Taxidermist

Sometimes I wonder what life would have been like if we'd both got born
He is my hypothetical brother from the same mother
Shared a womb, we'll share a room
His saliva, my own semen
Not half a man, but two half men
Crave more than to scratch the surface
Lo, behold the taxidermist
Glass eyes, freeze dried, no skin
Let's take a closer look at what went wrong
My own facsimile, I'm put together again
Improvement, self-improvement
His saliva, my own semen
Not half a man, but two half men
Tall, but little more than vermin
Lo, behold the taxidermist

Fragile Ego

I put myself on display
You were born just to work, pay bills, and die
Anyone who says otherwise is a fucking hippy
"You should check they're okay"
She says "Something's happening upstairs"
Stop, don't touch my fragile ego
Don't sleep enough
(What are your hobbies?)
I like staring at the wall, sticking knives into toasters, feeling bad about myself all the time
(And who are your influences?)
We exclusively listen to meme rap, and the album 'Red' by King Crimson
(What are your hobbies?)
I like staring at the wall
(And who are your influences?)
I think I'd have to say... stop, don't touch my fragile ego
Am I the oppressor?
Oh god, I think I might be the bad smell
I am the oppressor

Punching Bag

Tonight Matthew, I am nothing and I'm okay with that
Tonight Matthew, I will shit in my own hands and clap
Tonight Matthew, I will be your fucking punching bag
Then write down how I feel so all your fucking friends can have a fucking laugh
It sounded so appealing
You called me up to say not even god could know what the man would do next
I called you back to say not even I knew what my body would do next
You called me up and now I know what I know now
And all I have to say is

Thank The Universe

What seems more likely?
That it's a terrible, terrible time to be alive?
Or you and almost everyone you know happens to be mentally ill?
This is the treasure chest in which I keep remnants of teeth
Ground down overnight into a fine paste
I lick them off my gums each morning
How do you pass the time?
Undignified to stay alive
He says "I'm too young to die, but oh boy, can't you just see the appeal?"
What I desire...
I get what I want
I get what I like
I get what I need
And I get it all night
Thank you
I thank the universe each morning

Do you remember when I coughed up blood for nine whole months of my life?
I am the author of all sighs
And back then you were oh so great at solitude
"Does your missus know you cheat?"
Why don't you make like a tree?
Yeah why don't you make like everyone I've ever loved and leave?
Honk if you're horny
The only reason that we're all safe is because nobody here wants to die
Read a book, they said, read a book
Well, I read a book, and didn't much like what I learned
I paint the discs upon my body
I douse myself in the thick, white soup
I feel the ghost of your touch, oh how I long to be your host
Trusting everyone, touching everyone
Honk if you're horny
