when you wake up from your dream from your puzzles and devils and industry will you come to find another way to be or will you stumble home and point your gun at me what could ever undo all this injury there's no table, no seat no history and still you struggle to chase respectability but when your networks melt and it's just you and me CHORUS: into your pride on this ride if i could live to see the sun in your eyes in your fortress on your screens a world of misery could hope for freedom or love or solidarity but all those triumphs and pleasures you could never see only more failed states and dead malls and cults of me CHORUS

the street clears out it's six pm across the empty field where you lost your mind and then your mom forgot to pick you up from school again but you'll come home a floating head ten thousand assholes roam with giant cars with stars and bars eviscerating children always chasing brand new phantoms and think they live on god's land but all they know is how to scam CHORUS: you want me to just lay down and take whatever's thrown at me till i drown because that's what you're supposed to do in this town an endless cavalcade of pointless rules and arbitrary barriers still no one seems to give a shit can't ever tell what's real and what is fake on cookie cutter properties that topple in the slightest wind BRIDGE: he looks to you with hollow eyes nails and screws jab your thighs a gaping wound that you all left there can't see the killers right in front of you can't ever tell what you're supposed to do and you're lost without a without a without a without a clue CHORUS: you want me to just lay down and take whatever's thrown at me till i drown because that's what you're supposed to do in this town (voice) what are you doing kids? body found it's all some big joke seeds of your destruction were all planted inside your mind you just didn't know it and now there's nothing left to do about it just drink the poison it starts to rain then starts to hail in an empty park your friends are all gone your blood will boil your heart explodes and there's no one there to pick you up from school again

scroll the screen down to the life of the grotesque and the hidden fanart from the glow on your desk another world where you are so cool far from the one you know from school so leave the world behind the galaxies align to magic girls with giant tits but no one gives a shit holding on for your real life that's coming any day but if fortune smiles upon us then why're you still not okay CHORUS: and most of you remember your old forgotten role and when you threw away and lost it down a hole can't wait to spin those yarns until the check comes due but they stopped tuning in when your mind all came unglued catching another ban for spamming slurs again all your circuits short as you sink deeper and deeper down cuz you can see all those threads gaping assholes and blown off heads but if conventions could release us from all the pain we bring then your soul could be awoken and maybe we would sing CHORUS: that i don't have to be here but there's nowhere else to go and it's all, to you: a joke that no one needs to know still stuck inside this dead mall we let the blood cut thru our skin and set the world on fire while no one's listening in and why do we admire? the ones who hate us most we scratch and claw for love and make another post

go fuck yourself think you're always so smart hope all those uppers blow a hole into your heart all those gods you hold so dear can't wait for you to disappear gotta find more victims to sustain your fantasy it's always someone else's problem until the world ends go fuck yourself and your sweaty dream world too you've bought your way into heaven but your kids won't speak to you tweaking in your conference chair like a spinning top off your axis you rape the universe's treasures and turn and burn and when you've opened every door just you find you still need more what a terrible sickness that they cry comes from the west even when everyone around them is picking their pocket oh but on which day do i get a say and how long do i have to watch you scream and moan well fuck you dear there's no one here no lights to come up when no one's home the sky is on fire the roads are cracked and broken and everyone's in the dirt doubled over choking and the arms of the state all unfurl and the biggest losers in the world show up at your door cuz they got a file on you never a second thought that there are better things to do to do to do to do to do at your door at your door at your door at your door go fuck yourself

on a stage where i could know you very well another timeline where life wasn't such a hell you could see me through a haze of codes and clues never to find that your resentment just grew and grew (other part) you set the bomb off and then disappear so soon no reflections when you can't see two feet in front of you (back to first part) still i could use you when it's time to leave this room the car is running and not a moment too soon (change part to 6/8) all those roads i could never take sending sparks i could not awake in my room on a blank cassette oh, always want what you could never get what you could never get (back to first part) in a world where McDonald's and Drake are both the same thing and they wheel you out again to toe the line for what you could never comprehend 'cuz you can't see that it's all built on shaky land and now your time has come to the end and there's no way out my friend oh, oh, oh broken beds shrunken heads it's all been said

your doorway stands so tall and diamonds line your walls but you're trapped in these dark halls you're just a little glass doll a cosmic fairytale built from your husband's war machines somewhere little boys and girls are blown to smithereens all these white shoes and white walls this white dress is for you frozen in silence this white dress is for you your golden parachute ruptures in the breeze a billion pieces of you scattered across the galaxy and they say they say they never wanted you wanted you ooohooohohhooh etc etc this white dress is for you white dress for you what did you'd think would happen to you when he sold you for nothing floating down river white dress white dress your inheritance crumbles to dust your followers cry out in disgust and they say they say they never wanted you wanted you ooohooohohhooh etc etc out on the threshold back into the portal along the balcony onto the nowhere zone you'll find no answer here maybe in the next life

something's stirring in this house today but all those drugs won't (couldn't) clear the way and don't look now but i can see it all bridges crumble and towers fall clues are scrawled all over the walls and in the stalls but don't you worry for your career your salvation is almost near drag your gear 'cross the frontier and have a beer! as the crowd all cheers and the hollow men in empty rooms just felt the call to set into motion tiny weapons that invade your brain but it's so gentle, and you feel so sane but there's no time to unwind the thread with all those people calling for your head couldn't keep them fed so the streets turn red as the movement spreads now you have fled and life is all backwards again out in the dark my friend what can you keep for your brand when the sand slips thru your hands as the sand slips thru your hands as the sand slips thru your hands your real brother just lost his head your real sister is sick in bed your real mother disappeared last week your real father calls everyone a freak but it's not like you it's not like you'll notice it's not like you it's not like you notice it's not like you it's not like you notice these things

1. the moon rises over the national mall a big-dicked nothingness comes from out of the darkness the buildings are all empty and there's no one on the street everyone's gone home hell is freezing over the few protestors outside the white house in lawn chairs covered in heavy blankets drift peacefully to sleep in the cold Sunday night the war comes home from Jamestown to Jonestown it's free real estate it's no limit hold 'em it's a terrible night for a curse 2. 99 comedy Central in a dark room Friday night you’re standing staring at the steetlamp outside the window it is buzzing faintly it is late nobody's on the street you feel a sinking inside your chest a giant weight pushes you deeper and deeper down and no one is there you are not here, but you don't know where you are wherever you are, you are never there you are always somewhere else it's not clear if that ever really goes away or you just forget about it for awhile wherever you are life continues on snow falls on the parking lot trees huddle and clouds part radio towers blink and bridges burn people shift locations, walk in place turn around, clip through walls fall through the ground spin backwards and forwards shoot somewhere far off into the distance the world is too loud it wants to know too much bodies unfold and undo and redo everyone despawns becomes a non person and respawns wanders the countryside finding nothing there works seventeen times more works for eighteen times less opens up all the cabinets and undoes and redoes and undoes and redoes and undoes and redoes and undoes and redoes their clothes in the dryer a smell of cat shit lingers they got off work today people change it’s all they can do and you're still here but your cells have all replaced themselves and you receive a call before you can wake up and write down the message and the telephone melts in your hand 3. when the dream fades when Walt Disney loudly declares for anyone who will listen that they aren't white anymore as John Wayne places his hat over his heart cocks his gun and prepares to open fire when the sun comes up over the horizon when the kids are no longer in their beds when the caravan arrives in the night and we live in a world of mazes and monsters and we must spend another night in nowhere land come back before it dawns on the other settlers to win by moving in no one can take them this early on head them at the pass when we reach the end of the trail all the corpses will litter the ground face up split heads people strung up like hogs there isn't a choice so just lie down and pretend to like it and tie a stake through all your limbs rotate and roast yourself 4. sorry i could never love you i’ve got a heart of darkness there's a party in my head and no one's invited i'll be a wolf among wolves i’ll be a robot by the river i’ll be gone, but not forever but i'll be two steps on the water and you collapse just like in that movie The Double Life of… you know that movie? just like that

off of the concrete into the smoke dreaming for lost souls to come awoke but you look to no one on your way home riding up on the edge of the known then you'll see me out there then you'll know as you fly on past billionaires row through the trash and piss that soaks the snow then you'll see then you'll know yeah you'll know but there is no time to stay indisposed or ponder what futures will be foreclosed it's late in the world the foundation, it shakes and so you step outside and make some new mistakes hiding out in the clouds the universe calls out as the bus pulls in oohh then you'll know the revolution's here and the lights come up and it's time to go
