the sun was rising ten feet tall it just popped up to save us all
another god damn miracle it would seem
well your life’s not that plannable so it's understandable
to live like an animal dodging a cannonball
Herbert George Wells knew it all outstretch your tenticals please
well we're running out
we're running out, we're running out of air
Atmosphere
well your life’s not that plannable so it's understandable
to eat like a cannibal Fuck like an animal
Herbert George Wells knew it all outstretch those tenticles please
well we're running out
we're running out, we're running out of air
Atmosphere
now all these observations might not seem so polite
but don't say that I'm wrong as I sing you this song
if you feel that I'm right
please don't think for one second the end isn't niegh
it hovers like a vulture with a gleam in it's eye
on the day of your judgment how will you say goodbye
I'm attempting to scratch mosquito bites sitting around the camp fire light
as we converse delightfully the benifits of de-evolving
I get so damn dizzy When I feel this merry-go-round
well we're running out
we're running out, we're running out of air
Atmosphere
why the Fuck won't you save me
Cannabalise.

cops in the bedroom forming a question
my misdirection i don't know
it's such a nice badge, pen and a note pad
sorry about that i don't know
cut all the crystals cock all the pistols
malevolent evidence aurora borealis
wait a minute cattle prod, way to put it
way to put the blinkers on
where to put the blinkers
cops in the ceiling shapes were revealing
dodecahedrons i don't know
cut all the crystals cock all the pistols
malevolent evidence aurora borealis
wait a minute cattle prod, way to put it
way to put the blinkers on
where to lose the blinkers
it's my right to be defiantly a world away
enlighten me am i not worthy
paranoia, cops and lawyers
leave me down here
wait a minute cattle prod, way to put it
way to put the blinkers on
where to lose the blinkers
it's my right to be defiantly a world away
enlighten me am i not worthy
wait a minute...

leave it on, high definition demise

Automatic Everything

I didn’t know it would be so automatic the lights shone down spun round erratically but when I went to run I think I took a wrong step a burning bridge of past regrettably so I just sat back on my couch and I grew old
now we know we’re all gods with developing souls so we say what we think but we do what we’re told we consume everything that we’ve been sold now we’re stuck in a genetical survival mode
a few stimulants to keep life interesting this bottle of beer is my medicine to ward off the plague that chained me in release me
I didn’t know you’d be so charismatic a bright spark light dark japanese anime now you’re trapped in the comic book you created a big trouble thought bubble popped so viciously please don’t sit back on your couch and just get old
now we know we’re all gods with developing souls so we say what we think but we do what we’re told we consume everything that we’ve been sold now we’re stuck in a genetical survival mode
a few stimulants to keep life interesting this bottle of beer is my medicine to ward off the plague that chained me in release me
eating the earth with the freedom of trade songs that I sing are a cheap serenade to mother of earth and the potion she made turned into poison and a cage
so proud of our sons and the rate that we grow in actual fact I would rather not know sink with the ship before it implodes here come the sirens as we blow up everything

Over Capacity
06:14

I was the black hole and you were the summer doll you were laughing and smiling at me I couldn’t breath I was over capacity like a dark distant dream
I was the red sun and you were the feathered one and you were spiraling down to the sea I couldn’t breath I was over capacity as the waves set you free
well the week that landed taught me to survive then I woke up one morning and I’d turned 25 I couldn’t breath I was over capacity I was down here down
I was the black sun and you were the other one and we burnt when we touched so it seemed I couldn’t’ breath I was over capacity chained to our own third degree
the pill I just swallowed helped me to survive but I woke up the next morning and I’d turned 35 I couldn’t breath I was over capacity I was down here down
a tear full of memories floats down to the floor I scream at the referee as I question the score it smashes into shards and I slice up my hand as I try to force the pieces together again
do I want to use the telephone or is it just a fucking pheromone down I was down

I won’t swing and stake my claim right here chain you to your chair corroded alienate you peers win for me

and I won’t go away
hey where you going to? I didn’t mean to be so rude I’ll swiftly change my rhythm and attitude a vegas invasion fortitude and you can win for me
(like a letter bomb) not quite what you expected but were you the one who re-elected this broken right ring coin infected win for me
and I wont go away

Have It All
02:56

Hey little brother
Why you be covered in darkness
It's not such a hassle
To break off the shakles of night
Persistanly resist the truth
And watch it tumble down on you
The alien begins to move
But this is my world
Hooray your way off course
And all the signs are pointing directly at the ground
You've got to learn to laugh it off
Hey little sister
Ring up the mother of madness
If your chasing nirvana
Tell her you don't want to fight
Persistanly resist the truth
And watch it tumble down on you
The Alien begins to move
But this is my world
Hooray your way off course
And all the signs are pointing directly at the ground
You've got to learn to laugh it off
Or you'll regret what you missed when you turn around
Don't sell your grin to get in
Smile like a crocadile
Then get up again
Raise your fist and sing
Why have it all
When I have it all

Easy Graceful Descent
05:01

you can see the audio by listening to the sights but you couldn’t tell your third eye from the first one I don’t know where this checkered flag should go In this time lapsed race for complete control step frame by frame through visual emotion
you’re born to live to hate it frontal lobe won’t accommodate it your syndicate has indicated that you don’t want to be vindicated bare in mind you’re the next in line to see
a jaded iris heart and a coke bottle lens head so you wouldn’t put your third eye past the first one now you’re all psyched up to kick these stones but you broke your foot on a rock that wouldn’t roll now eternity will change it all for ever
you’re born to live to hate it frontal lobe won’t accommodate it your syndicate has indicated that you don’t want to be vindicated bare in mind you’re the next in line to see
hold my hand were going under broken dreams that crack like thunder carrouseling inward outward onward downward spiral not to make an easy graceful descent down

Hysterical Hysteria
08:00
|

|
i'm not about to lose my cool in apologetic rocket fuel
but then i feel it rising in the back of my neck
guess there’s no surprising offensive dialect
now i'm not about to forget your name
but you'll have won my first born son if i get it wrong again
i'm all about a fantasy
but never try and start a war with something you can't see
she was waving politely
she was out in the crowd
she was a beacon of light
in the dead of the night
we blew the fire out
now i'm not about to just say your name
but you'll become a distant sun and alien again
i'm not about to break what bends
but never try and start a war that you can't win
she was waving politely
she was out in the crowd
she was a beacon of light
in the dead of the night
we blew the fire out
she's trying to spite me with her head in the clouds
it was black it was white be it wrong be it right
we blew the fire out
close your eyes and see me
malevolent development
