Chained to an anchor it’s pulling me under this is so deep it’s getting darker breath in deep I can’t reach the surface I know this is where I’ll die if I can’t reach the surface can I see you again in your dreams you said or when one of us is dead hold you in my arms again I don’t care if you’re there I don’t care if you’re there kiss kiss I hope you still dream of me like I dream of you I’ll be with you again asleep and safe from your goodbyes away from your eyes I swear if you let me kiss you one last time I’ll be alright I’ll be alright I’ll be alright I’ll be alright I can’t keep this together I can’t stay here forever I’ll see you in my dreams

CONTROL MONUMENTAL

This is monumental ripped at the seams this is the one thing invading my dreams I can’t even feel it terrifies me I think it could kill me I’m in too deep lost in this motion and you can’t go back crossing this ocean you believed you believed in me control your ego control your fascist sense control your best lines leave a line to the rest of the world this is an explosion we’re deaf from this sound blind from the fanfare there’s no one around something is broken you promised a crack a code and it’s open this combination is hack this is a muse an anchor this is monumental it’s the rest we must impress you confessed it was just a guess and if you break down you will sink and drown the rest you guessed would follow control your ego control your fascist sense control your best lines leave a line to the rest of the world somewhere there’s a sound a deafening sound to make you come around somewhere under ground to bring you back down you can’t hold us down you will never get out of this control your ego control your fascist sense control your best lines leave a line to the rest of the world

ART

I miss all my old friends as they were before I miss all the cities as they were before I miss all the daytimes spent with some old friends but I know everything must end you live like shit and suffer for your art… is that what you call it is that what you call it? she said you live like shit and suffer for your art… is that what you call it is that what you call it? that’s messed up and it’s fucking depressing how much of this must you put up with and how times do I have to say stay away? and how many friends must I go through and how many lies must I put you through you live like shit and suffer for your art… is that what you call it is that what you call it? It wouldn’t be art if you didn’t starve yourself to death she said it wouldn’t be art if you didn’t starve yourself to death she said that’s messed up and it’s fucking depressing when was the last time that you’ve seen the sun and I don’t mean at sunset when you’re just waking up and I don’t mean at sunrise when you’re still up from the night before when was the last time that you felt good as deep as you are through hours of my time and minutes of daylight glimpse yourself thin pale soft and white and sick as hell live like shit and suffer for your art is that what you call it is that what you call it she said you live like shit and suffer for your art is that what you call it is that what you call it she said and that’s messed up and it’s fucking depressing

TOKYO (she’s leaving today)

Under a blanket in my apartment with no heat cause I’m still broke she thinks that’s a good thing she says it keeps me real and grounded and hungry for something better she says I don’t sit around and wait for things to happen but she doesn’t see me when she’s not around me my head in my hands her eyes in my head specks of green light and yellow like the sun the sun comes through the window and hits my face this last night fades away from me “we’re dying together… I’ll love you forever” she said she’s leaving today she’s going away

UNLIMITED

The only thing that’s left at all the only thing I feel anymore the only way to be at all the only way to get some sleep the only way you’d look at me it’s there when you are not and you are never there for very long when you’re gone and friends aren’t friends at all it’s the only way I know it’s the only way I know the only thing I have at all the only thing I have at all the only thing I have at all the only thing I have at all it’s there when you are not and you are never there when you’re gone friends aren’t friends for very long it’s the only way I know
