Shopping Malls

Cities turned
Into shopping malls
Nothing to do here but dissolve
Work your way through a dead end job
Bottle up your every feeling so that you can keep that shit
Water your plants inside a desert
You know that tree shouldn’t grow here
Manufacture happiness
Put a lid on that shit and sell it
Entertainment’s a good distraction
What the fuck else do we have to do?
Everybodies saying nothing
That’s alright cause I am too
Cities turned
Into shopping malls
Nothing to do here but dissolve
Work your way through a dead end job
Bottle up your every feeling so that you can keep that shit
There’s nothing left to do
There’s nothing left to feel
What’s the point of this
If we don’t even like it
You’re not supposed to ask
You’re not supposed to know
Perhaps it’s the future
Hell I don’t really know
I don’t want to waste my life
Ending it prematurely
So I just gotta stick with it
Even if it saddens me
Only got one shot at this
Might as well live it out
Either way it won’t feel
Wasted when I’m gone
Reality matters when you’re inside of it
I just gotta stick through it
Hang out, try not to quit
And let the time pass

Fly Song (2)
01:41
|
|||
flies run into mirrors, and so does everyone else
chasing things they think are real
happiness is a fairy tail
I don't want to be a downer
but that's all ever seem to be
I don't want to be a loner
but how could anyone really love me
I thought about dying last night
I thought about how hard it would be
I thought about thinking it over
I thought about jumping
I thought about not existing
but I can't do that, cause I think people care
at least enough to listen
to my complaints, roll another joint
cause this is how I cope
I am a fly, trapped inside a lightbulb
the heat's beating down on my back
and I can't take it
but I can't leave because I'm trapped
I'm always trapped
screaming, hurting, suffering, a slow death
and now my wings are burning
and so is my brain
so now all that think of
is an escape

Fucking up places I have before
this feel feels familiar
Feel disconnect, my body my head
Starting to pick on myself again
I'm used to my landscape, I'm used to the world
ride the same damn bike ride
Everything bores me, there's too much the same
World views won't change if I don't change
Loops of self sabotage and self destruction
World where good things don’t even mean nothing
Change is apparent but it never feels good
Do we convince ourselves it’s for the better?
Wants’ll fluctuate as I try to breed meaning
Discontent with everywhere lacks purpose
And sadly my brain is of capitalism
Were programmed for greed by a greedy system
But there’s a solution
To these contradictions
We can defeat it
With systemic change
Need Mao Tse-Tung’s
Communism
Need Mao Tse-Tung’s
Communism
American revolution is a fever dream, change can’t happen in a week
Change can’t come from want, no, only need, the proletariat will destroy the bourgeoisie
We aren’t proletarian because we directly benefit off the backs of billions
Betray your own class and use the riches you were given to help destroy the real villains
When the 3rd world revolutionizes, it’ll all fall
But only if it happens before they kill us all
imperialism has corrupted this blue ball
an impending heat wave, oh this menace is too tall
We’ll probably all die and that really sucks
But what can we do? We're running low on luck
Then I guess the only rational solution is to party till we die

How does it feel to be stuck in a cage
one cleverly disguised as a home
How does it feel to know you'll never leave
are you even capable of feeling lonely
Do you even crave to be let outside
or are you too goddamn scared that you'll die
I'm not quite sure if you want out of this house
I've never even seen you kill a single mouse
You’re a housecat, doomed to be
You never learned how to fight
Stuck inside a luxurious shell
We promise to treat you right
Do you use us or do we use you
Are we slaves or are we rulers
Does it ever really get boring
Seeing the same 3 people
Are you happy with your life?
Do you have a big enough brain to comprehend it?
I know you’re not fully sentient,
But how primal exactly is your thinking?
If you truly can’t comprehend
It really proves we torture ourselves
We overthink everything
Live’s point is to just eat and fuck
Maybe we’re the ones that are trapped
Maybe we’re the ones that trapped ourselves
We turn on each other like animals
Oh what the hell

went down to the hospital
take this baby out from inside of me
thought I was going crazy but I didn't think this soon
I just saw a cat in the moon
medications make me feel great
or at least a little less insane
went down to the hospital
take this baby out from inside of me
thought I was going crazy but I didn't think this soon
I just saw a cat in the moon
medications make me feel great
or at least a little less insane
went down to the hospital
take this baby out from inside of me
thought I was going crazy but I didn't think this soon
I just saw a cat in the moon
medications make me feel great
or at least a little less insane
I am completely disconnected from reality, please help me

Oh noose tied myself in, tied myself too tight
Oh noose tied myself in, tied myself too tight
Looking kind of anxious in your cross armed stance
Like a bad tempered prom queen at a homecoming dance
And I claim I'm not excited with my life any more
So I blame this town, this job, these friends
The truth is it's myself
Oh noose tied myself in, tied myself too tight
Oh noose tied myself in, tied myself too tight
Talking shit about a pretty sunset
Blanketing opinions that I'll probably regret soon
I've changed my mind so much I can't even trust it
My mind changed me so much I can't even trust myself

Fuck Everything
04:49
|

I’ve been getting sick of living in this town
My friends, these conversations, everywhere outside’s brown
I’ve been getting sick of seeing the same faces
Everyone’s the same looking, playing the games their playing
I’ve been getting bored of doing the same things
Go to school, work on music, playing video games
I’ve been getting down, I’ve been feeling low
Hope that things get better, tell myself tomorrow
I’ve been feeling lonely I’ve got no one around
No friends next to me that I have to do the things I love
I’ve been feeling alone when I’m around
Other people, they remind me I just got myself
I’ve been disappointed with myself
Not putting in the effort needed to be better
I’ve been sad with the world around
Every fuciking thing I look at makes me frown
I’ve been giving in to some indulgences
I’ve been smoking too much and I’ve been eating
I’ve been gaining weight, but I’ve let myself down
Say to myself a thousand times I need out of this town
A scenery change won’t make me happy
Some people have broken brains and they'll always feel crappy
I should stop blaming everything else
Face the truth for once: It’s myself
I say that a lot
But I don’t ever fix it
Maybe this time I’ll mean it
Maybe this time I’ll mean it
Fuck religion
Fuck Society
Fuck the oligarchy
Fuck everything
Fuck minimum wage
Fuck the patriarchy
Fuck the police
Fuck everything
Fuck hating yourself
Fuck hating your life
Fuck wanting to die
Fuck everything
Fuck staying alive
Fuck trying to try
Fuck making effort
Fuck everything
Fuck singing this song
Fuck living your dreams
Fuck listening
Fuck everything
Fuck trying to be
Or to be happy
Fuck all my stuff
Fuck everything
Fuck everything
No, fuck myself
Fuck myself
Fuck yours truly

Incapable of Thought
04:55
|

They say you shouldn't force creativity, that’s exactly what I’m doing
Thought up these words for no real reason, cause I got nothing else going
Can’t think of points or topics to vocalize, gotta believe me I’ve tried
I’m not capable of original thought, that's why this song is so contrived
There is no difference between inspiration and just being a ripoff
There is no distance between inspiration and just ripping people off
There is no difference between inspiration and just being a ripoff
There is no distance between inspiration and just ripping people off
Only reason I can play this song is cause, I learned a few modest mouse songs
Only reason I’m singing this way is cause, I stole it from a guy named smog
Only reason I think anything is cause, of hearing other people’s thoughts
Only reason I am who I am is cause, of all the things I’ve been taught
There is no difference between inspiration and just being a ripoff
There is no distance between inspiration and just ripping people off
There is no difference between inspiration and just being a ripoff
There is no distance between inspiration and just ripping people off
Oh fuck!
My mind is a giant gangbang of other people's thoughts, Holy fuck
I only really hate myself because everyone else did first, I can’t make up my own damn mind
I only really want to die because of how the world works, I can’t take this shit anymore
I’m not really myself but I’m not really someone else, just my luck
An identity crisis isn't worth having
When you're only 17 (I’m actually 18 now haha)
I can ignore these thoughts, store them deep in my mind
Bottle them up for another time

Light of my Life
05:56
|

Aimlessly pacing, stepping forward in time, wandering and dissatisfied
Directionless quest to the end of the line, body engulfed in a lack of light
Face melting silence in the hearts of my mind, why does none of this make any sense
Tunnel trapped traveler near the end of their rope, and I thought you’d end up better than this
Still continue pressing on with my stride,
There is no real danger but my thoughts won’t abide
Then something far gone pierces through light,
But brain loves playing tricks that break all my feelings
Hope this isn’t one of those illusions
That’s alright cause if it is I’m prepared for it
Hopelessly hopeful start sprinting ahead
Every single notion is riding on this motion
As I run closer, glimmers start to enlarge
From the earth, from the hole, I finally emerge
And it’s all alright
Took a moment just to appreciate this
Took a moment just to enjoy
Thought about it as coincidence
Could it be fate or just a ploy?
Did it seek me out intentionally?
Destiny or nothing at all?
Maybe it's neither or maybe it's both
Speculation cannot be my fall
Sun once in sky, personified.
And he matched the species, but all the more pretty
Here to help me, to set free, to love
Worries all fled, Safety again
As I let down my guard, confident there’s no harm
Feel closure, contentment, decent
Comfortable with, basking in it
For the rest of my days, feel the light, it’s okay
Please don’t take my, light source, away
