Spit Up
03:53
|

Oh, darling – what’s up?
You could place a thistle
on the ground
in the place of me
Oh, darling – what’s up?
You could pour my dust,
just tip me up
and shake me free
Don’t mists just disappear?
You know all of this just disappears
Ooh, darling – what’s up?
You could wear that
black rose fascinator
for a day only
Ohh, darling – don’t you wait for me
Don’t you wait, don't you wait
I’m gone, turn off your phone,
no two blue ticks from me
I’m all lit up
I’m all spit up
I’m all shit out already
I’m all bit up
I’m all chewed up
It’s time for me already
Oh, darling – what’s up?
You just wait for dust
to not be dust,
if you wait for me
Oh, darling – what’s up?
You should feel a kiss
full up with love,
don’t wait for me
Don’t mists just disappear?
You know all of this’ll just disappear
I’m all lit up
I’m all spit up
I’m all shit out already
I’m all bit up
I’m all chewed up
It’s time for me already
I’m all lit up
I’m all spit up
I’m all shit out already
I’m all bit up
I’m all chewed up
It’s time for me already

The Gate
02:38

All my faith can wait
All my life spent outside the gate
All my faith can wait
All my life spent outside the gate
Everything is right through the gate
Just on the other side of the gate
Catch up with all my friends through the gate
Yeah everything I need through the gate
All my faith can wait
All my life spent outside the gate

Here's Hoping
03:20

One lacks the know-how and
One lacks the stones to
Stand alone and fight
One lacks the mindfullness
One's too entitled
Oh, nemesis of mine
One lacks the scheduling
One lacks the funny
The other can't down a pint
One lacks the sweetness and
One's just a buzzkill
But all of ya cry inside
Say ex-brother, brother of mine
Here's hoping we're split till we die
No regrets this is paradise
But do you sleep at night?
That time will pass if it's proceeded by hope
That time will pass if it's succeeded by love

When you find out you're an average snowflake –
oh, it's a limp balloon to re-inflate
Only presiding over your own landscape
and a truth that you make
I know the writing's at the requisite grade,
it's just the intangibles at play
And then another bombshell – it's you they hate
No coming back from hay made
What we doing and where are we going?
The commonplaceness to which I gravitate,
realized in full
and then survived by still more normal snowflakes
Why procreate at all?
People speak in “plans” and “journeys” and “fates”
As hero types, we're drawn
I ordered steak, but then it came on a slate
Into this life, we're thrown
What we doing and where are we going?

Someone
02:50
|

You look like a person
Who lives on the road
You make me uncertain
You’re hot then you’re cold
Your tinpot philosophies
Hang on my wall
You say they’re your
temporary measure for all
You look like
someone I should love
You look like
someone I should love
You say that the reason
I want you to stay
is that we are opposites
in every way
But ten million reasons
won’t keep me afloat,
when everything I love
has jumped out the boat
You look like
someone I should love
You look like
someone I should love

Once it was all about the slush, babe
Yes, it was all about the slush,
until we made it dry – all denied
And mined it and grind it 'till mummified
Once it was all about the plush, babe
Yes, it was all about the plush,
until we made it die – boned and plied
Ploughed it and browned it 'till monetized
The holy water, the holy water rolling, and are we giving in?
It’s the holy water causing the drought we’re living in
And we’re rolling with the water,
Should be going against the water
Should be going against the water
Now that we're all about the crush, babe
And now that we're all about the crush
‘till we break inside – sold a lie
Balloon and consume 'till the day we die
Now that we’re all about the blush, babe
And now that we’re all about the blush,
can we reconcile our design
to snub nose and bulldoze a paradise?
The holy water, the holy water rolling, and are we giving in?
It’s the holy water causing the drought we’re living in
And we’re rolling with the water,
Should be going against the water
Should be going against the water
Should be going against the water
