Am I still happy?
Is a fool still in my brain?
Today I feel a bit less sane and a bit more used to it
and though you're staring right at me
we are centuries and miles apart
and you can pull me right out of the dark
if you think it would help
but am I slippin? reminiscin keeps me lucid when I'm missin
times when i had no real bother with my mom and my real father
why would time be so crueld to forget me
forget the time wherein i live
is this feeling indicative of a waking dream?
can't tell the past from the future
so clear to my poor mind
like trying to describe to the blind
one color from another one
say what you want
and ill do it, i dont care anymore
it's a chore doing anything for yourself
i can't sleep
i can't speak
don't like the old me
don't trust the new me
but am I slippin? reminiscin keeps me lucid when i'm missin
days that i had wasted happy,
traced the harpy starin at me
why would time be so cruel
to forget

Lousy

my two lives are drifting apart
and i don't know which one i really oughta follow
so i brush my teeth and i try to sound smart
despite my insights I sin right and still hide my sorrow
though you seem like a likable sort
im sort of afraid of the weight of the way love is hollow
like me
it's meant to be
im lousy
admit it
im scary
you're gifted
i barely
can memorize your name (is it cindy, is it lisa?)
is it over
we did it
im buried
you're lifted
and very proud to see me go
(let's go)
well, my brains feel like scrambled eggs
i'm very fucked up in a scenic locale on the sidewalk
amongst the other rolling heads
away from the light feels alright but it's nowhere that i'd walk
im dying to hopefully live
i'm trying to hopefully give a damn about something
but nothing comes to mind
im sorry
im nothin
you called me
a somethin
but somethin tells me i wont make the grade (is it passing is it failing?)
is it funny all my curses
are trapped now in my verses
and now it's gonna be me vs myself
i wish you'd forget why

Uncanny Valley

i woke up drunk up in a vestibule
between the sunken lands and me
i broke a bottle, saying "bless the fool
to trust this ruthless entropy"
i stumbled out the doors and out my head
into this uncanny valley
despite my innocence i felt quite wrong
in a sense i felt senselessly
there's no order, what's the point in freakin out
even though we're dyin slowly try and know me well
cause in this moment i am only steppin on
i got no clue where i'm goin but im knowin time will tell
our strangest nightmares are all bodily
we must not know what we are
trapped in an obscure dreamscape by dali
our carbon vessels are bizarre
one would image one would lose their minds
a pitfall of imagining
i wont say im going down that road tonight
but i hear it callin when i sing
mopin's useless hopin's stupid
so it goes and so it chose you to be born without your true consent
your apartment's growing ghosts of thoughts youd never say
i can hear them moan and cry alone in moments you're away
i said we're just polygons, ruby wire and heat
and when you break us down an awful sound echoes down the street
and sometimes i get so crazy i forget how to talk
???
i don't know anything anymore

O' Hungry Ghost

i howl to the sky
and i look at my dreams as they are how they seem
and i know i'll keep this body alive and only find my raspy screams
but dont stand too close you'll get bit by the ghost that's hauntin me
very possibly your life may very well explode
i could take your number and i could call your phone
but you'da never know the depths of my fear
and i could write you love songs that tell you who i am
but you wont understand what we go through
but dont stand too close
youll get bit by the ghost that's haunting me
and very possibly, your life may very well explode
dont be too fooled if my touch may be cool
im burning up and im learning nothing may ever fix me again
so march on by
i'll let you go
here is a song
to let you know
we are alive
but don't fit together
so i let us die
drift away forever
well you're cute, you're nice, you're funnier
than i could ever dream
but in my dreams i scream and scream until i'm awake
well you see my pain, it cant be seen
not visible to the eye
and if i die cant be that guy to just go and break your heart

there he goes again
despite all his friends best efforts
he's become the fool tonight
"death aint real"
he mumbles with his gloomy eyes
his look-right-through-me-eyes
cuz I don't feel the same
"what do you know about pain? can you escape with your animal brain? well i know that you feel nice and safe, but im willing to bet that one day you'll feel it and fear it and never forget that all that talk's for nothin'"
