Get Yourself To Be Here

Hidin' out hidin' out
For a little while
(You coulda been a good one)
Honey no honey don't
Just give a little smile
(You coulda been real fun)
Hurry up, hurry out
Get yourself to be here
(You coulda been a good one)
Help me though, help me out
Just be here

Used To It

She got a backroom neurosis for settling scores
Blames her cuts on the roses instead of the thorns
Thinks we won't notice the dump in her drawers
We're so used to her bullshit by now
And ain't she precocious, the way she starts wars
A very poor hostess, one star out of four
So braggadocious, her tongue full of lore
We're too used to her nonsense by now
Bullshit and nonsense and nonsense and bullshit
The smell of it filling the room
She never ceases no she never quits
We'll be suffocating soon

The lines we've tried to draw between reality and dream just don't solidify
The love between the echoes of our screams just does not satisfy
So let's lose our minds together
Let's
The schizophrenic seizure dreams we've tried to crawl between might never open wide
To let us out for good it seems, so let us form a losing team
Whose ranks don't give a damn for winning anyway
Let's lose our minds together
Let's
We know there's more than one way out
We know there's more than one way in
But gravity's against us all the way
And you and I can't stay
So let's lose our minds together
Let's
Not a choice, it's happening
The rot we feel is staggering
The lines that used to be there disappearing bit by bit

Laugh Laugh Laugh

Two sick puppies in love and insane
Bonded by whatever's wrong with our brains
The ups and the downs never did coincide
I'd be down in the dumps, she'd be off for a ride
But we met in the middle when the getting was good
Lines not to cross, it was well understood
But we both made a sound nearly cut me in half
I told her I loved her and she laughed laughed laughed
Now it's two years later and the tables have turned
She's a hole in the ground, I'm on top of the world
She wants back together but we never were
I honestly feel a bit sorry for her
I'm pretty good at holding a grudge
But I almost cave in, hey I almost budge
Til she says something so howlingly daft
She tells me she loves me and I laugh laugh laugh

Venomwise

In the tall grass
There's a creature
Creeping up
Up behind
Never harmless
That'll teach ya
That those with fang
And no spine
Mean you ill
Venomwise

How many souls has she stolen?
How many more can she steal?
There's a long smear of used-to-be underneath her wheels
And an hour a minute or less
In her favorite state of undress
Was once worth so much
But soon enough
She'll be shit outta luck
How many promises broken?
How many more can she break?
There's a thin line between coulda been woulda been
Shoulda been coulda been great
She's got a way to make em feel blessed
When she's already on to the next
It was once worth so much
But soon enough
She'll be shit outta luck
How many hearts has she eaten?
How many more can she eat?
There are footprints all over the crime scene
And I'd bet anything they're a fit for her feet
Now the world is no longer impressed
And we're glad we can give it a rest
And watch her wheels get stuck
When she runs out of people to fuck
And her love is all used up
Well soon enough
She'll be shit outta luck

Benjamin Lee Farley Asheville, North Carolina
Never took a lesson in my life. All songs written, played, sung/sang/sing-ed, produced, computerized / all album covers made
by Ben unless otherwise noted.
NONE of my sounds are made with Artificial Intelligence, just a few album covers. Is anybody reading this? If so thank you. If not, then I guess I can say whatever I want because you'll never read it. So fuck you I guess? Just kidding madluv.
