you don't know how to do this
call you Cher, 'cause you're clueless
you can call me Paul Simon
'Cause my soul has got diamonds
who is asking who over
to jam like it's exposure?
tiers of a pagoda
4-leaves of a clover
don't give a shit 'cause i'm high now
life's a bitch i say, "bye now"
off the grid, i'm not lined up

mark e. smith, "i don't wanna be a victim"
paid my dues & still i face eviction
look at you, you're so scared of my conviction
when i speak my truth you speculate addiction
victim, i don't wanna be a victim
it's not nice of you to stigmatize conditions
i see patterns, think you know my predilection
only lost a friend because you couldn't listen
let's bring it down, i'll play a younger self
fuck off, man. i don't need your help
when i'm home i feel one foot tall
& when i'm here i don't feel at all
hold on too long it'll do you harm
MicTV, the name is Dylan Barnes
please stay back by about an arm
i'm angry so don't be alarmed
yeah, i watched NBC last week
also the household harassed me
money, that shit is so ass cheeks
just don't eat shit if you ask me
gave back my rent-to-own saxophone
it all turned out just to be a loan
it fees so good just to be alone
never understood what was so wrong
oh, you're calling me crazy?
when you've never left AZ?
well i think that's amazing
you never cease to amaze me
you're calling me crazy?
when you live in the '80s?
well i think that's amazing
you never cease to amaze me

i remember Congress, 4am bongrips
trying to work my way through school
somewhere 'round my conscience
started feeling noxious
pouring up shots like "Swimming Pools"
everything's obnoxious
now i'm on my pop shit
saw Daniel Johnston sit in drool
now i'm outta options
mt. dew fountains
i never tried to play it cool
boss asked in the car
why i make life hard
i said, "lets not start
we're not going far, no"

(mind your soul, mind controlla)
yeah, you said i looked like a king
chicken with no head, i was running things
like a bird i would learn how to sing
Fatman Kitchen with the chicken wings
no one ever said that i wasn't mean
you & i both know we're human beings
(mind your soul, mind controlla)
i'm fake
you're fake
let's hate
oh no, too late

it's that time of year
new foster beneath the christmas tree
i can't keep with the pace
the sun falls by 5:30
i can march into the pain
i can hold onto old things
with some newfangled trade
easy 'cause nothing else is
it's that time of year
it's that time of year again
who let the darkness slip in?
ouu don't see your friends?
chase the darkness again
stuck in a cycle, stuck in a cycle
'nough with the present, give us the presence
stuck in a cycle, stuck in a cycle
'nough with presence, give us depression
get with the cycle, get with the cycle
stuck in the present, 'nough with depression
get with the present, get with the present
'nough with the cycle, stuck in depression
stuck in a cycle, stuck in a cycle
stuck in a cycle, stuck in a cycle
(stuck in a cycle again and again and again and again)
stuck in a cycle, stuck in a cycle
stuck in a cycle, stuck in a cycle
(again and again and again and again and)

mom left me alone, dad left me
rodney dangerfield no one respects me
the family dog's the only one who'd accept me
my brothers would pin me down
have me turn my back to the wall
have me block the hits i couldn't see
all part of the training 'n all
i see it now, know i love y'all
mr. harrison introduced me to the game
had me switching up sections, both sides of the brain
all-the-while got one foot in the grave
raised by the village idiot, had a tv addiction
still get a weird feeling when i enter the kitchen
i told my grandparents, i'm not sure what they did
charlie told me grandpa threw around ray as a kid
like james did
now i picture my ma creating the same space, a different face
frozen as the screen that took her place
this isn't the blueprint you know where i am
a hit is a hit i'm a defensive man
a hit is a hit i won't get hit again
defensive as i am, either way i'm damned
a hit is a hit i'm a defensive man

this shit is coming to you live form a rental
you live in the details you meet the devil
but i'm a conductor, i'm just a product of
my enviornment, it's why i'm so disheveled
just missed *beep beep beep beep beep*
call me roadrunner i go meep meep meep
wrapped in weed like a musabi
couldn't go back to Waikikikiki
little french piggie i go "oui oui oui"
on my way home to just me me me
time, i always read signs
sometimes i ignore 'em
then i don't
it's not deep deep deep
my memories try to keep a hold of me
oh, memories seem to keep on living
even when i don't
even when i don't
even when i don't
yeah
