Money Mind

I put my money on mind again
Where did it go?
Nobody knows
I lost money so I called a friend
They didn't know
Nobody knows
(Yeah)
I put my money inside of my head
Lost to my soul
Where did it go?
Lost my money and I lost my friend
The price of gold
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

These bastard intentions form fast in normal light
Then lighten tension
Mention something stupid
Stand still that's still life
Hand hold
I'm up hill
Demand met
Metabolize
Sweat it out
Fantasize
Fill with doubts
Deliberately let go
Let all things fold in half
Lest we forget
Less spelling and more math
Mold facts
and act out
Breath
Suspicions
Spit out garbage
Then gargle that
Cough out fiction
Tighten fists and
When everything else is mentioned managed to get over it but still seethe at the idea of quitting
Quote your favourite philosopher to people who don't even like reading books
Sound like you like reading books to people who already fucking hate you
Escape the internet before it escapes you
Set the world on fire just to watch it burn
Just so you feel in control
Tell no one it was you fault
It was
Just no fault of your own
Stop standing still
Stop moping around
Set the world on water
Just so it will grow well
When the ground swells and erupts with green
Your heart will stop beating that's just imminent you don't have to be mean
Now a life lived doesn't have to have meaning for it to have happened
Or for it to have been
And just because you didn't accomplish something doesn't make you a has been
It means at least you fucking tried
And that's better than most
It's not easy making a feast when you are just starting out with beans and toast
And you can boast about your accomplishments
As long as you remember how they made you feel
You can't ghost your own presence
Cause of precedence
You can never not exist
You have always been real
Worthy, true and beautiful
You are exceptional
And this song is just about you.

Eternity in Haste

Melting my face while I'm writing this track down
Standing sounding stupid while I pronounce myself as free now
I message myself to remind me I'm human
The internet chatter I chat with is useless
Massive appeal I have little
I am stone cold sober while I belittle myself
and I sound so bitter
and so hard done by
I sound like I'm sounding off
While these similes assimilate
I am late to the party
While I still sound pissed off
Crying out loud while I crown myself as a closer
I am cleaning out my closet so I can fill it with more junk as I get older
Telling myself that maybe I should quit soon
I'm needing a quilt so I can cover up this big ugly baboon
Good night sleep tight my face is melting
Warm in this bed while I count myself as mere nothing
Not a thing

You Can Do Drugs!

Best pattern
Best useless hobby
Next chapter
The next book is sloppy
I'm covered in mud
Covered in old timey dissonance
Under the covers
The beds made in under developed ideas
Lost to innocence
Rhyme schemes and pestilence
Talking about what talking about
But conveying with little excellence
I'm next to myself
Yelling about existence
I'm reading books
But bragging about their contents
With little to no context
So I'm just rambling about
Someone else's convictions
In hopes I sound definitive
But I'm not
Or at least I'm not on topic
or at least I'm off
And still lost to progress
Or at least I hate cops
Cause police for profit
Or at least I can speculate
But I don't have to be honest
You can do drugs
You can do drugs
You can do drugs
You can do drugs
You can do drugs
You can do drugs
Just cause their fun
