Think! 03:33
You're standing and I'm swinging I think You're gorgeous but It's not important, no It's not important what I think You bought another drink You're working and I'm working on it Whatever that means Make a fortune, now Break the porcelain down It's not important what I think Cause I'm taking a back seat It's not important, I don't think I'm taking a back seat It's not important what I think Repurposed but Still orbits I wonder what you'd think Forget that I mentioned it It's not important, I don't think Cause I'm taking a back seat It's not important what I think I'm taking a back seat It's not important, I don't think

I burnt the coffee Waiting for the news to come up fake I've been flipping every board Just to try and find the game I'm witness to a marvel I'm witness to a lie I'm running out of patience And taking it in stride I've been flipping through the pages Looking for the big reveal I am swimming in a fallacy To suffocate what's real I'm witnessing a marvel I wish it was a lie I'm running out of patience Running out of time Running out of patience, eh? Running out of time Now they are counting up the ballots They're running all the data There are pundits and opinions There is love and there is hatred I'm witness to a marvel I wish it was a lie Running out of patience Running out of time Running out of patience, eh? Running out of time Running out of patience, eh? Running out of time Well I burnt the coffee Waiting for the news to come up fake I've been flipping every board Just to try and find the game I'm witnessing a marvel I'm witnessing a lie I'm running out of patience Running out of time

His guitar is only this big And a couple things are missing Yet, you're listening And his guitar is only this big Man, her voice is only once inch And everyone is measuring Everyone and everything Everyone's a measurement But I have a radio And it's unmistakeable Eye of a radio Eye of a radio Some people are turning out Some people are turning in And some of the bleeding hearts They're under arrest again Just look at the President Everyone's a measurement Everyone and everything Everyone's a measurement But I have a radio And it's unmistakeable Eye of a radio Eye of a radio Eye of a radio And it's unmistakable Eye of a radio Eye of a radio Eye of a radio And it's insatiable I have a radio I have a radio Eye of a radio And it's unmistakable Eye of a radio Eye of a radio Eye of a radio And it's insatiable I have a radio I have a radio

Caught wearing sunglasses indoors with the lights off Man, I don’t wanna see a damn thing Just leave the smokes on the counter By that busted up router Cause I wanna breathe in more nicotine I’ll leak my head in the pool of my arms On a pillow made of Aspirin and panache While lying warm by the heat of a fire Fueled by all my missing cash Yeah I’m leaning towards 86'ing my morals Cause I don’t smile with all of my teeth I think it’s boring not to think in the plural I think it's boring, I think that it's easy Now let’s get down to what most people call business And take a good hard look at the world It’s revolutionary to shop for forgiveness With every penny that the boys went and stole from the girls Now give it up cause you know that concession Is what’s missing from a compromise It’s a line up the nostril St Laurent, the Apostle Making love to the death of July Yeah

Weapon 04:37
Man, the whole block smelled like electrical fire There were ConEd trucks and a spindle of wire Then the lights flickered off, all the kids got excited Then a string quartet of police sirens So I looked for my smokes & saw the pack on the ground My last 27, she was bleeding out So I lifted up a Spirit and pretended to like it Simple little pistol, just a bullet we’re firing 1 2 3 4 There was close to an eighth, a Pax vaporizer A c’est les bon temps plastic novelty lighter She said “I’m not armed officer, I can’t find my license I swear on your god. I swear on my life, man.” I can’t breathe 1 I can’t, please 2 I can’t breathe 3 I can’t, please 4 I can’t breathe 5 I can’t, please 6 I can’t breathe 7 I can’t, please 8 I can’t breathe 9 I can't, please 10 I can’t breathe 11 Hold me like a weapon I don’t think I can stand up Hold me like a weapon I don't think I can stand up Hold me like a weapon Baby, that goes without question Hold me like a weapon Baby, that goes without question

Big gulp of primordial soup Hey, I flirt with dysmorphia, too And you know that I’m here for you That’s a hard truth Big dose of some extract at 2 I’m going through an episode, tru GAD and a case of the Blues I just wanted to talk to you But the hard truth Is we got loose That’s the hard truth Great view of the trashcan King Knee-Jerk Reaction Bet you’re learning your lesson You will be better Ask your permission That’s the hard truth In case you needed more proof That’s the hard truth Cause the hard truth Is we got loose That’s the hard truth Big hill so lose the bravado Just skip to tomorrow Man, I hope that you follow Get the canvas back to your Kahlo That’s the hard truth In case you needed more proof That’s the hard truth Cause the hard truth Is we got loose That’s the hard truth

You’re so young and white I bet you think you’re in love. Well, alright! Bet you feel sometimes you’re a bit uptight But it helps you sleep and you kinda like it Bet, you’re on Cause everything you’re sold Its all you’ve got And everything feels old And everything you’re told Is always false And everything feels old Bet you lost your religion. Oh my! No idea where it goes, but it goes all the time But you feel what you feel and it feels alright Ain’t it nice to feel something, am I right? Bet, you’re on Cause everything you’re sold Is all you’ve got And everything feels old And everything you’re told Is always false And everything feels old Yeah, bet. You're on Cause everything you stole Is all you’ve got And everything feels old Now every place we go There’s always cops And everything feels old

I wanna get rained on I wanna get drenched In the weight of the heavens Soak me to death I want to believe In everything that I can But I cannot believe That I'm here again I can't take a hint I can't take a hint I'm reading my heart rate I'm reading for truth I'm only as dead As the free print will prove I'm glad that it hurts I'm glad that it stings So I know that it's real (At) least that's what I think I can't take a hint I can't take a hint I can't take a hint I can't take a hint The whole of our bodies The whole of our faith Are just matter and light And we will be replaced The whole of our bodies The whole of our faith Are just matter and light And we will be replaced We will be replaced
