I stood up for you, I bore the brunt for us, I could find something new but think of the lives that we’d crush Some days I’m like “fuck it” I grab the liquor and go ill, but this well’s been poisoned; that Bel Biv Devoe feele My blood’s boiling like oatmeal, the nihilism is so real, can’t see the trees for the forest, a lost bunch of explorers Ernest Shackleton stuck in the ice, but we’re more like the Donners, the heart’s a pointless device, let’s admit that we’re goners We landed on the moon and never went back, rocks and goddamn air-fueled jetpacks There’s nothing left to see here, there’s nothing left, let me be clear I put in time in the Gulag, just a Pope in a durag, I’ve been a pig dressed in gold leaf, a white shark with gold teeth I’ve been a prince, been a pauper, time repeats Cyndi Lauper, all I have to offer are cobwebs in my coffers I’ve been a filth-ridden rat king, I’ve been fingers in bat wings, still a colossal fossil, the judge and jury of awful I’ve been songs on transistors, I’ve been blood I’ve been blisters, I’ve been tornadoes and twisters, I see her face and I miss her We landed on the moon and never went back, rocks and goddamn air-fueled jetpacks There’s nothing left to see here, there’s nothing left, let me be clear I’ve been Buzz fucking Aldrin, I drank from the cauldron, been the last to go home and stayed up til it’s all gone I’ve been a filth-ridden rat king, I’ve been fingers in bat wings, still a colossal fossil, the judge and jury of awful I’ve been songs on transistors, I’ve been blood I’ve been blisters, I’ve been tornadoes and twisters, I see her face and I miss her Ernest Shackleton stuck in the ice, but we’re more like the Donners, the heart’s a pointless device, let’s admit that we’re goners We landed on the moon and never went back, rocks and goddamn air-fueled jetpacks There’s nothing left to see here, there’s nothing left, let me be clear

Kill Someone 03:23
It’s coming up on murder season and I’m like “who the hell really needs a valid reason?’ I mean not literally I just need a place to like, shave off some misery I won’t do it and it’s clear but there’s a lot of motherfuckers that need to disappear It’s just what the doctor ordered, get ‘em sorted and send them straight to mortal coil, deported That’s the way it’s gotta be and we might get efficient and start dropping by threes The Cadillac of caviars, the champagne of Cadillacs, the good days have disappeared, the nights of pure black are back And you used to be so polished until that piece of shit came along and ruined you in college And people vary for what they’re worth and it’s scary right at first but leave them buried in the dirt And sure it sounds insane but it’s easy to explain, most people are a drain So who would you dispose of and leave their family mourning over cheap bouquets of rosebuds? I can think of baker’s dozens, vacant husbands and folks that manipulate through loving We’re talking blunt force trauma or choking some bastard out until he’s screaming for his mama I know we’ve all considered it but to publicly confess man, you’d have to be an idiot Just get drunk on some rye, grab a shovel and rope and fill the trunk full of lye Then drive to woods, dig a real lazy hole, have a smoke and you’re good You know the story’s all glory, you’re getting older, shit is colder you don’t even feel sorry The Cadillac of caviars, the champagne of Cadillacs, the good days have disappeared, the nights of pure black are back And you used to be so polished until that piece of shit came along and ruined you in college It’s coming up on murder season and I’m like “who the hell really needs a valid reason?’ I mean not literally I just need a place to like, shave off some misery I won’t do it and it’s clear but there’s a lot of motherfuckers that need to disappear It’s just what the doctor ordered, get ‘em sorted and send them straight to mortal coil, deported And people vary for what they’re worth and it’s scary right at first but leave them buried in the dirt And sure it sounds insane but it’s easy to explain, most people are a drain So who would you dispose of and leave their family mourning over cheap bouquets of rosebuds? And you used to be so polished until that piece of shit came along and ruined you in college

How to lose it all, with no recompense and How to lose it all,  abandon common sense and How to lose it all, make levity dense and It all ends soon and we're just lead balloons How to lose it all In a blinking eye and How to lose it all, is our rally cry and How to lose it all just stay fucking high and Drink til you die with a refusal to try but now Don't die, time's in short supply, I drowned in seas of rye, I left you high and dry and cryin’ keep on tryin’ Don't die, time's in short supply, I drowned in seas of rye, I left you high and dry and cryin’ keep on tryin’ Now I'm losing you, dying on the wrong hill Now I'm losing you , I won't survive these songs will Now I'm losing you, lobotomized with long drills Drilling a hole in your thoughts and your soul and now Now I'm losing you, like the will to live and Now I'm losing you, like you're mine to give up Now I'm losing you, paper ships in rivers Oh my poor liver's been shaved to a sliver but Don't die, time's in short supply, I drowned in seas of rye, I left you high and dry and cryin’ keep on tryin’ so Don't die, time's in short supply, I drowned in seas of rye, I left you high and dry and cryin’ keep on tryin’
