Chin up, everything that’s happening now is gonna be all right
Next time you call, give me a little warning, I don’t wanna be surprised
I told you, everybody you know back home is fine
I’m ready to admit I have no plan to die
I wanna know why, oh I wanna know why
Shirtless in the morning,
Shirtless in the evening,
Shirtless every day, every night, when I’m thinking about you, my body is covered in a hot, cold sweat!
I don’t like it when you take me by the hand
I’m an adult, I can make it even with no friend
If you’re here, and I’m over there, we can make it
We’ll make it, you know, we can do it, because no matter where we are, we’re always touching by underground wires
I’ve wondering what you’re doing when I’m over here looking at the stars
We have a 13 hour time difference, so I guess you’re just now waking up
Having your morning coffee and toast, I just wanna know what you’re putting on it
Are you into jam or butter?
Or maybe you’re one of those avocado toast people ~ wink

Clearer and Clearer

Clearer and clearer, it’s gonna get away from us one day
Nearer and nearer, we’re getting closer to the truth every day
Dirty stuff, should be clear
Foggy stuff, should be clear
Ambiguous stuff, should be clear
Time can’t change dirty and foggy to clear
Only me I can do it, I can make it clear
The world is changing every day, it’s getting harder for me to say
It’s clearer and clearer that I’m not gonna make it out okay
My dear, oh my dear, oh I’ll keep my darkest impulses at bay
I’m not gonna lie or fudge the truth, every single day people lying thru their tooth
That’s not me, my memory is clear, no more foggy, or dirty, have no fear
They say I bring the sun wherever I go
I’m not sure how they could possibly know
Never bring a ‘brella, cause I’m a shiny fella
But I’d like to be as beautiful as the people I see all around
Clearer and clearer! It’s gonna get away from us one day
Nearer and nearer! We’re getting closer to the truth every day
I’d like to know what other people think of me
I hope it’s good, because I’ve got a serious objection to the depiction of myself in my mind, so I’m taking my time in becoming who I really am
Clearer and clearer!

Slime Child

I’m the slime child, bile pouring out my open mouth
I’m the slime child, fluid slipping out my every pore
I’m the slime child
They say you are what you eat, and to that I admit defeat
My diet consists of pasta and bread,
I’m beginning to think I’m underfed
Slime Child lives in secret, he finds treasure, and he keeps it
He thinks maggots are his friends, but they fly away instead
If u give him hugs, he will share with you bed bugs
Lock him in the vomit coffin, in the morning he’ll be coughing
There’s no medicine down below, so he gobbles up stray toes
Mucus oozing out his ears, you can see it also in his tears
Clawing the dirt, oh how his fingers must hurt
Breathing in the musty odor, you feel yourself getting older

Phantom Hand

I’m connected with the moon, once every month something’s out of tune
Got a lotta things on my mind, it’s nearly about time to
Don’t worry, it’s not too late, not even if u got a lot on ur plate
Take ur time if u have no rhyme, you can think of it sometime
The man in the moon is looking at me, wherever I go, he wants to make me happy
It’s kinda creepy when he touches my head, it’s the phantom hand, just wanna be alone in bed
it’s the phantom hand x8
It’s wandering the streets and it’s roaming the land
it must be pretty lonely on the moon, I thought that was only in cartoons
the phantom comes once a year, that’s why people don’t think it’s real
believe me tho it’s pretty strange to get a visit from those five phalange

Octopi
Stretching my arms long and wide, I’ve got to bridge the divide
It’s no longer time to hide
There’s too much I can’t abide
This is what I will confide
I’m the great big octopi
I’m a really great, great guy
I’m living under the sea for now, but soon enough I’ll be in town
You might think I’m pretty lazy, but you should know life ain’t that hazy
Eight long tentacles ain’t nothing, you can really do something
Kill and maim the fascist pigs
They destroy all we did
I’m the great big octopi
I’ve gotta bridge the divide
If you’re against me, you will die
This ain’t a debate, I’m much obliged

Little Horse

My life is falling apart, but I think recycling is really important
I’ll make something new with the broken pieces if u gimme a clue
I’d like to think it’s not so bad to tape it up or put a little glue
Maybe it’ll stay together if I don’t shake it or use it too
My life is falling apart, but maybe that’s the way it’s supposed to be
I’ve got my cats sleeping by my side, isn’t that enough to keep me company
What r u gonna do with a little horse, if it comes knocking at yr door?
Asking “hey, do u have some hay? I’m pretty hungry, please say okay!”
I’ve got a little horse and it’s taking the piss, and I mean that in the british sense
I’m giving it everything I have to give, I’m so kind, I’m probably divine
I’ve got a little horse, and it’s gonna be okay, we’re gonna play around every night and day
I’m feeling little hoarse, gotta rest my voice, why is this horse giving me so many chores
My life is falling apart, thought getting a baby would help it restart
When it grows up, it won’t be as tough, I can ride it around and turn my life back around

No Woman

I wanna tell you I like you, and I thought you might like me
I thought you might like me, we could do a lot of things together
Go to the beach and get a suntan
Wear too much sunscreen but still get sunburnt
Take a pic but it’s oversaturated
Too bad now but we’ll laugh about it later
People call me Fiz
I say, “gee whiz, is that my nomenclature?”
Ethan Teacher is my nom de plume
If you meet me in the teacher’s room
Take it from me, I’m not gonna bite-cha
Prefer to eat vegan, get some veggies
I’m not mis-speaking
It’s good vegan-eating
I can repeat it
You see me teaching
You’re overheating
Because we’re both robots in this scenario
You’re really the best, I don’t wanna put to the test, you’re not my student, you are my friend, you get passing marks without even trying
We’re gonna make it all the way / Never
Never gonna let you go, you know I want to be the best one, even when it’s hard, I think it’s worth trying
I’m not the best, but I’ll do my best
I’ll make you happy even if it hurts me, it hurts me a lot
But the best love is the one that requires a very large sacrifice
I’m not talking about something that’ll destroy one’s life
But every interaction has a little bit of give and take
It’s okay to make a mistake, or else we’d never learn
