We Become Ill

Wait, I’m alone again
It's how I feel
With loss as my only friend
I swear you couldn’t hear
The Town is on fire
To purge the virus
We become ill
Where were you
In your head
When you hid
From their hands
Life in a America
Is never what it seems
Coiled in the undergrowth
A blind hate rattling
Where were you
In your head
When you hid
From their hands

Age of Dysphoria
03:46

Time
Is taking a toll on me
It seems as though that we are
Caught in a web of lies
Tangled inside of our minds
Fear
Is getting ahold of me
It seems as though that you
You won’t take my hand
Bare our burdens to be seen
But Are We All Caught Up
In an Age of Dysphoria?
Too tangled to claw for light
We retreat to our despair
In the dark
We gasp for air
But Are We All Caught Up
In an Age of Dysphoria?

Limbo Paradise

I won’t turn around
If I don’t even know myself
It’s all brand new
Dancing through
Limbo Paradise
Nothing can harm us here
Don’t be confused
Watching the world
In all its bitterness
Because we, we’re not like they are
We keep it simple here
Oh no, we’re not like them
And they, they’re not here
I won’t touch the ground
Bending until I’m clear
Don’t break the news
I feel too old
To carry on
Feeling responsibly
Don’t let abuse
Define your world
In all its bitterness
Because we, we’re not like they are
We keep it simple here
Oh no, we’re not like them
And they, they’re not here
We’ll Bend and Break Our Spines
With Eyes Upturned
And Burned
By Dying Starlight
To Avoid the Burden
Of Someone Else’s Gaze
All Praise
The New God
All Praise
For the Rest of Our Days
Our Paradise

I Threw A Fit
03:42
|

Last night I came home
And threw a fit
Because I double-booked the weekend
And I lost the top to the super glue
How do you do it
Why do you put up with me
When I can’t put up with all the stains
on my sleeves
It’s a long time to be
In love with you
But are you sure I’m worth it
Losing cool
In traffic
Baby is that what you want
Does it turn you on
When I fart
I know that you
Are used to it
But baby should you take the chance
On baby-man’s eternal urgent pee-pee dance
It’s a long time to be
In love with you
But are you sure I’m worth it
But oh my dear
We’re getting married
Shouldn’t this be scary to you
And All my fears
Are sedentary
Shouldn’t this be scary to you
But oh my dear
We’re getting married
Shouldn’t this be scary to you

When You Call Me
03:18
|

At times I feel like an asshole
Because everyone is in the way
Of all my empty ambitions
To get myself along
But when you call me, I feel something
When you call me I feel something else…
And when you say those words
Baby I’m circling the drain
Of all my empty ambitions
To make myself alone
But when you call me, I feel something
When you call me I feel something else…
I’ll have you know
You were gone for so long
And when you go
I am lost
but when you call me, i feel something
when you want me, i feel something
when you haunt me, i feel something
when you love me, i am something else
I’ll have you know
You were gone for so long
And when you go
I am lost

Circles In The Dark
05:12

Who was I then?
I don’t know,
But here we are
Driving circles in the dark
There’s nothing on the radio
And there's no need to talk
Is there anything I don’t know
The shape of the moon
Or your childhood scars
We were young together
And we wanted to be left alone
To grow old
Childish I suppose
Years went by and we held on
Now we’re running late for work
So our nights grew short
But I’m grateful for the time
We drove circles in the night
Doing nothing at all
We were young together
And we wanted to be left alone
to grow old
And I still hope so
Cuz I’ll learn new words
To describe
the shape of the moon;
the way of you and I.

Your face can never lie
I’ve seen the altars of pain
Don’t ask me to forget our sins
I cannot be fooled again
We’re in our final hours
These feelings I can’t say
I can’t believe I never
Loved you
I couldn’t find the answer in your eyes

For Solo

You challenged us
To grow, in your last post
You said hate does no good,
and fear of hate has spun you
But did you know, in your growth, you were so much more?
You hid yourself
Until the racist march ran through your heart
You said Intelligence is beautiful
In all its many forms,
And you begged their frothing mouths to stop
But did you know, in your soul, you were so much more?
You said we should
Be patient as you grow
And I wish that you were here so I could
Because I know you'd do the same for me
We don't choose what we're born into,
But we can change what we leave behind
So I'll tell the world, you were a gentle word
In the crossfire of what we were,
and what we must become.
