Gravitron 04:19
lyrics

I portrayed an actor Lines felt cold and stilted Delivered subpar So afraid of action I lost parts per million And blew out my heart I portrayed an actor Lip packed with acrylic And head in my hands Monetizing nausea Crawled back to the trailer To throw up gang signs I bet on a handsome man I've been on a tear again I'm on the Gravitron Feeling sick too much going on I bet on a handsome man I've been on a tear again I'm on your favorite ride throwing up Too much fluoride I bet on a handsome man I've been on a tear again I'm on the Gravitron Feeling sick too much going on They beat down the kid But I'm not a bitter man I don't wanna live like that I don't wanna live like that I don't wanna be that But I'm not a bitter man I don't wanna live like that I'm so sick of getting sick I'm so sick of pulling the trigger I bet on a handsome man I've been on a tear again I'm on the Gravitron Feeling sick too much going on I bet on a handsome man I've been on a tear again I'm on your favorite ride throwing up Too much fluoride I'll portray an actor

I wanna hook into a walleye And I wanna help you anyway I can So let me do the talk And you can walk I never had to live a hard life But I still know how to make a mess Did I tell you that I walked into wall? Always taking the fall Can't ever seem to recall Yeah I want to But the benefactor headlock has got me feeling so small Yeah I want to get inside your head But Tokyo, Japan has got you in its hands And I am just a man So I'll just fall until I'm not cool Yeah I want to be strong But I know that I'm wrong Yeah I want to But the benefactor headlock has got me feeling so small Yeah I want to get inside your head But Tokyo, Japan has got you in its hands And I am but a man So I'll just fall until I'm not cool Oh you know the benefactor headlock Has got me feeling so lost

Tell me something I don't know Like how you're breathing Tell me something about you Like why you're creeping all the time I've been fed for a long, long time For a long, long time And now I'm deep in Let's go home for a weekend And beat the heat kid Tell me how I fit that mold And beat out all other kinds Strip me bare and kick me down And I'll still come home on time Every time I've been fed for a long, long time For a long, long time And I would like to dedicate my time For a long, long time And if you strike me down now I will be just fine I will be alright Like hell I'm bare I'm down for it Like hell I'm bare You call, I'm there Tell me something about you Like how you're breathing I've been fed for a long, long time For a long, long time And I would like to dedicate my time For a long, long time And if you're a federal agent I will do the time I will do that time

Cleaning House 04:55

I'm cleaning house I'm bleeding out Rare He's dragging it out Hung up on a falling out And blue in the face A night on the town Waving a gun around Rare Well I'm done running around I'm downed and caught up in your mouse trap I need that home to call my own for an hour I'm just another BA holding up and holding out Until things calm down I'm cleaning house I've got a rag to douse Rare Well I've got hammers and nails, fool And I've got plenty of rations too Slender hand and a vision I'll leave every decision to you Well I'm done crawling around I'm downed and caught up in your mouse trap I need that home to call my own for an hour Another BA holding up and holding out Don't forget, you might be the key I will be your mess Well I'm done crawling around I'm downed and caught up in your mouse trap I need that home to call my own for an hour I'm just another BA holding up and holding out Be that as it may, you're still around So stay around

Fifteen thousand crushed little dreams New York has been so mean to Steve He don't think he's lucky anymore Fifteen pounds gone, another week While a New York has-been takes time to grieve I don't think I'm hungry anymore Hands down Fraternizing with the wrong crowd Advertising with your tongue out Troma subway, can't even breathe I'm a New York has-been, so time to leave Hands down Fraternizing with the wrong crowd Advertising with your tongue out Fraternizing with the wrong crowd Advertising with your tongue out Fifteen thousand hot little dreams New York has been so mean to Steve He don't think he's lucky Hands down Fraternizing with the wrong crowd Glaring at me with your hand out But that's New York, baby

Breaking Hearts With Your Punk Squad 03:32
lyrics

This time kid bought it hard Took one shot and turned studious But he can't help starting shit And that's a dangerous trope Dug down and DIH But they just wouldn't let it go Left hand keeps going numb And it raps on an empty skull Who said something unkind about who? And who made you the king? You should focus on cleaning your plate And leave those dreams of being sheriff behind Don't keep us waiting On your resignation This time kid bought it hard Took one shot and turned studious But he can't help starting shit And that's a dangerous trope Dug down and DIH But they just wouldn't let it go Left hand keeps going numb Pairs well with an empty skull You may dream of being famous online But that is psycho shit, baby boy You may fixy-ate on leaving your mark As if that changes how you hug your ma Don't leave me hanging The heir apparent This time kid bought it hard Took one shot and turned studious But he can't help talking shit And that's a scary-ass trope Big man posted up Calling shots on his dirty-ass phone Head back, take a bump Then market your character flaws Look at you, fucking breaking hearts with your punk squad Fix your shit and get a job With your smart mouth This time kid bought it hard Took one shot and turned studious But he can't help starting shit And that's a dangerous trope Big man posted up Calling shots on his dirty-ass phone Head back, take a bump And market your character flaws

Oh Marie, I fought it But I gave in and bought it I made a little bit of profit For a while Oh Marie, I caught it But I still believe in the prophets I wear a little bit of garlic around those those types But I've been waiting on his reply I scratched a number with my nail You told me "give it a try" and I am Miles away from bliss I'm provoking him I'm phoning it in One eleven, my time to pray What a lesson we've learned today Water flowing all down his face Tell me what did you learn today Oh Marie, I fought it But I caved in and caught it I got a number in my pocket That I'm gonna dial But I've been waiting on your reply Can you even really blame him When his hand's in the jar One day artfully induced To torture me And done deliberately One eleven, my time to pray What a lesson we've learned today Always stumbling towards the grave Tell me what did you learn today I am caving in I am wandering Stifling a grin One eleven, my time to pray What a lesson we've learned today Water flowing all down his face Tell me what did you learn today One eleven, my time to pray Always stumbling towards the grave One-eleven-one
