How you gonna ask of God what you can’t do How do you assume A distant heart has more room Than anyone right here Lotta people gonna tell you about it Trouble in the way you move Sit on this knee, baby To my soul, it’s all food It took a bullet to the heart to resurrect It took a bullet to the heart It took a bullet to the heart Another round And no shame, no shame, no shame, no shame Mama, how you gonna love me now That we don’t have eternity And the movement of the devil’s blood Flows in me It took a bullet to the heart to resurrect It took a bullet to the heart It took a bullet to the heart Another round And no shame, no shame, no shame, no shame If you can’t bring it up at dinner Don’t bring it ‘round here Easy to say when you get Twice our share a year It took a bullet to the heart to resurrect It took a bullet to the heart It took a bullet to the heart Another round And no shame, no shame, no shame, no shame It took a bullet to the heart to resurrect It took a bullet to the heart It took a bullet to the heart Another round And no shame, no shame, no shame, no shame Another round And no shame, no shame, no shame, no shame

Teenage life was so precarious Simply to talk and breathe, hilarious In an unfunny way To have a body was unfortunate More than one neighborhood queen couldn’t handle it And starved or quickly ended it Although time seemed so long back then Every hour and day itinerant So miserably far from independent Though we tried We tried When I refer to young sorrow You know what I mean The way love lived in tomorrow Nothing or everything Begged, stolen, and borrowed Shortcuts, irrelevance, testing Senses of justice unbroken Privileges depending What is it to be fifteen these days Absorbing all information in ways I never dreamed back in the bad old days Could it be better or worse than knowing nothing (That’s pretty much how we were raised) How do you hold onto things for yourself Everyone’s problems on your mental health Sweet baby can you take care of yourself Ain’t seen parenting since elf on a shelf What a meme When I refer to young sorrow You know what I mean The way love lived in tomorrow Nothing or everything Begged, stolen, and borrowed Shortcuts, irrelevance, testing Senses of justice unbroken Privileges depending Get back Get away from me Stop that Everyone let me be It’s free Let me be free The atmosphere’s crushing Oh, literally

Any day we could be The people that we wanna be But we keep acting like Who we think we are Ooh, devils fighting to get free With no chains, still arguing It's like riding a bike Moving on from things It's just hard to do inside While it's still raining Ooh, turning the tide Was easier in that dream Get quiet and loud Live humble and proud Love yourself and love me Put words back in your mouth Tell me what it's about But don't break anything If I'm wrong you're not right Bitter pills just for spite Some do it every night We're more in sync than that Ooh, angels who don't mean a thing The slate each morning gets cleaned Ooh, like it never happened at all But it did, I recall What a fall Get quiet and loud Live humble and proud Love yourself and love me Put words back in your mouth Tell me what it's about But don't break anything

The room wobbles But I’m straight Is this a thing I know Why’s it strange Cantaloupe countercourse Dead rubies on my tongue Why can’t I talk right now When’d this stop been’ fun Duhn, dud duh duh duh duh… stop… Let me see yer face The room wobbles But I’m straight Is this a thing I know Why’s it strange Cantaloupe countercourse Dead rubies on my tongue Why can’t I talk right now When’d this stop been’ fun Duhn, dud duh duh duh duh… stop… Let me see yer face Face yer see me let

Today I woke up with a broken heart Wishing maybe I was dead Couldn’t get my shit to start Belly ache and full of dread And the warm air in the summer breeze I think I don’t deserve to breathe When the sweetest dreams taste sour In a mouth hell bent On poisoning Why do I sleep through the daytime Why do I drink the night like wine Sister moon, why do you shine so bright? How is this loneliness divine? Yesterday’s shadows all but mine? Cruelest sun, I’m on my knees I must be some kind of ghost How do you, haunting, make the most? Why do I sleep through the daytime Why do I drink the night like wine Sister moon, why do you shine so bright? How is this loneliness divine? Yesterday’s shadows all but mine? Cruelest sun, I’m on my knees

I can’t find purchase It finds me Lost my pockets Burned currency The Good Book commands Treat thyself And so I got big plans Come on, hero Slay … Breaking a mirror That don’t a look a like me Who’s that with money? The fuck is he? Pack up my suitcase Do it up for free Continue to conquer That’s places to be Aw, honey Charge it, charge it Look who’s in charge Breathing gold and hot green air Living so large Aw yea Charge it, charge it Baby, cash for free If I had a every a thing You know I’d still have need Ah, needs, oh oh oh … Aw yea Charge it, charge it Baby, cash for free If I had a every a thing You know I’d still have need Ah, needs, oh oh oh Charges it, charge it Give me the sea to drink Buy me that read book time I need a ghost to think Aw, honey Charge it, charge it Look who’s in charge Breathing gold and hot green air Living so large Witchy …

If I could I would carry it But I’m sinking fast I would give it all back to you Where you float on my past But it isn’t you, is it? It’s just what I thought And what I think of you now Doesn’t lift nothin’ at all When did I become unkind? I’ll never find the button that rewinds Or erases these crimes I only wanted to be human Aren’t I a human being? It wasn’t enough to be human We wanted everything Won’t you come out of the water Before the tide comes in Won’t you come out of the water I don’t know where to begin Oh please come out of the water Teach never taught us to swim P-please comet of the water Nothing will be dry again I only wanted to be human Aren’t I a human being? It isn’t enough to be human We wanted everything If I could I would carry it But I’m sinking fast I would give it all back to you Did any of it come back? Won’t you come out of the water? …

Biting the bullet Getting on a ship Life was always nice somewhere But I’ve had enough of it It’s not fair Not fair Squinting in the sun Red sand beneath my feet True love lost somewhere in the sky Content in the defeat This is my island now And the contract is for years This is my message in a bottle Fix home, don’t come here

Sorry doesn’t mean much when you’re grown It’s a thing that they say when you’re young to teach you Before you’re all on your own It doesn’t matter who done it The outcome is the same The good gets replaced the sad And people spit when they say your name Why do I make everyone unhappy Why am I nothing more than sad Why is it so absurd to try to be happy Why does the trouble took feel bad So bad so bad so bad

Falling down was easier as a kid Regenerating like a wolverine Living outside like the cat did In a decade where disappearing Meant the same thing The cat was off adventuring Maybe some remember times as More idyllic than they were The world was just smaller then When they Were small A mind can only get so big No infinite storage for Gigs Don’t the whole world ask a lot Of these aging kids I bet I would bid The older folks never did When playing it safe just meant Not making choices and Doing what other folks did Now what do you do Seriously, what do you do that I don’t do How do you get offa the ground How do ya keep your brother from drowning Wy ain’t nobody around Our transient generation packed light Can we keep anything that means Anything Maybe that’s why some remember times (remember times) More idyllic in nature The world was just smaller to them (Places closer together) When They (We) Were small A mind can only get so big (A mind…) No infinite storage for Gigs (No…) Don’t the whole world ask a lot (Don’t…) Of these aging kids [simultaneous as opposed to repeating: (Of…) ]

Make yourself take a break Or your work you’ll start to hate Elbow grease it does not take You just have to be awake Pressure pressure pushing down Make it work, you fuckin clown Take your dates all over town Start again until you drown Work work work your life away Til head pits and crotch are gray When your bones are in the ground That’s your eternal weekend, money down

Oh what a glorious day in this center of commerce Where I make my wage In contrast to what I’ll need certainly I won’t make much But I’ll make it with speed Surely once summer is over and we’re back in class There’ll simply be no need With our hours corrupted and future determined By heritage and corporate need Darling, my candy doll, I’m free at six And the cinema presents six screens Of thee finest in dollars spent glossing up the life we live Like fortune’s a perpetual thing And the country’s the country, the finest on earth And the nations look up to you and me In our youthful indulgence soon grown and engulfing the planet Manifest destiny Don’t cry Darling, why do you cry What have you seen Don’t we win everything?

Fix it Oh. Uh! Tear it up, yea, tear it apart B-burn it up, yea, make it art Piss on it Spit on it Shit on it Cum on it Come on, B-b-b-b-b-baaaybay (You gotta break a few eggs, y’know?) Destruction! (Bleed) Destruction! (Bleed) Destruction! (Bleed) Destruction! (Bleed) Destroy! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy! Now fix it

It’s not a vacation When you never come home Not a travelogue When you don’t write nothin’ down And you’re not really searchin’ If you don’t care what you find But I’ll go anyway Just to get out of here Toronto was gray Tokyo such a waste Paris solo is lonely as hell I made my escape Yea, the people and food were mostly great Toronto was gray Tokyo such a waste Paris solo is lonely as hell Probably live in Mexico If I inherited any dough Harmones kept in check By the church I also left In my memory Chihuahua was swell That’s where it should probably dwell And then there were the times I didn’t sweat so much but I Toronto was gray Tokyo such a waste Paris solo is lonely as hell It’s in my DNA From the fambly van days But Paris solo is lonely as hell

What do you do when you’re the problem Cutting the cancer out Singin’ the song from rock bottom Thinkin’ you can get more down And they look at you Like you can just crawl out It’s only one well after all And you can only explain They’ve just heard of your pain And you were over it before they were born To make you so small Last chance We could get out of here I can’t dance But I waltzed for years

When you're turned around 'cause customs doesn't like your fruit / Or told you can't hitchhike on a public avenue / Told they won't allow entry 'cause they don't trust you / Maybe you just don't have a lotta cash on you...

So this is what it’s like to lose Kickin’ out your own feet Shredding all the evidence Left in recycling Where they can find it Never had to fight my fights Some angel always stepped in Feather beds after dinner every night And dreaming away each sin How can I get back again? How to change the score from this end? How do we get round the bend? Don’t fate ever take a day off now and then? Why did I ever think I’d win that fight? First one I picked With someone Who does it every night Looked like the man was falling Down when I walked in Should have known from the girl he’s with He was meant to be dancin’ Take my money Keep me out of jail What’s that they said Something like ‘When it rains, it hails’ I’ll buy a round for everyone who kicked me Ain’t that how you make friends? How can I get back again? How to change the score from this end? How do we get round the bend? Don’t fate ever take a day off now and then? How can I get back again? How to change the score from this end? How do we get round the bend? Don’t fate ever take a day off now and then? How can I get back again? How to change the score from this end? How do we get round the bend? Don’t fate ever take a day off now and then?

If they only knew what this kid would become Spent a life giving up on touch And rebelling by making up rules for the ones Who weren’t intuitive enough But she dances so small while they all talk so tall And reminds me to learn’s not a sin They said time would betray me And boy, did it, baby I do not know where to begin You do surely look handsome in your white suit On this day that you’ll truly be wed When I think how mundane such a love became I’m sure my jealous face becomes red Y’all’ve claimed words they called me as yours And no sensible mind posits not for the best And while sometimes forgetting who laid their bodies down for that I’m still pretty impressed If I did anything to push this world into being Where one can smile oblivious Well I don’t think I did but was there and I lived To see someone I love land that hell of a kiss And pray to the god I just this once believe in That no one who wants to’s allowed To take this back from you You don’t know what I’d do I don’t know what I’d do

Well we procrastinate but we’re looking for something to do Skyline’s pretty as the embers fade to darker hues Last night in town, last chance, and with something to prove Hoping you didn’t get the message I might have left you (‘cause it’s bad) Last night’s a blur, my phone’s got pictures of some avenue All I remember’s finding late night Korean barbecue at like four a.m. Tour diary - page seventeen / The booker is in crisis too Something smells like bleach in the next door factory / She’s gonna have to change venues I’m not getting on the bus ’til I know that it’s true You didn’t come to the show ‘cause someone new found you, oh It isn’t smart to be a stalker in these times one bit / watching’ your socials even if everyone does it Posting’ pictures of my food like I don’t give a shit / you’re out on Staten with some junkie nitwit I’m one to talk, I know, I might have grown’ up to do I’ll do it while I’m moving’ on from this coup Tour diary - eighteen, nineteen / Bus driver’s gettin’ restless too Says all we ever see’s dive bars covered in pee / He’d really like to try the zoo Glen’s heard good things about the zoo Let’s go climb the fence at the zoo All these cities mean nothing with you not in them Revolutions, so boring, you didn’t start them All these thoughts invading psychic country Governing my heartstrings, pulling me back into Fascist history so Unavoidable and concrete

The stakes were just so high We were all so volatile No one wanted to go back to where you came from When we were young Lotta makeshift family Communal meals, passed round books and overalls Ya got around how ya could When we were young Ten years is such a long time Fifteen, twenty, even more Beg, barter, steal to keep self-stationed Usin’ any word except for “poor” Mutilate manipulation Lying to ourselves How it will all feel better someday When we’re still dancin’ the darkness all away It was not a game It was life or death every day If you cannot relate Were you ever a kid anyway Ten years is such a long time Fifteen, twenty, even more Beg, barter, steal to keep self-stationed Usin’ any word except for “poor” Mutilate manipulation Lying to ourselves How it will all feel better someday When we’re on top of the -
