Do you remember the first time a loved one died?
And you just sat there watching your mother cry.
Do you remember when you realised you'll go as well?
Remaining only as the memories, the stories you told.
Do you remember looking in the mirror and truly hating yourself?
Like the person looking back wasn't you at all.
Do you remember getting drunk for the first time?
Puking your guts into the toilet, trying to make sense of life.
Because I do and I won't ever forget.
Do you remember losing your license for the third time?
And the look of dissapointment in your fathers eyes.
Do you remember getting cheated on by your first love?
And never truly trusting anyone for the rest of your life.
Do you remember your first time having sex?
And the embarasssment that came afterwards.
Do you remember your whole life being a total fuck up?
And the face of your parents just giving up.
Because I do and I won't ever forget.

Root to Stem
03:59
|

Feel like a pile of shit on the side of the road
Waiting for someone to pick me up and watch their tomatoes grow
Feel like an old sock at the bottom of a draw
Waiting for someone to cum in me as a last resort
I want you to be mud between my toes
I want you to be green from root to stem
Feel like my childhood home four walls of gyprock on a street
And slowly i'm getting demolished to house more retirees
Feel like my first fuck when the anxiety gets to my head
And I can't stop thinking about the moment where I'll fuck this up again.
If someone tells me to go fuck myself
Do I drink alone or do I wank alone?

Nothing Gained

There's nothing inside of me
I'm just a bag of skin with nothing withing
And my bones are crumbling
It's painstackingly arousing
To feel these things inside of me
And it starts to come between
Tearfucker is there something wrong with me.
And all I see is grey
And everything taste the same
So there's no point buying your five dollar latte
And is this all I wanted
To feel nothing at all
Or to feel every prick of every word I said
Tearfucker is there something wrong with me
I push my blood and my bones out the eye of my dick
And when I open my mouth I just scream out piss

Waster

Bugs crawl in side of you
And everything you do
Seems to go wrong
There's track marks on your skin
From the holes they bore within
So you sell everything you own but you can't sell resentment
You foreclose another home but you can't escape the cotton noose
You always take what isn't yours
With the only way you know how
We were all rooting for you to change
But change never came
And you're fucked just the same
So sick of you always sitting on the fence
About social issues and political correctness
So sick of always getting roped in
By the other white man and their fucking mess
So you sell everything you own but you can't sell resentment
You foreclose another home but you can't escape the cotton noose
We were all perfect when we were born so its your fault your such a cunt

Burial
04:48
|

With privilege comes responsibility
And I don't know if i'm doing enough
Is fighting violence with violence
The only solution
And with time comes honesty
And i'm sorry for what i've done in the past
I'm sick of thinking with my dick
And shunning my social contributions
And I hate half the population
But it's the half i'm in
And I hate the dick attached
To the body I was born within
And I hope I can make up for the mistakes
That my shadow made
And I hope that when the lights go out
So will the past
I try to be a better man
But what's a better man
And I try to fix all my mistakes
But what's the point if there are more to be made
I'll dig up the sand around me
And lower myself in
And you can try and dig up the past
Or bury me where i begin
And you'll find me six feet beneath the surface
With my words dribbling down my chin
I just hope that there's room for the rest
Of mankind to fit within

The Sum
03:48
|

I drink beers for my fears and social anxiety
Say something nice to me I don't care if you're lying
I'll take a punch to the face over feeling embarassed
And i'll take crying alone over saying what i'm feeling
Am I the sum of my mistakes?
My mind is a black hole and i'm floating further away
Gasping for air as I fall through space
Your words are my oxygen they keep me from dying
As long as I live i'll give you my everything
What if all I had was nothing?
What would that mean?
Who would I be?
What if I was who I couldve been?
With a little more luck
And a lot more trying
Would i still be the sum of my mistakes?

Nothing Good
03:38
|
|||
I grovel again and again
Waiting for silence from other men
What's the point in even talking
If my opinion is worthless
I've got thoughts and feelings
But they are pointless
What's the point in another white man
Expressing himself
If my opinion is me am I a worthless human being?
And is there another need or should I leave my seat?
Should I leave my seat
For someone who needs it?
I guess that I am worthless
But that's not such a bad thing
Life revolves around the sun
And that's okay with me.

Dissociate

Do I know who I am?
Cos reality's getting thinner
Like i'm dissociating more
Do I know who I am?
When I haven't felt water around my ankles
Like before
Do I know who I am?
When music get's harder to hear
Like it's coming through the walls
Do I know who I am?
When my hair falls off my head
Or I grow it out again.
Do I know what I am?
Am I a modern man
Or am I recurring motifs
Do I know what I am?
I question every action
I question every motive
Do I know how it began?
Just waking up one morning
Do I feel different?
Do I know how it ends?
A slight change in personalty
A shift in perspective
