You tried to bite The dog outside The neighbor’s party You want to live forever, darling Change me, baby If you'll ever go I’ll go wherever you might need me, baby And if you leave me I’ll sit here waiting for you on daytime TV I would love just To duck behind front rows maybe see me Laughing on the ceiling Lifting boxes for the needy evening If you'll ever go I’ll go wherever you might need me, baby And if you leave me I’ll sit here waiting for you on daytime TV Now, here's something that will really amaze you Come with me, and I'll show you what every one of you can do single-handed When the picture comes in clear like this Is the sound ever so hard to get that all you hear is this? There, now that's quite a difference, isn't it? If you'll ever go I’ll go wherever you might need me, baby And if you leave me I’ll sit here waiting for you on daytime TV If you'll ever go I’ll go wherever you might need me, baby And if you leave me I’ll sit here waiting for you on daytime TV

Not the only time you Slipped me up to your apartment Not the only time but It has never seemed to stop you It takes some time Now I’m not so blind It takes some time And I will never leave Unless you need And now I know I know you’re the only one Who can ever see me for What I wanted most Not the only time I Came across easily bothered Not the only time but It has never seemed to stop me It takes some time Now you’re not so surprised It takes some time And I will never leave Unless you need And now I know I know you’re the only one Who can ever see me for What I wanted most

Is it your time to save a life Or are you too tired? I hope to turn it all around But I’m behind How I’m feeling Grabbing at the ceiling Watch it grow to the weekend Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chase me! Insa-sanley wasting Tasting bloody tongues And the ones that kept me waiting I’m impatient Wanna change the station Could ya Could ya-ya-ya-ya-ya Ch-ch-ch-ch-chase me? Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch

I will live forever The future is an elevator At a rat-themed playground Inside a cheese-theme party I will live forever The future is never-ending But I’m never crying Cause I’m a robot At a rat-themed birthday In a cheese-themed party And we’re always happy And we’re never crying La la sha la la La la sha la la I can’t live forever The future is so damn frightening And it’s always changing (Always changing) While we’re up here playing (So damn frightening) We can unplug ourselves That way we won’t have to stay here In a rat-themed quartet With a rat that scares me La la sha la la (We can live forever) La la sha la la (In our cheese-themed dream land) La la sha la la (We can live forever) La la sha la la (In our cheese-themed dream land) La la sha la la La la sha la la

Or do these parents not know at all? Like if your child was abusive to animals I mean that’s a first sign You know what I mean? 1, 2, 3 And I’m locked up Once more You felt The dirty fingers, lately Said there’s no one on the pavement And we And we Always knew this (We always knew this) But it still hurts to see you through this Cause I just need you with no purpose (With no purpose) Oh and I’m fucked up Twice more We talked all this morning My eyes burn blue But these months feel like murder (These months feel like murder) Generally angrier, you know? Like literally go and do something to somebody You have to be How would you cut somebody’s head off Or kill somebody Or even have the desire to do that? You know Unless they are the way they are because of their parents Maybe that’s it, you know?

VOICE2SKULL 02:18
(I tried) Tripping up the fire escape To escape the fire we made I would never hide what you’re seeking Hold the door I’m trying to speak Can you feel it? Oh, my spirit? I’m still wanting to want you And if I can’t, can’t have you I have to Oh and if you You go I’ll find you (Don’t go) Under pressure, Impressive I can tell You’ve been pressing buttons too well I’ll swim in black lakes and I’ll ask you Could you swim in tanks if you have to? I’m so certain Please don’t be nervous I’m still wanting to want you And if I can’t, can’t have you I have to Oh and if you You go I’ll find you (Don’t go)

I’ve been told to “Treat this as your own” And when I go I’ll say so long like hello And all my life I’ve got someone to love me And all my life I’ll give it back so lovely No use in trying To bite those you can’t chew It’s sad in dying I’m worth more than I knew And all my life I’ve got someone to love me And all my life I’ll give it back so lovely And all my life I’ve got someone to love me And all my life I’ll give it back to you
9.
I’m afraid when no one’s around To take care of me Talk me back down And if you never come home I’ll have to watch you from the house I’ll shut all the blinds closed So I can’t see where you are now Do you want to break me down? Do you want to shake my heart out? Yelling words I learned in stalls Calling my mom when I heard she fell I’ll hold your arm so you can’t fall too I’ll hold you nearer soon Do you want to break me down? Do you want to shake my heart out? I’ll save face if you’ll try Shave my face just so I can Grow some proper confidence Obnoxious breathe, self-consciousness Do you want to break me down? Do you want to shake my heart out?

Crash/Repeat 04:45
And why would you insist That I kinda miss it? For me it’s a mix We talk on the phone But you’re real in your tone Context is different Now everything’s gone Dreaming is hatred And I want to sleep till I’m old And why would you insist That I could have missed this? Feelings get mixed I care not for what you think of me But feel only you, and fear what I think I found a sheep and Crawled into its body I’m asleep so Nobody find me Mind over matter My mind doesn’t matter What matters is mine And the latter won’t raise the dead Hey!
11.
A piece of me hates To hate what I make And I’ve tried to coincide And I’ve tried to let go And I learned That I’m no better on my own Heartbeats will shake But to brave this alone Is to dive into a lake In the freezing cold And I learned I was never made for the snow And I’m no better on my own You’ve made all I breathe You’ve created the seas But you won’t fly a plane Or drive home alone And you learned That you’re no better on your own Yeah you’re no better on your own Your own Oh, it sure bothers me And it takes all of me To say what I need And take what I see But I learned That we’re no better on our own Oh we’re no better on our own No we’re no better on our own
