At the Mouth of the Mountains

by Esos Picos

Side A

 

1. Bug

 

I want to end thyself

Don't want nobody else

To have the right or gun

 

And if you're still around

I'll meet you underground

Licking bugs for fun

 

What does this all mean?

What does any of this mean?

Why does he look at me?

Like such a creep

He’s gone now

It's gone now

 

I'm my father’s worst dreamt disease

I'm my mother’s heart enemy

Please leave before you get to know me

 

I'm not such a bad guy

 

 

2. Rooming Center

 

Calling from a lonely rooming center

That had me shaking at the knees

A pain that's always growing

I never thought I'd see you leave

 

I know just what you're thinkin’

When you kiss the empty air

You’ll build a brand-new person

Shake the smoke out of your hair

 

Darling, we've come as far as its worth going

The time has come to find new lights

Alien’s worth knowing

And for the final time tonight

You’ll build a brand-new person

Give him a happy, wholesome wife

Her kind excites with passion

The brightness shines out from her eyes

​

3. Real Desserts

​

Listen, I am doing the best that I can

The youth in me, slipping underneath

The soles of other people’s plans

You would run from all I hold deep inside

But lovingly

They come visit me

I'm indebted to their kind

For all time

 

Longing for a warm embrace

 

Piece of cake

In outer space

Just a taste

Will melt your face

 

It isn't me

That was meant to be

the lion at your feet

And when I say

that it's ok

I am lying through my teeth

Cause all I do

Is think of you

Ain’t it cruel

If I could ride

such a pretty sigh

I would try

And I would die

Longing for a warm embrace

 

Piece of cake

In outer space

Just a taste

Will melt your face

 

Stop

Beware

Of those waking nightmares

Watch for snakes

And shakes

The bombs falling out of the air

The air

4. At the Mouth of the Mountains

(Instrumental)

 

5. Gold

 

Home again

I remember just how it went

The holes in her head

Made you fear your own accidents

Well…

 

Oh, how the pain in you grows

When hope, is hiding under those soles

 

Alone again

Better off without those friends

Who get upset

From a simple, “Hi, how you've been?”

And oh, how the stain in you grows

And oh, how I want you to know

 

That now it’s good

Now it's gold

Now you're sweet

Now you belong to me

 

Surround yourself

With the people you're mad about

Expand your house

With the people you can't live without and

Oh, how I need you to know

These bad feelings, will eventually go

 

And now it’s good

Now it's gold

Now you're sweet

Now you belong to me

 

For now it’s good

For now it's gold

For now you're sweet

For now you belong to me

​

6. Whatever You Want

(Instrumental)

 

7. Aband-O-Mates

 

I love you Lex so much and you don't even know it

Trying to improve the way you look back at me

Get to a stage where I can improve my old habits

To a place I can live my own life, my own way

 

It's difficult to be someone you're not and stay quiet

This is a problem I face more and more every time

Every time I spend another grueling eight hours

Strange place where they reward you for being dumb

 

So who am I?

Who do you wanna be when they take it away?

And who can I? Who can I turn to in the darkest of days?

 

It's never gonna slow down like you want and you know it

So be sure to enjoy it before it’s all gone

The sweetest victories when the melody was won

So in love with the way that you are and don't know it

So who am I?

Who do you wanna be when they take it away?

And who can I? Who can I turn to in the darkest of days?
