welcome 02:44
lyrics
welcome to the world of hunger where you’ll need to eat things try to find a spot for your body to put it when it’s sleeping i am the boss and you are a glitch see if you can last until your time to pass see if you can last until you naturally pass careful what you say when you’re dreaming they might overhear you try to make sure the others like you make sure they fear you i am the boss and you are a glitch the sun is a lightbulb and the walls are fake pain is nothing it just feels that way pay no attention to the man in your head he’ll just abandon you as soon as you’re dead chill out baby this is just for fun so keep on chewing on your bubble gum see if you can last until your time to pass see if you can last until you naturally pass

lyrics
my desktop picture is a tahitian beach my desktop picture is a tahitian beach my desktop picture is a tahitian beach and if i focus i can almost feel the breeze photoshop me please water to my knees i open up a window and i look for myself i open up a window and i search for myself i open up a window and i google myself and i found out i was somewhere else by myself looking for myself reach out touch base to the man with no face i saw a martian and it looked so real i saw an explosion and it looked so real i saw 3 dimensions and it looked so real i saw hugh grant and he made me feel look into the screen listen to them scream take a picture of me and show it to me take a picture of me and show it to me take a picture of me and show it to me right now take a picture of me and show it to me right now how do i appear looking in the mirror? reach out touch base to the man with no face plug in is it an actionable thing? plug in

i'm not here 03:34
lyrics
overseas they got it rough across the street they got it rough me i got enough stuff a penny here a penny there a pretty penny drops and i don’t care someone else will pick it up and it will rattle in their cup i pay my bills i pay good wills i give a little back and i get a little thrill yes i always vote for good i am good and it’s understood if you were me you’d do the same it’s not my fault that there’s no one to blame look away cause i’m not here i got nothing to say cause i’m not here do you hear me? do you believe that i’m not here? i’m not in your music, i’m not here i’m not in your headphones, i’m not here i’m just a whisper i’m probably just the wind you can see through me straight to the wall cause i’m not here at all i’m in your semen, i’m up your nose i’m in your rock and roll i watch the news i shake my head i drink some booze and go to bed in my dreams there is peace i hate blood and i hate pain i hate blood and i hate pain i will hope and i will prey god will come and god will save overseas they got it rough across the street they got it rough the way i see it you just got fucked next time around try better luck

call me please 03:22
lyrics
on my own i’m looking for somebody else with somebody trying to be by myself sitting waiting for a plan with my phone in my pants i try to feel it ringing but i can’t the vibrations of finally getting a text and the joys of knowing what’s happening next we’re gonna drink a beer for a change find words to arrange and exchange when i think about it it’s strange we don’t have to be alone look at all the people in my phone and when i see them my face glows what hath god wrought? dot dot dot dash dash dash dot dot dot call me please calm me down put me at ease call me please won’t you calm me down please? call me please calm me down put me at ease call me please yeah call me please call me late at night i can’t turn off the TV in the morning i can’t stop falling asleep you could go out for a walk to the park or around the block but sooner or later you’ll wanna turn back
