Oil in a cup of water
I can’t blend in
I come out on the top
For the whole world to laugh at me

The only time
I’ll be the same
Is when everything I am
Is underground

I’ve seen just about everything
Under the sun
Yet I cannot imitate
Normal fun

Tell me what I can’t be
A life like mine
It does not seem to fit
Within your mind

People hurt me
I move on
I do not blame them
I’m where I don’t belong

I don’t hate humans
They’ve already won
Where aliens go
There will be none

Tell me what I can’t say
And I’ll prove you wrong
There is no meaning
Without thought

I hate aliens
Yet I am one
When humans know
They tend to run

Spacemen scream
“Don’t look at me”
I’m phoning home
To no reply

That’s what it means
Read it in my eyes
That I am alien
To life’s lies

Here I am in my stiff bed
Here I lay my uncomfortable head
No place I’d rather be instead
Where else absorbs the tears I shed?

Snot crusts and blood dries
Nowhere else I’d rather cry
I call out to no one
Receiving no reply

Panic swells and tires out
As my eyes suffer from drought
I cascade into slumber
Relieving every doubt

Here I wake in my stiff bed
Here I lay my uncomfortable head
No place I’d rather be instead
Where else absorbs the tears I shed?

The apple in your eyes
Fell hard from a tree
And smacked into my head
Which drove me to sleep

I dreamt of there after
Yet my mind’s always captured by you
Let me let go
Don’t reel me back

In a life without gravity
I’d make use of my apathy
And drift away
Let the vacuum wipe me out

The world is my Dedalus
And the blade is my sun
I’ll fly high like Icarus
With wings that burn off

Let me land on a palm tree
In an island far off
I’ll eat my own limbs
And I’ll end in a scoff

I became one big snake
As my organs unwound
Before I let go
Make sure I kiss the ground

They all light the flame
And laugh as I fly to it
I wish I knew another way
I wish I hadn’t flown astray

Everyone’s a butterfly
But me, I must run and hide
So far away from here

I’m the moth
I’m starving and alone
Nobody’s clothes are near to bite on
I wish I could pollenate with the other guys
Makes me want to lay and cry

Cut off my wings
Make it so I’ll have to give up
Can’t keep letting myself down

I want to be ugly like the moth
Then it will all make sense
But tell me I’m a butterfly
And then I’ll fly away
How could someone be so deranged as to like me?
Or soulless enough to lie

Magma spat out like the lukewarm
Now lava has become its name
For it moves in a way that seems its own
Yet in essence, nothing has changed

A life lived beside a volcano
Leaves a body preserved in its wake
Unknowingly so, they’ll walk over you
The second the ground supports them and their hideous head

My mind killed itself
But my body remains
The stars shone bright
But I could never find the moon at night

My life’s a broken satellite
Sending cryptic words to nowhere
And then one day I find
The path I’m on leads everywhere but here

Never want to be alone
Cannot seem to be atoned
For they already cast their stones at me

Please stop giving out directions
It’s throwing me off
I’ll find out someday

Please leave your skin at the door
And hang it on a rusty hanger
And lock us in so I can we do no wrong

Don’t let me feast
Don’t leave me be
Never let me out
Please hinder me
And render me for who I am…

Incomplete

I may seem tall, but I’m dying
And I’ll die quicker than the short ones
And I know it doesn’t matter
Once your on the floor screaming

So check your hair in the mirror
Hope that no one sees you trying
And I can’t pull this off on my own
And I’ll never pull the trigger

Well neither will they
‘Cause they’re not impatient
So carve out your time
Into brief condemnations

And punch a hole in the ceiling
And climb up through the cracks
And you know you shouldn’t be here
But you know you won’t be long

So close your eyes, there’s no difference
You can’t see in the dark
Just walk around in a circle
And you’re right back at the start

So fall through the hole in the floor
And collapse down on the ground
And you know you should’ve never left
‘Cause you knew you wouldn’t belong

Well now that your back where you started
Where you always knew you’d never fit in
You kept your eyes wide just to cry
You didn’t care when they stumbled on your tears

Well they never cared either
‘Cause you’re not their patient
So write the screenplay
To your own destination

And you know if you fight to the death
A part of you will die
Whether it’s you on the inside
Or the movie on the outside

So put a hole in your skull
And here it comes
You know you’re not the one
To lose the plot and turn the TV off

But I will not hurt you
But I might desert you
Just like I said
And just like you’ve done

And I’m gone
It only hurt a minute
But I’ve felt worse things
In the rough draft of the ending

Roll all the credits
All the names of the people who crossed me
All the names of the people I’ve crossed
And I knew it all along
I sold my script to a director

This was my destiny and destination
It couldn’t happen any different
I never was a fan sequels

Well I fell through the hole that I kicked in
I dug my grave with the devil
Well it looks like I’m going to hell
I wish they didn’t add a scene after the credits
