Track Name: Kung Fu Action Gripe
Just try to discern what all the
Christmas themed cups by your
Bedside could possibly mean about your process of thought
They hold far fewer ice cubes than the mugs
Gathering dust in the cupboard by the Icey-Hot patches
And the batches of thermometers
Or flocks of thermometers
To the north of the birthday cake candles
That I bought, back when I thought
Birthday cakes meant growing up, and...

I've been masturbating far more frequently
I've been joining dating websites recently
I could use a patient, sturdy boned, level headed man
To care for a girl like me
Put my lips on anything baby
Puking pineapple party drinks lately
I've talked nearly almost everyone in my life
Into wanting to poison me.

It's just a matter of
Fucking time until I develop nasiolabial lines
Indicating the first signs
Of being too old to illegally posses porn or cigarettes
A credit card, a mickey of rum or place bets and
No amount of chocolate milk
Or toads as pets
No sledding and no sunny day lemon-aid booth
Will restore my wasted youth.

I've been masturbating far more frequently
I've been joining dating websites recently
I could use a patient, sturdy boned, level headed man
To care for a girl like me
Put my lips on anything baby
Puking pineapple party drinks lately
I've talked nearly almost everyone in my life
Into wanting to poison me.
Track Name: The Tender Surrender
I don't know
Maybe
I can't see what you see in me
I don't know
Marky
You harpy
Stand away from me

I've got a real problem
Acting cool
Asserting social dominance in cheap turquoise shoes
I've got a real problem
Trusting you
Because I know when I'm drunk I know just what you'll try and do

Love me, hold me

I know, I know, I know, I know it's hard to see a girl like me
You fucking know, you fucking know I'm fucking lying through my teeth
Yeah, I've got some extra veins, I've got some extra nerves
I'm hoping one day acting cool will make me feel self assured
I know, I know, I know, I know it's hard to see a girl like me
You fucking know, you fucking know I'm fucking lying through my teeth
She's got your dopamine in her brain, she'll never be the same
I know I'm acting most tragic when I'm passing on the blame

I don't know
Maybe
I can't see what you see in me
I don't know
Marky
You harpy
Stand away from me

I've got a real problem
Ahhhh...
I've got a real problem
Trusting you
Because I know when you aim, I know just where you're going to shoot

Hold me, love me

I know, I know, I know, I know it's hard to see a girl like me
You fucking know, you fucking know I'm fucking lying through my teeth
Yeah, I've got some extra veins, I've got some extra nerves
I'm hoping one day acting cool will make me feel self assured
I know, I know, I know, I know it's hard to see a girl like me
You fucking know, you fucking know I'm fucking lying through my teeth
She's got your dopamine in her brain, she'll never be the same
I know I'm acting most tragic when I'm passing on the blame

Don't you dare remember me as an instant message R.I.P.
Track Name: Suntanned Stepbrother
Whatever. Atlanta, United States of America

Did you know that there's holes in the sky, in the Constellation Andromeda
And the Horsehead Nebula? Gigantic black oceans of nothingness.

Everyone wants to be a sister to me, we get along so easily.
Even when I act provocatively on purpose to test your loyalty.

In my head, I seem unfeminine, weird and repetitive
Filled to the gills with anti-androgens and pathogens
There I go, sleeping through math again.
In my head, I'm self-obsessed
Always planning for my biopic, a smokey ghost haunting my chest
As you might expect, my parents are reasonably unimpressed.

When life gives you your loved one's bones make bone-aid
Did you know that Madam Curie's name is an anagram for 'radium came'?

This is how I see it, I could
Sit around blaming myself
for my own mistakes or I could
Lay in bed and get baked.
Who knows what decision I'll make, literally, like
My life is a blank, slate, a white piece of paper
And all I want to do is light it on fire.
Whatever (x a bunch)

When life gives you your loved one's bones make bone-aid
Did you know that Madam Curie's name is an anagram for 'radium came'?

I've been drowning in this river
For as long as I can remember
The undertow keeps getting stronger
But I'm happier than ever.
Track Name: The Incredible Rumbly Grumbly of my Insecurity
If they come looking for hellfire, I've got it
If I could have died by now, I'd be rotting
Always gotta keep my hands in my pockets
They're all burned up from sticking shit in electrical sockets

How do you keep the weight off?
People always ask the stupidest shit
How do you keep the weight off?
How about I don't want to talk about it?

Fuck it, I cast bad vibes on you
Do you know how it feels when the sun won't shine on you? I do.
I'll say it again
I've said it before

Raise your hands to your breast and do your best to expect death

If they come looking for hellfire, I've got it
Up on my red rotten mountain of rust
Always gotta keep my hands in my pockets
Because I've got a touch that makes mens souls erupt

How do you keep the weight off?
People always ask the stupidest shit
How do you keep the weight off?
How about I don't want to talk about it?

Fuck it, I cast bad vibes on you
Do you know how it feels when the sun won't shine on you? I do.
I'll say it again
I've said it before

But no, I'm not the hooded thing
That stole the eyes of Laurence King
But no, I'm not the hungry one
The dark of space that will consume the sun
