Duck

Try your best not to give a fuck
Close your mouth and act like a duck
I don’t need any words I'll just sit and quack, you know I'll never go back
It would be so easy for me since there's nothing left for me to ever see
You can catch me at the pond, I'll be floating around with a duck named Don
I don’t know why
I just want to be a duck
I see ducks flying in the sky
And I can watch them swim while I get high
It makes me happy to feed them bread so I don’t have to wish that I was dead
If I could just live this life it would be so easy for me to sleep at night
I just want to live with the ducks and never have to spend another buck
I don’t know why
I just want to be a duck

I've been searching, I've been looking all day
Just what am I trying to say
I look at you and there's nothing new
As your eyes die and they fill with goo
You don't know me but
You can see me and I know what you do
Time it goes by and you just still cry
till your head is blown
I roam the streets just to feel alive
Cause when I'm home I lose my mind
I wanna know what happened to me
My mind is so slow I hardly see
You don't know me but
You can see me and I know what you do
Time it goes by and you just still cry
till your head is blown

You've checked every single door you can find
No one can see if you're looking behind
The window is getting harder to see
It's just running away from me
Fuck you!
Nothin' to do
But every single time you're just feeling' blue
Im happy to stay but I can't waste my time
Till I lose all the things that I want in my life
Don't say what's okay like you know what to do
Till you've pushed them away from you
Fuck you!
Nothin' to do
But every single time you're just feeling' blue

Lost & Found

All these thoughts and all these dreams
that I just keep in my mind
will slow me down some day
but until then I'll keep dreaming about you
cause you're still in my head
but thinking about you will make me dead
If I don't break away soon
I might not make it back tonight
If I see you don't expect me to look nice
cause life's just moving too fast for me to realize what is wrong
I'm lost and found in my head
I have this lonely feeling from my silence
I'll keep searching for what I have lost and
I'm going somewhere I have never been before
You're so fine and I'm so mean
But I only met you in a dream
My brain's corrupted in a haze
and it makes me caught up in a daze
I don't ever have the time to
calm things down and soothe my mind
So I'm just stuck feeling on edge
Thinking about all the things I could do today
If I go out will it make me feel any better
will I know what to do
when I go out searching for you
I'm lost and found in my head
I have this lonely feeling from my silence
I'll keep searching for what I have lost and
I'm going somewhere I have never been before

I have been lost in my head
And I can't sleep in my bed
But I don’t have much to show
I know its all say
But I can't feel anyways
Its supposed to be so easy
But somethings always eating me
Somethings sucking on my brain
But I've been numbed to the pain
I don't know what I'm losing
I know its all say
But I can't feel anyways
Its supposed to be so easy
But somethings always eating me

Buried

When the suns setting in the sky
Thats when they open their eyes
If they catch you out on your own
They'll skin you to a pile of bones
All alone
Loss of hope
See them coming
To steal your soul
I've seen them drown a man in mud
They laughed when he just tried to run
If you think they aren't watching you
Thats when you'll end up like him too
Don’t you see it now
They'll take your life, and you know how
Won't you be the most
Easy victim to the ghosts

When I hear you talking
I don't feel anything inside
what do I say to you
I'm not making any sense at all
I just sit alone
I don't wanna see you on my phone
When I woke this morning
You weren't the first thing on my mind
Things aren't starting to look too good
and I've grown outside of my mind
I don't know you anymore and
It's shown that I'm too distant
Why haven't I told you yet that
I've grown outside of my mind
I'm starting to lose my sight and
It's shown that I'm too distant
I can't think too straight
because I'm caught up in my mind
I still feel like a child
runnin down these streets by myself
and I have reached the end
and things are starting to change
and I won't feel anything
If I don't re arrange
Things aren't starting to look too good
and I've grown outside of my mind
I don't know you anymore and
It's shown that I'm too distant
Why haven't I told you yet that
I've grown outside of my mind
I'm starting to lose my sight and
It's shown that I'm too distant

Jeff Feels Better

Murdered at birth and I feel my head
Drift into the silence from my breath
I can't tell anymore
What was there or what was said
I talk to strangers cause they are my friends
Outsiders they will never understand
What I've made in my own world
That has taken over my head
Jeff: "Well the fact of the matter is I live a very boring life"
I feel what I can't see, as you're taken away from me
Jeff: "Bill I just wanted to be the first customer at my new lemonade stand"
Am I talking to myself? Do these names mean anything?
I'm alone but I feel they are here
You hear my voice and your head is filled with fear
I added you here to stay
But you're starting to drift away
I'm a faceless ghost you can call me a king
An archangel searching for someone to sing
The song that's in my head
I'll wake up to find you dead
Jeff: "No I'm not drunk umm.. my name is Jeff"
"Life... Life... Whats a life?"
"Well, its uh in a box, uhmm in the kitchen cabinet, and you usually have it for breakfast."
Its too good to true
That I am using you
Sit back and watch my show
And burn away so slow
Eat me!
Hacking in again
Its not me!
Its just the photos and the things you read
Trying to find your own perfection
All I need is some affection
Hack me!
What is in my head?
Did you steal what I said?
My eyes
They still grow
But when will I know?
When your mind has decayed
From the mess that you've made
Eat me!
I know what you fear
Its all the people that you're near
My skin I peel
For what I reveal
Hacking in again
Its all you!
You think you're hidden but I see you
You know I'm insane
But I don’t even know my brain
Hack me!
What do you see
Someone that's not me
The war inside my head
Will go till I'm dead
I must try to feel better
I'm starting to feel better
Jeff:
"First of all, Madonna and I We started dating, um, August of uh 2017. And um, you know I was gonna marry her, you know along with some other ladies, there's, uh.. many here now. And everybody was compatible everybody loved Madonna, she used write me love letters every day, on-, through direct message in one of the chat groups we had. And she was just so sweet and adorable and lovable. Well what happened was, is uh, we had an enemy who was trying to hack in, same person who killed Samuel L. Jackson. Now Samuel L. Jackson, you know, you could see him on, you know, TV any night but that's his double. But the police did the investigation, Samuel L. Jackson and family were 'killed' by this guy who used to be on one of our chat groups. And uh he's a um, NBA Player."
"We're afraid to comment. We're afraid to comment."
"When you say 'anything' uh, anything or anyone? Because anything can be a lotta different things, I dunno uh. Any-THING, uhh like, you mean like a balloon? Any-THING, uhhh, the TV set? I dunno anything. You said 'bro you don’t understand anything' uhh.. a pencil?"
"Bill you had mentioned something about being an artist.. with.. um.. asparagus. Mental conditions or something. Yeah! Um... the conditions uh.. like I use hair condition, hair condition in my hair Bill! When I take a shower. Uhm, you know, its that, I dunno if you've ever used it its like this real gooey stuff and you put it in your hair after you shampoo!"
"I was diagnosed with an ankle sprain heheh. But you know it got better
after I uh, put ice cream on it."
"I didn't know you could BE drunk like an asparagus!"
"I live with my face every day. I've had my face since I was 1 year old, suck on my mothers breast. I mean uh, I don’t wanna look at any mans face, myself included. I don’t take photos of myself cause men are not attractive looking. Theres no man on earth that's pretty. Theres none. And, and then there's women that are ugly too. I mean ther- not all women are pretty"
"Uhmm why? Well its uh, its a parallel to the United States of America, its a kingdom. And I'm the head of the kingdom. But, I'm also, um, we're restructuring the United States government. Its no longer democratic its now theocratic. Um, but the population doesn't know about it only just the leaders of It know about it. Its been a lot of things transpired over
the last several months."
"Oh my god its gonna destroy the earth if its not made manifest today that I'm president of the United States. I was signed in, one FUCKING YEAR AGO, by a marine general and the navy admiral. After, Barack Obama died! I was his Vice President! AND I'M STILL NOT FUCKIN KNOWN AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. AND WE WARRED AGAINST FUCKIN EVERY COUNTRY AND WE DESTROYED RUSSIA AND CHINA.
WHAT THE FUCK?
Joe was pissed and so was I man.
Damn man

FUCKED UP COUNTRY THE UNITED STATES IS
ITS FUCKED UP!"

Sittin back in my cozy coupe
sipping on my cream of crab soup
smelling that back river stench
I saw you sitting on the bench
you look so sweet and you look so fine
and I really wanna make you mine
there's just one thing ya gotta know
before our loving starts to show
I aint from Catonsville
and I aint from Owings Mills
I aint from Cockeysville
and I aint from Ellicott City
Where I'm from is trashy and small
I know you haven't seen it all
from Middle River to Deep Creek
It's where we're from and we want you to see that
We are just Essex Boys
we don't care about the noise
we wanna grow our hair
and act like we don't care
You can find me in the Essex woods
swimming in shit water just as I should
Then I'll skate my way past Eastern Avenue
just looking around for something I can do
You and me, you can bring your joints
we'll make our down to Cox's Point
we'll sit on down in front of the bay
watching the sunset as our fears fade away
Some say this town is too small
but I don't feel that way at all
I guess some people just don't seem
to find the beauty in the garbage I see
One day when we're roaming around
right by your hometown
we'll knock on your door just to say
WE ARE ESSEX BOYS AND WERE HERE TO STAY
We are just Essex Boys
we don't care about the noise
we wanna grow our hair
and act like we don't care
