1.
MK-ULTRA (free) 02:00
We will burrow into your mind We don't care if you mind We will burrow into your mind We're already into your mind You won't forget that you're mine Will you believe in me? Will you believe in me? You will believe in me We'll make you believe in me You won't forget that you're mine Bluebird You won't forget that you're mine
2.
I hadn't been there for the longest time You brought me there The song that burned love deep into your heart Burned holes into mine The longest time If I'd have known I would be sleeping alone Twin sized would do Discussed the merits of a sleepworn couch I saw we all slept alone We all sleep alone
3.
Lemonade (free) 03:10
My friends are all here And I am not The doors are all closed And they lock I just need some time to myself I just need some time for my health The doors are all closed And they're locked But the door is exposed And they knock I just need some place for my head I just want some space in my bed
4.
Zombie Phoenix (free) 03:04
We burned alive In the fire First my wings Then my heart turned black I can change it back We got buried alive Under dirt Soiled my wings Then my heart turned brown I can turn around
5.
Black Magic (free) 01:42
My world is made of black magic And I won't share it Take all the colors you want out of me But please leave my evil I was once told I am broken No wiser words spoken Take all my smiles and my good qualities But please leave my damage
6.
Head in the Sink (free) 02:47
My head is in the sink My head's in the sink My arm is in the bed My head is in the bed It'll be such a treat To put up these feet I'm drained Completely drained My heart's to the brim My heart's to the brim My hands are in my hair My heart's in my hair Wobbling around Spilling some on the ground I'm full Entirely full
7.
Chopper Head (free) 02:41
8.
Ambergris (free) 03:45
To hard to digest Try a permanent rest You're bubbling up dear Make sure your spleen becomes clear Ambergris Piling up in the middle of the room Catching a whiff Smells just like your favorite perfume Beautiful are the cannibals Who speak while their mouths are full Expressing all over alcohol Erupt emotional pulp Ambergris Piling up in the middle of the room Catching a whiff Smells just like your favorite perfume
9.
I Am Love (free) 02:50
I spit the seeds of a god into the sea And fall back into his arms In my youth I enjoyed this When I drove the divine chariot But I know what I am I am not ashamed I'm not ashamed The warm breath on my neck And the familiar Rhythmic pressure It was nothing new to me now It was business, just business And I know what I am I am not ashamed I'm not ashamed And well now I am murder King Oenomaus is dead by my hand It had little to do with him He was a means I cheated him and I killed him Changed his name to mine But I know what I am I am not ashamed I'm not ashamed
10.
Live From My Bed (free) 01:51
Recording live From my bed Open up All is said A thousand miles From my old room Where they changed the curtains Much too soon Tried to pack up All I could But I couldn't Pack the wood Yet I'm sitting In it now And I'd bet You're wondering how The memory Is in my head I travel there When I'm in my bed Recording live From my bed
11.
My Only Amendment (free) 03:07
Love in the time of the lion Are we ruled by the stars? Or maybe just an alliance Clouds covering, whats to notice? Alone, shining through, Mercury Is part of each of us Rather than notice Where is the moon when you need it? Pulling me out, in again It is my only amendment Fuel has all gone, melancholy Wishes we give Instead of hold funerals for the fallen Rather than notice
12.
Coils of Goldenrod (free) 02:44
Slow down, you move so fast I can hardly catch your smile And I'm high on Spring, I'm sprung All wrapped up like coils of Goldenrod You fill my head Can I fill your bed? I've done this before I can do it again I'm the Springtime fantasy champ I'll crush this one like the one before This is the one before
13.
Dictionary Girl (free) 03:40
I want to find a dictionary girl And never correct any word she says Learn a new word a day for the rest of my life Lay her down in my bed Her red and golden spine Short stories girl, her short glories swirl Moving forward and forward, never gets too stale And when I turn the page she shows herself to me But never shares the details Leaves them up to me Encyclopedia girl is the one I need She can teach me the world from A to Z She'd never lie to me, never lie to me Encyclopedia girl is the one I need
14.
Raw Truth (free) 03:41
I never told such raw truths As I did with you that night I think we learned a lot about me The way I conquer my emotions I told you that I understand you I wouldn't want it to be so easy for you Now that you know this We can start our moving I will continue to conquer my emotions
15.
Ride Off (free) 03:35
Wind meets my face The sun enters my shoulder blades I know there's nowhere to go today Something tells me I should ride off anyways Hair defies gravity Sweat gathers along my sleeve I heard there's no one around to see Something tells me I should ride off anyways Now this is my town Legs, gunshots towards the ground I know there's no answers to be found Something tells me I should ride off anyways
16.
River Rats (free) 02:41
We're just river rats We find smooth stone treasures Just to throw them away In the fanciest ways So fuck you troll You knew this was our home It's our home, troll It's our home, troll It's our home, troll Find your own, troll I've got ivy leg But ivy leg's a small price to pay For some memories That just won't fade away Fuck you troll You knew this was our home It's our home, troll It's our home, troll It's our home, troll Find your own, troll
17.
Its Really Nothing (free) 04:26
i live inside my head though some thoughts spill out every now and then never meant to be read i know you want what's best for me but i do things my way and choose not to introduce you to the corners and the closets and the dark secrets rotting holes in my floor and casting shadows on my impressions so don't you waste your precious time grabbing for things that are beyond your reach never meant to be touched they'll fall and break and crumble underneath the slightest breath shot from the promises prayers and lullabies and curses from the saviors lips this mule will carry its load through the grass and the mud with buckled knees set steady by white tablets and chemistry my calloused brain is trained to ignore or brush away the reoccurring nightmares and the repeated offenses its getting bolder now like some rose bush kept down for twenty years but fed consistently with light from fires water from trenches and now your words have set it free but don't get me wrong i cannot blame you my dear we're social animals and empathy is what sets us apart but so does invention self-recognition and i'm close with the problem and assure you i can come up with creative plots to stunt the growth and to prevent the spread without the help of your collective farming tractor stations and pesticide only works for the ones who aren't immune to it
