I’m feeling kind of burned out ever since the marathon I thought I would just come back strong But I used up all my thoughts These days my life is boring so I don’t have much to write Well how’d I get this writing done No wonder it’s all trite It’s not enough to sound good or to show up and be nice It’s not enough to pander or to use these basic rhymes These days my life is boring so I don’t have much to write Well how’d I get this writing done No wonder it’s all trite And now that I have done the thing I wonder is it good I wonder if it’s worth a thing And how long until it’s old So I’m cutting cutting cutting It all goes on the floor It all goes on the video It all will turn to more These days my life is boring so I don’t have much to write How’d I get this writing done No wonder it’s all trite I used up my ideas and I tried to clean my drafts But high becomes the pile left I’d rather turn to theft So ideas from the past come back I stole them from myself Ideas from the past, you hack Left undone on the shelf So writing isn’t doing You can still evade your cause This isn’t you confronting God You’re just writing down your thoughts

Hey let’s get messed up I’m feeling super-rough We’ll get real hungover And then we’ll both throw up They sell forties all night That’s why I bought you five So thanks for coming over And for still being alive Hey let’s get messed up My house is clean enough My life’s already over And I don’t want to grow up Hey let’s get messed up I don’t have any drugs So bring whatever over And we’ll put it on our blood We’ll punch holes in our walls We’ll chat like know-it-alls We’ll burn like coals and smolder But at least we’ll feel alive Hey let’s get messed up I don’t miss feeling loved We’ll get real hungover And then we’ll both throw up Hey let’s get messed up And forget what we’ve done We will rest upon our shoulders And then we’ll both throw up Hey let’s get messed up And forget what we’ve done We’ll rest upon our shoulders And then we’ll both throw up Hey let’s get messed up Cuz we’re not good enough Thanks for coming over And for bringing cough syrup And they sell forties all night That’s why I bought you five Thanks for coming over And for still being alive

I’ve weathered storms like this before With false-hope rain and I’m insecure I’ve tried to run I’ve tried to fight And now I feel I’m dead inside And you can have a seat inside my empire I’ve killed your friends But you’re the one I’ll have you in my castle and we’ll have lots of fun With knives for teeth and gas for suns I plant my flag and I raise my gun And you can have a seat inside my empire I’ve killed your friends But you’re the one I’ll have you in my castle and we’ll have lots of fun Ho-ho my chosen one I pray for rain and I pray for sun The fields I’ve sewn have all gone numb You’ll have to fight live on the run I’m alive tho And you can have a seat inside my empire I’ve killed your friends But you’re the one I’ll have you in my castle and we’ll have lots of fun Ho-ho my chosen one You can borrow guns Help me kill my sons We’ll have so much fun, my chosen one I live for this I want nothing more My family should have so much joy The people born far down the line Should have these things And you can have a seat inside my empire I’ve killed your friends But you’re the one I’ll have you in my castle and we’ll have lots of fun Ho-ho my chosen one And you’re the one My chosen one And you’re the one My chosen one And you’re the one My chosen one And you’re the one My chosen one So the important thing to remember, no matter how great your kingdom is upon this Earth It’s never gonna be perfect And you’re gonna be searching for your place on the teleprompter As your brain melts And uh that brings us to our next song Kingdom on the Earth

I will have the skies I’ll have the heavens You will have a kingdom on the Earth Nothing but a kingdom on the Earth No no no no Nothing but a kingdom on the Earth And on the Earth your kingdom’s made of toil And yet for all your life you live on dirt And it’s not so much the nutrients in soil If you want to grow the blood you must return I’m floating I’m floating in the sky it’s just so comfy It’s lovelier than you would ever know I see the birds outside You hang a picture in the sky And yet the sun sets down upon the Earth And I will have the skies I’ll have the heavens And you can have your kingdom on the Earth Nothing but a kingdom on the Earth No no no no It’s nothing but a kingdom on the Earth I’m sinking through the blue It’s just so heavy So heavy that no god could lift me up I see the fish that learned to fly I hang my shelf up way so high And yet the sun will rise up round the Earth And I will take the skies I’ll take the heavens And you will have your kingdom on the Earth Nothing but a kingdom on the Earth No no no no Nothing but a kingdom on the Earth And on the Earth the people build the rivers And the workers there make water flow For now you’ll be indebted to a long-lost wiki-edit If you want to rise above you must become I’m floating to the sun It’s just so roomy It’s cozier than you could ever know I see the jets outside You hang a picture in the sky And yet the sun sets down upon the Earth And I will have the skies I’ll have the heavens And you’ll just have your kingdom on the Earth Nothing but a kingdom on the Earth No no no no Nothing but a kingdom on the Earth Ah ah ah ah ah Ahhhh Nothing but a kingdom on the Earth No no no no Nothing but a kingdom on the Earth Let us return to a more plebeian, down-to-Earth perspective Not a god but just someone who maybe meets one

Planets 04:21
You came down from the mountains You have oceans let me count them You are livid with the peppermints You’re corpulent I know I ran into a person Or perhaps they were an ocean Anyway I got to know them I’m gregarious you know If you made the planets Then don’t say Don’t say it And if you’re late Keep waiting I can’t keep waiting Built the world to always need you So yeah the world needs you And it would crash if you shrugged your shoulders So yeah the world needs you And that was when the clouds came back And they absorbed all my lakes I dumped all my good surplus on the Earth And when my children returned from the afterlife I turned them I placed them on the mountains Lo, my finest piles of dirt If you made the planets Then why is it like this Why is it like this Why is it like this You know why Built the world to always need you So yeah the world needs you And it would crash if you shrugged your shoulders So yeah the world needs you Yeah the world Woo hoo Ah yeah yeah ya ah ah ah ah ah ah ooh Yah ah ah ah ah ah ah ooh yeah The world needs you Thank you

The meekest ones have tread too long and sunken underfoot We built them up We made them tall It’s for the common good Oh look we’re really growing Oh look we’re really good We’re savoring the flavors We must be so understood My face was in the corner Memorizing grains of wood I’m stronger when you yell at me We’re so misunderstood I used to believe nothing But now I’m not so sure If I didn’t make up something I’d have needed something more So we know we’re really good Yeah we know we’re really good We’re savoring the flavors We must be so understood It takes two minds to do this Yeah it takes too minds at once The system and the soul all try to be the same at once I do it for myself but I will say I need your help The “we” is no priority We’ve all got our own hells, yeah You see we’re really growing Yeah you know we’re really good We’re savoring the flavors We must be so understood Look we’re really growing Oh look we’re really good We’re savoring the flavors And we’ll be so understood Hey your glory’s in the place where once there was the sea You make it so the craters shine with things that honor thee Your idea’s on the pile that we’ll get into some day It only takes a while but we sometimes let things change So we know we’re really good You know we’re really good We’re savoring the flavors We must be so understood The inner sanctum always glows with godly polished spots It takes two kings to have this See they’ve got to argue lots We built so many systems but they fall apart in time We can still live in their castles We can cover up their crimes So no we’re really growing Yeah yeah no we’re really good I promise you the taste is real We’ll be so understood Ohhhhh

Oh oh On the hills of Seashore Valley All the turtles smile big The rivers shine like golden eggs But laid by normal hens The eagle flies down to your bed Laying fish beside your head Demanding explanations or you’ll wish you were dead And in the palms of people yearning Smiles big like you’d expect Saying that they love themselves But they’re not even friends My spirit’s fake my soul’s not real I don’t need them to feel So with the eagle’s talons I tear myself to shreds One million new birds Painting rainbows in between Throwing rocks at stars And singing like they’re Queen It’s times like this I fear I’m not But other times I am I’m screaming deep from in my heart I don’t wish I was dead It’s times like this I fear I’m not But honestly I am I’ll disregard what’s in my head I don’t wish I was dead Hidden deep inside yourself are treasures to your friends The people all beside your side Who love that you’re not dead The eagles say don’t spend so long just thinking about yourself So get out there and strut your stuff And mind your mental health Eight million new birds Painting rainbows in between Throwing rocks at stars And singing like they’re Queen It’s times like this I fear I’m not But honestly I am I’m screaming deep from in my heart I don’t wish I was dead It’s times like this I fear I’m not But other times I am I’ll disregard what’s in my head I don’t wish I was dead Eight billion new birds Painting rainbows in between Throwing rocks at stars And singing and singing Probably won’t find it this time Eight billion new birds Painting rainbows in between Throwing rocks t stars And singing and singing My head says I don’t value love But my heartache says I do And I wish that I believed in things bigger than me and you Eight billion new birds Painting rainbows in between Throwing rocks at stars And singing and singing It’s times like this I fear I’m not But honestly I am I’m screaming deep from in my soul I don’t wish I was dead It’s times like this I fear I’m not But honestly I am I’ll disregard what’s in my head I don’t wish I was dead Eight billion new birds Painting rainbows in between

You can rise above it Yeah you know it’s true There’s something true inside you And you know it’s cool You’re everything they wanted If they only looked and noticed Yeah you’ve got it all and flaunt it You’re so cool they just get jealous, yeah You can see them standing On the rolling green The brightest pair of headlights That you ever seen And if you’re standing still You’ll take all the force that’s coming It’s a bitter pill to swallow but that’s just how they want it Yeah you’re everything they wanted If they only looked and noticed Yeah they got it all and flaunt it They’re so cool they just get jealous You can see them fearing what you’ve always been The brightest pair of stars just like a movie set And if you face it head-on you will send collisions running It’s a bitter pill to sit on but well you don’t have to take it, yeah You can rise above it Do you know it’s true There’s something good inside you Well is that still cool They can see your beauty on a little screen The brightest little panel in the fingers of a stranger And they notice that they’ve done it And they’re acting kinda stunted It’s a bitter pill to swallow but it’s you who makes them do it, yeah You can rise above it Do you know it’s true There’s something good inside you Well is that still cool cool You’re everything they wanted if they only looked and noticed Yeah they’re coming now to get it cuz glamor is a weapon

When our land is illumined with liberty's smile And a foe from within strike a blow at her core These fools alone so far have shown They feel no thing No pain's too real They pay to be where someone is They eat their flesh I guess Until you find the evidence We can only guess And so suppressed and so hardcore Can we prepare to win this war These words for dorks they mean no more So meet me in discordant plains Where nothing happens anymore Meet me out in no-man's-land We'll die out there for sure And so much more it's all so sad Can we prepare to feel that rad? These word for dorks they mean no more But we're prepared to win this war So rise up from the melting pot The nothing here is all we've got We'll kill the Hessians in their sleep As soon as the rivers freeze These words for dorks they mean no more But we're prepared to win this war So meet me out in no-man's-land Where nothing happens And meet me out in no-man'-land We'll die And meet in the fallow lands where nothing happens anymore And nothing happens anymore And nothing happens anymore And nothing happens anymore And the rocket's red glare The bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave Over the land of the free

Freedom 03:00
Thank you Well the whole time I was under your eye The door stayed shut but I know you’re behind it The whole time there was a hell and you know it A dungeon and steeple because I’m a demon You can break out with me It only takes forever And someday in dungeons, deceased It only takes forever I’ll teach you what you need to know And then we will see how far you’ll go And I know you’ll be bigger than anyone But freedom belongs to me And sunsets on islands for everyone But freedom from me to me I’m all out of time I had to decide I guess I have to live if I don’t wanna die If you suffer enough you can earn it Cuz all of the pain pays off You suffer enough you can earn it Maybe don’t cut your family off And I know you’ll be bigger than anyone When freedom belongs to me Sunsets on islands for everyone But freedom from me to me Freedom from me to me Freedom from me to me Freedom from me to me Freedom from me to me And I’ll teach you what you need to know And I guess we’ll see how far you’ll go And I know you’ll be bigger than anyone When freedom belongs to me Sunsets on islands for everyone But freedom from me to me Freedom from me to me And I know you’ll be bigger than anyone When freedom belongs to me Sunsets on islands for everyone But freedom from me to me Freedom from me to me Freedom from me to me

Uranium City 04:18
They tell a place called Uranium City The travelers say it’s a perfect city Where every day is a festival And no one there has to suffer One suffers for all And everyone else is equal And it’s said this is just for all Nothing good comes without sacrifice Nothing good comes without They’ve all agreed just one It only takes just one They’ve all agreed just one It only takes just one Orphan to suffer You might accept this place Most just accept this place You could accept this place The orphan sacrificed of course has no choice in the matter And some would walk away They can barely walk away But only some walk away The orphan in the dungeon of course has no choice in the matter I can’t accept this place I don’t accept this place I traveled here long and far To make an ugly city I’ve come to free the orphan of Uranium City Here we come Here we go Uranium City Here we come Here we go Uranium City Here we come Here we go I can’t accept this place I don’t accept this place I’ve traveled here long and far To make an ugly city To make an ugly city They send their wisest guards They send their bravest out They send their wisest guards Those cowards love to shout Oh do you really care And could you really care And do you really care And could you really care If things could be this nice I’d pay a thousand price But if it takes just one And if it’s really one Then would you really try They say it’s wise to accept Uranium City Well tell me folks do you accept Uranium City Nothing good comes without sacrifice Nothing good comes without sacrifice But if it takes someone And it must take someone Then I guess those city guards paid And if I took the orphan out And they just died in my arms Then tell the people there we paid the price Uranium City Oh were we come Here we go Uranium City Uranium City Uranium City So what about after you free the orphan and that’s gone uh big disaster for you You uh gotta be grateful for something There’s a whole rest of the night You can’t spend it hating on yourself There’s a beautiful part

The silhouettes of everyone that ever wandered by A sunken little sunset and a splash of outdoor lights And the rest of the night was everything That we had ever dreamed The crest of our lives was twice as long As we had dared to dream A surf of moods and vibes to come The warmness deigns to wave A darkened sky in times to come The walls that break the wave Oh will you know and finally see Oh what's it mean to you A silhouette of everyone Except for maybe you The rest of the night was everything That we had ever dreamed The morning sun saw twice the fun Than we had thought we’d seen So don’t mind me Your vibe checks out Your vibe checks out for days You’re welcome now to stay right here Checked out for days and days Oh will you know and finally see Oh what’s it mean to you A story’s dumb if people like it But it’s good enough for you Oh the rest of our nights were everything That we had ever dreamed We lived that good for twice as long As we had dared to dream And the rest of the night was everything That we had ever dreamed Oh the crest of our night was twice the time Than it had even seemed And the rest of our night wave everything The rest of our life indeed And the rest of the night was everything The crest of the night indeed If god were here Would you let him use your toothbrush Or would you be worried about the germs That’s my only question thank you

Dixie Cups 02:22
Illuminated chalice Oh important paper cup If I rinse my mouth with this, will I have class enough Oh you said that’s how I do it And you’re Roman in Rome But I hate those tiny Dixie cups They make me wish that I was home In someone else’s bathroom Using someone else’s things I’ll follow all the rules you set I can scrub the lime-rust rings I’ll be somewhere else with someone else Wasting someone else’s time I’ll be someone else to someone else I can use my hands next time Yeah your bathroom was truly special The greatest tiles I ever saw Ever saw But you bummed me out when you hand me lists Of commandments and laws And laws I’ll be somewhere else with someone else Wasting someone else’s time I’ll be somewhere else to someone else A new toothbrush costs a dime Oh you want me to keep my shoes on in every room I stand You know that brings the dirt inside but it’s your land And I’ve been to many households And I’ll go to many more And I will stand for what I am But I got dirt on your floor I’ll be somewhere else with someone else Wasting someone else’s time I’ll be someone else to someone else A new toothbrush costs a dime And ch’yeah
