A family with six kids
Squeezed into the world's tiniest house
They had a dog it starved to death
They couldn't afford to feed it
The second youngest girl made a name for herself
Developed a comparatively substantial amount of wealth
The rest remained in poverty engaged in recurring battles with
Problematic drug use and disturbing thought patterns
But I try to avoid thinkin' about those type of things
But I can't help but think about those types of things
A man in his mid-30's was found dead the other day
Not long after he was heard making the claim
That he'd had a stroke of insight and there was only one way
That he would ever be leaving this cunt of a place
His daughter was unborn at the time
But she continues to ask
What did daddy's voice sound like and
Why won't you tell me how he died?
But I try to avoid thinkin' about those type of things
But I can't help but think about those types of things

Chaos

I used to be the change I wanted to see
Now I sit back and watch the chaos unfold around me
I'm questioning if it's wisdom emerging
Or if it is a state of helplessness that I've been learning
Am I losing my shit or is this the path to enlightenment
I have learned to much to live in blissful ignorance
I have not learnt enough to change anything
I used to be the change I wanted to see
Dreamed myself a character a purpose naively
Once I saw the world's size I changed everything I once believed
Now I sit back and watch to preserve my sanity
Am I losing my shit or is this the path to enlightenment
I have learned to much to live in blissful ignorance
I have not learnt enough to change anything
Questioning everything that I believe
Witnessing the unstable world ending

Earthing Song

If we could maybe we would earth ourselves out
There is too much electricity that rushes through us
We have been bound by the walls they built around our feet
And the pressure it builds upon our brains
Causing such a strain they will label us insane
I wish we hadda studied how to survive when everything else dies
'Cause now we're on our own and we don't know anything
So I am gonna wait until I get older
To travel the world and learn some things
To put the skills I've been acquiring into something that is interesting
To understand the universe and how it is that things must work
So I can decrease all the doubts I ever had
I am gonna wait until I get older, I am gonna wait until I get older
I am gonna wait until I get older and probably die before I do anything
The whites of my eyes have turned yellow
My skin has melted to its bones
From standing still for so long
