I’m in need of a real Brainwashin
Double spin hot cold Heavy duty cottons
Put it in the bottom rack of the dishwasher
high scrub High flow pans and pots yeah
Chuck it in the wreck of jetsam flotsam
Dunk it in a shark tank super fuckin awesome
Pickle it in brine with a bunch a salt spice yum
Still not enough to wash the bad stuff off it
Whoaaaa, can you spare me a gallon of soap
I knowwwwww the stains starting to show
Whoaaaa, can you spare me a gallon of soap
I knowwwww I’m doin my best to cope
Hang it up to dry out back on the clothesline
Watch it blow away like: bro I don’t mind
It’s had that old smell like pretty much the whole time
I haven’t felt well like pretty much my whole life
Unscrew the lid, open up the noggin
high time the pilot got ejected from the cockpit
A whole fuckin ocean worth a water on top it
Still not enough to wash the bad stuff off it
Whoaaaa, can you spare me a gallon of soap
I knowwwwww the stains starting to show
Whoaaaa, can you spare me a gallon of soap
I knowwwww I’m doin my best to cope

living the dream
being wrapped in luxury
walking backwards
to fill the need for suspense
telling lies in the present tense
giving away all our sentiments
everything is so fucked give up go alone
~
how far will the lights dim
before we start to change?
this world's a fucked up place
so we have to keep each other safe

Tell me if I’m crazy
I think you kinda hate me
My memory’s kinda hazy
But it’s not like you would lie
I’m sick of all the handouts
The fact that I don’t stand out
We’re processing the same doubt
Your’s and mine at the same time
It’s hard to be perfectly honest
But it’s hard to stay
If you ever call me
It’s going straight to voicemail
Hope that you see
The plot to get me failed
You’ve got four texts sent but I’m not gonna read them
And three rings left but I’m not gonna pick up
And two friends bent ‘cause I’m not gonna give you
One more chance to try
Tell me if I’m crazy
I think you wanna date
But it’s still a maybe
‘Cause it’s not like we’re alike
I think it’s kinda telling
That you’re overwhelming
By the way you’re yelling
These goodbyes are reasons why
It’s hard to be perfectly honest
But it’s hard to stay
If you ever call me
It’s going straight to voicemail
Hope that you see
The plot to get me failed
You’ve got four texts sent but I’m not gonna read them
And three rings left but I’m not gonna pick up
And two friends bent ‘cause I’m not gonna give you
One more chance to try
If you ever call me
It’s going straight to voicemail
Hope that you see
The plot to get me failed
You’ve got four texts sent but I’m not gonna read them
And three rings left but I’m not gonna pick up
And two friends bent ‘cause I’m not gonna give you
One more chance to try

Chorus:
Ask me if I’d do it all again, I don’t know if I could
‘Cause I think if I did, I probably would
Re-make my mistakes, probably not do good
If anything, worse, four years misunderstood
Verse 1:
I’d break the same bones, I’d lose all my friends
Diseases still happen, we’ll be the book ends
I’d drive the same roads, the curves and the bends
But I don’t want to cry, I fear the message that sends
I’d sit alone, singing in my room after dark
Another four years, I wouldn’t know how to start
Maybe if I had grown up I would’ve done my part
Maybе if I was brave, I would’ve followed my hеart
Verse 2:
If I changed my choices, I wouldn’t be here
If I made the right moves, I’d have nothing to fear
With another rewrite everything will be clear
Or I could never release this and step off the pier
Look at me wrong, you’d think I was dead
If I were to bleed, would I bleed red?
I tended to hide all the thoughts in my head
Sometimes all I want is to stay in my bed

I don't think I ever wanna be anywhere without you next to me
I don't sleep well alone now
Falling over every word you said, I can feel my face is turning red
I love it when you look at me
I don't care how late we stay out driving
I don't mind
It's still nice out no matter what the time of day
You talk and I listen, the stars around us glisten
I hold your hand in mine and everything is all right for once today
I hope you don't notice my eyes start losing focus
when all I'm thinking of is you, and me, and everything together
And I love talking to you
about my PS2
and all the stupid shit we wanna do together
I hope that you know that I never want to be anyone's but yours
I hope that you know that I'm yours

I choke on my own throat in my sleep
It sounds like a lawnmower if you're in the room with me
I had to buy a new machine that allows me to breathe
It makes me think I shouldn't be here, and maybe I shouldn't be
It's heavier than I've gotten recently
They ripped the cancer out of my face, I never left the TV
Treated every single day like a coin on a string
Never punch in my initials, never leave anything
I was never a failure because of my shape
It was always about who I was
And I've got this body that's trying to kill me
And I'm trying to be someone that I think it could love (I could love)
Given up on knowing which one came before
Hate yourself, assume they hate you, hurt your friends even more
Gonna break that wheel for once, keep what I can afford
I want to run out of things to forgive myself for
I was never a goner because of my fate
But I gave in and made it who I was
And I've got this body that's trying to kill me
And I'm trying to be someone that I think it could love
So shoulder the weight
Taking a dive now
Try saving face
Let everyone down
It's a fiction you can't learn from
Never was real
Nothing will fix you
When you don't want to heal
Never on time a day in my life
But I'm working to catch myself up
And I've got this body that's trying to kill me
But I'm trying to be someone that I think it could love

Drinking beats throwing up just enough that i’ll do it til i puke waking up without your guts and a bin in your clutch after noon wasted on the week nights just doesn’t seem to feel like I’ve known now that we share our bed and we share this home maybe i should quit drinking but i won’t and i’m keeping my head up as long as i can cause everything falls apart as soon as it lands i crave sunday morning, solemn silence, and sand but waking drunk isn’t quite as i planned and it’s way too quiet to lay down at ease far from the sirens and rain on concrete i’ll pray for a day when he’s carrying me but there’s just one set of foot prints and they’re right below my feet i stare in the mirror and pull out my hair an ear to the hall tho i know no one is near there’s bones and there’s blood but no organs to find still i try

Sort the bottles by their labels
At the bottom you’ll find me
Soaking up philosophy, young and naive
Left here with one final thought, but it’s too early to leave
I can’t stand it anymore
Quietly leave and lock the door
I don’t feel right anymore
Stoke the fire or stay forlorn
Let go of fear, you don’t need it
Let go of fear, you don’t need it

Rad Gnar - Scene

When the whole damn scene
Comes together in times of need
I’ve never seen
Such a tight knit community
From the cheers of a sold out crowd
To red and blue lights and lying on the ground
Summoning
The energy
To make it back and stick around
And everyone
Heard about it and gave him love
For what it’s worth
It couldn’t have been much worse
Having a hard time with the past
Trying to take it in stride and let it pass
Suffering
Undeniably
Now get back up and make it last
And you blink an eye
Another one lost their life
And all this time
We’re asking why
When the whole damn scene
Comes together in times of need
I’ve never seen
Such a tight knit community

two planets
cold as stone
the void that it so roams
can't stand it
pelted rocks and burns in all its holes
by some chance
the two crash into each other and collide
their skin and
bones weave into the world intertwined
now we are gods of our own world
cus your parents wouldn't know the rapture
now I can change my face and
you can change your pupils
a world of all of the subhumans
but if we were perfect systems
then maybe my pain would be too real
if we were perfect systems
then all our flesh would disappear

[Verse 1]
I want to be that comfortable place where you write and read
Watch TV, or deeply breathe
Back to back, you and me feel trapped
Never defend, only attack
You be Rachel and I'll be bong rips
We'll get high all day
[Chorus]
I miss the hours in the morning
And you in the morning hours
I miss walking, naked
Through the backyard to get to the outdoor shower
I miss the way things used to be
I miss the way things used to be
It's okay, no one's around
I'm off-season vacation town
Vacation town
[Verse 2]
I wanna see everything, lay it all out for me
Feel the breeze
With all the windows open in a one-star hotel room
But I could only express my love
When I'm fucked up or far, far away
Physically, another continent
Emotionally, another headspace
Mentally, I'm not even here

I can't focus on the present
Never in the moment
Getting by on
Stolen enjoyment, atonement that I can't feel
Breaking, overtaking, shaking
Always fucking aching, never focused
I can't depend on everything to just work out
I can't imagine everything is all ok
And I always wondered why you stayed
So far away
So close your eyes and just breathe
It isn't hard to do that
Close your eyes and just breathe
It isn't hard to do that
And I won't be there
For you lately
I won't be there
For you lately
I never said that we wouldn't make it
You always felt that you couldn't take it
I never thought I couldn't come home
I always said that we'd always make it
You always felt that you couldn't take it
I never thought I couldn't come home
So close your eyes and just breathe
It isn't hard to do that
Close your eyes and just breathe
It isn't hard to do that
And I won't be there
For you lately
I won't be there
For you lately
You wanna know what I think?
I don't think you're good for me
I'm holding onto nothing
Just to feel a thing I'm holding onto nothing

Claymore - Sit Alone

All I do is sit alone by myself
How could you be so cold?
Take my time, It’s hard to learn to love again
Say goodbye, I guess that’s how the story ends
I sit alone, think of you and i wonder
Was it love? Was it true?
Or just another moment that passed me by
Trapped as I think about why
You hung up the phone
Was I a useless lover?
Moving on, life is better on the other side of town
But my grass is greener when you’re around
It’s cold outside but my insides colder
Since you said goodbye
My heart just beats slower and I
I told myself that one day it gets better
But I’m walking on a line from catastrophe to disaster
All I do is sit alone by myself
How could you be so cold?
Take my time, It’s hard to learn to love again
Say goodbye, I guess that’s how the story ends
I should’ve known the devil only wears designer
I held my breath too long when the dream turned too a nightmare
I had to tell me myself contradictions
You don’t fight fair
Tell me that you don’t care
I’m ripping out all my hair
It’s cold outside but my insides colder
Since you said goodbye
My heart just beats slower and I
I told myself that one day it gets better
But I’m walking on a line from catastrophe to disaster
Disaster.. Disaster..
It all ends in disaster
All I do is sit alone by myself
How could you be so cold?
All I do is sit alone by myself
How could you be so cold?
Take my time, It’s hard to learn to love again
Say goodbye, I guess that’s how the story ends
All I do is sit alone by myself
How could you be so cold?
Take my time, It’s hard to learn to love again
Say goodbye, I guess that’s how the story ends
Disaster, Disaster
It all ends in disaster
Disaster, Disaster
I guess that’s how the story ends

Fuck
I wanna hate you
Burn it all to the ground
She got a new tattoo
Won’t change a thing anyhow
Frustrated stressed out
Can’t get no rest now
You’re stuck in my mouth
I’ll just spit you out
I wanna hate you
Eviscerate you
I'm no fool
You used me like a tool
I wanna hate you
In the type of mind
The one to set you blind
In time this will all be over
Treat you like a dog so roll over
I wanna hate you
Eviscerate you
I'm no fool
You used me like a tool
I wanna hate you
I wanna hate you
Eviscerate you
I'm no fool
You used me like a tool
I wanna hate you
