOO)
I’ll keep you safe at night (hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo HOO)

Free sweaters fantastic
Those flowers are plastic
Made by the same guy who built the barbie doll
And a young introvert
With some dirt on her shirts
Drawing frogs with no legs arms but perfect jaws
Both fingers up but not to touch
Moving so fast ahh such a rush
One legs asleep the other’s lazy
Can’t open her toes
Cannot casually grow
But have purpose to surface at anytime
And reflections are laughing at frowns
Cause the pills won't go down
The throats closed up or maybe dry
Both fingers up but not to touch
Moving so fast ahh such a rush
One legs asleep the other’s lazy
CHOIR
Both fingers up but not to touch
Moving so fast ahh such a rush
One legs asleep the other’s still
I’m getting help I’m feeling ill
Childrens laughter

Bones to Dust
03:36
|
|||
And I hope it aint hurting no more
Like a blister or sore
On the side of your mouth
There’s no hint of guilt
Anger wrapped up in silk
Stored away in the house
And I know
That you chose
To never return here again
So I’ll say
It’s ok
But I’m finding it hard to forget
Talking at bones turned to dust
Keeping shirts that don’t fit cause I must
Doesn't it look good
You will never be old
Just an image of gold
Hanging under the roof
And I know
That you chose
To never return here again
So I’ll say
It’s ok
But I’m finding it hard to forget

Elvis Pelvis
02:20

Elvis was a boy of short stature with giant glasses and an awkward bone structure that led him to be the center of ridicule in his early days. And although this might phase some, it rather shifted the molecular physiology of a young Elvis’s brain creating an absence of fear and a craving for all things thrill. You see, Elvis was born to a wealthy family with high expectations. The family business of nearly a century dabbled in the dealings of building tried and true trinkets, but not even a hundred years of trinket tradition could stop Elvis from satisfying his ultimate itch of becoming a raging stuntman.
And I
Will not rest easy tonight
At 18 Elvis headed west--a prophecy to the young lad who had given up a life of comfort in order to bring his passions to fruition. Landing a job at a local circus, it wasn’t long before an eager Elvis caught the eye of the old guy in charge of the motorcycle dome of death. Are you ready, kid? It’s time to shine. Without hesitation Elvis pulled into the dome revved his engine and took off at full speed. The roar of the crowd echoed in his helmet until a wrong turn sent him flying through the air landing on his back at the bottom of the metal cage. Lying there, approaching his last breath, he couldn’t help but smile ear to ear.
And I
Will not rest easy tonight

This Can't Be Nothing

Open my mouth just to throw myself off
Open my mouth so you could shut my talk
I sleep in this bed sleep in this bed but I feel lost
Cold air scrape your fears and know the place where I fall
But this can’t be nothing
This can’t be nothing
I let my heart out
Thought you’d like to know
This can’t be nothing
This can’t be nothing
I let my heart out
Heart out
Shelter me from all your good intentions
Cry to me when it doesn’t go your way
Get the limit make me feel timid tonight
Then I’ll have heard all that you’re gonna say
But this can’t be nothing
This can’t be nothing
I let my heart out
Thought you’d like to know
This can’t be nothing
This can’t be nothing
I let my heart out
Heart out
You ask me for my secret everybody wants to keep it
You ask me for my secret everybody wants to keep it’s
All in the way that I feel
I don’t let my heart out
Thought you’d like to know
This can’t be nothing
This can’t be nothing
I let my heart out
Heart out

Unoriginal Boy

I love the way you accidentally use his name instead of mine
Shave my head and glue the pieces to your chest I guess that’s fine
Feels good to know that from my head down to my toes I am an unoriginal boy
Hey how’s my face?
It’s not the same
Well I’m alive pouring salt between my eyes cause I can't stop seeing slugs
Peel off my skin and nail it on a wooden post with no head or limbs
It’s looking good I just love the way it lies
Hey how’s my face?
It’s not the same I swear it’s changed
Your son
Your son
Your son
Your son
Your son
Your son
Your son
Your son
Whistles n screams :)

Part II

He takes of his dress and combs his hair which looks a mess
Stains his face from ear to ear then cooks a meal and has a beer
Says he works but drives around and doesn’t stop till he breaks down
Lights one up to catch his breath still feels a tightness in his chest
But it don’t seem so ideal to change your name
Or force a way to stay in frame
Like floral pattern paper walls that fade
He lies in the face a caked expression of disgrace
Shows his teeth but bites his tongue and never tried to hurt no one
Always loved and always knew but honey it’s not about you
The world looks big when it feels small that doesn’t make much sense at all
But it don’t seem so ideal to change your name
Or force a way to stay in frame
Like floral pattern paper walls that fade
The sun never gets to watch itself set
The sun never gets to watch itself set
The sun never gets to watch itself set
The sun never gets to watch itself set
