Allowed Aloud

I showed up naked to work
It’s a health and safety hazard
Please don’t come any closer
Or could you please put on a shirt
So I don’t have to avert my eyes
Oh sure
It’s a metaphor for self disclosure (indecent exposure)
But it’s not allowed aloud, allowed aloud, allowed
But it’s not allowed aloud, allowed aloud, allowed
I wear a full suit of armor
To sit in the armchair
I keep to myself I don’t need to share
Oh we don’t need to go there
I’d like to stay
Right here
It’s a metaphor for self disclosure
But it’s not allowed aloud, allowed aloud, allowed
But it’s not allowed aloud, allowed aloud, allowed…

Chew me up and then please spit me out
The water is so high, and yet there’s still a drought
Glass is half full but I pour it out
Fuck the silver lining, I don’t need to be smiling now
In the privacy of my house, I can freak out
I haven’t gotten high in a really long time
Cuz the last time I tried, I couldn’t come down
When these anxieties they get to me
I zipped my lip so I cannot speak
Don’t think I can move, don’t think I can breath
Don’t say my name please don’t touch me
I’ve washed my hands a thousand times
But they still aren’t clean, I still feel green
I hate this place please leave me be
Just drive me home or leave me in the streets
How long till this nausea’s passed?
How long till we get back
to normal? We regret to inform you
Delay in your flight
Tomorrow you’ll leave but you’ll stay the night
Not as advertised, this is not alright
I’m taking a different airline next time
Horizontal, I have become two dimensional
I’m happy being square, laying on the floor in my underwear
Let’s go outside, to get some air
I’ll run into the forest, nobody will find me in there
I’m making friends with the ocean
Chew me up and then please spit me out
The water is so high, and yet there’s still a drought
Glass is half full but I pour it out
Fuck the silver lining, I don’t need to be smiling now
I don’t need to be smiling now
I don’t need to be smiling now

Slide

The mice are in the house I know
I guess I’ll let myself out
I can never get to comfortable
Why can’t there always be a couch
Lay me down
Lay me down
Infinite comforting
I can never get it, never get it, never get it
Infinite comforting
I can never get it, never get it, never get it
Infinite comforting
I can never get it, never get it, never get it
Infinite comforting
I can never get it, never get it, never get it, never get it, never get it…
Frictionless (I’m starting to slide) surfaces
I (I’m starting to slide) can never stay in place
Frictionless (I’m starting to slide) surfaces
I’ll just (I’m starting to slide) slide away

Tired
03:19
|
|||
I haven’t done a thing in weeks
I miss my routine
I could get off my ass, and do it all by myself
But I need somebody to make me
I wanna be wild but I don’t want to leave the house
I don’t like staying in, but I don’t like going out
I could get off my ass, and do it all by myself
But I need somebody to make me
If I’m tired all summer
And I’m tired all winter
Then maybe I’m just tired
If I’m tired all summer
And I’m tired all winter
Then maybe I’m just tired

Get Smart

I’m Bill Murray stuck in a tree
Please come talk to me
It’s a lonesome state of being
Please don’t leave me
I don’t feel animate anymore
I’m just a possession
So possess me
Will me to breath
So possess me
Take me underwater, I need the silence to scream
The pressure at the bottom is heavy
Put me on a plane, just to release me out the window
I’m falling through the sky
Can you catch me?
Can you save me?
Kiss me and kick me
Can you save me?
I changed my identity for you
I grew and shrank three sizes
I changed my everything for you
How could you betray me like this?

Hot Air Balloon
03:19

I think we might have got scammed
In this hot air balloon I don’t know how to land
We’ll be out of gas soon
With these parachutes I don’t know how to use
It’s my own damn fall
Hopping out my bucket
The winds an SUV and
I’m a stop sign obstructed
The driver couldn’t see me
I guess it’s my own damn fault
Why can’t I speak my mind?
Why do I have to hide?
Bottled up and kept it inside
I know the place
You don’t need to where to lie
I know the way
I don’t need to open up my eyes
I know the day
I don’t need to check the time
Give me some space
So I can spread my wings and fly
High above my balloon
It’s a fire ant in the cities pantaloons
Admiring my arson
I’m superman abandoning my platoon
My vessel
My crew
Oh what did I do
Oh what did I do

Timid

Hide away, save a space
For me, I wanna be included
I’ll wait, I might not participate
But I’d love to be invited
Startling, questioning my abilities
And it hurts to be forgotten
Always, I could use some encouragement
I’m a little bit timid
It’s hard to make my needs known
I don’t wanna be abandoned
It’s hard to make my needs known
I don’t wanna be a burden

Take Care
03:15
|
|||
When I was a big kid I read a lot of self help books
They said sadness is a choice, it’s a decision that you make
It was empowering for me, that I could choose to be happy
When I got a little older I learned that nothing really matters
Why worry about a thing, when it’s nothing
I lived care free, and that made me happy
But now, I have a lot to care about
Sometimes I get sad, when the things I care about don’t work out
Don’t work out
It’s okay to be sad sometimes, It’s okay to care so much that you cry
Sometimes
Sometimes…
