Do as you say but dont do what you do
Don't worry I don't want nothing with you
All Summer Long but don't drink any beer
Dazed and confused I pop out and I hear
Do you have wifi cause I need to check
Do you have wifi I really need to check
Do you have wifi I just need to check
Do you have wifi cause I need to check
Feels kind of good to have their eyes on me
No more a pleasure it's necessity
You know you can't believe everything you hear
The Denver Guardian makes that very clear
But I keep thinking
Why did society listen to you?
Why did society listen to you?
Why did society listen to you?
Why does society listen to you?
Neurological phenomena are taking hold
Running through, lighting up the ancient crevices of old
Watching zombies in a state of irony today
We're asked to sell our hearts as spare parts and I say
Questions get reflected, I need schadenfreude a little
Honestly it's just your confusion that makes me giggle
Looking in this wasteland that is ethanol induced
Like adrenaline fought dopamine and they just called a truce
As we adapt, getting used to falling down the hole
They say the battle's underway for our nation's very soul
If this chance is all I'll get, then I'll take it to the death
And at least be proud of the humanity that I have left
What are you trying to get me to do?
What are you trying to get me to do?
What are you trying to get me to do?
What are you trying to get me to do?
Why did society listen to you?
Why did society listen to you?
Why did society listen to you?
Do you have wifi cause I need to check

I know a man who had a billion dollars
He worked and worked until he died
And when they brought him home to put him under
Not a single person cried
(and everyone was singing)
La la la la la
I walked and walked until I found a woman
She called me hers I called her mine
But when I took a step I felt her pulling
That's when I realized it was time
(and she started singing)
La la la la la
I don't wanna be anything for anybody
I wanna be anything for me
I don't wanna be everything for everybody
I wanna be everything for me

Nothing quite so quiet like the calm after the storm
Can't convince my mind that there was anything before
I barely can recall, it could be any face that I see
I swear this could make monsters out of lesser men than me
And I don't ever wanna see you
fade away
it's like I only respect it
here today
and it screws with my head but it also hurts my heart
I wanted everything but it just fell apart
The hero's now the villain, a joke that I once made
Ostracized for chasing, the old familiar Braid
Memories don't count for nothing if it's not for good
If you would dare repent I swear I'd shoot you where you stood
And I don't ever wanna see you
fade away
it's like I only respect it
here today
and it screws with my head but it also hurts my heart
I wanted everything but it just fell apart
In my head
In my head
It all makes sense, you know
In my head
I don't care
I don't mind
It all makes sense, you know
In my head

I can tell you want something baby
I can tell you want something bad
I can tell you hope that I'm ready
I can tell you things that you'd never know
Nothing prepared me for what you would tell me
It's hard to believe you, It's hard to be strong
What I thought was advice was just misconception
What I thought was genius was maliciousness
All I have to lose
A bit of social proof
All I have to hide
Is everything inside
Well that's something I can wrap my head around
Cause you know I know you know
I wanna know you in the biblical sense
Yeah an HB6 to fix loneliness
It was supposed to be
50-50
Where are you
Hiding
It was supposed to be
50-50
Where are you
Hiding
How could she
They must have lied.
My soul and pride.
Did you know I'm
Writing a doctoral thesis of shocked moral decency sound the alarm
Picking apart from the end to the start won her heart from a touch of the arm
No one can say this shit having a love hate relationship in my own head
Not anybody can do all the study and prove that society's dead - hit me!
She was all about the sexual tension
She was all about the sexual tension
She was all about the sexual tension
She was all about the sex
Nothing prepared me for what you would tell me
It's hard to believe you, It's hard to be strong
What I thought was advice was just misconception
What I thought was genius was maliciousness
The death of romance, the death of love
and all the things, I'm tired of
The death of chivalry, the death of heart
and all the things, that set me apart
The death of romance, the death of love
and all the things, you're tired of
The death of chivalry, the death of heart
and all the things, that set you apart
The death of romance, the death of love
and all the things, we're tired of
The death of chivalry, the death of heart
and all the things, that set us apart
One more time, man

The Forked Stream Regret

Shifting eyes, the sudden silence
Are you sure, I swore I'd never
First to try to venture out
A line of thousands disappointed
The queen of hearts pulled back the cape
And I'm supposed to trust a stranger
Salt lakes spreading in my wake
I'm stuck in someone else's heaven
Guarded guarded stony hearted
Master the polite deflection
Enough of that it's back to normal
But I can't stop thinking
I confess...
Guess I left home for the right reason
Freedom is testing me, whipping me right in the face
I wont make it out in one piece
Guess I jumped ship for the right reason

The Theory

Involuntary surgery, polishing your mind
Wireless lobotomy, ya never had a chance
Time to whip up some nostalgia, it's never as good as it was
An inconvenient fact arises, what about, what about
Doesn't go away
Doesn't go away
I think it's here to stay
Think it's here to stay
Doesn't go away
Doesn't go away
I think it's here to say
Think it's clear to see
A new zeitgeist in the air, it’s negativity
The core so deep so well protected a surrogate working for free
Tide goes in and tide goes out, leave the details up to them
Until it bursts out from inside. What then? What then?
Doesn't go away
Doesn't go away
I think it's here to stay
Think it's here to stay
Doesn't go away
Doesn't go away
I think it's here to say
Think it's fair to say
It shouldn't be this easy
To poke holes in your theory
When logic seems to seize you
The hit comes out to please you
It shouldn't be this easy
To poke holes in your theory
When logic seems to seize you
The hit comes out to please you
*gibberish* (Ok, I'll tell you if I get enough album sales)

As interests collide and jobs are inside
You're reminded of things you shouldn't remember
Taxes are paid, USA parade
Send the kids to school in September
Forgetting hope and ignoring the pope
And the only way that I can cope is to have fun
I'm in a daze because Edward Bernays
Slapped me out of my malaise and I grab my gun
Work, then I go to sleep, then I go to
Work, then I go to sleep, then I go
Work, then I go to sleep, then I go to
Work, then I go to sleep, then I go
The fool is only ever happy when he's not in control
When he figures out how to rent his soul
Am I productive in a state of learned helplessness?
The fool is only ever happy if the answer is yes
The man on the screen says these things to me
And I know that he's right cause his angry style
Never quite got to Isaac Asimov
Something popped up, we're gonna wait a while
Back to the news it is time to remind
That for nine ninety nine I can tell your future
Special report from the Twitter of course
These celebrity girls, which one is cuter?
Work, then I go to sleep, then I go to
Work, then I go to sleep, then I go
Work, then I go to sleep, then I go to
Work, then I go to sleep, then I go
The fool is only ever happy when he's not in control
When he figures out how to rent his soul
Am I productive in a state of learned helplessness?
The fool is only ever happy if the answer is yes
Try to get some sleep
Try to find some work
Try to find some sleep
Try to get some work
Try to get some sleep
Try to find some work
Try to find some sleep
Try to get some work
Try to get some sleep

How it Goes
06:14

I'm tripping up stumbling coming up for air
Wishing that I mattered, no matter what I wear
Try to look up, head out of the page
Surrounded on all sides by everybody's cage
That's how it goes
That's why no one knows
That's how it goes
That's why no one knows
Do you ever wonder where
Where the line is that people start to care
Do you ever wonder how
How to be present in the here and now
Do you ever wonder why
Everyone’s a rebel when they tell ya what they're standing for
But when it comes to be it’s looking like you listen – more and more
I heard the Virgin Mary came to you
You said you wanted to die
She closed her eyes, and said her prayer
But you couldn't tell her why
That's how it goes
That's why no one knows
That's how it goes
That's why no one knows
Do you ever wonder what
What gives the preppy kids the famous preppy strut
Do you ever wonder who
Who would ever wanna spend their life with you
Do you ever wonder why
No way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way
It's happening to me
No way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way
It's happening to me
No way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way
It's happening to me
No way, no way, no way, no way, no way, way, way, way, way, way, way
That's how it goes
That's why no one knows
That's how it goes
That's why no one knows
Do you ever wonder how
How they come up with the things they allow
Do you ever wonder when
When political donations come around again
Do you ever wonder why
That's how it goes
That's why no one knows
Do you ever wonder what
What the photogenic people touched up
Do you ever wonder where
Where you can go and avoid all the stares
That's how it goes
That's why no one knows
That's how it goes
That's why no one knows
Do you ever wonder who
Who thought up all the things that we do
Do you ever wonder when
When you wont be able to do what you now can
Do you ever wonder why

Practices and conferences and all the in between
I put my life on hold when i was only seventeen
For this brief moment I’m on top of the world
I’m the center of attention haven’t you heard
I don't need your pity, but I'll take it any way
Now it's 3 am and now a 4 is like a 10
and I'm about to make the same mistake I always make again
With the right amount of scumbag, and the perfect dose of mean
Even Ms. America will fall down to her knees
I grew up in the suburbs I know better than you
there's nothing that a bored white kid wont do so
step right up and sink your teeth in, be a man and quit your queefing
Glory
To the bro
Honor
His name
Glory
To the bro
Honor
His name
It's the ending of the world
The ending of the world
Run for your lives
It's the ending of the world
It's the ending of the world
The ending of the world
Run for your lives
It's the ending of the world
Amen

Schizophrenic Nightmare

Could have been some time ago
Six weeks post post-coital glow
Give me a call you should know
Schizophrenic nightmare
Schizophrenic nightmare
In and out of consciousness
Apprehension grew
She said I have a ball and chain
fitted just for you
Sky cracked open virgins bled
I think that night went to my head
Life is melting all around
It's black and white without a sound
Now I'm at the edge of what I knew
White duvets and softer shades of blue
Showers, cravings, pots and pans and knives
The bottom pick of tens of billions of lives
Schizophrenic nightmare
This is a God damn nightmare
Could it be the night of lies
That gave earth shattering surprise
Life of action no regret
None of this should be happening yet, you know
I thought I was insulated
All safe from the curse
Hungry for my common sense
Passion is the worst
Now and then I think of when it was
Doing things I wanted just because
And if you ask me would I do it again
It burns it stings it pulls from inside
Potential opportunities never tried
And if you ask me am I doing ok
Schizophrenic nightmare
Schizophrenic nightmare

He Really Manned Up
03:34

I'll never be alone again
This is it now, this is the end
I wanted to live good and have my time
Pick up and go, a man in my prime
Put my head down easy any hour of the night
Take a minute in my car without triggering a fight
I guess we are a family
The most unholy trinity
So this is it for the rest of my life
A hated and trapped, unlawfully married wife
When all i see is a bastard spawn
Who should have been a stain on a rubber long gone
It's a 10% chance and it's gotta be me
When Jimmy rolls the dice but he walks around free
I wanna do it right but it's not what I'm about
But it's ok I think I figured it out
We are getting closer to the day
Where this life leaves but the new ones stays

And as we realize
We might not be so civilized
I ask why but you say it's the only way
Say it's how we got from pagans, here today
All enemies foreign and domestic
All enemies foreign and domestic
All enemies foreign and domestic
All enemies foreign and domestic
And as the thoughts pile up
Can you sell you mother's prayers are they...worth enough
A new reality is born today
But tomorrow everybody else seems to know just what to say
All enemies foreign and domestic
All enemies foreign and domestic
All enemies foreign and domestic
All enemies foreign and domestic
The revolution's over get back to work
You come back quick you might not get hurt
Pick your binge and grab your couch
Max your card yeah it's what it's all about
This is it boys get a life
A heavy mortgage and a wife
Look at you now, you live like a king
Stick with us you wont need anything

What Happened to Me
07:40

RPGs and stripes on plaid
Books and nerdy undergrad
I problly never had a chance
You know what it seems to me?
Everyone is socially
And fiscally a cardboard cutout
Conforming just to have my fun
Just like Feynman's minimum
I can do it better than them!
I walk in and it's half past 5 past 4
Everyone's passed out on the floor
Doesn't anyone want more
I don't know what happened to me
I don't know what happened to me
I don't know
Outside the ring contrarians
That sickening fake wisdom grin
I'll out-weirdo all of you
Rock is gone, Rock is dead
If I can't find a band instead
I'll make songs in my parent's basement
I don't know what happened to me
I don't know what happened to me
I don't know
Behold, conspired against
The universe, and all of my friends
I swear I will
Beg, plead, steal, scrape and claw
Make enemies of them all
Just for this
I know what happened to me
I know now
Chemistry, biology, asking me, to know why when
College teams, Astrology, seem to me, there for the losers
Underneath, philosophy, demand to me, to know why when
Heresy, they're on to me, have a seat, I'll tell you everything
When I think about it, I just barely think it was me
All i ask of you is just a common courtesy
Make it easy on my ears when you think of me
So I, I can be, at peace
