Song #167: We Killed It- Say Anything
From the album In Defense of the Genre, released October 23, 2007
"The girl could move/ and she did/ we were captives on a casino ship/ where the midwest lay out hours and burnt to crisp/ I spent a year as her hair lip/ but not I fall apart at night and dream about our trip/ but the first two weeks were great/ I felt content to watch the entertainment channel fornicate/ with flashes of you maturing into stage/ flawless masterpieces/ built of dreams I swore were memories...
/Yeah/ we killed it/ we killed it/ we killed it all night"

Song #146: The Truth Is, You Should Lie With Me- Say Anything
From the album In Defense of the Genre, released October 23, 2007
"Caught you looking at/ my reflection/ this is not the way we procreate/ give me something else/ than affection/ swollen suffering fantasy of hate/ you're a pretty face/ you should like me/ I want to get used by you/ 'cause I'm full of hate/ just excite me/ I wanna' get bruised by you/ the murder that marks you everyday/ the stain in your soul won't wash away/ we spit on the cross just like we're trained/ we scowl and screw away the pain/ but I'm up for it if you are handsome/ let's keep that morning star burning...
/when you burn in hell/ they remind you/ of all the things you've screwed up in your life/ I'll be one of them/ if you're inclined to/ turn away from the ever-glowing light/ all I want is to see through you/ if only you were alive I could trust you/ but now alone in your bed we'll prove/ you do not have to be in love to be in pain"

From the album In Defense of the Genre, released October 23, 2007
"I mean nothing/ only nothing/ there's nothing I can do about that/ I've accepted my place in the back/ this is not the place or time to snap/ I awaken to the bacon/ she's preparing for me in the pan/ but I'm spinning my head cannot stand/ effects from when the night began/ and I screw my life up evermore/ as I puke my lungs out on the floor"

"Oh wow hello!" May 5, 2013

From the EP Menorah/ Majora, released October, 2002
"I should be happy/ that I am still here/ light up a new joint/ put on an old shirt/ try to remember/ forget how my brain works...
/so I heat my breath to burning wax/ 'cause I know that spark ain't coming back...
/I've got all my friends here/ we haven't been talking as of lately/ they've all found new bros and babies/ I have smoked away my pride/ I have smoked away my pride/ there's nothing but the cinders of it inside/ but I believe in more than nothingness last year/ and under every quiet failure it's still here/ burie breathing under eighteen years of tragedy and fear/ if I could/ crawl my way out of this grave/ just think of all the time I'd save...
/the stereos playing the same old songs/ the same old songs/ but we still hum along...
/and in no time we'll be spread across the Earth/ donning business suits to show the faceless master what we're worth/ from our huggies to armani/ and it all seems to rehearsed"

"I wish I could grow a beard." April 25, 2013

From the album In Defense of the Genre, released October 23, 2007
"I'm sprinting yet I stride/ my satchel filled with files/ the secrets of the tribe/ the cameras follow me for miles/ born a slave in 1984/ discovered that my life is just a record they performed/ a maze where I was placed...
/they strapped me to the roof/ and cut right through me/ diggin' through my wounds/ I watched them hopelessly and shook/ where are my pills/ where is my former lover/ I've been betrayed by everyone I know"

"Do you have fifty cents?" "Who do you think I am, Bill Gates? Of course I don't have fifty cents." April 19, 2013

From the album Baseball, released 2001
"Here comes the sadness that I miss so much/ that lonely aching comes from every touch/ I've grown accustomed to the grays and blacks/ 'cause they're always coming back/ sit down for supper won't you dine with me/ or can't you handle seeing all I see/ I've grown too colorblind to cease my bitchin'/ and I've grown to love the pain/ and I move too slow/ and I think too fast...
/here comes a view I've seen a million times/ and here comes a boring song with thoughtless rhymes/ I know you're sick of me so tell me here/ because you could have been the one to make it all disappear/ but I move too slow/ and I think too fast"

we give up/ we give up/ we give up on all those like you"

"Crap Christ" April 12, 2013

From the album Baseball, released 2001
"My friends are/ just neighbors/ that steal from me when I'm not home/ I am/ so damn trusting/ I did not see their malice/ in this blackened wonderland/ I am the darkened Alice/ sometimes I can't fathom/ why everyone's so two-faced/ so I'll just/ backstab them/ to get them back in their place...
/I'm the ball/ they're battered/ they're climbing social ladders/ I'm left/ at the bottom"

"He shares my love of Tibetan throat singing" April 11, 2013

From the album Baseball, released 2001
"Meet me where the city turns to trees/ and nothing comes for free/ let's see just how imposing you can be to me/ so far from road-marks or homecoming games/ go on drop your fucking names/ try to shift the blame/ watch me take a crowbar/ to your brand new car/ without the things your daddy bought you/ you won't get very far without your/ plastic friends/ and your odds and ends would you still be a star/ the idle rich cocooned away from Earth/ you're cynical from birth/ tell me what you think your pride is worth to me/ when all you can do is call me gay/ sorry I don't swing that way...
/do you think you can take me now/ your only weapon is your name anyhow/ and if you think that you can take me now/ you've got another thing coming/ you think/ think/ think/ do you think I'm scared to play your games/ battle is my middle name"
