HELLO DIRT!

My green silken river and two lights I could almost touch the free walls When we were evicted from the heavens Fast clouded-over bumbling eyes Now peering out through a sinking Cosmic smile, reversed completely Flaming currents forced us to surface Wet purple gowns and blaring alarms All for some milky perversion Nothing the spooks wouldn't be used to Spoiled by an empty fear of violence The only time I've ever been dropped The minute the mirror turned its back to me My distinct conviction of keeping Eternal sources piled somewhere familiar Was compromised and tangled in knots For all I know, we were sleeping Arranged like Fate's vain infantry Stacked in unconscious opposition Blind and happy for tomorrow

I'm not that nice I'm mean and I'm evil Don't call me nice I'm gonna eat your heart out I've got some work to do Baby, I'm ready I'm ready, ready, ready to blow my lid off Yeah Go fuck yourself You heard me right Don't call me nice again Don't you have somewhere to be at seven thirty? Baby, I'm ready I'm ready, ready, ready to blow my brains out You die And words don't do anything It's permanently night And I won't feel anything We'll all be laughing with you when you die Words don't do anything It's permanently night And I won't feel anything We'll all be laughing with you when you die Go fuck yourself I'm mean, not nice You said it twice You said it twice Don't you have somewhere to be at seven thirty? I've got some work to do I'm gonna eat your heart out I heard you the first time

Someone's telling the toll to me I'm cut and I'm weeping like a rubber tree But I don't care who's left behind Lost revelations that I'll never find In the long hall pipes are whispering Blues prepared for anti-christening Somewhere there's an honest soul To mirror teeth where neon lures troll And what's extinct might come alive A purple smoke in some internal shrine With a long sigh let the hissing in Stones deformed by gentle kissing and All the closed eyes start to glisten But it feels like someone's missing It feels like someone's missing Yeah, it feels like someone's missing It feels like someone's missing It feels like someone's missing Yeah, it feels like someone's missing It feels like someone's missing Yeah, it feels like someone's missing It feels like someone's missing Yeah, it feels like someone's missing It feels like someone's missing

Get ready to have some fun Alright here we go Five, four three, two, and one Are you ready to work out? Don't take it the wrong way I can never keep up Sick of liking your selfies Should've gone with my gut Maybe I'm in a movie Maybe I'm out to lunch But I'm constantly swiping it, tapping It's not that relaxing I need a new routine The only reason we never worked out was He didn't work out (He's trying) (She works out too much) The only reason we never worked out was He didn't work out enough (He's trying) Let's move on to the next step Step, touch, step, touch Come on Get on your hands and knees Ready? Here we go Welcome to the shitshow Grab a comfortable seat Find me in the front row Listening to music Anyone can see The only reason we never worked out was He didn't work out (He's trying) (She works out too much) (She works out too much and) The only reason we never worked out was He didn't work out enough Remember to drink a glass of water before and after your workout (he's trying) Form and shake Stick with it Here we go! I'm going off the deep end Time to let myself go Nothing's ever as easy as when It never begins The end is just a dream The only reason we never worked out was He didn't work out (He's trying) (She works out too much) (She works out too much and) The only reason we never worked out was He didn't work out enough (He's trying) (She works out too much) (She works out too much and) The only reason we never worked out was He didn't work out (He's trying) (She works out too much) (She works out too much and) The only reason we never worked out was He didn't work out enough (He's trying) (She works out too much) The only reason we never worked out was We didn't work out, it never works out No, it never works out She works out too much No, I never work out (she works out too much) It didn't work out No, it never works out Okay, we're done

Why'd you cut holes In the face of the moon base? Don't you know about the temperature change In the cold black shadow? Are you mad at your walls Or hoping that an unknown force can repair things for you? Pardon all the time that you've thrown into your pale gray garden If the ship will never come, you gotta move along Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark The prick of a feather could make a kingdom burn And the bloodshed start, the falling apart Made me a shadow in the shape of wonder, the waves of black If she's going under, I can hold my breath 'Til the sky comes back or drown like a rat (rat, rat, rat) Ooh, he's a rat (he's a rat, he's a rat, he's a rat) To catch a monster, we make a movie Set the tempo and cut and cut its brains out It will inspire on the burning pyre Half the distance, half the motion Communication is easy as the ocean

Slow and steady Wins the race forging memories with cake Seasons burning medicine Multicolored squares incense Slow and steady The turtle and the hare Coming up side by side And as one falls behind Onlookers preside The judgment and confide They knew it all along Forged In destiny That both could Never be the same Even if lettuce is Everyone's taste With it's underbelly exposed Still thinks slow and steady wins the race!
