Villain 01:38
You are a villain you don't know me at all You are a villain and you ruined my life You may have had me once but I've got you now You've been a villain all the time You are a villain every day You are a villain every night You've been a villain your whole life Why don't you face up and admit it for once It doesn't have to be to me that you confess your villany Go to a therapist or go on TV public access and tell them the truth You have to tell someone the truth You are a villain all the time You've been a villain all the while You have the most annoying smile Why don't you tear up and admit it for once I just want to see you cry

I Will Die 02:24
You have eyes like a cow staring out at me You have a voice like I don't know what inside me You have eyes like a cow staring out at me You have a voice like I don't know what inside me And I will die, I will die Before I eat a cow with your eyes You are the moon and the stars around which I orbit You are the grass, you are the ground, you keep me here And when you cease to keep me here you won't disappear When I collapse you'll still remain And I will die, I will die Before I eat a cow with your eyes I would die, I would die Before I ate a cow with your eyes

You taught me how to smoke weed, I never learned You taught me how to smoke cigarettes, it never worked But you tried all the time And I wanted to see 'Cause I could see coming out of my mouth, oh If I could know my breath won't hesitate Maybe I could write it down for you If you don't remember me I won't be sad I'll just try to recall the fucking good times we had I'll try with all of my might But I'm having some trouble 'Cause I can see coming out of your mouth, oh I just know your breath won't hesitate Maybe I could write it down for you 'Cause I can see coming out of your mouth, oh I just know your breath won't hesitate I will always write it down for you It's always difficult cider, when it Comes to you I don't know how to get started I'm always walking into walls It's always difficult cider, when it Comes to you I don't know how it got started I was born to walk into your wall

I think I can't stand the way I feel I can smash in all your doors but it's not real And I know how you feel I know it's not real I sort of can't help the way I am You can hate it all you want but it's the same And I know it's just how I am But you know we're not the same Because I'm not real and that's okay I'm really calm in my place Remember you are always tender And remember it doesn't mean what you think Because no one's ever going to be endlessly alive If my palms are the only sensitive parts I have left I will scrape them on all the doors Because I know I've got to squeeze it out The rest of me, I'll use it till it stops You know I'm not real but that's okay I'm really calm in my place Remember you are always tender And remember it doesn't mean what you think Because no one's ever going to be endlessly alive I'm always terminating and transitioning to somewhere 'Cause I sort of can't stand the way I feel I can smash in all your doors but it's not real If I know how you feel 'Cause I know it's not real
5.
I think you're the only one Who knows I wish I was smart I'm okay with being dumb and I make up for it But there are things that I can't do You know that, I'm sorry You know me now You took the words right out of my mouth I think you're the only one I could hold on all the time I can't be your only one though 'Cause there are places I can't go You know that, I'm sorry You know me now You took the words right out of my mouth There are places I don't go I know you know, okay?
6.
I want to know where I go, always I want to know where I go, always I want to go where I go, always I want to go when I go, sometimes In the endless morning with your glasses glowing I want to stay where you are, always But I left you in the evening with your city all breaking around you You will keep going till you can't find yourself, that's how I found you Your mind contracts with your studies and actions Builds to explosions like pictures of fractals I want to stop myself from going, from going I want to stay and I go
7.
One day I'll call you up and I will end up saying to you The words that everyone eventually ends up wanting to say to you I'm gonna kill myself and it'll be your fault You'll have to explain to my mom why my body's all crushed on the asphalt Sorry or not, I'm damned and I'm doomed And I wish I'd kissed you in that horrible empty room But all things considered, I don't feel so bad I know sorry doesn't matter, I learned that from my dad And besides I've always been mean inside I want you to know that it isn't your fault If I drink Draino or end up sleeping in a nuclear vault People do and say all these things to you because you believe them People throw their bullets at you because your chest is always open to receive them Ready or not, I'm damned and you're doomed And I still want to kiss you in all your horrible empty rooms Because I feel such tenderness when I remember you didn't know I'd hurt you All things considered I can't imagine the feeling isn't worth it I've always been mean inside You've always been me, you've always known my insides
8.
I think you're the only one Who would ever say I'm smart But I'm okay with being dumb, I make up for it But there are things that I can't do And you know that, I'm sorry You know me now You took the words right out of my mouth I think you're the only one I could hold on all the time I can't be your only one though 'Cause there are places I can't go And you know that, I'm sorry You know me now You took the words right out of my mouth There are places I don't go I know you know, okay?

I'll tear out your guts if that's what you want The only pain you don't expect All soft and sweet inside your organs The only love you can't reflect When you wake up at first try to pull all your skin on Maybe you would have made it if you could still see But all your vision blurs like basketballs You're just not fast enough for me I want you dead or alive and I'll find you at the end of life I want you dead or alive and I'll find you at the end of your life You fell down the stairs every time that I touched you You slipped on your laces, you couldn't breathe I would have tied your shoes if you had asked for it But you'd never take that much from me I want you dead or alive and I'll find you at the end of life I want you dead or alive and I'll find you at the end of your life I want you dead or alive and I know that that just isn't right I want you dead or alive with a power I can never drive in you I'll take your intestines out and I'll hang them I'll hang them up on the wall for you And you'll be happy in the old way Without all those fluids rushing through The tubes of your heart all over our bedspread And all of my lungs all over your shoes I would have bought you new shoes if you asked for them But that wasn't good enough for you, I'm just not good enough for you I want you dead or alive and I'll find you at the end of life I want you dead or alive and I'll find you at the end of your life I want you dead or alive and I know that that just isn't right I want you dead or alive with this power I can never drive in you It'll never rise in you

I'm Nervous 01:59
I don't say no when I mean yes I just say no and then what happens I guess is you keep going All right and I know I can take things really slow And I'd probably lose my head if I crash into it And I should be up and moving before everything is lost But I'm afraid your head's about to have a bullet inside it I don't say shit I just say fuck And I have been that way since I was really super young I get caught on security cameras smoking underground And I'll get what I deserve if all my shambling footage swerves And I fall way deep inside the subway tunnel It could crush me to my life and carry on that wayward night With my stinking yellow teeth under its clean magnetic wheels I don't even know when I mean yes I've been educated and that means I guess that when I'm nervous I know I earned and I learned it All right I know that I can be really slow So it's hard to believe my head could have room for this But that I never saw this start in the contours of your violent heart Is something for which I cannot forgive myself I'll just keep going
