Quiet domestic life
Babies sleeping through the night
Tell me we’ll be alright
Quiet domestic life
It doesn’t hurt to breathe
It doesn’t hurt to be alive
It hurts my knees to scrub the floor
But we all do hurt sometimes
tell me we'll be just fine
Ive done it all a thousand times
There's never a new sunrise
But the repetition is so nice
The sun can be so kind
I’m holding it together
I can go on like this forever
If my back don’t give out
If the work don’t dry up
We can live out this dream of blissful love
This quiet domestic life
This quiet domestic life
Tell me we’ll be alright
Tell me we’ll be just fine

No Options

I've always been hopeful
but ive mostly gone around in circles
Ive always seen ghosts
I always see the ones i miss the most
ive never really gotten close
do i really have anything at all to show
I don't feel like i'm missing out
i think ive just lost track of what its all about
I try to be gracious
but i mostly wander around aimless
why should i be anxious
when i can't do a damn thing to fix this
If we’ve got no options
Then there really shouldn’t be a problem
If there’s just one option
Then there really shouldn’t be a problem

Unholy, Unheard Of
01:34

Is it godly when you don’t belong?
Is it righteous when you’re fucking wrong?
Guess it’s good cause it made me strong,
Living without God for so long

Working For Nothing

if only my voice was louder
if only my choice was more obvious
if only i could live without it
if only i could've been there the times i missed
were getting comfortable inside the machine
cuddled into gears and trying to sleep
crushed underfoot for so long it seems
there's not one among us who could be redeemed
if only the brakes were working
if only the late nights weren't so hard on her
if the only other choice is hurting
how long do you expect us to take this for
shoved into corners and culled in the streets
they trimmed my claws and broke my teeth
working for so long for nothing it seems

Our Time Is Coming
02:45
|

|
I think that my fight has gone out
The light in my heart has been replaced with doubt
I found myself someplace resembling hell
And it appears that there’s no way out
They’ll do anything to distract you
They’ll conjure up demons to harass and attack you
Don’t believe anything
Unless you absolutely have to
You gotta fight against nihilism
Fight against solipsism
You’ll build your own prison
And pay rent to lie in it
Don’t let them do you in
Don’t forget we are many
and our time is coming
The world has gotten so surreal
I don’t what to think or how to feel
Every day takes a little bit more
I’ve lost sight of what’s even real
I wish that I’d never lost faith
Because once it’s gone it don’t come back
You’ll make a religion out of hate
You’re gonna turn your back on the dreams you had
I don’t know what I can really do
Except to say that I feel it too
It’s hard to know sometimes
What’s really good for you
I try not to be hateful
Not to be paranoid
I try to be grateful
That I’ve not been destroyed
I know this feeling is how they win
dont forget we are many
our time is coming

Rats
02:51
|

|
We were rats hiding out in the caves and the woods
Just trying not to be crushed underfoot
Of the terrible lizards that ruled oer the land
Too massive by double for us to understand
And our hearts beat so fast as we dashed through the shadows
Running away from the things we could not know
The world was a nightmare and all of the sudden
The sky was ignited from the fireball coming
We hid in our dens as the world exploded
The world we’d inherit though we didn’t know it then
All of the dinosaurs choking and dying
We were only spared for our insignificance
When we emerged it was colder than hell
the sky was stitched up and thats when the snow fell
it fell for generations as we shivered and dug
cuddled in holes and living off bugs

Watch Me Be So Tough
02:11
|
|||
|
I think i love too much
For friends that aren't around enough
For all my stupid stuff
Watch me be so fucking tough
Said all you wanted was my love
but it won't be enough
Cruel is what it was
watch me be so fucking tough
You know I can't be alone
didn't think I'd call your bluff
Didn't think I'd hurt us both huh
look at me so fucking tough

Your Time Is Coming Too
02:37
|

Your wealth has rotted moths have eaten your clothes
Your words turn to ash and your gold and silver are corroded
You’ve been perverted by worldly obsessions and desires
You’re iniquities will testify against you: they’ll eat up your flesh like fire
Who will inherit the earth the poor and the wretched
You’ll lay in the sun legs broke at the knees and wounds festering
The bounds of God’s mercy are wide but they shouldn’t be tested
You may cover you’re ears and eyes but you’re still gonna receive this message
You can't go to heaven weighed down as you are
you can't take your property prestige or car
Let it go and maybe He'll go easy on you
(Pause for laughs)
God's gonna put an end to the greed
God's gonna put an end to this suffering
God's gonna put an end to you liars
God's gonna put an end to you sick fucks

an hardly stand the sound of this guitar
It’s gonna complain if I play too fast too hard
I can hardly stand the sound of my own voice
I really can’t stand that there’s no other choice
These words I’ve written fall flat coming out
They’re the baldest lies I think I’ve ever written down
Don’t look at me and I won’t look at you
You gotta stop looking looking looking for the truth
The truth is I'm wasting my time
getting beat down going inside
the truth isn't what you know to be right
the truth is what you gotta say just to try to survive
well the truth is everything will erode
the truth is were all gonna be put low
but i don't wanna go down alone
Well the truth is youre wasting your time
If youre listening to me trying to decide
if I should give up if i should just die
when i know ive got no choice but to try to survive
