Inside Out 04:27
Ruffling feathers tonight One duffel bag empty as a fight Between the undercards I’m in the truck eating wonderbars Windows tinted from the inside out Hope we don’t stand out from the other cars But everybody’s got business to mind, move on down the line It’s a dine and dash world don’t you find The sick man mutilates and gets met with eyes blind And Robert Jones does time I’m not gonna resign It’s mine for the taking, staking out Mace in hand I’m here to win man, pony-trekking like Finland Fork in the road less travelled Tin man courage to 11, and I work hard Report card: 7 seas like Sinbad That won’t touch us, the ink’s no duchess As much as we scrutinize luscious luxury Cosmetics, blush I foresee 5 g’s in my clutches, so fuck it Inside out foundation Won’t take much for this to fall apart Inside out foundation Won’t take much Back out, and book it to the tune of 65 in a 50 zone Slow enough to trick a drone, swiftly roam through residential homes Like the ice cream man, an ice cream van that's High on change and low on cones Fun time having, front seat navigator satnavving Pinpoint mapping, location is everything, Tom Glavine No stress no sweat nobody to catch us out We’re not there yet, but I can see it now Chicken chow mein sizzling, Champagne drizzling Shit’s finna pop off, got soda pop fizzling, and we don’t stop chiseling Sports bra dangling, soft spot tickling Goosebumps tingling Guzzling, guzzling, dizzying, dizzying 3 am sleeptalking to an officer It was not me, go away, please, I freeze Cause these suitcases of cheese Can’t be explained or retained, so down the drain, though I do it in vain I’m sane, I’m sane, I’m innocent And this evidence is just incidental I’ll show strange mercy, like St. Vincent And dance myself clean like James Murphy And pay dividends, any denomination, what you want? Tontons you can live in, ten tents yeah I’m pitching them Inside out foundation Won’t take much for this to fall apart Inside out foundation Won’t take much

Bright red of the cranberry Indigo plus burgundy Everybody wants to get a glance to see the color of the year Lime green and creamy beige Gray silvery leaves of sage Everybody's wondering what's gonna be the color of the year It's the color of the year so Rejoice and have no fear Just a day or two until the color of the year is here Love and cheer as the clouds of your life become clear Chug a beer, hug a dear friend, paradise is near But a mere moment later I was doubting myself Got in my head like maybe colors are affecting my health I'm a stealth landscaper Colorful plan maker, black and white The only language that don't need a translator Blue-green of a mountain lake Purple pedals of mandrakes Boysenberry black, all have the chance to be the color of the year Cornsilk yellow and sailor blue Dark cherry tomato hue Everybody knows that anything could be the color of the year Sunset orange and tangerine Crimson mixed with aquamarine But the bubble gum pink of your long sleeve shirt Well, that's my color of the year That's my color of the year, color of the year, color of the year It's the color of the year and ain't no lullabies here Shade of blue that'll nullify tears Overdone like a culinary fear Send submissions for the color of the year The color of the year, now everything is clear, it's a blank slate Can't wait to see the color of the year

Space Groove 03:46
Life is short, get wine Get a coffee ‘cause you know it’ll make you feel fine Don’t get bored, be free And make sure that your deeds make everybody see All the stuff and the fine bars to hang out You surround yourself with are the best So many people out there to make you happy, make no doubt To use them, ignore the rest ‘Cause life is short, consume Life is short, consume Life is short, two feet tall Consume, consume it all Life is short, just two feet tall Consume, consume it all Cause after all life is short so, get a room get a room Life’s a mess, get a broom get a broom Take a test in the afternoon Do you feel desolation, doom and gloom? Then come book a stress-free getaway soon Ain’t a better way to spend your Legal tender, regal vendors to suspend your disbelief When commander-in-chief says the world sees you like a peace defender No retreat no surrender, living in a world ruled by money lenders Pretenders, every one and they don’t have fun like a dry bartender No retreat no surrender, living in a world ruled by money lenders Pretenders, every one But before you jump the gun just remember Life is short, consume Life is short, consume Life is short, we’re here to make it last It’s within your grasp Go spend that hard-earned cash and make a splash

You thought that you would matter You have ended up being a middle-aged lonely drunk

Faux 02:36
Introducing Mr. I am the star of the show On the hunt for validation everywhere he goes Fiending for a compliment to stroke on his ego Always frames the situation in such a way so That he's on top or masquerading in the role of a hero Handicapped attention whore, soaking up the quotes They marvel at his smile, he glows, but that's gon decompose Facts gon extricate themselves to the point where everybody knows he's a faux Deceiving (he's a faux) On this evening (what a faux) Misleading everyone so easily He's a foe, parading like a friend It's easy not to notice subtle trends Like how it always seems to fall to pieces in the end Girls around him caught up in the moment once again Once again, there's a pattern, what a pattern But no one to observe it So take the truth and curve it like some rings surrounding Saturn As he swings around his kingdom now, but that's gon cease to matter Facts gon extricate themselves, and they might just mobilize the chatter, he's a faux Deceiving (he's a faux) On this evening (what a faux) Misleading everyone so easily Deceiving (what a faux) On this evening (ain't nothing but a faux) Misleading everyone so easily But not for long, these levees Can't hold on and will be gone In the blink of an eye we will right what's wrong

Lullaby 04:05
I want to show you Where trains go 'cross the river I want to see you chase the pigeons in the park All your hopes On which I don't deliver Will come and scare you leaving your heart in the scars And I will ask you to forgive me For being just a lease version of someone else On a rainy day I'll take your soaking shoes off And as you fall asleep, I'm going to sing to you How good it is up there in heaven And I will know that you forgive me For being just a lesser version of someone else When the things no longer matter I might discover that I didn't lie How good it is up there in heaven

Tense 02:47
Well I won’t miss this anyway So leave your jacket at the door and take your pennies away I’m all the way past the say yes at all costs state of affairs I know you’re tryna set us up like table and chairs I won’t miss this anyway And if some things break right, I might end it all today Bring about some disarray Flourish with the situation tense and the saturation dense Piss away the tick-tocks in sweats and flip-flops They can’t find the key to happiness and try to pick locks And you put up with the mediocrity and all the slick talk So you can hit ‘em with the quick shot Call to action Gone just like the urge that came Upon us back then Nothing’s gonna change without A call to action (action is your call) Gone just like the urge that came Upon us back then (back then we were nothing) Nothing’s gonna break us out of phase Well I won’t miss this anyway Thought police on patrol with the goal on display Shut it down, shut it down like a monitor They monitor every step, follow it and say there’s nothing wrong with it And tell you life is all the rage Got state of the art junk and you’re on center stage And you’re making a nice wage Dog you ain’t free, you just live in a nice cage Well I won’t miss this anyway There’s greener pastures that are on the way And between disasters they hunker and pray And consolidate bunkers to hide in the shade And you’ll try to evade but the freight train’s coming Gunning for you, nothing to do Call to action Gone just like the urge that came Upon us back then Nothing’s gonna change without A call to action (action is your call) Gone just like the urge that came Upon us back then (back then we were nothing) Nothing’s gonna break us out of phase

Here and there I see fear in the air Wind blows here and there People go here and there Who's heir to the throne? Chopped off dome like Robespierre Prepare for the most unfair fortnight of your life As we cut to the chase like fork to the knife Knife to the steak, steak to the pie, pie to the face And then get taken to town by the very same folks that you tried to replace And pace, up and down sidewalks with everybody telling you to cut that out But you stay locked in to the Beats so any criticism put forth you just shut that out I don’t know what that’s about, he ponders, wonders Wanders around living on clout nine I think it’s about time to rejigger the line Here and there I see fear in the air Wind blows here and there People go here and there Not a moment too late or a second too soon Yin to the yang like bride to the groom Riding the waves, tide goes in, tide goes out, terns go south But you don’t move a muscle and watch the hustle and bustle From afar, puff the cigar, air, lean back on your armchair Life ain’t fair, but we fare pretty well Lost a friend? Hard to tell from the chats you’ll hear In the place we dwell Onwards and upwards, mademoiselles Pranksters, gangsters, rooftop bells in the air It’s all for one like health care We pick up the pieces here and there

You thought you’d end the laughter But now you’re left with this sweet and sticky anger So hide behind sunglasses and pretend you’re self-sufficient You thought you’d end the laughter But then you wake up early on the morning after Make up caked on, looking like plaster Impending disaster, governmental shock Man somebody call the cops like eleven nine backwards The masters, they know better than to muck around pedaling To sharps about a lizard man, flat earth Save it for the cast-offs, the bachelors Catch ‘em in the kitchen, weaving stories like patchwork You can’t deny how well it fits together Back against the wall, and it’s all now or never It’s what you felt inside you all these years Always had that hunch but kept it sleeping right between your ears Time to let it breath, set it free Try as they might they won’t counteract the energy So hide behind sunglasses and pretend you’re self-sufficient Feed off the snark, carry it, carry it Sharks aren’t supposed to be pescatarian You thought that you would matter You have ended up being a middle-aged lonely drunk Don’t ever dream of getting out of this I think we’re better than this Man, I know we’re better than this Let’s rise above cause we’re better than And we won’t let ‘em split us up, nah, we’re better than this Welcome to almost there You thought you’d end the laughter You thought that you would matter You thought you were worth something All in vain Welcome to almost there
