Have you seen this new ASMR? Where they squeeze Sponges filled with soapy foam And scrape away the stars To gratify the hair upon your arms And keep you whistling Keep me on fire, keep me on fire, I'll be alright Keep me on fire, I'll be alright, I'll be just fine Into the burning gaze Winds will obscure my ashes Call me a liar cause I'm so alive Have you seen this new ASMR? Yes indeed Or maybe you've texted the wrong guy Have you seen the time? Gotta go do crimes (Oh no) But there's cupcakеs in the fridge To keep you whistling Keep me on firе (Now you know how I feel) (Say you can handle that my love is for real) (Please say you always borrow more than you steal) The milk has expired so call me a liar but now I'm inspired to plant some more TREES Keep me on fire, keep me on fire, I'll be alright Keep me on fire, I'll be alright, I'll be just fine Into the burning gaze Winds will obscure my ashes Call me a liar cause I'm so alive Keep me on fire (Now you know how I feel) Keep me on fire (Now you know my love's real) I was expired, I was inspired into the night Call me a liar cause I'm so alive I'm so alive I'm so alive (You that I love, you that I like) I'm so alive (You that I love, you that I like) I'm so alive

Close Talker 02:24
tell me all the things that you know about don't wanna look it up, wanna hear from u and even though i dono what you're talkin bout I know that every word that you say is true Tongue tie the new close talker Close call for anyone listenin Tongue tie the new close talker Close call for anyone, listen in Class clowns and funeral marchers Cast call the moon night monsters Tongue tie the new close talker In half time I think its kind of cute how you chase clout I hate the way you dance hoping they approve but maybe all that just reminds me of myself I hate the part of me that I see in you So I won't talk trash, I won't talk back you heard me I'm learning every time when I speak those lines I broadcast insecurity Tongue tie the new close talker Close call for anyone listenin Tongue tie the new close talker Close call for anyone, listen in Class clowns and funeral marchers Cast call the moon night monsters Tongue tie the new close talker In half time Talk is cheap so you can't talk fast But now I'm in a hurry so you better talk fast I can't keep track, can you repeat that? One more time

gumdrops 03:27
Lately The days all blend together The same things And melancholy nights Sunbeams Might change up the weather But in my dreams I wonder where you are You're just on the horizon Though I know not to indulge, darling I'm looking high and low For my gumdrops I left them on the counter Gumdrops Someone hid the jar, darling The simple pleasure keeps my last 2 brain cells From wondering where you are You saw me at thе turnstile And I said I'm doing fine, darling In one word wе said goodbye That's the scene in my mind As I eat my gumdrops They taste so sweet and sour Gumdrops They're never very far, darling The simple pleasure keeps my last two braincells From wondering where you are From my gumdrops I left them on the counter Gumdrops Someone hid the jar, darling The simple pleasure keeps my last two brain cells From wondering where you are I wonder where you are I gaze upon the stars And wonder where you are I wonder where you are

TUBE 02:24
I am enamored by your love I'm an animal Enamored by you Who am I to deny your light On your light I rely You're the love by which I'm defined (I'm defined) I am an island in the sky A denial of islands in you You're the sun, I'm the moon, I'm the sea But I'm bound by the trees And I live to protect your peace All the time But I'm stuck in a Tube I'm a bastard The two dimensions in which I'm confined For all time I'm a sun, I'm a moon, I'm a tree Your light invigorates my leaves But my longest branch can't reach You know why I can't be a seed You know that I'm stuck in a Tube I'm a bastard The two dimensions in which I'm confined Are dooming me to choose from left or right Choose (Your master) The metal pipe in which you will reside For all time

There's nothing funny I'm running from the wreckage I wrote I'm passin on the gas and I choked (It's just a joke) I didn't get the joke now I cope by eating cornflakes There's no laughin when I'm snackin on the dfjshdhasdkjsdfnnsda (SCOTT) Now you know to never ever ever do it again Next time you do it where a diaper when you shit in the bed Next time you do it where a condom during sex with your friends (SCOTT) We can't be friends When this is over we will all look back and laugh Ha, ha look at the past it was bad Now I've got new shoes and a brand new sweater Look at my life! It's getting so much better It's getting so much better. My name is richard and I'm very afraid My name is henry and I'm very afraid, I'm afraid My name is wayne and I'm very afraid My name is james and I'm very afraid, I'm afraid My name is richard and I'm very afraid My name is henry and I'm very afraid, I'm afraid My name is wayne and I'm very afraid My name is james and I'm very afraid, I'm afraid There's no more laughin I'm suckin on the puns and I choked I clowned till I drowned in the smoke (Don't smoke) Deleting all my tweets every time I get stoned I broke my funny bone throw me a phone (There's nothing funny) And now I know to never ever ever ever do it to me This time I'll wear a diaper while I take a shit on my energy This time I'll wear a condom during sex with my enemies (SCOTT) Am I an enemy? You are my best friend Our friendship will never come to an end and I'm enamored by the vibes you send Roses are red, violets are blue And I think you are a cool guy, bro you shine bright Bro you shine bright Bro you shine bright (There's nothing funny) Bro you shine bright (It's not funny) Bro you shine bright (It's just a joke)

Nice to meet ya! i'm digging a hole I'll never give you the remote control I'm calling as I'm falling down the same hole that I dug last time I wanna see ya! Or maybe I don't You'll run for miles when you see my hole I'm sprawling as I'm crawling down the crevasse where I keep my crumbs The moon is howling at my window Let me cook my feast For the queen, for the queen, for the Put it in the ground, put it in the ground The careless oxen yawn and mangle songs stuck in their throats For the queen to rectify the bad blood with her ghost Don't throw out your rusty shovel guess who just struck gold In the hole, in the hole, in the Keep it in the ground, keep it in the ground

Who's gonna call ya name? Ya never really get any younger How long will you wait? You're waiting for an angel up high To swoop on down and bring you to light You'd rather wait forever than try When you were half your age The jitters put a ball in your throat It made stuff hard to say But now we're not in 2005 Cause every single year it's the same (La la la la la) You tell yourself you like it this way (La la la la la) Who's gonna call ya name? When you are older Who's gonna call ya name? You're stuck in the middle You're stuck in the middle You're stuck in the middle When you gonna make the change? You're stuck in the middle Who's gonna call ya name When this is over You don't trust no one to stay And mend your heart Who's gonna call ya name When you grow older Who's gonna call ya name You're stuck in the middle

Girl I'm so sorry sro I've been thinking of the words to say Bro I'm so sorry girl This is literally my first mistake I cringe just thinkin' bout When I fell on you and broke your face And now the angels know the error of my ways Please take me at my word Never meant to break into your house I never realized Just how bad it would be for my clout The winds of right and wrong have coalesced in shame I reprimand the deed I carry with my name We could breathe a little deep in a 1, 2, 3 If some people had the courage to say Girl I'm sorry bro What can I do to repay We could get some more shit done in a 3, 2, 1 With some people who are willing to say Bro I'm sorry girl Forever and more always We could breathe a little deep in a 1, 2, 3 If some people had the courage to say Girl I'm sorry bro What can I do to repay On the same side of the sun in a 3, 2, 1 There's the people who are too quick to cave Like I'm sorry girl Forever and more always Girl I'm sorry bro What can I do to repay Bro I'm sorry girl Forever and more always Girl I'm sorry bro What can I do to repay

we sail on endless waters inside a jar that floats along the sea reciting to our sons and daughters songs among the breeze in a song among the breeze we only are our islands enlivened by the promise to the trees all nourishing solemnly into eternity we stand in turbulent symmetry in thanks to glimpse at peace we only are our islands we only are our islands we only are our islands rise, shine, open eyes soak in the sounds here them outpour in your hands as water from the creaking faucet trickles down rise, shine aim your aching limbs upright! I don’t deserve to feel it
 I don’t deserve to fear it 
Don’t glorify And we only are We are on fire Fire Fire Fire Fire
