Shut Up
02:52

I can't make sense of anything
We were a palatable substance
We were a thing that used to make me feel alive
Before I knew that I could never really feel alive
cuz I found later really nothing
Mattered not to me at least anyway
And everything in me's screaming "it's okay"
But I can never trust me
The guy from last night just won't shut up about his feelings
The guy from right now just wants to stare up at the ceiling
But neither wants to listen to anything I'm saying
So I will never trust a mirror person again
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
Enough is enough, just let me go
If it sounds like I'm talking about you
If it sounds like the warnings are coming true
I just started doubting everything I've done
Little pieces of the truth inside a song
I used to call it my religion
But I don't really think I have one anymore
Been pulling teeth just to meet the quota
Keeping up with my friends, looking up to Lola Tried
Just twist it up and turn it into something
But all that comes out is, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts"
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
Enough is enough, just let me go
If it sounds like I'm singing about you
If it sounds like the warnings are clipping through
I can't make sense of anything

No, I'm never gonna sleep again
I'll be lucky wide awake for my whole life
If you want
But I never want me dreaming again
I need things to opt in for a change
It's too hard
Waiting for the colors to change
Watching all the patterns waining
I've been trying to allow myself
To make interpretations of the things I see
That help me
And pay mind to what opens my eyes
I'm tired of being a victim to such simple things
It's easy
If you really want it to be
I'm not sure I want to change
Whatever I want must be
Whatever I need must be
Whatever I see must be
Whatever I came for
Maybe I'm done thinking about it
Sure enough they'll come and take my place
They'll come to take me in the night one of these days
I promise
They're gonna prove that all my words are wrong
With their language and their talent
And their youthful songs about me
Waning, waiting, dying
Trying hard not to be scared of what I am
Must be whatever I can do
To prove that I'm just a man
Too sick to stick to their plan
Honestly, all that I want must be
Whatever I need must be
whatever I see must be
Whatever I came for maybe I'm
Done thinking about it now

How
How does it feel
To be so awfully complete
That you call your mom every week honestly
How
What is it like
To know yourself so well within your prime
I used to wanna be like you
To walk and smoke like you but
Sentimental shifts divide us
Into separate drifting islands
Once I think I met the lord
And he took some time to sit
And fill me in on her grand cosmis plan
But then I went home
And I got so high that I forgot it all
I used to wanna be like you
To walk and smoke like you but
Continental shifts divide us
Into separate drifting islands
If we're supposed to be together
Well, I don't know if it's worth the gold
And if it wasn't for this modern weather
I'd come over more
And it hurts, it hurts
This spinning mess
It hurts, it hurts
The holy lense
It hurts, it hurts
The running clock
That hangs itself up on the wall
And it hurts, it hurts
My bank account
It hurts, it hurts
The atom bomb
It hurts, it hurts
This well we found
That I still wish had just let us all drown

Now, I have never seen the future
But I am sure that there is something talking back
Its voice has got me believing
In delusions that trace back to easy minds
And no, there's probably nothing better
Honey, than the sound this air can make
But I think I see us leaving
It's only common sense
I thought that I could fix it
I could fix it
I could fix it
I thought that I would be able to turn my back
Walk it off somehow
But it's still there, my head still hurts
It still reminds me of before
My eyes hit the floor and stayed there
This life has got me reeling
Cheating, breaking my own back
It's only later in the early
Hours that I see I've met my match
In unbelievable catastrophes
That shakes me down to
Rubble on a track
That only leads me to conclusions
Ending in question marks
Ending in question marks
Ending in question marks
Ending in question marks
That are so invincible now
Sent to take me down, down, down

Garbage Song
03:38
|

|
I stared with my eyes wide open
When you opened the machine in your head
And I saw the light
Or at least I think it was a light
You can never be too sure
I've got pretty bad eyesight
The death is inside me
I am the black hole in my body
I went to the store
And stared at cereal boes for like twenty minutes
And I didn't know
If I even had the right to say that I needed you
But I needed you
And I thought to call you up just to let you know
I'm so shy it's had to tell if I'm even home
And I felt shameful hiding behind closed doors
Like some god damn gremlin
A 27 year old gremlin with some teenage problems
I am shoe in for a coffin full of longing
I stared with my mind wide open
When you opened the door and I saw your face
And I thought wow, now that's a face
Baby don't you try and comfort me
Don't you know I'm unfixable
I accept my lot in this life gleefully, undoubtedly
Like some schmuck pushing a boulder up a hill
Or some schmuck staring a shadows on a wall in a cave
I don't care
I just want the you and me to work out
Nothing takes me out of this world full of garbage
Nothing takes me out of my self medicated madness
Nothing will stray me from this path of whatever I've become
No, nothing can stop us now
That we are metal in the flesh
Full of hunger and obsessed
With the nothing in our hearts
There is nothing in our soul
There is nothing in my spirit
Except you
So there's that

All My Friends
03:08
|
|||
|
All alone by the telephone
Where what I need is a mystery
Days go by so restlessly
That I take my time with each
And it takes me by surprise
When it makes me feel alive
Waiting for something else to bring
Peace to my own corner of the brink
All my friends seem to get it right
Well, I just want rest
Or something else
But she makes it feel alright
When she picks apart my mind
Yeah she breaks me with those wide eyes
So damn lovely that they
Tear me up inside
Grinding days while the pressure builds
I can’t keep up while my mind’s so still
Losing way to get rid of me
While she still seems so
And the weight keeps pushing down
Taking over every sound
Yeah it washes over my needs
While its colors all surround me
Yeah she breaks me with those wide eyes
So damn lovely that they tear me up inside

Watching
03:06

You've got a light inside your eyes
That keeps me wondering to you
Light the waves to the shore or, I don't know
You've got a light inside your eyes
That keeps me gandering at you
Like a moth to a flame or
Something dumb like that
You came and woke me, broke me up
These changes last and draw a map to
A little light
Inside your mind that twists and breaks my stupid doubt
And turns it into something wonderful
Like keeping time or a third harmony
Or that feeling that you get
When you wake up in a morning that you've seen before
I'm wide awake and watching you
No tv's gonna tell the truth
There's nothing better than your touch
There's something happening to us
Shave me down and brand your name onto my ass
I'll be your property
Your very bestest friend
Tie me down or shackle me
I'll never leave so what is really the difference
Are you listening
Cuz I'm listening

Don't Worry About Me
02:34
|
|||
|
Souless I stare at the window
Hoping time passes without me noticing
This year has been tough on me
Slow down, start from the begining
Take me back to days that remind me of a life
Where nothing could matter
I am tired of the rat race
I'm giving up my conviction
I'm letting go of something
Far too vague to speak of
I just wanna grow old and die
Please give me my life back
How is this supposed to keep moving
When the weight is burying our kids
We need their light to power our cities
I am taking up a murderous route
I'm putting my own body down
This earth was made for battle
But I was built too tender
Do you just wanna grow old and die
And turn our lives into one
Like it matters
Like it matters

All My Life
02:36
|
|||
|
Something awful calls my name
From places I have never ever craved
It's crawling up and down my spine
It takes control of something in my head
Through all my life
I've seen my final resting place
Within a mirror lying to my face
I called her before it went black
Mom, look, I'm doing it, I'm breaking my back
Through all my life
All my life
All my life
All my life
All my life
Something else is calling me
From places I have never ever seen

Atrophy
01:55
|
|||
|
I can't sleep like I used to do
I can't dream like a book or talk to you
I saw the sun today and it amazed me, it amazed me
I would've left so long ago
Turn my back on this, let it lose control
So I said thank you
I said thank you
I said thank you
Back in the mirror and I'm looking thin
I've given in to the belief that it will
Never be okay again
So just leave me where my body is
And let it go to atrophy because
I don't feel like a sun anymore
More like a black hole with bad eyesight
And death on his breath
And death on his breath
And death on his breath
And death on his breath

Boulder Of Salt
03:08
|
|||
|
Take everything I say
With a boulder of salt or a pile of bodies
It isn't fair
How I turn to dust when she's around me
Oh no
Nothing changes in this town
Made up of the same faces
I drown in a pool of my own arrogance
Or it might be the booze
Yeah, that's probably right
I can't go on like this
It's all a waste of time I throw
My hands up and admit defeat against the scenery
With everything I hear
The game changes I was not prepared to feel
So redundant in my early years
When it's all breathing down on me
I just wanna feel your body on my body baby
I even made us a website
Isn't that neat
I can't go on like this
It's all a waste of time I throw
Up behind the shed
And hope that no one heard it
In the back of my mind
I know it's wrong but I keep trying
Cuz I cant stay down even though it leaves me crying
And im in love, i will fight the evil patriarchy with you
And let them drown in industry
No, nothing's gone
It's just all been rearranged
This world is new
And that is good
Cuz I was hoping for a change

It's Never Been So Easy
03:03
|
|||
|
We sleep late and both age at the same rate
We are free within our realm of possibility
Each day I feel like this will be forever
Each day I change just a little bit
Let's ignore our responsibilities
Let's do away with any company
Let's move away to north Alaska where we
Can sit and bullshit till we die of old age
Let's make it easy for ourselves
And take it east on ourselves
Let's make it easy for our dying cells
And take it easy on ourselves
Never afraid of any haters with ill words
We're just too dope, and way sicker than their songs
And when I look at us so high above them
It's then I know just what I really want
Let's do away with both our birthdays
And celebrate a brand new date
One of love, life, and empathy
What you want, what I want
Will never be so different
Where you are, where I am
Will never be so different
