Melanomates

Got a head full of hobos
A skinful of blind
An eyeful of broken
And you on my mind
Got a head full of tuna
A bed full of brine
Fold away feelings
and you on my mind
Ain't no briefcase I be holding
It be pretty long
Ain't no sad face I be showing
It's a just gone wrong
I gotta head butt
Gotta golf club
Gonna, gonna smash this whole place up
Got a mouth full of thunder
A head full of rain
A desk by the fire escape
And you on my brain
Ain't no shoulder I be breaking
It be only spine
Ain't a doughy midsection
It be pretty fine

PUSH IT DOWN
04:59

I got things to talk about
I got hell to pay
Stupid boring piece of shit
Won’t just go away
So push it down
Turn up that frown upside-down
I got bones to pick with you
Nothing feels ok
Stupid boring, shut your mouth
Won’t just go away
Just push it down, push it down
Turn that frown upside-down
I got smarts better than this
And we similar goals
Let’s shoot our dads into the sun
And pray it fills a hole
Just push it, push it down
Turn that frown upside-down
Just push it down, push it down
Nothing to worry about

Hey apocalypse, it's nice to know you still be trying
To lift me by the hips
And make believe like I be flying away,
you're all terrible people, with terrible clothes, go away
but I don't care, I got no dog in the race
So do me a solid, do me again and again
terrible feelings but I got nothing to say
Aw hey its you, I don't forget a face
Naw I'll do it, it's a piece of cake
ah've nothing to hide, I just wanna go home today
oh it'll blow over, everyone makes mistakes

Blue Teeth Thursdays
03:57
|

I bring nothing to the table
It's nothing to worry about
yeah I got friends
mind your own business
I'm laughing all of the time
You remind me of my father
But I wish that you were my dad
You'd take me fishing, up on the river
And run at the first sign of sadness
So crawl out the window and down to the street
And swear you weren't going to leave
A pull on your hair and up to your feet
And push through your chest with a bread knife
all this blue on my teeth
cos i never get to see you
All of these telescopes focused on land
And I be just focused on me
And all of your friends and family hope you're keeping ok
But I don't care, Jamie

A Brand New Day
06:13
|
|||
Ain't a thing can touch me today
ain't a plan that I cannot break
got a heavy head of hollow
A belly full of grey
A big bowl of sadness
It's a brand new day
Ain't no bad will happen today
Ain't no feeling I cannot shake
Just forget it, doesn't matter
You missed it anyway
Low level waster
It’s a brand new day
Ain't nothing that I cannot do
Ain't no hole that I cannot grave
No good, could be better
I thought you'd gone away
Goodbye forever
It's a brand new day

hole
05:12
|
|||
So i dig me a hole
And i fill it with thinking
Just give me something to hold
Or something worth drinking
While I lay down inside
And drive a car through my kidneys
Cos there’s nothing to do
So fuck it all, who’s with me
There’s a hole in my head
with a hole lot of faeces
And I pray you blow up
and spray the whole world with TVs
For I done you no good
And you not much better
I got half a mind
To sleep forever
So I dig me a hole
And I fill it with thinking
But the wind takes my hat
And I blame it on people
