Duchovny 04:51
I sit around by the lake Counting ducks – 1 and then 8 Hundred – they start to circulate They whip that shit up into a hurricane If it is beautiful it really is I am a shitlord – no I am a lord of hell– yes In this life we don’t have much time When I think of what I’ve got I start losing my mind If it is beautiful it really is I look at some stars in the middle of the day At night I plug a straw into my brain I drink a smoothie of my thoughts I am an ignorance holocaust If it is beautiful it really is (if it’s not then what are you living for?) (beauty is not what it’s for)

Looking 4 U 03:36
When I went looking 4 u In the cosmetics section of Kroger I found something to hold to Beneath the lights and a mirror Looking to make your skin clearer To wonder if I could see through you To see myself in your molecules If you could understand that you are understood (I’m in love with the love that I feel for myself) I am a man No I’m a human You sent me off To find some cumin So we could make stew So we could roast some chickpeas There are so many things that we could make If you could understand that you are understood (I’m in love with the love that I feel for myself) If I could understand that I am understood too (I’m in love with the love that I feel for everyone else) I wouldn’t have to do all the silly things that I do Like putting these French fries in my nostrils Like they’re my antennas and I’m looking 4 u Looking for a signal Looking for something better to do Than to live my life without you

Turn off your phone for the way that you’re feeling Skip all the stones you’ve collected on weekends And left in the glove box of your car Step into the river it’s cooler in there You can wash all the fictions right out of your hair Let them color the water and sand And a waterfall crushes you And a rainbow cuts through you And an optional feature that you knew Would always be useful goes unused You could wring the water out onto your feet And feel the cool drips in the thick August heat Let the dead leaves stick to your soles Find your phone up the shore and it’s battery worn Drive around for hours to get home Let your headlights dissolve in the light of the morning Somewhere in the world someone new is named After someone who recently died Every moment takes another moment to adjust To the moment that’s just arrived My name is dust

I did not think No, I did not think So I did not speak And you did not hear I could’ve told you That the end was near But I did not think So there was no end And that’s such a good thing Yeah, that’s such a good thing Under the phone lines And facing the kudzu hill What could I have What could I have possibly thought And where would we be If my light had lit up This song expresses faith That if my light had lit up It would’ve shown me sooner That it’s ok to settle for something better than yourself And now we’ve settled And it’s like we’re real Not like those other sculptures Left just to exist But we will not exist We will fill the world We will eat the world We will kill the world with the way we love Fuck everything that isn’t real Fuck the gods that tell you it’s ok It’s not ok, we’re all fucking real And we’re gonna shit our love into your heart When I think I think that I have love And when I love It allows me to think And when I think with love It allows me to feel Though it’s uncomfortable My comfort can fuck its self (I am a stupid fucking asshole) I love my wife I love the person inside my body I love the person who would hurt my body I love the person who would hurt another body And I especially love the person inside the hurt body What I love of the hurter is that they have been hurt too I love the hurt I love the fucking shit we feel I love the terrible songs about shit If I don’t feel these things Then I become unreal And I just want to be real Within the shit This is a love song It started as a song for my wife And then it was about everyone else This is a love song This is a love song A baby is born Or maybe it’’s not born Maybe it grows up so fast That it becomes a tower

I’ve grown so old since yesterday Cuz I’ve been drinking to my fill And when I’m done with that I start sippin’ on the quil I dreamed eyes awake a terrible sore Had kissed me yesterday and furthermore And it’s not that I walk through the shadows But the valley’s real and by its nature shades I really am the waterfall that I try to see in the world I am the nerve that I spread across the lawn I am the cloud that rains the ground and drinks it back again When I awoke I had lodged my self into the same old yawn O people help me remember to give my love In these moments all so bright and brief And the dull waiting and emptying and refilling Well we can kiss it all goodbye We can kiss it all again We can kiss it where it hurts We can wait upon the wind You really are the wonderful that they talk about in songs But you’re also the reason that it ends I am also the reason that it ends We are also the reason that it ends We are all so the reason that it ends

Burning tables in the back yard Ash floating like your dumb bard Fresh kids in the dead leaves Petting dogs and the dogs' fleas Eye crust when I wake up Got meds so I take some I'll depend on my thinking to be better in the next life In the fur Inferno It tolls It rolls In love with the feeling That occurs out of nowhere Send it back to the precinct Let it never see light or air Baby dude in the back seat Doesn't know how the world goes I hope he never has to stop and peek Over the rim of the inferno Grove, for sure The inferno it tolls So you must roll ..you must know.. It's easy to be in the shape of like you or me it's dumbing to see exactly what you want them to see just be kind

Megaberth 03:52
my life began like any other life upside down and dropping like a knife my love began like any other love with the need to laugh with the need to laugh and then laughing shook my insides loose i was just a slosh sloshing around and if i go downtown or into the woods or completely disappear then what of my love it's almost like my body will break it's almost like my mind will break it's almost like my heart yeah my heart and so i know whatever it is i know my life will end like a waterfall continuing to end and continuing to end...
