Green Earth 02:27
Every growing thing on this god’s green earth Always reminds me of you Leads to me hurt Makes me feel blue Curse every growing thing on this place And if I hate it so much Then why are you still here Leave me down there in a pit of mud Lead me to destruction by my own hand I will writhe and bellow Under cloudy skies I howl Can’t talk my way out of this one Every growing thing on this god’s green earth I’m jealous they’re hogging your light Down in the dirt here where I belong To my muggy bed I will return I have had my day in the sun Too bad it’s over, gotta run

Rats 02:35
Shut the front door Get the fuck out Will you be my friend tonight In an armpit Or a sewer Find yourself in a hole in the wall See your breath in a garbage room Be left out, be alone tonight Too drunk, should have walked No one wants to hang out tonight Ask the rats to share Can I bum a beer Have you got a light Be my friend tonight

Electroencephalograph is looking pretty negative Cardiogram same I'm just looking pretty grim, won't you say I guess I am Exactly what you say Check the brain scan My aura's whatever colour because I can't see the difference Immune system rushes to defence When infringed upon the borders close You beat your head against the wall
4.
I am a wreck Sometimes Beyond saving That's true Pain Of Some Times It's sick Shut the fuck up All of your energy Is wasted on me It isn't hard Let's work To rock this hard This out It's being soft I've gotta learn So many people with nothing to say Contribute nothing but find a way (Even this part is better Than anything you've got)
5.
Can't all be good ideas Quantity over quality Why would you wanna tangle with me Make me your monster of the week Yeah you know I'll always lose But at least I'll look cool You make my monsters grow Throw down your magic wand I'll do whatever you want Can't all be good ideas But where's the fun in always winning A giant monster never stays down I'll always be back again

Wait shit There it goes now Alone and headed downtown Yeah that's it There goes my song I heard it but it sounds wrong
7.
All I want is to be so still All I want is to be like a pond Without any ripples, undisturbed Reflecting the stars when things are clear And no more sounds will come from me That's what I call the sound of the summer Oh yeah well I'm gonna be so still I'm gonna be so totally chill I am so fucking calm I'm gonna practice being so still
8.
VS 02:18
If you choose to fight yourself You will fight your whole life Chasing peace out of reach As long as you go against Resisting the flow There you go again Conflict within That's why so much conflict without It’s not me vs you It’s me vs me vs me vs me vs the universe No one can be harder You will eventually forget I have to catch myself I’m stuck with who I am You are not in the moment Til you look around and see If you choose to fight yourself You will fight your whole life (Go ahead Kill me)

Act Normal 02:50
I said man, I can't handle this I'm gonna go and wait outside I can feel these people staring at me I'm melting right in front of their eyes Can't feel my hands and everyone knows If I get too high sometimes Just wanna walk around Don't ask me to act normal It won't help me calm down I said I'd never do this again Thanks for being a real good friend If this is how I go, there's worse ways to die I'll be okay after tonight

Nitro 04:01
I found an old quotation Written on a bookmark I don't remember where it came from It said, "You can have community But only if it is rooted in myth or error If you want truth and rationality You will have to pay for it with widespread anomie and rootlessness" I don't want to be so direct But that's the current moving through my situations Pounding in my ears If I can just keep it together Life is long enough It just happens too fast Graded paper comes back circled red "These are not your words" What should I say instead You don't want to hear what I've planned It's a lot worse I can try to be eloquent But sometimes it's not worth it
