1.

Simple (1:47)

You stopped and locked your doors when the cop car passed
You said you weren't into it
You said there were people who paid good money to see this
It was a stepping stone
It was a teenage horoscope, a hundred for the last month's bills
I snuck out the fire escape
And now your mother's crushing out another bottle of her pills
You say you can't handle it, incessantly

On again off again
Too simple

Start the car to park the car to start the car to park the car
Stop showing me your scar
Cram the internet into the back of your car
Drive it to the laundromat
And set it on fire
Pretty soon there won't be anyone visible
You're cutting out your eyes
Is it any wonder people like the medicine when the medicine's a knife
I started running away as soon as you looked at me like a conspirator

Severed
Of course
You said things had been bad for a while
So stop shitting on me
I've got 5 minutes to change your mind

The Hand of the Sick (3:10)

We went away
There were no voice messages
There was no trail
Only a pile of ashes
Don't go consume
The stain of lashes on a stump
He retried it
It only squeaked a reply
Indigenous fruit
Blackened in the sun
I traded selfies for a face
It acted like you
What will I wear
When tender cronies break the door down
They shared a knife
They pushed the hand back in the pot
You tender leaflet
The bowl tells for you
A sycophant
A treasure chest of dirt
Tear apart the house
And separate the silverware
You said I'll take the heart attack

Stoned on doubloon tristesse among accountants
Erasing
Lance the money clip
Drain it till it's dry
Call the cops
Tender your resignation
Take off your tie
And set it on fire
We will never die
The hand of the sick
We will never die
The hand of the sick

Lemonade/Mud (2:06)

Eat lemonade
You should eat it
Eat lemonade it's good for you
It's lemonade
Caught in a mountaneer's stare
Go bald with a renewed vigor
Cuz no one understands you
See?
Eat lemonade
It's essential
And this whole box is
And this whole box is
Drop
Eat

Shake your shark
It's a misfit
All along along along
I'll bring lava
You bring beer
Ok?
Mother goose she know she wrong
Die you sufferbeast
And there's salt in my tissue
Pick it up

EEEEEE

You're so residential
Residential
Resdiential
Aw, be stuck inside a mindfuck?
As he shouts
In this mud

No Other Way (4:14)

The corsair lacks resilience
The tempest holds no beat
Reginald stabbed the pavement
Digging for soil
But he only found meat
Cars don't take you dancing
Traps don't sprain your feet
The alcohol glare commodious stare
The burbage in the buttermilk stank like a modern calf
He passed through the doorway and spat
Like there was nothing else in his mouth
But she knew what she was after
Torches torches torches
Porches and corpses and gum
Porches and corpses and gum
Hugging like the sun
He hiccuped as if he meant to say
There is no other way
Your lips are getting louder
There is no other way
