Yo-Yo

You don't believe me, but
Along with me, you're stuck
'Cause I will always be here
I don't mean it a threat
But it's a promise, bet
You have me forever
And every time your faith will waver,
I'll remind you that's not my behavior
No matter where life may throw me
I'll come back, to-and-fro like a yo-yo
I'll return as long as you allow me
There's no need to worry
I'll be back in a flurry-hurry
I'll love you as long as you love me
I think it's easy to
Connect my thoughts with you
But I know we still worry
Everybody leaves
But not everybody's me
You have me forever
And every time your faith may waver
I'll remind you that's not my behavior
No matter where life may throw me,
I'll come back, to-and-fro, like a yo-yo
I'll return as long as you allow me
There's no need to worry
I'll be back in a flurry-hurry
I'll love you as long as you love me
So like the sun in the sky
And the sun when it's not,
I will revolve around you
As long as you want me to
You don't believe me, but
Along with me, you're stuck
'Cause I will always be here
I don't mean it a threat
But it's a promise, bet
You have me forever
And every time your faith will waver,
I'll remind you that's not my behavior.

Dopamine Machine
03:46
|
|||
|
Don't let me figure out my true value
Because then my life will change
Everything may work to be better
But I'm not very comfortable when I have to rearrange
I'm a relic,
That's killer spelled backwards
Because I bring the life to the party
I'm fresh and fashionably tardy
When I arrive, I see the party is alive
Dopamine Machine
it's always pumping
Pumping through my veins
Making me do crazy things
What am I doing here?
Make the most of it, I derive
As the host for a vodka so-
DUH. I forgot I'm so-
BRR. Is it me or is it cold in here?
Getting side glances coming from my rear.
Is that a shot at me I hear?
Dopamine Machine
Oh, it's always pumping
Pumping through my veings
Making me do crazy things
I left early because early was late
I left early because early was late
something something
Where'd my life go? Oh, it's so late!
Here I am, floating along like a frog in the breeze
Like a fly in the breeze, breeze
I can make something of my life
Just you wait, Hon, now, just you wait
My hypothalamus says, "Hey, what's up with you?
"Don't you know that you ..... everything?"
Dopamine Machine
And it's driving me completely nuts.
Sorry, I don't know the lyrics after the second chorus :)

This was originally going to be a Sisters of Mercy type, overdramatic parody type song about COVID-19. Instead, it turned into a melodramatic shoegaze song about COVID-19.
lyrics
Everything is falling apart
Everything is falling apart
Had some money, but it's gone
Can't work until pandemic is done
Found out I'm susceptible to infection
Several friends have come and gone
What to do when everything is wrong?
People in denial
This is going to last a while
New term: Super spreader
Things are never getting any better
Everything is falling apart
Everything is falling apart
Everything is falling apart
Everything is falling apart
[3/4 Guitar break]
Everything is falling apart
Everything is falling, always falling,
Always falling apart
Everything is falling apaaaaa-aart

I've Got Two Fangs
01:32
|
|||
|
This margin of error has got me in terror
Please handle the data so I shouldn't care, or
Discard the discrepancy
I was openly mouthing off; I'm such a sharer
Nobody else around, but I found the answer
I was eavesdropping on myself
How did I end up with two fangs, two fangs?
Holy Hell, I have got two fangs, two fangs
There's no misconception;
I've had dental inspections
It's my oh-so-derisory second incisor
And I've got no pride left to lose
I'll tell you later how this sharpened masticator
Came to become once I've gathered all the data
And I'll be eavesdropping on myself
How did I end up with two fangs, two fangs?
Holy Hell, I have got two fangs, two fangs

The Last Day
01:31

I'm stuck with these lingering thoughts
It's all so unfettered until they all stop
Rewinding my time to twenty-oh-nine
September 5, 10:45
On and on they replay
It's dwindled down from everyday
Slowly I'm mending the shock
It's too hard to play it through
The scene always cuts as you,
You gasp for some air
So we know you're still there
It was so clearly through
It's like a movie:
The familiar, climactic touchstones
But it happened to me
And I can't bare to relive it alone
That's when I remember
Other people were there
A very slight difference in perspective
But essentially the same hospice air

Training Wheels
05:55
|

|
I've never once been with a person
And so I guess you'll have to show me
I don't want my state to worsen
Or to be a half-trick pony
I need your training wheels
Until I can learn to deal
I need your special skillset
Until the break
You have once allowed me access
Into your wheelhouse of wisdom
Experiences happened
But I didn't know to gift 'em
Now I'm asking for a new chance
I've more knowledge than the last time
And maybe, just by happenstance
I can make it last some more time
I need your guiding torchlight
I need to see in the night
I need your special skillset
'Til the iceberg--

Live in the Moment
04:46
|
|||
|
Time doesn't stop
Or turn the other way
It just goes on forever
Day after day
With each passing second
Another is gone
So why aren't you going
To get anything done?
People say to live in the moment
If you know how not to,
Please show me
There's no other way that time is going
No, no, no--you're staying in the present and you know it
Speed doesn't stop
As long as there's time
But I'll have to out-speed it
To revisit mine
Living outdated
We're told not to do
But as it's been proven,
You can't break this rule
People say to live in the moment
If you know how not to,
Please show me
There's no other way that time is going
No, no, no--you're staying in the present and you know it
People say to live in the moment
If you know how not to,
Please show me
There's no other way that time is going
No, no, no--you're staying in the present and you know it
