Jack and Jill

JackNJill went up the hill to pass the pipe and pop some pills til they fall down.
He loves her and she loves him, they were born to lose, they never can win cuz they're both clowns.
It's a typical Friday night to score some shit and start some fights in this small town.
Whoa, in this small town where two rivers meet (off of I29 on the Iowa side) two lost souls in the sewer doing time.
JackNJill need a new thrill, they thirst for more, they're never fulfilled til they both drown.
So they snort some juice and steal some booze a magic mix to help them cut loose (it's coke and Crown)
They wasted away most of their youth, caged animals with nothing to do in this small town.
Whoa, in this small town where two rivers meet (off of I29 on the Iowa side) two lost souls in the sewer doing time. Oh my my.

Gravity

I can recognize the signs.
It's like a movie where the hero fucks up in the end.
I can't pretend that everything's alright.
There's no victory, no symphony for the sound track in my head.
How do I breath in the space between you and me?
I'm standing still, my life is waiting to come back to me.
But I'm out of breath, there's nothing left that's waiting to come back to me.
The ground around me falls away. It falls away.
And it falls away.
I can recognize the signs.
My heart beats everywhere except where it's s'posed to.
Nothing stays in place here - the walls move - so why can't I?
I defy the laws of gravity, step out on thin air and I hang there.
I think I'm going to be stranded here for a little while.
I'm standing still, my life is waiting to come back to me.
But I've lost the knack can't get it back, like it's waiting to come back to me.
The ground around me falls away. It falls away.
And it falls away.
Waiting to come back to me. It's waiting to come back...
I can recognize the signs.
You fall away.
You're not here.
You're not waiting to come back to me.
I can recognize the signs. I can recognize...

Tossing & turning, this long night.
It's not my life (no, not at all).
The days hang like leaves on a tree; winter's coming - watch them fall.
Feels like I'm sleeping, but without dreaming,
and I cannot recall the last time I woke up.
Everything will change. Everything will... (And if you are)
The earth beneath my feet, my body wants to sink into the ground.
I wanna dissipate; I want to melt away into the sound
of your breathing while you are sleeping.
Cuz now it finally feels like I am waking up.
Everything will change.
The world is everything it's not supposed to be,
but your face is such a lovely place to be.
Dawn is breaking; it leaves my body shaking.
Just another sign, that I am waking up.
Everything will change.
Your face is such a lovely place to be.

Hi it's me a friendly voice of reality, just stopping by to say -
things will never get better than they are now.
And everyday you'll stay the same while everything around you
moves farther and farther away.
So when you're feeling down and out and everything looks grey, please recall that you are meaningless so it doesn't matter anyway; and when you've had a bad day, yeah, the universe sent good things your way -
don't trust it; it's a set up for the final stroke of some evil master plan.
Just remember that every single day you wake,
you're moving closer to the last breath that you'll ever take.
Angry gods from various mythologies are planning your demise...
or they would be...if you mattered to them at all.
Your presence on this planet is coincidence at best;
as you grapple with your insignificance - please,
try not to get in anybody's way.
Just remember that every single day you wake,
you're moving closer to the last breath that you'll ever take.
Life fucking sucks. This is good as it gets, folks. Optimism is a joke: The glass is half-full, but it's filled with poison.
You might as well just give up now; it doesn't matter anyhow.
But hey it's your life,
if that's what you call it.
Just remember that every single day you wake,
you're moving closer to the last breath that you'll ever take.
Everything you scrape to get is just more weight around your neck, and you pile it on until the day,
you hang your head and die.

Falter

Push her and she falters.
Falters, even when you call her she can't hear you,
can't be too near you.
All her thoughts,
all her thoughts are grey. Doesn't know just what to say.
Go ahead and speak your mind. I think you'll find -
she's already left it behind her.
And the world turns her on her head.
And she thinks "I might be dead"
She can breathe underwater, but drowns in open air.
Staying soft is getting harder. She has to learn how not to care...
When she cries, you would never notice.
She is careful what she shows - it's a gift of trust. (No one listens hard enough.) And her head, it keeps circulating.
Tries to make her mind be empty, sitting lotus, can't keep focus from the thoughts that always broke us.
And she thinks 'I might be dead'
Then the world turns on its head.
She can breathe underwater but drowns in open air.
Staying soft is getting harder...she'll never learn how not to care.

I don't want you no more.
I know that now.
I see you driving that car all over town.
You've got your sunglasses on, and your hair pulled back;
you waved at me, but I didn't wave back.
Hey.
I hear you're asking my friends just how I've been.
Well, I'll tell you the truth: oh, I've been living in sin.
I'm drinking some booze and having some fun.
I've been popping some pills and playing with guns.
Hey.
Now I can face it this time that I wasted just thinking about how to get you back. Cuz now I can taste it, your kisses you laced them, and sent your poison right into my soul.
I've been painting the town black & blue;
just like my face (but hey what's new).
Sometimes I fall, but I get back up
cuz all of my friend's, well they love me so much.
Hey.
All the sky is Cancer.
Fill my mind with Cancer.
