Conquer

I met you
younger than I knew
you were too
figuring the who of us
world so new
they could try but they could never get through
chosen two
pretend it’s just the few of us
I don’t miss you
I never do
I don’t miss you
I never do
undid, undo
did you think that time would dare intrude
grown, outgrew
and it unstuck the glue of us
I wanna say fuck you
I really do
I wanna say fuck you
I really do
thought I’d conquer the world and
thought I’d run at the world and
thought I’d conquer the world and
thought I’d run at the world and
thought I’d conquer the world and
wanna run from the world and
thought I’d conquer the world and
wanna run from the world and
I wanna say fuck you
I really do
I wanna say fuck you
I really do

Beg your pardon
please forgive me
I’ve no standing here
you’re the harmed one
I’m the harmer
yes you’re always right
hush now you’re always right
You love the tension
oh you thrive
you love the tension
oh you thrive
They all love you
every last one
don’t you worry now
please despise me
who could blame you
child you’re always right
hush now you’re safely right
You love the tension
oh you thrive
you love the tension
oh you thrive
All your dark fare
putrid and spoiling
thick cut scorn it curdled you inside
curdled your insides
I always thought that
you’d have it coming
now I think it’s preserved you for life
cured you for all time
I’m not blind, my eyes are just lazy
I’m not blind, my eyes are just lazy
I’m not blind, my eyes are just lazy
I’m not blind, my eyes are just lazy
You love the tension
oh you thrive
You love the tension
oh you thrive
All your dark fare
putrid and spoiling
thick cut scorn it curdled you inside
curdled your insides
I always thought that
you’d have it coming
now I think it’s preserved you for life
cured you for all time

Taught To Be
03:17
|

Raised to be still
raised to be quiet
raised to be still
not make a noise
raised to be still
raised to be quiet
raised to be still
not make a noise
Be still as air
perfect the lesson
be pure as air
review it well and
be dumb as air
study the lesson
sip your life
be still as air
Taught to be still
taught to be quiet
taught to be still
not make a noise
taught to be still
taught to be quiet
taught to be still
not make a noise
Be bland like air
master the lesson
benign as air
review it well and
be dull as air
study the lesson
sip your life
be bland like air
Learn to swallow your voice
and learn to feast upon whispers
learn to bicker with silence
Learn
Learn to make room for betters
learn to thank for your measure
learn to hide your displeasure
Learn
And it was fucking good
and it was fucking good
and it is fucking good
and I am fucking good
Oh fuck off with caution
oh fuck your sage counsel
I’m stuffing the air with noise
I’ll trouble my betters
I’ll lay claim to my measure
you might know my displeasure
Learn
Shatter the air
master the masters
suck in the air
chew up the masters
gulp in the air
spit out the lessons
consume with greed
unteach unlearn

Easier
03:44
|
|||
When you were younger
you found delight
in stealing thunder
in being right
and now you’re grown up
less present tense
but measured words they
can’t shake the sense
Of feeling lost, of feeling loss
Of feeling lost, of feeling loss
Scream as you go
It makes it easier
Scream as you go
It makes it easier
You’ve made these choices
you weren’t forced
it’s what you wanted
you’ve won the course
followed instructions
made few mistakes
but now you've found oh
you miss the quakes
Of what you lost, of what you lost
Of what you lost, of what you lost
Scream as you go
It makes it easier
Scream as you go
It makes it easier
You’re craving edge-living
knuckles white
again, again
You want trouble giving,
fearsome fight
again, again
You want to hurt some feelings
bash some heads
Again, again
You want them on the floor bleeding
left for dead
again, again
Scream as you go, it makes it easier
Scream as you go, it makes it easier
Scream as you go, it makes it easier
Scream as you go, it makes it easier

Feeling
03:38
|

I thought it wise to stop from feeling
I trained my mind to stop from feeling
I cut all ties to stop from feeling
Thought it was wise to stop from feeling
Live a little more, ooh
Live a little live a little more, ooh
Live a little live a little more, ooh
Live a little live a little more, ooh
Live a little live a little more, ooh
Live a little live a little more, ooh
Live a little live a little more, ooh

Live a little live a little more, ooh
Live a little live a little more, ooh
Live a little live a little more, ooh
Live a little live a little more, ooh
Live a little live a little more, ooh

I’m growing creased and wonder
Are there lives to come
Have I had my days of thunder
Is there more to come
Live a little more, ooh (am I living more)
Live a little live a little more, ooh (am I living more)
Live a little live a little more, ooh (am I living more)
Live a little live a little more, ooh (am I living more)

Found Out
02:36
|

So you found out
though you thought you were bolder
you were soft you were meek
took a second to fold you
and though you made out
you’d resist what they told you
you were pliant and weak
took a second to fold you
Took a second to fold you
Took a second to fold you
So you found out
as you got a bit older
you were common and beige
and though you thought you’d be bolder
and though you’d start out
with the spine of a soldier
you would sag you would cave
it’s so easy to fold you
It’s so easy to fold you
Too easy to fold you
To declare a thing is not to know it
To declare a thing is not to know it

Afraid
03:29
|

I’m afraid of aging
I’m afraid of death
I’m afraid of changes
I’m afraid of death
Oh, I’m afraid of changing
Oh, I’m afraid of changing
I’m a firm believer
in what is in my head
I’m a make believer
of what could be instead
Oh, I’m a true believer
Oh, I’m my own deceiver
I’m afraid of aging
I’m alone in thinking
it needed to be said
wipe the air of phrases
return them to my head
Oh, no one here is blameless
Oh, but there is one we blame less

How's The View
03:43
|
|||
As I recall you sat me down
you told me things that you told to no one else
of all the fear that got you down and
how you hadn’t ever lived for yourself so
Ohhhh
how’d it go
tell me ohhhh
how’d it go
Bound by all you got from mum and dad
poor you your gilded life was super sad
at school you were groomed to cede control
met all expectations but none of your own so
Ohhhh
how’d it go
tell me ohhhh
how’d it go
How’d you do you blue eyed rich boy
how’s the view you filthy rich boy
what did you do you blue eyed rich boy
how’d you do you stupid rich boy
Poor you so constrained, so unwillingly blessed
your heaviest choice would be consult or invest
you happened into work with no will at all well
cushioned by the cash preventing your fall so
Ohhh
how’d it go
tell me ohhh
how’d it go
How’d you do you blue eyed rich boy
how’s the view you filthy rich boy
what did you do you blue eyed rich boy
how’d you do you stupid rich boy
Did you get all that you wanted
And are you finally sated
Did they make you happy
All the choices you made then
Did they make you happy
All the choices you made then
You could have turned away could have given it up
But then who would have bought you all of your stuff
You could have turned away could have given it up
But then who would have bought you all of your stuff
So oh
How’d it go
Tell me oh
How’d it go
How’d you do you blue eyed rich boy
how’s the view you filthy rich boy
what did you do you blue eyed rich boy
how’d you do you stupid rich boy
