Murderbar 03:47
ever since you were so scared of bees Ever since you swallowed gasoline ever since you fell out that window I’ve remained intrigued I’ve suckered for every word I’ve suckered for every look I’m a let you know let you know let you know you’re so so so so so I’m a let you know let you know let you know you’re so so so so so every since you were the queen of sake the knees have been scuffed climbing fences and small backseats the knees remained taut and KD is the king of the ear flop KD is king of the ear flop we push for the odd numbers Draw out a game plan If we could invent a secret language Inshallah, Inshallah If We could invent a secret language Inshallah, Inshallah Feel decades down the back end Climbing out of shotguns We are made of wild energy Pull a father of swords I’m a let you know let you know let you know you’re so so so so so You cannot hide what lays under a branch You need to hear the other notes for a second glance Grenadine is the queen bee of red forty Grenadine is the queen bee of red forty never seen a popsicle melt away so fast We can’t hide a single line Scurry through the empty throngs Gulping up all the laughter a sunny freak train sing along XO fourteen times in a row XO fourteen times in a row this is known as AD There’s not a time before it I’m a let you know let you know let you know you’re so so so so so I’m a let you know let you know let you know you’re so so so so so Kiss me back, full eyes I’m so let you know Lit like a roman candle I’m so let you know pregnant pause in a car I’m so let you know full slab, mild sauce I’m so let you know Seventy fifth Street Four AM Seventy Fifth Street Dead Battery Seventy Fifth Street Four AM Seventy Fifth Street We’re A Winner

Lil Bit 03:31
Up until that very moment I always saw myself as a solo distant sad sad man Up until that very moment A lost sound cried out for comfort for confidence unending care Up until that very moment I’d never wait another minute til you walked in alluring grace a bright shiny light Up until that very moment passed on reading that book till you leaned in and said aloud a secret skill gotta read it like prose a kiss a bite a scratch 86 paces laid out that’s what gets me home an empty home, boxes and crates drawing breath 48 paces laid out that’s what gets you to a new life new shelter new walls to climb 12 paces laid out tied in a box and this is a love song tied up in a box 6 paces laid out right on my back warm vibration an anxious purr welcomes the day feels like it’s feeding time a kiss a bite a scratch stuck at the top of the same damn city tickets stuck in the purse night is fading scoop you up enjoy this moment night is fading you’re in hiding this is the last chance a satellite to oneself a kiss a bite a scratch we built a territory for our hearts we built a territory for our home

I found myself the cold side of the road rarely this stitch time that’s cruel as air Machinery is cursed Nature pushed it back an impotent stance tears born through layers turn over a signal will they hear what’s a scream a shattered bone community Planned well in advance thought I had it all The charms don’t work a once beautiful land darkest passage at twelve Hot hoofing a curse a dawn felt in the heel a legend of swing might it solve all problems will they hear what’s a scream a shattered bone community sound and ground no witness will they hear what looks like a scream bits of bone bits of blood over the rocks drink up drink up no witness drink up drink up over the rocks drink up drink up Here’s to you. Here’s to you here’s to you to your health will they hear what’s a scream a shattered bone community

I got this sound near my house it goes beep beep beep beep beep and you might as well invite me in cuz any given summer day I get to hear all your trials abusive threats and expletives communicate by screaming there are ways to work this out there are ways to speak so softly as the seasons change I grow in fear of that moment when I’ll wake up to you I’ll wake up to hear a scream Andrew Andrew There are times when I want to break a code right neighborly social contract holler for the pigs or write a secret letter but I hold it back and i see you litter a house that lies east one full of trauma one full of abuse I wonder who’ll escape your survival is crucial may you ever get free Brick by brick don’t lead by example brick by brick don’t lead by example I got this sound near my house don’t lead by example Brick my brick A sound near my house

You did it again You shot your mouth off Barring experience You went with your own interactions The blood on the ground Could never be unjust An Examination Without Context Of economic structures Wrong Town Watch For The Blue Wrong Town Watch For The Blue “I don’t even see color That’s why I dismiss your fight” Gonna write on the walls Scribble out “black” for “all” My voice really matters It wasn’t already determined To benefit my life that’s why Can’t get out the way Wrong Town Watch For The Blue Wrong Town Watch For The Blue There’s a bullet for every second There’s a bullet for every year There’s a bullet for every son There’s a bullet for every daughter And this is a different neighborhood So sorry to inconvenience you But this is a different neighborhood So sorry to inconvenience you Wrong Town Watch For The Blue Wrong Town Watch For The Blue

there’s this inherent desire placed between the bed and the wall there’s this inherent desire to turn over the money that I owe the water police there’s this inherent desire bug-a-boo on the fingertips maybe you should wear a fruit hat there’s this inherent desire fucked up your life now it’s time to die fucked fucked up your life now it’s time to die so happenstance a bunch of dumb luck you can set your watch it runs like a train it runs to the ocean it climbs up the rocks scares you right back I’ll sell you the whole seat but you’ll only need the edge for how I’m about to break your streak a raspberry fills the air a tilted bed leads to sleep you say eleven and I say eight what I’d give to feel a kick what I’d give to feel a curl what I’d give to feel a shove watch the horror upside down and you’ll only need the edge but I’ll sell you the whole seat fucked up your life now it’s time to die fucked fucked up your life now it’s time to die so happenstance a bunch of dumb luck you can set your watch it runs like a train it runs to the ocean it climbs up the rocks scares you right back I want to freeze this image so serene and pure I want to freeze this image locks that hang above I want to freeze this image of the trees that dance I want to freeze this image of your street lights

I gotta say Dad still looks good after forty eight years laying in the dirt Never really knew my dad but I fit in his jacket and I know all his moves makes an honest racket you might know this one it’s a poppy little number it’s one for you lovebirds and it goes like this Hello Baby Where I’m Callin From Hello Baby Where I’m Callin From When I Step On His Stage And I feel his spirit When I’m under his light And I see his crowd That’s a piece of stardom A treasure of love that I’ll never have but I’ll sell his box I’ll sell his shoes I’ll sell his hits I’ll assume a gun went down in the cab I surround myself with frauds I’m the running bear now Hello Baby Where I’m Callin From Hello Baby Where I’m Callin There were massive fractures from head to toe he didn’t even crawl but he still looks good

Room 141 02:42
There’s That Sound Again Sounds Like A Lot Of Fun There’s That Sound Again Headboard against a wall And there’s that sound Shutter Speed through A Keyhole There’s That Sound Again Not Your Reputation is it Respect Privacies Room 141 Respect Privacies Room 141 Room 141 Private action Made Public Private Action Made Public Private Action There’s That Sound Again Laugh and Laugh And Laugh There’s That Sound Again Never know what you’ll miss And there’s that sound Pleasure over pillows There’s that sound again Sniveling little sender Respect Privacies Room 141 Respect Privacies Room 141 Room 141 Private action Made Public Private Action Made Public Private Action It’s all one big party one big party for you to dance around dance around every insecurity hang it gingerly gingerly off a knob let it hang for all to see an ivory tower seats your orange crate let it be kept warm play dumb play dumb a muffled voice through a wall your own shame foul fronting while an admission hangs and this one’s got a story even if they weren't there this one’s got a contribution when no one even asked and I know about this guy treats his friends like a zoo I know about this guy treats his friends like a zoo.

If you’re ever wishing for me to flinch at the shine of your knife If you’re ever wishing for me to cry at your dullest edge and you boys Got a lot of nerve to step to a queen and you boys got a lot of nerve to step to a queen Fall on your wrists this is real blood this is real blood Fall on your wrists this is real blood this is real blood wrapped up in your cause pose displace a crowd wrapped up in your mockery it only took a second to see right through it it only took a second to know which side it only took a second to see there’s no depth If you’re ever wishing for me to crack at a flex on your part If you’re ever wishing for me to laugh at your thirty year joke and you boys got a lot of nerve to step to a queen and you boys got a lot of nerve to step to a queen Fall on your wrists This is real blood This is real blood Fall on your wrists This is real blood This is real blood Fall on your wrists This is real blood This is real blood Fall on your wrists This is real blood This is real blood Got the whole world in your leather glove what is an accusation? what is causality? Couldn’t even dress it up an old trope needs attention Couldn’t even shine it a lack of self respect Couldn’t even move past it your blade has gone dull Pressed up to my neck Boiled over to the red and it’s all old hat The print journalist got it all right “I guess this is rock music” The print journalist got it all right in five hundred words Measured and precise exciting comparisons The print journalist got it all right enough to keep their job. They ride their bike from Brooklyn they live in Greenwich Village The print journalist got it all right enough to get on the list Lines right out the acheron a mortar shell right through your skull.
