Ferrari

in a fiberglass Ferrari fueled by the pure hatred of joy,
I've been out blurring the line between freelance and unemployed
somewhere across the plane of immanence shouting into the void
only a fool can make a difference and they don’t really get a choice
I’m not aiming for the bushes when I jump out this window
I refuse to act on fear
no thank you,
I’ve been down that road
there are a thousand million ways to drive that nail into it's hole,
to keep running in place cause it’s a bit more comfortable
than peeling up the veil from that illusion of control
and learning when to leave yourself alone

Circling the Drain
03:46

I am below the bullshit
let the pendulum swing
drive the boat like you stole it
let's grease up this hate machine
I've got a flare for theatrics
it feels like punching a bruise
I've been getting my ass kicked
but I'm playing to lose
the sock drawer that we're snooping in
the bane of all our inhibitions
the dead horse
it's a blood sport
yeah, you can dig for pity in the hearts of your peers
or cover up your eyes and make the world disappear
you can start a fire
but everybody's singing the same stale song
"You gotta go along to get along"
this was as far as my plan went
smacked up against a wall
it feels like I'm being punished for something
by “good folks”
in scare quotes
in the sequel to politics
"Unanswered Prayers and Crying Fits"
in free fall
into the chipper with it all
I could really give a fuck about anything
I'm just blowing raspberries and circling the drain
fucking with what's right front of me
no one can give you peace
no one can take it away
yeah, we can build a new religion
write a new alphabet
I'm here justifying the future
not redeeming the dead
my father says, "You've gotta go along to get along"
and I do

Bored of Being Sad
03:20

call the bastard up and buy him lunch.
let's talk about the future
how I've grown to feel so little love
how you act like you don’t understand
a short word with the lonesome balladeer
a long weekend all bent out of shape
a new self help book for each year
annotating the path to my grave
I don't want to talk about the future
No
I don't care if I'm wasting my time
I've got time to waste
and no will to participate
I've been wasting my whole life
and I’m so bored of being sad
it's not cool anymore
it's old
and I'm bored
shit’s really not so bad
I created this hell
I have no one to blame but myself
if you romanticize misery, brother, you're gonna be miserable
I was dead
I was looking for companies to sling shirts at the funeral
all the makings of a pacifist, another hypocrite, hippie weed head
throwing out the dogma and cashing in
"we did the math on it,
it wasn't happening"
the villain arc of a wanton rogue
one of heaven's tortured souls
with a cold heart,
a white dwarf headed for a black hole
sharpening my teeth on the bones of my old enemies
I'm over saying sorry and I'm
bored of being sad
it's not cool anymore
it's old
and I'm bored.
shit’s really not so bad.
I created this hell.
I have no one to blame but myself

Straw Hat

straw sun hat,
in a pair of Sean John boxer briefs,
sipping the sweet taste of relief,
not tortured like we used to be
I love you
because of the things you do for me
this is a meritocracy
no one is responsible for anyone's feelings
I know that you're trying to parry your doubts
that you want to trust me
I know that you're spying on me now
through the dog camera
but everything that I do
I would do in front of you
and I don't really mind what you do
no one owns you
tax my gig
I pity every asshole now
if you treat people like that, I know that's how you treat yourself
it feels good to kill
we did all of this advеrtently
yeah, we got all thе luck we need
no shame
no fear
no guilt
no, everything that I do
I would do in front of you
and I don't really mind what you do
no one owns you

3-star hotels
enough is enough
kicking someone that you're close with in an impulsive act of love
toes in the deep end
by the pool
speaking in tongues
we pause the screen
god’s face
burned in the tv
what if everything’s as perfect as we suspected it would be?
what if we dropped the catastrophic fatalist philosophy
and looked at what's around us
as lucid as our dreams?
bidding farewell
to the the last thing that you know
When you lose everything, the whole world becomes your home
the heathen doomed welcome you to the fold
trickling down gods porcelain throne
getting the one-way ticket
itching to get on with it
in a pair of green shades
running every red light
feeding the flame oxygen
feeling the room start spinning
cutting all ties
saying goodbye

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world. But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up.

viscerally affected by covid, this album has a less optimistic but more accepting message than the previous. it reaches the heart of my experience (and others'?) in a cathartic and depressing acknowledgement. it's nice to know you feel the same
