This is a drill, it’s nothing new, oh yeah you’ve seen this all before until it kills you
This is a vessel for you to voice your opinions from and nothing more
I’m going through the motions of a growing boy until it kills me and it will
It’s in your head it’s in your mind where you dream
when the days start to feel real short what’s really wrong?
I turn to granite, turn to marble or slate
metamorphose back to the original state
I turn the TV on, is anyone home?
It feels just like the calm before the storm

I miss dropping LEGO boats in the stream that made Walsh Park
Its cut back banks with my brothers in the rain
And when the hundred-year flood hit my neighborhood
I wasn’t sure whether I’d sink or swim
Well shit, don’t look back, we’re better off now
Nostalgia is the fog
Well the sun’s all tangled up in the clouds
Through the trees the bees are really loud as they
Buzz right through my ear to my brain and I
Can’t stop freaking out, I’m insane
Dude I’m allergic to bees, I mean
Mildly but still, I mean
Mildly but still
An inner peace in the quarry crater came over me
I’ll have to save that for later
Tethered to the notion that I’m not ready
Sugarcoat it candy-coat it
That’s the only way to get through
Sugarcoat it candy-coat it
Don’t give it to me straight, doc
Crystal and shiny silver, I never felt so fancy, gilded, brazen with no parents home
Lifted retreating, our confidence fleeting, I’m a chandelier on the ceiling
Serene sounds of angels, our ears are bleeding, buzzing still from cousin house
Buzzing still from cousin house, buzzing still from cousin house, buzzing still
Buzzing still from cousin house, way out back behind the house, buzzing still from cousin house
Wavy we wave, waving as we wave, bobbing in the ocean of people and pearls,
Heads are glistening, we hear the whispers in the air (in the air)
Heart attack or large fries, I don’t feel as fancy as I once did
Buzzing still from cousin house, buzzing still from cousin house, buzzing still
Buzzing still from cousin house, way out back behind the house, buzzing still from cousin house
Buzzing still from cousin house, way out back behind the house, buzzing still from cousin house

I, I, I, yeah I was really, I, I, I was thinkin’ I’d be home by now, yeah I’d be home by now
I, I, I, yeah I was really, I, I, I was thinkin’ I was someplace else, I must’ve got misplaced again,
I must’ve got misplaced again
Everyday is the same, is the same, and then it’s over ‘fore it even began
Everyday is the same, is the same, I wonder if it’s ever gonna change
I don’t accept the notion that it’s less fucked up to let them hoard their wealth
Hide behind the news you own, six-hundred million dead eyes clap in unison, along in unison, along in unison
How about we cut the obvious bullshit?
I’m sure you worked hard, but not that hard
Sharing is caring is the new law
Or do we have to eat you up?

We’ll play hospital with the picture books
Our parents nearly left behind
We’ll make believe you’re a general
And I’m the nurse that saves you, saves you
Yeah our grandparents sure are pretty old, there’s no sense doing what you’re told
Yeah our grandparents sure are pretty old, there’s no sense doing what you’re told
I hope I die before I get old, I’ll die in a picture frame
Yeah our grandparents sure are pretty old, there’s no sense doing what you’re told
The sirens, go! Wrong timeline, I’ll just have to put my shit on hold
Don’t be afraid of your decay, it’s only yesterday
I get stronger every day, what’s the rush, what’s the rush, what’s the rush?
What’s the rush? What’s the rush?!
The faces, flow! So many, history won’t remember you
And I can’t remember…
Dip my clothes in liquid gold, I wanna look the best that I can
With my bones all made out of stone, I wanna be around long after I’m gone
Dip my friends in liquid gold, you’re not going anywhere
With my head all made out of twine, it takes everything just to unwind
Dip my friends in liquid gold, you’re not going anywhere
With my bones all made out of stone, I wanna be around long after I’m gone

Remember when
I used to call you all the time
That doesn’t happen anymore
We’re too preoccupied with all our stuff
It seems so pointless when we put it that way
Remember when
We went out to the forest behind your parents’ house
We set off that flare and made out in the grass
The fractal patterns hint at behind the veil
As we cast spells, refracted through time
Reaching out through, a collection of fates
The stars don’t remember each other even after they’ve collided
And I think I have the same inclination as them
My inhibitions in the way of my ambitions again
I feel like a cloud, or maybe more like wet sand
What happens now, right brain eats left brain rearrange just like it’s supposed to
When what you dream, turns out to be real

Numb Sum
05:56
|

Stretched out on stretchers, I lay my head back
My wallet’s stretched pretty thin
The most expensive cab ride ever conceived
I bet my insurance loves me
At least somebody loves me
At least somebody loves me
At least somebody loves me like the dollar sign I am
I’d give you an arm, I’d give you a leg
Just to check out my remaining arm and leg
Can you fix me
Can you prevent it all in the first place
Hung up on hang-ups, I can hardly relate, that’s not how I do business
No time for patients, please hone your patience, don’t call us we’ll call on you
Succumb to care so reactionary, become one of the numb sum
Heaved up to heaven and I can’t help but laugh, I guess the big guy likes me
I guess the big guy likes me
I guess the big guy likes me
I guess that we’re going steady
I guess that we’re going steady
And you are exactly who you’re supposed to be, supposed to be
And you are exactly who you’re supposed to be, supposed to be

It’s in the air, it’s incredible, can you feel it, I want you to feel it too
It’s electric in the earth
It’s rebirth, it’s incredible what we can accomplish when we work together
Holy shit, I think you’re my best friend in the universe, name one thing and you know it’s done
We’re one in the same
But it’s a loaded question, I wanna stay inside,
What’s up? I can’t keep up
I wish my actions spoke louder than my head
Do you suffer, I suffer too
Do you suffer, I suffer too
Do you suffer, you know we don’t have to
It’s a neuron constellation
Just to think of what to say
Ease up, pump the brakes a bit
It’s no big deal, I don’t care what ya say, I don’t wanna mess this one up
I mean it’s no consolation
There’s a symphony in an idle mind
Just tune in and you’ll hear it
I don’t wanna tell you how to think
But show me the line between me and I because right now it seems to me
That I’ve looked at this thing from every angle
Or so I thought, was that even me?
Hive mind, I can’t change mine
Sour metallic lingers in my mouth
Do I change, or stay the same?

All of the animals at the zoo, they’re staging a coup tonight
And I’m inspired, yeah I perspire all the while
Little links in the fence, they seem so innocent with their intents
Though I wonder who makes these and why we even have them
As I turn my head from the security feed, I assume my animal skin
I want reception of the truths that bind all living things
All my friends stretched out in a line
I coulda swore it’d go for miles
But that’s okay, yeah that’s okay
I need some new ones anyway
That’s the root of all my problems, they’re the same, just unresolved
From earlier on, from earlier on
It just hasn’t dawned on me yet
It just won’t dawn on me yet
It just won’t dawn on me yet
It just won’t dawn on me yet
I’ll pick my point in space, let that resound behind my face
‘Cause radiation’s all I’ve got, radiation’s all I’ve got
And I’ll time travel inside my bed, sleep for days, stay in my head
There’s always sleepies in my eyes, there’s always sleepies in my eyes
All my friends stretched out in a line
I coulda swore it’d go for miles
But that’s okay, yeah that’s okay
I’ll reach the moon some other way
All my friends stretched out in a line
I coulda swore it’d go for miles
But that’s okay, yeah that’s okay
I need some new ones anyway
That’s the root of all my problems
They’re the same, just unresolved
From earlier on, from earlier on
It just hasn’t dawned on me yet

Wake up to another way to break my bones
I feel like the last kid at the swimmin’ hole
And the water’s all gone, it’s just the rock, rock, rock and roll
But still I can’t help wonder where the head goes when you’re dead
But still I can’t help wonder where the head goes when you’re dead
Very delicate, tracing out the scene of the crime
Carbon, skeleton, carving out the scene of the crime
[All flights are cancelled, we are sure sorry for the inconvenience]
There’s no money, how could there be no money?
How could there be no money, how could there be no money?
There’s no money, how could there be no money?
How could there be no money, how could there be no money?

First it’s the seatbelt, I feel myself launch straight through the windshield
Then it’s the pavement, I feel myself walking straight
Did you know there’s no such thing as upside down?
Did you know there’s no upside down?
Did you know there’s no upside down?
I feel weird, I need a drink I need to wash down the sentiment
When the truth sets in, I feel the disconnect between what I thought and what can happen
I came in through the door, no that can’t be right,
I came in through the window about a half an hour before I knew I was coming
Don’t go getting upset over things you can’t control
Don’t go getting upset over things you can’t control

We cut all our hands
On the limestone and sand
Tie ribbons around my head
Don’t get upset
The storm weathers on
And despite the door
Gale forced its way in
Mas and/or menos
Inside this house there is a hurricane tearing me apart
Inside this house there is a lava flow burning me alive
The light it writhes
On the stress-soaked boards of this
Driftwood construction
One miserable production
The spirals withdrew
From the ongoing slew
Of broken synapses
Hand-me-down collapses
Inside this house there is a hurricane tearing me apart
Inside this house there is a landslide mucking it up
I crawled to the roof, the top of the crow’s nest, to see nothing left
A body of water with a mind of its own
Then just for me, fireworks
They’re working against me, set on the horizon, conspire against me
The end of the world in twelve shades
It weaves in and out, more and/or less, don’t wanna endure this
It’s working against me
It’s nestled against me, ah
It’s working against me
It’s nestled against me
Inside this head there is a message exploding
Inside this head there is a muscle with a death-wish

Oh god, if there is a god, computer god is that you?
Plug in, plug in to the universal rhythm
Oh god, oh god, am I honest, do you care?
Subscribe, subscribe to the dogma that is fair
Cause I can, I can feel it on the internet
Try to buy a little magic online
Hot day in the car, I used to swear I could see a glitch
In the road, up in front, the convection melted my eyes
At home, on the couch I used to swear I could see through the pillows
Oh god, oh god, everything’s all translucent
Like a mirror that reflects some similarity
But the pixels get all choked up
On the little things

The Movies

Movie magic, matching outfits, tiny wines, why complain?
These fucked up lenses on set all day
Movie magic in my veins, only five years away
Billboards and TV will rot my brain
Just let the movie magic decay anyway
Screw the film, bye bye, I don’t wanna die, I don’t wanna die
Screw the pay, bye bye, I don’t wanna die, I’m the star of the show
Fuck this shit, bye bye, I don’t wanna die, unless it’s my way
Screw the pay, bye bye, I’m an animal, cast me as such
Lights, fame, you know what I look like
Shit figures, it’s all the same
Mistakes, in the movies, the silver screen, it’s grainy
I wanna die, on the big screen, recorded, for all to see
I wanna die, on the big screen, recorded, for all to see

I guess that we’re going steady
I guess that we’re going steady
And you are exactly who you’re supposed to be, supposed to be
And you are exactly who you’re supposed to be, supposed to be
