Bring Your Own Brick

I don’t care
Where you’re from
I don’t care
Where you from
Buy my album
Or don’t
It don’t make any difference
Where you call home
But bring your own brick
Bring your own brick
Buy my album:
Bring your own brick

Language Perfect
02:31
|

I want it written in perfect language that I don’t stand behind this
I want it recorded in the grand iron ledger with ink made out of god’s piss
The squirrel climbed the ladder to eat nuts out of the gutter now it’s too fat for the return trip
Language does matter wars aren’t won the morning after unless we refine the grift
You see the language must be perfectly clear must be perfectly clear
The language must be suitably appropriate get your best people up in here
No abbreviations or sordid affectations it should be a good, clean read
Syllabically sound on every occasion it won’t be perfunctory
You understand the language must be perfect it must be kept perfectly clear
And of course it must be sustainably aggregate get your best people up in here
Cover all bases make it appear to be faceless to ensure there’s no room for posturing
Go grab some metrics from verified sources and clear out the search history
I won’t be remembered as the guy who stood by
While the language fell bleeding out to the wayside

Behind
02:57

That’s quite some fear
You’ve got there
Can you let me know
Where I can get a pair of my own
This is quite some cold
We’ve got rolling up in here
Me out in the rain
You ascending your stairs
There’s no telling
What I’d do
Just to be beside you
If you’d unbound my hands I promise I can scratch my own mother fucking back
If you’d forgive my sins I can eat those bloated ticks from off your fat fucking ass
Those are quite some holes
You’ve had Doug dig there
Can you let me know
Which is for shit and which is home
There’s no telling
What I’d do
To get a load of you
If you could let me in I would be forever in your debt
If you could let me win I promise you a slow and painful death

Megalatriphalinalin
02:22
|

Hold your nose
Don’t get to close
That’s no budding rose
He forgot to take his Megalatriphalinalin
That damn coffin
It’s never forgotten
Everytime is to often
Double the dose of Megalatriphalinalin
A disastrous odor
A slump in the corner
It forgot to refill its order
Of Megalatriphalinalin
Use as directed
1 with your breakfast
2 before boarding
3 when in mourning
4 at the border
5 in that order
6 just after you feel your lips cease to exist
Codone Corridors
Ketamine catchphrases
She demonstrated
There’s nothing like Megalatriphalinalin

Under The Electric Sea
04:59
|
|||
The experts all agree
They don’t know how the electric sea came to be
Perhaps a tear in a pocket dimension
Perhaps an overreliance on nuclear energy
Whatever the case there it is
Blinding the young who refuse to stop staring at it
Don’t worry about them we can teach them to echolocate
But for now let’s try and stay on topic
Sail away with me
To the electric sea
We’ll hitch a ride on a nonconductive ferry
Lather up in cream that deflects the current sea
My best friend told me she’s been to the bottom
And it charged all of her devices absolutely free
I find the glow alluring but that ominous hum disturbs me
I’d write this song if I can cross the electric sea
Whatever the case I hope it never quits
Being an ocean electric
It is almost absolutely perfect
If only it didn’t blind all those dumb ass kids
Sail over me
For I am underneath the electric sea
If you could have seen what I’ve seen
You’d be as blind as those stupid kids

Cat God
03:30
|

What did I say? Where was I going?
Oh yeah this way let me get back to showin’
What’s beneath
The Cat God sleeps
The Beast dreams peacefully
That is until it gets hungry
You know it’s stirring
When it stops purring
If I were you I’d sit down and listen
If I were you I’d shut off my device
In the beginning a kitty
Found the world’s teat
Then it grew bloated contracted devoted
On this I can be quoted
When it grew teeth
It ate whole families
The survivors dispersed
To the four corners of the Earth
If I were you I’d call in sick for work
If I were you I’d make the goddamn time
It’s a once in 9 lives
Chance to see the slits of its eyes
I can’t take your place
Wouldn’t want those straws to go to waste
Look at it the other way around
We all end up hairballs in the ground
If I were you
I’d be proud food
When the Cat God dreams
We dream to

Concrete Crumbles
03:06
|

Rebar skeleton is all that remains of him when the concrete crumbles the whole damn world groans
Shattered glass and swivel chairs coffee mugs and keyboard hair when the concrete crumbles the whole damn thing shows
And as the thing fell in I didn’t blink the whole time I’ve never felt this compelled to watch it all again in rewind
Maybe we could push this shit in a cereal bowl on the box we could prescribe “if you survive you take home the gold”
Sift through rubble with salad tongs keep the whole thing dragging on when your soft palate starts to bleed you should’ve stuck with blue cheese
As it rakes across the tongue leaves the whole area feeling numb these concrete crumbles will take some getting used to
It’ll grind your troubles down into a fine powder we could sell by the pound
And if you finish a whole box then you’ll receive a voucher guaranteeing you more...
Concrete Crumbles part of a balanced breakfast one bowl isn’t enough

Mister Moniker
02:45
|

I broke every bone
Just to make myself known
I took the mystery from its eyes
It slumped down paralyzed
It’s all I’ve ever known
The snap of a broken bone
Every rigid edge
Pushes me over that livid ledge
Feel as though I shouldn’t have to ask
To soften up my path
So I’ll be askin
Have you heard of the mighty Crackin’
Soon the world will pay out its eyes
And I can doff my disguise
Whom I lust will be awoken
On the account that their bones be a’broken
I know those bones will wait and mend
They swear they’ll catch me around the bend
But they’re just as fragile as before
So I shatter them to the floor
Now the crooks bend to a bow
Floppy beasts can’t track me down
What’s leftover I’ll grind
Into a powder refined
Mix with clay and water
I’ll mould it into the shape of my moniker
The world can’t support its weight
It just wails as it deflates

Damp Dark Parts
02:59
|
|||
Shit it followed me here
My trail of tears
From the damp dark parts
Eh it starts
A sick in your brain
Then a loss of restraint
Then it tricks out your heart
The better to tear apart
I strive to find the words
To condemn that habit of yours
We’ll get the whole fucking family involved
And I swear
Damp dark parts
Tear us apart
Purge and purge again
Scuttle those feelings
Send them back into
The damp dark parts
Slip down the ravine
Slop from the latrine
Slapstick gone all wrong
Grease up squeeze through the throngs
Get them singing along
To the dampest of songs
Then they’ll do what you want
If you’d just succumb
And spread all of that filth
No better than your damn ilk
We’ll get the whole fucking family involved
If you lapse
Damp dark parts
Tear us apart
I can quit
Whenever the I want

We Made Our Choice
05:32
|
|||
No need to break them in
I only need them for standing
Nowhere to go
Meetings over phone
We made our choice
Now we can’t be left alone
Always watching
Always quick saving
No need to break a sweat
I know a guy who is good for that
His prices so low
I don’t think he knows
We made our choice
Then we lost our voice
It usually comes crawling back
But maybe this time it’ll stay where it’s at
Show me your best fit so I can snap you out of it
Shoe me it better fit so I don’t have to break it in
Leave me with benefits so I don’t have to work to bits
Dump me in landfill filled with stuff used just a little
What am I supposed to pull
If seams were left out of the design
When it’s threadbare
Better to replace than to repair
When we made our choice
We thought we were on our own
And now that we’re on our own
We’re going down the only path shown
Grant me a final request if it must end make it last
Drag me out back the best defense a heart attack
I will stand perfectly still so motion detectors can rest a little
Above and below shark infested waters so I will know to quick load

Non Believer
01:38
|
|||
I don’t believe you I can see right through you
When you lie to me I want you to die
Now that you’re dead I cut off your head
You can’t be brought back with that short stack
Run me off the road
Run me off the road
Run me off the road
I’m a non believer
I’m a non believer
I don’t believe in you

How I Lost My Thumb
04:40
|
|||
Slow down pull over
Let it out it’s trying to re-member
How it formed the fist of its caretaker
It’s place as a superior pretender
Now it sticks out like a sore loser
Cause it lost out on being a proper contributor
It doubts it can handle loose change
It counts if we keep within it’s range
Now the doctors say I should amputate but it’s my thumb
And my wife she says she can’t take me anywhere without my thumb
I’ll have a hard time tapping out a 5/4 beat without my thumb
I sit around twiddling absolutely nothing without my thumb
It’d type it out but there’s a spot in its vision
Which coincides with a mark of derision
It wants to hide but it can’t grab the curtain
And by its side conjoined dissociation
Where did it go?
It didn’t act like this back in it’s day
It could at least phone
It doesn’t have to end this way
I guess this is just how we end up losing shit like thumbs
Sort of thought it’d find it’s way back to me but it’s just a thumb
I’ll have a hard time unlocking those smart things without my thumb
I sit around twiddling my normal fingers without my thumb
