Blind 03:41
i'm gonna paint my room another color of blue and i'm gonna fill my bookshelf up with books that don't remind me of you. and i'm gonna wear my watch on my right hand and i'm gonna tear my heart out count down, i'm a different man. i believe that i am blind. (i believe in what i see and i'll believe in everything and) maybe we'll spend some time together when you come back from LA i don't wanna fall in love with you i just want to destroy everything. can i taste the colors as they pour out my mouth? and can i taste yr heartbreak before i bury it straight in the ground? i believe that i am blind. (i believe in what i see and i'll believe in everything and i'll believe in what they tell me i'll believe in anything.) i'm just a fox in the snow and yr just a dove on my tail i don't wanna fight anymore i just wanna fail how i fail. i'm just a fox in the snow and yr just a hound on my trail get yr blue eyes out of my head and they'll paint us gold in hell. i believe that i am blind. (i believe in what i see and i'll believe in everything and i'll believe in what they tell me i'll believe in anything.)

Rancher 02:56
I remember feelin’ down, out in Alphabet City-- I was savin’ lots of skrill a skipped meal at a time. Shaved my head, cuz I was sad. “SEEKING HEAD, NOT PITY” Weak knees, dripping dreams--just another night. Max said the show was dead, guess I’ll head home early. Passin’ men passin’ out. This is real. I’m alive. (It's surreal, I wanna die!) “Come and hang!” “I’m away.” Steph says, “Don’t worry.” Key in door, hit the floor--I can feel! I survived! Night is heavy. Bed is empty. I’m sweating-- every dream is a sign. Now I’m bored, sick, and sore. “Don’t you feeling like cryin’?” “It’s whatcha get for lettin' bodies keep you up so late.” Waste away every day. Just a gaunt, drawn guy-- a libertine rake plagued by nicotine shakes. Now I’m choking-- muscle confusion, fruit smoothies, light pollution. I fear that I’m falling into disuse. I just want to kiss you. And I don’t remember going down in the basement, but i do remember waking up on the cement. And I don’t remember any of their faces, but i remember waking up covered in semen.

Healer 03:16
Couldn’t tell L. wasn’t comin’, Couldn’t believe in Nothing. Never measured in miles, but why not? Sleepin’ or drownin’ in honey, sourin’, wastin’ my money-- harrowing dreams--oh alkaline, no! “Harder,” he said. We were fine. Givin’ in, giving up trying. Forgiving and given away. (Way, way out.) I was awake! I know I was awake. I was rake, I know. I was rake. Saved, but never stopped runnin’, suckin’ for succor, not lovin’-- seeking a seer, a scene, a soul. Couldn’t believe in No One. Couldn’t shake the repulsion-- maybe we make, we mate, we mold. I was awake, I know! I was awake. I couldn’t wait, oh no, I couldn’t wait. I was a fake, I know. I was a fake. You know I was a fake. I couldn’t wait, no no, I couldn’t wait. In a state, oh God! In a state. I was awake! I know! I was awake!

Counter 02:18
i gotta lose weight by winter so i can enjoy christmas dinner and i gotta stop drinking bourbon but nothing else is really working and i'm trying to fill this hole in my head yr memories keep slipping into my bed and there's a diamond shining in yr eyes you laugh, i just hope i fucking make it this time. don't count me out, i'm not all in. well K, about the life we tried to have together: i don't know -- well, i do -- fuck it, whatever. so now i'm mapping out the planets of scripture to fit the rhythm of the godhead within her. did you want a subscription to the issues of my younger days? well here it is! don't count me out, i'm not all in. if there's a curtain then i'm certain that i will get to the end but every time i look for a sign i find my heart asleep 'round the bend. if there's a curtain then i'm certain that i will get to the end. but every time i look for a sign i find my heart is screaming, "California again!" and now the stage is set for every beginner and i'm exhausted and the coffee is bitter and there's a distance growing in yr eyes don't blink, i'm just a fucking loser in time. don't count me out i'm not all in.
