Hold my hand, bury me in the sand I wanna float out into the ocean Eyeball the sun, feel the burn in my lungs Blow Os with or without tongue Stuck in the heat, adrift in dreams on repeat Could you ash this for me please? Hold my hand, bury me in the sand I wanna float out into the ocean Seaweed brains wants to stay the same Even when they know the tides change Stuck on the reef, think I'm drowning in keef Why am I such a jitbag?

Roommates 03:22
Little Goose is watching me, peeking his head Clicking his teeth like he says, Dad can you give me a treat please? Little kitties following me, Meanies rubs his face on my feet Will he bite? Or jump up onto the dresser Gregg and I watch TV, we're shot out Living life on repeat everyday, it seems we're working for something. Roommates welcome me home Makes me feel I'm not alone Six a.m. and my friends are asleep Got home from work and the sun starts to creep up and rise I boarded the window Little Bean is next to me, reaching out Making sounds in her sleep And I hope, that she is having a good dream Roommates welcome me home Makes me feel I'm not alone

I went to a TV party at my boss's house I like to watch the show, but not the guy himself But all my friends from the office said they would come too I wanna hang with Erin cause she's so cool. Snuck into the back to go through my boss's shit I wanna be cool though I radiate awkwardness Found powdered seahorse in a box in his room Maybe if I take it I won't have to sing the blues. I went to a TV party at my boss's house I wonder what they'll think of me at the office now.

Stuck in incubation, hanging out with my friends They are my creations and projections, of influence I try to comprehend their murmurs but I've been confused And they don't understand Saying I'm too different, now I think I blew my only chance. I see it in your eyes, you want it like i do It's not a dream, it's not a plan, it's not an achievement As you can see it's all in for me and if it is for you Let's abandon doubt for now, and try to ride it out Just ride it out Just ride it out We'll hit the road, headed way too far for just one day A system change, a weird exchange, the patience for a dumb detour We've seen the factory too many times, It can't be right but that's alright Let's abandon doubt for now, and try to ride it out Just ride it out Just ride it out

Manic 03:30
Happy as can be, but lacking sleep Life is a dream A passionate illusion, and I can't concentrate What does it mean? Cause people come and they go, and I don't know why. They're not like me, but I can see their sides. She makes my moods, turn on a dime If I'm a good dog, she'll let me inside. Manic as can be, I'll never sleep So many places I should be Life is an illusion, devoid of meaning Say you disagree Cause people come and they go, and I don't know why. They're not like me, but I can see their sides. She makes my moods, turn on a dime If I'm a good dog, she'll let me inside. Manic as can be, I'll never sleep So many places I should be I am full of passion but I can't concentrate What does it mean for me?

Mulder it's me, we need to talk please Could you meet me by the freeway? I don't think it's safe on this line. Mulder it's me, I cannot see My eyes glazed over, milky, creamy I think the voodoo man took my sight. Mulder it's me, from 1940 You're aboard a ship of Nazis The Lone Gunmen and I are on our way The Bermuda Triangle has struck again Time Warped you onto the Queen Anne. Mulder it's me, in New Jersey The devil here is super hairy But not quiet the monster that you thought. Mulder it's me, I talked to Jeffery Blocked the tracks and started aiming The truth we seek is riding on that train.
