I thought I died in a bad dream When somebody fucking stabbed me Everything went black and I lost all feeling I was thirteen I thought I died drinking listerine I thought I died on codeine I thought I died drinking gasoline I thought I died on ibuprofen I thought I died in a car crash I thought I died just driving too fast Or talking too fast Or thinking too fast Or drinking too fast Or even just playing outlast I thought I died in a hospital bed When they were trying to fix my head Except the thing is they told me that I'd be dead I've never felt a greater sense of dread I screamed and I hollered and I tried to bolt But they had police who could put me on sleeper hold So I put down my hand and I decided to fold And I thought I died listening to cloud cult I thought I died of a heart attack After eating too many steaks at outback And then running track I thought I died of a panic attack My heart was beating fast and everything was so off whack I was so upset that my life was so off track And then everything went black But I never the other side No end of the tunnel No white light No falling below No flight to new heights No insight

In 1850BC in Babylon I played my music under the sun You were sick, then you were gone You lost everyone I played at your healing rite But it didn't help you feel alright You were a sick and sorry sight All green and gray and white You were left and ostracized But I would stay right by your side We would find somewhere to hide And I played until you died In 420BC I was a student of Hippocrates No one really remembers me But it was a time I was happy You were staring at the moon Swearing something would happen soon They would laugh and call you a lunatic Next in AD 46 We were talking about the apocalypse We were standing under a crucifix With a delicate mix But then again in year 610 We were saying "carpe diem" Happiest we've ever been And then Then in 1925 I was institutionalized I was criticized and excorcized And held there 'til I died But when I knew that you were there too I felt happy for a minute or two They shocked our brains 'til they were stew Then life began anew Sometime later in '73 I was hooked on LSD I took so much I couldn't see And I swear it almost killed me We kept it going 'til '77 I did so much I was in heaven I took whatever I was given It was a crazy way of living But then my mind was forever changed The chemicals took over my brain I'm pretty sure I was insane And nothing was the same In 2015 I played guitar I deluded myself into thinking I was a star I didn't make it very far Until I was in the hospital again You weren't really in my life At that time Skip to 3066 We made it through an actual apocalypse We let all the land fall off And burn, burn, burn We were living Fallout style In little holes that went on for miles When I got out, I saw your face and I Smiled In 7078 I was in the center of the milky way You were still kind of hanging out In the boonies Thanks to rips through time and space Every once in a while I could see your face But even through half the galaxy You never felt that far away Then in the time of infinity We were all just energy I was you as you were me And we were all together

This is a story of a brick wall Impenetrable This is a story of broken mortar and pastel This is not a story that ends well This is a story of a wisp of air Blowing softly from ear to ear This is a story of a single cell This is not a story that ends well This is a story of a rusted nail This is a story of a mighty gale This is a story of the belief in hell This is not a story that ends well Nothing fallen but then again nothing gained Maybe we were only ever in each others' way Maybe I don't really have that much to say Maybe it's time to stop believing in fate You were a gateway drug You were the idea of love You were a two-handed hug You are swollen gums You were the sweet treat That comes before a rot in the teeth You are the space between cavities You were a failed project You were encapsulated regret You were canceled tickets to summerset You are the face of death You were the trees' fall leaves You were mold in holes of rotten trees You are the space between cavities

Losing all my feeling Losing all my meaning Escape in someone else One was so conceited One was all I needed Escape in someone else Escape in someone else And one made me smile And one stayed for a while But they said "I'm in love with a stranger" Escape in someone else Escape in someone else Messages deleted No one knows I cheated Escape in someone else Escape in someone else Escape in someone else Escape in someone e Escape in som Escape Es Escape i Escape in s Es E Escap Escape in Escape in someone else Don't break down

Could you send me a line? Just tell me the time Just tell me you're alive And you're feeling fine Just tell me ----- didn't fuck up your life Or mine ----- I'm alright I can sleep at night I don't need a night light to fix my fright I am ----- I am seeing What's in sight But I still think of you sometimes But that's the problem You were on my mind All the time I was barely alive I wasn't feeling fine It felt like something fucked up your life ----- mine I was not alright I couldn't sleep at night Not even a night light Could fix my fright I wasn't ----- I wasn't seeing What was in sight So I hope you're alright But it's probably best if I stay out of your life

Record Store 06:06
I met you for the first time at the record store I could tell you were new because you didn't know how to ring up my coupon I said "don't sweat it man" And you said "you know what? This one's on me. Great album anyways" I was shocked We talked for a while and we really seemed to click I felt like we were really hitting it off when I made my first, slight move I complimented your glasses You were a little put off You changed the subject until the next customer came You immediately focused your energy on this other customer And I know that you don't like me But I know that I just like to see You smile I quickly became a regular at the record store Doubling my collection You gave me recommendations every time I came into the store It got to the point where I wouldn't even have an album in mind I'd just wait for your recommendation And I know that you're not into me But when you're in the vicinity I smile I didn't buy anything the last time I went to the record store I just walked out and left my records on the counter I couldn't stand you that day I don't understand You've been so nice to me You seem to like my company But how could you say something so hateful? And maybe this animosity Will not become atrocity This time I've been avoiding the record store for a while now Records aren't worth dealing with you But I noticed you sent me a message online You apologized and said you wanted to meet with me We met at your place We talked for a while I'm still upset But you managed to make me smile And I still think you don't like me But I think you also like to see Me smile We've been hanging out pretty often Play some of that music I bought at the record store Play some video games Grab a drink I can't help but think Maybe this time But I'm not making any moves Just because we're friends doesn't mean you like me Just because you said I look cute doesn't mean anything necessarily Does it? But I thought I had a chance When you bought me a pack of cigarettes And I thought I had a chance When you accepted my friend request And I thought I had a chance When you told me you kissed someone Of the same sex But I think I know now that I never had a chance I saw you today at the record store You were talking to this other Woman I could tell you were really into her You were giving her all the signals Eye contact, body language The way your face lit up when she would tell you a joke And she handed you something I couldn't quite see what it was "She totally gave me her number" "I'm happy for you man You deserve it" And I know that you don't like me But I know that I just like to see You smile Show me your smile

Why? 03:20
And then it fell like snowflakes But instead caked in ash The faded little glimmers Erased the past But somehow you're reminded Of your own fake snow That would fall on cold days On the insides of your nose Or the blows With the breeze When you held Your knees Or afterwards When you caressed me Just one more Can I keep this in your purse Of everything in the Earth Don't you know what it's worth? Pieces were still burning But you stayed away from the fumes Because an inch closer Would've killed you While you wondered what to do You were consumed By an old flame Back in the day When you thought everything was okay And you'd stay In my backyard And light up While I lit a fire Your eyes filled with something I mistook for desire Or when you kept Getting higher In an old stairwell In my apartment complex And I could never tell I got used to the smell Like you get used to a stain Or a brain Gets used To almost anything Just one more Can I keep this in your purse? Out of everything in the Earth Don't you know what it's worth? Why? You cry I just wanted to get I interrupt you to admit It was me You scream And come after me I just wanted to set you free Or maybe It had to so with us What was wrong? Was I ever enough? What's really the fuss? Do you really need The buzzing Of the bees Comes out From the trees Disoriented fleas And angry geese Gives me Time to flee But please Don't forget me Not one more No you can't keep that in my purse Out of everything in the Earth Don't you know what I'm worth? Side effects may include But are not limited to Nausea Irritability Paranoia Decrease mobility Awareness of up to ten separate dimensions Very extremely reduced attention Visual awareness increases or decreases This product is not to be taken with Reese's Please do not take more than you did previously And if you keep doing that see a doctor immediately Are you even listening to me? Please tune in now because I want you to hear me Whatever happens Most importantly Please Never let go of reality

I had a couple runs with the devil So I keep my body numb with Advil Ativan Adderall Ambien Allegra And the doctors say It's still okay It'll be okay Someday But the list goes on Of what went wrong Of what went on That day Don't panic Don't panic Please don't panic Today But why'd you have to go away? You know It really had nothing to do with you And the dealers say It'll be okay Just one more bag Just one more drag

One Soul 00:46
One soul on hold One soul in the burner One soul comes home One soul left to go
11.
'Cause I'm a lone heart but with parts connected to the others and when we stand apart we're still standing near each other and when the molecules and soundwaves get from me to you it goes through you. And what do I say when my jokes don't land? And what do I do when things don't go to plan? And how do I say that you're my man when you can pick me up and hold me in your hands? I'm a wreck but holy heck when you hold me in your gaze oh how it hurts my hallow heart when you look away and your smile goes on for miles in my brain
