JUST UNTWIST
kittens mittens flowers loving
laughing smiling beaming shining
flying landing resting dreaming
breathing falling floating sinking
my mommy and my daddy never told me I could just untwist
fluffy happy bouncy puffy
growing blooming bursting open
cooing napping stretching flowing
touching holding safely knowing
my mommy and my daddy never told me I could just untwist
puppies duckies ponies birdies
babies chickies cuteness beaming
tiny little funny monkeys
hugging giggling dancing sleeping
my mommy and my daddy never told me I could just untwist
stopping floating hanging turning
seeing being reeling feeling
sensing empty dropping nothing
nothing nothing nothing nothing
my mommy and my daddy never told me I could just untwist
that I could just untwist that I could just untwist
that I could just untwist that I could just untwist

PRIMITIVE GOD
all that I hear when I listen is a primitive god
all that I hear when I listen is a primitive god
and I see what you mean
there's gotta be a creator pulling the strings
and I wish I could see what you see
when you told me that your heart can break and bleed
all that I hear when I listen is a primitive god
all that I hear when I listen is a primitive god
I'm leaving my receiver hot and open and on
all that I hear when I listen is a primitive god
and I love that you believe
in a safety net that you can't touch or see
and I feel your stress and fear
you tried to save my soul when I disappeared
and I know that you hurt
at the thought of losing your mind and turning to dirt
and I do admire your drive
you say screw you to death and you stay alive

COLD COLD SHEETS
maybe you're gone and maybe you're not
and maybe I'm still in a dream
I got the house to myself I got a heaven and hell
I got a space where you used to be
I got a heart that beats I got a memory
I got nothing 'cause noting is free
I move the pillows around I listen close for a sound
of you breathing next to me
but you're gone
cold cold sheets lying next to me
all that you left me were the cold cold sheets
cold cold sheets lying next to me
cold cold sheets
when you disapear it's a magical act
truly I believe that you won't come back
am I in an echo that I can not hear
come back as a bird when you reappear
I know it used to be hot I know it used to be cool
for you to stay and spend the night
but in the very same way at the end of the day
everybody looses the light

BORN BLURRY EYED
born blurry eyed born blurry eyed
born blurry eyed born blurry eyed
if I squint I feel alright
details fade and don't excite
I don't think I can stay the night
I am too blurry eyed
what a way to break the ice
take a step and the cracks arrive
the fireworks are dynamite
'cause so I'm blurry eyed
leaving now is impolite
blind spots are an oversight
home alone and I pick a fight
I am so blurry eyed
blue skies go black and white
pixelated gigabyte
I violate my own copyright
'cause I'm so blurry eyed
born blurry eyed born blurry eyed
born blurry eyed born blurry eyed
above zero Fahrenheit
it's hard to see the northern lights
but I can see the satellites
even though I'm blurry eyed
brought a knife to a pillow fight
I can't do anything right
out of focus is out of sight
forever blurry eyed
born blurry eyed born blurry eyed
born blurry eyed born blurry eyed

California Frown

CALIFORNIA FROWN
when a sand dune is full of debris
when the landscape is lying to me
when the sunset is made in a lab
when you want what you already have
when the vampires are out on the strip
when all the hipsters need new hips
when the waves are full of hungry sharks
when you write the ending before you start
california frown
happy smiling upside down
when the valleys turn out to be hills
when Beverly takes all of her pills
when most of Burbank splinters and cracks
when all the search lights are on my back
when all the parties are stuck on a loop
when every tattoo blurs and drops
when all the palm trees run run away
when we all have something nice to say
california frown
happy smiling upside down

Tenderest Love

TENDEREST LOVE
gentle feather barely moving
twilight skin tight wide eyed sparking
slowly kissing barely touching
warm breath swirling fingers brushing
this is the tenderest love
forgive my sin one more time again
hold me softly hardly floating
tangled inside no one can hide
faster now slow it down
how did we get this high
we didn't even try
this is the tenderest love

Float 'Till I Fell

FLOAT 'TILL I FELL
I did not know I could float 'till I fell
'till I fell 'till I fell
at the bottom now looking up
dust myself off and call my bluff
lean out over the edge and find
another drop off another cliff
these slippery slopes conspire to make me slip
hold on with one fingertip
I did not know I could float 'till I fell
'till I fell 'till I fell
on the top of the top now looking out
all I want are sunny days all I get is cloud
find a slice of sky while zooming out
loose my grip now the end of me
how am I slowing now? how can this be?
suspended where there is no gravity
I did not know I could float 'till I fell
I float 'cause I fell (did not know did not know)

SILLY STUPID CONSTELLATION
I see my silly stupid constellation
shouting 'bout the constant situation
I see my silly stupid constellation
(and they're staring back at me)
I tell them I can handle everything
and that I can choose not to think
they see the void and they're terrified (and they're terrified)
they are toddlers who need attention
they are threatened by a bad connection
they are so frightened of elimination
I gave them time to sit and watch me glowing
I showed them time and then it slowed to nothing
I saw the tears forming in their eyes
but then who are we if we're not an army?
I never asked you to try to defend me
follow the leader and you'll lose it all (and you'll lose it all)
they act like babies who have been abandoned
that's why I tell them what I always tell them
they can throw the fight and float above it (float above it)

MONSTER BOMB
so bored without purpose
young men they take chances
they use x-ray madness
brought a killer to the surface
homeless it began to wander
radiation left it helpless
it's image burns forever
with every detonation
monster bomb
smash your face on the surface
reel off a blurry copy
keep your eye on your image
the dopamine explosion
it needs no introduction
it leaves no trace of living
monolith to reproduction
leaving us dizzy spinning
monster bomb

SENTIMENTAL ANIMAL
I am a sentimental animal
I am emotional and mechanical
I am fanatical and I am rational
I am a sentimental animal
like you
I got a heart and I got a mind
I got a skull and i got a spine
I got a hunger that sets my fur on fire
I got a story that's locked in time
I got a future has to unwind
I got a memory filling me with desire
I got a lust that tastes like blood
I got a brain that's full of dark mud
I got an instinct telling me what to do
I got a photograph of an old life
I got a longing sharp as a knife
I got a fear that pushes me back to you
a sentimental animal

BREATHING IN A VACUUM
I'm breathing in a vacuum
I'm breathing in a vacuum
I'm breathing in a vacuum
I'm breathing in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out
I'm under observation
light headed on vacation
a little respiration
and a little perspiration
a single inhalation
a single hesitation
a single exhalation
a new exhilaration
complete annihilation
the air is a sensation
I steal a hit of oxygen
i'm loosing my intention
complete elimination
of conscious intention
too minuscule to mention
this hyperventilation

PARASITE BY MY SIDE
I wanna hold it and make it feel happy
I wanna know it as part of my family
I see it now and it is terrified
parasite parasite parasite by my side
I found it when I was blind and angry
I found it when I was self destructing
I found it when I was high as a kite
parasite parasite parasite by my side
we fell in love when it tried to hurt me
we fell in love when it tried to convert me
we coexist inside this big head of mine
parasite parasite parasite by my side
I used to want to eliminate it
I used to want to exterminate it
darkness is stronger in the absence of light
parasite parasite parasite by my side
it shrinks away when it feels too nervous
as if I blame it for this mental disturbance
I tell it everything will be alright
parasite parasite parasite by my side
I want to thank you for yelling and screaming
I want to keep you and so no you're not leaving
we will always love this wonderful fight
parasite parasite parasite by my side
by my side

VENOMOUS BLUE
what a heavenly blue
I'd like to feel that fresh and new
instead I'm spinning here without a clue
watching people watching the chosen few
just from strumming and humming a tune
I sold the the whole blue world to you
that party that I was invited to
ended up being too good to be true good to be true
I had a beautiful view turn venomous blue
I wanna sell it to you this venomous blue
what a dangerous groove
I've got a million units to move
my nervous system came completely unglued
threatening sunshine and I'm totally screwed
my skies are venomous blue
I could sell it to you sell it to you
the tiny hole I pushed my big dream through
left me on the other side with nothing but nothing to do
my skies are venomous blue
I could sell it to you sell it to you
that party that I was invited to
ended up being too good to be true good to be true
