about

Written on a Monday. Recorded on a Wednesday. Part of the angry loss theme we've got going on.

lyrics

All I need
is a couple dozen therapists
don't even care if its
put me in the chair strap me to the air
schizophrenic grandmother
psychotic father
wear my coat of arms
when I go out as a martyr
The market's filled with people
I can't talk to
lest I read them
I don't want to
repeat this off-and-on truth
I feed them all the wrong foods
and beat them senseless
leave their boots cemented
bodies in the trenches
no trunk or car to get away
I hid away, in my head
Identify by a different piece of 'pape
I break my legs on played mistakes
and take a break to hope its dead
but never knows my name
I never said what was sent
forever lasts is ever in finite
the impotent state of the state
makes me
take all the time
and put it away in the base-meent
afraid of free, I take all the chances
every opportunity to land from the building standing
death is nothing new to me
I live and feel banished

All I need
is a regiment of medicine
I know you never said I'd ever be
much more than dead to friends
but damn, I'll see
just how far I can get on ten cents of liquid
pitch a tent in difference
tell them I will be the bitch
the guinea pig and swallow shit
I slip into the hollow pit
the hole within the fault of bliss
and follow swift like all the fish
I call bullshit and fall on in
but no one gets the stick
and so
I'm all that's been
lifted like a sticker on the lid
of some old tin
I fill a niche
I feel the itch
build and break like waves that you forget
ice flows that kill a ship
I s'pose I'm ill but no one's pissed
the bolsheviks show me not as this
but homies hold me nodding
all the businesses are flawed as
whispers in the wind are lost
like all the solvents
problems I'm never close to solving
all the things that I'm involved in
often falling off the ball and
all-in, I'm calling this the hardest
office ever offered
dolly parton
pardon me as I spew garbage
on the lawn that's
