The cold calamity came and went as the church burned down You saw the gods and demons nowhere Just a man with a torch and a barrel of gasoline The incident led to the private investigator Tracking every perpetrator When they lucked out for nobody seemed to care Do you really wanna live that was? I’m stealing Knick knacks from the arts and crafts department so take my life and take my family Do you really wanna live that way? Taking care of all your children when you’ll never know when they’ll come and take. That’s how you find It’s only different because it’s mine But I know you know you don’t want the medication you prescribe No mister police man spare me I’m spreading my tentacles and I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m sorry The calamity went in as your condo set ablaze You never liked the way they were shaped and you cannot helpnit when the spirits are to blame That’s why there’s a knocking on my chamber door Your feeling the scourge You let them in You let them know that the place is rigged Do you really wanna live that way? It’s plaguing my mind like gnats plague wine So take my life and take my family Do you really wanna live that way Taking care of all your children You’ll never know when they’ll come and take them. This use to be such a quaint little town but now it’s all around and you have got nowhere to burn your house

Rural 03:08
The trees all sway in disagree Hey sir can I have my ticket please? Well don’t be sad when I walk away I was raised by animals and open flames Common nobles in hills of glass all stumbling fancy and vaping trash And I see the mountains that moloch made and the pampered owls floating beside me Ah hey He’s feeling glad He’s a rural lad Burning machines love rubbing my brain we live like mice in the maze of shade And the sprites crawl in and growls crawl out and the yearns and turns that they scream about Ah hey He’s feeling glad He’s a rural lad But it’s all we’ve ever known Through the hills and the snow When the sun was in our eyes Don’t you see what I mean? Well here I am Dreaming of the fields in my pen Screaming down the halls Tearing down the walls The trees all sway in disagree Hey sir can I have my ticket please Well don’t be sad when I walk away I was raise by animals and open flames

Hope to see you sometime When mornings on the rise Wishing never hurt you But who you wishing too? When I’m no ones boy and you’re no ones girls in nobody’s world but our own And when seafoams of joy are broken like toys Everyone’s a Saint even you Hope that no one sees me Scrying in my green tea Hope you see you someday When mornings on the way And when you wish upon a star They’ll wonder how the hell you are Pray the name of Jesus Christ Swear to your Beelzebub it’s alright Spend you precious money in hell I think you’re late for the show and tell But I’m no ones boy and you’re no ones girls in nobody’s world but our own And seafoams of joy are broken like toys Everyone’s a Saint even you And you’re no ones boy and I’m no ones girls in nobody’s world but our own So let’s all rejoice in discordian voices Everyone’s a Saint even you

Our World 03:09
Trapped in a room arguing with a ghost I claimed he never existed He says that we’re close Always believe I am not who you are I don’t really know because I’ve never known The stars are falling from the sky It’s made of paper but you don’t ask why My eyes made rain when I said farewell The mead taste bitter when you know it’s not real Who are you? My eyes got wide when leviathan showed He said “don’t be sad, life is just a joke. When you’re lost in the desert made of water and clay The sand packed its bags and was on its way!” Lost in the weather with a dove and the choir My soul came back when I left the empire My eyes got wide when Quetzalcoatl showed She said “Come with me for you’re apart of our world Our World The galaxies have just burned out The milky ways spoiled and seeping down The creatures laughed as I fell in the sea I said “Do you mind? But I am trying to sleep” Who are you? When oh everyone you know Oh well it seems they move real slow But I’m sure you’re alright by yourself You never had a soul to tell

And to my other friends I understand it’s not the end It’s still turning turning another day It’s frightening outside why stay in with all your photographs I don’t care to remember that And I won’t feel bad About my age demo-graph Or spitting in the streets You expect me to sing songs about love and the pain it treats But you know it’s more than surface level Can we move on? This exhibit’s boring now Everywhere I turn index fingers do burn Satan’s always got my back to make sure I’m the worst Oh you never listen Oh call it a vision Now Oh now Oh now Oh now And to my friends of yesterday Forever glad you never stayed You’re always saying hi while you say sieg heil And everyone is so goddamn proud of you I don’t care about your common place stares And I won’t feel bad about my age demo-graph Or spitting in the streets You expect me to sing songs about love and the pain it treats But you know it’s more than surface level Can we move on This exhibits boring now

Mighty mansion In a choir Take some time to remember where your candles at In a turn Of life My crystal ball is reading that the odds are alright And when the odds are alright Then the evenings fine Tigers with swords just the worst A ten foot mouse and an elephant that hurts Imperials must die Take some time To laugh with the devil and sing in a yellow Oh no yellow Green hay shacks In a dead band Something’s rotten in the state of every wonderland Fix it now and love every sound And pull out the thorn and watch the blood pour down The beautiful blood Pouring down Kill your love with a scythe When he steps out of line with a knife Coo coo for clean He’s so green Making everyday a scene
