10. Think About It
1. Die Tryin'
She answered quickly ”hate is blind”
He was about to change his mind
You never know
Just what they’re thinking
Can you remember how it feels?
Do you really think it’s real?
And if so how bad, how often?
Melts in your mind
Like a candle
Not in your hand
Leave a stain
Yeah, never get it
Die trying
Seen it coming from
Seen it coming
Long before the eyes can even focus
On what they’re doing
It’s hard to face another day
When it’s thought of in that way
It boils down to concentration
I know I’ve thought it much too often
Though I know I’m wasting all my time
Don’t want to waste my time
Broke the arm of the angerman
It’s gonna take a deep hole to bury his hate
She answered quickly ”hate is blind”
He was about to change his mind
You never know
Just what they’re thinking
Can you remember how it feels?
Do you really think it’s real?
And if so how bad, how often?
Melts in your mind
Like a candle
Not in your hand
Leave a stain
Yeah, never get it
Die trying
Die trying
2. Close My Eyes and Jump
How long can I stay?
How long have I been?
Put myself into positions
I’ll never understand
It’s such a long way down
How hard can it be?
Figure it out, any idiot can recognize
You put your hand in boiling oil it burns
It’s a completely different thing
Motivation moves the hand
Like a dog that never learns
Like a dog that never learns
Avoiding situation
Like owning a gun
It’s strange to see myself
I’m watching as I
Close my eyes and jump
Now understand
It’s not suicidal
I’ll look into its yellow eyes
I don’t wanna die
This ain’t about that
But I slip into sublime
Persuaded by a voice that sounds like mine
By a voice that sounds like mine
I try to pay attention
To things that I’ve done
It’s strange to see myself
I’m watching as I
Close my eyes and jump
It just seems so hard
To keep it together
Seems so, seems so hard
I can’t show my throat
Or catch myself unaware
I can’t help it
Find myself at
Some high place
Close my eyes and, close my eyes and jump
Close my eyes and, close my eyes and jump
Close my eyes and, close my eyes and jump
3. Burn One
No so fast, it’s only us
Why not lighten up?
It’s just a simple pleasure
Changing hands
Turn my back to the light
Medicine bomber
Rolling up into sight
I can see it now
It’s burning brightly
Pass it on down the pike now baby
You wanna burn one?
I wanna burn one, too
Now, how’s your gardening lately
I wanna burn one, too
Swing around down the ranch around Sunday
You wanna burn one?
I wanna burn one, too
Well it’s my right and my privilege
Do what I wanna do
Hypocrites who try to tell me
My brain is an egg
Their cigarettes, prescriptions
And tequila drivers
Got nothing on me
Got nothing on me
Turn my back to the light
Medicine bomber
Rolling up into sight
I can see it now
It’s burning brightly
Idiots who try to tell me
Tell me what to do
Don’t get me wrong
I won’t hate you if you don’t inhale
But don’t hate me when I do
Don’t hate me when I do
Don’t hate me when I do
Don’t hate me
Don’t hate me
Don’t hate me when I do
Don’t hate me
Don’t hate me when I do
We’re not burning houses
Or stealing cars
Our trip’s not negative at all
Still I’m hunted, put behind bars
We do not answer when you call
Pass it on down the pike now baby
You wanna burn one?
I wanna burn one, too
Now, how’s your gardening lately
I wanna burn one, too
Swing around down the ranch around Sunday
You wanna burn one?
I wanna burn one, too
Well it’s my right and my privilege
Do what I wanna do
Sticky wicky, you’re so blind
You’re so kind you blow my mind
Hey sticky
4. Nonchalance
I wouldn’t mind
Looking back on
Errors of my ways
Mistakes that I have made
I wouldn’t mind
Looking back over my shoulder
Demons chasing
Chase me to my grave
My grave
As long as I keep running
Then I don’t care
But
I won’t die of nonchalance
I won’t die of nonchalance
I won’t die of nonchalance
I won’t die of nonchalance
I won’t die of nonchalance
I thought that someday
I’d have everything I want
I found I might be wrong
A lapse of judgement
With a consequence that kills
Chills me to the bone
To the bone
Freezing cold in the company of life
All alone
It dawned on me too late to make it right
Make it right
I wouldn’t mind
Looking back on
Errors of my ways
Mistakes that I have made
I wouldn’t mind
Looking back over my shoulder
Demons chasing
Chase me to my grave
My grave
As long as I keep running
Then I don’t care
I thought that someday
I’d have everything I want
I found I might be wrong
A lapse of judgement
With a consequence that kills
Chills me to the bone
To the bone
I won’t die of nonchalance
I won’t die of nonchalance
I won’t die of nonchalance
5. Two Things (XYZ)
Your eyes see
Burning through me through
The lids of violet
Your teeth gleam
Spread out on my bed
Blood red
In a glimpse I sensed a solution
Rest your weary head
All I ever wanted
Was to look inside your mind
All I ever wanted
There’s two things they’ll never find
There’s a few things
I don’t think you fully understand
There’s just one thing
Worse than you and that’s me
Loaded deck
Stacked at birth with an extra joker
But the joke’s been said
All I ever wanted
Was to look inside your mind
All I ever wanted
There’s two things they’ll never find
All I ever wanted
Was to keep you for myself
All I ever wanted
You didn’t understand
Nobody ever has
You’re running low, I’m running high
Well, I’m running over you
A-E-I-O-U and sometimes Y
Sometimes two
Sometimes I
Well, I tried so hard to tell you
But I got no reply
Too bad I had to kill you
You know why
You know I’m just so sick
Of all the shit that breaks me down
Mind of my own
Don’t gotta be that way
You thought you’d pack a bag
Leave my ass behind
I’ll dump your big half in the bay
Your eyes see
Burning through me through
The lids of violet
Your teeth gleam
Spread out on my bed
Blood red
In a glimpse I sensed a solution
Rest your weary head
6. Hit and Dragged
Hit – time and time again I’m knocked down
Dragged – like garbage down my street
Burned – caught smiling when the jokes were all on me
Dumb – well I will tell you what I think
What I think
When I think of times
And I’m starting to change my mind
It hits me
Love – it’s an exaggerated notion
Luck is where it’s really at these days
Money – it flows from me like blood from open wounds
My face – bones showing through my cheeks
I’m a social crime
Just waiting to happen
An opportunity few can pass on
I don’t know why
But I can’t see why not
I’m on the pavement
Like in a movie
Hit and dragged, what’s the ponit of getting to my feet
Lick the pavement – gutter baby
Down down down
Why get back up again ?
Get back! (Loretta)
Stepped in a hole, my whole life deep
Stepped in a hole, my whole life deep
Taped to my back says “kick me please”
Kick me please
Kick me
I’m on the pavement
Like in a movie
Hit and dragged, what’s the ponit of getting to my feet
Lick the pavement – gutter baby
Down down down
Why get back up again ?
7. Rotator
Bough a ticket on the underside
Somebody told me
About this one guy one time
That got screwed right into the ground
But he was lazy, he did not hide
Rotator knows where you are
‘Cause if it ain’t now
You know you can count on it coming around
If you wanna ride the wheel
You gotta pay for the gas – coming around
Even it up
Got you coming around
Upside down
Through the corner of my eye
See ya later
Look quickly to my right -feel the stare
Rotator
Rotator – got you coming down
Feel the air behind me
Feel it walk right down my spine
A repeat, familiar rhyme
Got you coming down
It’s a cat’s game jack-off slight
It’s been decided before
On the underside, rotator
Sometimes you remember, sometimes you don’t
On the underside of midnight
Rotator
Rotator – got you coming down
Feel the air behind me
Feel it walk right down my spine
A repeat, familiar rhyme
Got you coming down
It’s a cat’s game jack-off slight
It’s been decided before
On the underside, rotator
8. Gone Bad
It takes so long to stack up to the sky
Day by day you don’t even notice
But then one night you come back home to find
Find it toppled and scattered
Didn’t always seem this way
It’s hard to put my finger on
Wasn’t always self-estranged
I should’ve know it all along
(I should’ve know it all along)
I should’ve known it
But I allowed it from my mind
Without resolution
(I could’ve been there holding on)
I turned around and it was gone
(I turned around and it was gone)
Gone, gone bad
I couldn’t see past what I wanted most to see
I didn’t have the time for
I turned around and it was gone
Gone, gone bad
Didn’t always feel this way
Contempt behind a smile
Couldn’t find the words to say
I sould’ve known it all along
9. Hell No Fuck Yes
Blue man, come down on me every night
I asked if he didn’t think I had the right to know
He said “hell no”
Just inches short of the miracle mile
My soul
I roll five hundred, now I’m gone
It’s true, I saw it on a TV show
They all nodded yes
But what they meant was no
It’s just so hard to relate to
Information raw from the nice crew
They all nodded yes
But what they meant was no
Get what you want – ten minutes
Any longer you really don’t need it
They all nodded yes
But what they meant was no
They meant no
I tried to force, it wouldn’t fit
Use what I want, let the rest just sit
Slam down the phone, how’dya likakick?
10. Think About It
Why can’t you just shut upone time long enough to
Think about it – no shit
Don’t force it if it don’t fit
Warring tribes, they kill and die everyday
For their gods are their pick-up tricks
They stomped that make-up wearing little fuck
If you’re not like me and my friends you can go to hell
Think about it
What was that you said?
Think about it
Why don’t you use your head?
Think about it
Unless you’re scared
Of having nothing better left to do
You too – try and justify your views
They hated him because he was black
So he hated them back
Hold signs – get arrested
She tried to pass but they protested
Gotta keep hating, no time to doubt it
Think about it
What was that you said?
Think about it
Why don’t you use your head?
Think about it
Unless you’re scared
Of having nothing better left to do
He was on the wrong side of the street
In a White Sox jacket
They stole his kicks right off his feet
After they stabbed him
Stop talking, stop talking long enough
To listen to someone else
You’ve got your mind made up
But you’re thinking with your heart and not your head
Just like your parents do
You’ve got their prejudice and their narrow views
Seasoned and perfected you have
Only to accept it, why should you concieve
Of something new
(on and on) That’s just how it is
(on and on) You can’t change some people’s mind
(on and on) If they don’t work begin again
Within, gotta turn the outside in
Look behind your tiny little world of one
They skinned her dog – as a statement
They ran amok and became impatient
At the time they didn’t fully realize
Think about it
What was that you said?
Think about it
Why don’t you use your head?
Think about it
Unless you’re scared
Of having nothing better left to do
Think about it
You must be afraid
Think about it
To be stuck with all that hate
Think about it
Just relax, you might just forget where it came from anyway
