The passage of time
Can pass us by
With no rhythm or rhyme
And no red sky
She can leave you behind
To chase her shade
And stress in the heat
Of uncounted days
But when will three
Turn to five
When did day
Turn to night
Oh when did three
Turn to five
When will day
Turn to night
Tell me about it
When you look in the glass
And don't recognise your face
Your hair grown so fast
Your chin's in second place
And your claws grow to talons
And your talons to knives
And they cut through the surface
Of your shallow disguise
But when will three
Turn to five
When did day
Turn to night
Oh when did three
Turn to five
When will day
Turn to night
I try to catch the mould
But the mold grows so fast
Faster than the hold
I have on the mast
I try to catch the mould
But the mold grows so fast
Faster than the hold
I have on the past
The passage of time
Passes me by
And I don't know why
But I let it go
Chasing the sun
Will burn out your eyes
And you'll die at sea
Before the horizon
Liquify
Slip to the tide
Then you'll know why
Then you'll be why

Goodnight

Goodnight
Though it's two in the evening
Just, goodnight
I'll see you in the morning
I can't stand to look at your face for much longer
Goodnight
Though it's one in the evening
Just, goodnight
I'll be in my room mourning
I can't stand by what you've become or what you're doing
You've got two sets of teeth that don't match
You can't eat without them knocking about
And biting your cheeks and making chalkboard screeches
Oh your mouth is double tongued
Two snakes struggling for power
Half a throat ain't enough for speech
So both just get louder
Oh you'd be lucky if it reached the other ear
Oh your eyes swivel separately
No knowing what the other sees
And if I could I don't think I would
Look in either shade of green
Your limbs can't communicate
Legs walking at different gaits
You can't decide on where to go
So go nowhere at all
So tell me was this intentional
Is this what the church had in mind
When the rolled pious lovers
Into crumbling theatres
And condemned then to eternity conjoined
Or at least until one of them dies
But what sort of message
Does it send to the kids
When the kitchen
Is the last place they'd eat
What sort of message
Does it send to the kids
When they wouldn't be caught dead
In the living room
Oh this house is a graveyard
My headrest a tombstone
And each night I sink further into my mattress
Oh I can't decide if I'm dying
Or just getting tired of being alive
You'd be hard pressed to find the difference
Oh these hard floors draw life from me
When I touch bare feet to them
The only place I can survive is carpet on the other side
But the hallway is trafficked by expressionless eyes
Whose stares sap the strength from me
And feet tread dirt in on my prize
So tell me was this intentional
Is this what the church had in mind
When they lay you on a table
Split you from chin to navel
And rearranged your organs while the world looked on
Just cause it's public doesn't make it any less wrong
But what sort of message
Does it send to the kids
When the kitchen
Is the last place they'd eat
What sort of message
Does it send to the kids
When they wouldn't be caught dead
In the living room
What sort of message
Does it send to the kids
When their example of love
Is too grotesque to repeat
What sort of message
Does it send to the kids
When they wouldn't be caught dead
In their parent's shoes
Oh this house is built on shifting plates
It doesn't want to stay in place
You fill its cracks up with mortar
But it just screams for more and more
They say home is where the heart is
But it's more of a digestive tract
Chewing us up
And shitting us out
Oh I was under the impression
That we couldn't communicate
But there so much to be said
In a stare
In a silence
In an exit
What sort of message are you trying to send
Still tryna figure that one out
And I guess I'll be waiting a while

Youth's No Excuse
06:27

Honey
I've been searching
For what makes me happy
But it's not working
Baby
I've been hoping
For some simple purpose
But it's not worth it
I spend my days
Dreaming of who I could become
And I spend my nights in fear of the same thing
My childhood dreams
Were something to cling to
Something to hold on to
And no I can't take them seriously
I'm gonna live in the forest
And befriend all the birds
Oh and they will bring me berries so I won't ever starve
Or I'll move out to the desert
And dig up ancient treasures
Return them to the locals who'll wrongly call be professor
This is what I want now
This is what I need
This is what a boy of twelve needs to believe
This is what I want now
This is what I need
This is what a boy of fourteen needs to believe
Is this what I want now
Is this what I need
Is this what a boy of sixteen needs to believe
Is this what I want now
Is this what I need
Is this what a boy of...eighteen
Youths no excuse
For a boy your age
No Youth's no excuse
For a boy your age
No Youth's no excuse for a boy my age
I've been playing ten years
Shouldn't I be better by now
Shouldn't I be faster by now
No Youth's no excuse for a boy my age
I've been playing ten years
Shouldn't I be better by now
Shouldn't I be settled now
No Youth's no excuse
But it was an escape
When I had the privilege to be young
Oh but I could never go back without destroying who I've become
Oh or view the theme park
Through the eyes of an adult
See the face beneath the paint
See the chain before the boat
And I don't think that's something with which
I could cope
So maybe I'll settle down
Maybe I'll settle down
Maybe I'll settle in a world where to settle is to lie
So maybe I'll settle down
Maybe I'll settle down
Maybe I'll settle in a world where to settle is to forget
So maybe I'll settle down
Maybe I'll settle down
Maybe I'll settle in a world where to settle is to be forgotten
So maybe I'll settle down
Maybe I'll settle down
Maybe I'll settle in a world where to settle is to die
Maybe I'll get outta bed
Maybe I'll put on my nice clothes
Maybe I'll prove to the people who believed in me
That their trust wasn't misplaced
Maybe I'll step outside
Maybe I'll get some exercise
Maybe I'll do the right thing cause I want to
And not because I was told

Hereditary

I hear your footsteps
My shoulders tense
The hallway thunders
The floorboards rend
I smell work on you
I hope you do not smell me
My retreat threatened
By the questions you deal
Oh what've I done
To make myself sweat
Nothing that
Deserves a shower
Oh what've I done
To make myself sweat
Nothing that
Concerns you father
I would not hate you
If I were not you
These photos are mocking me
Picture perfect prophecies
Were bound by blood
But how much blood can one man need
In me flows disease
Oh what've I done
To earn your love
Nothing that
Makes me want it
Oh what've I done
To earn your love
Nothing that
Makes me deserve it
These scenes are old
This script is tired
These lines are bold
Their writers liars
Your grift is ancient
But your grip is iron
Oh what've we done
To earn this love
Nothing that
Makes us want it
Oh what've we done
To earn this love
Nothing that
Makes us deserve it
Set me free from fate hereditary
