Therapy Island

Tracklist + Lyrics:

1. Dry Heat/Nice Town

   it's a dry heat! 
   quit everything, do nothing 
   "America's in retrograde" on a protest sign 
   it's a bad wig, but you didn't need that money anyway 
   $20 in the ATM and there's a $3 fee 

   you sound good when you're screaming 
   you don't need to dress up 
   it's laundry day anyway and you can wear what you're wearing 
   you can't cover late capitalism over with makeup any more 
   plus you're richer than God, and more handsome 

   too good to work in a business 
   too good to work for anyone 

   nice town, a lot of anarchists 
   we're taking two of everything at the 7-11 
   nice town and it will end like this 
   the green juice is free now 

   so you think you're better than us now 
   because you work for a major corporation 
   but the truth is you'll never be as good as us 
   because we are so much smarter and care way more 

   you're not until you are! you don't need directions! 
   you're not saving power, you're just wasting paper towels! 
   we don't have to march long: just until we're over injustice, patriarchy, and American imperialism! 

   too good to work in a business 
   too good to work for anyone 

   nice town, a lot of anarchists 
   we're taking two of everything at the 7-11 
   nice town and it will end like this 
   the green juice is free now 
   is free now

2. I Only Say I'm Sorry When I'm Wrong Now

   in through your nose and out through your mouth 
   you are not hungry, but you could still eat 
   you pour the paint, the color is blue 
   there's nothing wrong with your face: mine looks like that too 

   you're no longer fine with the way that things are 
   your heroes are dead and so i guess you're the hero now 
   people say a lot of interesting stuff when you take your headphones off 
   and you drop your phone into the toilet of history 

   i only say i'm sorry when i'm wrong now 
   i only run the air when it's warm out 
   i only text the friends that i like now 
   i only talk trash if i thought it out 
   everything's OK, nothing is on fire 
   i already burned it all and it's just ash now 
   i only drive the car if i can't walk around 
   i only say i'm sorry when i'm wrong now 

   papercut from the frozen pizza box 
   you have received assurances that you are a friend of the pod 
   balloon in the rafters is right twice a day 
   sadly headbanging while you wait in the parking lot 

   you ruled the world for, like, three minutes 
   and now they have replaced everyone else on your flight with crying babies 
   you're the second person pissing in a pissing contest 
   but you could spread your arms and be in airplane mode 

   i only say i'm sorry when i'm wrong now 
   i only run the air when it's warm out 
   i only text the friends that i like now 
   i only talk trash if i thought it out 
   everything's OK, nothing is on fire 
   i already burned it all and it's just ash now 
   i only drive the car if i can't walk around 
   i only say i'm sorry when i'm wrong now 

   i only say i'm sorry when i'm wrong now

3. Still Life

   too good to work and i was full of blood
   i studied waiting at the college of mud
   take what you want and i know you will
   take what you want and i know you will

   it's a long way to the beach i know
   10 tiny men are playing tennis below
   a live reminder of when things were fine
   a live reminder of when things were fine

   the world gets hot 
   it's still life
   the dream gets cold
   it's still life

   i'm King Raccoon, i'm on the mountain of trash
   i'll burn your cities down to amber and ash
   they tried to find you, there was nothing left
   they tried to find you, there was nothing left

   i wave goodbye and call an Uber home
   can't call to heaven from a Nokia phone
   i went upstairs and there was nothing there
   i went upstairs and there was nothing there

   the world gets hot
   it's still life
   the dream gets cold
   it's still life
   do i look bored?
   it's still life
   i'm still alive
   it's still life

   it's still life

4. Eternity Leave

   i was bored in a crossfire hurricane 
   i was walking around in a trash bag 
   then i look up in the sky and there it is: 
   a formation of clouds that spells out "Abolish ICE" 

   my eyesight is canceled 
   my memory is canceled 
   my feelings are canceled 
   Chipotle is canceled 

   i exercise now, i don't sad anymore 
   i'm taking my kettle black back to the pot store 
   my body sends a message that i'm gonna ignore 

   it's an infinite loop 
   leaky sink of the mind 
   paper baggage ahead at the document shred 
   no municipal bonds 
   no likes, comments or friends 
   no one left to bereave on eternity leave 

   here, let me explain how breathing works: 
   you suck in and you continue to live 
   nothing says self-loathing like the words self-care 
   dry clean my shorts for the Met Gala at Madison Square 

   my eyesight is canceled 
   my memory is canceled 
   my feelings are canceled 
   band practice is canceled 

   she doesn't want revenge she wants the normpocalypse 
   "i'll be there for you (live at the acropolis)" 
   don't need a friend with benefits, just a job with benefits 

   it's an infinite loop 
   leaky sink of the mind 
   paper baggage ahead at the document shred 
   no municipal bonds 
   no likes, comments or friends 
   no one left to bereave on eternity leave

5. House Shoes

   house shoes
   (OK)

6. Here I Was

   don't ask or i might tell you! 
   i'm in the land of the big TVs 
   like a kid the day after Christmas 
   exchange or refund, listen to me 

   the man-bun guy won the raffle 
   and walked out with a big TV 
   I'll be your Starbucks in a rainstorm 
   pickles and ketchup in a cardboard sleeve 

   10 million dollars cash, tax free 
   if you don't want it, would you give it to me? 
   death metal t-shirts, static and fuzz 
   and here i was 
   here i was 

   a conversation in confidence 
   no hetero affection: conflict again 
   10 angry tenants, all of them sighed 
   the nasty neighbor killed the vibe 

   cold-looking people or mortal men? 
   i ate a salad and listened from the next door apartment 
   run for the boredom, fill it with bags 
   tater tot pizza, niblets and Tab 

   100 million dollars cash, tax free 
   if you don't need it, would you please give it to me? 
   Megadeth t-shirts, static and fuzz 
   and here i was 
   here i was 

   i may never like anything again 
   i may never like anything again 
   i may never like anything again 
   i may never like anything again 

   big TVs 

   10 or 20 dollars cash, tax free 
   if you don't want it, would you give it to me? 
   Bob Marley t-shirts, "Jammin'," "One Love" 
   and here i was 
   here i was

7. Sexy National Anthem

   nice haircut! 
   nice charcoal lemonade 
   i woke up late for Earth and it made me late for Heaven 
   i regret to inform you you're not invited to the wedding, but you're welcome at the funeral 

   i'm sorry. was that petty 
   well the line is getting long if you want excessive drama 
   it's not art, it's something else 
   it's a good thing you're in good health, there's no cookies for the dead 

   no cops in a world of one 
   no masters in a world of one 

   black eyes, black eyeliner and hair 
   bury me with a sock tan, the sexy national anthem 
   black eyes, black leather and flowers 
   bury me with my drama, the sexy national anthem 

   are you getting into welding? 
   well i think it will do wonders for your industrial cred 
   i am sleeping with my eyes open 
   mixing ZOLOFT and smartwater to make NyQuil for the soul 

   the dumb part is almost over now 
   it's my last day in this warehouse 
   when i die leave me alone 
   they say that our bodies are made of two-thirds water and one-third shame 

   no cops in a world of one 
   no masters in a world of one 

   black eyes, black eyeliner and hair 
   bury me with a sock tan, the sexy national anthem 
   black eyes, black leather and flowers 
   bury me with my drama, the sexy national anthem 

   no cops in a world of one 
   no Cheez-Its in a world of one

8. Glendale

   Glendale 

   waiting on falafel 
   waiting on the grass to grow 
   famous people in heaven 
   crowding the bins 

   the Galleria is in retrograde 
   the Bob's Big Boy is in retrograde 
   Forest Lawn is in retrograde 
   I am in retrograde 

   it's OK to nap in Glendale 
   "No Heart Burn" 
   celebrity sighing 
   being sober is cool now 

   the Galleria is in retrograde 
   Zankou Chicken is in retrograde 
   the United States of America is in retrograde 
   I am in retrograde

9. S.T.O.P. B.E.L.I.E.V.I.N.G.

   looking at my phone in the bookstore when it appeared to me: 
   rare footage never before seen by a significant girlfriend 
   and i'm not gonna call innovation, but i'm not gonna call it anything else either 
   thanks for the invite, but i'm too not going 

   i work on forgetting today and every day 
   i suck at something today and every day 
   it looks like roadkill (and i mean in a good way) 
   almost always, every day 

   waiting in line at the juice bar when it occurred to me: 
   i may be too fat to be Spider-Man but not to be Body Positive Spider-Man! 
   all day i dream about self-improvement, capitalism, deregulation and eating a bagel 
   thanks for the invite but i'm too not going 

   i work on forgetting today and every day 
   i suck at something today and every day 
   it looks like roadkill (and i mean in a good way) 
   almost always, every day 

   S.T.O.P. B.E.L.I.E.V.I.N.G.

10. Big Blank Distraction

    we would like to welcome the people who know nothing and think they are better than us!

    i'm not here to start a problem
    i'm in line for fate
    and if you want to know what love is, well, you're gonna have to wait
    it's an unexpected skeptic who you met in Mexico
    Echo, just look at the pinwheels:
    i'm someone who wants to blow

    and i'm belching at the graveyard
    and i'm feeling strangely fine
    it's a big blank distraction of the mind

    whatever you're looking for, you won't find it at school, you famous Internet doofus!

    adult recreation and i'm losing every time
    and if winning's half the battle
    i'll take the other half, it's fine
    there's a bunch of random rich guys in Male Feminists The Band
    and, as Sufjan Stevens sang, "i want to hold your freakin' hand"

    now i'm dead, sell my Krill vinyl
    to the desperate Discogs guy
    it's a big blank distraction of the mind

    i'm going for my own jugular, or the jugular of someone who looks a lot like me!

    happy to invite you
    but you're gonna leave early
    Of Mice & Men On Ice is not the break you seem to need
    there's bad mojo at the dojo with no air conditioning
    sage your parking space
    and take a chill pill for anxiety

    i'm the Michael Phelps of eating snacks
    the store's out of my size
    it's a big blank distraction of the mind

11. Crud

    i keep a list of everyone's mistakes and it's getting long
    there's a new page in the menu of haters at this restaurant
    we all wondered what you thought!
    why don't you downgrade your review?
    there's no letter in the Health Code for this busboy sniffing glue

    you cut the cake
    you lick the knife
    you wipe away the crud of life

    killed myself with kindness
    then i panicked by myself
    i saw someone i admired
    i wasn't fine, why did i leave the house?
    is it fake fun that we are having?
    or an ad for being young?
    no one here was trying to get here
    where the cloudy water runs

    you cut the cake
    you lick the knife
    you wipe away the crud of life

12. Liar Island

    i made a mess that's too big to clean up and i left it in the middle of the sea
    i'm waiting for it to sink to the bottom, i tried, i can't wish it away
    and who the hell am i keeping up appearances for when i'm crying on fire?
    how will i rearrange the time i waste? i won’t sleep today or ever

    i'm the last liar alive on liar island
    i'm the dad with my shirt tucked in
    and i'm putting a hashtag, an @ and an apostrophe in the middle of my name
    would you do me a favor and write "wash me" in the dust on my soul?

    i got less from 10 crystals healing sessions than i got from an hour of TV   
    and i read somewhere that 12 gray hairs amounts to a serious disease 
    now i’m gonna be a little condescending (that means i’m talking down to you)
    orange hair with a gray-green face, and no one too small to destroy

    i'm the last liar alive on liar island
    i'm the dad with my shirt tucked in
    and i'm putting a hashtag, an @ and an apostrophe in the middle of my name
    would you do me a favor and write "wash me" in the dust on my soul?

13. Once a Day

    When you found somebody new
    I thought I never would forget you
    For I thought then that I never could
    But time has taken all the pain away
    Until now I'm down to hurting once a day
    
    Once a day
    All day long
    And once a night
    From dusk 'til dawn
    The only time I wish you weren't gone
    Is once a day, every day, all day long
    
    I'm so glad that I'm not like a girl I knew one time
    She lost the one she loved then slowly lost her mind
    She sat around and cried her life away
    Lucky me, I'm down to crying once a day
    
    Once a day
    All day long
    And once a night
    From dusk 'til dawn
    The only time I wish you weren't gone
    Is once a day, every day, all day long
    Once a day, every day, all day long
