I'm a teenage asshole and school's out I'm bored out of my mind, I've got nothing So I wander around the forest Standing knee deep in brush because there's no trails I'll be like Fred Durst You'll be like Cate Wurtz I'll have no involvement With your volatile solvents Sleeping in grass, getting involved with music Sometimes I just observe, some times I make it I drown myself in antipsychotics I hear music but my headphones are turned off I'll be like Fred Durst You'll be like Cate Wurtz I'll have no involvement With your volatile solvents Stare at people's heads, try to make em' explode Riding roller coasters that were closed long ago We went swimming in one of those weird Blue Holes Thought I drowned but I felt my skin burning out I'll be like Fred Durst You'll be like Cate Wurtz I'll have no involvement With your volatile solvents I need to find a job so I can be just as miserable and get paid while doing it I need to find a job so I can write songs where I complain about having a job It's not worth it though

The curses and the spirits Have all been reawakened My face is peeling off my head Who's hand have I just shaken? The past has come to present I just don't buy into that This world is full of scary things They're hiding under my hat Now the world seems to be slowing down I sleep underneath a tree I cannot feel the spirits Throwing sticks and stones at me The world just seems to melt away It's only you & I who stay This has been such a perfect day But I still can't hear what you say

I almost drowned in the deep blue water So we started looking for new water We lost our minds at Cedar Creek We were the parasites of Cedar Creek But nothing got better No, nothing I got better No nothing got better, no it only got worse I thought it would get better I thought it would get better I thought it would get better but it only got worse But nothing got better But nothing got better I thought it would get better but it only got worse But nothing got better But nothing got better I thought it would get better but it only got worse

I noticed you were gone when I went out for a walk I called you on the phone but you didn't want to talk We embrace the waste He can't think but he knows what I'm thinking He lives outside because his house is sinking Steps on his girlfriend and kisses the sidewalk Happiness is hidden behind his backtalk Got on my knees and I started to crawl Into the space between the couch and the wall Laugh hard, it's a long way to the bank If not, then oh well I hope you're fine, but, well If not, then oh well I never really knew what the world was about I just woke up and decided to become a boy scout When I told you the past was a canceled check That was way back when I wanted to be beck You say you like to go back to the past I wish that I could But in recent years I've begun to realize The good times were never that good If not, then oh well Nobody lives in a paper town There ain't no building and there ain't no ground There ain't no sun to change the day The sky turns white and it fades away They painted the walls before the big slip It started to fade and it started to chip It's a very faint pink, it was red back then But nobody really feels like painting it red again So you're picking up the pieces of your lives Swimming in the creek and scratching at your hives If you could live your life like you were in a sitcom You wouldn't know what to do with your freedom Well the ice caps will melt and they'll turn into sea And the oceans of Ritalin will not protect me The trapdoors don't work when you leave them open They become another hole you'll forget not to fall in Like a god that does good things when he's godly Like a devil that does bad things when he's devilish I have no control over the things you tell me I do I have no control over the things I need to control Ow! When you look me in the eyes and you say "Breathe manually" "Breathe manually" My brain stops getting oxygen and I will start to suffocate It's that feeling you get when you take the blue pill and the red pill at the same time It's that face you make when you drink apple cider vinegar and alkaline water at the same time We used to throw our stones Now all we have is sticks We didn't have cellphones In 2006 Once I was a man on a foreign moon When the shadows disappeared on the fifth of June But then I had to take my head off the pillow No, no, no

So I know I like to jerk off And I know I laugh at sex jokes And I can love boys and girls But I really don't like to touch them It's a difficult situation That I don't like to be stuck in But it's too hard to get out of So I'm trapped in this sexual limbo We wore black shirts and blue jeans I know what she likes, don't know what she means We're just a couple of stupid teens Push each other into the wrong scenes There were snowflakes on our shoulders In the hottest days of summer And our hair was always shiny Just like a solar panel And our pants were always baggy And our shirts were never on forwards And we never took a shower Because everything had to have meaning I don't care if nobody else cares I just want what's best for both of us Because we're holding each other back And we're just not all that healthy Well you stuck your fingers down your throat You looked like some bones inside a coat But when you look in the mirror Your reflection never gets clearer You can walk ten miles in a day But the fat will never go away If you don't learn how to love yourself Put your pin back on your shelf My teeth could fall out of my mouth And my skin could bleed and fall apart And my hair could hit my shoulders I only cared about not caring Well you grew a poppy under your bed But it grew into a human head And it tried to bite your fingers off And I watched you let it happen I fell in love for some reason But I won't make that mistake again I assumed that since you had my heart You'd return it when you're done with it

For every ditch that I started to dig Some else dug one that's twice as big I'm so bored because I have nothing to do Except for the stuff I have to do for you Occupation Dock-your-pay-tion It ain't much but it's more than we've got When I finally get anything done My time is up so I have to start another one When I finally get anything done My time is up so I have to start another one Treat me like your garbage Resting in a parking lot Treat me like your garbage Step on me without a thought We made a speed bump out of our bodies But that don't matter 'cause it's easy to make copies When I finally get anything done My time is up so I have to start another one When I finally get anything done My time is up so I have to start another one

Brother, you've been working harder than you have to You know I want nothing more than to be like you Your big boots stretch into the sky I know I'll never fill em, but I'll damned if I don't try If you jumped off a bridge I would follow you If you fell down a well I would follow you Brother, you're in pain you have erasers in your stomach I'm sorry for all the stress I have caused If you jumped off a bridge I would follow you If you fell down a well I would follow you

Inside my head I guess I'm doing fine Inside my head the sun began to shine Does time slow down when you're bored or does it stop? Does time slow down when you're high or does it drop? If you cut down a pine tree it will grow back But you can die if you have a heart attack It would be so easy to be dead With nothing going on inside my head Hey can I go now? I've gotta go now Hey can I go now? I've gotta go now

I'll climb heaven's ladder I'll climb into the sky But I don't think I'll reach it Before I start to die I'll climb heaven's ladder But there's a broken rung That means my soul is tainted That means my song is sung If heaven is full of people Then take me straight to hell Cause people are always talking Like a speak and spell You're giving me a headache

All the ships have already been sunk All the thoughts have already been thunk All the ghosts have already been debunked All the songs I've written have stunk I'm wearing my old clothes That you can tell that I loathe Have frostbite in my toes So I've got my eyes closed The air is really thin up here But we couldn't go back if we wanted to, so let's just deal Carry me Home, home (Repeat) Carry me

Once there was a man from a foreign moon Spent a long lonely night in Saskatoon Decided he would stay to the fifth of June Spent another lonely night in Saskatoon Got nothing to gain, got nothing to lose Spent another lonely night in Saskatoon When he made enough money he would leave real soon Spent the rest of his nights in Saskatoon I want out A man claims he's allergic to electricity A man claims in a past life he died protecting the free A man claims he can help cure him of his allergy A man claims he can confirm his authenticity Let's give them medicine Let's make them veterans Let's give them attention Let's give them a mention

We all just float away We all just float away Until everyone Goes above the sun Where the air is thin There we can begin I'm in love with you Perfect skies of blue Everyone looks so small from here

Everybody wants to be Somewhere they can go for free So I started therapy And everything is starting to look up for me Got my truths and got my lies I lose myself behind those eyes But when every part of me dies I'll just sweep up my disguise Take me to the forest To unload my head Then take me to the High School To fill it up again But I think I'm still a person I still have thoughts I still have feelings I think I'm ready for the hard part I think I'm ready for the hard part The old fart was smart Captain Beefheart playing on my stereo Got that pavement going too "Brighten The Corners", "Better Than You" "Slanted & Enchanted" isn't that good I think it's overrated Blind date with the chancer We had oysters and dried lancers And the check, when it arrived We went "dutch! dutch! dutch! dutch!"

If I could share the moon with anybody at all I would share the moon with you I don't know why I come outside, I smell the air I'm fine For the first time in a hundred years Charlie asked god "Hey, what should I do?" Algernon replied with "Dude, fuck you." "Never been as fucked up as you." Well the sun has set and I'm still happy I don't think a pill could do that Something got better Yeah, something got better Yeah, something got better but I'm not sure what I don't know why it's better I don't know why it's better I don't know why it's better, cause I thought it got worse I think I'm finally ready To not know when I'm ready I think I think I just don't know
