I found you here I said your name I been meaning to snuff the candle out get sane Crack the spine but the pilgrims flood like buckets of rain Our detectors detect another enemy plane I'd alert you but you don't come around here anymore I found you here and I hit the floor Blink if our love is old hat Breathe if you know it's that bad Where am I going? Who am I kissing? I know you're my customer, We wear the same armor And where will we sleep at night? Everyone's mean to us The battleground's green enough Planes will touch down on us Always behind the clock Throwing bread to the ducks Will I make our bread from stone I can't do that alone I can't do that alone I can't do that alone

Hide Nothing 02:25
A good mutation we should be reaching The public air is all we've been breathing And I can't decide how angry we should be "Yes" but at the same time "No" but at the same time "Yes" I take my tantrums way too far Maybe I forgive you For what you turned me into You're my pimp but the gases in the blimp are way too hot Loves on the shoulders of your road hide nothing from you And who they were seeing last fall is the only truth I'm sick of these teams of brothers I know it's none of my business Sick of these teams of sisters No, she's nobody I knew I created a monster He's a golden treasurer Loves on the shoulders of your road hide nothing from you And who they were seeing last fall is the only truth I'm sick of these teams of brothers I know it's none of my business Sick of these teams of sisters No, she's nobody I knew

I can't sleep cuz a common panic brushed me right against the grain Whenever I resort to a feeling it's cuz I can't get up again I'm scared of it now, maybe the drum is a crutch so I fail for singing crowd We sure gamble a lot when we're awake So pillow why get off you now? But now you wanna scrawl on the banner Cuz panic just occurs to you Does a burnout have to lick fences Just to try to taste the truth? I gambled a lot so the pope is gonna have to break me at the knees 'til we chase the pope around in a dented cab like fake police Neighbors can hear you feel you when you breathe neighbors you know I'm awake cuz I can't take heat As I say another hail mary prayer they bust the closet door down but no one's in there except for hail mary cloaked in calm duress and I ask the question is now the hour of my death? Why should i get off of it now? Whenever I resort to a feeling it's cuz I can't get up again and now I wanna scrawl on the banner cuz panic just occurred to me does a burnout have to lick fences just to try to make a scene

Teacups were rattling on their saucers As waves rose from the lake They folded and froze feet from my face They bent but didn't break And at the ending of world war 2 My horse was installed in a long ice cube Chased into a river she thought would flow How the hell could she have known? But me, I'm not dead yet When I asked you said I didn't have to Didn't ask, you say I have to Everyone does, o bla di o bla da You swallow the glass onion The poison goes into the blood You put it on the skin, it won't go in I'm scared as shit that my time exists And what is the time before for? Add it up, numbers are coming up

Happy Easter to my sister and my mom and dad Jesus has broken jail it makes us all laugh Now he must be in the air the purple crocuses breathe Cuz he closed all of the liquor stores in Tbilisi Happy Easter to my nephews and my bro in law Assigning flavors of play doh to the stations of the cross They let you fail the quiz maybe once or thrice But by the fourth failure they set you upright I found you here I said your name I know just where you hid the eggs But what's inside is only air It's empty space but chocolate flavored Now Cain would declare it just isn't fair But Abel would say he don't care Happy Easter to my sister and my mom and dad
