I wish to be a tiny bird
so I could fly around inside your mind

Headache

H.E.A.D.A.C.H.E.

Shut your mouth

Shut your mouth, we'll get right to it
Shut your mouth, and we'll get right to it.

You're Not Sleeping With Sheets Anymore

You've been sniffing malt powder
and downing it with Jameson
Stole your roommates' money
Just like Zeus

While at your ex's place,
sex and grilling steaks
Just like when a garden gnome
returns to it's place

I want to quit my job.
I'd rather suck on a rotten log
then go back tomorrow.

Limits

The limits run through their veins
at an even-keeled pace

They hide from the mirror,
from seeing their own face.
