Innocent Merriment
02:55
|
|||
|
We hear too much color rains down all around
A self-proclaimed citizen says it's too loud
Bodies all over the ground
Some of them standing and some are laying down
Encouraging foolishness right there right now
While others they wonder why is this allowed?
Why is this allowed?
Please forgive this
Display of innocent merriment
Some say that they'd rather be tied up and bled
Than have that sound dancing around in their head
The babies they're putting to bed
Screaming so loudly their faces are red
It's maddening someone once said halfway dead
Repeating the same thing again and again and again and again
Please forgive this
Display of innocent merriment
Never a problem till now it's a problem
Please forgive this
Display of innocent merriment

Here with me
03:57
|
|||
|
Be here with me and we'll dissolve into nothing
Just close your eyes and be certain of one thing
This is where we were meant to be
Now look around and find someone that you don't know
Give a smile and a nod and know that you both know
This is where we were meant to go
We come to this corner once a month
To get us through next month
When you'll be with me
Be here with me
See the thing we bring all painted pink plastic
Dangling down from little strings
Desensitizing
Can you feel this happening?
Now close your eyes imagine somewhere less appealing
Open your eyes and be thankful for what you see
How did we get so lucky?
Where we were meant to be
This is where we were meant to be
We come to this corner once a month
To get us through next month
Make up for the days that aren't enough
Get us through next month

Unexpectedly Down-Sized
03:51
|
|||
|
Upstairs now to find it all gone
No words please from anyone
They said it was all just for fun anyway
Results of their indifference
Indifference to decay
One year spent ignoring the signs
Removing reminders of previous times
And previous lives
Every dream you can't describe
Evidence revealing that someone lived and died
We were alive
Your turn to be unexpectedly-downsized
Mumblings from elevated places
They come just as fast as they're typed
But this infestation
Countless abominations
Came right before a cherry on top the worst year in a life
In a life
Someone was rendered unable
And searching for with what we see
When the answer of ending it sinks in it's teeth
The finger's the laughter
And it points right back at me
Endlessly
Your turn to be unexpectedly-downsized

Out of their minds
03:56

I think that lady looks like a hippo
I think that guy looks like a turtle
I think that kid looks just like a bulldog
But one can't be certain
I think that man looks like a lizard
I think that woman looks like a llama
I think that kid looks kinda like a toucan
But one thing's for certain
I think they're going out of their minds
I think they're going out of their minds this time
Hysteria
Has got us all
And I don't know if I can tell the difference anymore
I think that old lady looks like a poodle
I think that guy looks like an aardvark
I think those kids look like spider monkeys
But one can't be certain
I think that man looks like a gopher
I think that woman looks like a turkey
I think that kid looks just like a fruit bat
But I can't be certain
I can't be certain
I think that I look like an ostrich
I think that I look like a possum
I think that I look like a salamander
And I can be certain
I think I'm going out of my mind
I think I'm going out of my mind this time
Hysteria
Has got us all
And I don't know if I can tell the difference anymore

Tabletops in donut shops
04:12
|
|||
|
There's a solace found on corners
Almost every other block
A place to get away from life
It's where all the injured flock
So fall away from all your troubles
When you see six letters shine
D O N U T S
inside everything is fine
Come inside
It'll be alright
There's
Too many tears upon the tabletops in donut shops
They're running down onto the floors
So have a coffee and a krueller
A plain cake or apple fritter
And think about where everything went wrong
Have a raised or powdered sugar
Maple bar or colored sprinkles
And think about where everything went wrong
Anytime you find it's hopeless you can know you can escape
Most times you'll find them open
And they're mostly open late
When you're sad and lost and lonely
Find six letters backed by light
D O N U T S
It's our beacon in the night
Come inside
It'll be alright
There's
Too many tears upon the tabletops in donut shops
They're running down onto the floors
On the floors
Have a coffee and a crumb cake
Jelly-filled or frosted chocolate
And think about where everything went wrong
Have a sugar twist or bear claw
An old-fashioned or a long john
And think about where everything went wrong

Twice As Nice
03:08
|
|||
|
You say mean to me without saying anything
And i just act accordingly
You say you're both of these and that you've changed some thing's
i say you seem the same to me
I wanna say you're always right
You're always right
But that's a lie
I wanna say you're always nice
You're twice as nice
But that's a lie
Back and forth constantly
Advancing and regressing
All while those lips are servicing
And what you're displaying to no one listening
Not even half of what you seem to believe
I wanna say you're always right
You're always right
But that's a lie
I wanna say you're always nice
You're twice as nice
But that's a lie
That's a lie
I wanna say you're always right
I'm always right
But that's a lie
I wanna say I'm always nice
I'm twice as nice
I'm not that nice

If we wait too long long to see
That all we had
Was time that we've wasted
It's a loss for you and me
The last remains of fragmented family
There's a way you color me that isn't me
And I just can't take this
Labelled as a liability
For defending me
From forgettable nobodies
I am trapped in the place where you put me
I'm on land and lost at sea
You don't see me constantly flailing
Needled for their nationality
A different story from actual happenings
I am trapped in the place where you put me
I am flawed like anyone
I am flawed like everyone
I am trapped in the place where you put me

Babyfied

I'm ok and I'm perfectly capable now
Oh little baby
Lost myself to fall down to get up to slurred speech
Oh little baby
I don't care if I go
I don't care if they know
The mystery that had latched onto me tremoring
Oh little baby
It's such a sight when you fight through the night every night
Oh little baby
These worried eyes tell me time after time that it's time
Oh little baby
I don't care if I go
I don't care if they know
It's me looking at me and I am babyfied
Babyfied

Lovely Light
04:26
|

|
That little lovely light
It shines on me
And all alone at night
It comforts me
That little lovely light inside of me
Whenever I am dying
Way deep down inside I'm smiling
That little lovely light is watching me
And when I've lost my way
It's finding me
That little lovely light is guiding me
Whenever I'm dying
Way deep down inside I'm smiling
This is a part of me
Nobody can hurt me like friends and family
My little lovely light is all I need
And when I close my eyes it's all I see
My little lovely light is all I need
Whenever I am dying
Way deep down inside I'm smiling
This is a part of me
Nobody can hurt me like friends and family
Nobody

Protecting Me
03:37
|
|||
|
You are always there protecting me
Whether it's my back
The funny way I breathe
Run into the street
Unbelievably naive
Out in too much sun
Stage illegal feats
Every little ache and pain
Phrases I repeat
You are always there protecting me
Out without a phone
Ignore advice you speak
Raging like an animal
Smashup all my things
And when I'm giving up
There's no point to see
Set myself up to fail with my self-destructive schemes
You are always there protecting me
When I reject your care
Flailing recklessly
Complaining all throughout the day
Up and down mood swings
You are always there protecting me

Scare Them To The Ground
03:23
|
|||
|
You have been traumatized
You've earned the right to traumatize
Simplified inside that half-unconscious mind
Beliefs are based on movies
Views of outside agencies
Acting out examples of the people we should be
What happened to humor?
What happened to fun?
What happened to you?
You used to shine just like the sun
You'd shine
They can't stop the things inside our minds
Things you wouldn't do might make you smile
Like
Sneak up on a stranger here in any part of town and go
Whoa
And spin them all around
Sneak up on a stranger here in any part of town and go
Whoa
And scare them to the ground
This ground is shaky
Covered up with shaky babies
Everyone is praying oh please nobody hate me
What I heard recently Oh what we really need
Endless lists of rules until each one sits quietly
What happened to humor?
What happened to fun?
What happened to you?
You used to shine just like the sun
You'd shine
They can't stop the things inside our minds
Things you wouldn't do might make you smile
Like
Sneak up on a stranger here in any part of town and go
Whoa
And spin them all around
Sneak up on a stranger here in any part of town and go
Whoa
And scare them to the ground
