Calculate this state of mind
Turn on the VCR
And then press rewind
Descending numbers represent time
Give a sense of purpose
But it's just a lie
Weathered shingles
Awkward mingle
Boring conversations with lonely singles
Drinks are empty
Like their eyes
Fade away
Fantasize
Took the bait
Couldn't wait
Fell in love on the very first date
Couldn't live
Wouldn't die
Focus with your one good eye
New rendition
New design
Out of touch out of time
Here I am
There you are
Passenger in my own car
Calculate
Calculate
Calculate this state of mind
Calculate
Calculate
Calculate remaining time
Waking up
Cold react
Wasted hours spent on your back
Your arm beneath
Her heavy skull
All the while increase your toll
So what is knowing
What is truth
Breakfast in the corner booth
Your gray hairs dangled
Over glasses
You could hush the huddled masses
Couldn't live
Wouldn't die
Focus with your one good eye
A new rendition
New design
Out of touch and out line
So calculate
The remaining time
Pour out the gin
Squeeze the lime
Glasses Empty
Like our eyes
Fade away
Fantasize
Calculate
Calculate
Calculate this state of mind
Calculate
Calculate
Calculate remaining time
Calculate
Calculate
Focus with your one good eye
Calculate

I can see it
You're just misunderstood
I can see it
Yeah there's nothing in you that was ever good
I can see it
I can see it
Don't wanna be it
A toy you use and put back down
Don't wanna be it
Take the hits don't make a sound
You don't need it
The illusion of a friend
You don't need it
There's nothing now that you can mend
Don't wanna be it
You don't need it
Whatcha know about life
How bout ya tell me how it could be
I can see it in your eyes
That you know nothing more than me
But that's the thing about pride
It's much easier to see
Than ever realize
You know nothing more than me
I can see it
Don't wanna be it
I can see it
Don't wanna be it
There's no reason
To treat people this way
There's no reason
No wonder no one ever stays
Call it treason
You do it to your self
Call it treason
It's time to put you on the shelf
There's no reason
Call it treason
Whatcha know about life
How bout ya tell me how it could be
I can see it in your eyes
That you know nothing more than me
But that's the thing about pride
It's much easier to see
Than ever realize
You know nothing more than me
Tell me something I believe
Show me something I can see
Tell me something I believe
Show me something I can see
Show me something
Show me something
Oof

In a deep dark tunnel
In a foreign land
I can't escape it

Change the digits they need to call
Explore their methods to track you

And when you're finally finished
You feel the joy that it brings
You sit down to a beer and a line
Until your phone starts to ring

Juice

So there I was another acid trip
A trip straight from hell
Hope I'd see the end of it
But I thought I'd at least get out there and try
And then I met a big great man
And the clan inside his van
And I learned a lot about their culture
Acidic juice at a rest stop
Hasidic Jews at a rest stop
Acidic juice at a rest stop
Hasidic Jews at a rest stop
Acidic juice at a rest stop
Hasidic Jews at a rest stop
Acidic juice at a rest stop
Hasidic Jews at a rest stop
So that's it that's how the story goes
I made a real good friend
We catch a lot of shows
And he invited me over with the fam for Hanukkah
But I woke up boy, yeah I came to
I never met no Hasidic Jew
I freaked out, got naked, and got tased by the cops
Acidic juice at a rest stop
Hasidic Jews at a rest stop
Acidic juice at a rest stop
Hasidic Jews at a rest stop
Acidic juice at a rest stop
Hasidic Jews at a rest stop
Acidic juice at a rest stop
Hasidic Jews at a rest stop

Missing Adult

Wow
A silence in reflection
A coldness to the eyes
A style of violent perfection
A viper in disguise
And rot, with the fish out in the bay
And talk, use the words that I won't say
I'm just trying my best to get away
Just stop
Just stop
If you say you are my friend
I don't wanna be a missing adult
You should know this is the end
I don't wanna be a missing adult
And if you save your breath
I don't wanna be a missing adult
In this place until your death
I don't wanna be a missing adult
Leave me alone
Wow
A silence in reflection
The voice inside of your head
An unconscious intention
Blood you've already bled
And rot, with the fish out in the bay
Jigsaw, it just won't fit that way
I can't find the words I want to say
Just stop
Just stop
If you say you are my friend
I don't wanna be a missing adult
You should know this is the end
I don't wanna be a missing adult
And if you save your breath
I don't wanna be a missing adult
In this place until your death
I don't wanna be a missing adult
Leave me alone
I've given you a chance to walk away
I got my reasons not to stay
Not here to say that it's your fault
I'm not alright
I'm a missing adult
I've given you a chance to walk away
I got my reasons not to stay
Not here to say that it's your fault
I'm not alright
I'm a missing adult

Everybody's got their mess to clean
Everybody's got a place to be
Seeing people that they haven't seen
Being places they have never been
Krudkutter
Cleans your mess
Dust and grime it'll make it sheen
Just makes it better i'm not being mean
Cuttin' krud just feels so right
Cut the krud right outta your life
Krudkutter
It's the best
Clean up quick when you've gotta host
Clean that mess you've been dreading most
Dirt and mold don't stand a chance
Krudkutter and I share a sweet romance
Krudkutter
Put it to the test
Whether on the roof or on the wall
A piece of dookie in the bathroom stall
Matt's vomit on the futon couch
Staying clean in the Fine Grain house

I am not your puppet but here I swing
The noose around my neck is tightening
I'm not the subject of your abuse
Just let me go, please cut me loose
Just let me go, please cut me loose
Just let me go, please cut me loose
And it's not my occupation to keep you amused
One day you are gonna have to choose
Keep my on the line or let me off the hook
Just make sure you do it by the book
I'm a loser
I'm a freak
I think it's best if you euthanize me
Just make sure you do it by the book
I lost my mind I don't know where to look
Just make sure you do it by the book
And I don't even blame you it's not your fault
I must have missed the writing on the wall
I can stop by later and grab my things
Until then I'll just be dangling
I'm a loser
I'm a freak
It may be best just to euthanize me
I might be acting irrationally
I am not your puppet but here I swing
The noose around my neck is tightening
I'm not the subject of your abuse
Just let me go, please cut me loose
Just let me go, please cut me loose

Pushin' Away
01:46

I keep moving
I can never stand still
Shoes are proving
A better cure than a pill
I've been losing
And losing
And losing my brain
Leaves me nothin'
Nothin' drives me insane
You keep pushin'
And pushin'
And pushin' away
Body moves but my head stays exactly the same
You keep pushin'
And pushin'
And pushin' away
Body moves but my head stays exactly the same
Can't stop walking
My feet are outta control
It's a disorder
And it's taking its toll
I keep moving
And moving
And moving myself
And ignoring
Signs of diminishing health
You keep pushin'
And pushin'
And pushin' away
Body moves but my head stays exactly the same
You keep pushin'
And pushin'
And pushin' away
Body moves but my head stays exactly the same

Lost in a moment of self doubt
A wave of emotion returns me to reality
A toxic thought passes through my brain
I sail my own ship can't sink again
Can you tell me what's happening to me
I can't feel my face it's getting hard to see
My self-medication has failed me again
I find it hard to justify the person I've been
Toss and turn until the dawn
Can't hold any food down long
I move along to pass the time
Out of sight
Out of mind
Carve out a moment in time to reflect
Explore your own mind out of context
Remember what it was like to think on your own
A trait some other people never know
In the end, there's only how you feel about yourself
Have you created a heaven or a personal hell?
In the absence of darkness light prevails
The absence of success yields endless fails
Can you tell me what's happening to me
I can't feel my face it's getting hard to see
My self-medication has failed me again
I find it hard to justify the person I've been
Toss and turn until the dawn
Can't hold any food down long
I move along to pass the time
Out of sight
Out of mind

The winners circle's always littered with the bodies of those that lost
You can't determine what you've won until you've found out what it cost
Profits down and costs go up
Your money's gone without a trace
Fear and anguish chase the look of joy further from your face
Have you seen my cigarettes?
I can't seem to find them
Always filled with deep regret
I close my eyes to hide it
And still I can't forget
The loophole in blindness
Is that you're still alive
To take their fucking shit
You've gotta run kid
Taking all you've got was a part of their plan
You're just a pawn
You're just a hack
You're just a low class kind of man
There's no rest for the wicked ones
The choice would never be yours to choose
That's how it goes for the people like us
Even when you win, you still lose
Have you seen my cigarettes?
I can't seem to find them
Always filled with deep regret
I close my eyes to hide it
And still I can't forget
The loophole in blindness
Is that you're still alive
To take their fucking shit
They'll take the words right out of your mouth
The dark comes in the light goes out
And in the darkest days you'll see
The light never meant much to me
They'll take the words right out of your mouth
The dark comes in the light goes out
And in the darkest days you'll see
The light never meant much to me
They'll take the words right out of your mouth
The dark comes in the light goes out
And in the darkest days you'll see
The light never meant much to me
Have you seen my cigarettes?
I can't seem to find them
Always filled with deep regret
I close my eyes to hide it
And still I can't forget
The loophole in blindness
Is that you're still alive
To take their fucking shit

I hear you run a tight ship
Well throw me right in the brig
Did I do something to upset you
Was it something I said?
I'm going out on top
In the middle of my prime yeah
Don't stop singing that
I'm gonna go out on top
You'll know it's time when the music stops playing
I'm going out
I used to wish good luck, the best to you and yours
But I could give a fuck about that any more
And then again just like everything in life
God damn if you do
God damn if you don't
I'm going out on top
Like a comet burning bright yeah
Don't stop singing that
I'm gonna go out on top
You'll know it's time when the music stops playing
I'm going out

Join me in deep conversation
Toy with me the idea of despair
A classic lack of observation
Is all that's happening there
In a city of like-minded people
But nobody seems to agree
Climb to the top of the highest steeple
Ignorance as far as the eye can see
No use for a place to call my own
No use for a place to call my own
Bear through the trials and tribulations
There is no reason to be scared
This is no standard complication
No one ever said it would be fair
Release your thoughts and inhibitions
They're of no use to you now
We all suffer under these conditions
We all share
The same doubts
The same doubts
No use for a place to call my own
No use for a place to call my own
No use for a place to call my own
No use for a place to call my own
