It's not my fault that you grew to hate it
Like living in a crowded room
Come and take the backstop off of me again
Please god, there's nothing seen and nothing in the things you do
Oh yea
Oh no
Little bit of greed makes all the difference
Take a bit and you'll take me
Guess I'm just the key to all your suffering
I can't take what I've been; that I'm nothing without you
In Carolina
It's what you're under
Like it's always been
It saves me from seeing a ghost in my room
And soon
Guess that we can both get on a program
Sit around and watch the news
And know that all the people out on Alcatraz
All live in a fantasy, where they're the only ones in tune - yeah
In Carolina
It's what you're under
Like it's always been
It saves me from seeing a ghost in my room
And soon

Good Intentions

Now what you did I can't allow
You're sharp on the picture, hear me out
I hate who I am and what you've been
I made up the most of whatever I feel
And I know it was the most you've seen at once
Got let go on the in-between, untouched
But you know that you're the best, I mean it
I mean it
And what's the point of getting out
Lay low in the sofa, hear me out
Two ways to remember what we're in
Complain or to hope for a better idea
And I know it was the most you've seen at once
Got let go on the in-between, untouched
But you know that you're the best, I mean it
I mean it
This life that I've been cast, plays like a funeral
The feel I'm playing back, fits like a suit you know
And all I've ever wanted is coming back again, just like your mother said
To tell the truth I never
To tell the truth I never
Can I get another one
This life that I've been cast

Hey Karina
I can't believe that you waited all alone
I know that you're leaving
But I can't keep you staying for too long, ya know
Cause I'm getting right up in your DNA, it shows
I'm the only one getting your China on the floor
I've been tired out
I hate the feeling
Like putting you on a plane to Arkansas
I'm not what you needed
Just a caked-on mess of a woman I don't know, hello
Cause I'm getting right up in your DNA, it shows
I'm the only one getting your China on the floor
Cause I'm getting right up in your DNA, it shows
I'm the only one getting your China on the floor
I've been tired out

Second Kind

Outside, holier reject
Stuck living one more time
Too tame, I don't believe it
Tricking the rapture, a seminal line
Bad blood, tearing a vein out
Set up with a fit like mine
Dead last, terrible season
Catching a quick one before I die
I'm the Second Kind
Too tame, I don't believe it
Guess it gets better, I won't bite
So bad, I think you need it
Gotta sit pretty, catch on fire
I'm back, up in your nature
Stick with it, a natural sign
God damn, heavy to breathing
Catching a quick one before I die
I'm the Second Kind
Get back, toe on the line now
Fuck living on a catered lie
I'll take you down with a reason
Switching the scripture to take your life
I'm the Second Kind

I've been looking for something else
Somewhere different where I won't die in doubt, like you
I can be, I-I-can be so good, my best
Paint a picture of happiness
Shore up, get clean
I can see, I can see
I can't take you
I can't take you
I can't take you
I cannot take ya, it's me no matter what
Hanging on by a fingernail
Gripping onto an edge of glass and stone, hi-low
Letting go for less and less, I know, it's just
I don't want you to carry us
It's so simple
Getting free, getting free
I can't take you
I can't' take you
I can't take you
I cannot take ya, it's me no matter what
I'm slipping under
And I fall back
I fall back
Looking upon - on the answer
I can't help ya
And I fall back
I fall back
Looking apart on the edge

Caution, I'm bad at choosing sides
But don't you wanna be here? Am I not what you like
Cause I'm obsessed now, emotionally poor
Just a gentle politick fit for teeth right on the bone
Maybe when you're home
But it comes back this way like you want
It's a nervous thing to say, so don't talk
I want what you're trying to say, so we can get okay
A hard time running away, am I crueler
Stop it, it's all in how you sigh
And take the thought of leaving, the green on simple life
But it's a mess now, I'm sorry that you're cold
An overwhelming part of me that consumes everything you own
Feeding all alone
But it comes back this way like you want
It's a nervous thing to say, so don't talk
I want what you're trying to say, so we can get okay
A hard time running away, am I crueler
Caution
Caution
Caution
And as I struggle to find the meaning in words
Softly killing your breathless emotion
Getting torn in the heat of what you say
No more will I save, no more will I fake
For what a conscious lie is, a memory becomes
Distorting rhythms in a place undone
For what a conscious lie is, a memory becomes
Distorting rhythms in a place undone

Garden State

Can't take it, now you gotta be mine
Catching habits like it's all of the damn time
Run my fingers all up in your hair
Black paint on your fingernails, I'm scared
Can't take it now you gotta be mine
Today I think I got it on time
Little trouble cause you're always on my mind
Figured out just what you wanna hear
Feeling light when you're drying off your hair
Today I think I got it on time
I don't wanna miss it cause you make me feel something new
I love you like a cannibal, eating little pieces out of you
I'll hold you to nothing and watch you shine
A way that I can't be
You're in my mind, all the time
To live in a garden state, oh yea
I'm naked in a topical mind
Can't think when you're hanging on the line
Like I'm the person that you wanna share
With life, like I'm keeping all things fair
Just maybe I can pull it off fine
I don't wanna miss it cause you make me feel something new
I love you like a cannibal, eating little pieces out of you
I'll hold you to nothing and watch you shine
A way that I can't be
You're in my mind, all the time
To live in a garden state, oh yea

Try to cover up a conversation
Like I'm happy and there's nothing on my mind
Giving in to a lower nature
Get ahead on all the people I can find, but I can't take it
I'm always falling behind
I'll never come back now
Getting you under, licking the salt right off my mouth
I know I can change but how
I don't remember, telling you badly to get out
I'll never come back
I'm just afraid of the bottom falling out
Sentimental and I'm overthinking
Clock ticking on a pattern I don't like
Pulling up into a reservation
Now I'm stuck on the feelings I can't right, and I won't make it
I'm always falling behind
I'll never come back now
Getting you under, licking the salt right off my mouth
I know I can change but how
I don't remember, telling you badly to get out
I'll never come back
I'll never come back now
I'll never come back now
I'll never come back now
I'll never come back now
Getting you under, licking the salt right off my mouth
I know I can change, but how
I don't remember, telling you badly to get out
I'll never come back now

Evil Side
03:57

How you gonna miss it
How you gonna spit on the dog
I think I got you pissed
It's a gift I keep passing along
It's just a game for me
You got an evil side
It's all the same, I see
You got an evil side
How you gonna stay alive
And move
I know you like pity
Always in the back of your mind
Who you gonna fit
Is it me? Or did I get you behind
It's just a game for me
You got an evil side
It's all the same, I see
You got an evil side
How you gonna stay alive
And move
I kinda don't like you – so cruel
I get around, don't you
Maybe my luck will change
Getting around like I can't take you all that serious
Give up on better days
Cause what you think about is failing you on the minimum
It's okay, don't you want to come back
I wanna feel the pain
Sitting around, but I don't have enough to tie it in
I love you anyway
Why don't you call? Why don't you take me off the filament
It's okay, don't you want to come back

Fuck up an 80s song
Like I knew you would
I'll give you what you want
But I gotta be careful of you
I got an aspirator
So I can breathe deep down in my lungs
Oh won't you move over? Dave Grohl, you're acting so conceded
Like you're entitled to Foo
Oh don't you know
It's just the more you fall, the more I'm back on the move
You said it all
And now they're looking at you
Ahh getting under
That's all, I got the hunger too
Tear down the monolithic structure
It's about that time for the part of the song
Where I bring you up high, and then back down low
So, please, buy me a t-shirt too
Nostalgic Now and Laters
But you don't like it like you should
I make you move better, you know I got a higher feeling
I'll do you better and soon
Survive the emulator
I can tell you're new
And watch a hooker sing your name, and paying up the ceiling
It's what they wanted from you
Don't trust a parasitic culture
And now that the show's all done
And I've run fresh out of words
I hope that you love both me and my neighbor
And cut me out a feeling too
