Warning Song 00:20
It's been a weird last couple of months, so sorry if this one's a turd My dreams used to be Debussy, but now they're more like Schoenberg You know that you would turn my head so fast it'd make my neck snap And though I like the scenery I never took of the lens cap Because I sing songs about myself It's a subject that I'm always on So if that doesn't float your boat Consider this your warning song

I'm insane And a big fan of hyperbole Am I in pain? Or is pain something that's in me? I learned its name When I scratched it in the trunk of that old tree These catacombs Let's explore just me and you And as for Rome We can build it in a day or two So come on home Don't make me beg cause that'd be nothing new I've been sleeping in my dreams You can hardly see the seams And you could plant that tree To grow some shade for me While the sun shines on its leaves This tepid soul I know that you hate the taste It's natural So lead me to the path of grace Is lying cold The only way to free me from my brain I'd be unborn Of water, spirit and of flesh The things I've worn Now cleaned of colors I've undressed But now I'm torn Cause whining about it is fun and hurts much less My dreams deceased inside my head Ceaselessly asleep in bed And you will plant a tree To grow instead of me Though I'm choking on the seeds

Good Enough 02:52
If looks could kill You'd be my suicide I could feel so well Warm wet giver of still life Grapefruit and blood And asphalt in the rain Smell good enough To keep me here one more day And Jesus knows my brain Why anything? Why this? Why faces? Why molecules? What makes me want to sing? Who gives a fuck? Why music? What makes a song worth listening? Here's where I whine and moan, cause the chorus has a glimpse of hope I can't make up my mind

Why? 00:28
Alright folks, we're almost done but indulge me in this epilogue I thought if I'm doing the whole cry for help, I might as well make it a song So I sang out all the piss and shit from deep down in my dark heart And though it isn't total crap it ain't exactly Mozart Now that this done I guess I'll live until I die But friends and family and Jesus Christ still can't seem to tell me why
