It's the water heater that won't quite work It's the heart they won't quite seize And yet, they'll never change Staunch in their beliefs
2.
Middleman 01:27
It's pathetic how far you have fallen It's pathetic how far you have fallen I think about the other ways of seeing I think about the other ways of being I realize one thing- they're far too strong for me As strong as I can be, is where I am right now Look how far you've fallen from grace You should've kept a solid pace They're far too strong for me
3.
Do you like the early earth? 'Cause it's covered in pink slime It's crawling all over the place It's on its hands and knees The early earth... is just like you and me
4.
Adrift 01:40
Adrift in the sound, I'm wondering why it has to end Why I have to go back home and continue to play pretend Stand in line for the X-ray photos 'Cause they'll last far longer Than anybody knows Trap your worst memories in amber for all to observe And I ask myself, what purpose does that serve? For the sake of the experience I always seem to miss I'll let you stay in ignorance I'll let you stay in bliss
5.
I feel as though it's all unplanned Losing exceptional control Of the independent hand Things you were never really supposed to see Deals that just weren't supposed to land A project that wasn't supposed to happen Each delay a nail in the coffin
6.
I can feel you, your empathy isn't affecting me A load-bearing weight comes down on your spine, and from the other side, It looks as though you've been dead for a thousand years Adventurous, to the point where it gets you the answer And after that you give no fucks
7.
What can I interest you in? Something to keep you online? Something to hold you down? Something to keep you around? What can I interest you in? Something coarse or fine? Something to cure your rash? Something to kill your thoughts? What can I interest you in? (What can I interest you in?) Something gory? Something tame? A luscious taste Of something like fame? What can I interest you in? (What can I interest you in?) It only takes a second For a billion results
8.
Winter doesn't exist out here I turned up the temperature ten degrees The sun is always over me There's no need to worry right now I'm tracking your voting patterns And it seems like you're ready to head out to Saturn Any day of the week We're in the far reaches of deep space Where winter doesn't exist anymore
9.
A knock at the locked door A voice from the doorway Angrier and more Complaining about the day "You have to get up." "You need to wake up." "You've got to show up." "Your fault if you're not up." "You have to get up." "You need to wake up." "You've got to show up." "Your fault is that you're not up." "Nothing's wrong with you, or by extension me, so there is no excuse, so get up." "You have to get up." "You need to wake up." Get up. Get up. Wake up!
10.
We Survive 01:29
Trapped five hundred miles down in the Arctic My eyes are so ice-choked That I don't know what to see And he's gone mad with time He's burning the food supply If he eats it all, we'll die So I force myself to act (To act) Sealed inside the walls of our tiniest room With blood Still, we survive
11.
Dry 94 01:38
Get ready to constrict your vessels It's a dry 94 Incarcerate your conscience Don't forget to check the lock Let your inner child own some stock "I like my burger blackened into the shape of a hockey puck, slathered with ketchup, and wrapped in pine needles." You have to grow taller than the others You have to speak louder than the others It's a dry 94
12.
Are you still with us? Are you sitting? I hope you're sitting
13.
After several hours of excruciation You're forced into defeat, and turn on a radio station From here to Wisconsin, though you're not one to judge, the airwaves seem to be clogged up with a pop-country sludge Through the drive, you hear it A slightly grating sound Reverberating endlessly through turnaround after turnaround Sun shines through your window You could almost enjoy the view If it weren't for the lyricism That contributes nothing new From here to Wisconsin It's strip malls out the door You can't have one spare moment Where you don't see a liquor store Thousands of miles of highway Paving across the world Up north, they're on fire (on fire) And I can't breathe the air (breathe the air) But, this is fine (it's fine) Yeah, it's totally fine (totally fine)
14.
My first night alone in quite some time I can't be bothered to filter out the grime Thousands of appendages reaching out As I travel further down the route Self-destruction, it seems to me, is the clearest option that I can see Decongestant and tonic downed Mind destroyed and feelings drowned
15.
Magma Stars 01:55
Pocket dimensions Coals ground up Thrown in turn To assist the burn Magma stars from the furnace The dark heart of the house Thousands carbon-copied Kingdom of invasive species Cutting up the coals And leaving the rest of us alone
16.
Oatmeal 00:15
Oh yeah! Oh yeah! (Be careful.)
17.
Towards the yellow light I feel my ego growing Ravenous and hungering Give me more airtime I can feel the numbers tripling I gain more devotees Who'd give me their bone marrow If they got the chance Now let me release This indictment of you This board is bought and paid for And my vengeance is in stores
18.
Coffin Men 01:33
Coffin men Sit and work Through a plague of dead An afflicting curse That just won't leave Lining in the lungs Coffin men Sit and work They wish for a nebulizer They wish for an atomizer
19.
Brutal Wish 02:39
I have survived through some of the finest duels Why do you insist on playing by their rules? Bound by certain strictures you don't care to remember In our casting call, you were the finest pretender Until you're hollowed out by the pressures of aging You can't take the performance, so succumb to the staging Remove your theatrical beard, it's the only thing remaining That has me hearken back to the days of your training Is it real? Are we certain? What is the brutal wish that lies behind the curtain?
20.
Only Echo 02:13
Trapped inside a large room It's a very spacious room It's larger than your eyes can read So you call out, you beg, you plead But the only echo is something else Something approaching With a slow Pulse
21.
Cold Finish 01:29
So based on what my grandparents told me Back in the day I felt more than lonely But I kept it in The grudge and the fears I held back my tears And let the grudge fade And crumble away But I still feel cold
