I made myself strong by getting my skin numb and loosening up the thumbs by pumpin' out the black tar water I made myself real by rippin' up magazines and staving off disease by pumpin' out the black tar water I made my friends leave with tightrope at the knees and laughin' when they sneeze I'm thrown' up the black tar black tar water I start to tell it wrong by singing' in a song when robbers held up guns they shootin' out the black tar water drippin' off follicles seepin' out my pores fillin' up my lungs oh my my drippin' off follicles seepin' out my pores fillin' up my lungs oh my black tar water my black tar water my black tar water my black tar water black tar water

I thought you were the golden god I thought you were my relatives deceased the sound of all this burnin' up in our first atmosphere in our first atmosphere fear fear fearful noise fear fear fearful noise fear fear fearful noise Are you a show off crocodile are you a windmill blade are you the future paradise are you a noxious place are you a noxious place Are a siren calling out are the end of days are you the bells of freedom or warning they are here our warning they are here fear fear fearful noise fear fear fearful noise fear fear fearful noise fear fear fearful noise fear fear fearful noise fear fear fearful noise fear fear

I hold my back like I'm carryin' a country I hold my breath so I don't catch what you carry I hold my hands waiting' for an honorary degree I hold my ribs hoping' they aren't empty they aren't empty think now think long and hard are you good or are you hard to reach think now think long and hard are your words as good as they deserve you've been doin' it to yourself -what you know you gotta get it from the bottom of your heart you've been makin' all this worse -what you know you know I fill my journal with the phrase you are not good enough I fill my mouth with the first thing I can think of I fill my waking hours with seasons of another person's life I fill my head with the moments I would never re-live twice think now think long and hard are you good or are you good enough think now think long and hard is your work for anyone but you you've been doin' it to yourself -what you know you gotta get it from the bottom of your heart you've been makin' all this worse -what you know you know you know STOP STOP -ok

They're flexin' Texas while we sweet-dream ourselves diggin' grave sites in the front yard slap pommade on your sweet little grandfather wish daughters on your daughters inevitable inhabited bodies won't be habitable no no emptied like the theater inevitable inhabited bodies won't be habitable no no emptied like revolver we're mingling and it's tingling our genitalia download all your best intensions licking wounds and bending spoons with our telekinesis we'll stay up just to watch her inevitable inhabited bodies won't be habitable no no emptied like the theater inevitable inhabited bodies won't be habitable no no emptied like, like revolver the light will fall out your eyes the wind will blow out your mouth but we got a match and bellows to bring you right back We're flexin' Texas while we sweet-dream ourselves We're flexin' Texas while we sweet-dream ourselves We're flexin' Texas while we sweet-dream ourselves Inevitable!

Old maid 02:59
I stay up late mending shirts and rinsing plates we had out for your birthday I rub my body against the banister and focus my thoughts on the subtlety of your snore I don't wanna wake the household I don't wanna shake in my morals I don't know anymore if this body has the same allure if your mind drifts off when you close your eyes I don't know anymore if my constant insisting insisting we shake things up has kept your attention I rise with the first light tuck in my good and whisper it's alright to my heart still in dreamland I turn the shower all the way cold hold in my noises and exercise control I don't wanna wake the household I don't wanna shake in my morals I don't know anymore if my lipstick has the same allure if my hair done up catches any eyes I don't know anymore If my constant insisting demanding we try new things has kept your attention

At the bottom of a cave Lookin' for the day seeping' in keep my hands on the line keep my eyes open all the time underwater so much pushing' in lookin' for any sign of anything arm propellers crashin' into nothin' forever I don't remember which way's upside upside I don't remember which way's out My thoughts are heavying with doubt I don't remember which way's upside upside I don't remember which way's out My mask is heavying with water Don't want to slow the chaos yet sink like a silver dollar in a moment things will all make sense forever I don't remember which way's upside upside I don't remember which way's out My thoughts are heavying with doubt (I don't remember, I don't remember) I don't remember which way's upside upside I don't remember which way's out My mask is heavying with water
