From a Distance (The Phantom Limbs)

I hate the drowning man

who digs into my skin

wants me to take a swim

with him

I hate the wounded man

who staggers

into my arms

convulsing and puking

My little child

spitting up

and crying for his bottle

My aching back has

carried him

to act as launching pad

not landing strip

I’ll cut the cord

then I can love this satellite

I love the pampered man

who swaggers

out of my arms

displaying his many charms for the other ones

He walks out head held high

dressed to the nines

with feathers in his cap

plucked from my back

My aching back has

carried him

to act as launching pad

not landing strip

I’ll cut the cord

then I can love this satellite

the way that one should love a star

(from a distance)

Ain't Your Mother Calling (Loto Ball)

I don't think about it much

whatever it is you thought I thought

I don't contemplate it much

I think I probably forgot

So you don't need to be all sketched

peeking in and out at me

I am tired I've grown tired

I can't think about these things

Seems like you are asking for it

You just can't leave it alone

You want me to dig it all up

What for? is it the only thing you own?

I don't want any more favors

Yes I love you yes forever

I don't want to go to parties

You go on, don't wait up for me

I don't need any more help

Don't you worry I'm set up

I'm just fine here, go ahead

You can go, you've done enough  

Don't you have something to do?

Ain't your mother calling you?

Don't you have somewhere to go?

Stayin here just seems so dull

Keyverb (BSA)

Rationalize what already exists

Explain what's already there

Take it as your own

You gave birth to a concrete block

Fired in the kilns of was

You gave birth to a solid rock

Turned you to stone

Kiss A Cop (BSA)

She would not even talk to me

I told her get off my property

She had the keys to turn it on

I couldn't hold my own

I threw chairs and hit no one

I kissed a cop and smashed a girl

I threw chairs and hit no one

I kissed a cop and smashed a girl

Halloweiner (BSA)

Oh God it takes so long

I don't know if I'm strong enough

Oh God it takes so long

I don't know if I'm strong enough

I'm not the chosen one

Not even worth the ground I walk upon

Meat Shop (BoyScouts of Annihilation)

People on Broadway street
Always looking at their feet
They don't know where the fuck they're going
Always walking around in circles

Walking, walking into the meat shop

Raisin (BoyScouts of Annihilation)

Sitting out in the sun waiting for the chosen one
Sitting on the burning lawn waiting til the day is done
He's a Raisin and He's all wrinkled up

Scissors (BoyScouts of Annihilation)

Come inside with me, I guess you'll surely see
That butter lubricates but burns eventually
Your butter will just burn, the lubrication gone
Carbonized remains, friction maintained

Your butter will just burn, the lubrication gone
Carbonized remains, friction maintained

I got a pan so fry in it
I got a pencil write with it

Who Cares Anyway (BoyScouts of Annihilation - Mucous ep)

Was a man with no beliefs, jumped upon the highest mountain
Who Cares Anyway?
Yes that man with no beliefs, carried that mountain back to town man
Who Cares Anyway?

He may find a can opener for your can of worms
He may just let them squirm
And you won't know what to say

But Who Cares Anyway?

Now you're counting to ten
Hoping that you found what came for
Count to eleven instead
You're just scratching your head
Won't it get blistered and bled?
Or is it all full of lead?

Who Cares Anyway?

Mucous (BoyScouts of Annihilation - Mucous EP)

Fuck labels and fuck ladles, big old fuckin' huge cradles
The arm of the law and the arm of the system
Spoonin' out milk with their sugary wisdom

The end of distress, the elephant's nest
Your mother just pesters me, grabs me and dresses me
I've got the reason, I've got the keys in, I've got the hammer
Enough to stammer out this
