Cigarette 03:23
You're rolled tobacco, tuck your leaves in, nuthin left but smoke to breathe into Late night television laughter lighting up the smog long after you You're rolled tobacco, parkade people, hearts not used to beating bitumen Break the skin and drill for oil, wipe it up, is this called closure too Self destruction sold to people, can't afford the drugs you think they use I love it when you give me cancer, fill me up with tar long after you You're rolled tobacco, tucked your leaves in Standby watch your whole world burning You're rolled tobacco keep on breathing In the mess you got yourselves in You're rolled tobacco, tuck your leaves in, standby watch the whole world burning You're rolled tobacco, way of living, cigarette, I can't stop missing you

Mosquito 03:25
It happened outside, at dusk I took a long, long walk I feel it inside my skin first thing Sucking up blood, you think you need me to survive And make it through the flood, skirt gently one last time round your demise And I won't blame you for being cruel, you gotta keep yourself alive Go ahead and take the only thing I knew was really mine I pinched my skin and watched you feed I can't help but watch it bleed Mosquito Mosquito Mosquito Mosquito It happened outside, I felt my insides turn upside down And I realized, that we may as well both have drowned The past is past, whats done is done, its just an itch to scratch as we come undone I'll set it aside, til my heart decides to give the blood that keeps me standing here to someone else

Pigeon 03:23
KitKat wrapper stuck in your windpipe In your rafters, eatin garbage in the moonlight Coo coo coo Tarred and feathered, having gasoline insights Hiding from the weather, boiling up your egg whites Punch clock noon hour, cigarette butt lunchtime Whatever you can handle, is what's expected just to survive Coo coo coo Coo coo coo I don't care for We won't care for We don't care for you Eat our trash, we're busy rolling in cash Yeah baby we don't care bout you
