Local Anesthesia 03:07
lyrics

As I walk among the zombies, because it is the thing to do Mold us into what you are so I can shine like the stars Sleep, put our heads in the sand Fear all the things we don't comprehend Sheep, with our heads in the Cloud Powerless and frantic peeking through a shroud As I walk among the zombies, tracking devices in hand Watch them take another tablet, and devour the next big brand There are mixed emotions, about this mind-boggling paradise I take another pill, every time we roll the dice Looking through a prism, at the world that we create MRIs that read your mind, is this our future fate? Sleep, put our heads in the sand Fear all the things we don't comprehend Sheep, with our heads in the Cloud Powerless and frantic peeking through a shroud As we walk among the zombies, and see them for what they are Let's take a look in the mirror, and see ourselves as we are Mass distraction, main attraction Playing at a building near you

Energy 03:04
lyrics
buy track
It seems like this world is so full of lies A father is beaten, and a mother cries Now there's a child with tears in his eyes How do you explain that to him? We are balls of energy, capable of sympathy But there is one mystery, would someone please explain to me, How a ball of energy, incapable of sympathy Can try to tell me how to live my life? Look around you something is wrong This western world is upside down Anger and hatred are conquering us all There must be something that can stop this fall We are balls of energy, capable of sympathy But there is one mystery, would someone please explain to me, How a ball of energy, incapable of sympathy Can try to tell me how to live my life? All these wads of energy, vying for supremacy Dividing us to keep us in control All these wads of energy, exploited into dormancy Trying to scare us to our very soul

Clad in Rain 06:53
lyrics

Cool drops soak my socks Puddles pave the hard knocks Silver cords and steel locks Skipping stones and throwing rocks [Chorus:] Crackle of thunder, lost all the wonder Rumble and tumble, fumble and bumble Washed down the drain, makes my energy wane Wearing my pain, I'm clad in rain The worms they smell like rotting meat Feel the puddles splash my feet They fill the cracks and soak the seat As I walk the broken street [Repeat Chorus] Yesterday will never come No matter how long you dwell Yesterday is a different place Deep down, you know it's just as well [Repeat Chorus] Yesterday's the day we'll meet As I walk the broken street Skipping stones and throwing rocks The cool drops soak my socks

Remember 02:42

If I waited here for you And you waited there for me Then we never would have met Imagine how tragic that would get But that's not how it went And you and I are here At the threshold of this moment And the present is so near Chorus: Remember how we are today Remember how things are this way Whatever happens, come what may Remember to remember us this day If we were to find ourselves Across a million years We would still be together We will always be near

Leather weather, all together Pleasure measure, hedge of heather Edger wedge or fetcher fowler Flouter floater fetter flower Plotting platter, pitter patter Pleading bleating, beaded batter Plodding powder, power dower Tiding binding, biting sour Leather weather, ledger setter Pleasure measure, better fetter Gather glitter gilded fitter Blitting blotter bidding bitter Pleasure measure, dress of leather Better setter, dusting feather Wetter fetter, getting better Belted blather bed bellwether Leather weather, in the nether Pleasure measure, better tether Powder cloud or bout of feather Telltale tall tail telling whether Leather weather, boots of splendor Telling tattoo, fresh and tender Written render, tend the tether Fit and bend to live in leather

(A Song About) Nothing in Particular 02:07
lyrics
buy track
I really don't care if no one cares about this song I'm not singing for them or looking for where it belongs I'm not interested in making a brand, or copying some other band I don't even care if this song gets recorded If it never makes it to a stage, I won't worry or get enraged I don't care if it makes a difference in someone else's life It doesn't have a message and it's really nothing new It doesn't have a purpose, and it doesn't try to be a catchy tune, This is the chorus of a nothing song It's just here so you can sing along With the rest of the empty crowd It's a lot of fun if you sing it loud I'm not expecting anyone to download this I'm not expecting it to be a hit I'm not expecting anyone to care I'm not trying to take it anywhere This is the chorus of a nothing song It's just here so you can sing along With the rest of the empty crowd It's a lot of fun if you sing it loud

Hypofrontalism 02:35
lyrics
buy track
Eaten alive by life inside a lightless night induced by living in spite despite the right to find the meaning in the search for sight Left with a desire to want nothing but to be broken and transformed into something else entirely beyond this plight Hypofrontal (x2) Deeper in the eye of the mind with the time to think to find the sign that it is blind to the design behind the dream inside Clutching to a silver lining winding down a line of shining twine in your imagination binding time to open wide Hypofrontal (x2) This is not what you want This is what you thought you need This is not how you thought You just want to be freed In this place, in this room Covered face, synthetic womb Mind is melting, self is gone Conditioned to become Hypofrontal (x4)

Measure Theory 03:47
lyrics
buy track
The torsion tensor twists the measure With which we switch the gauge for pleasure And we'll live in that moment forever Until corporation come Long days have turned into long years And finally I've returned from those tears Yet it is not the same nor am I The change cannot be undone The metric we use to measure our lives Twists and stretches and changes with times Perspective is lost as we are transformed For we are displaced as we search for the norm Twisted affinities noncommutatively Transport the drift as we struggle for sanity Through currents we flow conserved via symmetry Convolved and refined then ground down by entropy You cannot return to how things once were You can come close but you can be assured If you do not change then something else will And something is lost for nothing stands still Every trial you face kills a part of you The memory remains but you leave a part of you No matter what the scars stay with you This is the metric to use to measure you
