Even if I live 400 years I won't believe it's happening and even if i face my biggest fears I'm gonna still be laughing cuz whenever I'm reminiscing do I really know what's missing? when I'm feeling safe inside my skin do I really have a reason? If this is the end of my love you know where to find me above singing with the stars inside my head. Cuz last night I found my body buried behind yr house again so I dug up my own body this vicious cycle never ends.

Glamour is gone Glamour is gone livin' in a city feelin' more alone feelin' I once knew now it has moved on some kind of new beginning Glamour is gone / Glamour is gone Glamour is gone it disappeared one night into the great beyond I was out of my mind and barely hangin' on now I'm tryin' to find it Glamour is gone It ain't easy seeing things through sullen eyes it's even less easy livin' so un-Glamourized.

Keeping track of everybody's name starts to feel like such a foolish game remind yrself of a better one to play the one in which you waste the day and home is where you stay even when I'm at shows in the city even when I'm singin' songs so pretty never look them in the eyes for long and if they criticize me then they're wrong it's a social exercise leavin' functions just to go lay down locked up in the dungeon underground luckily I had some friends at home my couch my cat my dog my phone my quiet little zone – it's a social exercise.

Taking over never leaving living slower years uneven an illusion I can't stop seeing evil reasons I can barely build a muscle let alone a life I could care less now that I'm left to my own device what is this routine with which I've become such good friends? How can I remind myself I'm human to no end? It's starting over again it's starting over again it's starting all the fuck over again it's starting over again my recital never ending a song title I'm defending many nights now I end up spending string bending waiting on my masterpiece is wasting all my time my guitar has crafted something I cannot define what does this vibration from a dead tree represent? How could I think it makes me different from simple men? It's starting over again.

UNDERGROUND 04:38
Been a long year livin' life backstage trapped behind a curtain-covered cage In a cosmic age my life my life is but a page still I won't disengage I'm not unwilling to face this life alone cuz if I try and fail I'm still not far from home you'll have to let my lover know I won't pick up the phone I'll be under the sand and stone Leavin' earth without a sound the enemy is all around they wanna put me underground they wanna hang me upside down they wanna hang me upside down they wanna see me drugged and drowned they won't lookin til I'm found they're gonna put me underground oh no oh no Don't you try to come and dig me up I'm happier amongst the dirt and dust no matter what you try here is where I lay my song will never die.

PICKY EATER 03:58
Underground there is relief no one to watch the food I eat to the bone accept defeat only enough to make ends meet yr tryin' to read between the lines ignoring every warning sign I broke my bones and bent my spine what I consume is a drug so fine Anybody can see I'm addicted to somethin' cuz if I am what I eat then I'm pretty much nothin' nowadays if my body can breathe then I'm able to function half the time but if I am what I eat then I'm pretty much (nothin') / Well I remember as a child my diet runnin' free and wild I locked it up for a little while my parents said I never smiled I told them that I was okay I tell the same lie still today the truth I now can only say I'm addicted to gettin' cold and gray. Anybody can see I'm admittin' to somethin' cuz if I am what I eat then I'm pretty much nothin' nowadays if my body can breathe then I'm able to function half the time but if I am what I eat then I'm pretty much nothin'.

I wanted to be old and wise I wanted ritual sacrifice but now I'm digging out my eyes so not to look at my skinny thighs I know I'm the only one to blame livin' every day inside a fragile frame mirror on the wall it never knows my name I know I'm not the only fragile frame I'm losing track of space and time punish my body for all my crimes and now I'm in between the lines a skeleton of my own design.
8.
I'm writing a slow one 7 days with no sun in a haunted home lights flicker often someday maybe someone will dig up the dungeon and they'll hear a song coming out of a coffin Endless fires and hundred year old vampires are nothin' if not carried by a tune whenever they put me underground this guitar goes with me too cuz my ghost is going to sing this song for you / Coming out from the TV it'll be nice to see me on the silver screen singing my song forever no one will escape me and I'll haunt those who hated me but my family will forget me never Stars align some kind of Frankenstein is waiting here until it's time to croon whenever they put me underground this guitar goes with me too cuz my ghost is going to sing this song for you my ghost is going to sing this song for you my ghost will sing for you.
9.
Forever and ever I'm alone first my skin and then my bones I'm livin' quietly all on my own slowly damaging my dome I rot away until I've found my home under which my children roam and whenever they're talking on their phones will I hear it under stone? You know my body's in its resting place I thought I'd always have that pretty face you know I need you when you dig me up even when you realize I'm out of touch Forever and ever without light traveling at the speed of night underground there is no wrong no right only little things that bite this pretty face is getting old and wise who even really needs both eyes so forever and ever no sunrise don't you ever wonder why? / The afterlife I wanted to believe lookin' yo at you makes me want to leave you know I need you when you dig me up before my pretty face has had enough This pretty face is getting old and wise until the earth is where my body lays my resting place given a sacrifice my very own personal Jesus Christ.
