Blinded by an earthquake when some debris and schrapnel scorched my eyes. Made it home alive but scared (whoa oh). Fire burned my village down.
All my clothes, my favorite rugs, now to ash.
Terrible devastation yeah
My best friend is missing. I think i saw his t-shirt torn by the church on 54th street and central ave. I hope my mom and dad are safe but i'm not - I'm not very optimistic.
It's terrible devastation yeah - oh yeah

Young n Carefree

I’ve never been bad to women
I’ve always been good at life
But with a wink of an eye and a turn of a vice
I’d settle down with a wife
Extremes. Living out pipe dreams
Carefree. Sharing fond memories.
I hope I don’t die alone.
Or even live that way.
I made some mistakes along the way.
I’m old but still learning.
Still growing up.
Still stepping before I look.
At least I still have my eyesight.
But my attention's impaired.
My target's locked and loaded with care
It seems my conversations are weak.
My dreams are running unintentionally out of steam
I’m livin out pipe dreams.
Carefree. Sharing fond memories.

Well, I heard rome wasn’t built in a day
So how come everyone is rushing to get ahead
And If I seem to be reserved it’s just my way
Your question’s like your interrogating me
yeah, I try
then again I don’t try
I get an F for Effort
I'll get a D next time
I’ve heard the lemon metaphor four million times
Well I don’t stand for lemonade, don’t ask me why
Would a beverage stand be job that’d be desired?
And where would I get the wood (would) and should I try?
Yeah, I try
then again I don’t try
I get an F for Effort
I’d take a 65
I heard currency doesn’t grow like leaves on trees
How come my money comes and goes so seasonally
I wish farmers planted plants instead of thieves
My friend pays a ton of green for greener groceries
Yeah, she tried
Then again she don’t try
She gets an F for Effort
Is that such a crime?

Good Advice

30 dollar bible
I don't know why
Mine's just as thick
Million dollar smile
I don't know why
Mine's just as rich
But if you see it in yourself
Then you should know it
Yeah I don't know it but it sounds like good advice
Thousand dollar style
I don't know why
I don't wanna fit
Million dollar idol
I don't know why
I don't worship it
But if you see it in yourself
Then you should know it
Yeah I don't know it but it sounds like good advice

My Fault
02:16
|

Time is hard enough to wait for
At least i can be with you
Age is enough to be afraid of
i'd like to grow old with you
And if I die tonight, please keep my love in a vault.
And if you die tonight, please let it not be my fault
My fault, my fault, please keep my lovin in a vault.
My fault, my fault, that you're not here.
Earth is large enough to get lost on
I wanna find a way to be with you
Space is far enough as it is.
Please don't ship(blast) off too soon
And if I leave tonight, it'don't mean our lovin will halt
And if you leave tonight, please it let it not be my fault.
My fault, don't let our lovin tumblesault
My fault, default and come right back to me.
My fault, my fault, my affection is assault
My fault, pole fault and land right next to me.
My fault my fault
Please keep my lovin in a vault
My fault my fault that your not here with me

Question this and question that
Too many questions without answers and no one questions that
Question this and question that
It seems like everybody's sentenced if they ever answer back
Question this and question that
It seems you never get a second and your second guessing that
Question this and question that
it seems like everybody's dancing round the question-answer that
Question this and questions that
It seems like every single answer and every single minute causes every single cancer and every indecision and we're just set up to live it and we're just too weak to lift it how bout that
question this and question that repeat
i turn the water off because you genuinely get mad

Excavate Demo
01:39

Excavating dirt inside my brain
instead of out climbing mountains
in bed i lay in silent blame
counting every sheep I can name
false solace mounting everyday
all this makes me evacuate
Excavating brains outside my house
inside of bars I get let down
In silence thinking im a clown
In time I'll make my way around
Every new name i mispronounce
the sounds i hear just drown you out

GRIM
I wanna eliminate the problems of man
But I can't if don't be a good dude
I wanna find myself and be a new man
But I can't if I don't leave my bedroom
I wanna solve these kinds of problems like my dad
But I can't if I keep asking of him
I wanna be the one that glees the one that's sad
But I can't if I keep acting so Grimm
I wanna tolerate the moral compass
Invest and generate the corporate profits
And I can And I plan to interrupt the fiscal process
And have fun
I wanna string myself up like a witch
And tell the town to burn my body like its wood
I wanna pick myself up like a baby
And pass that shit around like It's all good
I wanna sing myself asleep in a canoe
But I can't if keep playing out of tune
I wanna worship a god that's untrue
And I can if I keep listening to you
I want eliminate coercive constructs
Co-facilitate all future prospects
And I can and I plan to renovate the final project
And be nice

Long ago in a future that no one knows
Merry Xmas, John Lennon pick up the telephone
In a night of desire you retired all your woe.
Merry Xmas, John Lennon pick up the telephone.
Right after the past where everybody sings
I'm sorry Paul McCartney that Linda got her wings
she loved you yeah yeah yeah
I'm sorry Paul McCartney that Linda got her wings
revolution number 9
got solutions on my mind
and i can't understand why belushi had to die
evolution wonder why
benefit of mr kite
don't you wanna kick it with a stand up guy?
imagine i was fly, 64 and feelin life
and i think about the covers and i think it makes me high
yellow submarine inside
sgt peppers, brocoli rabe
and i know even care if i live or if i die
i just wanna live with my liver full of rye
sitting with my pride
wearing suit and tie
casket open
me inside
am i hopin that i die
yeah, kinda
