"but what does it mean!?" it's a joke
i tell that goes over my head.
no, i don't get it. but i suppose that you do.
oh, of course you do! i wouldn't expect any less.
you know, when it's all facts and information,
risk versus reward, and calculation,
and a moment's indecisiveness
is priceless stacked against a meaningful defense,
not to excuse the things that i do,
nor least of all to make an example of you.
but if you crucify me harder,
i might believe that i'm a martyr.
and then what if you one day you believe that too?
oh, you do! oh, you do! i know you do!
because the line that divides permissiveness and viciousness is a kernal of uncomfortable truth.
so, i guess we're all shit! is that the secret?
you can preach it from the pulpit but few people believe that
it's an indictment of themselves as well.
but, hey, at least you'll see your friends in hell!
...and enemies too, looking at you,
staring at you. a mirror or a fearless leader?
i haven't a clue. i just work here, dude.
got a smoke break in five, get my chakras in tune,
and then i'll laugh at low hanging fruit on youtube.
but who put me in charge? if you don't like it, simply turn it off!
i kind of remember some people who used to say that aren't people who say that now...
anyhow, i guess that the world is otherwise fine.
how can you possibly relate? i'm fucking losing my mind!
then they tell me that it's normal and compliment my vocabulary.
"by the way, are these real people or would you describe them as imaginary?"
well, i suspect that it's all relative. we're kind of all imaginary...
"oh, okay, yeah, you know, we've got a place that you might want to visit for a couple days..."

Strange, Strange Times
01:15

there are snakes in the garden of eden
and they're cutting down all the trees
they've found that ignorance is far more profitable...
strange, strange times indeed!
there are rats at the wheel of the sinking ship
the rats see no reason to flee
because the rats are just the tip of the iceberg...
strange, strange times indeed!
there are ants building nests for their ruler
bees building hives for their queen
and they're ready to die for their masters...
strange, strange times indeed!
And the snakes have turned the garden to a desert
And the rats are dumping garbage in the sea
And the ants and the bees like that just fine...
strange, strange times indeed!
strange, strange times indeed!
strange, strange times indeed!

have enough for a bowl and a half but later
the dealers gonna visit cause he owes me a favor.
gave him a ride to the DMV and
even that asshole knows no one rides free, and
he won't be attending but i've made a few calls.
and i don't even care if they show up at all
since i paid for the beer, so i'm drinking it all
til i'm pissing my pants, until i'm tripping balls.
there's a party at my house and you're invited
now i'm calling my neighbor. i'm totally wasted.
have a thirst for adventure. i can practically taste it.
but he's feeding his kids and won't able to make it.
now i'm taking a shit and i'm totally naked.
then i listen to music and fuck up some friendships.
i'm a ride or die guy, so basically, fuck them.
that's just my sense of humor, bro, please take a joke.
so come over to my house. i'm buying the coke.
there's a party at my house and you're invited

(I Am) So Great
01:13

my writing's the best
because i always put
the emphasized parts
on the words that are good.
i have all the best thoughts
and my ideas are perfect.
it's deep introspection
and completely surface.
oh, i am so great!
i am so funny!
i am so coy!
i am so witty!
i am the best!
everyone loves me!
oh, i am so great!
i am so funny!
the founders owned slaves,
narcissis was ugly,
jesus made waves,
and tesla was lucky.
i'm strong and i'm brave
and genius has struck me
in so many ways.
they all want to fuck me.
oh, i am so great!
i am so funny!
i am so coy!
i am so witty!
i am the best!
everyone loves me!
oh, i am so great!
i am so funny!

That's So Crazy!
02:02

are we really, truly in it together
or just out for each other?
is the agony of all of our labor
a desire to suffer?
a kiss, sweet mother.
a kiss, sweet mother.
a blade or a lathe
or just mercy, sweet mother!
i'm tired.
i'm tired, i'm tired,
have mercy, cold iron,
one kiss, sweet mother.
get your palms red. face the bloodshed daily
where the boys tread. that's so crazy!
nothing... instead, what do you say we
make the rules bend? fuck you, pay me.
i stopped for directions to the intersection
where the devil shakes your hand.
the guy just laughed and pat my back,
said "depends on who you ask."
a kiss, sweet judas.
a kiss, sweet judas.
a blade or a lathe
or just flattery, judas!
i'm tired.
i'm tired, i'm tired,
have faith, cold iron,
one kiss, sweet judas.
get your palms red. face the bloodshed daily
where the boys tread. that's so crazy!
nothing... instead, what do you say we
make the rules bend? fuck you, pay me.

Megahex
02:16

change is the one constant and it's changed me ever since.
"was it the chicken or the egg?" and other riddles of the sphynx
that i can't answer to your satisfaction. i'm dumber than you think.
the world is one-part megahex and two parts cosmic hyper-jynx.
and this curse of being far too self-aware
of the anxious problems that i overshare
to anyone who listens even if they do not care
doesn't help the issue much.
i wasn't doing good yet i was out there planting seeds.
didn't care to tend the garden or see the forest through the weeds.
want to be a better person but i'm mentally fatigued.
now that i'm a little older i'm not sure what i still believe.
but this wishy-washy selfish indecision
still impacts the world in which we live in.
hoover my soul up to space and i'll exist inside a vacuum.
i'm already suffocating.
i'm already
i'm already
i'm already
i'm already
i'm already
i'm already dying
inside.

So Long, Horsies!

bloodied but unbowed.
broke and nowhere bound.
can we ditch this dive bar? cause this scene is not my crowd.
i prefer my house.
sleep until it hurts to lay in bed.
pray that i receive my daily bread.
want to say it's my fault? well then, baby, go ahead.
i'm sure i've said some things that i can't possibly defend.
brought it on myself.
names and place withheld.
ghosts and distant memories, the magic is dispelled.
silly little whelp.
drinking in the night while i am drowning like a witch.
i've only got one mile left, i cannot give an inch.
i'm fresh out of empathy. my heart is an abyss.
never spared a thought and haven't thought about it since.
you're in the same boat,
ready to unload
some woe-is-me hyperbole. let's end it on that note.
let's do, but really don't.
