1.
I have a walking stick That I shall beat you with Reece my darling boy you see Though haste disappointed me And there I see you cower Like a delicate little flower Your skin so darkly pale Quite soon I hope to make it wail Alas my boy Your mother’s pride and joy Baloo, Baloo, Baloo

I am the passive killer, passively stalking you I am the queen’s battalion sticking my knife through you And as I walk on home I see the face of someone new Their eyes meet mine and I can see the things I saw in you A heart that beats so slowly when the blood starts leakin’ out A pair of lungs that gasp so loudly when the final breath’s let out A thousand veins, a thousand roads that succumb a single doubt That you and I must stay alive, in hopes to drown the clout ‘Cause there’s a skeleton in my closet that looks just like you do There’s a skeleton in my closet that has all your features too And I fell in love with him like I'm fallin’ just for you And I hope, one day I can fit my fist straight down your throat And pull your epiglottis out, your epiglottis out, on out And I’ll dissect your beautiful body, I’ll cut the muscles out I’ll preserve your limbs and dry your skin You’re so beautiful inside out You’re so beautiful inside out Your brain’s on display, your heart’s locked in my safe Your bones are stale, your jaw is frail You’re so vulnerable inside out You’re so vulnerable inside out But I’ll take, take care of you I’ll protect you from decay You’ll stay with me forever You’ll stay with me, You’ll stay with me You’ll never ever, ever… ever leave

PIPW 03:18
Walking down the street it was a sight I couldn’t bear All those kissing couples what a harrowing affair I closed my eyes so tightly and said a final prayer Help me, Help me, Help me I’m going to collapse All those kissing tongues I know that they’ll attack Now they’re holding hands oh dear, I cannot win a fight They are chasing after me I will have to take flight Everything they said to me three years ago was tripe Watching, Looking, Glaring, They are stalking me I can see right through This conspiracy Hah, I knew it, there they are, police in prince’s white Here they are to kidnap me and strap me down real tight I am not a psychopath I shouted with my might Stop it, stop it, stop it No injections please The needle in my arm Will make a bug of me Here I am alone in this cell of feather down It is nice and soft and there’s no slobbering around Alone, Alone, Alone I’m finally Alone Solitude is mine Alone I shall behold Here I am your queen Bow Down before me I knew you were there from the start So rest my aching heart

Riverside 04:24
So bored am I on Riverside, I do not know what to do Oh so bored on Riverside, there’s nothing I can do On Riverside they tear down things for privileged yuppie scum More Taco yummie treat I fear you’ll be cast out for wings on River, Riverside Oh Riverside you cling to me, gripping like a Satan’s mask And all I ever saw from thee were cyclists in a trance of steam Maybe some stomping tramps we’ll see with gleaming white wild eyes of tears And there is nothing to do here on River, Riverside Oh Riverside what hold thee me, oh what can you give me today Nothing, nothing can I say on River, Riverside The blight has come, the leaves are gone There’s a season still of frozen blood But can I wait ‘til flowers bloom No not on Riverside, no not on Riverside So bored am I on Riverside, I do not know what to do Oh so bored on Riverside
