I never want you be
what you want to with me
if you want we can be
I never though you would say
that you hang out today
but you did that with me
I always wanted to stay
always wanted this way
but I managed to flee
there's a part of me
that always thinks he knows the way
he seems to know it all
but it doesn't have a clue or say
but hey if you want we can be
if you want we can be
if you want
we can be what you want to do with me
I never want you to be oh no
I never want you to see oh no
I never want you be
what you want to with me
if you want you can be
I never though you would say
would you hang out today
but you did that with me
I always wanted to stay
always wanted this way
but I managed to flee
there's a part of me that always thinks
he know the way it seems
to know it all away
doesn't have a clue or say but hey
doesn't know what to say but hey
if you want we can be
I never wanted you to be
what you want to be with me
if you want we can be

Side Effect

Mentally ill sick as a dog
vomiting fears cant see through the fog
Losing my will sneezing out dreams
coughing up thoughts not all it seems
Never get my fill sweating out rage
bleeding out anger turn another page
Never take my pill that they say will work
Mentally ill feeling like a jerk
My mental health has an unspecified
Dull ache that wont go away
I can’t function at all unless I am on paid vacation
Always anxious on edge
Afraid to get up and go
To open and unwrap, to start anything
I want to retire
Mentally ill sick as a dog
vomiting fears cant see through the fog
Losing my will sneezing out dreams
coughing up thoughts not all that it seems
Side effect of treatment is feeling better
Side effect of feeling better is stopping treatment
Side effect of treatment is feeling better
Side effect of feeling better is stopping treatment

So lookie here
I don't feel a thing
I took my roadkill denial skills
and now I look the other way
as 1500 people die everyday
I'm cool with vaccine,
therapy but I see suffering
but I don't fear
Die, don't feel a thing
I see healthcare workers burning out
but I don't feel a thing anymore
At first I was so excited
But now I'm bored
Worried
Afraid
Numb
Over
It
I don't care I don't care I don't care I don't care I don't care
I don't feel a fucking thing
you say 'fuck my feelings?'
I don't have any feelings left for you to fuck
and I don't care, I say I care
but I dont care, nobody cares anyway
advice form the dead

Handcrafted in Thailand

There's a thing I like to do
I don't know what it is
but it seems cool
I'm a fool
ask me now
what it is I do
I really couldn't even tell you
I lost my sense of direction
I don't know what it is
I love to do
tapestries and hats and belts
and musical instruments made with felt
and every tarot card I've ever dealt is the fool
I feel like I need to go back to school
handcrafted in Thailand, handcrafted in Thailand
But I don't want to learn new things
but I don't want to understand
not a day goes by that I don't learn
something I was completely wrong about all along
But I'm a peaceful liberal minded guy
but who is to say the part of my brain was wrong
that admits what I believed I knew something all along
are we really that much different?
hand crafted in Thailand
I feel like I need to go back to school
are we really that much different?
hand crafted in Thailand
what else will i find out about
that carried my whole life as fact
the known gospel only to discover no... no that is not true at all
not true at all
I feel like I need to go back to school
are we really that much different?
hand crafted in Thailand
are we really that different?

Listen how people use the word FAT
you can learn a lot about a person at the laundromat
Listen how people use the word SCORE
you can learn a lot about a person at the grocery store
Listen how people use the word COP
you can learn a lot about a person at a 4 way stop
Don't you ever wonder when a man survives two plane crashes
if he's causing plane crashes or is it coincidence?
Violet Jessop sinks ships
Listen how people use the word YOU
you can learn a lot about a man by how he acts at the zoo
Listen how people use the word CHEAT
you can learn a lot about a person by what they eat
Listen how people use the word SHAME
you can learn a lot about a person by who they blame
Do you think when a woman is widowed twice
that she might be killing these guys or is it happenstance?

I feel like my brain is broken.
I keep telling myself I’m sad, time is flying, I’m going blind, I’m going mad, I’m losing control, I can’t rest, relax, want, need, enjoy… I want work to end but when it does time flies and work is back again - but work is where I have purpose, where I’m expected to do shit… so I do shit. I don’t know what shit to do anymore when I’m not at work… even though there’s shit to do, I’m paralyzed.
The last thing Flea ever heard and responded to was my whistle… she flipped her little tail one last time and drifted off into permanent sleep.
I hate this shit.
I can’t function.
I feel trapped.
I need something to move me.
I waste every moment of my time off suffering through this pain…dreading work which always comes and offers a little relief because I know that’s how I get paid…
What’s it for? So I don’t die
homeless?
I need help?
Can’t ask for something if you don’t know what you’re asking for.
I don’t fucking know.
Nothing is funny anymore.
I drove in circles for 60 miles around town through neighborhoods, down by the fire.
Nothing moved me.
Nothing captured my interest or imagination.
I have paint and canvasses… new and unopened.
I have tools to work with wood.
I have a garden and animals.
Nothing sounds good.
I get hungry and eat. It makes me feel sick.
I smoke, I drink… for nothing.
I forgot what I was thinking about or doing last that had any meaning or purpose.
I have to write a bunch of procedures for work.
My brain is in a loop telling me I’m broken, malfunctioning.
It used to ask what’s wrong with me …
Now it just tells me
something’s wrong.
This sucks. boredom
I think I have a “get ready to evacuate” hangover.
That fire was scary huge.
Other than all this, it’s fine.

Desensitized
03:32

I hear music in the distance
From the bar just down the road
The boys gather round to make their plans
They speak in marvel code
It only took one moment
When greed and power realized
That all they had to do was lie
And we’d become desensitized
It only took one moment
When greed and power realized
That all they had to do was lie
And we’d become desensitized
There is madness In my mind
I think about The things around me
all of the time
How can a man who has everything he needs
Realize he’s empty
When there nothing left to want
I say I want to live forever but here I am sitting
This lazy do nothing existence
Has me paralyzed............
Motivational speakers give good advice
But my best years are behind me
Though the future seems nice
Twenty pounds of beans, twenty pounds of rice
It only took one moment
When greed and power realized
That all they had to do was lie
And we’d become desensitized
It only took one moment
When greed and power realized
That all they had to do was lie
And we’d become desensitized
desensitized
desensitized desensitized desensitized
desensitized
desensitized desensitized desensitized

You Say You Don't Care

you say you dont care what's going on there
you say you dont mind because they're not your kind
people get shot they're no your lot
so why should you care they live over there
what's your problem your a pig
you think your problems are so big
you have no heart you self centered hack
your mind is gone and you're never coming back
say you dont mind those people ain't mine
I used to care for my neighbor
but I dont know who they are anymore
I am busy keeping score
I am busy following the news
they report and I choose
the rest of you can fucking lose
what's your problem your a pig
you think your problems are so big
you have no heart you self centered hack
your mind is gone and you're never coming back
I'm hypnotized
We're paralyzed
desensitized
we dont see what's happening
people are dying
people are crying
people are lying
people are trying to figure it out
people are starving
people are suffering
people are suffering
what's your problem your a pig
you think your problems are so big
you have no heart you self centered hack
your mind is gone and you're never coming back
what are we gonna do now
this world is split in two
were gonna have a civil war
and you dont give a shit
fuck you
you say you dont care
well wait until its your kid who's shot
running there dead laying on the pavement
