My Manifesto 02:36
Heart beats Can you be sure that you’re the right one to crack through? And I don’t get the sense that I’m even someone who’s supposed to be here, no Sometimes I wish I’d die All of the time I keep saying: read my manifesto Talk about denial or am I wrong? But you didn’t use it And everything you thought was truthful Turned out to be retarded That’s not right I used to be an artist but somewhere along the way I fucked up And what do I get? The songs I’m singing It’s all in my head and then transposed from a phone And when you die, do you see the light? As you become something beautiful
3.
Oh no, I used to rock a new Nintendo And when it vibrates it really wanna makes me go: “whoa…” What do I get? It’s not worth living to try and find someone who fits just like you, you won’t though It’s okay, I get it You’re too pitiful Oh no no…they never reached us To be unattended/out of debt, you’d know what everyone was talking about Oh no no… they never reached us To be unattended/on our own, how can I say “fuck you” today? Oh “it gets better” is just something that we try and tell kids so they don’t eat cyanide/end their lives This modern world is just gonna keep on getting worse And what do I get? It’s not worth living to try and find someone who fits just like you, you won’t though It’s okay, I get it I’m guess I’m being too critical
4.
Where do you live? Is it safe? Do you feel at ease when the gates close behind me? Got a feeling that it was never gonna to come true A distant thought, a feeling, in the event what I might do And then it happened, no longer a day dreaming thought Sneaking suspicion that’s it’s all coming back to haunt me Where do you live? Is it safe? Do you feel at ease when the gates close behind me? ***!@#$%^& +_)(*&^%$#@!!@# ***say that shit to my face: (mockingly) “oh her emails…” Slither Back into the heap of shit that you came from Where do you live? Is it safe?

Marijuana Gotta have it Marijuana And if you ever see him again, he’ll be in a furious pose of relaxation Don’t look at these wounds on the walls Think about how many times we wrecked this house Marijuana Gotta have it Marijuana

untitled X 01:37
Kings drinking, that’s all I could see. So much truth in the blanket it seems And it all means anything It all means anything To me It all means anything It all means anything It all means anything It all means anything I say that “I thank ya” for your kid’s painting, it is the worst thing I have ever seen A piece of shit That’s living on my walls I’ll throw it out when no one is looking I had to get here
7.
The Drums 02:10
Tell me please And I'll only ask you this one time Let it go Let me leave right now Can't concentrate and school is almost over Let it go Let me leave right now Mutually Could be reality And we both know I gotta go right now So new and shiny, it’s the only thing that matters Right now Let me just play the drums
8.
Level (LVL) 01:11
And the tears that flow felt like a river Come and get on after the show I can’t navigate this unknown place without you If you could see me now I think that you’d proud of the son that you never had Will I see you again in this life time? I don’t think so Think so, think so… It just freaks me out that you won’t be there when I call You’re checking out? I don’t blame you
9.
My Forearm 02:04
Can’t figure it out What is up with my irritability? I don’t know if it’s you, or if it’s me The things you do they really get me Yeah So irritated, my mind and body Forgot about the thought That you had had about waking up each day, how it gets harder and harder I wish I could say a thing or two about it truthfully: I fucking doubt it Oh And when the pills kicked in, it was so clear My forearm glistens brightly in the sunlight
10.
Why don’t you just take it easy? Especially at the speed you drive But I guess: stop wondering Fuck off. Life is vacant You just laughed and the drink that you had made you pissed and it shot right thru me Please get it out of me. Pick the scab
11.
terror dome 00:56
I was the one who wanted a home terror dome I was the one who made it my own terror dome I got my face smacked, fell on my ass and this is where I called my new home And when the cops come they better come packing ‘cause this is my terror dome
12.
That’s far out… Run Like a pathfinder Putting a band-aid On a gaping hole Won’t stop the blood flow And I tried to see it thru the eyes of an idiot but it’s all the same Like a pathfinder Like a pathfinder, tell me what is the cause of my anxiety, is it going to kill me? I think soon Like a pathfinder, no footsteps to follow
13.
Go home and throw the can in a big pile Always so hard to describe her Tell me: where do you live??? There was the one about the guy who had a face like an insect and if you had always known it then you ought’ve avoided him Sneaking suspicions that he’s always coming back to haunt me Hey man I just won a credit card But you can’t have one You called your boy and bought a bag of coke and did it in a weekend And no one was listening so we just went away And I can place the blame It wasn’t me It was you
14.
You’re more than that but then again, I hate that/you Because you went too far Do what you want, but man that shit can kill you And then you went too far And it feels like lately I can’t be let down Some kind of act of a god who reminds you he’s the thinnest And the things you maybe thought knowing it’s too late I’m such a dumbass Too many demons circling round your head, that’s all Sometimes I’ll just wait for you to appear I turn the light off when I am wasted, wait for a sign that you’re still here because I miss you
15.
I heard Sally Ride never died. It was the ball of flames that ended her physical form And it’s over time that hope feels like a hole and you can’t take yourself out of it Who needs fun? With my bag of drugs I’ll make some for us Txt me in the morning Everyone’s addicted to something, at least mine was a fun thing So if you’re feeling tired then go eat an Adderall Remember when younger when you used to feel something? But you’re older So much older…
