Oh I'm training
To die on my feet
I got a mouthful of cancer
Cuz you are what you eat
Oh I'm dying
Like we do every week
Til we get what we seek
Little by little
We get what we seek

Suck it in
Suck it in
Please hammer don't hurt 'em
It's not a sin
To pause for thought
Applause for substance
Use is positive
In the throbbing club dance
Breathe
Breathe
Aspirate
Every ass you love and hate
It's not polite
To show your hand
Before I present
The opening band
Find me
Wasting away again
Fuck Margaritaville
I'll be festering
Suck it up
Buttercup
Didn't you know
I had enough
It's not polite
To show up the headliner
It's right
To always be kinder
Find me
Wasting away again
Fuck Margaritaville
I'll be festering
Breathe
Breathe
Aspirate
We won't make it out at this rate
Well at least we had a good time
We can say
At least we fucked
Everything away
Find me
Wasting away again
Fuck Margaritaville
I'll be festering
Suck it in
Suck it in
Please hammer don't hurt 'em
It's not a sin

All good things die one day
All good things fade
I couldn't keep you in my life anyway
You were just below grade
All good things come to an end
You can't keep fishing for a line in the sand
All good things end
You put it on the table and you raise your hand
You always wanted nothing
You already wish for the end
You always wanted nothing
That's what I can give
You asked why not
Because there's always a second chance
We didn't come all this way, fucker
Not to even steal a glance
You want to feel my touch
There's always a second chance
We relied on happenstance
But I love you too much
Much too much
You always wanted nothing
You already wish for the end
You always wanted nothing
That's what I can give

Gorier and gorier
Gorier and gorier
Don't you love it
When I get gorier and gorier
You can't say I was absent
Nah
Can't say I wasn't there
I remember everything that happened
The terror
You awoke the horror
Unleashed a beast
Set free the dogs of war
And then just deceased
Please come back
You're everything I lack
Don't you love it
When I get gorier and gorier
I'm a fan of letting go
Unh
I'm a lover of hugs
I can't say no
But I'm hurting so much
Please come back
You're everything I lack
I could hold your weight
Like Atlas on my back
You had no hate
Just that uncanny knack
Please come back
You're everything I lack

Hiking Boots

With honours
Graduated with honours
My feet are so sore
I need new hiking boots
In the woods outdoors
I feel the aching in my foot
I feel the damp
In the morning light
Like a growing lamp
In my front room at night
Make my soul sore
I can't take it anymore
My feet are so tired
I need new hiking shoes
Something inspired
Something waterproof
I feel the cold
Like a gentle nip
When you are tired and old
And ready to slip
I bought a new pair
A hundred bucks
The price was fair
The fit like a glove
My feet are going, keep going
Stepping to the dirt
Nothing that they're owing
Keeping me alert
It's an apocalypse
On my legs
Aww, the feeling of
A long forgotten dregs
I dreamed
Of a better place
Where the paths
Were wide and spacious
Make my soul sore
I can't take it anymore
My soul
Is a brick of cheese
It's carved for
The comedian's sleaze
The miles I hiked
To get this high
The holes in my soul
Don't forget why

Double

Fifteen years ago
I made a decision
Like any other before
There was no wishing
Just a conscious effort
To be a good man
Only one of those I carried forward
I do what I can
Well it's not good enough
And it never was
Just a lot of fluff
And no reason, just because
The trail ran cold
When you severed all ties
With friends new and old
Who had told little lies
Who knows if you get to lead a double life
Who knows if you get to lead a double life
I'm a peacock
With my plumes gone grey
A flightless bird walking
Past my heyday
A kind word that hits you
Right in the gut
When everything you knew
Is flipped downside up
Who knows if you get to lead a double life
Who knows if you get to lead a double life
Shocking I know
That I forgot all the reasons
You finally let go
Of the memories that displeased you
And if you threw out
The baby with the dirty water
Maybe you knew about
The hurting for longer

Soprano Notes

Sit beside a god
It shakes the whole room
Feel shudders in the body
Feel thunder in the gloom
Hit soprano notes
The gods don't hear a thing
No god reads what I wrote
Or listens to me sing
The bird was sitting in my lap
The lake was calm, so calm
It was a fitting trap
I held the bird in my palm
Sit beside a god
The nerd's a racist fuck
Not every god is blessing, nah
Some of them just fucking suck
Hit the high notes
Feel it in your head
Feel it in your throat
God is dead
