birds II

let's leave early
(consequences)

litter

hey kid, here's some things to think about on your way to wherever you're headed:
always give the right of way to the birds
be patient
don't rely on other people's expectations
and before you go, always remember to clean up after yourself

nuclear pigeon

in this nuclear wasteland
i can finally tell you how i feel (figures)
won't you sing with us?
are you serious?
i want to give you my heart but
i can't find it
i can't find it
i can't find it
i can't find it
i can't find it
i can't find it
i can't find it......

dream

i dream of you sometimes
when i'm the blue one behind my eye
i never wanna see you again

but it's not as sad as it used to be
we like the way the sky meets the tops of the trees

parked myself in that spot we know
it's so different now, all covered in snow
i heard something horrible about you

(i am dead)
told myself
(you are dead)
i wouldn't go
(i am dead)
but i guess i said a lot of things
(you are dead)

i am dead
you are dead
i am dead
you are dead

(i am dead)
always been
(you are dead)
and always will
(i am dead)
be faithful to
(you are dead)
all else but you
(i am dead)
guess you didn't see that coming
(you are dead)
you selfish fuckng bitch

dear hound

i want another shot
another way to kill the pain
another day of feeling lame
i gotta say, i gotta say
i fucking hate you

i fucking hate the way you talk
i fucking hate the way you breathe
i hate the way i need to need you

so what if i'm living in her shadow?
so what if i'm never gonna get old?
so what if i think about the beaches?
so what if i'm never gonna reach them?

never gonna reach them
never gonna reach them
never gonna reach them
never gonna reach them

i wish that you were dead
so i can purge that cherry red
oh, it hurts inside my head
i gotta stay, i gotta stay
i wanna see blue

i wanna see it in the sky
i wanna see it in the trees
the trees...

tick

been so long
how you been?
yeah, his skin's
still paper-thin
i've been good
sucking blood
making art
killing god

all these voice sound like you
i mixed the colors red and blue
i saw your face behind my eyes
i killed myself but i survived

burn in heaven
drown your light
eat your virtues
wait in line

salt as money
mud as wine
the water's running
towards the fire

i am often
reminded of
the woods we went to
when we were young

i never met you
i never cried
i never felt them
behind my eyes

hurt hurt people people

i heard a voice
sounded so familiar
flung wide the door...

and you're there
but only in my dreams
oh, i wake up and try to remember
but i never can

why don't you listen to me for once?
we could be happier for once
i could be happier for once

but all the brains he had went straight to his head
you got him thinking that he's better off dead
oh, but you know he's nothing to me
i'm gonna kill him first
then you'll see
then you'll see
then you'll see
i'm gonna kill myself
then you'll see
then you'll see
then you'll see

moose

if you walk away we'll never be the same
never be the same
never be the same
burning all our bridges oh we'll never be the same
never be the same
never be the same

by the side of the road i died
my velvet scraped there's blood on the ceiling
i think i know your name but it hurts to say
i think i'm to blame but i tried to change
park, pull over, and show her

if you walk away we'll never be the same
never be the same
never be the same
burning all our bridges oh we'll never be the same
never be the same
never be the same
if you walk away we'll never be the same
never be the same
never be the same
burning all our bridges oh we'll never be the same
never be the same
never be the same

die

i am the force that makes the ground move
i am the god that the fools pray to
soak your ashes in a deep red truth
bury you with me and the sky is the color of blood

and you'll be fucking dead
you told me not to worry but i just wanna know
not another motherfucker
always got a frown and some stains on his clothes
burn them all in some symbolic show of raw emotion
and she won't be controlled
i'm taking back the only thing i ever really wanted
was my place on the throne

tegu

never thought it'd be so hard
never thought it'd be so beautiful

the colder my blood gets the more i seem
dangerous from the outside
i hurt you for the last time

i say i'm fine being alone
but if you called i know i'd pick up the phone
i trace you steps and i walk for miles
just trying to feel what i felt just one more time

satan satan devil devil

can you open up the door
cause it's about to start to pour
and i need to use your phone my battery's dead

i know this might seem weird
but i've seen you on tv
or maybe in a dream
it's your face that made me feel so free
hurry before he sees me

satan satan devil devil
i just got another little
tiny glimpse of heaven through the corner of my eye
but the only thing i saw
was that bright red sky
so i checked inside my skull
to see if it was inside

what were they talking about?
i never wanna see those faces again
well, maybe just one more time

he's still drinking seltzer in the back
at least give the courtesy to
give the reins over sometime

satan satan devil devil
i just got another little
tiny glimpse of heaven through the corner of my eye
but the only thing i saw
was that bright red sky
so i checked inside my skull
to see if it was inside

i'll spill it all over the floor
and leave the rest at your door

creek water

what is lost is found
just a little further down
this river flows underground
don't forget to drown

if you wait for heaven
you'll wait forever
no one's waiting
for your letters
aren't we just so
great together?
i advise you
to forget her

"but i guess it's gonna be okay"
took you a long long time to say
but the water's running faster back in
i said i never wanna see her again
your mind's all over the place
screaming under your face
i killed god when i met him
i killed that worthless obsession
i will not submit to fiction
all of history is friction
i'm biding my time
biting my tongue
swallowed it whole

all this time i thought you knew
all your vices split in two
gonna make you proud
gonna paint the town a deep fucking red
