Hey There 03:15
Can you grab the scissors? I need you to cut this rope I just thought of my sister Plus it hurts my throat Hey there mister Can I use your phone? I just thought of my brother And the silence that we know I'm the runt of the litter So much for the afterglow I just thought of my father I'm afraid to watch him go Hey there, Mister I really want to go home I just thought of my mother I hope she doesn't feel alone

Orlando 02:36
I'm goin back to Orlando To commit some felonies And when I come up to New England You'll think the worst of me My face will be plastered on pictures "WANTED" the text will read you won't let me explain a thing and you'll want me six feet deep But it don't matter No it don't matter to me Cause you'll have your ideas I'll drink my beer And we'll be dead in the dirt soon I'm going to back to Orlando I can't say I'm too proud a man with the biggest ears I've seen he's taken everything I've had He got my wallet and he got my mind He lives in a fantasy I'm gonna put him in so far in the ground Make a mockery of Mickey But it don't matter No it don't matter to me The children will cry And I'll feel miserable But the magic kingdom took all my money

So I Sleep 03:01
It's 7 am I'm woken up I hear you screaming down the stairs You're shotuing "that's abuse" And I'm too afraid to go down there So I sleep my dreams I keep And there's a version of myself that's not afraid to speak I can't say it's unfamilar In fact these sounds are quite routine I don't think you've ever hit her but I'm sure she's sick of all the screams So I sleep My dreams are weak And now I'm a light sleeper thanks to you So I sleep my dreams I keep And there's a version of myself that's not afraid to speak

Maybe I have no reasons Maybe you have quite a few Maybe we're due this season to change from what we're used too but I never felt a difference and you never saw and I had little confidence Please turn off Warsaw I've never liked Joy Divison I don't need a reason please turn off the radio or I'll smash it to pieces
5.
No I don't have a different joke Lately I seem to be all out of those but whatever makes you laugh please go towards that the last thing I want is for you to feel bad and I can't decide if this is my life or I am just acting for the night No I don't have a different joke you could say my humor's gone or you could say I should switch coasts but whatever I decide to do I know it'll be with you so please humor me as we walk under the falling trees and I do know that this is the show that I was meant to watch thanks for not changing the program

storm clouds sit above a prision how fitting? tiny boxes move along the the asphlat for daily bread winning you're cheating on your wife but you've never considred sinning and a kid is doing life cause he sold, and they got him for killing and i'm doing alright for this american living the rain comes down and floods the cells how persistent the tiny boxes park themselves engines hissing and your wife will never know that you're fucking your assitant and that kid is on death row and no one will visit and I'm feeling low in this american living

Bug 01:54
There are bugs all around me every night they surround me if they crawl in my mouth I'll become one it'll be different let's give it a run I'll have more legs I might be able to fly I'll die sooner and no one will cry I won't have to focus on the future I'll be gone in a day and I'll be deemed as useless that's just what I want to live and be forgot I want to get trapped and never come back I'd never get hurt I'd never have to work I'd have one thousand eyes and never see the worst but I'm not they never crawled in my mouth I woke up still a human I want to get out

four or five years ago I saw this tv show and on it was a guy that said he would never die and I said man that's impossible aren't you a little accident prone all the sudden from the TV the man in the box responded to me and he said "this is make believe can't you have some fun or are you always bummed?" I couldn't belive what I just seen this man talkin to me from my TV so I threw my soda on the ground it flooded the room, and I packed my bags then left town I posted up in a motel six outside of minneapolis the air was too cold to breathe so I stayed inside and watched tv I flipped through the channels and there he was balding in a suit, with a beer gut and he said to me "it's just TV, I'm harmless ya see everything's adding up to this, I'm on every TV in every motel six I'm on channel one at the club channel two at your friend lou's channel three on your mom's tv channel four in every college dorm channel five at the local dive channel six at for the apocolypse and channel seven at your house Kevin channel eight at that guy's house you hate channel nine in the grocery line and channel ten when it's time your end I'm the devil can't you see I'm everywhere you need to be x4
