scars 03:03
aren't you tired of circles what are you a monk? do you think it's karma that everything is still fucked? i met the buddha on the road and strangled him to death so let's get drunk and listen to rise against let's compare scars as we lose our clothes yours make the pollock to my rothko a kneecap shattered when i was only five across your ankles and up your thighs no don't look at them you say as you change your mind like it's a flaw like i could love you less if i tried let's get dressed and bury that body keep me company while i dig the hole in some place dark and rotted maybe it'll feel like home and when i get tired lay with me in the dirt sing the hip with me or talk like we used to of the places we'll see the things we'll do cause i'm so tired of this shit, i just wanna be in your earth i know you don't know and yeah i don't know either but why the fuck can't we not know together? life is too short for games and fate is a spook why the fuck are you so afraid of being loved? let's compare scars as we lose our clothes yours make the pollock to my rothko a kneecap shattered when i was only five across your ankles and up your thighs

flowers shrivel in winter and bloom in the spring how i ever did wonder if i ever meant a thing ashes to ashes and dust to dust you swore that you loved me but only just i dont know why you made it seem that everything was okay when you were with me then all of a sudden out of the blue you made me live a life, without you ashes to ashes and dust to dust you swore that you loved me but only just

the shepherd 04:31
you said I could never love you the way that you love me I think that's true cause god knows I'm dead inside if god is the shepherd then what is his cane? and if god is the shepherd then what is his cane? is it the look in your eyes as we lie down is it the price of rent in vancouver and jesus was a lonely man I wanna live in someone else's home cause god knows I can't make my own I'll get bored and wanna watch it burn yeah I get down and want to burn it all and ravachol was a lonely man yeah ravachol was a lonely man

barren earth 01:41
you're waiting for the stars to go cold the fraser to run dry for these trees to turn to coal our only sun to die cause then it'll be just you and I floating through a void of silk and sighs having fitful dreams of this awful life from our sad cocoon in the night sure go ahead and vote for trump fuck the future sign that loan there's nowhere to go but up I'm sure one day you'll feel at home if you come and drink with me on top of baker as it begins to rock we'll drown the world in pabst and ash magma to replace all its hate no one left to talk politics no more fear to propagate cause then it'll be just you and I smoking on like the barren earth having fitful dreams of this awful life in our sad cocoon of the night
