Hellville 03:44
lyrics

Fire up your circuits Head on down the road Before I am forgotten Before my heart implodes The seas are climbing higher Red sun begins to rise My friend, I'll see you on the other side Satan fucks me sideways Spends me 'til I'm done Here comes the end of time, babe There's nowhere left to run The winds will claim the ashes And silence will arrive My friend, I'll see you on the other side

Alive in the Meantime 04:39
lyrics

I can read, I can paint a nice picture Put it in a nice frame I can go, I can leave if I want to I can choose when I stay Like a leaf, like a bird in slow motion Like a bird in a cage Put it up on a string It doesn't mean anything I can breathe, I can recognize sunshine I can recognize snow Rearrange until everything's perfect Or is as far as I know Like a flash, like a vision of heaven Like a vision of home I can call it a sign I can say that I'm fine Cuz I'm alive (i'm alive i'm alive i'm alive...) I can feel, I can realize anything I can dissipate rage Up in the air, there's nothing absurd about it Is it alright if I wait? (is it alright if i wait?) Like a charm, like a bird in slow motion, Like a world in decay Brand new horrible light Whole new terrible mind Cuz I'm alive (i'm alive i'm alive i'm alive...) Splittin' my brain, I'm burnin' my eyes My skin is corroded, do you wanna know why? I'm alive, I'm alive in the meantime Breakin' my fingers, toxic inside Teeth shatter to pieces, do you wanna know why? I'm alive, I'm alive in the mean- YEAH I'M ALIVE BITCH, I'M IN THE LATEST DESIGNS I GOT SEVENTEEN UNITS, I'M DOIN' FINE LITTLE PUPPY DON'T YOU THINK ITS FUNNY WHEN WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE I'M ALIVE I'M ALIVE I'M ALIVE It's all got fucked this time around, this time I bet you I can breathe, I can recognize sunshine I can go, I can leave if I want to There's nothing left to figure out Figure that god damn you GOD DAMN YOU I can read, I can paint a nice picture I can go, I can leave if I want to I can leave if I want to I can leave if I want to... (give in, give in, give in...) Splittin' my brain, I'm burnin' my eyes My skin is corroded, do you wanna know why? I'm alive, I'm alive in the meantime Breakin' my fingers, toxic inside Teeth shatter to pieces, do you wanna know why? I'm alive, I'm alive in the meantime

You're safe. Safe in the quiet and cold. Safe. Everything's under control. And you're safe. Safe and secure in my soul. You're safe. Safe in the place where you are. Wait. Don't you go runnin' so far. When you're safe. Safe and secure in my heart. You're safe. Hey. You're okay. Safe. Safe with no call to complain. You're safe. Safe no matter what you say. Safe...safe...safe... You're safe. Safe in the quiet and cold. Safe. Everything's under control. And you're safe. Safe and secure in my soul. You're safe. Safe in the place where you are. Wait. Don't you go runnin' so far. When you're safe. Safe and secure in my heart. You're safe. Hey. You're okay. Safe. Safe with no call to complain. You're safe. Safe no matter what you say. Safe...safe...safe....

What Don't You Understand? 04:40
lyrics

I can see it falling, I can see it fade Slipping through my fingers, swirling down the drain Lost between the corners, lost between the cracks Sinking out of vision, never coming back I can hear it echo, I can hear it chime Crawling up my brain stem, sinking in my mind I can see it coming, staring in my face I can see it falling, falling into place I can feel it whirling, I can see it grin I can feel it lifting, rising on the wind Don't do what they tell you, they don't know the score is love forever after, love forever more I can hear it echo, I can hear it ring Rising from below to swallow everything This is not a warning, this I know is true There's nothing we can hope for, nothing we can do Why don't you take my hand? We'll find a different way Don't feed me verses man, oh think it over We gotta recognize, it never goes as planned You should've know by now, what don't you understand? If I could think in practical terms like that We'll find another way Oh think it over We're gonna take our time, 'til better circumstance You should've known by now, what don't you understand? What don't you understand? If I could think in practical terms like that You should have known by now, oh think it over There is no other path, there is no other place It's all on us right now, oh think it over If I could think in practical terms like that You should've known by now, what don't you understand? I can see it falling, I can see it bend I can see it drifting, separating into the end

Keep low they can spot us for miles They'll roll us over in three seconds flat We're losing daylight, I wouldn't worry 'bout that Smoke's rising way out in the distance Vultures circling the wolves on our track I'm losing focus, I wouldn't worry 'bout that When they come I don't want you to worry There ain't no way they're ever taking us back It's getting colder, I wouldn't worry 'bout that CUZ THEN WE TAKE THESE FUCKING SHOVELS AND WE PUT 'EM IN THE GROUND THE GROUND THE GROUND By a landslide, at a minimum At peace, at home in oblivion I remember, then forget again At peace, at home in oblivion Force of habit, never giving in That's just the times I've been living in Ad nauseum, ad infinitum At peace, at home in oblivion At peace, at home in oblivion I remember, then forget again At peace, at home in oblvion We're not going to texas, we're not going to space We can't move with this shit overhead staring us in the face I can't keep it together, I can't keep them away (they're bound to find us someday) My bones are dust, I wouldn't worry 'bout that By a landslide, at a minimum I remember, then forget again Second nature, how inconsiderate Saddle up, all darkness is closing in Ad nauseum, ad infinitum At peace at home in oblivion At peace at home in oblivion I remember, then forget again At peace, at home in oblivion Don't need moonlight, false meridian Draw the hammer back, this is us living it Simply precious, one in a million At peace just until we meet again, never be giving in At home in oblivion

This just in: The end of civilzation I ain't gonna live in a communist nation God damn I'm impatient I just have no chill Do y'all hear that voice that says: kill kill kill kill Alt-right troll slinging audio carnage My moon is pisces, my aura is garbage Second-rated twenty-first century man I make things shit wherever I am I seen all this progress and baby I hate it When did this shit all get so complicated? You fucking snowflakes can't step to my caliber Just a man with some questions and skulls in his calipers Live and iodine pills get me healthy Independently thinking whatever they tell me Get wealthy, get stealthy, get a real job, see the truth Reflected in the shine that I lick on these boots ITS OBVIOUS (we got it) VICTORIOUS (we got it made) SHIT'S BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BABY OKAY This just in: We're all going to hell I hope you freaks are all pleased with yourselves Shit man, just as well, the way thing's have been I'm a colicky brat breaking shit in his playpen Now then, bring on the damned global warming Fire my AR-15 without warning Certifable nonstop party rocking Vanish into dust if I ever stop talking Cuz I am the future, I am the worst case I don't understand what you mean in the first place I like my apocalypse boiling and sunny Thank you Mr. Koch for all money Get out of the cities, head to higher ground Just me to myself in a fortified compound Hands down, that's it, I've had it, enough Will the real Hitler please stand up? ITS OBVIOUS (we got it) VICTORIOUS (we got it made) SHITS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BABY OKAY (we got it made) SHITS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BABY OKAY oh no oh oh no oh It's the part where it clicks, the part where you get it The part where you say it out loud Here's where it sticks, never forget it Cuz this is the part where you figure me out I'm a Sixteen-gauge pressure turn me up Right now: burning on a ball of dust Right now: killing everything at once Right now, right now coz Eighteen-gauge ventilator turn me on Right now: rock it 'til the break of dawn Right now: everything i know is wrong Right now right now right now ITS OBVIOUS (we got it) VICTORIOUS (we got it made) SHITS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BABY OKAY (we got it made) SHITS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BABY OKAY

Break, bend, hit again Low expectations, no friends So smart, so let us pretend So good to see you, here at the end Glory to you, the latest in crisis Who even cares what wrong or what right is? Nervous and lousy, errors compounding Go on, you princess, it's priceless Rip me apart without reason Five down, twenty-seven at large Come out with all of your demons, darling They'll have a word with whoever's in charge You're such a perfect disaster Goodbye you malevolent waste Give our regards to your master And the grenade going off in your face Second verse, even worse, fuck it It's fine now, it's fine now, it's fine everything's exactly the way that you think that is it's other people's problem, not yours i guess we're just not as smart as you i guess we don't think about things with depth or with nuance it's this wokeness, it's this cancel culture that spot's not getting bigger, your ex misses you more Rip me apart without reason Five down, twenty-seven at large Come out with all of your demons, darling They'll have a word with whoever's in charge You're such a perfect disaster Goodbye you malevolent waste Give our regards to your master And the grenade going off in your face it's fine now Hell sent, Heaven bent Nothing left, fuck it to death Rip me apart without reason Five down, twenty-seven at large Come out with all of your demons, darling They'll have a word with whoever's in charge You're such a perfect disaster Goodbye you malevolent waste Give our regards to your master And the grenade going off in your face I'm like ooh-la-la-la....

Johnny had a problem with the way that things had been Johnny could've let it go, he could have made amends Johnny could've shrugged it off, Johnny could have passed through But Johnny didn't have to (Johnny didn't have to) Johnny could've been a man, he could've found his grace Johnny could've wiped that stupid look right off his face Johnny could've stuffed his yap with honey-roasted cashews But Johnny didn't have to (Johnny didn't have to) Johnny should've known he could have showed some damn respect Johnny could have heard the click he could have hit the deck you know that JOHNNY COULD'VE SAVED HIS NECK IF WHAT HE KNEW WERE HALF TRUE BUT JOHNNY DIDNT HAVE TO JOHNNY DIDNT HAVE TO JOHNNY COULD'VE COOLED IT OFF NO NEED TO GET DRASTIC NOW HE HEARS THE HAMMERS DRIVING NAILS INTO HIS CASKET JOHNNY DIDNT KNOW NO BETTER JOHNNY COULDNT LOSE JOHNNY DIDNT HAVE TO JOHNNY DIDNT HAVE TO Johnny.

Are you happy now? Are you happy now that nothing has changed Are you happy now? Happy somehow? Are you happy there where nothing remains? Where nothing remains, of anything, of anything, you say If anything's changed, it's in your head Where nothing remains Are you happy now? Are you happy with the low and deranged? Are you happy now? Happy somehow? Are you happy there where nothing remains? Where nothing remains, of anything, of anything, you say If anything's changed, it's in your heart Where nothing remains Are you happy now? Are you happy there where nothing remains? Are you happy now? Are you happy there where nothing remains...
