The Screw 03:52
If we kill ourselves for Homeland gas, would it be worth it? They bribe the top To hush it up To blind their eyes So they walk away unscathed Does that sound worth it? They put on an act Because they're exempt from the act That keeps us clean They have the drills We're the screw Your water is on fire My rage is on fire So thanks for the asthma The tumors, the pain Oh it's safe, or so they say Then why is Pennsylvania dying If it's so safe, then in court why do they pay? They bribe the top To hush it up To blind their eyes So they walk away unscathed So drill, and drill, and die, and drill, and die, and die

Hollow 02:52
Hollow, stuck in one place Paying for decay at minimum wage Creative minds wasted At gas stations, restaurants, and clothing stores Please, someday someone call me a genius A visionary Keep those sights set on the West Coast Someday, maybe today Hey, quit your job and get down Let's all drop out and commit Want tears in your eyes Want love on location Before I die, create something beautiful Want tears in your eyes Want love on location Sun-soaked landscapes in 35mm Portray love in a quarry Or death in a field Ease someone's mortal fears Everyone thinks they have a masterpiece in them Or I'm an egomaniac I feel special I feel special, ego drives Love

Digital Arms 03:29
Live life on a device Consciousness on a drive All seeing, all knowing, all living Immortality in technology Met a girl on the cloud, she's all that I need Get to know you, get to love you, But how to touch you with these... How to touch you with digital arms? Spend my credits on a body Place my mind inside an artificial man Place my feet on the earth again The android wakes, the android walks The android lives The mind, it offers time But flesh, it offers soul But never forever The mind is bound to pine The body fulfills But this will rot away In metal deathbeds, in our metal selves We prepare to stare from afar We prepare to stay apart It's fun when we're on It's done when we're gone

Consume 03:03
My friend, he fought for his life And now he's tired My lover fell for a joke And now we're through My brother had his first fuck And now he's smitten My fucking peace of mind Now it's left behind So what do we do? Buy a new shirt, say "this life thing is working out"
5.
Three Weeks 05:14
Hey, can we not touch and fuck today? Because I feel filthy Come on and say, "You're tired, I'm insane" We all know art is hard The death of art and soul are intertwined The death of art and soul is me You slept with me, you missed my dreams My dreams of physical death I know my own death It's one of many They tracked the angles and pointed it to us I waited three weeks I thought the old man told it directly to me I didn't know the calendar could hang itself Believe Oh, it's dark, I can't see the devil come Fate can't change Please, take the art and leave the soul I'm just a man resigned to The hate I feel for everything I do I feel my heart break for us when I...

Paralyzed, closed eyes Denied, in time I find Isolate, contained I've got to escape this coast I've got a life that I'm lusting after Unravel, black hole I've got to escape this coast I've got a life that I'm lusting after

Hey hey, it's hand over fist Executive privilege topples the rest Fighting for scraps at the table we set As the fruits of your labor run down my chin Working for free for paper degrees That we'll never see, forced inequality Unionized lies, the face of deceit I paid my dues, now where's my seat? I feel like I've paid for all this before You can't protect if you don't know it's yours Crowdfunding bailouts across backs Starving artists cutting in line My wallet's got deja vu Who's buying, me or you? You started it, we funded it The taste of punk to cum
9.
We live our lives without reason We're bored and tired, but I'll try it out We plugged a hole in a sinking ship But I'm trying Out back, still smoke, forms Our bodies tangled in regret "Don't thank me," you say in contempt Our lust came and went Firebrand sex, fuck Every public follicle A gate pushing away For the love of... Oh god, I can't Bad love from a lover spurned Bad love from the hangers-on in turn Bad love from a libertine and turncoat Bad love from a lover spurned

Dave Franco 01:30
(Lie) Why get an education (Cheat) When you can be a star? (Steal) Sorry I don't have the rent (Bask) I'll pay you back when I'm filthy fucking rich Breathe for fame Connect with wealth to hide the fury That it's a false reality

Boy, we need food Take the Winchester and the mutt But the plains, they don't forgive So be careful and good luck Kid, you've been gone for so long Yeah, well I don't quite feel the same Well, what happened on those sun-soaked days? I don't really think I should say Hey, where's the mutt? He ain't coming back Johnny's not okay Tell the truth, what happened? Okay, I shot him So he got sick, why not tell me? No dad, I shot him, no reason Johnny's not okay What have me done? Johnny's not okay Who have we raised? He can join the army Join the war out West, yeah Kid, you've killed a hundred men To protect and defend this land that we call home Kid, I've never seen another one like you You'll be general one day Then all this will be yours
