if loving you is my job I do it for the hell of it not just the benefits if I do something wrong I’m sure there will be hell to pay but will it be the same as if I take too much time off am I liable to be replaced or just a pretty face when you remind me of my mom I start to melt down again this shit will never end walk on home at the end of the day heart is aching burning your brain realize you have nothing to say and if you're so smart why don't you run away find the life you wanted yesterday 'cause it drags you down and drives me insane if loving me is your life it's sad I never realized the damage in your eyes the time I cut myself with a knife I didn't mean to lacerate but I was so irate when I stayed up all night I was trying to repair all the furniture but I never get things right sometimes I wish I didn't care it would be easier walk on home at the end of the day heart is aching burning your brain realize you have nothing to say and if you're so smart why don't you run away build the life you wanted yesterday 'cause it drags you down and drives me insane like a strawberry pie but it's frozen inside hurts when it hits me in the face you can clean it off but still have the scrapes morning is the hardest time poison is metabolized the cloudiness in your mind can never be satisfied it's like a strawberry pie but it's frozen inside walk on home at the end of the day heart is aching burning your brain realize you have nothing to say if you're so smart why don't you run away find the life you wanted yesterday 'cause it drags you down and drives me insane and if we're so smart why don't we run away build the life you wanted yesterday that won't drag us down or drive us insane and if I’m so smart why don't we run away build the life you wanted yesterday 'cause it drags us down and it drives us insane

Scorpio 03:55
I always thought you were a Scorpio you never know how this is going to go you held me up when I was so low I always thought you were a Scorpio you are my boss' best friend she said she'd love me until the end don't want my life to fall apart again she said she'd love me until the end disintegrate self-medicate deteriorate I can't say your name you look like Bettie Page I do appreciate we are not the same I always thought you were a Scorpio you never know how this is going to go you held me up when I was so low I always thought you were a Scorpio every time I saw you around my heart it always would begin to pound my eyes firmly fixed on the ground every time I saw you around disintegrate self-medicate deteriorate November 28 my heart will remain with an Aquarius with an Aquarius with an Aquarius with an Aquarius with an Aquarius

Street Light 04:13
sit awake and I stare at a streetlight as it illuminates the world outside in the suburbs of Bergen in the springtime feeling jet lagged and not knowing why I decide what to do with my life play music and have a good time in the kitchen in the absence of the daylight the year is nineteen ninety-five and that streetlight feeling is alive on a late night playing in a dive bar all the people there care about is green beer we all need this in our lives ever since the dawn of time and if it ever feels discouraging it's just bad marketing at the time the scene was looking alright before the formats changed budgets were high any kid with a TV and a cool vibe could get the feeling that this was a good life but when boy bands happened we all realized that it was just another scam of the times and that streetlight feeling is alive on a late night playing in a dive bar all the people there care about is green beer we all need this in our lives ever since the dawn of time and if it ever feels discouraging you shouldn't be so frivolous dude you can't be serious some say it all comes down to luck in the end but that streetlight feeling is alive on a late night playing in a dive bar all the people there care about is green beer we all need this in our lives ever since the dawn of time and if it ever feels discouraging it's just bad marketing

I'm sick of this shit the scar runs deep I think the outside world is trying to kill me better stay in here admit defeat hijack sleep live like a junkie on your birthday your family call you if you have any family left better answer the phone before they're all gone and make it easy for them or call them the day before and make it easy for them have birthday conversations enjoy the aggravation hungry as hell for something to eat but the eating is all the same anxiety's pills for society's ills so you can fit in once again I'm sick of this shit the scar runs deep I think the outside world is trying to kill me just stay in here admit defeat repress memories sleep through the morning every meal you've ever eaten everyone who was involved every video game beaten never to be played again every meal you've ever eaten everyone who was involved every level you've never beaten never to be played again break the mold, break the cycle break the mold, break it cycle breaker cycle breaker break them all, break the cycle break them all, break them cycle breaker you're cycle breaker cycle breaker you're a cycle breaker cycle breaker you're a cycle breaker cycle breaker you're a cycle breaker I'm sick of this shit

Hydrogen Cat 04:28
my former neighbour's cat attacks my neighbour's cat the neighbour's dog attacks my cat and the dog barks at the mailman who works for the government and is afraid of aliens who are only here to study us we're unstable and unpredictable my former neighbour's cat eats birds in the yard the birds eat the worms and the worms eat microorganisms and they eat phytoplankton phytoplankton eats sunlight the sun is made of hydrogen but the cat is not made of hydrogen I used to hope that I'd die and microorganisms eat my body and the worms eat the microorganisms and the birds eat the worms and the cat would eat the birds and we would be together forever until our bones turn to dust or even slowed down light our neighbour moved away you stayed behind at first we couldn't look you in the eye I wish we never had to say goodbye when you're gone we won't know what to do with our lives so just do the best you can take it one day at a time enjoy the time you have because everybody dies

you look strange and arrogant you were my mother's high school friend all the lies and the theft and the echoes of what's left will come back to haunt you in the end you display no emotion and use a weakness as a weapon oh, the life that you made abandoned and betrayed will carry the cycle of your debt they said when I left just don't think about it but I can't get it out of my head I just can't get it out of my head if you're alive and well or know how bad it felt a childhood emotional death that has an influence on brain development I'm sorry your life was a mess you never had control when you were ten years old a cycle rarely broken at best The Butterfly Effect Over The Cuckoo's nest you were a modern-day Nurse Ratched and I dissociate from my current state and I have these kind of brains in my head 'cause of the fucked-up way you behaved I have these kind of brains in my head 'cause of you I have these kind of brains in my head because of you but I love these brains in my head despite you and I will use these brains in my head to spite you
