Rules

Passing by is passing thru
You are fascinating too
Keep you locked away
Now you’re discontinued
Never will follow thru
Cuz you’ve never been cool
The king of fucking rules
And you’ve never been cool
For free
Rules for me, never for thee
Power down and hammer thru
Passing out is faux pas too
Keep you locked away
Stuck inside my sinew
Never will follow thru
Cuz you’ve never been cool
The king of fucking rules
And you’ve never been cool
For free
Rules for me, never for thee
Never had the power
Never count the hours
Never had the power
Never count the hours
Never had the power
Never count the hours
Never had the power
You can count the hours

Sweet Tooth

I guess I do adore
Never been to heaven before
Cloudy days with no chores
Stocked up and looking for more
Heaven knows you need a breakthrough
Little knots that hurt a lot and lie to you
Hey! Can I call you sweet tooth?
Back for more thru another door that weighs on you
Go ahead and wage your war
Everyones just begging for more
No need to clean your pores
Locked down, looking to score
Heaven knows you need a breakthrough
Little knots that hurt a lot and lie for you
Hey! Can I call you sweet tooth?
Back for more thru another door that weighs on you
Undefinable plot
Unreliable knot
Undeniable flop
Unreliable knot

Play it safe. That’s all you do
Well I don’t give a fuck about you
No fucks
Zero fucks
Sitting calm. That’s what you do
Well you don’t give a fuck about the truth
No fucks
Zero fucks
No! Fucks
Zero fucks

Up
02:37
|

|
It’s just the way you play the game
Things will never be the same
I know I’ve been warned
But I’m taking time to make mine yours
Trying hard to make a deal
Some wounds they never heal for real
You’ve been up, and I’ve been down
Say it straight, don’t lead me around
Lighten up, don’t turn this around
You’ve been up, and I’ve been down
Been way up in the sky…
Been outta my mind…

Clean
02:29
|

Coming clean to free my dreams
Nothing is what it seems
Buried way deep beneath
Nothing is as it seems
Take your time, Anglicize
I’ve been cocainize
Take your time, agonize
I am polarized
Keeping clean is not free
Nothing is as it seems
Buried deep underneath
Nothing is what it seems
The breath of death knocking at my door
Freshen up and kiss me more
The hand of death knocking at my door
Well bottoms up just give me more
The touch of death kicking down my door
Tighten up and kiss the floor
The breath of death hidden at your door
Lighten up and give me more

Goat
03:01
|

|
She led me through the darkest parts of her heart
She broke into a hundred parts
I begged her to take my place the men will waste
And with these stakes
Never give what you can take
I held you up in my hand
You held me down to help me understand
I’m still the same until the end
I cannot change, I cannot kill a tread
I led her to my hollow heart, that’s a start
She broke into a thousand parts
I begged her to fill this space, I will not waste
It’s way too late, never give what you can take
Shove it down way below
Some say I am a ghost
Shove it down, down your throat
Some say I am the goat
Shove it down way below
Some say I am a ghost
Shove it down, down your throat
Some say I am the goat
Shove it down way below
Some say I am a ghost
Shove it down, down your throat
Some say I am the goat

Fix
02:52
|
|||
|
I did that shit, and I really meant it
I failed to fix, I failed to fix
I shot the shit, but I didn’t mean it
I tried to fix the faintest rift
Lying on a windowpane
Everything is so strange
Living on your windowsill
Everything is for real
Never gonna feel that free again
Never even felt the pin go in
Never really needed that much to do
I got high, because of you
I trust the dust
It fucked me up
It did not fix, the faintest rift
This taste is blood
Where’s it coming from?
I failed to fix, I failed to fix
Dying on your windowsill
Everything is wonderful
Living through a windowpane
Everything seems the same
Never gonna feel that free again
Never even felt the pin go in
Never really needed that much to do
I got high, because of you
Lay me down quick, I failed to fix
Lay me down quick, I failed to fix
Lay me down quick, I failed to fix
Lay me down quick, I failed to fix…

Another year spent in fear
Still I search and I’m all alone
A decade down, underground
A little lost but I’m far from home
Another year spent in fear
Still I search and I’m all alone
A decade down, underground
A little lost and I’m far from home
I’m far from home
I’m far from home…

Head
02:01

Everyone you knew
Never needed you
Always black and blue
I never needed you
There you are you’re in my head
You all left me for dead
Gotta get you outta my head
You all left me for dead
Simple sad and true
I never needed you
There’s other avenues
Simple sad and true
There you are you’re in my head
You all left me for dead
Gotta get you outta my head
You all left me for dead
There you are you’re in my head
You all left me for dead
Gotta get you outta my head
You all left me for dead
I carried the weight
I did not hesitate
I carried the weight
Could not reciprocate

Shame
01:44
|

|
Midwest blood in my brain
Forever keeping me in shame
Midwest blood in my brain
Forever keeping me in shame
Every word you say, every word you know
Every single day, it’s all a show
Everything you say, everything you do
Everywhere you go, it all falls thru
Midwest blood is insane
Forever keeping me this way
Every word you say, every word you know
Every single day, it’s all a show
Everything you say, everything you do
Everywhere you go, it all falls thru

Meds
02:02
|

|
I’ve lost control of my life
Could’ve used some real advice
Used to play it safe and kind
What a waste of time
So bake you heart
Cast in bark
And try from the start
There’s no line like mine
Can you feel the moon align?
There’s no need to deny
This waste of rhyme
So bake you heart
Cast in bark
And try from the start
To fill your head
Full of meds
Until you’re nearly dead

Coming From
03:39
|

|
So I stole a look your way
You’re outta reach for another day
And I know
For a minute it’s just a test
I’m gonna break away and disregard the rest
Gotta go
And I’ll show you where I’m coming from
And I’ll tell you how it’s all just begun
And I ain’t push no more
Until I’m off the floor
Well alright!
You’ve been down for a minute or two
And I hate to see you feeling bruised
But you do
This man’s gonna do you right
I’m gonna take my time and i’ll act real kind
For you
And I’ll show you where I’m coming from
And I’ll tell you how it’s all just begun
Cuz it has
And I ain’t push no more
Until I’m off the floor
Well alright!
I might get up tonight…
