Beat my heart, you.
Been so long, I fall.
And I swear so you don’t forget.
And I say it so you don’t forget.
I’m gonna lose my mind.
I can’t shake my life.
I won’t lose my time.
I can’t shake my life.
Whatever you, whatever you, whatever you say!
Body, body.
And I swear so you don’t forget.
And I say it so you don’t forget.
Been so long, I fall.

Granny Lands
03:56
|

|
Have you found gold yet?
You still excavate.
Put the cheques in envelopes, hide away your written thoughts,
Could you curb that trend?
Speeding through, escape through the countryside.
See the weeds bursting through the solarium.
Grin like a daisy-chain, murdering the poppy fields,
Suck away their health.
Can you stop the man you come from?
Nothing will fuel my greed.
I don’t want the bees to go,
Can’t we try to stop it all?
Face it, you’ll one day leave.
Have you found oil yet?
You’ll drill again.
Cheating funds flowing through the ol' granny lands,
Could you curb that trend?
Highrise castle on the waterfront,
Seeing all the baby worms dig into your dreaded home.
You have power, owner of the pesticide,
Could you curb that trend?
Can you stop the man you come from?
Nothing will fuel my greed.
I don’t want the bees to go,
Can’t we try to stop it all?
Face it, you’ll one day leave.
I know.
What’s my youth become?
50 years of growing up.
Put yourself before your God and you’ll become a plant.
What a waste of time,
We could’ve turned the tides.
Instead, your guilty head’s played it down again.
And I say,
"Please, there’s no way
you could just be
leaving here."
I know.

We Are Not Friends
04:09
|
|||
|
You never seem to listen.
You have no respect
Why do you make a risk for a selfish consequence?
And why do you take a breath when others need the air?
(Back in ’01,
Loving the shame.
Not in your heart.
Something has changed!)
You never seem to listen.
You have no respect.
You never see the difference.
You will be surpassed,
you will fall away.
And now the centipede has given me his arm.
And he disintegrates before the ticking dawn.
But when you leave this world, it all goes after me,
and I hate.
(Flare of the sun
Onto my brain.
Watch you become
Somehow so strange.)
You never seem to listen.
You have no respect.
You’ll always take my children,
and leave me lost.
(Back in ’01,
Loving the shame.
Not in your heart.
Something has changed!
Something has changed!
Something has changed!)
And now I have the symptoms,
You will keep me down.
I don’t know what will happen.
I’m losing my breath.
I'm losing my breath.
You will be surpassed,
you will fall away.

How could this be this simple?
[You wanna violate, you wanna violate.]
You’re feeling boxed or something?
[You’re not a part of it, you’re not a part of it]
We’re gonna lose our houses.
[A risk you wanna take, a risk you wanna take.]
I’m gonna leave,
So go to the streets.
Please concede,
The burden of life is something to touch and nothing more.
I’ve been waiting so long
To get out.
How could this be this simple?
[You wanna violate, you wanna violate.]
You’re feeling boxed or something?
[I’m/you’re not a part of it, I’m/you’re not a part of it]
We’re gonna lose our houses.
[A risk you wanna take, a risk you wanna take.]
I’m gonna leave,
So go to the streets.
Don’t you see?
The Sun isn’t gone.
The plants on the porch are alive as the crystalline sky calls them.
Tell the nurses so loud
That they’re good.
Please concede,
The burden of life is something to touch
And nothing to die for.
I’ve been waiting so long
To get out.
How could this be this simple?
[You wanna violate, you wanna violate.]
You’re feeling boxed or something?
[I’m not a part of it, I’m not a part of it]
We’re gonna lose our houses.
[A risk you wanna take, a risk you wanna take.]
I’m gonna leave,
So go to the streets.

Modern Life
03:45
|
|||
|
I can’t believe the termination of our modern life,
They’ll have to snatch my body overnight.
There’s nothing wrong with slipping out of life.
And what you’re hearing in the news is just a blatant lie,
There is no bombing in the square tonight,
There is no money in the square tonight.
And do they make these observations from an errant child?
The new decisions are too far defiled,
Would it be better if they reconciled?
And now it’s pouring through the windows like it’s merchandise.
I’m gonna leave before you say goodbye,
Into the forest and into the night.
How are you this certain, am I out of touch?
It won’t always be now.
You’re becoming urban, can you bring me luck?
It won’t always be now.
I see there’s no traffic and I’ve made my mind,
I’m not stopping for a red light.
I’m never stopping for a red light.
We’ll be denying all discussions that it can’t be done.
We’re gonna ruin it for everyone.
We’re gonna ruin it for everyone.
Torn apart by Martians, they don’t have my trust.
It won’t always be now.
I can be a sundial, I can be a part.
It won’t always be now.
You can’t discern your fence when you can’t see past your neck,
As we’re pondering if our planets will align.
My maker gives me a call, “This is not what we made you for.”
Wasting your energy on definitions and design.
But I tried to enter your domain, to keep me to today,
I’m becoming an owl.
They promised me I’m safe, but faces fade away.
It won’t always be now.
Tending the yuppie’s garden, will I leave this yard?
It won’t always be now.
Nothing will be burdened, bring me to the sun.
It won’t always be now.

Get Quiet
04:02
|
|||
|
In the thunder of a quiet day,
Rearranging boxes,
Sombre as the sun that’s so concealed.
As the barber on the corner closes in the maelstrom,
We can throw our hair onto the floor.
You’re not alone in this mess.
Go tend your flowerbeds.
I don’t really mind it when the world gets quiet.
Gives the world the time to breathe.
And I don’t really care if the world isn’t there.
It’s an awful lot to me.
As you dump your hate on all those people,
Even as the truth comes out, you want to throw your anger.
As time keeps me to an anchor,
Choking on my past contributions,
I want to see the Sun.
You’re not alone in this mess.
Go tend your flowerbeds.
You’re something in this mess.
Do you see flowerbeds?
And I don’t really mind it when the world gets quiet.
Gives the world the time to breathe.
And I don’t really care if the world isn’t there.
It’s an awful lot to me.
You’re not alone in this mess.
Go tend your flowerbeds.
And I don’t really mind it when the world gets quiet.
Gives the world the time to breathe.
And I don’t really care if the world isn’t there.
It’s an awful lot to me.

Breath
03:33

When they say it’s all somewhere else that you’re coming from,
It falls apart when the heavens says you’re all alone.
I wonder here if someone else could’ve lullaby’d.
I wonder here if heaven’s in life.
You’re watching so closely, I hope you’ll never fall.
I say I’m never gonna be a superstar.
One fine moment makes me free as a butterfly,
An anchor like this keeps me stuck in time.
What are you doing?
You’re pulling us down.
You were not just helping me,
You’re pulling me down.
And what are you going to do?
You’re weighing us down.
And what have you been waiting for?
You’re pulling us down.
You were a beacon,
Until you turned yourself into a bomb.
You were delightful,
As every day seemed to go on.
But no one was knowing,
What the difference was between you and I–
It was a different take.
A tear within the mind.
I know you–
Look at what this demon has done to me.
And it’s crickets here in the backstands upon my teeth.
Nothing but crickets upon my teeth.
Nothing but just crickets upon my teeth.

Say What You Feel
04:04
|
|||
|
You, sitting with the grapes in your lap.
Fall asleep to the bombs.
Recline yourself, upholster your walls.
Are you living out a life?
You think you’ll ever find the night?
Well, when the time comes, you’ll be beholding their grace–
You’re never in their place.
Won’t you say it, the way that you feel?
It will help you untangle the knot.
Are you empowered?
Are you reclaiming our lives?
How has this final delusion derived in your mind?
The problem’s not a tangram.
You know there’s something to say.
But when the time comes, your pride is the one that you save.
[You’re nothing but their slave.]
Won’t you spit out the way that you feel?
You could be dancing around with your head in your arms.
Just say it, say what you feel.
We’ll let our sleeves beat with blood as they want.
Fear has struck you down,
Anticipate a body blow.
Behind your shield, stuck in your chateau.
Are you proud to be a lie?
Become one in the rye,
But when the time comes, you’ll be the ones in the bay.
[I only know this way.]
I won’t be ripped away by another current at sea.
I won’t be torn apart from the burden of my needs.
I’m not a psychopath who would dare unthread the spool.
I won’t be a cinderblock on the floor of your swimming pool.
I won’t be led astray in the drip of my vitriol.
And I won’t be turning the gears at the abattoir no more.
You know me, I’ve always been so ready.
I said what I felt, I’ll say what I believe.
[In the Sun]
[Just say it, say what you feel.]
Lost in the gaze of the sun.
[It will help you untangle the knot.]
Monsters emerge from the cave.
Shackles unbound in my grave.
Lost in the gaze of the Sun.

CYA on MARZ
04:16
|

|
Pluming out of the stout,
refusing to shout a hint of our doubt.
It's here we pour out your fear.
The fear, the summary’s here,
results are all clear, the future we near.
Is this the last year of us?
The result of our blocs, the hatred’s in stock, the end of the clock.
The home is home, isn’t home for us.
Our time in the dust, you die for your lust,
escape from the rust, see you on Mars.
Would you like a slice of the earth to take home?
You guessed, you noticed. (Take home)
You shared your burden. (Oooh)
You dare deter them. (Take home)
And then, you hurt them all.
The wise cracks from the ones who’ve got no back.
The nightmares from the journeys through the black.
We’ve got no air, we’ve got no sea to drink.
You throw it down the black hole of the sink.
If I could hold your one-side hands again.
If I could hold your one-side hands again.
You guessed, you noticed. (Take home)
You shared your burden. (The ones who’ve got no back)
You dare deter them, (Ooooh)
And then, you hurt them.
You guessed, you noticed.
You shared your burden.
You dare deter them,
And then, you hurt them.
You guessed, you noticed.
You shared your burden.

Future Role
03:32

Autonomous robot, drone on the toast.
You do what they think they said. We all "feel so close".
Now that you've woken up, you've got your attention.
Get up. Why are you here again?
It's eating your conscience, the matter of matters.
Destroying the inside out... the world gets flatter.
Why don't you make it your own? The state of the scene.
Then again, you're bigger than they'll ever dream.
I'll been waiting here to burst through the bubble,
see all the insects and shake off the luddite.
I'll be searching for a lawful loophole,
one-use ether to make me sublime.
I've been worried 'bout my role in the future,
pushing the coals through and taking the sunlight.
I've been thinking about turning the heat up.
Taking those chances to push my head high.
