IT’S BETTER THAN DRINKING A CUP OF YOUR COAL
IT’S MORE THAN YOU KNOW
IT’S NOT LIKE THE BACK OF A SUIT ON PATROL
IT’S MORE THAN YOU KNOW
SO LET IT PATROL
I WALKED DOWN TO A FOUNTAIN
AND I FELT THE GRASS TODAY
I SAT DOWN, AND IT AMOUNTED
IT WAS A PART OF ME
TAKE ME OFF NOW
RIP UP A LIST
PUT IT BACK INTO YOUR FIST
TAKE ME TO A PLACE WHERE I CAN BUILD A SHELF
WITH NO ONE ELSE
TAKE ME TO A PLACE WHERE I CAN DO MY HEALTH
WITH NO ONE ELSE
TAKE ME TO A PLACE WHERE I CAN BE MYSELF
WITH NO ONE ELSE

YOU’RE TALKING TO ME NOW
BUT I CAN’T HEAR YOU
WHEN I SEE YOU IN THE PARK
WHEN YOU’RE WALKING AFTER DARK
YOUR BODY WILL ASCEND
MY MIND WILL OCCUPY THE SPACE THAT YOU WERE IN
WILL I SEE THROUGH
I SEE THROUGH THE NIGHT
WALKING BACK TO YOUR HOME
THERE’S A CLOCK LOOKING OVER ME
MOWED ONTO LAWNS
MOWED ONTO STAIRS
TO COMPARE

ROBBY IN THE OFFICE
WORKING SAFELY
FINISHING A TASK
FINISHING IT FAST
I’LL BE WORKING TOO
MOVING FASTER
PUSHING OUT A PLAN
FABRICATE BY HAND
I’VE BEEN SPENDING ALL I AM
CUT THE SKIN OFF OF YOUR NECK
BREAK IT DOWN
ALL OVER YOUR HEADS
OVER YOUR HEADS
FROM THE TALLEST TREE
TO THE MOUNTAIN BELOW
IT’S OVER YOUR HEAD

INDUSTRY WILL PAY YOU BACK IN GOLD
SO WHAT’S WRONG
SINCE IT PAYS THE BILLS YEAH, YEAH
AND I GOT NOTHING WRONG WITH THE NEXT ONE HERE
AND THAT’S WHY
IT’S BETTER WHEN IT’S NOT SO CLEAR
YOU’VE GOT SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO SHOW
BUT I’M GONE
HAVE YOU FOUND MY PLACE YET-YET
AND I DON’T THINK THAT I’LL BE BACK IN TIME FOR MIDNIGHT
BECAUSE I’D RATHER SEE THE BIRDS IN FLIGHT
SO TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT AND I’LL BE HOME NOW
IF I CAN’T MAKE IT
WOULD YOU LEAVE A NOTE OUT-OUT
AND I’VE BEEN IN SO LONG THAT I’M NOT RIPE NOW
SO I THINK IT’S BETTER IF YOU DON’T ASK HOW
SO LET IT INTERFERE AND WATCH ME TURN
MY OUTPUT IS NOT THE MOST BUT IT’S STILL THERE
AND I TRY PUT MYSELF BACK IN PLACE
CAUSE I’M STILL WAITING FOR A TASTE

I WAS JUST SEARCHING FOR ANY CLUES
ANY CLUES AT ALL
SEARCHING THROUGH YOUR STUFF
TRYING TO FIND WHERE YOU GOT OFF
THERE’S NO REASON TO TURN AWAY
THERE’S NO PURPOSE TO THE GAMES
THE GAMES WE PLAY
I LOST YOU, AND NOW YOU’RE FOUND AGAIN
BUT THEN I LOST YOU, AND NOW YOU’RE FOUND
IN A HOLE
BY YOURSELF AND BY MY SIDE
THERE’S NO CHARITY
TO HELP YOU UP TO GET YOU BY
IF YOU’VE BEEN WONDERING
WHY I SAY THE WORDS I DO
THERE’S NO PURPOSE OF WHAT I SAY
I SAY TO YOU

HE GOES ALL DAY
IT’S BETTER THAN THAT, BUT
HE CAN’T AVOID PICKING UP SLACK
HE LIKES THE SOUND THAT THE COIN MAKES
WHEN HE DROPS IT
DOWN, ONTO THE GROUND
HE’LL SPEND THE NIGHT IN A ROOM WITH A BROKEN WINDOW
VELVET TONE THAT’S THICK AS A BONE
IT’S NECESSARY TO FILL THE VOID
AND TESSELLATE TO PROJECT A NOISE
HE GOES DOWNTOWN TO BUY SOME NEW EQUIPMENT
A LOUD AMP AND A SERIES OF OSCILLATING PEDALS
HE’S GOT A DEVICE THAT CAN TURN SOUND INTO ELECTRICITY
AND BROADCAST A SIGNAL WITH ACUTE SPECIFICITY
AND HE’LL GO DOWN UNTIL HE’S GONE

MAKE A BED OR SHAVE MY HEAD
WAKE ME UP, I’LL DO IT ALL THE TIME
I HAVE THE MEANS TO MEMORIZE A LINE, BUT
IT’S BEEN HARD, MY MIND IS FAR
IT’S IN THE BACK COLLECTING ON THE GROUND
IN THE DIRT, IT’S PICKING UP A SOUND
WE GOT TO THE CHORUS AT A QUARTER TO FOUR
THE KINGS WERE ALL READY, AND THEIR CONSCIENCE WAS POOR
WE SAT DOWN AT THE TABLE, THEY’LL MEET OUR DEMANDS
WE GOT WHAT WE WANTED AND WE SLICED OFF THEIR HANDS
WE RAN OUT QUICK, FAST AS A NAIL
JUMPED ON OVER, GOT COMPANY BAIL
NEVER WAS LOST, ALWAYS ON TIME
CATHOLIC GLASS, I’M DOING FINE
ON A CLOCK I’VE BUILT A LOT
WORK A LINE, ENSURE THE FLOOR IS CLEAN
TURN A SWITCH TO ELEVATE A BEAM
I’M A WASTE, I’VE BEEN FOR DAYS
CALCULATE A SIMPLE PIECE OF MATH
CALIBRATE A BROKEN SIGNAL PATH

WHERE DEATH LAYS, BIRTH IS BORN AGAIN
HE WAS A CHILD, SILLY DUMB CHILD
SHREDDED WET GRASS, HE LETS IT PASS AGAIN
PETALS TURN THROUGH, SLOWLY GO TO
A QUIET BED, SOIL IS TURNED
NO CURLED TOES, PLEASURE IS LEARNED
TOUCHING A FACE, RESTING IN PLACE AGAIN
SNOW BENT THRILLS, TAKING A MOUNTAINTOP
GRAIN WILL BE MILLED, MAN WILL BE KILLED
MIDNIGHT CALLS, LOOSE BREATH FALLS AGAIN
INTO A JAR, FOG IN A CAR
BACK IN THE FIELD, PRODUCT WILL YIELD
BURDEN TO REAP, NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP
READING A NOTE, BUILDING BOAT [A-HOO]

HOLLOW
04:18

|
AS MY THROAT GROWS SHALLOW
MY BRAIN REMAINS THE SAME AS IT ALWAYS WAS
AND ALWAYS WILL BE
IT’S HOLLOW, HOLLOW LIKE THE SUNRISE
IT DOESN’T MATTER MUCH TO ME
IT’S JUST A SCENE
A VISION, ENVISION
THE GARBAGE CONDITION OF MY BED
AND IN MY HEAD
I’VE BEEN TRYING, PRACTICE REALIZING
I CAN BE REPLACED
AND I’M JUST A DYING, COFFIN-OCCUPYING
SHELL TO BE ERASED
OR AM I DECAL?
REMOVE ME FOR FREE NOW
I’VE BEEN MAKING WASTE
[AND I’M JUST A FUNCTION
NOTHING CAN BE SUNKEN
UNDER MY REMAINS]
MY THROAT STILL WALLOWS
AND MY BRAIN JUMPS AHEAD TO ANOTHER LIGHT
THAT NO ONE WILL SEE
HAPPINESS, HAPPINESS WILL FIND YOU
JUST GOT TO GET ENOUGH SLEEP, AND ENOUGH DREAMS
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE, IMPROBABLE
INTELLIGENT, INSUFFERABLE
AND NO ONE KNOWS MY NAME

Braindrops

This album took a few listens to really get into. There were songs that stood out which kept me coming back (namely the first 3 tracks) until the whole album started to click. That being said, it’s a phenomenal album. As others have stated it captures a broad range of emotion. Songs such as “The Happiest Guy Around†and “Aspirin,†without being too melodramatic and retaining some “fun,†perfectly capture that brain dead lethargy that comes with being depressed or burnt out.
