The Salt Breather
02:22
|
|||
|
I breathe in salt
I tell myself I can give it up
It's all my fault
But I dodge the blame and I'm absolved
I wanted to dream it but I'm a fraud
I breathe in salt
I fold up dead like a parasol
Hello
My name is Alloy Fox

Friend of a Friend
02:49

|
I'm a lame dragon
I stay out late like a strange man without a face
I'm okay
You're too late for the fashion
I need proof that the ends at the end
I'm a loose canon
I'm the strange friend of a friend of a saint
I'm okay
You're okay
We're okay
(Strange) Not that I could ever forget the things you said
(I feel used) You'll burn bright and beautiful shades of red
(You're the change) You can't help but imagine the day when you're dead
(I feel new) The day will come too soon but until then
(like a friend of a friend of a saint) You're okay
I'm okay

Quarantine 19

(Blue Medicine)
I can't move or go outside
I can't prove I'm not already infected
My current mood is to brood
I look out my window
It's like the reverse of a zoo
I scrolled through my phone more times in a single day than I ever thought I would do.
Quarantine 19
It's Quarantine 19
It's week two
My coughs getting worse and canned food is all that's left in the pantry
My current mood is taboo
I drink a Corona
It's a stupid joke buy you smile; your face on my screen for a while
What I miss the most is normal interactions with you.

Peptobismal
01:44
|
|||
|
It's pink and it slides down like a milkshake
It's a drink and it makes you feel better
and I think we will storm this weather
With Peptobismal
It makes your heart strong
It isn't my fault your stomach hurts
It's 6pm on a weeknight
That Olive Garden Pasta didn't hit right
So grab that trusty bottle, smash it open on the wall
and slurp up all your Peptobismal
It makes your heart strong
It isn't my fault your stomach hurts
It's Peptobismal
It's Peptobismal
It's Peptobismal
(Now you understand the way things happen here)

Purple Gem
03:10
|

|
A purple gem is in my arms
The curtains are drawn
But what about them? Aren't they your friends?
Don't do them wrong
I heard your phone won't hold a charge, won't last too long
I'll twist and bend
but won't pretend this feeling's wrong
This feelings wrong
A purple gem is in bed
and it's no one's fault
I'll twist and bend
but won't pretend this feelings wrong
This feeling's wrong
This feeling's wrong
This feeling's wrong
Her name is Gem
She's in my bed
It's no one's fault
But what about them? Aren't they your friends?
This feels wrong
This feeling's wrong
This feeling's wrong
This feeling's wrong

The Director
03:50
|

|
I am a director
I see right through you
I sift through resumes day and night
I'm a director
I know how to use you
To be most efficient with money and time
I'm an investor
A profit molester
I stalk these halls in a suit and tie
I'm a director and I can use money and power and influence to buy
To buy your time
To buy your life
To buy your time
I am a director I can confuse you
with my words, my logic, my lies
I'm an investor summing up your dividends
to judge your soul with much delight
I'm a detractor
ask difficult questions
while conning you out of your piece of the pie
I'm a director, policy subjector
I'll seek more power until I die
seek more power until I die
seek more power until I die
I am a director
I can use you, I can abuse you how I like
a repulsive detractor with no moral compass
but I'm effective, you can't deny
I'm an investor, I'm climbing the ladder
with any advantage I can find
I'm a director
and I can provide you with all the best things money can buy
all the best things money can buy
all the best things money can buy
all the best thing money can buy

Working on cure, making progress
Doing lots of math, integers
Something pure for the masses
Will it be effective? I'm not sure
Wearing glasses
Wash you're fucking hands or blow the horn of Abraxas
Staying in doors, playing Genesis classics
Doing lots of chores
Taking Online classes
I know you're fucking bored watching Netflix and laughing
It's part of the cure, stay inside you asses
Stay the fuck home right now
Stay the fuck home right now
I know you feel like a lazy cow
eating all of your bread an cheese by the pound
but the best thing you can do is stay the fuck home right now
Don't go outside
Stay the fuck home right now
i bought a bidet to wash my butt instead of wiping
Shit is getting strange at my place, it's exciting
Amazon's delayed all my orders it's frightening
(but Porn Hub is running just fine)
The goal right now is to weaken the virus
so it can't reproduce when it's inside your body
We're all going to get it given time, it's just logic
So flatten the curve and don't contribute to it rising
Stay the fuck home right now
You know you should stay the fuck home right now
I know you feel like a lazy cow
but the best thing you can do is stay the fuck home right now
You know you should...
Stay the fuck home
Stay the fuck home right now
Stay the fuck home right now
Stay the fuck home right now

When Summer's Over
02:24
|

|
When summer's over
and the winds are blowing colder
the songs on the radio get slower
the party's all winding down
When summer's over
you put your head on my shoulder
we hold hand and watch the sun setting before it's time
Autumn is lonely
the winter's snowy
Spring will rain for the summer
and take you away
When summer's over
and heart is beating slower
The memories of the things we did are slipping into the dust
When summer's over and I'm feeling more sober
I look around and stop and start to settle down
Autumn is lonely
the winter it's snowy
The Spring will rain for the summer
and take you away
Winter is snowing (autumn is lonely)
Take you away (Spring will rain for the summer)
Winter is snowy(autumn is lonely)
Take you away
(Spring will rain for the summer to take you away)

I used to defend home computers
but now all I want to do is bath salts
I had a proprietary technology
but now it's become obsolete
I've been accused of murder
I don't remember if I even did it
My name is John McAfee
Could I trouble you for some bath salts, please?

There's a pain in my left lung
my cough's as dry as a bone
with a fever coming on
I'm feeling undone
I'm halfway gone
Already halfway gone
I see the street lights flicker on
from the confines of my home
I can feel it coming on
my final epilogue
I'm scared and alone
I'm halfway gone
I know you wish you could be here with me
I know you wish you could be here with me
There's an invisible wall and it won't let me leave
And why is this happening to meeeeeehsdhglksjdhflksdjflskdjfsldkf
(At last I'm feeling better)
I can go outside again
(At last things are getting better)
I can be with my friends
(At last we're getting better)
I can feel the sun again
(At last things are getting better)
I can see my friends
At last

Everyday is a good day
Good things happen all the time
If you look at life in this way
Everything else in the world is fine, fine fine
Splashing around in your own positive energy
Spread it around to the one's that you love
It feels so right
Creating and maintaining your own positivity
Paves the way to a beautiful life
A beautiful life, it's beautiful
Everyday is a good day
if you can make a stranger smile
creating and maintaining your own positivity
makes everything else in the world worthwhile
Splashing around in your own positive energy
Spread it around to the one's that you love
It feels so right
Creating and maintaining your own positivity
Paves the way to a beautiful life
A beautiful life, it's beautiful
Everyday is a good day
Everyday is a good day
Everyday is a good day
a beautiful liar
a beautiful liar
a beautiful liar
a beautiful liar
Everyday is a good day
Everyday is a good day
Everyday is a good day
