poppyfields

fire burning, fear and loathing in the midwest
blood and violence, missing warnings at the protest
let me breathe, dismissed to scream and shout
for a knee they filled the streets and towns
fire burning, west coast smoking--change the subject
woke up to a crimson sky just like a sunset
look outside it's a beautiful day
refrain of poppyfields, remember how this feels
for one thousand years red painted poppyfields
one tiny blackened square, or your thoughts and prayers
two hundred thousand killed, asleep in poppyfields
slept through all the news this morning, did you forget?
pieces of your peace of mind, but is it worth it?
the moods you dwell, your mental health
your soundless thoughts, concerns, revolve
for all your flaws it's not your fault, it's not your fault

you

you say you want to live your life
it's been so hard lately, i know
we all went out and had a bad time
i don't care which me this is yet
hours and hours of TV
talking trash to NYPD
i forget the evenings
nothing makes it easy like you
taste your own lips then softly sip
i think its bliss, yes love, kiss kiss
let's get it on, let's call it off
it's so easy it's all because of you

get out of bed
that's some bullshit
99.5, that NPR shit
the sound of alarms pounds in my head
remember now
i woke up crying
some fancy math
and cinema sin
birds in the park & murderous pigs
have you got a pulse to finally face it?
would you rather drift off? i'm floating and weightless
let's not forget the nice warm sheets and blankets
you didn't get far,
had a dream you were famous
you stretch and yawn,
you snooze the alarm
let's not forget the things we are so grateful every day
i wrote some words to say, but not enough to read aloud to you
listening to the news in the morning
it's me and you, entranced and hopeless
oh my love it's getting hard

feelings were the worst
and always ill-informed
i thought they ran it's course
back when i was young
and i don’t know
but all of a sudden
all of a sudden
i fell into your pocket now
i fell in love with you
i don't know what to do
i'd rather watch you sleep
it's all that i need now
wherever you are,
im in
from the start,
and i don't know
cause all of a sudden
all of a sudden
i fell into your pocket ..now
i fell in love with you
i don't know what to do
i love to watch you sleep
it's all that i need
i fell into your pocket now
i fell in love with you
i don't know what to do
i fell into your pocket now
i fell in love with you
i don't know what to do
but all of a sudden
all of a sudden
all of a sudden

bus song

oh the morning peers and faces
while i'm riding on the bus
you can go to diffferent places
while i'm riding on the bus
i can fall asleep, can press my phone
it's off to work, i love you so
the city coughs and sneezes
while i'm riding on the bus
you can see me fall to pieces
while i'm riding on the bus
i might even check my emails
while i'm riding on the bus
it's my favorite place, it's stop and go
before you know the tunnel drones
and leaves you in the sunlight
when the morning starts to rush
pretty babe i feel so warm and free
wishing you were next to me
it's all the same, so obviously
it's always work and then it seems
for all the words smeared on my phone
my body groans, nowhere to go
the city swept beneath us
while i'm riding on the bus

it is march 131st
and it seems like things are getting worse
in this season, it's so foggy hazy, don't get paid no more
you're all out of luck so you go back
to live at home with mom and dad
they're different now, its not so bad
you're changing too you know
the sentimental pieces of rubbish left you speechless
the memories embalmed in your childhood bedroom weeping
you imagined more, staring at the ceiling, pretending you were dreaming of anything else
i miss my job, i miss my life
driving my car through yellow lights
cancel on friends to no suprise
oh all my regrets revolve
never had the thought, or didn't plan
for apocalypse to be so bland
at the supermarket buying carrots, frozen foods and milk
i miss my friends, i miss the fights
i miss those useless fucking nights
up to the roof to go get high,
i miss the planes up in the sky
my soul is bare, the mood is bleak
another endless, depressing week
if it's not obvious to say, i don't like weekends either

annual life crisis
03:23
|
|||
|
it's automatic
right in an instant
pounds like a pressure
pulls like a distance
silence and flicker
lights flash to music
so take my picture,
i'll paint myself blue until you say it's alright
now now my my
no don't you cry
i know you're tired
you burn so bright
my embers die
you've saved my life
one thousand times
baby, it's groovy, righteous existential crisis
pick apart your life, get ready to rewind
it's like a movie, mindless, i don't even like it
wasting all my time, count down until it falls apart
it's automatic
aren't you surprised
when clockwork chimes?
seasons divide
the years go by
baby, it's groovy, righteous existential crisis
pick apart your life, get ready to rewind
it's like a movie, mindless, i don't even like it
wasting all my time, count down until it falls apart
it's automatic
right in an instant
pounds like a pressure
baby, it's groovy, righteous existential crisis
pick apart your life, now isn't it divine?
you can see right through me, five, six, seven indecisive
wasting all your time, say anything i'll fall apart

i've got two tickets in my hand
we're going to disneyland
i think we're leaving right now
anyway,
i spent the weeks to plan
financially prepared
i've brought our suitcases downstairs
now every decision's full of memories and visions
our intentions and opinions, you know well
well, that friendly intuition calls for someone who listens
all i ever do for a friend like you
well, it's easy to say--
i'm feeling blue this year
put the trip on your credit card,
cash your check when it rains
if you didn't work so hard
you'd buy your friends away
i'm feeling blue this year
the friends you lose and lose again
i don't know what i can do
whisper secrets that you knew
you were screaming lies to prove
self righteous or self abuse?
i think we're through the tears and angst
i peel and prune my skin away
white blossoms bloom and sear
i'm feeling blue
