Broken Vent

Disavow to shadows now
You're back to plans of leaving town again
Driving to amend
You and I tried to disappear
Terrified we don't belong here
Is there a space for us somewhere?
I hope so, I hope so
But I don't know
Stumble down, be careful
Forgetful, unrestful
Desperate, young, alone and lost
Growing debt and we can't pay the cost of rent
Nothing worse than a broken vent
I'm afraid, caught in a trap
I can't look down and I can't look back
And I can't pretend
Will I be in your arms again?

Nature, you've put up with the worst of us
Skidoo, the injuries we caused beyond repair
Liars, broke barometers that measure trust
So fucked, let's initiate and get the hell out of here
I want a new planet to colonize
I want anarchy in terms of no hierarchy
I don't want uniformed creatures directing me
Nightmares occur when I dream I'm still living here
23 skidoo
What else could we do?

King Baby

Oh don't she look like good news
Don't you always feel like you look like bad news
By virtue, of never having really grown up
Take this with a grain of salt
Laugh at me it's all my fault
I am king baby
Whining
Babbling half incoherently
I'm inconsolable, comfort me
I am king baby
Whining
Oh don't she look like good news
Don't you always feel like you look like bad news
By virtue, of never having really grown up
You see a pretty scene and blow it up
You caught the fear of never showing up

Grim as Crumb

The only conversations I have are in my dreams
I want the ending but I don't have the means
I forgot the combinations and I can't find the keys
Chemical imagination so I never have to leave
Give me one good reason to go outside
Give me one good reason to try
The only complications I have while I'm awake
Competing with my ego to give more than I take
I'm losing all my patience, can't help but feel fake
Connect me to sensation so my psyche doesn't break
Give me one good reason to go outside
Give me one good reason to reason at all

We won't listen to anybody
Including each other
We don't wanna be 'round anyone
Including each other
We only need family connections to fund this happiness
I'll call my dad, you call your mom
We'll see how high these trust funds run
I'll go to the liquor store and buy us some booze
And you buy every drug you can
Mmmmm...
We fixed in a room at the ritz in LA
And we laughed at the world in dismay

You got ideals well we all do
We want the real best point of view
Cuz you gotta get sure
Gotta justify this idea of you
Some get high but we all stoned
We speculate convinced we know
That we're pretty damn sure
We know what's right
And we talk and talk and run our mouths all night
So here's the thing
You can justify about anything
We're all just suffering to break the cycle of suffering
We all wanna change the world
But we can hardly change ourselves
So we can't change the world
You got beliefs well we all do
Wouldn't you think that we know the truth
We gotta get sure
Gotta justify this idea of you
And we perceive
That what we do
Is the best that we can do
That's fucking abstract
So where's the proof
Cuz all I see is do is run our mouth all the fucking time

Sore eyes
You've seen a lot of TV static skies
And people underneath them pass through your life
Breaking you and faking promises to disguise those same lies
Every sunrise since the first time that he made you cry
Now you use it as a lullaby on long nights
You try not to think of things you left behind
Stuck with the same mind where nothing feels fine at all
Show us how to be around
Show us to settle down
'Til we believe that we are strong
Yeah a gorgeous song
That we sing and we know we don't owe anything
To those who've done us harm
Sore eyes
Filled with pasts of happiness and light
But just before the avalanche take flight
Just below the rays of future nights
Surrounded by the ones you love
Comfort takes form of a soft voice whisper 'home'
A word to take you across the sky
Ohio
The place you learned to love and grow
Into to you
The real you
That part they could never take from you
Sore eyes
You will find the space to breathe and shine
Just allow yourself the love and time
