The Future Is Now!

I thought by now that we would have jet packs
Instead we’re stuck with crippling debt and heart attacks
The future was supposed to hold great things
But we’re too busy arguing
Forget your flying cars
It’s scary how
That we’re racing backwards
The future’s now
I thought by now that we could teleport
But this world is a day late and a dollar short
I thought that we would have achieved world peace
But we’re still fighting endlessly
And the maniac that hosted WrestleMania IV
Is gonna host the next world war

Clockwork
02:38

You break my heart with precision timing
When I start with my incessant whining
You shut me down when I come on to you
You're wound up, it's what you're made to do
And I know that you're feeling it too
But you don't know if it's something that you wanna do
'Cause you've been hurt before
And you're feeling blue
Clockmaker, heartbreaker
You shoot me down every hour on the hour, come on
Like clockwork, you break my heart
You're the timekeeper, I'm a light sleeper
I dream about you every minute of the day so come on
Like clockwork, I fall apart
I hear you ticking and it's got me down too
Sweating bullets every time I'm around you
Try to keep cool but I'm just not able
You strike 12 and I become unstable

I'm Okay, I Guess
02:07

The past few years have been pretty rough
I spend my days trying to act tough
And hope that this feeling goes away
I really can't stand the weekends
Alone and stuck inside my head
But I guess I'm doing okay
Alright, I'm never okay
I've been sleepwalking through life
And when I look into your eyes
It makes me never want to close mine again
I never thought I’d be this way
Shutting down and pushing away
This person that you thought you knew
I hate that I have failed you
I think, I wish, I hope, I pray
That I'll be alright, that I'll be okay
But nothing can seem to brighten my day
Because of my mind, because of the way
I hide from things I don’t want to face
And now I’m stuck just running in place
And life it seems to find a way
Of fucking with our plans
And I just want this feeling to fucking go away

Well yes I was born a man
And yes I was born white
And I’m so fucking privileged
That I have a perfect life
Like all my dead end jobs
Stocking shelves and mopping floors
And how on the good days
I get to live indoors
And yes cops don’t fuck with me
And I can hail a cab
But I’m so sick and tired
Of that being all I have
Because I can’t afford a doctor
And I can’t get social aid
And my dreams don’t fucking matter
Cause my dreams don’t get me paid
And you can roll your eyes
While I bitch and moan and vent
But this whiney, poor-ass white boy
He can barely pay his rent
And I’m running out of options
And I don’t know what to do
And I know that life is a game of,
“Well I hurt more than you!”
So keep crowning your pain
And I guess that I’ll crown mine
And we all can hate each other
Till the end of fucking time
Belittling each other
Belittling our hurt
And fueling hate and distance
That just makes this so much worse
When will our hearts evolve?
It’s been like this from the start
And we’re doomed to it forever
While we’re all just falling apart
All in all is all we are
We’re all just falling apart
All in all is all we are
We’re all just falling apart

Moonrise Kingdom Come

Moonrise kingdom come
Their will, it won’t be done
Meet me in the fields
It’s time to feel for real
She’s the one for a boy who’s come undone
When there’s nowhere left to run
You mean everything to me
Everything to me
The dummy’s in the bed
Blue eyes seeing red
Pastels fade with youth
Bruises on the truth
He’s the one for a girl who’s come undone
When there’s nowhere left to run
You mean everything to me
Everything to me

New day, same fucking problems
All dressed in sweatpants
They're too lazy to change out of
Witch piss, they're drunk again
Slurring a sadness
That hangs over all of us in the end
Pointless, helpless, damming nights
The cardboard decline of my life
I hear the sidewalks calling
Like old friends they know my name
There’s no place like homeless
For misfit hearts that don’t beat the same
I hear the concrete calling
Like a moth drawn to the flame
There’s no place like homeless
Misfit hearts don’t beat the same
New day, new fucking problems
Stab you in the back with
Old flaws that you can’t grow out of
Fresh wounds, you’re fucked again
Lying in a puddle
Of your own blood and dereliction
Scratching, clawing for dear life
The futile struggle to survive
