spent so much of my life looking for a purpose a reason to say I'm better than you at everything that's worth that i sense that something's going on so I asked around no one could tell me 'casue they don't know what it is making progress toward a fundamental regress I'm taping every moment of interest for my up and coming talk show I asked them what was going on no one could tell me cause they don't know what it is so I bathe my eyeballs in hydrogen peroxide and I scrub 'em pretty pearly and white and put 'em back down on my nightstand I sense that something's going on so I asked my friends and they don't know what it is

Taboo! 03:24
always a follower, never a leader moving forward with no curve or change in direction and barely thinking constantly prone to the influence of others you can't stamp a concept on the trajectory of your life without an anchor you'll be swept up and carried away feet first fingers trailing right behind you superman in reverse can-can your way to the top plaster that smile on your face yeah you got it, yeah you're close now just a little bit further ha ha, you fell and you'll keep falling yeah you'll keep on falling cause i'll keep on letting you and so will everyone else not a care in the world without an anchor... I'll carry the weight on my shoulders forever I'll ruminate on that moment every day I would never be friends with the family of my killer but these days you gotta do what you can to get by so keep your feet on the ground cause without an anchor you'll be swept up and carried away in reverse

I'm On It 02:45
ask me to finish I will though I'm known to get squeamish I won't this time I feel like a pale skinned femme crisping in the sun I could tear my skin right off nothing you say will stand in my way and no one will keep me from making my way down to the heart of your nova ask me to remember I'll try though I only have eyes for what's trendy I'll try show me your new skinny jeans I'll bet they go well with the sixty dollar sneakers that I bought for you I feel like a weathered flag tethered to a pole I could bring this army down to its knees and nothing they say can stand in my way and no one will keep me from making my way down to the heart of your nova

hey I'm a fish I live in the sea hey I'm a fish I hang out near the quay hey I'm a fish I hide where it's dark and though I am pretty it's impossible to set me apart hey I'm a fish I have eyes on my cheeks God sliced open my face so that I could breathe and I can swim I think in a group I follow, I don't lead I'm just a single troop in the Grand Marine Army no sense of myself no sense that I'm alive but because I'm a fish it's not that hard to survive and I can swim being like me doesn't really have a downside I never wonder what it's like on the outside I'm perfectly content to spend the rest of my life under the sea and I've got everything I need here beneath the sea with me I'm living my life and it doesn't really matter how I die I could choke on plankton choke on crustaceans choke on a mollusk or choke on another fish get buried in sand eaten by crustaceans eaten by a mollusk or eaten by another fish jump out of the water dry out on a dock somewhere shrivel in the sun and get plopped back down again then get eaten by a shark who would spit me back out again and shoot me in pieces back to the bottom of the sea but i don't care because I am a fish I live in the sea I hang out near the quay don't you want to be me?

you missed your one and only fleeting chance to stop hoping for your whore to save you from the dark side master of your own slave reality reeling to expel the darkness from your body brandish this katana in the face of your fears take this wrecking ball and swing it at the knees of your loneliness I can't talk cause you're so gorgeous and it makes me rubbery but i'll never stop asking questions about the meaningless points of my own existence all this torture at the border puts the chim in my anger suit and no one's ever been the same after five straight months of questioning so cut the crap and cut my tendons dice and poach them tenderly and if my heart makes it to monday put it on a plate to eat put it on a plate to eat put it on a plate to eat put my heart on a plate to eat put it on a plate to eat take a sip of magick potion it's just medication designed to bring you inner peace and toxified for cultivation minty minute microcosm invokes an old brigade making too much movement will dilute the flavor in it lie down on this sacred bridge and place yourself right prone to me please avoid craning your neck when you sing your gentle drone to me there's no confusion some prostration no bacterial entomotes angle yourself in such a way that i can slide right in and out

we thought of all the ways our lives could be counted for the ways our chips could fall flung our thoughts to the outer bounds of the universe now I can only see you from my black hole I melt with the scarabs of the ancient towns and waltz with the careless morning summertimes alone in my black hole there's nothing that I could not find I rock with the surfaces of every planet's oceans found out there's really nothing new under the sun art is a feeling nonexistence is its own kind of feeling I have all kinds of feelings floating in my black hole they're my art, and damn I'm good at having them but I'm alone in my black hole all alone with my art I never thought this was the way my life would be never thought this was the way my chips would fall alone in my black hole self-contained with my thoughts and ancient artifacts alone in my black hole waiting for a straggler like me to fall through the cracks and keep me company
