SUFFER PRINCE

I heard from you again today
Said my sister's having another baby
I don't talk to you much
That must be why you're angry
Yet I conquered all the way
But distance don't slake my disdain
And I'm wasted all the way
I burn bridges on my holidays
This is where I will stay
'Til everything I hate
Goes away
I've forgotten how to have fun
I'm as useless as tits on a nun (he'd say to me)
Every good thing about me I forgot
And every goal I have is like an afterthought
This is where I will stay
'Til everything I hate
Is in a grave
This is where I will stay
'Til all the things I hate
Burns away
But there's no box that I can stay
To keep everything at bay
And if I'm gnawing at my connections, enough
I know that they fray
And if I were a bigger man
I'd forgive you
But I can't forgive me
I heard from you again today
Said my sister's having another baby
I don't talk to you much
That must be why you're angry

McDoubles, I love you
Give me the death that you reap
So sweet; so bleak
McDoubles, I want you
Nothing left to give to my day
But the price I pay
I know exactly where you're made from
I know your sin but I feel so numb
A trillion souls crushed between my teeth
O the damage, how it nourishes me
McDoubles, who were you?
What will you become in me?
Who am I going to be?
McDoubles, I'm sorry
I read a whole recipe
But I still can't breathe
I am so tired, and I am so poor
I don't know what I need money for
Bleed out my time for the power to be
Someone who kills the weak
I hope we die when we sleep tonight
Every day I'm alive an abyss opens wide
I'm trapped suckling on master's machines
COVID-19 bring me CRB
McDoubles, McDoubles
McDoubles, McDoubles

Don't Lie Girl

You're leaving and I'm not leaving you
There's a hole in my mind and it's shaped like the truth
God, it's hard for you that it's hard for me
But what's hard for me is that it's not as hard for you
Nothing to do with me, you say it's just what you're going through
How could you say something so cruel?
Don't lie girl
Gimme the peace I need inside my world
Don't lie girl
I'll only be set free if we let it hurt
You're leaving; I'm still not leaving you
Because I'm stubborn as fuck--I'll keep trying to be close to you
God--I'll play it cool, I'll give you space
Then leave shit purposefully at your place
So when I go over, maybe once or twice a week
I can lay down on your bed and you'll kiss me
Don't lie girl
Gimme the peace I need inside my world
Don't lie girl
I'll only be set free if you let it hurt
It's yours to own
It's yours to own
Don't lie girl
Don't lie
Don't lie girl
Gimme the peace I need inside my world

Feel it out; breathe the deep in
Retrieve the stories never told
Darkness haunts while you're dreaming
Discerning what you're made of
Burning bright down the road
You drive out past the deep end
Through the vastness of your own soul
What you seek is one who listens
Hidden down the endless folds
Set the course for the unknown
And open up your heart and let it roll
Every pretty thing you can't control
Meet me in the infinite
True existence
Soul to the void; pedal to the floor
Down the line I see imprints
Of everyone you'll ever know
I get lost in your defense
Spiraling out all alone
Slam the brakes to take control
And open up your heart and let it roll
Every pretty thing you can't control
Meet me in the infinite
True existence
Soul to the void; pedal to the floor
Open up your heart and let it roll
Every pretty thing you can't control
Meet me in the infinite
True existence
Soul to the void; pedal to the floor
Meet me in the infinite
True existence
Soul to the void; pedal to the floor

Having a Normal One

Well ain't it cruel how the world keeps turning?
Your whole entire life could snap in half in a moment
And you still gotta focus
I'm always hoping I catch covid
I'd find the time to sleep and process my emotions
'Cause my heart's still broken
And I still feel you surrounding me
Aching through my bones like a flu that'll never leave
I'm tryin' hard to forget you
But my life changed since I met you
You were all I'd see; you were where I'd be
You were all I'd need; you were my whole family
I wish I stayed hidden inside
'Cause now my heart's come alive
And all I see is what you gave me
My first and only sense of normalcy
I never thought that I'd know safety
When my shitty old landlord tried to debase me
You came over to save me
Looking back now that moment changed me
I'd be the one to let other wills overtake me
Now I'm stronger lately
And I still feel you surrounding me
Aching through my bones like a flu that'll never leave
I'm tryin' hard to forget you
But my life changed since I met you
You were all I'd see; you were where I'd be
You were all I'd need; you were my whole family
I wish I stayed hidden inside
'Cause now my heart's come alive
And all I see is what you gave me
My first and only sense of normalcy
If I could only say one thing: I'd tell you that I'm sorry
I failed you as a friend. I'm scared I failed you more than anyone
If I had the spine, I'd send me back where I came from
But nothing could snuff out how much you really mean to me
I'm tryin' hard to forget you
But my life changed when I met you
You were all I'd see; you were where I'd be
You were all I'd need; you were my whole family
I wish I stayed hidden inside
'Cause now my heart's come alive
And all I see is what you gave me
My first and only sense of normalcy
Now I see what you gave me:
My first and only sense of normalcy
