Routine (free) 02:32
lyrics

there are so many things i want to say but the past is just that to me i'm no dalloway and while i may appear to be a fragile thing, like a flower or weed i assure you no one's gonna pluck me i'm naturally plucky you can let her do whatever you want let her give you head, let her stay in your bed and when you arise in the morning for the sunrise and see her with me may you see orange lavender and pink and red there are so many things wrong with this routine but the past is just that and i don't know what that means because while i may appear to be an insufferable opportunist, i'm actually a piece of chicken shit no one's gonna love me i'm naturally ugly and i'll let her do whatever she wants i'll let her walk all over my dirty heart and backyard and she look longingly through the chain link fence i'll call her a bitch, she'll call me a hypocrite and we're back where we started from she'll leave and i'll say, "see you next month!"

caught you looking away caught you tearing away at the fabric of everything we worked for, you devoured it whole hopeless, in all my devotion broke ass, but not quite done for give me a reason to be and i'll give you a reason to be seeing stars i'm taking your change and i'm taking charge pump your fists in the air, like that'll bring revolution throw your arms in the air, like you've just given up i know that sometimes it seems so meaningless but remember things can only have meaning if we assign it to them despite what those corporate ads may tell you, failure's an option despite what those corporate ads may tell you... life sucks when you're young and then it sucks when you're old you wanna die when you're young and you'll die when you're old so clutch your tiger beat like it's the fountain of youth tell yourself the tiger beat is the only semblance of truth pump your fists in the air, like that'll bring revolution throw your arms in the air, like you've just given up i know that sometimes it seems so meaningless but remember things can only have meaning if we assign it to them despite what those liberal douchebags swear, failure's an option despite what those liberal douchebags swear... woah oh woah oh chorus despite what those corporate ads may tell you, failure's an option despite what those liberal douchebags swear, failure's an option despite what your mother says about you, failure's an option

here we go again with that "here we go again" i swear i could've been there and back by now the sky is full of diamonds is an admirable theory if you're an idiot or separatist blood's thicker than sarsaparilla you know what they say about cooks in the kitchen get your split personalities in order alphabetize the books on your shelves and get yourself together because you're destined to lose you're destined to cry destined to be sacrificed you're the first in your family to graduate high school the first in your family to feel any god damn shame here we go again with the shit that's in your head i don't seem to be able to depart you couldn't possibly confess couldn't possibly admit all the doubts you have about their so-called clout chorus here we go again i've got paper and a pen i need a guitar strap and a pic people like you make me sick and here we go again with your dogma and your sin with your virginity and sexualization "amy, the least you could do is put up with them" chorus you're the first in your family to aim to dissent you're the first in your family to refuse to repent you're the first in your family to feel any goddamn shame

Nerds (Part Two) (free) 03:39
lyrics
download
23 is only one away from my favorite number 22 but all the bloodshed can't compare to how i felt when i'd heard you'd married her you'd married her you married her you married her will nineteen be my lucky break, or will something else get broke is the question here i wish you'd just go away, take your smug face with you, my version of a tiger beat poster you married her you fit my dimensions perfectly you should be inside of me i read an essay you wrote back in '97 jerked off and it got me to eleven i built my imaginary life around you we had an imaginary house with imaginary curtains too and i can't believe you would do that to me you should be inside of me but whatever you're so not a dreamboat, and you're so not all that, and you're super awkward, and you're so uncoordinated and i'm so alone and god i love it, what the hell do you mean by jaded you're so not really that smart, and you're probably not that interesting and you're so not really that great, what the hell was i thinking and there are so many variables and reasons why you can't leave her, why the hell do i want to bone a math nerd? you married her

Archy i really like your type i really like your type archy i'm staying up all night i'm staying up all night (not that i wouldn't anyway i'm just not the kind of person to appreciate the day) Archy i know you won't hear me i know you won't hear me but archy, i've just gotta try they've been saying that you will survive (duck and cover motherfucker and kiss your ass goodbye) let's talk about the little things, like the way your top lip quirks up when you say something funny let's talk about the miserable things, like the earthquakes, the economy, and plastic surgery there are so many things that i want to say, but the cat's got my tongue and buried it in her litter box archy you're the greatest poet that's ever been i don't give two shits about Dickinson archy i'll be the worst desperate act that you'll ever do you'll need insecticide to get me off of you archy i really like your type i'm staying up all night archy i really like your type i think it's really nice

You ran the stop sign; I will too You forgot to tie your shoe My tongue is so... My tongue is so... My tongue is so... What’s the problem here? You’re gonna kill me for something I haven’t done yet You’re blaming me for the fallout Lighters in the air There’s no way to win with you There’s no way out of echelon hell I’m damned if I don’t, damned if I do damned underground to be thoroughly amused by the debris you’ve left behind You can shine the light down on my head Hopefully a bulb will grow and then I’ll truly know... I’ll truly know... I’ll truly know... what’s the problem here chorus have I lost my mind? You ran the stop sign I will too You crashed and I guess that I will too There’s always tomorrow, always tomorrow Always the light of a new day

tabula rasa look at you now running around like you're proud of your route living your life like those girls on tv they always said it was bad for you anyway i see your future floating stagnant in the air a boy tells you he loves you and then you don't care throw it all away watch it wash down the drain i tried to tell you you were in danger but you saw it a different way what the hell is wrong with you? are you truly that stupid? sure it's to be expected, to be real world disconnected to tie yourself down to our zip code in texas but you coulda done better than that, sis tainted tablet look at you now in over your head so bad you can't even tread in over your head so bad you'd be lucky to ever see the light of day again
