Big Red Rocket Ship

I had a dream and I looked weird
I could just flick and disappear
The world would go on without me
King on another galaxy
I had a big red rocket ship
And I could ride it and just split
The world would go on without me
So zonked and sick of gravity
I saw that one day I returned
And the blue planet was still there
Recharge the lasers load the guns
And blew up everything to dust
If I had a big red rocket ship
Then I would ride it and just split
I’d strike the earth and go full force
I’d crash and bang to kill us all

Aced Out

As I roll back to M.J.S.
I saw everyone run in reverse
Would dot my t’s to break the ice
Though my intentions would suffice
Best option no traction off-road assumptions
Go!
Sustainable self-gratification
To keep the momentum without paying attention
Aced out
My father’s let down
The first to drop out
At the top of my game
I was the one to set the pace
I was a rat in my own race
The currents told me where to go
Though it was up against the flow
Best option no traction off-road assumptions
Go!
Sustainable self-gratification
To keep the momentum without paying attention
Aced out
My father’s let down
The first to drop out
Defective and burned out
At the top of my game
And one day my psychiatrist
Gave up on me and poured us two drinks
He said that sanity is a twist
Made up in plots of missing links
I did not get it so he gave me some pills
For what they call ADHD
I hated how they made me feel
So I pulverized them breathed ‘em in
And now I grind all things to find
The easiest access to my mind

#Beach

I don’t wanna go to the beach today
All I wanna do is sulk and hate
Though I won’t mind to sweat my thoughts away
I don’t wanna make amends
I don’t wanna see my friends
As the heatwave melts the meaning
Why
Try
I’ll turn away
Procrastinate
I don’t wanna go to the beach today
I don’t want no panic attacks
I don’t wanna think too much
Let the smoke touch the ceiling
And I know I always fuck things up
Cause I killed the dreams that I once had
Guess I am not much of a summer guy
Why
Try
I’ll turn away
Procrastinate
I don’t wanna go to the beach today
And you don’t have to tell
That I need my private hell

She Has Everything

Can a pack of Camels save the day?
Grab a drink and drive the night away
Can I take a drag from yours as well?
Cause I’m running out of things to say
So let’s take the long way
So we can smoke it all
And let’s sing our hearts out to
...And out come the wolves
Playing on the stereo
Well I
I want more but she wants everything
And I’m not sure if she gets the irony
I want more and she has everything
When I want more she points out my vanity
Steps on the gas with a look full of greed
So motivated she scares the hell out of me
I want more but she wants everything
But I’m not sure if she gets the irony
I want more and she has everything
When I want more she points out my apathy
She’s staring at the road’s edge and she is wearing a grin
So motivated she scares the hell outta me
She’s got
She’s got
Oh oh oh
She has everything

Strays On A Leash

Psyched to prepare
For this week’s fare
Drublicly punk
Best drugs to share
Break tooth or dare
Prove why you’re there
Alex is punching air as he denounces macho shit
Trying to impress a scenester girl in a demanding circle pit
And Michael keeps a joint lit throughout the show
Helen bites her tongue as she demands another song
Pupils dilated and a long face to accompany the wrong reasons
To sugarcoat her punk rock blues with snow
All my friends are strays on a leash
Friday’s despair
Week hasn’t been fair
A few ships have sung
One boat was spared
Dead weight is rare
It’s left midsea cause no one cares
George is bursting into loud laughs
Dissing out what Holdem did
He is self restrained in Irish handcuffs
Brings to mind his mother’s need
To castrate the stray cat in him
A low blow
Held breath and pattern
As pulling downwards
Is nothing more than
Testing the elasticity of the leash

Hello there my new friend
Seat’s not taken I suppose
Too old to ask for your advice
Too young to admit that no-one knows
How to float in deep shit
All my other friends will pass
The chance to hear me whine again
About quicksand in the hourglass
Are you ready to hit the bottom?
Are you ready to jump down with me?
If you’re not it’s ok cause we all sink alone anyway
But I think that the fall will be fun after all
Hello my old friend
Did you sleep enough last night?
Well I did not cause ghosts sometimes
Come to devour my insides
It’s been long you moved on
Guess my moment never came
One more night out of my brain
And I’m still asking you the same
Are you ready to hit the bottom?
Are you ready to jump down with me?
If you’re not it’s ok cause we all sink alone anyway
But I think that the fall will be fun after all
Nobody should sink alone tonight
Are you ready to hit the bottom?
Are you ready to accept your defeat?
If you don’t I will carry on for both of us
I think that the fall will be fun (after)
That is the path that I chose (after)
We could never wear each other’s shoes after all

Something's Undone

7 am and everything burns
There’s something I have not figured out tonight
A needle through my brain is what keep me up
But I won’t get a second chance cause I’m the only one alive
The only sign of life is the non stop flickering lights
And all I’m left with is the buzz
Music is still playing on the stereo
But my ears feel like they’ve had enough
Something’s undone
Where does it come from?
It’s no more fun
Being in denial
Go on and kill those fucking lights
It’s now or never
Something is undone call it a night
Hold it together
I’m sick of the days
When your face pops up in my head again
I can’t runaway
My teenage posters are laughing in my face
Like one of those nights
Full of lights that I’m making excuses
For always getting high
The coming down, it’s creeping me out
Instead of giving up I lie awake
In the shadow of my doubt
Something is undone
Where does this come from?
It’s no more fun
Being in denial
Go on and kill those fucking lights
You fucking moron
Something is undone
Call it a night
Give in and move on

Defanged

Keep your head down kid and everything is gonna be alright
All you need is to succeed so you should never improvise
You stand in vain, detained consuming all these lies
Like you’re the one who is down the drain
Remember when you took the blame because you lost control
Remember when they used that shame to claim it’s all your fault
You better choose stay abused or seize the life they stole
Through guilt transmitted by default
In this glass dome
I’m staying
In my mind
A black hole
In this glass dome
I’m waiting
In my head a black hole
And I start freaking out over the place
And I start freaking out all over the place
I’m sick of bottling up all of my rage
I’ll take your fucking shame and shove it in your face
I’ll take your stupid shame and shove it in your face
Take your pride and shove it in your face

I’ve got the world in my fingers
In a screen at the top of my palm
Feeding on someone else’s life
So I can forget my own
Fake news and misdirection
The headlines of our generation
Time passed and I lost my aim
Until I catch myself scrolling down again
I keep my world in my pocket
So I can always take good care of it
Ashamed to admit depression
Guilt free procrastination
Don’t need to channel my attention
Overwhelming information
Time passed and Iost my aim
Before I know it I’d scroll down again
Scroll down then scroll some more
How did I get 24
How I’m feeling more and more alone
Scroll down and wonder why
They all look happy and alive
What the fuck is wrong?
