you haven't met her
you might not know her
you best forget her
before you love her
you haven't met her
you might not know her
you best forget her
before you love her
and now you're holding hands
and now you're treading water
you haven't met her
you might not know her
you best forget her
before you love her
you haven't met her
you might not know her
you best forget her
before you kill her
and now you're holding hands
and now you're treading water

Counter Qulture (demo)

you've got me under cover
you've got the upper hand
I'm fit to pick my poison
bring down your steel legged plan
a scanner darkly
consumed
hesitate if you could even tell the truth
scramble your best three piece suit
and glow your fucking head off
I can't relate
you're an opposite poacher
you can't be tamed
you're a part of the counter culture
I can't relate
you're an opposite poacher
and I can't be maimed
on the part of the counter culture
the enemy of my state
sends friend requests on one hand
leaves its mark on the other
legal tenderizer
chains and bones
make up freaks
sideshows impress the lot
you give an inch
they glow a mile
to fuck your head up
I can't relate
you're an opposite poacher
you can't be tamed
you're a part of the counter culture
I can't relate
you're an opposite kind of poacher
and I can't be maimed
I'm escaping from the circling vultures
run
death is near
run run run
death is near

if you want to make dollars
then you can't have sense
smell the flowers
insurrect and re-elect at the same time mike pence
it doesn't, like I said, make sense
if you want world peace
then you need to fund war
against a house sized enemy
with a friend sized back door
with laboratory practices equal
to a torn screened in porch
genetically selected
modified and contrived to kill
its a shot in the dark
its a shock to the heart
its a shot in the vein
count all the lucky stars that remain
its a shot in the dark
its a shock to the heart
its a shot in the vein
too many scars have been permanently made
as a real young lad
I was sat down in front of a television screen
and told to get mad
feeling bad as I had my gelatin
watching people scream as the air was thinned
and they became skeletons
the stairway to heaven should've had a slide
then those people wouldn't have died frowning
(do you see how stupid that sounds?)
take up thy stethoscope
and walk the roads lined with lead
data centers burning like the grain for the bread
get your personal chefs cricket sandwiches
at the wealthiest's bed and breakfasts
when they say a safe space
for a face
is six feet away
I'd take the recommendation made seriously
just out of arms reach
its where your voice box needs to be
on the corner of happy and healthy

I don't know why I mistreated you the way i did
Always been one to be abused, it's a wonder you didn't die
I hit you when you screamed, and all you did was hid
And you left, now you've gone; all I say is, "my; I'm still crazy"
You'd be cute and tell a joke, together starry-eyed, we'd soak
Things got worse and worse I guess, so you'd tell me, I'd digress
How I'd laugh at you and scoff, you'd just sit there, cry and cough
Then you left, you're all gone; all I say is, "my; I'm still crazy"
But what if you die alone, all by your...self
What if you die with no one by your...side
Know I'm gonna die alone, all by my...self
Who else are you gonna find, I'm not kind, but what a mind
People usually don't change, I'll never rearrange
You know you shouldn't come on back, common sense you seem to lack
I'm a mess, you're still gone; all I say is, "my..."
Now wait just a god damn minute, you're a sentimental mess!
If you make me wait and wait, I won't miss you less and less
Latitude can only grade forward thinking attitude
You've come home, now you're back; and of course you say, "my; you're still crazy"
But what if you die alone, all by your...self
What if you die with no one by your...side
Know I'm gonna die alone, all by my...self

cell phone recording take 2
I used to know when you were there
I used to know I didn't care
I used to know I was alone
but I forget
I used to know what I called home
I used to know where I went wrong
I used to know all the lines
I forget
but what I did wrong was care
and all I did wrong was care
and all I did wrong was care
and all I did wrong was care
I used to know when you were there
I used to know I didn't care
I used to know I was alone
but I forget
I used to know what I called home
I used to know what I got wrong
I used to know another line
but I forget
and where I went wrong was care
and what I did wrong was care
and all I did wrong was care
all I did wrong was care

I used to know what I got wrong
I used to know another line
but I forget
and where I went wrong was care
and what I did wrong was care
and all I did wrong was care
all I did wrong was care
