It’s so hard
All in and my life is so unsafe
Fear why...
If only I had known my soul would break
Feel...
Belial my advisor
You drop me my meat
My syntax will chafe
In the false of your means
(This one last time that I see you walk the stage
And at night I will be just a bug light...)
Can this be the one last time
That I see you walk the stage
And at night I will be just a bug light
Touching you in your sleep
Can this be the one last time
That I see you walk the stage
Every night I will be everywhere
Touching you in your dreams
I will obey you
Ah, ah
I will obey you
I will fill my hollow in the basement
And there it will hold me, cold and large
Inside my friend I’ll find balance
And I will leave my film on all I know, all I know
See what I have made has now encased me
At times I can’t remember who I was
They’ll be all my friends
There’ll be no more starch

Tendon, lovey
Tendon, lovey
Tendon, lovey
Tendon, lovey
Tendon, lovey
Tendon, lovey
Tendon, lovey
Tendon, lovey
Oh, you can do it
You can do it
Tender lovey
(Satan, Satan)
Tender lovey
(Tendon, Tendon)
Tender lovey
(Satan, Satan, who’s Tendon?)
Tender lovey
(Tendon, Tendon, who’s Satan?)

Taking its time
I only wanted to begin again
With eyes on edge
I want to begin the laugh again
So I’ll attach my mind
To places I will go and there I am
I’ll be there
I’ll be damned
I will praise my mind
Before the red gods say their line
I will praise my mind
Till they taste my hair
Some day you’ll descend
The loveliest girl I never met
We can do it right or we can do it ten more times
What do you believe
I never believed in love, oh
‘Cause love never believed in me
‘Cause love never believed in me
Fifteen forever
I will be fifteen forever
I will be fifteen forever
I will be fifteen forever
I will be fifteen forever
I will be fifteen forever
I will be fifteen forever
I will be fifteen forever
A boy of fifteen I will be

Teacher, teach me in maternal binges
While I blend and drink my pillow
Teacher, teach me in maternal binges
While I blend and drink my pillow
Look again
Bring me your tablespoons
I will drink your juice and croon
Standing on my head
Looking for my animals
Radish-eating animals
Sucking at the chode of Jesus and his discipline
Baby are you out or in
Verily, verily, verily, verily, verily, verily, verily, verily
Verily, verily, verily, verily, verily, verily, verily, verily

Alone All This Time

Rabbit rake the walls
Rabbit rake the salt
But he wants to lick the salt
More than anybody else
When you wolfed it down
You can like it best
What you want to take
From the treasure chest
Rose
He likes the rose
But he likes the salt better
He likes the salt better
Must you make me choose
What I like the best
I would choose cocaine
Over anybody’s sex
Must you make me choose
What I like the best
I would choose cocaine
Over anybody’s sex
You’ll find me singing my heart out
Alone in the basement all this time
I’m down in the basement chewing arms off
I like it too much
You can’t find me outside in the weather
I’m lonely and everybody’s gone
We all know that he just likes it so much
Who’s the rabbit on your arm
Rabbit...
Must you make me choose
What I like the best
I would choose cocaine
Over anybody’s sex
Is the winter...
Is the winter getting desperate for you
All night, all night
To be with my llello
I like me all alone, all alone (it’s very fun)
The light broke here where I am standing
But you want me down inside alone
I’m the one trilling in the basement
(I’m always gonna be alone now)
I like it too much
(I’m always gonna be alone)
I’m all alone, sometimes I know it
(I’m always gonna be alone now)
I love myself more than them
(I’m always gonna be alone)
I’m always acting like a kid
(I’m always gonna be alone)
It’s all in the procreation
(Alone, alone)
(Bye, bye, Tender Lovey)

I won’t seem like a beautiful lantern
Just a cage with no back
All my days are spent feeding to my bed time
In a bed drawn with maps
I can’t wait till we both feel the pardon
And our life will take flight
All the skies light up
Hopeful they will take me
I’m escaping the cancer of our time
I will be with you soon, oh yeah
Sun wasn’t ever moon
Sun wasn’t ever moon, oh no
Before I held onto you
On the edge when the flies are in the oven
All I know is that I like it a lot
I’ll be inching my wormy little way down
Plant both feet on the ground
I will be with you soon, oh yeah
You’re everyone else times two
Sun wasn’t ever moon, oh no
Before I held onto you

Sun is breathing out
I don’t wanna know what I would do without
Sun is breathing out
I don’t wanna know what I would do without
Sun is breathing out
I don’t wanna know what I would do without
(I don’t want everybody out)
(I don’t want everybody out)
