From the Slime
03:10
|
|||
|
Born covered in slime
I come from the curb
Thrown by the wayside
Keep my gutter mouth
Quiet as a mouse
Don’t wanna get kicked
Out of the house again
But I will if I have to
Don’t get me wrong
I still work like I used to
With some tricks up my sleeve
It’s the type of thing you gotta be to believe
I come from the slime
And here I am
I’ve said it before and I could say it again
But I find myself asking what’s the point?
It rolls off the tongue like I’m rolling a joint

Exoskeleton

Become what I hate
In so many ways
Exoskeleton
Gets me what I need and then some
Exoskeleton
I'm not myself
Exoskeleton
Easy to slip in and out of
Exoskeleton
I’m not myself
In this layer of skin
I’m who I need to be to get by
What can I say?
Call it a day

Keep Your Head On
02:15
|
|||
|
Creep sitting in the dark
Waiting for the lightswitch to flip on
Turn it back off
Eyes dilate
Back out the door before it’s too late
Keep your head on
You gotta keep it
'Cause I’m a different animal
So incomprehensible
Instead of keeping my head

Loading Shells
02:13
|
|||
|
I got ideas
My wildest dreams
Burning up in the sun
Riding shotgun, loading shells
Counting down to blast off
I finally pimped my ride
Waited since 2005
If you want it done right
Gotta do it your damn self
Nobody needs to know
What you’re waiting for
They’ll leave you behind and wanting more
If you want it done right
You don’t want it left on the to do list

One Trick Pony

One trick pony
Never has been
People don’t know your name
But you act like they should say it
Again and again
People don’t give you the time of day
But you act like they should spend it
All over you
Do you really want it all over you?
One trick pony
Always have been
Do you really wanna be a roadside attraction
With the tourists spitting all over you?
Do you really want it all over you?

Unholiday
02:37
|

|
I’ve been on holiday
Coming back on an aeroplane
Should’ve stayed one more day
But I let responsibility get the best of me
Could have been in ecstacy
Now I’m on the runway
I need to run away
Let’s get away
On unholiday, gotta get back to the grind
On unholiday, gotta get there on time
Gotta turn it on on a dime
And we do it for the peace of mind
Unholiday, back to the grind
When did we decide we would live our lives
Making money for the man?
I can’t recall the day we said that’s okay
Now I’m stuck making money for the man
He got the best of me
Should have been in ecstacy
Now I’m on the runway
About to run away
Let’s get away

Dead on the Asphalt
02:15
|
|||
|
It’s like being an asshole is your religion
It’s like being unhelpful is your decision
I don’t need love and support
I just wish that your retort
Came from a good place
Now everything you say
I take with a grain of salt
Until I shrivel up dead on the asphalt
It’s like dragging me down is bringing you up
It’s like bringing me up is dragging you down
I don’t need love and support
I can tell that your retort
Comes from your asshole

Rock and Roll and Work
02:06
|
|||
|
Rock and roll and go to work
So I can rock and roll and go to work

Now I Go Up
02:12
|
|||
|
They tell me to keep it clean
Mind your manners on the green
I’ve always been an alley cat
Behind the scenes
I’ve never been an integral part of the machine
Now they’re calling me up
So now I go up
Because they’re calling me up
They’re letting me in
I’ve never been in
They’re letting me out
I’ve never been out

Split the Indifference
03:05
|
|||
|
Beating around the bush
I never get it up
Cutting to the chase
I never get enough
Meet me in the middle
Somewhere in between
Split the indifference with me
Cartoon character
Spirited far away
I wear the exact same thing every day
Cartoon character
Drawn without lines to say
Fate is written in stars so far away
Getting to the point
I never get enough
Waste the day away
I’m never getting up
Meet me in the middle
Somewhere in between
Split the indifference with me

Shelly

Shelly
She’s not hard to miss
She took me to the back
And blew me a kiss
At 2 AM in the back of her mind
She covered me in slime
Shelly
She’s Queen of the beach
Ran out of green
And started selling the keef
At 3 AM in the back of her van
