absolution
03:09
|
|||
a look back
was undone
when it stopped
it restarted
and letting it
devour us
or just one of us
and time will tell
see you in hell
yeah time will tell
see you in hell
see you when
all the pretty pictures
get taken off the walls
that shade of pink
painted over
objectively morose
the faint smell of burning toast
comes piping through
the radio
piping through

the royal
03:13
|

we
gave up
just to bring about
a conversation
a compromise
because
to focus on the
breathing in
would be a pointless
exercise
to focus on what's
really wrong
could be the ending of our lives
we
gave in
to each other's needs
if it feels good are we happy?
are we happy?
because
it's said that having
two heads
is much better
than just having
one
but if that really is the
case
what the fuck have we done

chill alternative

i want
to retire
at the ripe
age of 26
cuz
cuz doin' nothin s'all i've ever
really been good at
and if starin' at a brick wall could mean
anything at all
probably excel at
that as well
well well
considering
my options
i
choose to live
yeah
but hit me up
if you hear of
hit me up
if you know of
(a chill alternative)
it's been 4 years
since i got my
BFA and now i'm
ready to die

chewing cud
05:30
|
|||
i've been chewing cud
an angel in the dust
i can see but can not be
retrieved
i've been chewing through
this shit spit cum and glue
in the name of my own
therapy
how fortuitous
to angle towards a lust
thats mesaured in
proximity
i've been seeing ghosts
the kind i fear the most
that trigger all my
anxieties
I just threw up
some words I shouldn't have
a bleak mind in total
dissaray

sailing
02:57
|
|||
take all of your fear and combine it
with your crushing sense of guilt
just hold it in until it
seems as though you have forced my hand
then lay it all upon me
in such a way i'll never understand
and let's go sailing
let's go sailing in the past
let's go sailing
let's go sailing in the past
let's go sailing
in a time before we knew it wouldn't last
and you'll never tell me
the truth about anything or what it meant
let's go on vacation
a place to pretend that we're still in love
you're taking lessons
and i'm drowning here on the land

it's your birthday
you're in Munich
i'm in London
it's been 3 whole days
since we parted
back at Schiphol
when we stayed in Koog aan de Zaan
momma Mickey
took us in and saved us
from ourselves
i still find your period blood under my nails
and long strands of your hair
in my luggage
i don't like to think
that i sabotage myself but i do and
i don't like to think
that i'm torturing myself
but i am
at the oldest
pub on the Thames
i hear Frankie Cosmos playing
and look at the skyline
at night
and it looks almost exactly like mine
i ask Liz to wake me
as i have no phone or alarm
from Gatwick to Bushwick
the sinking feeling sets in
dreaded reality again
how is Venice?
how is Berlin?
how is this new life you lead that i'm not in?

gmt
02:33
|

standing at the GMT
there's a lot of London here for us to see
but i got a little bit too much on my mind
wish that i could kiss you but i find
it's a bit to hard for me to justify
inflicting my sick sad desire for revenge on you
standing in a painted hall
it's a bit too much for me to take it in at all
wish i had another week to ride around this town
as long as you'd be here to show me around
paint a pretty picture of you in my mind
you're here and you're not her and that's just fine

swallowing smoke
04:25
|
|||
still swallowing smoke
to forget and yet to choke
up
the remaining bits of bile
simply focusing in
while vaguely fading out
a
vibrant epitaph for a decline
but oh to dine
among and on the living
(if i
use substance abuse
as a lens
what have i become?
nothing more than what i
glorified)
countless nights in a row
still swallowing smoke
to forget and yet to choke
simply focusing in
while vaguely fading out
a
vibrant epitaph for a decline

die sober
02:42
|
|||
wouldn't it be nice
to die sober
alert
and aware
of everything
that went wrong
and every ounce of pain
that you feel
i know
i've begged for death before
almost every time
but now
more than ever
i
want to live
no matter
how much speed i do
no matter
how many morals i've learned
no matter
how much speed adieu
no matter how many morals i get to know
no i
don't want to die sober
i
don't want to die sober
over you
