How do you call this whole thing off?
Is there a switch somewhere on my body?
How do we call this whole thing off?
Can we do it with something other than a bullet?
I don’t know why I do anything anymore
I just do it and then think about it later and feel like
Maybe I shouldn’t have done anything at all
How do you shut this whole thing off?
Is there a number I could call?
I don’t know why I do anything anymore
And I admit I haven’t read all the terms and
Conditions and I’m in desperate need of some
Customer support
Should have laughed, should have loved
Now we stand at the edge of reason
Should have laughed, should have loved
Now we stand at the edge of reason
Should have laughed, should have loved
Now we stand at the edge of reason
Should have laughed, should have loved
Now we stand at the edge of reason
This call is being recorded.

It’s a sad State of Affairs
Staying in ‘cause the news is gonna kill us
It isn’t safe out there, no not anymore
It’s wild and savage and the
Money making machine
Is gonna get us
It’s a sad State of Affairs
And I’m tired of this face-time
And making love with your pretty picture
It isn’t safe out there, no not anymore
It’s wild and savage and the
Morality police is gonna get us
And a man’s gotta gun
‘cause he gotta hold on to
Something X8
It’s a sad State of Affairs
Let me be kind to you
But let me keep my
Social distance
It isn’t real out there, no not anymore
It’s wild and savage and the
Reality star is gonna get us
And a man’s gotta gun
‘cause he gotta hold on to
Something X6

It's Called Anxiety

For a while now
It’s been the same
And I can’t say if it’s good
And I’m not sure if it’s bad
For a while now
My legs don’t shake
And I might be feeling better
Or there’s simply
Nowhere to go to
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to turn
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to turn
For a while now
My throat doesn’t shut
And I don’t have the urge to vomit
Every time I eat my lunch
It’s called a psycho-somatic illness
You should look it up
A psycho-somatic illness
Go look it up
For a while now
My lungs are clear
And I don’t have the urge to cough
Every time somebody mentions money
It’s called anxiety
You should look it up
It’s called anxiety, anxiety, anxiety
Go look it up
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to turn..

MEMORIES
Looking at my garden, I see building blocks
And it used to be so much easier to leave your
Footprints in the grass
I’ve tried leaving my footprints in concrete
But concrete only hurts my feet
Like when you get stung by a bee
Later I sat around the house
Watching the thunder coming in
But the people continued to cheer and call for another drink
Then they laughed themselves to sleep
Do you ever laugh yourself to sleep?
I remember we had an orchard and a garden and a dog and a swing
And I had a bicycle and a pedal truck and a tree that I loved
My own little forest at the back of the house
Now I’ve got parking lots and families with their own stuff to
Make memories of their own life
Let’s think about that for a second
Cry a little misery
Dream a little mystery
Make a little memory
Cry a little misery
Dream a little mystery
Make a little memory
I remember when it used to snow
We’d make secret corridors and hiding places underground
Now it seems we can only hide in the aisles of the supermarket
Later as I sat around the house watching the thunder coming in
It looked like God himself so I thought I’d say a prayer
But how do you pray to someone who’s not there?
It’s like talking to yourself
And I already do that way too often
So I made coffee in the morning and made myself a breakfast
I did the dirty dishes and I even took the trash out
I’ve done everything you always said
I always do everything you always say
But the flowers die anyway
It seems the flowers always die anyway
Cry a little misery
Dream a little mystery
Make a little memory
Cry a little misery
Dream a little mystery
Make a little memory
Cry a little misery
Dream a little mystery
Make a little memory
Cry a little misery
Dream a little mystery
Make a little memory
Why don’t you go and make yourself a memory?

COMMUNITY
Slow, take it slow
We’ve got fifty years or more
Of bankruptcy and cash loans
Sound the alarm
But every time you wake up
Hit the snooze so you don’t
Diffuse the bomb
Go home, get paid, you gotta work it out
(Not sick, not late, gotta work it out)
Get bust, black out, you gotta work it out
(Not big, not great, gotta work it out)
So if you’re happy and you know it
Then your face will surely show it
If you’re happy and you know it
Clap your hands
We are a community
We are a community
We are a community
A constant mutiny
A unity of assholes
Cry, baby, cry
You’ve got fifty years or more
With frogs in a pot until it gets to hot to
Move
Out of the Jacuzzi
Go home, get paid, you gotta work it out
(Not sick, not late, gotta work it out)
So if you’re happy and you know it
Then your face will surely show it
Clap your hands
We are a community
We are a community
We are a community
A constant mutiny
A unity of assholes
We are a community
We are a community
We are a community
A constant mutiny
A unity of assholes

LO-FI GIRL FELT CUTE
Tap, tap, tapping on window sill
Looking at faces and places and fallacies
Of filters on apps and perhaps a collapse of
My levels of dopamine, send a DM
To excite my adrenaline
Rollin' and smokin' alternative medicine
Tap, tap, tapping on a window sill
Taking a selfie self-centeredly interesting
Lying in bed, feeling bad, repositioning
Subscribers from Only Fans trying to make it real
How about you? What about you? How about you?
Rollin' and smokin' alternative medicine
Retrograde Mercury, our anniversary,
Honey, I love you but it was not meant to be
What about you? How about you? What about you?
Aries and Taurus and Leo and Gemini
Lo-fi girl felt cute
But a rose is not a rose is not a rose X6

GENDER REVEAL PARTY
Born in a temple
I wanted to be a princess
You can’t be a princess
In a temple full of boys
Hasn’t anybody told you that?
Born in a temple
I wanted to be a princess
You can’t be a princess
In a temple full of boys
Hasn’t anybody told you that?
A princess small and timid
Looks into a mirror
To see a knight in shining armor
With a flower in his hair
A princess small and timid
Looks into a mirror
To see a fearsome fighter
With a necklace down the neck
A princess small and timid
Looks into a mirror
To see a mighty king
In a lavish royal dress
But a foolish truth still lingers
Boys just don’t wear dresses
Hasn’t anybody told you that?
A boy born in a temple
Looks into a mirror
To see the Beauty & the Beast
And the Truth & the Made-up Truth
A princess is made not born a princess
Made not born a princess...
Hasn’t anybody told you that?...

HUMAN SPIRIT
Everything is open
Always open
You travel but you can’t see the world
Because you are standing on it
And that’s the Humans Spirit
The view is always better
Before you get there
But you go up that mountain anyway
Just to realize there’s no way down
And that’s the Human Spirit
The Human Spirit
The Human Spirit
The Human Spirit
Never understood a thing
You have your freedom,
Don’t you feel you’re free?
You are superior
Until you hunt it down to extinction
And that’s the Human Spirit
Everything’s a wonder, isn’t it a wonder
But you start to wonder what to do with it
So now we’re buying tickets
To be amazed
That’s the Human Spirit

APOCALIPSTICK
A politician need his air condition
To talk about where to cut funds next
While Greece is on fire and Hephaestus is laughing
Saying ‘didn’t I tell you what to expect?’
And Greta’s out of school again
And that’s not really news again
Only this time it’s because somebody sneezed
And some Blacks were browsing real-estate
Got handcuffed by the Racist State
‘cause that’s just the Real Damn State
Of things
See Archimedes drowning as the see is every rising
Shouting ‘I have found it and you would too if you
just took a bath’
And the news is gonna kill us as we keep our social distance
Praying in an IKEA parking lot
And sometimes I imagine big buildings blowing up
And all the people shooting
John Lennon in the face
It’ like 9/11
But with fireworks and confetti
Now put on some apocalipstick
Do you get it?
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And leave my carbon footprints far behind me
Where troubles melt like permafrost
New Shepard rising high above
That’s where you’ll find me
