Piney, Part 1

We are walking through the walls
And ignoring all the phone calls
Because they're probably from a robot
Incapable of any complex thought
The world's round, our eyes are rounder
After four years I finally found her and
She hangs with a bunch of dicks
I'm so careless with my stones and sticks
This guitar's my personal morphine
I enjoy it when I drink caffeine
Now that I'm coming down, though
This song is musical Drano
Put in effort, they'll hold the door
But you won't get far without a whore
Or maybe you should become a whore too
Because everybody else is just like you
I'm so sorry if I make you sad
But this life can make you feel so bad
So I waste it laying in the pines
In the needles and the parking fines
Maybe my eggs ain't supposed to hatch
Maybe my brain is a double eyepatch
Let the dogs chew off my dead skin
My best friend is moving to Camden
And I'll never see him again
I'll count the DMs that I send him
I hope he finds a nice place to stay
I just want him to be okay
I make a hundred dollars in a week
This fucking paycheck is an antique
Now I know why stomachs don't get full
Getting fucked in conceivable hole
You know I can't commit to suicide
But I wouldn't mind not being alive
And I don't know if I'm gay or straight or bi
But sex is gross so I won't try
We take vending machine Prozac
That ensures we always come back
Once I was too young to get acne
Well now I'm too young to be happy
Fuck you, man, I'm a person too
I deserve the same treatment you do
And I know what it's like to lose
Because I lost all respect for you
You know I'm tired of being lonely
I'm just a kid in the name only
And I'm scared of responsibility
Life is an exercise in futility
For once I want to love someone
And I know this shit is overdone
But I want to feel them love me too
And I want someone who looks like you
And I want their hand to hold my hand
We don't even have to love same bands
I want someone I give attention
And feel some joy in three dimensions
But my head feels like a fucking brick
In the wall of someone else's chick tract
We need love like any other child
We're not children we have been defiled
No
No no no no no
Please don't leave me alone
Please don't leave me alone
I don't wanna be alone no more
Please don't leave me alone

Nobody Cares
04:04
|
|

I was born in a people factory
Coming off of the hot seat
Yeah
You say you're having a hard time
Well you should meet some friends of mine
Yeah
I've got freedom
From the pressure
And yet I still feel
The pressure
I get away
With anything
Because no one
Fucking cares
Nobody cares about me at all
Nobody cares about me at all
Drinking stagnant water
When it's getting hotter
Cause we've gotta hydrate
I'm not a fucking ingrate
Nobody cares about me at all
Nobody cares about me at all

We Hate Ourselves
03:09
|
|
||
|
Our outer space is strange and new and full of thin air
We hate ourselves but we will claim that we do not care
Chop up our bodies but our limbs will always grow back
So many ways to see their minds are getting off track
We'll never know the pleasures that the old have used up
They could've had the best so why'd they have to choose us
We kill ourselves so much it starts to become funny
They call us spoiled but we have no spending money
My broken bones have left me still and cold and so blue
Only use ten percent but I don't think that is true
I took myself apart but nothing there was broken
I held my stomach out before I had awoken
We sailed around the world but no one did it gladly
Found lots of people but we never found them happy
This lonesome carousel is spinning counter-clockwise
We rode forever so we know that nothing here dies
No, nothing ever dies

From Now On
02:36
|
|
||
|
From now on
I'll be thinking
I'll worry about the choice I'm making
Yeah
From now on
I will slow down
Don't you fret about the world speed limit here
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
From now on I'm not meant to be
I'm not meant to be

Laughing At Me
05:32
|
|
||
|
Something is wrong with the world that I live in
It might not be real and I could just be having a
Dreams are a burden that I carry through the choices that aren't choices at all
And society is hollow and stupid and it barely functions without all the screaming and the bickering
I hate being around people
But I'm lonely without them
God damn it why is it so complicated
So complicated in everything
We can buy another place to claim for the aliens
Sent from their mother ship to steal all the resources
From the people they hate, those god damn people
With thick greasy fingers and heads full of jell-o
It's time to wake up, up, up
It's time to wake up, up, up

Isolation (Worthless)
04:15
|
|
||
|
You can try to be friendly
You can try to be clear
But things will never get better
As long as you aren't here
It starts out when you watch others
Your friends have stopped being sad
They found the people that love them
The only friends that you had
I
Hate
My
Self
You
Hate
Your
Self
Soon it creeps up inside you
It starts to fuck with your head
You feel like you're full of poison
You can't get out of your bed
You're desperate for some contact
Though you've got friends all around
You've been locked up in confinement
Forget how to hear a sound
I
Love
Your
Self
You
Hate
My
Self

Under The Stars
06:37
|
|
||

Under ice cold shooting stars
1 AM, getting ready to go
Silently, I will slip out
In the cold, laying out in the snow
Is it bad if I give up
Only one chance, one way to escape
Sorry for all the problems
Crooked mind, got it bent out of shape
And maybe soon I will join them
I will slip through the air and explore
But what if things get better
I have to wonder who I'm doing this for
But then it comes back to me again
My heart is slow but my brain is fast
It's sitting there and it watches
End it first though I came in last
But in my head and in my spine
I wake up now and I feel fine
I try to stand but I'm in too deep
I'm held down by the arms of sleep
It hurts so much, I'm eaten alive
By what is real and what's inside
It makes me hate the world I love
The world I hate way up above
And all my friends are there for me
But my head splits when they can't be
And I just lost someone great
They went too early and came too late
Forgive me master, whom I have defied
Our glory days are too glorified
I am so tired and so afraid
I cut my hair but long it stayed
There's a quarantine it's just for me
With a plastic curtain so I can't see
But I can hear the words they say
The doctors want to take me away
It's so overwhelming, I didn't mean it
I like to stand where the losers sit
I'm alienated by everybody
It is nothing, I'm its understudy
It makes me hate my god damn body
I hate my fingers they move so oddly
I hate my hair, always too long
I hate my mouth it can't sing songs
I hate my tooth with the yellow stain
I hate my spine, it eats my brain
I hate my feet they're way too slow
I hate my eyes they never grow
I hate my stomach it hates me too
I hate my emotions and what they do
I hate my face it's at a loss
It represents me in your thoughts
But there's a thing that pounces when I'm weak
It likes to attack and it likes to sneak
It controls my emotions and my sums
I swallow pennies and pay with crumbs
It keeps me still in a lathargic state
But I can break free, it's not too late
I run away, but it gives chase
The cold rose up and it has no face
My side is split and I'm out of breath
I'm running from the ice of death
I have a place but I don't know where
In the corners of eyes it still sits there
And I cannot breathe this air no more
It's obliteration, it's mental gore
And I can scream and I can cry
But no one knows exactly why
But I see a light, it's fading out
A distant star without a doubt
I might be safe but I can't be sure
I take a pill and lock the door
I have gone deaf, I lost my mind
It's always waiting right behind
It watches me, it waits to strike
Knowing what I hate and like
And I break down and I cry for help
But no one can hear what I felt
It keeps me cold and in my place
It wears a smile but has it has no face

It's hard to find any motivation at all
And it's hard to stand when you just want to fall
And it's hard to sleep with someone watching you
And it's hard to survive when you don't know what to do
I've been running for a thousand years but now I'm out of breath
I've been running for a thousand years but now I feel like death
Swimming in a pool of embalming liquid
I've trapped myself inside a blank white room
Surrounded by skin that I stole from the womb
The world is out of sink with the sun and moon
You try to fall asleep but the sky is way too blue
But the world says "Hey, man"
What am I running from?
What am I running from?
What am I running from?
Now I don't have to run
What am I running from?
What am I running from?
What am I running from?
Maybe I don't have to run
What
Please let me sleep (Let me out)
Please let me sleep (Let me out)
Please let me sleep (Let me out)
I need to sleep (Let me out)

Beautiful Feelings
04:17
|
|
||
|
Drifting along
Sing a song
That is quiet but still fun
Stare at the sun
When you're done
Look at the brightside, now you're blind
Left behind
Now I find
You're abusive, I can't stay
Need today
Anyway
You are perfect, not okay
Oh oh oh
Your art is beautiful
Your mind is beautiful
You are so beautiful
And I don't care about real life no more
Life of delays
Seven days
Love is nothing, love is nothing
So we sing
On our strings
We dance like puppets on a stage
Minimum wage
I can try my best but I will not succeed
You take the lead
All I need
We will consume our rivals with our budding friendship and our love
Your eyes are beautiful
And I love your sense of humor
And you hate the jokes that I don't tell
And I don't know what to say when I
Feel like this can't go away but
Over time the lust won't come
I'll feel too much it'll make me numb
When the feelings are too strong
They can never last that long
And I woke up and all the feelings were gone

Church Burns Down
05:14
|
|
||
|
Everyone is going home and locking up their doors
The children burn the churches down and rob convenience stores
The system breaks, we shave our heads and go and start some wars
We shoot our friends and hide their heads inside our dresser drawers
It's alright because it doesn't matter anymore
By now the world is spinning backwards, roles have been erased
We're sucking up the little crumbs and drowning in the paste
The music drags but everybody keeps on dancing anyway
We'll dance all night in peace and joy until the darkness turns to day
But until that moment comes I'd like to have a little fun
I'll drink and laugh and talk and think about the things that I have done
We'll set aside the boundaries placed upon us by the old
There will be no pressure to do anything that we are told
The feelings that we have are raw and real and never fake
We will want what we will give and we'll need what we will take
Maybe I'll regret my actions later if I get a chance
But until the churches burn, man, I think I'd rather dance
Home
We need to
We need to
We need to go back

Kickin' + Screamin'
02:06
|
|
||
|
Well when I'm mad I like to shout
And carry on and raise some doubt
I don't what it's all about
You're gonna have to drag me out
Kickin' and screamin'
Kickin' and screamin'

Burden Of These Dreams
03:22
|
|
||
|
Sometimes I wish I was a car
You could drive me far
Sometimes I wish I was a stillborn
I'd never even exist
I am tethered to this body
Wish I could ditch it in the woods
Dreams are my burden
I will carry them my whole life
I'll always love them
But they will rot in my hands
There's nothing I can do now
I could be doing something else
|

I stopped at your place while I was walking home one day
You wanted me to stay
And I said "Okay"
You took me to your bedroom
It was very sloppy, just like mine
You showed me all your favorite records
We listened to your records
And now they are my favorites too
Just because they remind me of you
You love when I love when you are around
Your folks were out of town
Our lives were upside down
We needed something that the other's got
In conciousness or thought
The glances that we caught
We stayed up all night talking
We were staring at your room's white ceiling
We talked about each other's problems
Only cared about the other's problems
But if I try to lean against you I will surely fall
Just because there's nothing there to hold me up at all
Now of course this didn't happen instantly
It took three years to see
That you're in love with me
I hope everything in your life is fine
Our lives start to combine
Your hand is holding mine
I need love
I need love
I need love
I need love
I need love
I need love
I need love

Weight Of The World

Something's gotta change
Something's gotta change
Nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change
Gotta go to bed
Gotta got to bed
Gotta get to sleep
Gotta rest my head
Nothing is real
Nothing is real
Everything is fake
Everything is fake
Tea and sugar sand
Tea and sugar sand
Throw a little dirt
On the concrete
Pine barren lives
Pine barren lives
Lonely and the same
Lonely and the same
It kills you real slow
Kills you real slow
Soon you're running for the beach
Running for the beach
Glad I'm not alive
Glad I'm not alive
I don't know what to do with you at all
The weight
Of the world
Crushing
My head
Wait
For the bus
I'll sleep with
The dead
Oh

Piney, Parts 2 & 3
08:43
|
|

(Part 2)
I don't wanna be sad anymore
But it's to late to change what I'm here for
We're tired of living these lives
Throw in the towel, I've failed three times
I can't keep on running from this shit
But when I try to stop my legs won't quit
I think they know better than you or I
My legs can move but my eyes can cry
And maybe everything will cease to exist
After my conciousness has been dismissed
To us reality shouldn't be real
Makes us feel horrible, but we can deal
And maybe someday I will lose my head
I'll never have to get out of bed
You hid my head in your dresser drawer
Don't have to talk when there's a lock on the door
After I'm gone the world will be okay
(Part 3)
These days I don't know who I am no more
It makes me wonder what I'm still living for
I've been growing further from those I call friends
The only things I'm eating is fingers and pens
And it doesn't matter what you can say
I'll always feel hatred the anyway
You can say that isn't true to my ear
I can respond but my brain will not hear
Doctor says I'm paranoid and he's right
No way to know what they do out of sight
Brain rejects reality and whatever I can see
I sound so crazy but they're laughing at me
And I've never known how it feels to have friends
I'm not alone but I am in my head
That god damn head
I wish I didn't have one
I wish I was a bird that can fly away when he gets bored
Look at the quiet lives
Look at the quiet lives
