twenty four hardly recognise simple things anymore i don't
want to be defeated this is the point this is the manifest
bed for the scraping dirty little secret reason for the
gathering consequence what else is there to do but go
outside and look around look around

BIRTHDAY PONY
this is a birthday pony this is a strange
kind of rest because i feel like a guest when i'm right
here at home i'm not right here at home i opened up these
accounts all these separate accounts because i can't comprehend
the single ride to the end i needed something to do and
so i split into two but now the pattern takes hold i find
i'm losing control laugh boy i don't want to be free this
is a birthday pony
FORENSIC SCENE
in your memory not so gentle perversify
slash sentimental caught between and caught without i'm
a failure not your failure now in and out just like a
knife would tax the flesh and leave a cheap wound fucked
and fucking love and lay congenitally fractured anyway
unclipped unclean this forensic scene's all played out
the defense rests and sorry's just a no shit sherlock
mouth talk con job from your memory to this instant worked
so hard for working distance like a mouth too late to
shut i'm a failure not your failure now
COMBINATION LOCK
(instrumental)
FELL, DESTROYED
here's a list of side effects practice
tested covering every malice angle for example you will
sleep forever you will never sleep again yawn to yawn
your face is born to mask the shade of shit you're in
now it's time to fake resignment room assignment next
door to the generator what the fuck it is whatever powers
lights to burn all night your teeth to grind to grind
so fine you'll find out sooner what it is to ring the
alarm or you're sold to dying fell, destroyed and long
out used step into it green in laying water blue cop a
feeling coprophagics say next in line well how about you
freedom's fiction sorry fifteen time to sell the softer
shoe ring the alarm or you're sold to dying (respects
to tenor saw)
BY YOU
generation fuck you to define and redefine
you'd make them all the same but molds they break away
safely inside looking outside go keep on picking at it
it's just going to get bigger not yet an also-ran the
note left in your hand is by you asked to cease and desist
what aggravation preordained it feels so good laying down
i won't ask to get up again where's my life you're in
control like you don't know don't say you're along for
the ride sitting down when you should stand the line is
in your hand and it's by you hand over hand over hand

TARGET
it's cold outside and my hands are dry
skin is cracked and i realize that i hate the sound of
guitars a thousand grudging young millionaires forcing
silence sucking sound forced into this conversation so
i shine let their planets collide this is the darkening
down of my mind we could be making it oiling like crime
we could be making it staking last dimes if you want to
sieze the sound you don't need a reservation the torch
is pased it's yours to return lay at their feet now use
it to burn for marketing the use of the word generation
a false alliance of money persuading forcing silence sound
sucking forced into this conversation now if you want
to sieze the sound you don't need a reservation so open
so young so target i can smell your heart you're a target
BACK TO BASE
autonomy is a world of difference they're
creeping round but they know they can't come in back from
the front with observation it's still there across from
me an extreme example bringing you what they want twenty
four hours a day whole lot of not but it's convenient
pray for fire they'll tell you anything it's speculation
pure speculation bringing you back to base
DOWNED CITY
i want to go i want to get out all guns
are loaded and have gone off now i'm channeling 17 dead
revolutions that have long gave up the ghost one drink
of water and i'm drowning the space between the dime and
the dollar the space between the city and the suburb some
kid took another kid pumped him full of holes just to
see a new horizon one drink of water and i'm drowning
in it not alright downed city downed city two and two
sawed in two
LONG DISTANCE RUNNER
the farther i go the less i know one foot
goes in front of the other it all boils around to not
hanging around to keep moving in front of the gravity
the answer is there the answer is there but there is not
a fixed position it keeps moving along so i keep coming
along and that's why i'm a long distance runner and if
i stop to catch my breath i might catch a piece of death
i can't keep your pace if i want to finish this race my
fight's not with it it's with the gravity long distance
runner
