R U Ready?
03:31
|
|||
i moustache you a question
are you ready for the new year?
i'm not but i'm trying to get some hype here
no different than the previous volumes
stress out, cry, complain and then the yelling resumes
i used to think that i had what it takes to be liked
i used to love to create but now my process be like
fake it, hate it, debate it, then overcomplicate it
make it, slate it, deflate it, then just humiliate it
both halves of my psyche fighting for the throne
but now they've made up and teamed up and i'm here all alone
there's no time, there's no time
still haven’t decided if this project’s legit
still haven’t decided when i’m gonna quit
still haven’t decided if it’s worth it
still haven’t decided if i give a shit

welcome to volume sex
that's german for six
get your mind out of the gutter
while you listen to this
i don't know if all the songs
are gonna be about this project
i take the inspiration from wherever
i do not object
i'm not turning down any ideas
i might even write a jam 'bout gonorrhea
i just learned how to spell that today
that's probably why it was on my mind
get fucked
fucked up
not fucked as in sex
but fucked as in drunk or high
or mentally broken
in a state of denial or dread unspoken
it's volume sex
that's german for six
get your mind out of the gutter
while you listen to this
i just like the way that fucking refrain flows
that's why i used it twice just soze you know
not every song is gonna be this heavy
but i'm riding the wave of metal so just
get fucked
fucked up
not fucked as in sex
but fucked as in drunk or high
or mentally broken
in a state of denial or dread unspoken
welcome to volume sex
and i'm not talking 'bout the number
i'm referring to loud adult relations with my partner
yeah, the joke's on you
like my yolk's on the sheets
like i was bridgerton
my pullout game is on fleek

Mourning
03:42
|
|||
waking up in the morning knowing i made a mistake
waking up in the morning wishing that i didn't break
waking up in the morning praying my soul to take
waking up and i'm mourning that i always ache
waking up in the morning thinking i made a mistake
waking up in the morning knowing i can’t relate
hiding the pain when the kids are near
bracing the hate inside with my fear
waking up and i'm mourning that i am a fake
waking up in the morning hoping that i am okay
waking up in the morning knowing i lost my way
quieter outbursts as i take the stage
quiet the storm inside as it fades
waking up and i'm mourning that i made a mistake

been thinking 'bout my star wars song this year
and i'm so excited may the 4th is finally here
the bad batch is out right now
but i don't even know what it's about
i know it's clones and they're doing clone shit
messing up the plan of separatists
they're an elite trooper team
and there's probably something about them that they must redeem
in the eyes of those in charge
but what's the deeper story?
is it all pew-pew and jedi glory?
will the character arcs have a gradual slide?
will the easter eggs ignite fanboy pride?
well i don't care because
when it comes to star wars content
give me every little bit
i was raised in the decade drought
between ‘84 and ‘96
live action or animation
stories big and small
hell, i’d even watch a jar jar show
over no star wars content at all
content at all
the expanded universe once reigned supreme
luke was the dopest jedi that we'd ever seen
can we just politely discuss
are there too many star wars shows on disney plus?
no there's not because
when it comes to star wars content
give me every little bit
i was raised in the decade drought
between ‘84 and ‘96
live action or animation
stories big and small
hell, i’d even watch a jar jar show
over no star wars content at all
content at all
because when it comes to star wars content
give me every little bit
i was raised in the decade drought
between ‘84 and ‘96
live action or animation
stories big and small
hell, i’d even watch jar jar taking a shit
over no star wars content at all

Now or Never
02:36
|

are you tired of being pushed down?
are you tired of feeling like a clown?
stand tall and hold your ground
then get back to your feet when you get knocked down
oh, damn, you’re in deep shit now
failure you can not allow
time for you to wipe the sweat from your brow
get up, dust off and fight back now
are you tired of being ignored?
have the daily beatings got you bored?
i can assure you that you're not alone
but it's time to straighten out that bent back bone
oh, damn, you’re in deep shit now
failure you can not allow
time for you to wipe the sweat from your brow
get up, dust off and fight back now
oh, fuck, you’re in deep shit now
failure you can not allow
time for you to wipe the sweat from your brow
get up, dust off and fight back now

Give Me A Sign
03:20
|
|||
if you love me give me a sign
hold my hand look into my eyes
i know i should just be here and be engaged
but i'm too scared to lose this life we've made
when you're unhappy give me a sign
sit with me and tell me what's on your mind
i wish i could just be here and not be afraid
i'm safe with you in this life we've made
i can't speak for you so give me a sign
tell me your dreams and i'll tell you mine
if you love me give me a sign
hold my face and kiss me 'til the end of time
'til the end of time
'til the end of time
'til the end of time

Mom Fears My Music
03:03
|
|||
it was 1994
sega genesis on the floor
tool poster on the wall
buying in utero at the mall
singing songs and acting cool
i would practice after school
picked up my dad's guitar
and taught myself to be a star
writing songs and acting cool
rocking out right after school
punching cones with my bandmates
we barely practice any way
it was 1995
kurt cobain is not alive
and i'm playing power chords
everything else has got me bored
mom feared the music
that inspired me to play
though she's always been supportive
of the songs that i create
it was 1996
dual cassette deck is the shit
made a demo in my room
20 songs of gloom and doom
but in those formative years
rockers must rebel
and that's how mom fears my music
became my record label - haha!
it was 1994
sega genesis on the floor
tool poster on the wall
buying in utero at the mall

what are you doing?
don't tell me

you don't really care
you don't really care
what i'm doing
what you're doing
just showing

Dish So Deep
05:19
|
|||
i see you
yeah, i see you
yo, listen
when i first saw you
i knew i had to lock it down
my eyes were all for you
i didn't care that you were round
don't care
you were so hot, i was scared to touch you
though i wanted that embrace
i slid my hand beneath your crust
and i brought you to my face
your dish is so deep
ya bring me to my knees
your juices flowing down
my tongue against your cheese
your dish is so deep
my hunger you appease
no matter how i beg you
don't ever dare stop please
how shall i eat you, baby
east to west or north to south?
we ain't spelling no alphabet
as i shove you in my mouth
now your grease is dripping
i lick you off my hand
you are my love affair
you are my promised land
your dish is so deep
ya bring me to my knees
your juices flowing down
my tongue against your cheese
your dish is so deep
my hunger you appease
no matter how i beg you
don't ever dare stop please

Cry Far
03:37
|
|||
we're a far cry from being done
but isn't that fact half the fun?
we got miles to go before we sleep
the wolves will hide until we count our sheep
everything will be alright
as long as you don't put up a fight
i'm just here for your wares and goods
you don't want to die here out in the woods
are you wasting a second thought for your life?
are you taking a second chance to deny?
don't you feel afraid out here in the night?
when in darkness you're a predator
or you die
don't even try it tonight
it's not worth your the fight
don't trade your soul for wares and goods
you don't want to die here in the woods
are you taking a second to hold your life?
are you wasting a second chance to comply?
do you think anyone will hear you cry?
when in darkness you're a predator
or you die
the cry was heard far and wide

The Path Forward
04:04
|
|||
if we continue down this path
there can be no going back
wander all you need to never lost
following beside you no matter the cost
falling far behind us long gone days
never fail between us here to stay
take the path forward as we can
holding on to memory empty hands

Let's Take a Walk
03:03
|
|||
let's take a walk outside
just to clear our heads
let's take a moment's time
to feel every second pass
and maybe we can slow this evening down
let's take a walk outside
just to feel alive
let's thank the universe
for knowing what we need
and maybe we can slow this moment down
let's take a walk outside
just to see the sunset
what if we don't wake up?
i want to know we tried
and maybe we can slow it down this time

On The Lonely Sea
02:47
|
|||
at the crack of dawn
we sail the lonely sea
from goblin bay to wizard isle
merchant ships will flee
we carry on the pirate way
across the lonely sea
will we fear no privateer
no siren vexes we
we care not
what laws we do forsake
but on the lonely sea
we keep all that we take
we know not
what vicious end we'll meet
but on the lonely sea
we die before defeat
at first light of dawn
we sail the lonely sea
from zeel flats to porto bay
we are truly free
at self-haven we chart our course
and pay a small advance
for tomorrow we may meet our end
tonight we drink and dance
we care not
what laws we freely break
but on the lonely sea
we keep all that we take
we know not
what ghastly end we'll meet
but on the lonely sea
we die before defeat
we care not
what laws we freely break
but on the lonely sea
we keep all that we take
we know not
what ghastly end we'll meet
but on the lonely sea
we die before defeat
yes on the lonely sea
we die before defeat

Full Fathom Five
04:11
|

full fathom five thy father lies;
of his bones are coral made;
those are pearls that were his eyes:
nothing of him that doth fade,
but doth suffer a sea-change
into something rich and strange.
sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
ding-dong
ding-dong, bell

making snow angels
my dad and family
pictures in the snow
love love love

love love my family
love love love
love love
love love my family
watching a movie with my family

Backstage
04:41
|
|||
all this time they never know
that you and i are running a show
moving swiftly and mostly unseen
during acts and in between
sometimes an actor has fallen asleep
and we wake them and get them on stage in a heap
we're the ladies of gaff tape; the lords of mops
we know all of the secrets but can't touch the props
i miss wearing all black with you
i miss learning a track with you
even though it was hard being crew
i still miss being backstage with you
all this time they never know
that you and i are fucking rocking this show
on four hours sleep and so much caffeine
making magic behind the scenes
every night at the same spot we will depart
to collect in the wings and watch our favorite part
we sleep in the green room and know all the lines
we've got ramen, and whiskey, and bulk-buy box wine
i miss wearing all black with you
i miss learning a track with you
even though it was hard being crew
i still miss being backstage with you
and sometimes your boss
triggers your ptsd
and you go out and break stuff
they call the police
and it all happens in the first act
of the final preview .
i miss wearing all black with you
i miss learning a track with you
even though it was hard being crew
i still miss being backstage with you
being backstage with you
being backstage with you
being backstage with you
even though it was hard being crew
i still miss being backstage with you

Foldable (The Deep Diss)
04:17
|
|||
i work hard all day
party hard at night
yes i like to drink my beer
because it makes me feel alright
when it's time to sit down
with the perfect meal to match
i only want that new york style
pie in my face-snatch
if you can't fold your pizza
then it's trash
if you're using a knife and fork
then you may as well eat my ass
pizza is meant as a walking snack
or a hangover cure
so i ain't dealing with this
deep dish bullshit anymore
i know some pizza fans
won't relate to this at all
but i have less need for them
then i have for my left ball
you can put pineapple up on top
but that slice still has to fold
you can put anchovies on that bitch
and you can even eat it cold
if you can't fold your pizza
then it's trash
if you're using a knife and fork
then you may as well eat my ass
pizza is meant as a walking snack
or a hangover cure
so i ain't dealing with this
deep dish bullshit anymore
i can dig on a thick-ass crust
and you know that toppings are a must
but if you want to experience true pie lust
you need a foldable slice that you can trust
if you can't fold your pizza
then it's trash
if you're using a knife and fork
then you may as well eat my ass
pizza is meant as a walking snack
or a hangover cure
and yeah, it's okay to like things
but i ain't dealing with this
deep dish bullshit anymore

Fear of Falling
04:18
|

let this wave consume you
torment washing over we
let the body die
your mind will yet survive
no fear of falling when we
never touch the ground
dash your head upon the rocks
underneath your feet
grasp this holy union
until gasping sets us free
no fear of falling when we
never touch the ground
let this wave consume you
torment washing over me
let the body die
your mind will yet survive
no fear of falling when we
never touch the ground

i'm not sure where to start
i'll just speak out honestly
talking right from the heart
i don't want to be out of line
i want a little more peace of mind
so in my darkest hour
i find strength in a higher power
i try to be a good boy
and i always follow the rules
that's why i've come to talk to you
i want to be a good boy
and i want to follow the rules
that's why i only do what
satan tells me to

Fallacy
04:39
|

reason has failed you
you cannot unsee
so many dark stains
that never come clean
scrubbing the lies
the lies that you weave
breaking your fingers
down on your knees
the life you're living now is just a fallacy
the life you're living now is just a fallacy
you've given up
you're lying through your teeth
the life you're living now is just a fallacy
don't mistake this kindness for weakness
don't mistake this quiet for meekness
don't expect me to sit back and let you
cut me
again
reason has failed you
i'm not what you see
i'm all that is left of
the man i could be
am i the only
one who's awake
you're feeding the lonely
with hope that's decayed
the life you're living now is just a fallacy
the life you're living now is just a fallacy
you've given up
you're lying through your teeth
the life you're living now is just a fallacy
don't mistake this kindness for weakness
don't mistake this quiet for meekness
don't expect me to sit back and let you
cut me
again
reason has failed you
you cannot unsee
so many dark stains
that never come clean

Where Have You Gone?
03:32
|

where have you gone?
will you be back?
i'm sitting here
sippin my beer
wondering that
where have you gone?
will you be back?
refreshing my feed, hoping to see
rude alchemy
it doesn't have to be
carver cranebottom
it could just be
poe green's ghost machine
i would even accept
a season that ryan wrote
or bruff taxwind as told
by some random homeless man
where have you gone?
will you be back?
i'm sitting here
sippin my beer
wondering that
where have you gone?
will i get that call?
refreshing my feed
hoping to see
rude alchemy
the last thing that i did
was partake in the chatter and lore
did i do something wrong?
are we strangers forever more?
i would come back as a robot
or maybe the headmaster's tool
or i can just go back to editing shows
i know my place
i'm a fool
where have you gone?
will you be back?
i'm sitting here
sippin my beer
wondering that
where have you gone?
will i get that call?
keep refreshing my feed
hoping to see
rude alchemy

Blessed
01:19
|

and now we're coming down the home stretch
and now we're coming down the home stretch
coming down the home stretch
writing 31 songs
from point a to point b
taking a bit long
it's a formulaic process putting lyrics to the pad
like measure twice cut once
learned that from my dad
and now i’m trying to expand
pushing folks to understand
if you take the time
you can find the right rhyme
maybe this can be a record
that the kids will play
because i'm lazy falling back on fuck for
song-a-day may
i gotta go
i got shit to do
i mean real-world shit
that i must pursue
figured i would come and find a little bit of inspiration
hoping i'm the spark like once japan was to the fire nation
if you don't know what i say
it's okay
you can check the closed captions that i posted today
you think that i would memorize the script more or less
but trying to impress is now the source of all my stress
and now i'm working to address
the choice that put me in this mess
life was easier when i believed that i was blessed

don't blame me
i won't try
i'll just be
empty sky
don't wait for me
i will fly
when i am free

i trapped that fart for fifteen minutes or more
sometimes i fart in the car when i park it
sometimes i fart in the car when i park it
sometimes i fart in the car when i park it
and when i come back i still smell it
like when i closed the door
i trapped that fart for fifteen minutes or more
sometimes i fart in the car when i park it
and when i come back i still smell it
like when i closed the door
i trapped that fart for fifteen minutes or more
sometimes i fart in the car when i park it
sometimes i fart in the car when i park it
sometimes i fart in the car when i park it
sometimes i fart in the car when i park it

Goodbye

i've been giving it a lot of thought
i feel like i've done what i came to do
i've faced my fears
i pushed through tears
and now it's time for you to say
goodbye
goodbye
i'm not saying i won't be back
i'm not saying that i quit
i gave it a try
but my brain is fried
i'm tired of this shit so say
goodbye
goodbye
i feel like i've done what i came to do
i wrote love letters and anthems for you
we've had a bit of fun
but now i'm finally done
that's why mel is telling everyone
goodbye
goodbye
