Every Fucking Face
01:44
|
|||
Every face you see is hollow
Everyone who looks back at you
Just a husk with no real feelings
Just a place holder to make life full
No one here could care about you
No one here could ever hurt you
All alone when you're surrounded
All alone forever, but without peace
Everything is fake
Every face is painted on an empty skull
Everything is fake
Every mind is empty (stop, no control)
Every piece of cake
Every breath of air is just imaginary
Gulp down dreamt up drinks
Talk to your non-player family
How can I talk to anyone
Knowing that they will not not hear me
Shout into a blackened cavern
Reverberant discordance, bounce back to me
Shaking bewildered unnerving
Wondering why I complained before about being lonely
Overwhelm, placatory dreaming
Curious if there is anyone like me!
Everything is fake
Every friend you have is just a damn illusion
Everything is fake
No one here is real, it's just us
Humans: simply dolls
Crafted out of pieces of organic matter
Gods are scientists
Simply programmers making large computations

Joyous Mist!!
01:08
|
|||
I'm filled with feelings, feelings of happiness
It was encroaching, now the mist feels welcoming
A smile on my face, pasted there quite randomly
Obscuring nightmares, replace them with dreams
I look up and they're smiling down at me
Angels in lab coats with bone and teeth jewelry
I tell them nonsense in exchange for stories
Ones I will hear before I go to sleep
Oh, oh, this mist is joyous joyous
Oh, oh, this mist fills up my brain
Oh, oh, this mist cleans out our bad thoughts
Oh, oh, sublimate me
It takes my hand, running away from shit life and related feelings like sadness
Parting ways with my surroundings, bedim the offensive, fly away with me
All of time stops and I am breathing heaven
My life nods off before it goes to sleep
Tame my thoughts they let me focus feelings
Sad dudes are nothing but the past
Oh, oh, this mist is joyous joyous
Oh, oh, this mist fills up my brain
Oh, oh, this mist cleans out our bad thoughts
Oh, oh, sublimate me

This is not dead time, throw me out of line, this is not dead t-
Fuck, yeah, dead time

Here it comes, gonna die. where's your god now?
Look out fool, time is now: failure to comply? NO
Please don't cry, I will laugh; way too funny
Close your eyes, sleep real tight: this is your end!
Imma roll ya up (an beat the shit outcha!)
Imma roll ya up (an beat the shit outcha bitch!)
Imma roll ya up (an beat the shit outcha!)
Imma roll ya up (gonna beatcho ass with a muthafuckin pimp cayne!)
Pillow fights, always through the night we do it
Stars and moons, baby (holding hands in sex positions)
Childhood memories feed my brain images
Happy thoughts, my dear (killing house pets for sadist pleasure)
Pillow fights, always through the night we do it
Stars and moons, baby (keep those hands in those positions)
Childhood memories feed my brain images
Happy thoughts my dear (now take it down a couple half steps)

Soft Sun Spots

Soft sun spots
Things above are helping me by staying cool
Don't melt me, I don't want to be the same as some damn ice cube
She used to have such clean white teeth, what exactly happened?
I sit alone, I'm doing nothing
Talking to my friends, telling them that I've just been so god damn busy I haven't been free. No. Not. Never.
But in truth I have just been sitting, locked up in my room, staying awake
Asking the scientists, programmers, please just spare my life, I'm a copy
Will you wait? I'll show you
Just you wait. I'll feel you.
Drink coffee
Yes, I think I'm normal now
Play baseball
Yes, I think, I'm good enough
I'd take a break from watching people, never saying a thing
What you do now is as weak as lying
I know in fact that I'm not above crying
I sit alone, I'm doing nothing
Talking to my friends, telling them that I've just been so god damn busy I haven't been free. No. Not. Never.
I'm not alone, I'm never alone.
I'm not alone, I'm never alone.

I'm Fractal
03:05
|
|||
I'm a pattern, twisting infinitely
I'm repeating, revealed in the spiral's melting
Dripping into technicolor lightning
I'm a fragment of something that I know is greater
I'm fractal, don't despair
Dying just couldn't compare
I'm fractal don't despair
When the sun blows up I'm bound to remain here
Days are so fast, spinning planet blasting
Through the cosmos, faster than the greatest rocket
Grab a comet, break it with your fingers
Be delighted by the sounds below our human hearing
I'm fractal, don't despair
I'm but an endemic atom in a camera flash
I'm fractal don't despair
I feel beautiful with all of you in this infinite blip
So know us now, as we forge our own path embracing everything that we choose not to ignore
And it means much more than nothing, that we're all untitled somethings, and yet we all take it to heart to name ourselves
Don't get stuck in yourself, and don't serve only you
Build up from all the bleak
Take root where you believe
And spread the good word as we burst from the film
The soft light does burn things
Fret not friend, hold on to here
