TINY GLOWING SCREENS PT. 3
ft. Camila Recchio & Danny McClain
Poem Bridge
Nothing matters I want to hear the church bells ring
So it doesn’t matter nothing matters I want to see the fog roll in
And while you be, be true I don’t mind the muddy water
And if you won’t, fuck you I don’t mind the ocean wind
Burn your clothes Show me I’m alive right now
Open the wine Even if you gotta prick this skin
Close your eyes Open up your eyes (x4)
Freeze time Verse 2
Verse 1 Some days I throw my hands up like this shit right here
You’re officially welcome to grab your crotches is hopeless
Synchronize your watches and pour us a couple scotches but today I throw my hands up like this shit right here’s
People still as statues can’t catch you, turn pockets empty the dopest
If they’re packed with plenty move some to ones lacking I’ll never sew my family’s holes up saying hocus pocus
any So I focus love on what is whole and chase my magnum
while I take a crack at hacking the bank to jack em to opus
cover high debts There’s so much more life before I leave this skin behind
You’re screening floating bullets with a butterfly net me
if there’s any screaming Yeah, right now I’m feeling finer than Aaliyah in the 90s
pause it and cut the out sound Yeah, today I’m feeling firmly like my faith could never
deposit the slugs underground burn me
I’m positive that we don’t fuck around like I’m apt to move that mountain just by glaring at it
no we go scooping up the diesel that’s leaking a sinking sternly
tanker San Francisco used to seem bigger than Jupiter
forever stuck at anchor like beetles get stuck in amber From the view of an atom the human body’s a universe
halted like the thaw of the iceberg that shoulda sank her how impossibly big it be
halted right beside the temperature spike and the spread this symmetry
of cancer this brutality
and all my peoples’ engagements and babies my friends and beauty and synergy
are making and beyond what we’ll live to see
We quit getting lamer, days quit getting later, life quits I know nothing limit me
being labor just take everything ever
quick— you should come through to our party and we are that
dude bring your crew bring an army times infinity
youth is inside of the heart, the future can never harm me
We’re never tardy
(freeze, freeze, freeze)
Late or early don’t worry we’ll wait cause we’re in no
hurry to see those pearly gates
I sit outside and watch the pigeon shit and tiny airplanes
hanging in the sky and then I hit a McCartney show and
trip off how his arm is superglued to his guitar and then I
enjoy the lovely view and stand there for a month or two
my headphones looping Love Me Do on repeat
Paul might not die if we try to wall off this diorama
we’ll buy all the time we want and then spend it all to
Move this crowd
to join as converts to the church of blessed concerts and
then conjure up some conversation
Yes, I’m proud
my country is my heart and so in every combination we
all rep a common nation
That is how
I know that all we lepers and we shepherds join together
now in holy congregation, everybody
stop right now!

TALKING TO MYSELF
Verse 1 Verse 2
one day you opened up your eyes inside of you had a little spot
inside a world where you been going through a lot
inside a universe you didn’t get to choose wanna shove it to the bottom
you didn’t get to pick the rules or pick the past but a trouble gonna bubble to the top
or set the pace then the bubble gonna pop
or cast the cast and crew and the hustle never ever gonna stop
you didn’t get to pick your starting place cause you get up in the morning get ahead
and though it was a race you didn’t understand then get to bed and then you do it all again
you simply lined up on the blocks and when the until the moment that you drop
pistol popped you ran you need a plot — what you wanna witness
and when you tripped and dropped you picked with this life you got
yourself up off the ground you kicked and fought
and picked your scabs trynna get up in your skin and pick this lock
and knew you had to pick a plan to end what that ticking clock
you began lets you know that bitch you got these situa-
As you got older there were days of cold sur- tions witchu
render issues someone fit to quick should sit you
Days of shrugged whatevers folded in with should down to talk
days of shocking splendor ever wonder who’s the crazy the one?
but as time advanced the lovely days were cov- people walking to work as if nothing is off
ered up from view but if a person really got it they would be
by an advancing melancholy haze that hovered cracking a bottle on somebody’s head and
near the dew looting from shops
Yet there were moments are there times you’re alone now when no-
there were these pure arresting moments when body’s home
you stepped outside your head but you walk around muttering under your
outside your pain breath second guessing shit
outside control saying goddammit goddammit goddammit
outside the bullshit just whispering soft?
out of body do you ever get lost, deep in your thoughts,
out of rage tripping when you think about the cost of see-
outside the need to get it ing this through?
get it? when you tie your stomach into knots that you
you will never get it don’t know how to undo?
that’s okay but do you ever have another moment after
that
Chorus when you can see
Have you felt a little off today? there’s no one way this has to be?
Had a lot to say or maybe that’s just me
But wound up talking to yourself?
I’ve been hunting for a kindly ear
But couldn’t find one near
And wound up talking to myself

CHEMICAL ANGEL
Verse 1
I got a year’s supply of capsules
I got a bottle full of friends (full of friends, full of friends, full of friends)
They’re always right around (around)
to come show me the town (the town)
Delivered through a filtered lens
My doctor says I’m being reckless (reckless)
That quitting’s risky for my health (and I’ll fuck up my life real bad)
But if I had choose (to choose)
I know I’d rather lose my life
Than have to lose myself
Chorus
Chemical angel
comfort I crave (x3)
Don’t come around no more
I’m already saved (x3)
Verse 2
I’d like us to spend some alone time (just you and me)
but if I slide into a zone (down and then down, down and then down and then down and
then down)
don’t take it personal (please don’t)
you gotta understand
my brain has got a mind of its own
I don’t know if I’m close to drowning (deeper than anyone on the planet has ever been
under the sea)
Or if I’m finally free (gotta get up and fly, get up so high, I’ma get up higher than a
speeding bullet up in the sky)
I touch my artery (and watch)
And watch my fingertips bob up and down like buoys at sea

LITTLE SLICE
Verse 1 Chorus (x 2)
and the clouds are red and pink like they’re Verse 3
wearing a tube of lipstick I got a stylish private island inside of my mind
the sun is dimming while dipping a toe into the the size of Hawaii
Pacific and when I’m vibing you’re likely to find
Just gimme a hot Jacuzzi me deep in my psyche
a spliff and we’ll watch a movie hiding out peeping a flying V of neon pelicans
I’m spiffy man in a jiffy I’m lifted and living filling the psychedelic horizon like
groovie wow, what just happened?
I’ll please have what he is having
Chorus And how can I come ride that wave?
I’m a groupie to the good life don’t give a damn if I’m damp I dance in the
looking for a taste of paradise rain
I don’t need the whole pie I decided to celebrate like da sky is dumping
just wanna have my little slice champagne on me
paint every clap of thunder as heaven popping
Verse 2 a bottle
I found the fountain of youth and went skinny jump in and paddle the deepest puddles
dipping up in it strap on my goggles
I pick up the lucky pennies epiphanies every I gotta seek what I lack
minute when I’m weak, gotta act
I run the money to coinstar and with the cash I’m a freak, it’s a fact
from the ticket but I can’t say that I mind
I snatch my homies whatever they want at Den- gotta leave those thoughts behind
ny’s and kick it And I hop in my car and I bob in my seat
till the mothafucking sun rise when I’m dropping to the beat as I mob the
so many folks I love right here beach
but it hasn’t a been a good night and I stop and I park at the top of a cliff in the
until the shit gets kinda weird dark and I’m digging on the stars in the sea
shining like a fistful of diamonds
that somebody went and threw into the sky but
they ricochet off
and a couple of em fell into the water and they
sink the bottom
and I think that I saw some
but I blink and I lost em
and I drink in the awesome view
infinite kilometers of water and the tiny ships
moving across em
if I’m getting money then I get it while I can
but if I’m not I better live it up and dammit I de-
mand to give it every single breath I got inside
of me and try to be the man

YES, BRITANNIA
Chorus Verse 2
I’m pleading guilty with the Crown today All we’re seekin’s a person that we can cherish
That’s all I got to say I don’t think you really want a green card
I will not lie to you marriage
I had to try my luck across the sea Nothing is fair but you’re caring and can’t
Now we’re history bear it
I’m saying goodbye to you A lot of people perished tonight in Paris
The planet is a mean is a motherfucker
Verse 1 You wanna scream but we gotta lean on each
Yes, I’ve been a mess other
With the pressure the stress We suffer and pick ourselves up off of the
see ya never, I guess floor
nevertheless, finding you I was blessed Your dad at stage four, what could I say to
Swear I’m trying my best support?
Lion inside of my chest Can we just quit each other
trying to claw his way out the way you did cigarettes?
Crack my ribs, pop my lungs I don’t know if up and split, cold turkey, no regrets?
there’s a safe route I’d even miss tasting the nicotine on your
now—we can cut this frayed rope breath when we kiss
or hope and wait us to fade I’m not ready to say good bye to you yet
babe— after how great the ups were like sayonara
we can’t be living with love when it’s lost it’s I don’t know if I can try tomorrow
luster am I supposed to say a hallelujah
frosted over, busted, exhausted, ruptured smile I knew ya
another couple who settled for less And go on my way?
We want something real Outro
a relationship Oh, yes Brittania
Wanna feel I surrender
and quit chasing shit Book me and toss the key
gimme a shield Oh, yes Brittania
or she’ll break me quick I’ll remember your generosity
And we will never be the same again Oh, yes Brittania
Poison testers, princes and hooligans
Chorus Oh, yes Brittania
Loves a jester, and what a fool I’ve been

STICK TO YOUR GUNS
ft. Julia Nunes
Verse 1 Verse 3
I’ll be gone when you read this so I just wanted to say we come together in this hour of need
I’m sorry to the couple decent people who got in the way to the honor the innocent victims of this cowardly deed
and maybe there was a point at which this all coulda of course I share your sentiment as your voice in the
been different senate
but this is the position we’re in and it’s pointless to wish but let’s accept nothing ever could have been done to
that it isn’t prevent it
they’ll all be gawking when I walk in the door it’s just the strange inner visions of a deranged individu-
cocking my shotgun hammer and they drop to the floor al
the clocks shatter, I scatter the jock horde full of rage, full of hate, full of vitriol
splatter the chalkboard I gotta mention that it’s sick and insane
it matters a lot more than half of you thought my opponent’s twisting your pain for political gain
when you were knocking me like I’m a laughingstock and that’s lame
a weakling a freak and a creep and I think it’s a damn shame
I was mocked and ignored it doesn’t give anyone power to cast blame
you’re sorry now but talk is cheap because the past is the past
shoulda thought it before and it’s best that we keep things the same
you’re the sorry flock of sheep who made me rot to core So, my Chads and my Staceys, go back to the mall
and of course you’ll make a break to escape through the Fill your bags out at Macy’s, and chat in the hall
corridor And I hope I’m that vote that you cast in the fall
don’t be late, I set you up on a date with the coroner cause I care for you, it’s true
and our fates are sealed Bridge (x 4)
all of you fakes, don’t worry Stick to your guns
this will all be over soon
Chorus
You got your finger on the trigger, kid
You got your finger on the trigger, kid
Come on
Line it up, line it up, line it up
And hit me with the truth
Verse 2
thanks for tuning in to the top rated crew in the news!
feels great to us that we’re the one that viewers would
choose
I’m hearing through my producer we’ve got the scoop on
the name and the favorite food of the shooter
plus an interview with a student who’s been fed through
a tube
she was shot in the head
we’re gonna bring you a segment live from her hospital
bed
we’ll try to bring you the spin through your preexisting
opinions
but if we miss it switch it to our sister network instead
of course we know this situation is tragic
but take a minute to appreciate our fabulous graphics
and we’ll be back in action with up to the second reports
(after a couple of words from all our loyal sponsors, of
course)
so like us, and vine us, and tweet to connect
24/7 we’re giving ya what you’re craving
we live to deliver live the kinda coverage that you’ve
come to expect
we’re always here for you

BRAVE NEW WORLD
ft. Chaos Chaos
Intro Verse 2
Veneficia! Veneficia! Seven trumpets! Veneficia! Young George Jetson stepping up in this motherfucker
Verse 1 gripping a butcher knife hoping I can cut the chord
Easy, with a ballot, we can put a reality TV person- Where the horde is plugged to the motherboard
That is not a legitimate hoverboard
ality in DC
(shit’s got wheels!)
Speak free if you can see how this delicate fucking I Iook at the sky saying “my god run!”
matter developed but man it beats me Life’s heavier than an ipod one
(Oh my goooooood!) My twitter ain’t gonna matter when the tripods come
two fleets keep peace on the mean streets (Let’s get real!)
one treats brown people like they’re beastly From the hieroglyphs to the crowded malls
nothing like the force that police me Never mind if, but the how it falls
(that’s so odd!) I’m vibing out watching Ow! My Balls
what’s the fate of the species? (Oh yeaaaaa)
get a metal plate and then mate with the PCs core defects tend to wreck my sleep
the quest to be more perfect than Ford Prefect
or retreat back to a monkey chucking feces?
while I’m dreaming of Electric Sheep
(What’s the deal?) Cause Soylent Green is people
wanna ease this pain resistance is just futile
different than the BC years Pop a red pill and a blue pill and I dilate my pupils
now we Bcc Jesus on the email chain Moving light speed
Way too many threats to flee we all got vile needs
way too many heads to feed living is a violent deed
Not too many beds to sleep spread my soul like Wild Seed
chief said that it was best you leave Why would it be any wonder I act weird?
F-U please to the refugees I’m trying to find out who the fuck I am while looking in
a cracked Black Mirror
And it’s seeming like it’s every other day that I been
You got a finish that you thought about?
tugging at my collar thinking “damn it’s toasty” How this is gotta bottom out?
where did all the people at the supermarket go that You wanna flee the reaper but they’re bombing the city
used to scan my groceries? and the single haven to creep in is the slaughterhouse
Vanished mostly
And wassup with all the homies in the camo and
the ammo with the rifles on their shoulder walking
through the city thinking that they’re Annie Oakley?
That’s quite enough
but this shit is fucking unbelievable
I swear you couldn’t write this this stuff
Chorus
Everywhere that I stare
(Veneficia!)
You couldn’t write this shit, no
Every minute, deeper in it
(Veneficia!)
Another fantasy is brought to life
Everywhere that I stare
(Science Fiction!)
You couldn’t write this shit, no
Every minute, deeper in it
(Veneficia!)
And now I never get surprised

GOING DOWN
Chorus Verse 3
I’m going down, I’m going down, I’m going down given our planet’s gender ratio
On you it’d be a mockery glossing over fellatio (there he go)
meaning that really fucking quick
Verse 1 I gotta touch on sucking dick
I’m breathing deep then I leap in many guys visualize giving BJs And say “eww”
I’m going under But can we just please give smoking pole a calm objec-
like eating that V’s the key to how we can beat global tive view?
hunger I’m pretty straight, but I’ll state: sexuality’s an arc
achieve total peace on earth maybe I can suck a flashlight so my soul will not be dark
I’m a freak, I’m a local wonder Why couldn’t I get sexual with a man at all?
more lung capacity than Freddy Mercury vocal numbers At thirteen I was in my bedroom fucking stuffed animals
I plunder the briny deep if I can bang an inanimate object can’t I jam the crotch
a spelunker plunging in, hunkering down in between of a man in my jaw and softly massage it?
those puffy pink walls like a fallout bunker fellas vomit like “what if the sausage is smelling hella
and if never emerge to the surface don’t gimme shit funky?”
in twenty years I’m back like Kimmy Shmidt (wassup) Don’t you wash your fucking junk, B?
Hold up, wait (Hold up, wait) of course I wouldn’t devour icky salami
Cause I really gotta set one thing straight but that goes the same for encountering stinky punani
I’m not chowing on the chocha so that you’ll reciprocate so in this scenario where I brush my teeth with a penis
I just go in (go in) let’s assume that the penis we’re dealing with sparkles
no strings (no strings) the cleanest of all
tastes great (tastes great) penis penis on the wall
fun times (vitamins!) with those well proportioned balls
I got a wand tongue
I’m doing sorcery Verse 4
If you don’t want none So let’s say you’re okay with your lips around a cock
well that’s just more for me but you still can’t wrap your mind around the final mon-
eyshot
Verse 2 don’t give up! if the nut is what truly makes it foul
I’m going down on you like I like it but bruh I’m lyin’ then just get him close to busting and hand him a paper
Cause I don’t like it I luh that shit’s my valentine towel
one tiny warning—I’m dining on your gourmet form until yup! no gravy on your chin!
the morning yup! everybody wins!
performing like it’ll stop global warming yup! squirrel to an acorn
my pallet has got no equal dudes like to look at dicks in their straight porn
talent could vanquish evil Put your hands up if you got hangups
and maybe make Rick Moranis be in the Ghostbusters Put your hands up if you got hangups
sequel if I could get with it I’d have a wider ocean I’m fishing in
one taste and I’m wailing “god bless!” (god bless!) But I’m inhibited by my social conditioning
Until you quiver I will not rest (not rest) so where my head’s at present the odds are gloomy
licking repeatedly like your beaver’s a square reader That I would agree to feast on a D that’s presented to
and my tongue is a VISA debit card that failed to process me
it’s like the Miracle Worker and I’m blind and I’m deaf But I’m not officially ruling out
and dumb that at some point in my life I’ll have a dingaling in my
plus each inch my body’s numb except for the tip of my mouth
tongue
and each Wikipedia topic’s printed in microscopic raised
ink on your clit
so the single option I got to know something about this
wonderful globe that we come from’s to locate your swol-
len bean and then probe the folds of it fiendishly til you
cum about infinity times
And baby that isn’t a crime

MIDNIGHT HEART
ft. Mal Devisa
Chorus Verse 2
Well I’ve made enemies along the ride it’s tough to care about stupid bullshit all of the
I’m afraid I could never be satisfied time
But each way that I turn I face ahead so I gotta say I’m glad that’s your job and not
Hook mine
Straight through to your midnight heart Everybody’s got a topic at the top of their
Straight through to your midnight heart mind
Now you know your soul is dark A choice of how you wanna let your life be
Straight through to your midnight heart defined
(is it honeys?)
Verse 1 sleeping around is your taste?
you don’t know the name of like half of these (Is it money?)
folks are you the paper you chase?
and they’ll be sprinting for the exit the minute (Kinda funny)
you’re broke You said that I’ve been playing safe
a bunch of bobblehead muppets to laugh at if you got the bravest voice say that to my face
your jokes (is it your career?)
wipe your ass and come and give your ego a pretty shitty to hear but I took a difficult look in
stroke the mirror
I had to break it to you and I checked in the rearview
sorry buddy it was time you knew objects are never what they appear
nothing you ever said was funny man, the the past tends to look crooked from here:
punchline’s you the mask that I put on out of fear
one time, for the palm trees and the sunshine the tracks that I didn’t put out
two times, for the two-timers being unkind the facts that I kept out of my ear
confined to a small mind, but the fault’s mine the slack that I cut people who didn’t deserve
I always keep on crawling back across the San it is tragically clear
Andreas faultline no no no not this year
I keep on climbing underground to sweat out I’m not done changing yet
all my principles in darkness with you in this salt I’ll get these old knees checked
mine I can’t bend over for someone I don’t respect
where we’re all blind
I should fall back
I know all signs say that I should halt
but I golf clap for this false crap
but from now on counterfeit suckers suck on my
ball-sack alright?
I know you know it’s way too late now and
your soul is dark
Yeah motherfucker I see through you to your
midnight heart

LOVELY THINGS SUITE: CONVERSATIONS
Verse 1 Verse 2
I remember vividly Life moves fast
my tears dropping on the grey carpet on the top Made the mistake of blinking, twenty years passed
step Now I’m sitting in my living room in Brooklyn with father
We don’t bother doing Christmas in the Bay any longer
pops giving me his best guess
It’s first time that we’ve had this conversation
me confessing the burning question stressing and He says “it’s tough to take in
concerning me and turning me to a wet mess I know we’re not quite ancient
it’s probably nothing But we’ve reached age where we should probably talk
I get it, I’m aware arrangements
I know it’s probably stupid to be scared We could take it several routes
But these days are flying past us and nobody seems We could sell the house
to care We can’t work forever, eventually money will run out
It’s like we’re sprinting towards a brick wall we’re That’s a spot taking a loan would help us cover
pretending isn’t there Which would make it tougher to leave something for
you and your brother”
What happens when we hit it?
Stop—can’t you see?
Do we split into a million bits Every meal that you paid for me
Or do we come back as a bullfrog and talk in rib- all this power to chase a dream
bits? All this privilege not to crave riches
What is it? What is it? What is it? but it’s plain to me the key fact is it’s easy to act like
You got the answer so give it, so give it, so give it cash means jack shit if you never lacked it
Don’t lie, what happens when we die? and the greatest honor I could have is to make a
Dad says, Georgie I’m just guessing from what I’ve buck and pass back a fraction of all the happiness you
been told gave to me
Probably thinking, “How’d I raise this emo fucking And I will never make you live where you don’t aim to
be
nine-year-old?”
Age is just data
Since I’m sorta really not religious it’s a crapshoot we paint our story A to Z then dip out
I roll a pair of dice R.I.P. rip out, we tear out the pages
Although the thought of paradise is very nice Tear up the stage and we take a seat
In my heart I know I don’t believe in magic making a vacancy
So I’m thinking maybe death is like eternal TV static Famous or not, we fade from the plot
or returning to the state before your birth Every day when a new night falls
absorbed into the earth I ride around the sun on this big blue ball
the fewer hours left the more they’re worth I get a bit further from the kid called Paul
I admit that it’s difficult to think about and I get a bit closer to the big brick wall
But since inching up to that fence
I think everybody got a little bit of doubt
I can run my fingers against all the bricks and mortar
You don’t get to hide from it even if you shout and sense
Not a soul on the planet gets to wiggle out that it’s not so cold and so dense
And he said that I know that’s it’s tough to take in And although I’m mournful I’ve known that I’m not
son but it’s so early immortal
I can see you’re in a hurry but don’t worry cause I’m not banging into stone but I’m more heading
through this portal
Chorse We’re born to return to home we’re all born to be
That isn’t for a long, long time mincemeat
That isn’t for a long, long time everything dies except for Papaya King hotdogs on
86th St.
That isn’t for a long, long time
Dad hands me a napkin tells me it’s been the same since
That isn’t for a long, long, long, long time the fifties
He didn’t always love the city but dammit he’ll miss me
How can you miss something after you leave, I agree
that it’s sad but please
Don’t dwell on it Dad, because—

LOVELY THINGS SUITE: KNOTS
What a tangle and to clench the iron first inside the velvet glove
What a strangling knot to be caught in to learn to whisper and to scream
To be exiled here (the whisper justifies the scream)
To be stuck in Berlin with Vienna so near to let each yearning finger breathe
Yet so far from the Emperor’s ear (no, nothing lives unless it breathes)
What a strange and impossible sum to burn, to worship, to mislead
to be old while to still be so young to pose a question with a pinky on a key
to have sung before speaking a word to flee, to fight, to bleed
to be heard to float in air
to be hailed nothing solid underneath
then to fail to rap those heavy knuckles on the gate to heaven
to be done til there’s nothing to achieve, but—
to love but to be so naive
to trust and to be so deceived To go retrieve the length of cable hidden in the cabinet
to mourn, forlorn, to be torn from you to metamorphasize the twisted rope unto an alphabet
scorned for another who suffers no grief to lay the lazy C upon the shabby wooden floor to rest
to send the end across the top and bend the C into an S
to curse God, seeking lightning
to curve the tail beneath the S to turn the tangle to a B
and to still be ignored to hug the wretched root around the fibers suffocatingly
to hide in this room, now too rich to afford to wrap again to wrap again to give the coil seven
to hear armies of creditors bang at the door loops
always yelling for more to penetrate the yawning hoop
and to have nothing to sell that could help to tug the loose appendage through
except for the Steinway that sits in the corner to yank the knot until it’s ready for the job it’s got to do
to toss the braid above the ceiling beam and to affix the
For Arthur it all came too easily noose
to learn the scales in every key to bid adieu to all of you until there’s nothing left to do
but
to play the etudes and the suites
climb the chair
the nocturnes and The Fantaisie to cinch the collar
to master the sonatas, minuets, and symphonies find the edge
to seek the truth fits and starts to step into the air
to strike the middle F like it’s an arrow through the
heart
to wing the right hand like a dove (the peaceful
flutter of a dove)
and with left a violent shove (some moments will
demand a shove)
to needle gently yet relentless with a steady foot
upon the pedal

Chorus Verse 2
Don’t let my ghost drag you down cause every screen the we tap is screaming
If you don’t see me around that bigger is better
It doesn’t mean that I fell better is how you make yourself matter
yeah I’m doing well but matter is fleeting
I got some roses to smell am I living to feed a machine that I’m blind to
I hope you smile when I’m gone see?
It means I had the strength to move on no point in hiding my pride if there’s no priva-
To find another story to tell cy
to answer the bell I’ve already dedicated too much of my time to
I got some roses to smell trying to get my followers up
and crying out for attention
Verse 1 and sleeping around to mend a hollow crater
when magic’s happening my habit’s been coil- inside of me
ing up a memory and trappin it right knowing well that it don’t mean shit
in the cavity of my ribs, like the doors of a cab- going to the well for another cheap dopamine
inet might hit
but you won’t hold onto a shadow just by grab- I’m done being a bitch to ambition
bing it tight I’m already rich
set it free and let it back in the light I got a head that’s full of million dollar ques-
never out of my heart, even when out of my tions
sight and the length of it
leaving is sposed to be hard is I don’t need the courage to work
Man I thought it so was selfish of people I love I want the strength to quit
to keep falling out of my life
But now I know
No I don’t take it personal
If you got a really lovely place to go
I will chase my goals yeah, to make me whole
Cause it’s urgent we love and be loved
I’ve begun to scrub up with detergent to shine
up my soul

LOVELY THINGS SUITE: THEORIES
Arthur stepped off, yeah he stepped offa the Back in 97 when Dad was my chauffeur
chair He’d play radio and I’d try to guess the com-
Couldn’t weigh a hundred forty pounds poser
and the rope snapped yeah the rope snapped Chopin sprinkled over the hum of the motor
and then Arthur found himself looking up from when I was young never I’d doubt my compo-
the ground sure
looking up, looking up, found things looking up everything’s kosher, man I was so sure
looking up, looking not so down, no not so I’d say that I’m good
down Don’t want no adulthood
no knots don’t have to stay that way I never understood
no, not so tightly wound couldn’t get how anyone would ever want to
end to their life
Chorus until the day that I could
What a lovely thing it is to fail I’ve heard it said we’re alone in the ether
to release those grasping fingernails That we’re the only intelligent creatures
Arthur thought the end was near So you don’t need to adjust your receivers
Then Arthur played for fifty years If they were out there they’d be texting us,
And then my father walked down 8th and 57th hitting our beepers
street to Invading us on some alien Julius Caesar
Carnegie Hall, yeah it was Carnegie Hill Or begging “take me to your leader”
the show was past sold out for weeks But I got a theory it’s neither
But they said “if you don’t mind, if you don’t That there’s a billion brilliant alien planets at
mind sitting on stage leisure
Sometimes we release a couple seats” smoking alien reefer
twenty feet, twenty feet, yeah my dad’s twenty the evolution of the mind’s not the hunger to
three conquer
tweet feet from the hands on the keys or to want or to seek or to wander
yeah, the hands on the keys of a man with the Or even wonder, but to simply to be
hands that almost didn’t exist until we cease to be any longer
that almost didn’t exist to see There’s nothing wrong with heavy eyelids
I hope you enjoyed my twenties as much as I
did
You’ll never know how much that all of you
provided
And I’m gonna try to do the same for
