Burnt popcorn seeds vaguely taste like watermelon
Maybe it's a texture thing or perhaps I'm just craving
To have some watermelon so I'm just thinking about it
And whatever is in my mouth reminds me of it
Kind of like whenever I think about pineapple
I feel the acidity on the roof of my mouth
And every time that I have some pineapple
It's not half as acidic as I seem to have recalled
So maybe I should just not take my memories for granted
Cause if and when I grow old I'll probably lose them all
Maybe I'll just misremember the taste of pineapple
Or I won't recognize my own reflection in the pond
And maybe next time I have some watermelon I will find
It tastes nothing like the burnt popcorn seeds I had last time
And maybe next time I have some pineapple I will see
How sweet a taste it'd be to share with my chosen family
Burnt popcorn seeds vaguely taste like watermelon
Maybe it's a texture thing or perhaps I'm just craving
To have some watermelon so I'm just thinking about it
And whatever is in my mouth reminds me of it
And whatever is in my mouth reminds me of it

Don't cry, don't you cry
Don't cry because, I know you'll be alright
Memories from the past,
When I was sexually harrassed,
It's too late for me to call blame
Cause I don't remember names
But I was, isolated,
I was, alienated,
I was made to be the fool
Even though I thought I was kinda cool
I had this one so-called friend
This tough chubby black kid
I went to his house one time
And he jacked off in front of me
That was really gross and weird
It was under the desk so I couldn't really tell
What he was doing till I thought about it later
And somehow I was the faggot
He kept me around for his amusement
I just wanted to not feel like a shoe-in
But I was his punching bag
And also somehow I was the fag
Everybody there called me that
...
I mean they were right but still it hurts, yeah
Memories from the past,
When I was sexually harrassed,
I escaped through the internet,
But my cynicism grew from it
I was, isolated,
I was, alienated,
My one, only true friend was the weird kid
I wonder how he's doing
But it's been too long for me to really call
Yes, it's been far too long for me to call
Says there's a reason
Says there's a reason
Says there's a reason
Says there's a reason
God says there's a reason
God says there's a reason
God says there's a reason
God says there's a reason
And I don't know if that's true
Yes I don't know anymore if that's true
And I don't know anymore if god has a plan
Does he have a plan for us?
Oh, I don't know if god has a plan
Does he have a plan for us?
Oh, I don't know if god has a plan
Does he have a plan for us?!
Does he have a plan for us?!
Does he have a plan for us?!
Us...
Does he have a plan for us?!
Does he have a plan for us?
Does he have a plan for us?

Please, oh butcher I have a request
Would you rid me of my vessel of flesh?
You'll be doing a great service to all of our friends
It's not cannibalism cause I'm not human
Oh please, burn all my hairs off
Oh please, peel my whole face off
I can't stand my own mortal coil
Then you can cook it with tin foil
Pack it all up and serve to Sir Doyle
He's one of my closest friends
Over the 90 years he's been dead
Don't know what'll happen cause God has been gone
Or he stopped caring at all cause I'm here on this earth
I'm just canner beef I don't even deserve me
Please just grind me up and immolate me
I can't look in the mirror cause it's filled with those snakes
I can't even look down cause I'll see my disgrace
I can't even speak cause I'll intone it all wrong
There's no true god of hope so I wanna be gone
So please, burn all my hairs off
Oh please, peel my whole face off
I'm a freak, perfectly normal
If you do it I won't contribute
To the forty-one they use as rebuke
I'll just be a common casualty
They'll mark my grave wrong and that's my legacy
So please, burn all my hairs off
Oh please, peel my whole face off
I'm a freak, perfectly normal
If you do it I won't contribute
To the forty-one they use as rebuke
I'll just be a common casualty
They'll mark my grave wrong and that's my legacy

I've been missing you more lately and I don't know why
Is it cause you're closer than ever and I'm not doing too fine?
Maybe it's a breaking point or what my mind wants to believe
All I know for sure is that I want you next to me
And I've been losing sleep
(One, two, three, four!)
Day in day out seems that I cannot comprehend
Every little thing's a risk and the reward is to live
Dirty, unwashed, strapped for cash is how my spirit exists
Felt like I'm up for Jackson Review cause all I see's a bitter end
Until you come around
Pick me up when I'm down
I've been missing you more lately and I don't know why
Is it because you're closer than ever and I'm not doing too fine?
Maybe it's a breaking point or what my mind wants to believe
All I know for sure is that I want you next to me
And I've been losing sleep
Love me, help me, hug me, talk to me, write more verbs for this verse for me
Hold me, make it warm when it's so cold, your body heat's enough to be comfortable
I apologize for when I go in a frizz, I apologize that commute's so expensive
Then I start complaining, raving and ranting
Next thing you know I'm borderline crashing!
Until you come around
Pick me up when I'm down
I've been missing you more lately and I don't know why
Is it because you're closer than ever and I'm not doing too fine
Maybe it's a breaking point or what my mind wants to believe
All I know for sure is that I want you next to me
And I've been losing sleep
I've been losing sleep!

I think I'd rather be at home
Than to watch the football on TV
I think I'd rather be at home
Than to be here on this small settee
Things are rocking at Heather's party
I think we're going to have a ball
Who's that puking in the garden?
Who's that up against the wall?
I don't think that you like me much
So why on Earth are you trying to talk to me?
I don't think that you know my name
So why on Earth do you want my sympathy?
Things are rocking at Heather's party
I think we're going to have a ball
Who's that puking in the garden?
Who's that up against the wall?
I'm not a party boy, I don't
Know any party tricks, and now
Here I am with this girl discussing
Masturbation and politics, oh please
Why don't you leave us alone? I don't
Want another sausage roll, oh please
Why don't you go away before I
Punch you in the face today?
I think I'd rather be at home...

Essa vida tá cheia de tristeza
Esta vida, cheio do mal
Mas tem uma certa coisa
A mais triste, que eu já vi
É uma coisa tão envergonhosa
Me dá medo de até falar
O problema da nossa história
É punheteiro pro hentaizão
Vai punheteiro, vai!
Vai punheteiro, vai!
Vai punheteiro, vai!
Vai punheteiro, vai!
Vai punheteiro, mão
Vai punheteiro, meu irmão (meu irmão, meu irmão, meu irmão, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma!)

Ah mas você não precisa, né? Cê não precisa, já que tem seus, seus, seus, seus, seus hentaizinho aí, né? Cê não precisa, não! Não precisa de o toque de uma mulher não, ein?
Deus abençoe aqueles artistas, né punheteiro? Aqueles artistas tão talentosos, usando seu talento pra desenhar aquelas deliciosas coxas, né punheteiro? Aquelas deliciosas coxas, né? Ahh!!
O punheteiro, ele só acorda
E já vai pro computador
Ele passa seus dias na mão direita
E vai dormir no seu porão
Vai punheteiro, vai
Vai punheteiro, vai
Vai punheteiro, vai
Vai punheteiro, vai
Vai punheteiro, mão
Vai punheteiro, meu irmão
Meu irmão, meu irmão, meu irmão, mão mão mão mão mão mão mão mão
Vai punheteiro, vai

(O echo, né?)
Ô punheteiro, punheteiro meu irmão
Cê já saiu do porão hoje, ein punheteiro?
A mãe tem que vim limpar isso aí cara

Cheiro de mijo, bosta... porra né?
Literalmente! Porra, punheteiro!
Dá vergonha, né? Dá vergonh-

Só por curiosidade, você já viu a luz do dia punheteiro?
Você já viu a luz do dia? Sabe? Não sei se você viu, já, já esqueceu, né?
Porra, que fedor!!
Aliás, que bosta é essa? Que revista é essa?

Cara, essa menina parece que tem uns... oito anos, que bosta é essa cara?
Ah, dragão de nove mil anos? Ah, sa- lógico, né? Dragão de nove mil anos parece, menininha assim. Cê tá-
Porra punheteiro, vou chamar a polícia em você!
Wee-woo, wee-woo, wee-woo!

Doggy here, doggy here
Sitting on my bone (wait, no, that's not right)
Hey doggy here, doggy here
Stop chewing on my throat
Hey doggy here, doggy here
Looking on the floor
Hey doggy here, doggy here
See the writing on the wall
Don't want ya here no more, be gone
Be gone, be gone
Oh, why are we feeling sad?
Oh, Noah's dog gone mad
Oh, (???) away
Oh, it will return some day
Doggy here, toss a stick
Run over there
Doggy here, stay distracted
With anxious laws
Doggy here, doggy here
Gnawing on my brain
Hey doggy here, doggy here
Keep me from the plane
...the barking, avoid the pain
Frenzied barking, to repeat the refrain
Refrain, refrain
Oh, why are we feeling sad?
Oh, Noah's dog gone mad
Oh, never went away
So... oh, ruin me and flay
Doggy here, doggy here
Pet my head please
Doggy here, doggy here
I need to eat
Doggy here, doggy here
Give me a treat
Doggy here, doggy here
Are you me?
Let me go home
Leave me alone
Oh, why are we feeling sad?
Oh, Noah's dog gone mad
Oh, rabbits on a field
Oh, what is it they yield?

Let's round up the evidence, gather up the facts
I'm a restless energy and you can't relax
Met up for the hell of it just to try our luck
Now it's become evident we're too scared to fuck
(Hi!)
These are not the circumstances i thought i'd end up in
But here i somehow find a decent peace of mind
Secure in having no idea where i'm going
They said you'll never work out
You're scatterbrained and hopeless
And that you've got no marketable skills
But i think I'll do fine
Cause these two eyes of mine
Are full of stars and hope and time to kill
Cause it took so long to grow up
Wasn't worth the wait
We just stood in line for hours
Just to save the date
All my patience has worn off, my tolerance grows thin
I can't stand the air no more, it's wearing down my skin
I've been burying myself in sedatives and either
Moving east and west but never forward
So if i don't get up, and push myself enough
I'll just end up right back to where we started so
Let's round up the evidence and tally up the truth
I'm an angsty household cat untamed and fireproof
Left town for the hell of it just to try my luck
So if this doesn't work out baby i'm completely fucked!

My fingerprints are getting burned off
From using the too hot touchpad
Of my MacBook Pro
As I casually scroll through
The fetish-based forum
Of which I am an active member
I promise I will never use the term anthro-fiction
When describing your body of work
And I promise I will never stop overusing superlative words
Like rad or awesome...
Because you always work on Thursday night
And I need something else to analyze
I'm making a fortune, painting you a portrait of the artist
While I'm waiting for these updates to upload
Let me talk for just a minute about your use
I don't remember this bar
I don't remember the words
To the second verse
But that's okay
As long as I keep on singing
And you don't really understand me
And I my slur my words a bit
So that you think I'm saying something of value
But even though I'm not
I'm literally just saying
That as a performer I'm very unreliable
Because you always work on Thursday night
And I need something else to analyze
I'm making a fortune, painting you a portrait of the artist
(E agora, é minha parte preferida. Não é original né, mas eu gosto de fazer. Se vocês reconhecerem, canta junto, faz o que quer, né? Não sou sua mãe pra mandar em vocês.)
My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so, and this I know for sure
But does she really wanna
But can't stand to see me walk out that door?
Don't try to fight the feeling
'Cause the thought alone is killing me right now
Thank God for Mom and Dad
For sticking two together 'cause we don't know how
Hey ya!
Hey ya!
Hey ya!
Hey ya!
You think you've got it, oh, you think you've got it. got-
But "got it" just don't get it 'til there's nothing at all
We get together, oh, we get together, gether
But separate's always better when there's feelings involved
Know what they say is, "Nothing is forever"
So what makes, so what makes love the exception?
Oh why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh
Are we so in denial when we know we're not happy here?
Because you always work on Thursday night
And I need something else to analyze
I'm making a fortune, painting you a portrait of the artist
Because you always-
And I need something- hey ya!
Hey ya!
I'm making a- hey ya!
Painting you a- hey ya!
Of the artist

Concorde, this organ
The new one I'm formin'
It's grown so persistent on you by the morning
I fell to my feet
And the doctor said, "We are unfortunately
Running out of options to treat"
What a funny way to speak
And you, like Concorde
I came, a gentle hill racer
I was breathless
Upon every mountain
Just to look for your light
Concorde, I miss you
Don't text me till winter
I can hardly afford
A second summer of splinters
This staircase
It leads only to some old pictures of you
Through an a-thousand-mile-long tube
Hey, what's a city boy to do?
And you, like Concorde
I came, a gentlе hill racer
I was breathless
Upon еvery mountain
Just to look for your light
But for less than a moment
We'd share the same sky
And then Isaac will suffer
Concorde will fly
Concorde, we're old now
And you wield a lightsaber
And led by the dark to our place on the table
So don't tell me you're hungry
'Cause darlin', I'm starving myself
And I heard you're on Atkins as well
I was made to love you
Can't you tell?
And you, like Concorde
I came, a light blue sleeper
And I laid dead or twitching
For most of the night
But I know that you'll be there
The sandman inside
And I'll come to like a child
Concorde and I die free this time

You can say the sun is shining if you really want to
I can see the moon and it seems so clear
You can take a road that takes you to the stars now
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through
You can say the sun is shining if you really want to
I can see the moon and it seems so clear
You can say the sun is shining if you really want to
I can see the moon and it seems so clear
You can take a road that takes you to the stars now
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through
I can take a road that'll see me through

I thought I felt your shape but I was wrong
Really all I felt was falsely strong
I held on tight and closed my eyes
It was dumb, I had no sense of your size
It was dumb to hold so tight
Aaah, but last night
On your birthday in the kitchen
My grip was loose, my eyes were open
I felt your shape and heard you breathing
I felt the rise and fall of your chest
I felt your fall, your winter snows
Your gusty blow, your lava flow
I felt it all, your starry night
Your lack of light
With limp arms I can feel most of you
I hung around your neck independently
And my loss was overwhelmed
By this new depth I don't think I ever felt
But I don't know, my nights are cold
And I remember warmth
I could have sworn I wasn't alone

I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get you
And it's a pink moon
Yeah, it's a pink moon
Pink, pink, pink, pink
Pink moon
A pink, pink, pink, pink
Pink moon
I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get you all
And it's a pink moon
Yeah, a pink moon

His father was a drinker
And his mother cried in bed
Folding John Wayne's t-shirts
When the swingset hit his head
The neighbors they adored him
For his humor and his conversation
Look underneath the house there
Find the few living things, rotting fast, in their sleep
Oh, the dead
Twenty-seven people
Even more, they were boys
With their cars, summer jobs
Oh my God
Are you one of them?
He dressed up like a clown for them
With his face paint white and red
And on his best behavior
In a dark room on the bed
He kissed them all
He'd kill ten thousand people
With a sleight of his hand
Running far, running fast to the dead
He took off all their clothes for them
He put a cloth on their lips
Quiet hands, quiet kiss on the mouth
And in my best behavior
I am really just like him
Look beneath the floor boards
For the secrets I have hid

She's forgotten her car keys
And the flowers for her friends
They say she's a harpy
But she is on her meds
'Cause you're holding onto someone who's special
Educating someone who's mental
Giving the fat pigs their facial
We all listen to death metal
She's mates with Roy Fokker
He's completely faced
She's in with the rockers
But it's not to her taste
'Cause you're holding onto someone who's special
Educating someone who's mental
Giving the fat pigs their facial
We all listen to death metal
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
No one knows
Where she goes
No one knows
Where she goes

When you were young, you were the king of carrot flowers
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet
And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for
And this is the room one afternoon, I knew I could love you
And from above you how I sank into your soul
Into that secret place where no one dares to go
And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
Each one a little more than he could dare to try
I love you, Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, I love you, yes I do
I love you, Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, I love you, yes I do
And on the lazy days, the dogs dissolve and drain away
The world it goes and always waits
The day we are awaiting
(Hail Satan!!)
Up and over we go
Through the wave and undertow
I will sit until I learn how to swim
(??) in a garbage bin
Until I find myself again
Again, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Up and over we go
Mouths open wide and spitting snow
I will spit until I learn how to speak
Up through the doorway as the sideboards creak
With them ever proclaiming me
Me, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Up and over we go
The mouths (???) on down and I don't know
I will shout until they know what I mean
I mean the marriage of a dead dog sing
And a synthetic flying machine
Machine, oh!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Apologies to future me's and you's
But I can't help feeling like we're through
The ripping of the tape hurts my ears
In my years, I've never seen anyone quit quite like you do
Twin bruises on my shins
From where I kicked the back of the seat in
They meant what I went through for you
But now they're fading, now they're gone
These teenage hands will never touch yours again
But I remember you
You had a body
You had hands and arms and legs and et cetera
In the morning when I wake up, are you mine?
(Did I fail? Did I fall?)
Take the trash out like a bad dream, are you gone?
(Did I waste my time, waste my time on a broken heart?)
From the old house, the fiercest heart spoke, are you mine?
(Or is this the start of the great silence?)
Christmas tree's dead, you know how time flies, are you gone?
(Is this the start of every day?)
I'm not gonna end up a nervous wreck
Like the people I know who are nervous wrecks
Though I'm not gonna name names, yours was an exception
Did the sound just stop?
At the end of every day
There'll be nothing left to say
There'll be no backstage pass
We gotta go back
We gotta go back
We gotta go back
We gotta go back
We gotta go back (Come on)
We gotta go back
(We've gotta go back)
We gotta go back
(We've gotta go back)
We gotta go back
(We've gotta go back)
We've gotta go back!
We've gotta go ba- (fuck!)
We've gotta go back!
We've gotta go back
We've gotta go back
We've gotta go back
We've gotta go back
We've gotta go back
I still remember the night you cried on my bedsheets
That was the day you died
Remember when we woke up you were more alive than you ever were
And I touched your scruffy chin and I loved it all the more
I wanna spend the nights with you
You facilitate the things that are coming to me
And I hope I do the same for you
The ocean washed over your grave
The ocean washed open your grave
The ocean washed over your grave
The ocean washed open your grave
When it's all said and done
I'll be the one
Holding the black umbrella
And nobody will know
They wouldn't buy it if I told them so
And your story will be sold
On a paperback college textbook
But they'll spell your name wrong
And they won't mention the songs
You used to listen to
God I hated them so much
But it doesn't matter what I thought
I'm less important than what you fought
I stay awake at night
Wondering if you'll come home this time
But it doesn't matter what I thought
I'm less important than what you fought
I stay awake at night
Wondering if you'll come home this time
You're so grand and important and big
I'm just a mere little figment
And I've made peach with that
But the stress is too much
As I pour me another cup
Of existentialist dread
As you go out to war again
It's three transgressions for Jay
(The ocean washed over your grave)
For four, I will not revoke the punishment
(The ocean washed open your grave)
It's three transgressions for Jane
(The ocean washed over your grave)
For four, I will not revoke the punishment
(The ocean washed open your grave)
It's three transgressions for Jay
(The ocean washed over your grave)
For four, I will not revoke the punishment
(The ocean washed open your grave)
It's three transgressions for Jane
(The ocean washed over your grave)
For four, I will not revoke the punishment
(The ocean washed open your grave)
It's three transgressions for Jay
(The ocean washed over your grave)
For four, I will not revoke the punishment
(The ocean washed open your grave)
For three transgressions for Jane
(The ocean washed over your grave)
For four, I will not revoke the punishment
(The ocean washed open your grave)
So descend into cliché
If you've found your holy grail
I could fill back in that grave
I could hammer in that nail
I could give you what you want
I could give you what you deserve
I could sing another song
I could watch that hammer swerve
And when the mirror breaks
I wouldn't miss it for the world
Call it blackstar, call it painstar
The same thing happens when you touch it
Let me tell you, did they tell you what happens when you touch it? Did they tell you?
Let me tell you what happens when you touch it, let me tell you, let me tell you, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me
Let me in
Let me in
So descend into cliché
If the music has forsaken you
Roll the stone over the grave
I never liked that one anyways
Or stare into the face
Of whatever it is that's facing you
And if the mirror breaks
You'll find out what it is that's replacing you
And when the mirror breaks (And your mother would be proud)
I wouldn't miss it for the world (And your father will be so proud)
Call it blackstar, call it painstar (I would be...)
The same thing happens when you touch it (...so proud)
Did they tell you what happens when you touch it? (And when it's all said and done)
Did they tell you what happens when you touch it? (I'll be the one)
Did they tell you...
Did they tell me... (Holding the black umbrella)
What happened to you?
(You know, uhm... I didn't really expect to... go overboard there like I did. I was still kind of on the fence about... you know, uhm, singing that part. That three transgressions bit. Just felt right. I'm sorry for walking out like that. Uhm... shit. I don't know. I mean, this is the spoken word part, right? I'm doing it... Do you believe in god? ...I don't know. Thank you.)
