rabbit’s foot in my palm
swallow it slowly
hear it thumpin’
feel it thumpin’
don’t feel nothin’
don’t feel nothin’
I don’t wanna be on stage
lemon squeezing, keep your eyes off me
I don’t wanna be on stage
lemon squeezing, keep your eyes off me
I don’t wanna be on stage
lemon squeezing, keep your eyes off me
I don’t wanna be on stage

my head is not a poster child of a clean boy
thought I did not have to remind of the time
did not care where hit balls went
so when they’re born I’ll teach stitching (not pitching) to ‘em
why’d you have to put me down
go ahead and swing that around
why’d you have to
you said, it would better equip me
but I, can’t help but wonder
why I

the things we loved, weren’t too special
I’ll untangle all of your cables
a triangle lot and some string
I’m trying a lot (at least I think)
cheek in palm and faceless daughter
I sit waiting: lamb to slaughter
stupid luck, cursing the clotter
I just thank my mom and father
stars above feed me your fodder
can you spare a single dollar
worn so thin – swear he’s a goner
I am such a useless daughter

listening time
talk's over
shut your mouth
stop, sober
night
light
device
please
I don't want another case of the
harsh words on my psyche
I'll cover the opening with a nice thin piece of aluminum
and hope the wasps won't want to eat
insects, pouring through the hole
wipe my brain out
and now she can't fall asleep
what a pain,
how you gotta keep that in your psyche
like some kind of fucking copper cage
sitting on the sill
in a broken shill
with their metal teeth
please don't come for me
try to get 'em out
try to make 'em gone
tell 'em once or twice
please leave my device

what you want from me, I can't let you do
what you look for in me, I'd let you to do
but I'm still left standin'
and I can't be plannin', no
I feel them walkin' on me
nestin' inside my body
centipede marchin' slowly
whisper it to me closely
I feel them walkin' on me
nestin' inside my body
centipede marchin' slowly
whisperin' to me closely

I couldn't take
that conversation
I couldn't take
that conversation
I can't take
this conversa–
and it pains me to say,
that I'll go away
I'm sorry, I promise
I won't be what you wanted
I cannot, try harder,
flow deeper into ether
I don't want, to explain
myself when, I can't take
anymore, of this shit
you hate me 'cause I hate it
when you speak, so low of
me I can't take it–I can't

don't change any variables
don't touch the suits in charge
don't tell me how much I've lost
don't tell me how much I've lost
it's a [unintelligible]
it's your [unintelligible]
don't care about a true base
just care about people
do the same do it I do
at least play by rules
use punk songs as way
stop posing—just talk
the shit you need talk
have fun [unintelligible] talk
stop being afraid

we made a charm
he waits until you leave
he waits until it’s safe
he trusts that you all believe
he wants her (they need him)
why are they believing
obvious deception
just shift your perception
he wants her
you need him
can’t tell them
and when he’s home
he’s never close
the kettle’s hot
turn back the clock
and when he’s home
he’s never close
the kettle’s hot
turn back the clock
tony, please
say something
tony, please
find something
tony, please
say something
tony, please
