Secretly Not Dead
00:17

We
Are the secretly not dead
Seeds sprouting beneath your cemented ideals
Cracking you up
When you break
The sun shines
And we breathe
Through our arms and our faces
Through the breaks in your pavement we reach
Here we are

Six in the morn
The noise is in my brain
Keeping me from eating Socks
The noise machine it cuts
through my brain
Not to say the incessant knocks
And that music
Flowing through my brain
Really seems to be a mock
Why’s it so hot
It’s burning my brain
I can’t stand this noxious pox
Carry me away I can not be today
Just want all of the time to fade away
Let the ego melt become the sludge
That oozes out of your favorite video game rendering device
Woo hoo!
La la
Empty Shell
On the couch
Empty shell
On the couch
Empty Shell
The book is gone
It is hiding on the
Big city train
Pavement and Sun
I will be passing on
The darkness will reign
Rain falls down
As I am gazing on
There is no hydroplane
Noise at my side
As I am getting on
All efforts are in vain
I just want to go where I can be
Left alone until I wake up naturally
Well it might be baleful and it might be wicked
But I can’t look away
But there is one thing that I really
Need to do today
Woo hoo!
La la
Listening on
Nothing else
Listening on
Nothing Else
Listening on

Turn New Leafs
04:02

There’s a sorrow in your eyes I wish I could get to know
I think I recognize the misery living in your soul
Although I know I can’t incite the insight even as it grows
And so I set that drive aside until it’s irretrievable
But it won’t go away
So I just keep going insane
There’s always a deeper inside
And the lights are all on bright so I can see everything
You’ll never hide from me
Now I found my voice
It was right next to yours the whole time
But they’re not ready for us
No they’re not ready for us (rep)
They’re not ready but…
They’re listening and they know exactly what we’re talking about
So Speak The Fuck Up
Just let go of all your beliefs
And come be a beast with me
Cuz when we turn off the machines
We will turn new leafs
Unplug, unlearn, unleash (rep.)
Unleash cuz…
They’re not ready for us (rep.)

Making Change
04:13

The hole in the sun increasing
Plasma flowing over it
Don't know how plasma moves
Don’t really care
The eye in the sky falling
Towards the giant splinter
That pierces through everything
With giant chunks of meat
River flowing ferry man stands
In his little boat
Better get a quarter from your pocket
Did you make change
Take in the sights they might be
The last you see
But don’t worry if you fail
You’re already where you need to be
Down down down
Down
Down down down down down
Down down down
Down
Down down down down down
Down down down down down down
Down down down down down
Down
The torch burning everlasting
Long as gas’ a flowin’
Trying to remember
When it lost all it’s fear
The rock rolling in the garden
Passing by the rabbit
Looking for the dog
Who will never come
Standing in a darkened bar
Denying death
Man comes over says you’re right
You can go on
Walking through eternity
Just looking for anything
Maybe even do some fucked up shit
And move on
Move on
Move on
And move on
Move on
Move on
And move on move on move on
Move on
Just move on

Tired and Alone
03:46
|

I’m so tired and alone
I’m so tired and alone and alone
But I do it for you, I do it for you
(rep)
Life is in a box
Life goes when your heart stops
My skin won’t break your breath
My brain won’t accept your death
My mind was so sick to sleep
Incomplete
But you gave my soul
Belief
I can do this
So I do it for you

One Step Ahead
02:26

Looking into the mirror
I saw a face that I didn’t recognize
Deep lines cutting through
Dark blue spots under the eyes
Less fire than there used to be
Shadows of dreams run dry
Unjust but well earned scars
Bellowing on an ever growing stream of sighs
Watching it all flash by
On my glowing computer screen
Just trying my best to
Stay one step ahead of the
all consuming machine
It’s 2 in the morning and I’m still awake
Can’t even get into bed
It’s 4 in the morning and I’m still awake
Can’t get outside my head
It’s 6 in the morning and I can see the sun rise
And wonder if I can make it through another day
Walking in a sleepless haze
Trying my best to pretend I’m okay
Gnashing and Thrashing until my teeth are worn down
Clearly I’m in over my head
The thing is it feels like I don’t have a choice
There doesn’t seem to be another path to tread
Stolen from every thing and one we hold so dear
Why must we all be cursed to live with such fear
It’s 8 in the morning and I finally nodded off
To a ringing alarm and a dry throat cough
It’s 10 in the morning and I wash the coffee down
Pretty sure I felt my last neuron get out of town
Chug and chug until I feel free
Isn’t being twitchy how life is supposed to be!
As we burn ourselves out for another man's bread
I really would just like to go to bed
I really would just like to go to bed
