the screen's light has gone out trying to sleep in this house i'll die a million deaths before the morning comes and what i'm supposed to do when i look up at the sky and i see that it is blue but i don't wanna see it anymore you told me the truth just yesterday you said you don't feel the same but that's okay 'cause if you go i guess that i can stay i spent so many months just looking off that bridge that i don't know where i live 'cause where you live is where your life is and there's no life here.

Robespierre was killed by a blade that fell with the whole world’s weight you told me you wanted to kill a cop while waiting for Marat’s bath to finally be drawn he said the Leftover Crack show was full of jocks and preps and that made him love the show a little less i said no no no, forget stereotypes if you’re coming to learn then you’re doing it right. So sing with me, sing with me, sing with me, all night long take comfort in knowing it’s a tradition of freedom sing with me, sing with me, sing with me, all night long and don’t the confusion confuse what side you're on. In the summer of 1895 Allen, Verity and O’dell went to find a little piece of land that they could share and started the Home community there it was a free and communal place free from the corruption of the state until one day some wanted to swim nude and a few of the others seemed to think that was rude. It seems to me if you believe in freedom you should believe in the freedom of other people those who coerce their friends in their lives i wonder how they sleep at night those who hated naked swimming hate the state too ‘til it’s in their best interest they went to the courts to state their case and dug the home community’s grave. This is an open invitation to go far away because it’s not immediate, smashing the state up on the moon or back home in Maine we can go somewhere to be free someday let’s build a rocket fueled by vegetable oil or maybe live like worms under the soil one way or another let’s find a place where the good in humans can stop going to waste.

To the Canal 02:00
Pretty Ty, he says to me that down here in DC we only smoke these it was PCP but he did not tell me i got lost on Potomac St. in what he said to me i'm going down i'm going down i'm going down down down to the canal. so you can stop and stare i don't really care i'm not really there just some bones in some clothes i wear so when you stop and stare i would shoot Voltaire if i even cared i'm going down i'm going down i'm going down down down to the canal. what was that thing what was that thing that we used to have? if i could remember i'm singin', if only i could remember i think i could get it back. but i'm going down. i'm going down. i'm going down down to the canal.
