Fu*k Yr Stuff Cuz this is my sh*t I've been looking for some perspective I've been looking in all the wrong places Like my television, and the internet ...there's some really messed up shit on there I've been looking for a point of view I've been looking for a point of reference I've been looking for some context I've been looking for a place for all my stuff I need a place for all my stuff Get with the program Caught with a triple click Tracking my every move I am yr target Where'd my stuff go? Who took my stuff? Who moved my shit? Where's that thing that I got for Christmas last year? Where is it!? Fu*k yr stuff, cuz this is my shit (everybody) It's piling up and you seem so down Feed the monkey (We got to) feed the monkey I've been looking for a point I've been looking for a sharp object I've been looking for pointy sharp object Fuck, it's piling up Why are you so down? Don't be so down

You say you'd never see yrself with the likes of me So gouge your eyes out, and let's go Suspend ourselves in unhailed frequencies Until we can't stand each other, and the bridge fails And from the shore I see the storm Blowing in reasons I can't defend anymore It doesn't have to be just the two of us anymore It doesn't have to be just the two of us getting bored anymore You're a pretty picture with an ugly filter And I'm tired of squinting and straining for you So right yr lines and I'll write mine Pretend to seal our fates for the last time And the sight of rain can't make me stay Nor the smell of roses on a really bad day It doesn't have to be just the two of us anymore It doesn't have to be just the two of us getting bored anymore

Promises, promises, promise me All I need And I swear I'll follow you to the end of the line (right on time) (Sell... Buy...) But always along the party line Promises, promises, promise we Will be better off (4 more years!) Than four years ago than our parents' generation than the goddamn excess of the 80s (Fuck the 80s) (Kill... Buy... Sell... Die...) But always along the party line (left right black white gay straight wrong right) Who's side are you? I said who's side are you on? (rich poor saint whore red blue less more) Pick a side motherfucker! Idealogical Idea-illogical The party line Weeeeee were just looking for the party The party line Waiting for change in the party line To the left... now, to the right Idealogical Idea-illogical The party line Sell my soul to tow the party line I want... I want... I want... I want my GMOs (left right black white gay straight wrong right) So... who's side are you? I'm not mad I just want to know who's side are you on? (rich poor saint whore red blue less more) Pick a side motherfucker! Idealogical Ideal-illogical We were just looking for the party

White hat / black hat Been there / bombed that I've got clean hands and a dirty bible I take my orders from the man and sacrifice to his idles Papa birthed a girl again and sold her into slavery What's to be inherited from a land of blind bravery? This is my country there are many like it but this one is mine So this is America? I got blood on my plate trickling down from the ceiling I was my hands say my prayers but the paint keeps peeling And I try to hide my face and beg for a little grace (Dirty plans... Unclean hands) Women and children father and sons everyone is equal at the barrel of a gun White and black though more black than white Coming for anyone who puts up a fight And there's no end in sight No end in sight (But this is America) This is my country there are many like it but this one is mine So this is America? And we're the good guys right? (Matthew Leary)

Dumb Mouth 02:48
Caught me in the bathroom with my pants down and my phone out making synth sounds with my dumb mouth but i couldn't find the words Checking messages and updates man, yr life looks so great next to mine it's a sign of the times that I can't write a line that's not dripping and tripping in jealousy and self pity What if I can't stop? What would that do to you? Popping bottom shelf bottles of bourbon spending all of my earnings on booze and cigarettes candy crushing all my time on the internet and my girl says she's not feeling it Anymore it's a chore to be bored with a self-obsessed asshole whose music is a black hole that he can disappear into everyday, every night What if I can't stop? What would that do to you?

My Headache 06:59
I haven't seen it snow in 10 years I haven't seen yr face in 5 or thereabouts And though you don't care to know I'm doing fine Crashing house parties and going on long drives Out in the countryside After the cities die Where I can try and remember why I loved you cuz I think I used to ...right? You are my headache Your birthday came and went without fanfare Truth is I forgot it for the third year But when I'm reminded by my timeline I get this stinging pain right behind my left eye It comes and goes from eye to eye until my brain is filled with flies and how can I even sleep at night knowing that I hurt you Do you still think about it too? ...No? You are my headache Is it cold on yr coast? and is that coat enough to keep you warm? cuz I bought it to keep you warm

I hate my friends Buzzing behind the wheel in my mind and my lane it feels so wiiiiiiiide Cash strapped finishing glasses last call exit the masses and I'm a bullet of justice too loaded to function I don't know where I'm going I don't know how to spend my time I make some money I spend that money (I hate my friends) They're always talking shit about me behind my back (I hate my friends) They told me my girlfriend's ugly (I hate my friends) They never show up when they say they're going to (I hate my friends) But they're the only ones I got and I'm sick of their excuses and I take them for granted I hate my friends I hate everyone and everyone hates me (aaaaawwwwwwww) I'm not asking for a soul mate I'm not asking for a bestie I just want a D.D. I hate my friends

I see the sign up ahead Says I should get out of bed Put on a shirt and some pants and do a mating dance But what about the next day? Do I just do the same? Don't know how much of the week I should just do me... Made my downpayment for change Got suckered by a rigged game Paid more to level the plane It crashed and burned anyway Now I'm not calling it quits But I don't know how to fix A system based on gold bricks Become an alchemist? I make plans I know I'll break I can't help myself these days And I can see what my father sees Looking at me so expectantly Knowing that we will never be The men we want our sons to see Oh man I've tried and tried To be / do more next time Learning from my mistakes Always a little too late Oh God what sweet relief To be buried in sleep Until then I'm alive I guess that counts for something The day John died... nothing changed The day Bob died... nothing changed The day God died... nothing changed The day Frank died... nothing changed I just keep waiting Nothing changes We are nothing to anyone

...Jump 03:16
After tonight I swear I'll never touch the stuff That's a bluff and you know it well I can tell from her look she's cooking up an argument that leads back to cigarettes I'm not down but I'm definitely not walking straight And I'd hate to debate my case In front of all these unfriendly faces and crowded spaces Sneaking smoke breathers in the front of the bar Hiding in plain sight, waving at passing cars Thinking 'bout hitching to some place where you belong But yr friends are still inside Thinking there's nothing wrong So just Jump No don't Think It won't Get Better than this...
