I’m waking up, finding silence.
I’m waking up, eyes glued shut.
The monsters’ book is wide open on the couch
known by heart, now
I’m waking up, finding solace.
I’m waking up from a dream.
The winter cold pressed its fingers on my brain,
drove me insane
Well, we can
all make it warmer
Can’t promise we won’t feel blue
but blue is what we’ll find
if we’ll raise our eyes
What’d you say if I took you away
I need a place to call home more than I can say
If you ask me, I wanna change
I’m scared of hail cracking through the windowpane
So pack your bags, I’ll take the spray cans I used on the walls,
I’ll take the memories and the books I’ll read while I’m next to you
I’ll take my grandma’s stories and my tape recorder too,
Your laugh, pens and staff paper, so we’ll write some wicked tunes
We can all make it warmer.
So what do you say if I take you away?
I need a place to call home more than I can say
If you ask me, I wanna change
The hail is pounding on the windows,
but the sound is slowly growing on me
We can all make it warmer.
It’s getting warmer.

Slouch Off

Your manners terrorize me
Got all the kids here in a headlock, won’t get away
I sliced your brain, I found clay
We all saw it! You can’t keep fake-faking!
Your heart is dead like MySpace
It’s clear you blanked all your emotions, cast ‘em away
Your tone is always irate
Got all the kids here in a frenzy, hoping they’ll break.
Your face preoccupies me
I saw you lurching in the barnyard, prancing around
I sliced your heart, I got Maced
You’re so proud: you almost gouged my eyeballs out
Stand like a pylon but you won’t have power
My reaction to your tasks is a task without vowels
Forgot to check your Myspace?
Don’t worry Chet won’t even write to you anyway
Feel free to taunt me, yeah
Feel free to rip my skin to shreds
You hope to see me lose this grin
Would love to give you a taste
of what it feels to lose the will to love and create
You’d surely want to start playing, too bad we
punctured both your eardrums,
smashed your fingers up: faced!
Wait, what’s that? You mad?
What d’you want from me?
See, everything is spinning out of place
(You) won’t have me
I disgorged all your toxic waste
Got all the kids here in a frenzy, but they won’t break
Feel free to taunt me, yeah
your words won’t bite into this soil
You’ll never see me shed a tear
My smile won’t be ablated: won’t lose this grin
It’s something I’ll take to my grave
The hatred you sowed
won’t psych us out
We won’t cow down
The raunch of your acts sets my teeth on edge
(it’s something you’ll take to your grave)
If you reap what you sow,
you should check the clouds
We won’t cow down on you
We’re hidden in snow, breathing rainstorm
(You won’t root here)
We won’t cow down on you
(This soil is barren)
We’ll hit like a storm you’ve no roots to fight
(You will not root here)
(This soil is barren)
The hatred you sowed won’t psych us out
(You will not root here)
The raunch of your acts sets my teeth on edge
(This soil is barren)
If you reap what you sow,
you should check the clouds
(You will not root here)
We’re hidden in snow, breathing rainstorm
(This soil is barren)

10 ways to tell you’re a true 90s kid
Number Two made me laugh pretty hard
Has science gone too far?
Is this image real or fake?
Click to find out.
25 lifehacks you won’t believe
Number 3 legit blew my mind
1 in a million will solve it
this makes me a
genius
Found out it’s hard to look
(it’s hard to look) away
You noticed something changing?
(there’s something wrong)
Ya feel me?
Have I gone too far?
Only gamers will get this LOL
watch this ugly fuck getting laid
find horny girls in your town
’n’ don’t say a word.
Don’t stop caressing your phone
scroll, swipe and tap
you like it, huh?
Science states my IQ’s high
‘cause I like beer and I’m always late
Send. Read. Ignore. Recharge.
This shit doesn’t work: I want it done.
This day just passed
and I forgot the smell of rain.
Found out it’s hard to look
(so hard to look) away
You wonder why it all tastes stale?
(should I click to find out?)
The warmest sun woke me this morning
The rays of light that hit my backbone called me
(I heard voices in the woods)
This happiness I feel,
I found it in the trees
The fields are breathing
10 ways to tell you’re numb as fuck?
You’ll just need one: you have to wake!
And wake!
You feel me? You feel me?
I’m cloaking myself in
the blackest night you’d fear
the sky is listening
Progress is pointless, brother,
if you forget what makes you breathe!
And breathe!
You freed me! You freed me!
Pointless progress?
That’s not logic.

Rabid

There is a rabid dog outside, you see?
Its fur is drab, its eyes are snide,
it seems like it knows what I think and fear
I saw a rabid dog down in the street
It limped and growled, hope it gets winded
before he comes scratching at the door
(the door)
Tried to get away
Tried to get away,
what happened?
Friends are beckoning,
but my soles are locked on the floor
(I’ve) got a rabid dog under my skin
Wonder how long it’s been right here
Now I’m not even sure I saw one anymore
Well
I can’t pretend
I thought it over, a knife in my hand
it adds up:
I left the doors ajar
I’ll wait 'til the morning comes
yeah
hey
I’m a
latecomer, man
I watched the punchline fly over my head
and I swear
I’m actually happy the problem was me,
well, long time no fucking see
Tried to get away
Tried to get away,
what happened?
Friends are beckoning,
still my feet are locked on the floor
Tried to get away,
Wouldn’t wanna admit
I’m callous
but I sifted through my intentions
only to find out
they were not that good
I said a lot of times before
I seldom step outside the door
I probably wouldn’t have spent this
much time with a
spyglass in my palms
I thought I saw that rabid dog
I even heard it pace the porch
now I guess
that I should
have been grateful
my friends didn’t put me down.
Tried to get away
Now I’m glad I stayed
I’m the steering wheel
I know how to heal

Cleansed By Failure
07:13

I’m not used to faltering,
but I scratched my knees
more times than I can count
Stood with both elbows scraped
and I cried, afraid
somebody heard the sound
This shouldn’t bother anyone
We’re weaned on coldness and ache
My limbs are bitten to shreds
but the fangs were poisonless
they only chiseled me
Failure is cleansing
‘cause I scratched my knees
more times than I can count,
these worn out bones still got me this far
I’m afraid that you’ll ask
I’m afraid that you’ll ask
“am I spineless and weak?”
See, somebody said
failure is cleansing
and success is confusing
Restraining tears will suck you dry
You’re trading façade for pain
All that I hear is boys don’t cry,
well you’re right:
they seem to prefer suicide
Failure is cleansing
‘cause I scratched my knees
more times than I can count,
these worn out bones still got me this far
so speak your heart out
My elbows are scraped
but I’m not afraid
somebody else could clearly hear the sound
of my pain
Failure is cleansing
‘cause I scratched my knees
more times than I can count,
these worn out bones still got me this far
I stand with both elbows scraped
but I’m not afraid
somebody hears the sound
of my pain
I’m afraid that you’ll ask
I’m afraid that you’ll ask
“am I spineless and weak?”
Don’t ever forget
failure is cleansing
and success is confusing
Stop restraining yourself
Break the knots of the web
that you’ve spun, and you’ll see
Like in a fade to black
All the pain you held back
is getting smaller.
Failure
is cleansing and
success is confusing
Yeah
it’s cleansing and
success is confusing.
It’s getting warmer.
