I'm not impressed I'm not twelve Get off my my lack of lawn Do you think I'm going to hell? Don't worry, I won't tell Television makes me numb Pessimism Pessimism makes me dumb Makes me fun Makes me run Makes me dumb I'm not impressed I'm not twelve Get off my my lack of lawn Do you think I'm going to hell? Don't worry, I won't tell Television makes me numb Pessimism Pessimism makes me dumb Makes me fun Makes me run Makes me dumb And I don't want to think about my life

Fuck Marry Kill: Me, Myself, and I Have got my best friend by my side In her I've got a lot of pride There's a stain on her blouse It represents me fucking up my best friends house Imbalances in my bloodstream Hemoglobin or something But I know I can't blame biology Words and actions make me me I believe my will is free Newspapers are failing but the wrapping paper industry is doing great So I turn the other page Again, what's my age? What's my age? Newspapers are failing but the wrapping paper industry is doing great So I turn the other cheek Imagine Shabby Chic Shabby Chic

Walking with my head down I can see my feet stepping on the ground A crooked one points the way to town Treading with my mouth tight I can feel my teeth drifting out of sight A loose one falls down the wrong pipe A cross threaded bolt attaches my head to my neck and everything from the ground up My teeth are ground up With a little trouble you can unscrew my head And stick the tube down Down my neck now Stick the tube down Down my neck that is a well in the ground Misusing nouns Racketeering sounds to disturb the whole town An eye messing with my head Don't use contractions Words can affect you and your actions Engage with life reading the captions I have faith that blast beats Give you gumption to get off your feet Play through story mode without the cheats A cross threaded bolt attaches my head to my neck and everything from the ground up My teeth are ground up With a little trouble you can unscrew my head And stick the tube down Down my neck now Stick the tube down Down my neck that is a well in the ground Misusing nouns Racketeering sounds to disturb the whole town An eye messing with my head

Sad Clown 02:45
There’s a stain on the carpet Doesn’t mean I forfeit My right to choose how many times I hit snooze before I see There’s something on the table It feels like I saw it on cable It’s been blurred out George and Martha Swam in the backyard Now they don’t come around At least they don’t make a sound before I see There’s something on the table It feels like I saw it on cable It’s been blurred out Sad clown checks out of a weird looking hotel Now he’s in a different town spending pound after pound He looks around He looks at the ground Void found in the roof of his mouth Now he needs a crown x 7 George and Martha Swam in the backyard Now they don’t come around At least they don’t make a sound before I see There’s something on the table It feels like I saw it on cable It’s been blurred out

Softball 02:57
I toss my underwhelming overhand I through my overwhelming underhandedly "I shop therefore I am" what I am and that's all that I am Your hands are pretty clammy They feel like a hundred bucks We are so cool We pay attention to detail "I shop therefore I am" what I am and that's all that I am Your hands are pretty clammy They feel like a hundred bucks If you catch my drift, it's a big fat softball x 5

Prologues 02:52
I never read the prologues or introductions Let's get to the good stuff Don't mess with my interpretation If you talk about yourself then you're selfish If you talk about someone else, well then mind your own business What's so cool about the night sky? I think starlight's kinda lame You know you see more starlight in the day? Cause the sun is a star Boy I'm so smart Boy I'm so smart Anyone can play with words But can you make the words work for you I can't even use my mouth I've got a couple of canker sores The most profound moments I can't remember The most profound moments I can't remember

Gobstopper 03:12
My hands aren't clammy anymore No my hands they are dry and chapped Smelling good smells worse than smelling bad But these hands are the best hands I've ever had My lie bone's connected to my truth bone And my thumbs are connected to my phone Sometimes I just wish I'd stop my gob Gotta go to sleep, gotta go to sleep, gotta quit my job

Information out slow but he needs to know Not sure why I think that But wide eyed I felt that Leave it alone there cause he doesn't care Might as well stay here cause I need to prepare 18 memories in my brain and I can't complain I know why I think that Cause wide-eyed I should feel that Make sure your suits clean cause you're gonna need When you find out, the train's just left now Wide-eyed I felt that x 3 I know why I felt that Cause wide-eyed I should feel that Take a load off Annie and take a load for free The line between states There lies the proverbial Weight

My sweatshirt is still wet And I may have left it in my backpack all day There was so much to subtract it left me nonplussed But it might be still there Wet markers mark things Good advice from a disembodied voice A thin partition occupies the space between two states Approach the threshold and then you surface I'm not an actor but I play one on TV And the part might be still there It's got something to do with me I think that I should go ahead and waste my time Through clementines or my eyes I will find a rind to unwind
