Better Than Nothing

only here you get to be your own monument
only here something always blocks your way
only here everyone gets to be prom queen
so only here it doesn't mean anything
It is so beautiful when trash is on fire
the smoke is blue and green and all shades of grey
Its fucking beautiful when trash is on fire
the smoke is blue and green
full spectrum of grey
and when you see it its really something
I'm told that something's better than nothing
Its seems that everything's better than nothing
so give me anything better than nothing
you don't want to be a slave
but you really ought to save
so you're turning down the heat
Its just a luxury defeat
fire at the purity ball
the fire men want to stall
the news lady's gonna be late
she's so beautiful
she's so great
because no one is around
just a mile out of town
no one hears the horrid sound
little virgins burning down
as they cry
anything is better than nothing

Greater Than Zero
04:33
|
|||
|
you couldn't save me from my knife
and so you just gave up my ghost
I was a scab upon your mind
you cleaned your fingernails and picked me off
but if I go ahead and die
I really don't want you to cry
It always was in due season
It probably happens for a reason
nobody wants to be the trigger
and at the same time be the gun
I am and anti-hero
and I am no fucking fun
I'm always searching to destroy
acting like a forgotten son
I am greater than zero
but I am lesser than one

new highs
new lows
new highs
new lows
life is such a mystery when you undo your history
nothings what you left for me but it remains the same you see
new highs
new lows
new highs
new lows
the sun rises and sets
my heart and mind reset

H1ghway Graves

driving through the toll
something stole his soul
he gave it all back
static heart attack
nothing like a crown
tarnished crimson brown
didn't have a choice
had a violet voice
In the electric sea
he will always be
data handed down
body underground
even in times frost
documents not lost
you can find him there
Its a cheap bus fare
highway graves and car shaped tombs
be seen
be seen

Childhood Schizophrenia
03:09
|
|||
|
all the rats are numbered here
It is your world that taught me fear
I would rather live in here
In here there is much less to fear
the Island has a current too
Its pulling me not pulling you
never know just what to do
just want to see the living through
all my friends are here
all my friends are here

I want to be the only reason your pale white skin turns red
my friend said I am selfish but that's just one of my names
I heard your fiancés a liar said also by my friend
I'm also told that he's a nice guy but I don't give a shit
i dont give a shit

A.M. Fated Man
02:46
|
|||
|
sugar crusted diamonds falling out of the sky
I don't want to sleep tonight and I'll fucking tell you why
cause people are like most drugs only leave me with a frown
but I am A.M. fated man and I am never coming down
baby got a fever fucking 50mg
take me as I am cause I am Infinity
no expectations not dtf that's fine with me
did I mention I'm sterile high as fuck with no seed
I am an A.M. fated man
I am an A.M. fated mean man
I am in the basement
taking to much medicine
underneath the pavement
black tar lickerish cement

Solitary's Pose
05:15
|
|||
|
death will claim us all
fallow the winds call
for we were all just put here to learn
and find the black hole in the back of our brains
love is a free fall
best when the plane stalls
cause we can go down with each other
we get to go down with one another
or you can go down on your self
yeah go down on your self
now I'm all alone
no ones on the phone
but even though I never have met you
I somehow feel you and somehow know
you could be my all
help me to stand tall
and I could say that I never will hurt you
flirt with your friends and never desert you
but in the end I'm human and I hope you are too
until they day that we meet go down on whoever you want to
when ever you want to
where ever you like to
whoever you would do
or go down on your self
yeah go down on yourself
If you know the solitary pose
no need for marriage or for clothes
