If you leave me I will not follow For I have made this This place my home And as you journey Through the plague year You're gonna wander This road alone No more sticks And no more stones And you will wander

He made a sacrifice He cut us with a knife He prayed unto the god of light and bleach Reality will crack He'll have a heart attack The day he finally summons light and bleach So if you want me Then you got me Wait long enough You'll meet me You're nothing to the god of light and bleach Don't know why you resist Surrender to his kiss Surrender to the god of light and bleach We'll all begin to sing We'll dance before the king The day we all accept his light and bleach I know that You're nervous But there's no need to be nervous You're gonna meet the god of light and bleach There's something broken that's inside you There's something missing they forgot to Make sure that You learned along the way I know nobody ever loved you I know nobody's gonna miss you it wasn't much of a transition You weren't good at being human I wear no mask I know we gotta die But we ain't gonna die If we accept the word of light and bleach I'm never gonna die

I fell into a hole the day before I came into my own I didn't have a choice I wasn't driving I didn't have control I'm spending all my time in conversation with the devil in my mind I squirrel it away Say to your face that I'm doing just fine There are days Most every day now I want to spend it fast asleep And there are days Most every day now I don't know what I'm doing awake I fell into a hole Give to me straight I'll give it to you straight And if you give it to me straight I'll give it to you There are days Most every day now I want to spend it running around I've always been an indoor kid but now I wanna go and paint the town I fell into a hole

Babe I think I lost the map I think I lost the point of it The point of it But I Forgotten what to say Oh, it's all right I'm not embarrassed Not in pain I have felt like this a million times before Are we even getting high any more I thought I felt something there But I'm not sure Babe I know you need a friend I know you need someone on which you have to depend But I I don't think I'm your guy Don't ask me to explain I will not justify it You can do What you please But we ain't gonna talk about JUDY Sit down roll Up your sleeve But we ain't gonna talk about Another wreck upon the Jersey shore Cross the wires and crossing swords Did not believe I'd be this goddamn bored A cowboy loser with his cowboy chords They buried me at the outside of town Across the road is where my body's found I'm not the kinda guy you want around A cowboy loser when the chips are down

Quarantine 03:07
I cannot believe In quarantine That you are here With me Barricade the house And we'll work it out Cause I like you here With me Keep the doors and windows shut I think they're trying to get in But we won't let them in Can't believe my luck We're sitting ducks But you're sitting here with me We'll never leave We'll ride out the weeks Put the calendar aside It doesn't matter anymore

When the flavor's left the food Won't I know just what to do It seems my diet came clear The day that flavor disappeared And don't I know just to do Now that the flavor's left the food When the flavor's left the food And we're no longer in our youth And since the day my greatest fear Came true and you're no longer near And I'm no longer in my youth And all the flavor's left the food This is the part where you all say that I can't be running off But now the flavor's left the food And we're just chewing bitter roots And you just stand there unashamed And you're too dumb to be afraid Well don't I know just what to do Now that the flavor's left the food

That's classic Roger Born to strike it rich That's classic Roger The son of a bitch Wherever he went Well he left chaos in his wake Wherever he went He left a trail of broken hearts Wherever he went He left a pile of upturned skirts Wherever he went He left a smudge upon your soul Have mercy on us We children of Eve They're fucking us up More than you believe But that is classic Roger That's classic Roger The lie you won't correct That's classic Roger Sprawled across your desk Wherever he went He left a stack of unpaid bills Wherever he went He left some funny kind of stain Wherever he went He left a silver trail of jizz Wherever he went He left part of himself behind Someone should Have bought his Mama a Coat hanger

The Gift 02:58
I used to get it But I ain't got it No i ain't got it no more I used to get up But now I'm fed up I've done it all before Every day's a gift It's a gift that I give myself Up and at 'em No thank you madam I'd rather stay in bed You know what's out there And I know what's out there I'd rather hide instead Every day's a gift It's a gift that I give myself So let's return the gift Cause it's rotting here on the shelf Now it's time to fight But I am busy fighting shit inside my head Another night Cause I am tired And this is better left unsaid

There's rednecks at the gate There's brownshirts in the street My mom is getting gassed My dad is getting beat I'll never go outside I'll never leave the house Got everything I need Just got to hunker down So keep on moving to the left Keep on hiding in the house Keep on keeping them safe And keep on keeping it fed Keep on raising your hand\ And keep on trying to care Keep on keeping it sane And keep on grasping at straws What if I got the cancer What if I had a heart attack What if I had a stroke And what if my mind was never coming back Tell me babe, how could I love you then? We will make it through alive None of us are gonna die WE. WILL. MAKE. IT. THROUGH. ALIVE. NONE. OF. US. ARE. GONNA. DIE. Keep on saying my prayers And keep on calling my folks And keep on telling everyone I love them like crazy What if an active shooter Went to the store same days as me What if I got arrested What if they through away the key What'll they do if they tear us away What if I caught the COVID What if my blood it turned to gel What if I crashed the car And what if I died and went to hell What'll I do if I never see you again? Bad things that could happen.

And we called it a comeback Said it was worth a try And we said we were sorry most of the time And you said that you were happy Was it all a lie And you said I was lucky And I said you were kind So I blew all my wad on the lottery So we parted as friends Then I went back to the city But the streets were deserted And everyone was dead So I broke into my old apartment Sat in my right place once again Did you know It's going on A year since I left? I'm telling you babe I am trying as hard as i can Did you know I'm sitting here Till I can come back I promise you babe I am trying as hard as i can I am not looking for sympathy Just wanted to share my routine Breakfast in Skyrim Tiger King at three I'm feeling lonely and I I know you miss me I turns out there's such thing as Too much videogames and weed Well I need an escape I need an excuse I need some kind of project I need someone I can cling to I'll sit here and pray for a mulligan I'll sit here I'll sit here I'll sit here I'll sit here See you again someday When they've found a vaccine And I know that you're safe And I know that you're warm And I know you're alive And I know that you're missing me
