Woah Is Me

Wooooooah is me
Has your ego been protecting you?
Or just surrounding you swooning in fear?
You can’t please everyone
But you can sure piss a lot of them off
When it’s so sad you hate to see it
But more than that you love it, too
You can’t rip off what I already gave ya
But, hey, surprises are ok when nothing really matters
Woooooah is me
Do this so I get excited
Do that so I won’t be let down
The picture I painted of myself
Might not be the one you see
Like a children’s book, so easy to read
Unless I guess you’re just a child that is
Never thought I should be born again›
Hey, if I really wanted to die I’d already be dead
Why you over there trying to poison my mojo
Woah

Asshole Eyes

Here come them asshole eyes, baby
He got them asshole eyes
He got them asshole eyes
He got them asshole eyes
I don’t like ya, refuse to hate ya
We’re all chained to the graveyard, baby
It takes a village to make the idiot
You are what happens to you
He got them asshole eyes, oh oh oh
He got them asshole eyes
They got them asshole eyes
He got them asshole eyes
So many people don’t want redemption
They’ll tell ya something is unforgivable
So there’s no reason to ever change
And so it never does
They got them asshole eyes, hey hey hey
He got them asshole eyes
They got them asshole eyes
He got them asshole eyes
If you think you can’t be what you’re trying real hard to be
I want you to know that I believe in ya, buddy
A revolution’s no longer radical
There are so many that everyone’s got one
Your revolutions, they happen so fast
You can’t complete the change
So, rest them asshole eyes, baby
Look at them asshole eyes
They got them asshole eyes
You got them asshole eyes

Are all my friends gonna be strangers?
Is someone gonna save me ‘cause I can’t?
I’m just trying to be a good dude
Just trying not to die blue
But all my trauma keeps hangin’ around
I never really forget, but I always remember
Reflection bounces you back to right where you are
I’m just trying to fit in
Where I let myself in
But all my trauma keeps takin’ me out
I guess you win some and lose the rest
My imagination is nothing but truth to me
My truth is only mine and yours I can’t see
Now the only thing left for me
Is to rebel against reality
But all my trauma keeps hangin’ around
I’m just trying to be a good dude
Just trying not to die blue
I guess you win some and lose the rest

I watched you fighting
I didn’t love you, but it’s beautiful
‘Cause now I recognize your purpose was beyond me
Now I want you to know that the beauty I see
Is the rebellion you're not looking for an excuse for
I guess I must’ve died
Somewhere up in heaven
‘Cause see, my heart turns cold
But I’m hot as fuck all over everywhere else
We’ll find a way to make a way out of no way or fake it ‘til it’s finally over
Am I supposed to care so much
I didn’t make the rules
I’m not even sure there’s supposed to be any
I guess that’s just how it goes when you grow up with Michael Jordan, PJ Harvey, Dennis Rodman, Kurt Cobain… people like that
Well guess what?
Nike don’t love you, Mtv don’t love you
They just tryin’ to sell you something you can’t afford
They’ll make your depression look cool if they have to
Right, Ali? He said this
The whole thing’s crumbling down and you just sit there trying to sell your chump ass on the same damn thing that got you sick in the first place
We never cross the line
Enough to win or die
‘Cause they just keep moving it forward
One step ahead on us
We’ll find a way to make a way out of no way or fake it ‘til it’s finally over
Am I supposed to care so much
Y’all stop tryin’ to be your idols
They’re the ones that told you that
Start doin’ what’s now
And stop bullshittin’ your fake romantic past
We’ll find a way to make a way out of no way or fake it ‘til it’s finally over
Am I supposed to care so much
Am I supposed to care so much

Wakin' Up
03:40
|

I once had an idea, but I woke from the dream
And I stepped on the light bulb to see if I could feel
It’s so hard waking up, but not as hard as it is holding onto something that isn’t real
Wrote it down to remember it
Did you throw up? When it came back, did it take the words from your mouth?
Did it show you who’s boss when you took the day off?
Did it squeegee your third eye when you went down South?
Is it supposed to be beautiful or just the way you see it?
Is the way to love hard or is it hard enough?
Are the answers all clear, or is acceptance just a way out?
Do you fake it ‘til you make, or are you just acting tough?
Does it hurt when you need it?
Does it bleed when you touch it?
Does it matter when you mean it?
Does it work when you believe it?
Do you get a chill, and don’t it make you wanna chill?
Do you get a chill, and don’t it make you wanna chill?
Do you get a chill, and don’t it make you wanna chill?
Do you get a chill, and don’t it make you wanna chill?
Like a spaceship looking for a meaning on a planet
That has evolved in revolutionary seconds
Like an angry robot seeing red with no nuance
You work yourself blind ‘til you no longer see the light

It’s super being blue when it finds you
You feel so much that you could never be bored
And that’s a fact, but there ain’t no facts when you’re ignored
It’s black and white, but it’s a rainbow
Its “I love you” one too many times
Still hangin’ on, til it’s been too long
To be ignored
Now everything you’ve learned
It’s what you’ve earned, so what’s in store?
Real bad sad, real bad sad, real bad sad, real bad sad, real bad sad, real bad sad, real bad sad, real bad
It’s super being blue, then it’s behind you
There are no valleys or peaks anymore
Don’t get too high, don’t get too low
So I wonder, woah woah
If I’m blessed or pleasantly depressed

Jeanie's Legs
03:20
|

You’re reading Jeanie’s letters
She says she’s feeling better
Says she likes to cry
Turn on your light, Gemini
You wish you’d never met her
See her in the window
Looking down on San Francisco
Saying she’s been here before
Walking through the crystal store
On legs just like black widow’s
She sent you back your red dress
Hopes it brings you happiness
How long will she go on in a letter that’s nine pages long?
You burned before you finished
And who cares where the time goes?
You’ll sleep until tomorrow
And dream of better days
As Jeanie’s legs have walked away
From you and all your sorrows
Doo doo doo da doo doo doo
Doo doo doo da doo doo doo
All the things I wanted to say I didn’t even have to say them at all
If I’m blessed or pleasantly depressed

I wanna say I can feel your pain
‘Cause misery loves company
That’s why you got so many friends
But you won’t hear me ‘cause it’s just what I’m sayin’
No one knows just how you feel
But you got me to let me know how you do
Is this the death of a last man standing
Go on and sniff the nose right off your face
Special boy, look how far you haven’t come
Special boy, little Dirtbike runnin’ from your Daddy’s gun
Oh, it ain’t what they call you
It’s what you answer to
I didn’t mean to ruin your experience
But unfortunately mine has done that for you
Special boy, look how far you haven’t come
Special boy, little Dirtbike runnin’ from your Daddy’s gun
Remember when you had it to live for
The victim inside you would find a way
To make an excuse to live
And for your habits to welcome another day
Light a fire and then get bored with it
Go on and sniff the nose right off your face
Special boy, look how far you haven’t come
Special boy, little Dirtbike runnin’ from your Daddy’s gun

In the night there is no turning
Back to our first beginning
All that’s left is a flashback ending
That we can’t see ‘cause it’s never ending
Let’s toss the phone and leave all hope behind
Running after things that we can’t have
No pain as long as we’re escaping
And no shame if we just keep moving
Don’t let your hunger die, Don’t let your hunger die, Don’t let your hunger die
It’s only keeping you alive
Remember when I first saw you
You were then and there across the room
Glitter, lights, eyes, and moonbeams
And the silence of hanging on to a dream
Somewhere in the night inside the haze
I watched a mirror show you a lie
It’s so hard when there’s nothing to hang onto
But it’s so easy letting go when you’re super blue
Don’t let your hunger die, Don’t let your hunger die, Don’t let your hunger die
It’s only keeping you alive
It’s only keeping you alive, It’s only keeping you alive, Don’t let your hunger slide
I know it takes your breath away
To believe that this all began
You’re excited now and wondering why
Maybe it’s because we’re all running out of time
Don’t let your hunger die, Don’t let your hunger die, Don’t let your hunger die
It’s only keeping you alive
It’s only keeping you alive, It’s only keeping you alive, Don’t let your hunger slide

Born as fuck, born as fuck
Don’t be so blue
Thugs ruling the earth
Ain’t nothing new
Born as fuck
One foot out of the womb
One foot in the tomb
Sometimes it’s so hard just to give a damn
That might turn you off, but hey I don’t give a damn
‘Cause no one’s right and everyone is so plugged in
I got my own fight, but I let you in again
Born as fuck, born as fuck
Don’t be so blue
Thugs ruling the earth
Ain’t nothing new
Born as fuck
One foot out of the womb
One foot in the tomb
See you dancin’ all alone in your very own apocalypse
How hard is it to forget that that’s what it takes to forget
Death on the inside, or the outside, or internet
They got you now, your cell phone is the new cigarette
Born as fuck, born as fuck
Don’t be so blue
Thugs ruling the earth
Ain’t nothing new
Born as fuck
One foot out of the womb
One foot in the tomb

Deep Caveman

I saw you yesterday
I see you’ve been working on things
How’s it going for you?
Does it bother you?
‘Cause it bothers me to believe when I see anything
That I believe is true
When I’m the center of a world so blue
Every time you’re smiling
I see it setting you up
For a sadness that you’ve know so long to bury it and fill your cup
‘Cause that feels right
Just a deep caveman with ancient wisdom
In a fool’s paradise
Teardrops behind sunglasses in the sunshine
Secret vices to pull you through the long night
It hurts just enough to make you feel alive
But all you really want is to numb that side
Every time you’re smiling
I see it setting you up
For a sadness that you’ve know so long to bury it and fill your cup
‘Cause it feels right
Just a deep caveman with ancient wisdom
In a fool’s paradise
Every time you’re smiling
I see it setting you up
For a sadness that you’ve know so long to bury it and fill your cup
‘Cause that feels right
Just a deep caveman with ancient wisdom
In a fool’s paradise

I Wanna Meet You
04:10

I wanna meet you
Hope you don’t mind if I get to close
Worn out eyes give no surprise
And what’s behind there you know
Take me down and I’ll follow you
Lift me up and goodbye gravity
There are so many mountain tops
And you are one of thee
Where’d you go? Do you wonder, too?
You’re only there when I think about you
Which is all the time
Dancin’ on the inside
Is a spark ever really enough
It’s like having the color blue
With nothing to contrast it to
We laughed so hard about how sad I can be
Perhaps I should retire
Looking in the mirror trying to find myself
Sucks to be a vampire
Where’d you go? Do you wonder, too?
You’re only there when I think about you
Which is all the time
I wanna see you
Hope you don’t mind if I get to close
