mixtape iv - angry ink in mouth corners

hey
been trying to meet you
must be a devil between us
or whores at the door
whore in my bed
but hey
where
have you
been
if you go
i will surely die
we're chained

-

this is the story of victoria lee
she started off on percodan
and ended up with me
she lived in berkeley
until the earthquake shook her loose
she lives in texas now
where nothing ever moves
you'd like to think they're your friends
but they're not your friends
and in the end a friend's the one you'll never know
oh, don't you know?
you'd like to think you're groovy, it's your movie
you see through me, but it's true
and in the end you'll know
victoria, don't go, victoria, victoria, don't go


-

it's just the world that's all it is
toppling through outer space
on a trip it's just the world
some kind of topical fish in a tropical storm.
we dig a blade in the rib cage of an ice age
and we twist until it’s warm.
you know it’s just the world (it was only rome)
trying to be something with an original spin.
an unoriginal sin (i’ve sinned before),
just with a bottle of gin and the girl next door.

-

don't ever give me your back again
you were brought up far too well
we both knew from the start
put pen to paper and let them know
it was all just smoke and mirrors
i've seen to the end
and they believed it with all their hearts
we'd see them stumbling by
yes together we brought them
down so it adds up for me
i sat beneath it with no whistle to blow
i sat beneath it with no whistle to blow
all the while who knew
you would see such despair
oh let me share the saintly fun
counting every accident one by one
we'll see the children around the pyre
and hold their little hands as these all sail away

-

stole a page from your book
and a line from your page
and flew into a lesbian rage
cuz with eyes on my own rotten luck
another nude descends the staircase to get fucked
a city scene
darkness falls
now skate hard down the gallery walls
there's a plague on
there's a rat-tailed ensemble
burying all of our heads in the sand

-

i know that i said i'd be gone by now
i'd be further down the road
but i lagged behind
belly up, you said, but i wanted you by my side
so this is why i'm waiting
this is why i haven't come undone
this is what i keep saying to keep my shoulders strong

-

you've got such ordinary ways
of wasting your life
don't try to grieve for yesterday
tears won't save you now

-

don't touch me
if you're thinking of somebody else
i'm a fool for a man who is not fixated on himself
but not if he's fixated on somebody else
don't touch me
unless you're gonna say my name
while we do it
you know, i wanna do it
and you don't know
what you put me through
falling all over myself
in love with you
and you didn't deserve it

-

tall woman, pull the pylons down
and wrap them around the necks
of all the feckless men that queue to be the next
steepled
fingers, ring la la la la la la la leaders
queue jumpers
rock fist paper scissors, la la la la la la la lingered fluffers
be quiet
in your hoof lies the heartland
where we tent for our treasure, pleasure, leisure

-

got me a movie
i want you to know
slicing up eyeballs
i want you to know
girlie so groovy
i want you to know
don't know about you
but i am un chien andalusia
wanna grow
up to be
be a debaser, debaser

-

well my father put a shame on me
said he wouldn't put his name on me
said he wouldn't be the first in his family
whose son cried when he was born
well he died the day i got a gun
said that he was proud that i's his son
that was right there in his plan
i'd grow up and be a man
and there was a tear, i saw it in his eye
he said he couldn't think of a better way to die
said boy if you wanna live
you better die like a brave man
i don't wanna die in middle of the night i want a
brave man's death

-

how can things be different
now that everything has changed?
watching her live her life
surely helped him turn the page
you deserve a big house,
and your heart deserves a cage
dying of old age,
feeding time is needing,
he won't be touched or seen
and lust has made him say some things
that he just didn't mean it
sleeping makes him wonder
it must be for the weak
they don't know nothing

-

distant and vague
every time i try to talk to you
she dreams of dreams and dreams
and one day will be queen
she does not know how much I mean
she must remain a child
she thinks she is so wild
she cannot find her style
and yet, she moves
distant and vague

-

if the walls were too thin
you would break in
if the walls were too thin
you would break right in
out in the thunder
opens my eyes wide
there is something in my mind
keeps me up at night
ooh when the window
lets in hot whips of light
before i feel it's time
to control my mind

-

i wouldn't find my place with this poor disguise
why can't i face myself without these lies?
i couldn't find my path without knowing it
i've been around every turn
i know what's left is right
i'll never let it die
i tried, i dared to free my mind
and all the same changes as before
don't seem to change a thing at all
i'm never gonna try
i know that i won't go back
it started with a smile, i know
but it won't come back
