My dear friend, we're here again A very familiar place All was done, I thought I'd won A hollowed and fleeting taste I can't count the endless hours Perfecting your natural grace I see the end that I intend But can't find the path I should take I'll start again, I'll persevere But what's the price of perfection? I won't know until it's paid in full I'll be hunted and reviled I won't let them deprive me of this sweet, This sweet vision of mine. I'll be here Don't be afraid Promise me I'll make you so much more So grab, hold tight Cuz you're in for quite a ride…

Heavy News 04:24
A passing asteroid's been glancing at our atmosphere. The experts estimate collision any day. This beckons questions, tune it at eleven, keep it here. What's our disaster correspondent have to say? There's wildfires walkin' tirelessly this way But lucky us, there's flooding coming from a hurricane. Well, thank you. Next, there's a systemic epidemic too, That's not to mention growing tension and dissent. I see you people out there clapping your hands, The streets are paved with your atrocious behavior. A silent violence made its way through the stands, A riot quietly amassed in the graveyard. Hey Mr. Radio, you got it twisted. Let me whisper shady ol' truths... I know Better than the vile Demons and their lies Spittin' la da da da die. Oh no. I won't Be a player in your puppet show, Shove your confirmation bias La da da da die. Just in, there’s massive massacres occurring here and there. And krakens attacking capitals, Shit's gone wacky everywhere. I can't believe you people clapping your hands, A bunch of brazen bastards bumpin’ your politics. No longer silent and the violence expands, Parade your petty pride above the apocalypse. Hey Mr. Radio, you got it twisted. Let me whisper shady ol' truths... I know Better than the vile Demons and their lies Spittin' la da da da die. Oh no. I won't Be a player in your puppet show, Shove your confirmation bias La da da da die God damn, You can't win my silence. Sovereign defiance Swelling up to suffocate the truth. Choking down your blue pill, Crawl back in your molehill, Gallows are beckoning you. Hey Mr. Radio, you might have missed it But your dirty tricks are there for all to see. A bloody torrent in the forecast for the rest of time. An arthropod eclipse, a colossal frog and it's hopping mad. Maintaining this is fictitious political hogphooey Even as you wallow in sorrow 'cuz that frog swallowed up your fam. Egregious lies, you say? It's right in your face. A mass extinction affair that's passed the brink of repair. And now there's polliwogs the size of ships and covered in spikes, Swimming in crimson rivers flowing through your cities, even still you deny. Hey Mr. Radio, we'll never listen We got intuition and that's all we need. Now all that's left is just a hellish scene of endless bones. Scowling survivors shriek with glee as we eviscerate our own. Then parts the sky as the messiah rises through the crowd He pleads for peace and lo we weep as freedom guns him down Hey Mr. Radio, you're decommissioned Our humble perdition upon your grave.

Peas & Love 02:55
I'm a-smitten Pleased as a punchbowl A skippin’ beat that slapped a patch on my heart hole, Ooh You’re the freshest squeeze, A bee with lots of knees, Yeah, baby, you got it all! I can't believe that We have so much in common Like how we sneeze when we inhale too much po..ahchoo! Bless you. When you're glad you laugh and When you itch you scratch Honey, you got it all I wrote you a la la love song, My heart is singin' for you And I'm singin' along, we go "Bee-boppa-doo-doh, badoo-bee-doo-wah" Baby, you're one of a kind What are the odds We're both allergic to arsenic? And neither one of us can See in the dark, it's Weird! We're two peas in a pod No, ain’t a single flaw, Can you believe we're BOTH peas? When you snap and crackle you pop-shoo-bop, honey And when you know you happy you clap-shoo-bap Can't get enough. You’re unlike anyone, You love having fun. Surreal. I wrote you a la la song, My heart is singin' for you And I'm singin' along, we go "Bee-boppa-doo-doh, badoo-bee-doo-wah" Baby, you're one of a kind A billion stars out there Somehow we both wound up on this one You must be destiny I can’t think up another reason. I know that this planet ain't a star, but What I meant was Something like a metaphor That's a comparison between two things that aren't alike but kinda are, see, earth and stars are both celestial bodies… I love the way you got a Head on your shoulders I love the wrinkles that you'll Get when you're older When we're cold and blue I'll still be there by you, And I'll still rage for that booty I wrote you a la la la la love song, My heart is singin' for you And I'm singin' along, we go "Bee-boppa-doo-doh, badoo-bee-doo-wah" Baby, I'm so glad you're mine, mine "Bee-boppa-doo-doh, badoo-bee-doo-wah" Baby, you're one of a kind

Sirens 03:39
I count the time I've pissed away in hiding And I count on finding solace in their song But in pacing through these halls Digging nails in to the walls I've grown tired of their prying eyes a-spyin' They say the life you got is what you make it But I've starved myself in comfort for too long I'm invigored with a drive A crusade to feel alive So let's bounce before they wake up and they find me Grab your bootstraps, boys Buckle up And we out on the loose (You can't escape us! Nah, we c-c-comin' for ya) Got my two step Winning grin My finger guns are ready to shoot (Ooh wah wah wah-ooh, wah wah oohwah) I'm gonna dance all night I got a hankerin' to shake off some blues (You done a bunk, we'll get you, boo) At first I find the atmosphere delicious As I join them in their jaunty jamboree Then a crack and I can hear The neurotic itching fear Of the amplifying dissonance behind me They say you oughta dance like no one's watching They're a telepathic chorus in my mind With their laser guided eyes Firing leers as sharp as knives A pariah gone awry Ah, just come find me Strap my boots down, girls Buckle up And I'm back in the noose (You can't escape it! Nah, we g-g-gotcha gotcha!) I feel your cold grip Chilling grin Bringing tons of nothing to lose (Ooh wah wah wah-ooh, wah wah oohwah) I've had enough limelight Oh won't you tuck me in and sing me the blues (Welcome home we missed you) Sing me sweetly to my doom And I know there's no escaping I'll wait it out I'm the one on the line here So I'm getting my fill And if you had just what I want I wouldn't need it now Brother, sister, please don't shame me Silence so loud But I promise I'm fine here I'm just getting my fill And if you had just what I need I wouldn't want it now But I need it now And I know there's no escaping I can't hold out I don't know that I'm fine here But I'm getting my fill And if you had just what I need I think I want it now This ain't how my mama raised me Silence so loud But I'm out of time They're coming in for the kill Say that you got just what I want Because I need it Gimme all you got Because if not They're gonna drown me out

Trade away 401ks For a beach and sunny days Overdue But that ain't gonna crush us Bet we're shattering the glass, Or we're gettin' nowhere fast Rise at noon, And cause a little ruckus. I'm too high To ever touch the ground I'm too cool To ever settle down We're so pretty We should run this town, Draining veins until I drown. Hold on, scratch that. It would seem That one got away from me, Moving on, That's just my sense of humor. Overlooked and underpaid, And that's always been the case But we're young. And we will change the future. Memes for days What's trending? I can't wait. Swiping left Until I see a bae I'm just like you I struggle but I slay Whatcha say? Can I partay? Out here vibin' in my scene Living only to be free Fingers up To anyone above us What a lovely sea of peeps, Better hit my live stream, It's ya boy! Be sure to give a thumbs up. Please, oh please, just let me come inside. I'm so hungry And I'm lookin' fly. I can rage, I promise I don't bite, Ready for another lease on life. Gimme the music, This beat is too sick, I wanna drink til I get stupid, Come on and lose it, That vital fluid I cut loose when I move my hips. Let's hear the bass hit, I wanna taste it, I wanna rejuvenate again. What's that about? (Oooh) I'll spell it out (ahhh) We're BFFLs, at least for yours. Sangre. Dame tu sangre. Quiero beber toda tu sangre. Gee, well that was fun, And I've never felt so young. A success if there ever was one. Guess my secret's out, oh well. No one here is left to tell. Taking flight, I race against the sun. I'm too high To ever touch the ground I'm too cool To ever settle down I'll stay pretty, I'll always be around The royal young will never let you down. Gimme the music, This beat is too sick, I wanna drink til I get stupid, Come on and lose it, That vital fluid I cut loose when I move my hips. Let's hear the bass hit, I wanna taste it, I wanna rejuvenate again. V-A-M-P-I-R-E SUCK IT!

Split and splinter til we timber, Kindle cinders til we burn. You dregs declare a destiny, You think that you deserve. Stake your claim and raze away Eliminate and reaffirm, You'll make way for your world. Displacing and replacing any race that's in your way. Defacing every place you seem To think you've come to save. Gonna grant you goons some guidance, Greatest gift I ever gave, Getting greedy's gonna get you, And I guarantee your grave. What’s wrong, great unearther? Can you breathe, usurper? Once you’re under, You’ll be one of us. Hopelessly immobile as you root into the ground, All your skin begins to harden to a thick and rugged brown. Every limb will pierce your body from the trunk out through the crown. Still it's nothing like the suffering you've wrought the world around. What’s wrong, great unearther? Can you breathe, usurper? Petrified, Watch as we devour what remains.

You’re undeniably stupendous. You make me feel like my whole body’s a high five. So why would I just up and end us? It’s a deep well, but let’s take a dive. I took a hard look in the mirror, Hoping I’d find the missing screw that I knocked loose. The answer growing ever clearer Locking eyes with those sweet baby blues. I’m lost inside this part of me I realize I just can’t stop, won’t stop wasting all my time. I know it’s such an old cliche, But baby it ain’t you, it’s me So long, kiss me goodbye. Is it cool if I talk? I don’t wanna be a babblin’ bother, but I’m bubblin’ up. You know, I gotta share that I’ve been living in despair in my own hell all alone upstairs, And that act is whack, I’m a big, fat bag of crap With a sham smirk, and a fake laugh at that, So I’m going on indefinite sabbatical An Introspective venture meant to make a more radical me. Maybe I’m a little bit selfish, But I dug this hole myself. It’s not on you, so pat your back son You deserve better than a fractured fraction. This fine reflection’s got me flexin’ Done with the wrecked head neglectin’ Baby, you’re a catch but I caught what I want And he’s got two thumbs and he looks this hot. I’m lost inside this part of me I realize I just can’t stop, won’t stop wasting all my time. I know it’s such an old cliche, But baby it ain’t you, it’s me So long, kiss me goodbye. Now listen up, shorty. I know you’re hopin’ for the day I stop pokin’ holes in every possibility that might bring me peace. I never meant to be a never ending lemon squeeze in those sizable eyes, But surprise surprise, This doggone body’s got a silly oblongaty, And he needs me, baby. I think I’m losing my head, But he’s in unison with every thought I got, No need to speak, In sync in every way. We’re jinxin’ day and night and owing colas left and right, Believe me, this isn’t easy. Nobody loves me like you do, but I gotta love me too. Mama mia, I’ma need a shrink. I’m lost inside this part of me I realize I just can’t stop, won’t stop wasting all my time. I know it’s such an old cliche, But baby it ain’t you, it’s me, I mean it. No hyperbole, no really. You’re not listening. It’s literally me.

The great beyond is underwhelming. A waste of effort I mean, at first it had its charms. I ran ‘em through and through I’ve touched the stars, witnessed creation Loved, lost and lassoed I’m out of new, sound the alarm Infinity eats you. I'm bored, I'm buggin' and I'm brazen. My bones are buzzin’ My after-bucket list is wiped. I miss the other side. Then, from the black, prances a presence, He’s got a cool hat. He whispers “you should get a life.” My spirit starts to rise. All aboard, come and cease to be deceased, You wanna be where the grass is greener? An incantation, a corporeal feeling, A breakthrough, a breakdance, I can’t resist Hi diddle dum diddle dee die dee dee Hi diddle dum dee die. Hanging euphoria by a thread, Just out of reach as it ever was when I'm dead. I wasn't satisfied to begin, I wanted more than the everything at the end. Shaking my legs, infused with new sensation The mortals retching at my restoration. What am I doing wrong? Perhaps it’s the putrescence. You’ve been bamboozled, kid. I thought I wanted this. Waiting in eternity with eyes on the horizon, Every moment passing silently by. Careful what you wish for. Hi diddle dum diddle dee die dee dee Hi diddle dum dee die. Hanging euphoria by a thread, Just out of reach as it ever was when I'm dead. I wasn't satisfied to begin, I wanted more than the everything at the end. All this time I’ve looked away, Was it ever really greener? Never been here. Not really here, Keep chasing every fleeting hunger, And betting on the next. Waiting in eternity with eyes on the horizon, Every moment passing silently by. Careful what you wish for. Hanging euphoria by a thread, Just out of reach as it ever was when I'm dead. I wasn't satisfied to begin, I wanted more than the everything at the end.

Vulture 06:54
Dazzle with your crown Gaslamp lit by your renown So crude, our musings bound Lust and bones in soiled gowns We worship your name Take feed from our veins A hive for your reign Score our souls again Nail your child to your gospel Watch it burn Tell them all who they are You paint the earth in black and white And eat their praise Hallelujah Holy be thy words. Dangling swords above the herd, We worship your name Take feed from our veins A hive for your reign Extort our loyalty Nail your child to your gospel Watch it burn Tell them all who they are You paint the earth in black and white And eat their praise Hallelujah Mercy by your righteous hand Bestow your grace Tell them all how to think. So stupid, burdened by their senses Unlike you Hallelujah Justice in the throes After all, only God knows Bathe my whole entire world In pious flames Show me you're in control The vengeance flooding from your thin skin Heeds my prayers Hallelujah If I abandon dignity and bend my knees Could I still die in peace? I’m just so fucking tired. You’ve taken everything, And still you think that you deserve our love. So ego goes. Fuck your hallelujah You’ll prove in time you’re just a vulture in savior’s robes.
