Don't Talk About It Anymore
Dusty Lucite
you don't need it to make sense
you just wanna live your life
humanity is showing its ass
in this world-wide suicide
i don't wanna live that way
i don't wanna play pretend
i just wanna say goddamnit
but i shut my trap and don't say anymore about it
cause you don't wanna talk about it anymore
destroying our bodies for the dough
wish upon a star
it won't get you far
guess it's gonna be this way
if this is any way at all
aren't you sick of being sick?
aren't you tired of feeling small?
do you wanna live this way?
do you wanna acquiesce?
i just wanna say goddamnit
but i shut my yap and don't say anymore about it
cause you don't wanna talk about it anymore
destroying the planet for the dough
praying to god won't get you far

Hectic Bending
Dusty Lucite
I remember the sound
ambulances sped down the road behind us
in dreams i'm trapped there with you
we're falling down the valley
did you know that you'd die
when the truck wheels touched sky?
or was it too fast?
we're falling down the valley
we're stuck against the ceiling
crashing down
and now I see you
crashing down
i'm right there with you
i don't know what else i can say
it doesn't matter at all inside my head anyway
i live with your void
that's all

Normal Harder
Dusty Lucite
froggies simmer in the pot
they won't jump when it gets too hot
you fainted here by standing up too fast
you're having all your fun now while it lasts
just normal harder
frozen on a single word
and static's the only thing you heard
you double down on a lie they all chose
you're hurting everyday and no one knows
just normal harder
can't you connect the dots?
(it's not hard)
we'll end up dumb as rocks
(like a mall cop)
you hear me when i say
(won't you listen?)
you'll come to rue the day you went and threw your sense away

Total Bliss
Dusty Lucite
wake me up
with the softest kiss
half asleep now
sunday morning bliss
lilac breeze
hits you in the face
crackling wood
in the fireplace
zooming dogs
spinning on the rug
pile of blankets
we're snug as a bug
quiet snow
falling in the night
the color glow
of the christmas lights
total bliss

Old Feelings (feat. D. Crane)
Dusty Lucite
old feelings
(they're the ones that i know the best)
your back's against the wall
and so afraid to make the call
old feelings
(they're the ones that i know the best)
and by the time you wait it out
your love replaces all the doubt
there's only one way that you ever get it back again
there's only one way

The Rate of Change of The Rate of Change
Dusty Lucite
it's a beautiful day
crocuses are in bloom
but it's january
love the warmth
and yet it feels so
wrong
wakes you up in the night
dream is always the same
it's like we're running away
it's like we're running 'cause
everything around is crumbling down to the ground
the seasons are dust
you're welding on your rose-colored glasses
you can't see it now
'cause you won't look at all
1.5 slips away
nothing left we can do
politicians just smile
less than worthless 'cause
everything around is crumbling down to the ground
the seasons are dust
you're welding on your rose-colored glasses
you can't see it now
'cause you won't look at all
the waves will crash on the buildings
pink seas will rise
the heat's never-ending
our hopes and dreams
for all of the children
we can't have them now
and we can't deal at all
we can't deal at all

The Reddest Flag
Dusty Lucite
ignored the warning signs along the way
and now the reddest flags are in our face flying
bullet sounds ring at night
found a taser by the wall
but it's alright inside
don't you worry anymore
ignored the warning signs along the way
and now the reddest flags are in our face flying
but it's not right outside
smokey hazy burning glow
but we're alright inside
don't you worry anymore
for all time
for all time i'll fly away from here
fly away

Halo
Dusty Lucite
the sun is setting now on Laredo
fed the sweetest old lab under the table
desert heat is setting in
church signs say "repent from sin"
cracks in the red clay are evident
the elephant is in the room
but close you eyes and hum a tune
'cause you can't seem to live another way
the mighty river
it ain't so grand now
you wanna stop this
but you don't know how
cattle company auctions
fire sales and weeping men
and things they just can't bring themselves to name
we drove out in the morning light
to beat the heat and see the sights
light bends humid air and now i see
halos
i saw halos

A Love You Can't Deny
Dusty Lucite
you're my ride or die
'till the end of days
and you make me whole
in a million ways
a love you can't deny
it brings water to your eyes
water to your eyes
and i make you laugh at the dumbest things
and i take no shit
and i find your things
a love you can't deny
it brings water to your eyes
water to your eyes
when life goes away
i will find a way
to be with you again
or i'll be damned
