Well people are my favorite animal, but we all seem so damn incompatible, cause we don't see our lives as valuable, and they will swallow each other whole. You might find these views as cynical while thinking about them from your cubicle, but i promise that they're just unusual, and only half dillusional. Well people are my favorite animal, but we all seem so damn incompatible, cause we don't see our lives as valuable, and they will swallow each other whole. You might find these views as cynical while thinking about them from your cubicle, but I swear they'll swallow each other whole, from the Lion to the Ostrich to the Mole. I am a replacement lung, crafted from black soap, and I have been watching over myself watching me while I sleep. And you are the sharks that haunt TV screens and you are 3 AM, and you're shining your lithium eyes at a vaccine that we harvested from the crop circles.

Filling the mold of a blind contour brings out the worst aspects of you and it's important to acknowledge that we can never become accustomed to our non-chalance, and she will often say things that you won't hear that often, making a point of being disappointed and so-on, and so-fourth, and so-fith But does it mean something that we enjoy the smell of gasoline? And it was unforeseen that the vaccine would cause us to feel this obscene, but what can you expect with a machine for a queen. And you can reconstruct your nose and devour the most expensive of clothes, but you'll be the only one who knows, or even cares at all. And I'm not sure when they started producing the walking mannequin, but I'm starting to hate seeing her everywhere that I go. and I don't mean to sound mean but the level of profanity projecting from your television screen leads me to believe that you believe everything you've ever seen, and your chances of realization seem pretty damn lean, they seem pretty damn lean. Well monkey see and monkey do, guess evolution must be true, so what does that tell you?

Bad Trades 03:30
You taped over all your memories, for nothing, for no one, for a blank page, for white noise. You traded the balance that you once had, for machines, for big things, for bad dreams, for hearing rings You sliced your thumb prints right off, to loose space, to find space, so define 'taste' to win a race that isn't even real. You convinced yourself of everything you were told, and fell for it, right in a pit, but now you cant quit and you'll never sit down You'd sell your soul for the way you look, hand on the book, but you'd be so shook, you'd be so shook. You starved yourself and you got a fake tan, for some reason, for a warm season, but now your freezing, and there was no treason charged to you. But haven't you ever heard that history repeats itself? and haven't you ever heard that history is a big warp hole? and haven't you ever heard that we'll shift our shapes in the backs of our cars? in the backs of our cars.
