Ramen

Two tons of tonsils couldn't stop this tin, even on ramen.
Lap it up, lap it up, lap it up, lap it up until it's over.
Can fill tummies for now but, what a shame living on ramen.
Load it up, shovel up, Shovel up, momma put the catsup on the plate.
I miss chicken and what it tasted like before we didn't have enough.
When there was love in the ov.
When there was love, when there was love.
What happened to you?
What's our metaphor?
"Crawl all over the sun"
Means nothing but it sounded like it fit.
I'll leave you the gun for you or I to turn it on.
I'll let you decide, is it you or I?
Watch our step, we're slipping on blood of the dead on our way out
of a dying city.
No one has an idea how it started.
Not a clue, no one even saw it coming.
Soon we'll eat our bones and beat our own.

Cat Calls

Kind of odd sounding love
Sounding odd kind of love
Oh, it's in the motions
You know you move like that, don't you!
it's why I do what I do.
How can I be, here, at fault?
How can you blame me at all?
I didn't dress you.
C'mon, you know what you got.
I'd say you kind of like it.
Did your daddy allow you to go out,
or was your daddy around at all?
A superficial boy needs a superficial woman.
Say my name.
Tell the boys "knock that off".
I see you don't like their cat calls.
I think you could be happier.
Everyone would love to look like you do.
I can't afford to fuck off.
How can I make so much noise?
Our love is toxic but, stupid me, I'm just a lonely boy left here on my own.
Lock the door and go hide your daughter.
Oh, that's just boys being boys as to decoy all the gay away.
Say my name.
Say my name.
Say my name.
Say my.

Brush it Off

A cannon ball at the pool, showing off when I should be coming up to you.
I finally think I got enough balls to say hello without coughing up my soup with my buddies on. Oh my God! Why did I think it wasn't wrong?
Why did I wear these shoes? Because it's all wrong. But I have to be strong and true, oh God, so true. I got to be myself.
I gotta brush it all off. All these things I say inside my head need to shut up for a couple seconds. "No, no no I don't wanna do it. No, I just want to say hello."
Driving home on the road. I think I'm gonna turn this boat on to your window.
It's getting late and, I think, about that time for you to be taking of your clothes. Woah Woah Woah Woah Woah.
Oh, girl I fall to much but you don't know. I think it ends maybe soon if I ever blow my cover. Like dropping from this tree. But it's such a good view so I can't say nothin baby.
Oh you don't even know I'm alive but I keep on wanting you every night. One of these days though I'm getting closer and closer to ramming your door and tying you up.
I've got my own way of letting you know just what I think.
I've got to have you on my plate.
If there's a feeling that you have shake it off, it's just me. Only me.
I came to save you with a knife in the night. It's just me. Only me consuming you.
I gotta brush it all off. All these things I say inside my head, like just how much I wanna chew on your face. You're so pretty baby.
I can't play it off any longer than I have to blow.
Just get on my plate.
I got to brush it all off.
Can you save it up, a bucket of your skin and I think i'm gonna put in milk and taste it in tiny little bites.
You're so sweet and spicy like a mix baby.
I can't believe the way you mix it up and fix it up and bring it up and mix it up and fix it up and bring it up.

Say Yeah
04:05

It's been good so far having you here to listen to our every word
and laugh all that you can as hard as the days were.
Some day soon there wont be bruises. But before then it gets bad.
Much much worse.
If you ask me "is it worth it" I'd say "sure".
If you ask me "is is worth it" I'd say "yeah".
We will drop bombs and go to bed with a clear heart and a stopped tummy ache.
If you ask me "is it worth it" I'd say "yeah"
If you ask me "is it first on the list", I'd say "yeah"
Needed a minute to come down. I've known better.
If you managed to get through this, I'd say "yeah".
But what if you needed the meat off of my body?
I'd say "yeah".

Seven Mouths to Feed
04:58

Hey, baby it's over. I'me waiting for the end of the world. Gonna be some good cooking to tease me.
I hit the point in the night and even paid my dues. I see you and I can be you, baby seven times.
I've got a big ol pile of that raw meat. I put it all on the fire for you baby, seven times. These are the last days.
Head strong but I need to be. I got mouths to feed and, baby you look good to eat. Live long. I'll go on but, honey your time will come. I got you on my knee as long as I got mouths to feed.
This is the best thing I ever needed. I could have prayed to see God, instead I thought of feeding.
Celebrate you life by your demise. Sever ties with all that you hold on. Try to hide all the feeling in your eyes. Hold on. Try to be strong.
Seven times, these are the last days. Head strong. Last days, head strong. Head strong.
Wash your name off. Cross your feet.

Prudent (Spineless)
08:48
|

|
I've been taking it as it's given.
Left beside and picked over by the fools.
Don't tell me it's for my own good.
Don't tell me it's better if I didn't fight.
You can't pull me from my element.
What are you afraid I'll do.
It's not prudent.
How dare you?
How dare you?
