One Time For Ya Boy! 03:06
lyrics
buy track
Extremities How you doin this mornin? I’m pulling off my exterior Please forgive me if I’m sore And I said, quick remedy Couldn’t get up in the morning Marvelous moving picture Maybe I like it even more Through the brine My life is mine Don’t you ever underestimate my power It’s 40 time Non-euclidian plot develops Another snarl Won’t get me far I don’t want to know what I’d do without you Im a shit umpire There’s a feeling so inept A tunneling spider web A bother to attend to A fleeting functional moment A credence concerning atonement

Scientists Are Baffled?! 03:23
lyrics

Have you tried to rebuild each hour? We whispered the most personal things Obtuse conceptually Acute at the points cause they sting Wings and drinks So ineffectual In tune with self immolation Oh god I feel so small Sky, The purple nebula I was lucid one day then I died Like woah, Progress spherical And all alone, my penmanship seems fine Fundamentally not unlike The disintegration of the bone I tried to embalm my life Before the sun went down One dimensionally Simplify into a spectrum Left and right never up or out My life feels so small The literate philistine inside

Lemma (10 Dimensions). 02:55
lyrics
buy track
The depraved fool feels sober today For perhaps seconds at a time Enough with all formalities The rest of the world tends to feel benign In tune with several mental descriptions of terror A furrowed brow no matter where the sounds In which to make amends 10 bridges that anxiety ended 10 fires once again If like, the creases in my pants hadn’t been there for years I’ve never gone outside and I’ve never looked within One voice in particular is so troubling Flaws flow like nah nah nah

The Cement Floor Is Crumbling! 03:53
lyrics
buy track
These vines, they reach through the ground The cement floor crumbles, making a deafening sound I yell to the heavens to help me out of this hole Metamorphosis with color gradient skull The demons have reached me in my house My platinum skin reveals burns The stories said I was invincible Miserable but none of your concern I walled myself in, I know that was my fault I never thought that my plan was so flawed Break the heart but polish the soul until it shines But the structure is unsalvageable, I opine This blue is changing into red Matching the fires lit by the demons I never thought this day would come This noiseless cinematography, Wake up like wake up like late for death How dare you expect me to reinvent the wheel I failed when I attempted to implement my tech Blue, red, now gone Aghast at the ending This blue is changing into red Replenish the fires lit by the demons Relinquish the sorrow in my head I never thought this day would come Remember to breathe The demons have reached me in my house My platinum skin reveals burns The stories said I was invincible Miserable but none of your concern These vines, they reach through the ground The cement floor crumbled and left a deafening sound And now I’m left here, surrounded by dust What the fuck do I do now?

Questions Unanswered? 03:26
lyrics

I took a look and erased it all Watched all the memories fall Like flowers, my flowers And with a snark I look again Fearing what the clock presents Bookended by bewilderment Godlike, swindle prospects In such gravity, yes it strangles me Fire, kindles faster Yes it burns me, yes it burns me Obsolete art stands untouched My body is so fucking lost Illusion, all illusion Grimace like a grayscale grin Innate distrust rumbling Like doubt that spreads, virus in my head Disinterested mind body and soul Triumvirate, distrustful hole Insipid infection exponentiates all that I know It comes so fast that I infer These are all my questions left unanswered Unanswered Water, freezes over Yeah it strangles me, yeah it strangles me Fire, of my lyres All that’s left of me, all that’s left of me

Synthesizer Zero! 05:19
lyrics

A crease that bends the words on the page to finance viruses Trends smear my head, I fee self aware, but sometimes it gets into a mess Then you wake the fuck up and you realize that your head’s always in your hands I once remembered that a metaphor didn’t quite have to end so sad A single point, a dotted line Continuous, a terrible time Restart again, I feel insane, Defame myself, I'll never be the same Caressing legs, I love it all, and your soul especially As you walk away, I can’t give a fuck, I can’t heal gradually I'll find a way, revive again, and again till I make a path Faux paradox soul, I'll bury the holes, and we’ll hold hands and laugh Believe in me, please nurture me, as I attempt with everyone I’m not as heartless as I seem to be, I’m loving like the sun Paint flows from me, skin inherently stained, this palette is who I am Place your voice on me, and leave your imprint, please influence my design Inside my head, I’ve been all dead, my loved ones raise me from the hole Inadequate, pride down to the seabed, I’m impotent and cold I can’t trust my body, I can’t trust my mind, I want to whither away Don’t trust anybody, I don’t trust I’m alive, I just want to whither away But I lay there, can't stop myself, my consciousness is all gone My eyes are blank, I threw my brain right into the sun Tear off my limbs, break off my heart, and leave it beating slow Look around in fear, and brace myself, I truly am all alone This calendar obsoleted fast, my soul will never bloom I wandered home, then I barricaded every way out with old wounds The swords of life, collective strife, we’ll hold our hands and pray I’ll huddle with my phone, and send some texts while I look for that one day

If I Were Was I'd Be Now. 03:16
lyrics
buy track
Electric stress is all than I am Just eight more days in the week Don’t fret, upset my modus operandi Nightmare in a form congregate I hope I remember to eat today I don’t remember how my voice sounds Lost a few things in my pockets Screwing around Why’d no one tell me I haven’t moved in days With no limbs, I find my heart leaking depression This bad day’s lasted some years Figurative, haunting manifested Method acting’s lost its allure Walking back in forth in spontaneity No no, I read about that shit online it don’t work for me With a snark, maybe admit addiction If I were was, I think that I’d be now I hope I remember to eat today I don’t remember how my voice sounds Lost a few things in my pockets Screwing around But I refuse to admit my worth Cause thinking about anything hurts

Human Zero Alpha_ 03:47
lyrics
buy track
Indeed, I felt quite out of place Indulge to feel better but my throat feels like mace I only have finite ways to talk to another I only have conversations that fit the space Wake up like 20 voices that all want me dead They flirt with me like they know I pretended to live On god I hear god but it’s replaced with my voice Atmosphere devoid of hope leaves me quite annoyed Just one more try it’ll work this time Featureless firmware believes in design Trying, try again, I’ll believe in myself I’ll update that shit, and I’ll end up just as well I wish I looked good in this lingerie I wish I looked good in anything I always look back when I look out back And some formalities regarding anxiety attacks The sunset mediocre, purple as my visions The world looked strange, I surveyed my surroundings Not enough dimensions for each partition So many blisters left from the wind I packed up everything in order to be prepared I wished that everything could be wrapped up the same way I vowed to never look inside, I just stop and stare I just wish that everything wouldn’t make me afraid The gods all believe in me I was little star just waiting to explode The thoughts of war; I know I’m going to break in two My heart is starting to push all the fucking way inside My god I’m gonna die I can’t find a way I’ll never give up
I’ll never give up again And now we’re alone Each minute, each second I’ll remember for us My skin is floating away I’ll never give up
