mother nature
why dya wanna hurt me
everything's on fire
the smoke, we keep breathing, the smoke, we keep breathing
nature
mother's coming for you
you're up past your bedtime
and it's time to start sleeping, time to start sleeping
but i look in the morning
the sky has turned red with blood
and the ground has fell shallow
with bones, with bones, with bones
DISASTER, DISASTER
the world is spinning faster
and we're leaving it all to the rubble
DISASTER, DISASTER
the planet is a bastard
that is kicking us all into space
in disgrace
mother nature
i keep saying sorry
nothing seems to fix it
the smoke we keep breathing, the smoke, we keep breathing
nature
mother's tryna call you
why'd you never call her
she needs your attention, she needs your attention

$20 Tattoo (MQ)

I got a twenty dollar tattoo last night and it burns like hell
A stick and poke from a guy at a show and it’s already starting to swell
He was hangin’ out in the back of a van with a bled out pen
He had some flash and was short on cash so I said “What the hell, let me in”
Y’know the crusty kids ain’t too clean traditionally
But I figured some ink would get me some cred in the scene
I got a twenty dollar tattoo last night and I ain’t too smart
It’s supposed to be Crass but it looks like ass and the dude said it’s a work of art
The spot on my thigh is bleeding and why did I take this on
I rode my bike to the venue today but of course what the fuck he was gone
Y’know the crusty kids ain’t too clean traditionally
But for all of this anguish I say fuck my cred in the scene
(it ain’t worth it, fuck this)
Y’know the crusty kids ain’t too clean traditionally
But I figured some ink would get me some cred in the scene
I got a twenty dollar tattoo last night and it burns like hell
A stick and poke from a guy at a show and it’s already starting to swell
He was hangin’ out in the back of a van with a bled out pen
He had some flash and was short on cash so I said “What the hell, let me in”

Burner Phone (Alian)

Should’ve trusted my gut when it warned me
Blamed the jitters, now that you knew how to make me hurt
I’m conflicted over you inflicting this pain upon me
I guess I just don’t appreciate the finer arts
I've said my piece and made my peace, as I explained
You know how I am, I always need the last word
Now whatever sorry excuse of an apology you may have made
Is sitting on a burner phone at the bottom of Lake Huron
When was your love supposed to trickle down?
Before or after I sold all my friends for a minute of yours?
Love’s a losing game, but that minute I thought I’d won
When you’re starved, you lose track of the hours
I've said my piece and made my peace, as I explained
You know how I am, I always need the last word
Now whatever sorry excuse of an apology you may have made
Is sitting on a burner phone at the bottom of Lake Huron
I've said my piece and made my peace, as I explained
You know how I am, I always need the last word
Now whatever sorry excuse of an apology you may have made
Is sitting on a burner phone at the bottom of Lake Huron
Hello loneliness my friend
It’s so good to see you yet again
This time under ideal conditions
On the waterfront with a turquoise sky
No embarrassment and no denial
Probably my favorite rendition
I can’t wait to start my next fuck up,
I’ll stay by your side for a while,
I’ll meet you again in the buttercups
But our ways part for now
Hello loneliness my friend
It’s so good to see you yet again

I’ll meet you again in the buttercups
But our ways part for now
I can’t wait to start my next fuck up,
I’ll stay by your side for a while,
I’ll meet you again in the buttercups
But our ways part for now, so I’ll kiss you goodbye

This is gonna fall apart
This is gonna tumble down
And there’s no fun in “I told you so”
When everybody saw it coming
At least I did my part
At least I tried my best
But what’s my best when
Nobody’s ready for what comes next
oooooh
This is a disaster, disaster
oooooh
This is a disaster, disaster
The writing’s on the wall
The cracks are in the plaster
When the signal sounds, I’ll hit the ground
But nobody wants to pull it
We say it’s one for all
We might believe that’s true
But what do we know when
All for one means none for you
oooooh
This is a disaster, disaster
oooooh
This is a disaster, disaster
There’s safety in the known
There’s comfort in the same
But nothing is certain when
Someone keeps changing the rules of the game
I’d like to think I’ve grown
I’d like to think I’ve learned
I hope when it’s over I walk away
unscarred and unburned
oooooh
This is a disaster, disaster
oooooh
This is a disaster, disaster
oooooh
This is a disaster, disaster
oooooh
This is a disaster, disaster

Last Night (Beck)

VERSE 1:
It's 4am and I've been trying to sleep
But all my thoughts keep
Racing through my head
I try to put those worries back on the shelf
So I smile to myself
And think of you instead
PRE-CHORUS:
You got a way... with words
You got a smile... that's true
You got a heart... like mine
And I love... dancing with you
CHORUS:
So come a little closer
And hold me tight
Music and motion
Everything feels right
All of the lights low
It's a lovely sight
So come a little closer
Like we did last night
VERSE 2:
It's not the first time I've felt this before
But I'm feelin' sure
This is here to stay
Because we're dancing under neon lights
And the moment is right
At least for today
(repeat PRE-CHORUS)
(repeat CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
And if you need a promise
You've got one from me
Find me on the dance floor
That's where I'll always be
(repeat CHORUS)
OUTRO:
Come a little closer
Like we did last night...
Come a little closer
Like we did last night...

Climb trees all night after sunset
Parachute down to the ground
Dig a shallow bowl in the dirt
Project a deep booming sound
Like a beacon piercing the horizon
Or a lighthouse, out to the sea
But there are no boats in the ocean
Only shipwreck debris

On Fire (Jamie Paige)

my heart's been broken up for far too long
been tired of tryin' to find a self in song
i'm not beguiled by a stagnant life
but there's no passion left and god knows why
but i got this feeling
so small but i hear it screaming
so easy to get the meaning
of a feeling oh so healing
and baby you're no denier
let the feeling take you higher
come and step into the pyre
you're the one that i desire
(so light that shit on FIRE)
burn it till the flame burns blue
and feel the feeling felt for you
together we'll be something new
(is it disaster? maybe!
LIGHT THAT SHIT ON FIRE!)
the pyre reaches towards the sky
a feeling felt for you and i
so take your wounds and cauterize
(come flick the lighter, baby
LIGHT THAT SHIT ON FIRE)
i can see the ember in your eyes
and all the things you feel you have to hide
so let the fire burn away those lies
and from the ashes, watch the phoenix rise
could it be much clearer?
when we pull each other nearer
come and look into the mirror
baby, you don't need to fear her
an electrifying sunbeam
that'll wake you from your bad dream
and a love that'll make our soul scream
(holy SHIT is that a motherfucking BLASEBALL REFERENCE)
(so light that shit on FIRE)
burn it till the flame burns blue
and feel the feeling felt for you
together we'll be something new
(is it disaster? maybe!
LIGHT THAT SHIT ON FIRE!)
the passion of the bonfire roar
my darling you can be much more
i'll show you what the fire is for
(committing arson, baby
LIGHT THAT SHIT ON FIRE)
come flick the lighter baby
light that shit on fire, fire
(repeat like 5 million times)

night sky, orange glow
not a star in sight
but through it all, through the smoke
watch the engines turn
heating up, freezing out
but we conquered the moon
and i’m sure the view is beautiful
watching it all burn
(chorus of voices saying burn)
how much longer will we wait to save our home
fires burning at the edge of all we’ve known
looking down from satellite
pretending we’re not where we are
drilling deeper, manifesting destiny
claiming all that we can see
but still it burns, and still we turn
can’t get away from a world on fire

[verse i]
when the first winds came to summon the storm
i begged, candle in the breeze
won’t you bring me close here and warm
so i don’t ever freeze
[verse ii]
you thought, how noble, to give oneself up
to bring a little light
so you kept yourself burning, burned out
until you couldn’t fight
[prechorus i]
the world isn’t safe for things like you and me
we never know
how to tell when a wind is just too strong
to handle ‘til it blows
[chorus i]
you may have broken my heart
and you may have torn me asunder
but i watched as you tore yourself apart
so i just can’t help but to wonder
disaster, disaster, what a mess we are
oh, my disaster, how do we go back to the start?
[verse iii]
i realized too late to be worth it
you were shaped all wrong
so i begged, oh, candle, please quit
and stay with me a little longer
[verse iv]
you told me the flame gave you purpose
and you’d have nothing left
but a wick that was cold, empty, worthless
a life much worse than death
[prechorus ii]
the world isn’t safe for things like you and me
we never know
how to make something good out of darkness
without paying the toll
[chorus ii]
you may have broken my heart
and you may have torn me asunder
but i watched as you tore yourself apart
so i just can’t help but to wonder
disaster, disaster, what a mess we are
oh, my disaster, how do we go back to the start?
[verse v]
i was young, pitifully dumb
to believe it was just tough
when our parts were more than our sum
i could never be enough
[verse vi]
in the end, though we saved each other
we couldn’t save ourselves
you’ve gone dark; dark, cold, and smothered
and now i’m lost as well
[chorus iv]
you may have broken my heart
i’d still rather keep you here with me
they say something better waits after dark
when the sun rises, we’ll finally be
[chorus v]
free
my disaster, we won’t have to be more than you and me
don’t burn for your light, just look up
and let yourself be
[chorus vi]
don’t burn for your light, just look up
and let yourself be

rudy
you’re killing it downtown
you’re quieter now
rudy
they’re calling out your name
it’s never been the same
rudy
i’m staying on target
my bitterness, my regret
rudy
they’re smoking out on the deck
they’re a rope around your neck
I was feeling fine for a while
then it came to me, then it came to me
then they put me away, then they put me away
I don’t know what to say, I don’t know what to say
Last night I was fine, tonight’s my last night
rudy
don’t look away now
they’re killing you downtown
rudy
the budgets gone tight
the pitchforks are out tonight
rudy
tell me you’re scared
you’re tired and underprepared
rudy
the lines are getting crossed
and you know that you lost, you lost
I was feeling fine for a while
then it came to me, then it came to me
then they put me away, then they put me away
I don’t know what to say, I don’t know what to say
Last night I was fine, tonight’s my last night
tried to call my friends but the line was cut
(alone)
tried to sleep in but my time was up
(alone)
light it up on fire I’m going out tonight
I’m going out tonight
gonna tear through the district
rip their world apart brick by brick
not going out without a fight
tonight’s my last night
I was feeling fine for a while
then it came to me, then it came to me
then they put me away, then they put me away
I don’t know what to say, I don’t know what to say
Last night I was fine, tonight’s my last night

Five dollar burner phone
If I make it out I’m never coming home
Cuz the world’s on fire and I’m not fine
And I’m waiting for you to pickup on the landline
Watching news broadcasts in black and white
I think color gave out just becuase of spite
The world’s on fire and I’m not fine
And I’m waiting for you to pickup on the landline
And the phone rings three times (x2)
I hang up before you can find
The words to say I love you
I cast the thing aside
International spy they say
They’ll kill anyone any day
But I just want to find my way home
I just want to go home (x2)
Twenty twenty twenty four hours to go
Until the bombs fly high and I’m all alone
Unless I can get those secret codes
And tell the world through my little phone “It’s ok”
My hands are sweating as I find the phrase
That will hopefully avert the end of days
I want to get those secret codes
And tell you through my little phone “It’s ok”
And the phone rings
I hang up before you can find
The words to say I love you
I cast the thing aside
International spy they say
They’ll kill anyone any day
But I just want to find my way home
I just want to go home (x2)

Lonely Rudy (Louisa)
02:45

|

(intro)
there is an old saying
the wicked never rest
well- god? he took the seventh
so i think that fails that test
but if that ain’t enough now,
another i’ll supply
for someone “spared of resting”
lonely rudy sure could lie
(verse 1)
oklahoma born and bred
high school sweetheart, newly wed
muscle car- the picture of “tough”
rudy on that wedding day
made a vow to always stay
but two weeks in one woman ain’t enough
(chorus 1)
oh rudy, lonely rudy
do all roads lead to roam?
you’ve got two precious children
and a lovely wife at home
life isn't a game, boy
do you still need to score?
you’ll lose what you’ve got
if you keep lookin’ out for more
(verse 2)
i’ll tell you now- i am that wife
swore to love him all my life
thought my man was faithful and true
he kept his secrets, four years long
couldn’t tell nothin’ was wrong
till he called me “luanne” and i just knew
(chorus 2)
oh rudy, lonely rudy
why did you have to roam?
were we lacking something in
this family and this home?
you’d tricked me long enough then
that i could not ignore
before long i knew i had to
settle up that score
(bridge)
he snuck back drunk late one night
woke our son, gave him a fright
and that? that was the last fucking straw
after that, well who can say?
i plead the fifth, and by the way,
it’s not that hard to evade the law
unlike rudy, i keep vows, i never lied
i swore that i would love him up until the day he died
(chorus 3)
oh rudy, lonely rudy
there’s nothing left to say
if you hadn’t been so lonely
you’d still be alive today
at least you helped me see it
your rotten heartless core
with the worms to keep you company
at least you won’t be lonely any more

Ladies and gentlemen, tonight’s next match is scheduled for one fall, and is a no disqualification street match for the FSW Heavyweight championship. Weighing in at 228 pounds and hailing from Halifax Virginia, your challenger Tank Morgan.
And your Fourth Strike Wrestling HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD: Tony Neeeeeedles
[TANK]
I'm approaching the throne that's built
on the bones of the ones who came before me
But your flaw is that you let it go to your head
I fight for everyone
who's had to claw
to see the setting sun
I will burn this tyranny
[NEEDLES]
You can't see
You're fighting
For nothing but
false ideals
I am reality
You reach for the belt
like a fucking life raft
I’ll leave your body
broken and lifeless
[TANK]
I won't let you down
I can't let you down
I let you believe in me
[NEEDLES]
While you're blind
By your insecurity
I will take
what rightfully belongs to me
[TANK]
Inside these ring ropes
I write my destiny
I won't let
someone like you
Take it away from me
I'm not dead yet
(Ring the bell!)
(Ring the bell!)
Metal needles pierce my skin
But I'm still standing
(Ring the bell!)
(Ring the bell!)
[NEEDLES]
Ring the bell!
Ring the bell!
Ring the bell!
God damn you, ring the bell!
[Outro (Both)]
Inside these ring ropes
I write my destiny
I won't let
Someone like you
Take it away from me
Metal needles pierce my skin
But I'm Still Standing
I won't let someone like you
take this away from me.

they say the third time that a person dies
is the last time that their name has been said
but i think that i might just be an exception to that idea
'cause i'm just gonna keep on living in your head
it’s been some time but i find it’s still hard
and maybe i should think about other things
but moving on is strange, and i swear i won't ruminate
i know it's just a fucked up way of coping
and i know that i gotta get out of my shell sometime
we got matching tattoos the last time that you came here
of a bullet through a heart as if it were
something that we held dear
we got our twenty dollar tattoos from the shop out on the pier
of a bullet to the heart even though
there’s nothing really in there,
no there’s nothing really in there
night after night i'm sleepless in my bed,
and so i keep finding myself up on the internet
i keep tossing and turning and why can't i just/stop myself from thinking
of the stuff that we would say and knew we'd regret
hey - i think that i should be getting paid overtime
‘cause it turns out that grief is much slower than setting it all on fire
i just wanna be your focus, i just wanted you to know this,
know that i'm fine, i'm fine, i'm fine, i’m fine i’m - oh god i'm just so fucking tired
and i know that i gotta get over this sometime
we got matching tattoos the last time that you came here
of a bullet through a heart as if it were
something that we held dear
we got our twenty dollar tattoos from the shop out on the pier
of a bullet to the heart even though
there’s nothing really in there,

i saw a psychic
and she told me
you were coming home soon
and i believed her
cause i cannot stand
another faithless
day down by the river
while i wait and wait for you
i saw your mother
and god help me
but i bit down on my tongue
even hopes a bitter drink
and i dont know what you’d think
of where i get hope from and
and you got that from your childhood home
don’t you ask me
where the rolling river goes
cause i dont know
and i do not want to know
saw a numerologist
and asked him to read
seconds of my life
asked where god would find me
why faith never dignifies me
and how far as im aware of time
im seconds off im never quite aligned
i saw him frown
i saw him pray for me without the nerve
to speak the words
and i went right back to the river
and i tried to bathe it off
and i tried to be a baptist
but im still just seconds off
don’t you ask me
where the rolling river goes
cause i dont know
and i do not want to know
so i saw the undertaker
fingers with all rings
of many stones and gold
tried to turn my pockets out
sent pennies falling graceless
to the ground i saw it cross her then
it wouldnt be enough to bring you home
and im a saint now
im the patron of all
beatup dawn commutes
and i think faith’s for those with healthy homesteads
rosarys and rings of gold when
youve got nothing left
there is no food of faith just
pennies in your hand
don’t you ask me
where the rolling river goes
cause i dont know
and i do not want to know
i go back to the river
and i dont think it means
anything at all
ive been witherd bone-deep
i keep heckling your ghost see
i give everything ive left and let it sink
and now theres nothing but to drink
deep from my open palms
and pray in time that summer calls me down
and i let it revive me
let the river crucify me
i let everybody in and i let
everybody see me as i am
and i will see your loving face again
i will see your loving face again
mercy, i gave you all that i had left
i will raise you from the river bed
don’t you ask me
where the rolling river goes
cause i dont know
and i do not want to know

You're acting pretty sus around me
you're acting pretty sus
can't tell if you are real around me
why are you so sus?
You're acting pretty sus around me
you're acting pretty sus
can't tell if you are real around me
why are you so sus?
There's a traitor in disguise
I can see with my own eyes
It's not too late to give them something
More than they could ever ask for
The needles piled on my desk
Will fit inside my wounded chest
I hope some day I'll capture you
And you'll deserve it, I know it's true
Fuck the haters, talking trash
I'll just wait here with my tasks
You can get me, you can try
The last time you did someone died
My plate is empty, fill it up
I'll just break another cup
The engine's fixed, the stars aligned
But you'll be stuck here in my mind
You're acting pretty sus around me
you're acting pretty sus
can't tell if you are real around me
why are you so sus?
You're acting pretty sus around me
you're acting pretty sus
can't tell if you are real around me
why are you so sus?
