Die It (Die In Die Out)

I wanna be devoured by insects
I wanna be mauled by jungle cats
I'm sick of living in this shitty hovel
You're wearing a Rubik's Cube - what's up with that?
Let's go do something dangerous and stupid
These lines are getting longer and dark.
We'll jump off the spaceship as it takes off for flight.
We'll swallow swords on a lark.
All buckles and knobs
Bursting and twisting through the air.
Life's just too hard, why should we care?
Just kill yourself,
drop the bomb,
here's to your health, it goes
on and on and on and on.
I hope my skin unravels at the very seams
I hope we're under the bus soon.
Let's forget all these letters
and take our shot at the moon.
Even if we miss, we'll travel so far,
get far out in space and die in the stars.

This is your jetpack.
This is the laser pistol you wanted.
Here is the flying car you were promised.
These are your robotic companions, dauntless.
This is your hologram transmitter.
You'll need it for the journey ahead.
Here are the nanomachines you'll need to repair the skin that's dead.
Here's a map of where you're going, a debriefing of where you've been.
We are still waiting on the pills that will make you love again.
Here's the cryo chamber you slept in.
Here's the bulkhead door to seal in the heat.
Here's the photo you asked for,
even though it's obsolete.
Here's a report detailing how much money you will make.
We are still waiting on the vaccination against heartache.
Here's the world you always hoped for,
how could you ask for anything more?
Here's the world you always hoped for,
how could you ask for anything more?
Here's a map of where you're going, a debriefing of where you've been.
We are still waiting on the pills that will make you love again.

North Shore Concrete

There is a cicada shell of women near the river
and it is a miracle there is no wind.
The sidewalk beneath her is lightly shaded.
Her insides are the lacking of every place she's ever been.
It is a goose that shepards her along
beneath the yellow bridges.
Now every stone is her eye,
her ovaries two loving birds in the hedges.
Through this all I never move.
Her outline still embedded where the horizon meets the heavens.
And i think to myself, maybe this'll never end.
Maybe this'll never end.
Maybe I am okay.
And I talk to the goose of north shore concrete.
He keeps me company while the metal and glass
throw bits of sunset across the gap.
He unlocks my feet,
shows me every feeling anyone ever had,
that anyone ever had.

Weyland-Yutani
Something on the ship
Give the past a slip.
Hey man, you tell me
what we're supposed to do
to not end up screwed.
It's hard to give the hard times a rest
when all your problems are bursting from your chest...
Game over, man.
The darkness inside you
It'll come out like a flood
spill out with the blood.
Blackened arms reaching.
Dark tail coils like smoke.
Cryogenically woke.
It's tough to keep the tough times at bay
when you don't even have the breath to say...
Game over, man.
Do you wanna get out alive?
Do you wanna get off the ride?
Do you really think you can escape?
Do you think you can get outta this place?
No one can hear you scream in space
No one can hear you scream in space
No one can hear you scream in space
No one can hear you scream
Game over, man.
It's hard to give the hard times a rest
when all your problems are bursting from your chest...
Game over, man.

Ghost ghost ghost ghost
I'm afraid of ghosts, they are scary.
I'm afraid of ghosts, pray to St. Mary.
Ghosts are in my bed, in my house, in my head.
Ghosts are everywhere, in my lunchbox, in my hair.
Ghosts, they are transparent.
So much unlike your parents.
Contrary to popular belief, ghosts are not invisible.
It makes for quite a shocking visual.
