I hate you less
Than your parent's pettiness
They put you in boxes
And put your faith to the test
I've watched you drown
For 16 years
I've let you down
I've watch you spill many tears
Ignore that for now
Let's pretend we are married
Let's pretend we're choking each other's throats
Let's pretend we are scabs
On the arms of an angel bleeding in a moat
Let's pretend we are high
While we are drowning in our sorrows
But today is okay
Don't worry about tomorrow
I've seen your plight Take its toll
I hope you might Gain control
What will you do if you see the devil? Put him in a box and kill him
What will you do if you see the devil? Put him in a box and he's vanished
away
Let's pretend we are married
Let's pretend we're choking each other's throats
Let's pretend we are scabs
On the arms of an angel bleeding in a moat
Let's pretend we are high
While we are drowning in our sorrows
But today is okay
Don't worry about tomorrow

I Can Kick

You claim that you're insane
That it's all in your head that it's all in your brain
It has nothing to do that you want to be seen
It has nothing to do that people are mean
You claim the pills help
You claim the pills help you
No I can't disagree, but I can't endorse it
No I can't disagree, but I can't endorse it
I ain't sick
I can kick
(I can't slow down, I won't go around)
Just take it down a notch
I don't mean to be rude
Oh yes I do, oh yes I do, oh yes I do
I don't mean to
I have opinions and I need to suppress them apparently, need to suppress them apparently
Please let me breathe
Please
Apparently
I don't know where
I ain't sick I can kick
(I can't slow down, I won't go around)
She's helped you for such a long time
I can't relate
I will relate
I need to prove to you
Are you still human?
Are you still human?
I think you're still human
You are still human
Just let me go
I ain't sick I can kick
(I can't slow down, I won't go around)

They forgot the enemy could feel
Accused them of messing with the deal
We broke the code, we broke the mold
I told both sides to leave me alone
It's mass hysteria in the blob that's North America
It's mass hysteria in the blob that's North America
And I'm lost
Yea I'm lost
By the notion you give off
Now in motion we are gone
Why's it always gotta be so hard
I'm sorry for the bad connection
I just want fair protection
But I am willing to take some risks
So other people will not be missed
It's mass hysteria in the blob that's North America
It's mass hysteria in the blob that's North America
And I'm lost
Yea your lost path
By the notion you give off
Now in motion we are gone
Why's it always gotta be this hard
Its mass hysteria in the blob
There's mass hysteria in North America
and I'm lost
And your lost friend
By the notion you give off
Now in motion we are gone
Why's it always gotta be this hard

Basic Palm Trees

I see those beautiful faces
I watch them vanish every three years
The punishment is out of proportional to the crime
New faces appear during that time
They’re basic palm trees
Florida looks nice time of the year
Its weather is an act of piety
Its calming water is nice for a reprobate
They need something to stimulate
Try basic palm trees
Basic palm trees
Swinging in the breeze
Scrutinizing me
For leaving them behind
Though I’ve seen their plastics many times before
Being away from them makes me want them more
I don’t understand your conversation
I won’t understand your affiliations
Im carrying more than i can
Sea water makes me more american
Make basic palm trees
It has been too long to count the time
Though if i had to i would say its been
8 months 4 weeks and 6 days
My inner clock is going out of phase
Like basic palm trees
Basic palm trees
Swinging in the breeze
Scrutinizing me
For leaving them behind
Though I’ve seen their plastics many times before
Being away from them makes me want them more
