THINGS
01:08

Article one: take this medicine
Article two: holy shit, dude, you're dying
Articles three through nineteen all deal with hygiene
Article twenty's only online
Page one: a pretty thing, holding a pretty thing
Page two: a germ with a head cold
Pages three through nineteen are just advertising
Pretty things you too can hold
These things in our lives, they're worthless
These things in our lives, they're worthless
All these things in our lives are worthless
All that really matters in the end is love
These things in our lives, they're worthless
These things in our lives, they're worthless
All these things in our lives are worthless
All that really matters in the end is love
Article one: you are less-than
Article two: you should really feel bad
Articles three through nineteen are frightening nonsense
Article twenty's just an ad
These things in our lives, they're worthless
These things in our lives, they're worthless
All these things in our lives are worthless
All that really matters in the end is love

FAILING, FALLING APART
01:31
|

Failing and falling apart
Failing and falling apart
That's my thing
It's such a thrill to use one's skill
Failing and falling apart
That's my thing
My one special thing
Failing and falling apart
Failing and falling apart
That's my thing
It's such a thrill to use one's skill
Failing and falling apart
That's my thing
My one special thing
Failing and falling apart
Failing and falling apart
That's my thing
It's such a thrill to use one's skill
Failing and falling apart
That's my thing
My one special thing
Coming apart at the seams
That's my thing

IF IT'S OK, NO
01:07
|
|||
I do not want to
If it's OK, no
Thanks but no thanks, dude
I don't want to go
I don't want to try, but I do
I try for you
I shouldn't be here
I do not like this
This is not me, dear
An unfortunate likeness
I don't want to care, but I do
I care about you
I care and I care and I care and I care
It kills me a little to do
But I care about you

SO MUCH DEPENDS

Hello, my friend
Hello, my friend
Can it stay this way forever?
So much depends on the lousy weather
Goodbye, my friend
Goodbye, my friend
You'll be in my head forever
I'll be content talking to your doppleganger
Hello, my friend
Hello, my friend
Goodbye, my friend
Goodbye, my friend
Hello, my friend
Goodbye, my friend

WHO U R

You are where you are
You are where you are right now
You are where you need to be
You be you, I'll be me
It's so easy
No matter where you are
You are where you are
You are where you are right now
You are where you need to be
You be you, I'll be me
It's so easy
No matter where you are
You are who you are
You are who you are right now
You are who you ought to be
You are you perfectly
It's so easy
You are who you are

THE CONSUMMATE DESTROYER
01:04
|
|||
I don't want to know
Please don't tell me
I, I don't want to know
Please don't tell me
I prefer to remain
In a state of blissful ignorance
I prefer to remain
In a state of false abundance
I prefer to remain
Here in this fluffed-up fiefdom
As dumb as they come and coming hard
The consummate destroyer's calling card
I don't want to know
Please don't tell me
I, I don't want to know
Please don't tell me
Because I, I don't want to know

I HOPE YOU CALL
01:05
|
|||
I hope you call
There's nothing much to say
We said it all
Still, I hope you call
I hope you're good
And if that's vague, I'll make it understood
I hope you feel good
Eight billion human circles overlapping
Each circle feels so small
We're all afraid to fall
Man, I hope you call
The door is waiting open
The light on in the hall
Some things can be unbroken
Just call

THE SAME OLD FITS
01:00
|
|||
Get that shitty dream outta here
I don't need a reason to be me
I'm sick of this ridiculous shit
Wasting energy, lamenting
Reinventing the tragedy
It just goes on and on and on and on and on
Get that attitude outta here
I don't need your blessing to be happy
I'm throwing all the same old fits
Wasting energy, resenting you
Ensuring I feel petty
It just goes on and on and on and on and on
Get that dream outta my sight
I don't need a reason to be happy
I've been fleeing from the past and the future
In a search for a better or more useful identity
It just goes on and on and on and on
Until I say it's done
And so
It's done

BACK IT UP
01:02
|
|||
Back it up
It's all you
Don't follow me
I'm determining what makes me happy
Back it up
Teach me
Don't preach to me
See or don't see
I've got my own things
Love is it
I think we know it, but blow it
So let's recommit to it
Love is it
I think we know it, so let's show that shit
(Love)
Back it up
(Is it)
It's all you
Don't follow me
(I think we know it, but blow it)
I'm determining what makes me happy
(So let's recommit to it)
(Love)
Let's back things up
(Is it)
Get me, or go away
Stay or don't stay
(I think we know it, so let's show that shit)
But don't stand in my way
