ERSATZ

too much
too much is not enough
i need drugs to be myself

so hot
so hot it feels cold
stuck in karma echoes

-------

BURNING HOUSE

burning all you own
burning all you know

in a burning house, everybody is sick
in a dying house, everyone is so sick
in a burning house, everyone is so sick

-------

GARBAGE SEA

tell me what you want
so we can keep this simple
the only thing that's perfect is nothing
the only thing that's perfect is nothing

in a garbage patch
in a garbage sea
it might seem tragic
but it's not to me

i'm not growing up
i'm just getting old

-------

PLAYER PIANO

player piano
watch the window
working animals
never getting full
breaking all the rules

player piano is a lie

-------

EVERYTHING TAKES FOREVER

everything takes forever
especially the things that you want to be over

-------

FAMILIAL GODS

facts are lies
earth is hollow
i'm shocked you're shocked
it's what they're taught
familial gods
can't be bothered with the truth

lies are facts
opinion everything
experiments
are just tests of faith
familial gods
can't be bothered with the truth

-------

CASINO ECONOMY

hitting an all time low
i'm too high to die, maybe

-------

RADIATION BURNS

radiation burns
slowly off your skin
i wanted more
than i could give

it's at an arm's length
staring through me
off to my western side
pleased just to be seen

lost in the sea
is where we'll be
the pressure is crushing
when you're deep

-------

AS LONG AS I DON'T GET OLD

as long as i don't get old
this could be perfect

never heard of it
it sounds perfect
let's do more of it
let's do all of it

-------

BLACK HOLES

anytime, anytime, anytime
nothing's lost in black holes anymore
it's all over the outside

-------

WESTERN INTERIOR SEA

western interior sea
like a microsaur 
coming for me
being young is being hungover
technical perfection's not the goal
reality's a crutch when you're alone this much
better broken

sitting in  a car
in an overlit parking garage
everything is built on something's grave
chavez ravine wasn't always paved
i'm not growing up
i'm just getting old
better broken
