These walls are closing in on me
I can’t recall the last breath I drew when I was free
Escape's a tunnel to the sea
On the edge, a cliff, the precipice I need to leap
But I cannot swim
Cannot swim
Cannot swim
Cannot swim
Hey
I’d seen the writing on the wall
Escapes a lost ideal when you are trapped in mid free fall
I’d found myself in all and all
As i slipped escaped from my lips as a shattered call
I said I cannot swim
Cannot swim
Cannot swim
Cannot swim
Hey

I’d been lost, I’d been found
(They) picked my feet up off the ground
Grabbed my hair and threw me in
“Boy you have sinned”
Fucked me up, spit me out
Filled my head with guilt and doubt
Hold my face to the grind
Turpentine

After the weld (I) looked around, I could no longer see
A state of pain without light’s where the flashburn left me
But somehow darkness brought a strange ecstasy
Light leaked in, I was left with nothing but greed
I would take
Cocaine drops numb the pain I don’t want to go away
I turn on the gas sit at the steel, let the wire relay
The arcs alive, I reach up, pull my mask away
My corneas drink the glory of the UV ray
They burn
And all light fades

Find their hair in your
“Please get down off the counter”
Teeth, clothes, everywhere
“Won’t you please come down”
Sanitization
“Please come out from the cabinet”
I’m covered in hair
Making me unwound
And no,
Because these cats need anarchy
And these cats scream “Anarchy”
“We won’t come down”
“Please come down off the counter”
Claw your favorite things
“That’s where I make my food”
Witching hour strikes
“Get the fuck out (of) the cabinet”
Midnight yowls for food
“I’ll leave you in there for…”
No
Because these cats need anarchy
And these cats scream “Anarchy”
“We won’t come out”

When he woke he wasn’t where he fell
(He) Couldn’t feel his body and his eyes burned with a color he couldn’t tell
“Why did you take...
Why did you come down here, I...”
“You don’t know anyone at all.”

His neighbors learned how to fish
So he said, “That river’s mine”
So they worked at the nets every day
Because his rights were divine
And so they fished that river dry
And does he even care
He just scrapes until nothing's left
Doesn’t even leave the air

Country Song

I have been to the country
And I settled down
Each step I took out
My feet began to drown
And my bastard eyes
Questioned what they saw
As the Texas steppe turned red
Like the Tigers Maw
Well I worked 40 days
Slept 40 nights
But when I got back from the desert I just wanted to get high
I lost some friends along the way
And I hate myself more more every single day
Okay
