The Bubble

I’m not used to dudes who take walks when their thoughts are loud
I’m used to the bubble and the bubble will pop if you think you’re proud
Have you seen the king on his throne of so many years
He brings the boys to their knees and the boys eyes are full of tears
But where does it go
All the ideas and things that you made in a little pond
Where does it go
When the bubble keeps you home
I never wanted to wander too far
Now I’m afraid I won’t see it all
You spun me round in your not fancy car
Who knew the king would eventually fall
There are many queens walking circles round this gigantic planet
Not a lot get the credit in the bubble run by princes reciting Hamlet
Woe is me to be or not to be is that the question
These ladies know what they want and they’ve got too much time to teach you a lesson
But where do they go
When all the power is never in their control
Where do they go
When the bubble keeps them home
There are many suitors unsuitable for me
not a lot of room in this bubble for a magic matrimony
I once met a serf a peasant sweet as can be
Hid away from the castle but the bubble came back to devour me
I never wanted to run
I never wanted to run
I never wanted to run
But I got good at it
I got good at it
I never wanted to run
I never wanted to run
Never wanted to run
But I got good at it
You taught me how to spit
I never wanted to run
But now it’s fun
Oh I got good at it
I got good at it
It’s never told
That poor boy had a heart of gold

I Don't Need A Boyfriend
03:31

I don’t need a boyfriend
I don’t need your nonsense tonight
You can always call me
I’ll be on my own livin light
You can always dream about the things that we could be
But you won’t think ‘bout the time it takes to understand me
I don’t need a boyfriend
I don’t need your nonsense tonight
I’m not hollow
I don’t cheat
I’m not delusive
or empty
You lack substance
Solidity
It’s not serious
No stability
I’m not stupid
But I’ll weep
You got me all bubbled up
So fizzy
I don’t need a boyfriend
I don’t need your nonsense tonight
You can always call me
I’ll be on my own livin light
You can always dream about the things that we could be
But you won’t think ‘bout the time it takes to understand me
I don’t need a boyfriend
I don’t need your nonsense tonight
No not tonight

Bubbling over
Highly
Excite me
You’re on the bubble
Verge of satisfaction
It’s risky
Risky seeing me
Don’t wanna burst
Burst your bubble
Seeing me
Don’t wanna hurt
Get you in trouble
Grab your telescope
Grab your cellular phone
It’s the king
He rules the bubble
Or so he thought
I guess not
It’s been running
Running away from him
It’s been humming
Humming humming a hymn
Take us home now we want we want to go
Back to the bubble
Back to what we know
Take us home now we want we want to go
Back to the bubble
As above so below
Chaos disorder
There’s a secret order
In the ring
Failing upwards
DAD ME AROUND
WE ARE NOT BOUND
Cutting corners
Bubbling over
On under and over on under and over on under
Take us home now we want we want to go
Back to the bubble
Back to what we know
Take us home now we want we want to go
Back to the bubble
As above so below
Take us home now we want we want to go
Back to the bubble
Back to what we know
Take us home now

Through the Glass
03:36
|
|||
|
The circumstances that I’m finding myself in
The ambiance of these walls is paper thin
I see you watching
I see you watching me
Through the glass is
A delusion in
A distraction
I’ve been bubbled, stop laughing
Empty project
Leave that for someone else
Keep it together
Keep it to myself
The atmosphere between us makes it hard to breathe
The dust won’t settle running through the stampede
Every day I wonder if I got more blood on the sheets
Make your mark if there’s a spot you haven’t left on me
Find myself churning
Every mornin’
Keep on yearning
‘Til I’m worn in
Rise to the surface
Looking for what’s next
Keep on searching
Til there’s nothing left
Just move on through
Don’t let it consume you

Terrible news
I am the storm
All the chaos in my life
Keeps me warm
He told me not to control it
Let me do my thing
Angels fly
‘Cos they take life lightly
Don’t panic
Keep it organic
Keep it organic
I danced right into this space
I danced right into this space
I danced right in
I’m not into sensitivity I’m into clarity I’m into clarity
Will you even recognize me as I recreate my mind
In all the spaces left beside me making layers of my time
I exist within the fabrics of this lovely facade lovely facade
Is it forgotten?
It still persists
That feeling that you miss
Somewhere hidden
Go, find it
Go, find it
We can throw the end in here
We can throw the end in here
There is nothing to fear
If you’re not changing it
You’re choosing it
We can throw the end in here
There is nothing to fear
We can throw the end in

Are you even there

Are you even there

So Easy
03:00

It was so easy
No one would believe me
It was so easy
No one would believe me, not even me
It’s so easy it slips itself right over both my wrists
It is so easy our lips meeting for a kiss, just like this
It was so easy
No one would believe me
It was so easy
No one would believe me, not even me
I want to love you
Not take care of you
I hardly care for myself
I want to fuck you
Don’t want to fuck you
Out of being somebody else
Face urself
I see right through you
It’s like I knew you

Sending Wind
02:10
|
|||
|
Miss you as much as I don’t
Doesn’t make it any easier
I still love you the most
I meet you above the ocean in the clouds
I meet you on my lips in every cigarette
I’ll meet you there
Everybody’s hurting flirting
Deserting returning
Arriving thriving
Leaving deceiving
This evening, sending wind

Preface to me
I never learned how to be lonely
I want to make you not sad
I hope someday you’ll see
I wish I could make you feel better
I want you to be happy
I want you to be free
I want you to never think of me
I want you to cast out doubt
I want you to figure it out
I want you to learn to live without
I wish I could make you feel better

GET
04:22

|
Inside this mind‘s hollow
This chamber has no echo
It’s clay ready to mold
Ready to let go, take hold
Of this here hand
Attached to this here body
It’s sweet and it’s naughty
It’s free
Wrapped up in my own little bubble
One blow and I’m seeing double
Not anymore
Not like before
Not anymore
Not like before
Get up get out get up get out
Get what you want for yourself from yourself
