trigger 06:08
something sitting in my car seat waiting for the verdict wonder when i gotta go home one, two, zero down the freeway miles to empty do I want to go home? I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know is it consequential? I don’t think so everything’s the same I watch it all the time, on the tv in my bedroom something brings me ever closer to pulling the trigger oh I don’t know why our fun, never ever your fun or you’re on your lonesome for the rest of life oh i was feeling sorry for myself i said I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know Is it consequential? I don’t think so Everything’s the same I watch it all the time, On the tv in my bedroom oh, I took her down to the parking lot she said I wonder if you think a lot she said I wonder if you think a lot, I said no I walked right back to the place I started Nobody wanted to be around Nobody wanted to be around anymore something brings me ever closer to pulling the trigger oh I don’t know why

tumbleweeds weaving through the creases in his hand vinegar dripping from his eyes in waves I don’t think that anything would make the boy behave I didn’t think that anything would put him in his place cigarette smoke drifting through the currents in the air sand covers every inch of skin he could find runs a nervous hand back through the tangles in his hair he couldn’t tell the truth but he can’t bring himself to lie

zen 02:08
so tell me again how you think I deserve the world, when everyone else is gone? you think I deserve a girl who'd never ever do me wrong? how everyone loves these songs I'm way too hard on myself and you think that I should stop do you really think that's true do you really, really think that? cause I went for a walk tonight and the street said no way and the cigarette burned me I'm not a man like that I'm not a man like that I'm not a man like that I'm not a man like that I wish that I was but it's never enough so maybe I'm zen am I really at peace with myself, or I really really need some help? I really wanna fall apart, and never get back again just lying on the floor in a room full of better men with a bouncer at the door and a rifle in his hand and part of me thinks that's true but part of me thinks it's not everyone tries so hard and I don't do enough I'm not a man like that I'm not a man like that I'm not a man like that I'm not a man like that I wish that I was but it's never enough I wish that I was but it's never enough, it's never enough

come down to the basement now ah, everybody’s waiting for you hear an absolutely ear-piercing collection of sounds that totally shatter the room all the string lights and Monday nights spent carefully crafting a tune the poster’s in the parking garage next up we’re making the nightly news this girl stands at the side of the room just awkwardly adjusting her bra she’ll mouth the words but cannot muster quite enough courage to sing them along and everybody surrounding has eyes for only themselves What is this beautiful world it’s a brand new, very fresh hell

ripple 03:32
in the lake behind where I live there’s a big white swan he flaps his wings with no concern for the waves he makes for the things he breaks for the ripple I wanna live like that when he moves around the water lets him but when he opens his mouth he has no songs to sing and when he flaps his wings the air bends for him but when he tries to sing there’s nothing but boring I don’t really know what I want I don’t really know what I want I don’t really know what I want I don’t really know what I want
