I took a drink felt like I kept the dream alive I thought I'd blossom but I think I'll just survive those are the happy thoughts that laugh at self-expression that is the prankster mad libbing all of the lessons the perils of oz i love this place it make us die to celebrate looking at beauty stupid in our duty freedom did not pan out like on TV poetry didn't line up with destiny find the thing you love and let it kill you chosen family no more enemies i took a smoke felt like I kept the dream alive I'm still inside, haha but now I question why

Eastern Premises 04:23

a little message a little message delivered slowly inside you a little message a little message delivered slowly inside you forget the lies forget the day forget the ocean forget the news forget the dirt forget the fear die this one time die this one time and laugh a thousand tiny deaths take off your soul take off your soul and wear your hatred like a crown forget the lies forget the past forget the planet forget your love forget your god forget consequence run to the sweet, forgiving embrace of death dive into the heart of the blossom take that pleasure inside take hypocrisy's ride lusting just for that cleansing nirvana

No Illusions 04:34
lyrics

no illusions going in no illusions of return feel that I've been left alone to learn orbiting the promised land screaming voicelessly into golden doorways made of hope laughing monuments to you circle the sky and expect the vultures my eyes long to see the life but it's far too far across the fear help me now, I've learned enough flip that switch, I've felt enough feel that I've been lost outside of love want a wall to press my back take away the choice I lack don't make me, don't make me orbiting the promised land falling back into the sky crashing on the rocks, the land that we've been waiting for

The Dance 04:08
lyrics

You and I and many seasons play the game like simpletons years and centuries of reasons not to look back, feel, or see The old emotions purify The old emotions clarify The old emotions terrify me The ghost dances with me elegant in scarified skin so simple in complexity the joke is a rich tapestry blending in single harmony a labyrinth of thought is my companion, is my drug now an ancient, dry laugh speaks of many seasons leaf after leaf until death is the finished book so savor this and hold it fast because you are here and time is there elegant in scarified skin so simple in complexity the joke is a rich tapestry blending in single harmony a labyrinth of thought is my companion, is my drug now

i don't claim to know you any better than i do but you are wonderful to these eyes i don't need possession of a single part of you i just love to watch you as you fly i don't want to feel myself i don't want to be myself i don't want to free myself i don't want to see neurons in a line like lemmings line the cliffs of our unconscious unfulfilled childhood revenge we need to fight we play our love like soldiers toy soldiers who was at war who are we now do we embrace the scars and love what's broken don't know you better than i think i do don't need to own a single part of you just love to see you fly

there's no tomorrow there's no tomorrow just a carbon copy nightmare of today mother always told me don't waste a drop that's on that shelf but nobody wants this poison I guess i'll drink it myself you think it's special the endless journey and then with clear vision you awake the soul comes with the serpent wrapped around the apple tree we are beautifully imperfect we're in hell but we are free you think it's special the place that love lives then with horror and clear vision you awake blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah i tell it to the sky and i move on mother always told me don't waste a drop that's up in that shelf but nobody wants this poison I guess i'll drink it myself blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah i tell it to the sky and i am gone blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah i'll tell it to the sky someday again

Cutout 04:30
lyrics
buy track
You want to entertain the notion. You want to cut out all the pain. You want to kill that stray emotion. You will not hear a word like vain... about you. You want doglike devotion in you lovers, in your friends. You see endless darkened oceans filling up with angst from posers begging at your feet. Dotted lines are your corona. Cigarette smoke, your mystique. Just as long as you are beautiful, You can strap it on and call yourself a freak.

goodbye to the thin white duke how brave are we without you? never ask permission just give birth to vision goodbye to the thin white duke do we sparkle without you? you gave us permission you gave us a reason anointed in glitter, how do we survive? - synth break! - tapped into the universe gave the blessing and the curse mirrors see us through feeling brave and true in drag and in face and stark naked on that stage goodbye to the thin white duke we're the children without you anointed in glitter, how can we survive? be a great bullshitter to stay alive
