gently used. 03:38
lyrics
I had a crack at today I swung hard and I missed anyway Fell flat on my face Did a little push-up to save my grace I guess tomorrow I'll win And if not, then maybe the following When the good times begin Once I am finished falling in Well I've been gently used I've been rejected and refused But what I've seen has accrued I know what it's like to play and lose I've got a couple of scars They help to remind me I've travelled far Seen some things so bizarre Both the good and the bad have left their mark.

we are going to crash. 03:47
lyrics
If only we had known Where this flight had flown We could have figured out Where it would go. Airport announcements Drowned by the shouting Of everyone trying to be heard Can't see the signs So we're all running blind Pick a flight and that's your world. And as the plane I'm on loses an engine The pilot gets on the intercom to mention That we are going to crash We are going to crash. I guess I'll have another Now that I've been smothered By someone I once called brother. Now there's no context For the next few breaths While I choose a different flight The take-off was smooth We were starting to cruise But we ran out of fuel by night. And as the second plane I'm on loses an engine The pilot gets on the intercom to mention That we are going to crash We are going to crash We are going to crash. I hope you have a safe flight.

sick of talking. 03:45
lyrics
I am sick of talking Staring at the door The monologue is mocking That its become a chore I am sick of talking 'Cause we are running track Exhausted from the circles And you don't have to come back You don't have to come back And I need a minute Just give me a minute I'll be outside I wish that staying And pausing decaying Could coincide But I can't abide 'Cause I can't decide No I can't abide 'Cause I can't decide I am sick of talking The answers seldom come Once we were interlocking That memory is numb I lose peripherals It makes it difficult To see you To hear you The monologue is here It's screaming in my ear It's louder than you It's louder than you And I need a minute Just give me a minute I'll be outside I wish that staying And pausing decaying Could coincide But I can't abide 'Cause I can't decide No I can't abide 'Cause I can't decide And I need a minute Just give me a minute I'll be outside I wish that staying And pausing decaying Could coincide.

Bunker Bitch 03:58
lyrics
That gavel's gonna fall any day They're gonna have to drag him away He lied and spat and cheated And he threw kids in a cage That gavel's gonna fall any day. He talked the talk but couldn't walk the walk He helped the fire spread from block to block Prison won't be fun When we throw out the keys to his lock It's time that he get grabbed by the cock. Oh, Mr. President Did you not think that all your sins Would come back to bite you in the ass? Oh, daddy's special boy Upset he couldn't have that toy When you're marched out of The White House, we will laugh. He bullied and attacked those in need Despicable, he'd make Jesus weep He hates all who are different But he loves the damn Nazis Don't believe me? You can read it in his tweets. But now he cowers, and he has shit his pants That bunker bitch does not stand a chance He's hiding from his own people After giving them tear gas Well, sorry Trump, but this ain't gonna pass. Oh, Mr. President Did you not think that all your sins Would come back to bite you in the ass? Oh, daddy's special boy Upset he couldn't have that toy When you're marched out of The White House, we will laugh. Can't wait to get that bunker bitch Removed from his office We will laugh And when you're marched out of The White House We're all just gonna laugh.

so it goes. 03:28
lyrics
Well I must confess I've been under duress For some time Most of it I chose Out of many a road But that's fine 'Cause on every single path I would have been harassed For growth Well, you can choose your own pain But it will always remain So it goes So it goes So it goes So it goes So it goes Well all of you strive For the flawless lives You dreamed But when you set your goal To unachievable You'll scream And you will torture yourself And degrade mental health That way If you no longer compare And just accept that it's there You'll say So it goes So it goes So it goes So it goes Well, we've all been fed A standard we met For what? I could kneel down and pray Or spit on your grave So what? And we sensationalize What's in our everyday lives As if it's a surprise And we can't believe our eyes But if that's how it goes I guess to each their own That's way we say So it goes So it goes So it goes So it goes So it goes.

its okay for now. 03:57
lyrics
Do you feel the haze rise up above? I can see the clouds that once were fog They'll continue to rise until they fall My thoughts are finally making sense After festering inside my head I can see the sunrise gradient And now I've found That what I should care about Is not what's toxic But perhaps a little bit cosmic The tension's kind of like your breath It's a contraction of loose of tense So sure of yourself and then on the fence This highway has too many hills It's motion-sickness that can kill But I can't deny that there's thrill Keep me high.
