1.Drunk On Aluminium
Oh my, are you the beast again?
Is it the violence you like?
Oh my, I feel it crawling in
Gnawing, reptilian
In the lost, loney night
I wanna know
Cut out the sickness
Cut it in self defense
Cut the yellowing eyes
Skylines, bloody and cancerous
Color the dead patches
Make it white, make it white
Wild eyes, I feel the teeth again
Gnawing and imminent
In the lost, loney night
Oh my, give me the words again
Paint it aluminum
Make it white, make it white
2.Archaeologists
The archaeologists found
Some winged boy's remains
Stained by the fire and clouds
In the belly of a whale
The day the lightning came
The belly of a whale
The belly of a whale
The belly of a whale
The belly of a whale
The belly of a whale
The belly of a whale
Packed up and shipped to London
Discard, discard the rotted parts
Preserve the heart and lungs
Belly of a whale
Belly of a whale
Belly of a whale
Belly of a whale
Belly of a whale
Belly of a whale
Belly of a whale
Belly of a whale
Belly of a whale
Belly of a whale
Belly of a whale
Belly of a whale
3.Dead Letter & The Infinite Yes
I found a letter it read
'Our existence has serious side effects'
Turned on the television
It's telling me the world is collapsing
I think it's coming and it comes so fast
I'm hearing whispers of an infinite yes
And I don't know why it is
Our bodies are dead, why you look so sad?
And my therapist said
'We've evolved through a series of accidents'
There's been talk of chemical imbalances
Restless sense of detachment, nausea and or violence
I think it's coming and it comes so fast
I'm hearing whispers of an infinite yes
And I don't know why it is
I feel it coming, I think it's real and significant
I think I think I think a little too often
That's what my therapist said
We're alone in this wilderness
Left to choke on the pills and to feed on the viruses
I think it's coming and it comes so fast
I think it's coming and it comes so fast
I'm hearing whispers of an infinite yes
Our bodies are dead, why you look so sad
Our bodies are dead, why you look so sad
4.Weighty Ghost
I got out of bed today,
Swear to God I couldn't see my face
I got out of bed today staring at a ghost
Who forgot to float away,
didn't have all that much to say
Wouldn't even tell me his own name
Where'd my body go
Where oh where'd my body go?
Africa or Mexico?
Where or where'd my body go?
Where'd my body go?
Have you seen my ghost?
Staring at the ground?
Have you seen my ghost?
Sick of those goddamn clouds
Have you seen my ghost?
Staring at the ground?
Have you seen my ghost?
Sick of those goddamn clouds
Are you some kind of medicine man?
Cut the demons out of my head
You can't kill something that's already dead
Just leave my soul alone
I don't need no surgery
Take those knives away from me
Just wanna die in my own body
A ghost just needs a home
5.Murderer
They're gonna want it all back
They're gonna want it all
Are you a starving man?
They're gonna want it all back
They're gonna want it all
Are you a righteous man?
Throw the witches on the fire
You gonna burn 'em up?
Are you so violent, yeah?
You're gonna want it all back
You're gonna want it all
They're gonna cut your neck
Give me the words you said you liked
You're gonna want it all
Are you a violent man?
We were lovers in July
Then the lightning come
And then it don't come back
You're gonna want it all back
You're gonna want it all
You are a violent man
Throw the witches on the fire
They're gonna cut your neck
6.Search Party
Are you waiting for a miracle?
Are you waiting for a lightning bolt?
Are you waiting like a paranoid little boy?
Are you ever gonna come back home?
Do you really think the sky is falling?
How you ever gonna pick up the pieces?
Do you really think that anybody will listen?
Do you really think that anybody will notice?
I used to dream about saving the world
Now i just dream about the holidays
I used to write so many songs for my girl
Now all i think about is floating away
I think I need a big vacation
I think I need a big vacation
I think I need a big vacation
Out of this place
7.Astronaut
Do you still believe in God?
Said the preacher to the astronaut
I heard it's kinda lonesome there
Nothing to talk to but a cold, cold air
Tell me, tell me what was it like?
Did meaning fall from that celestial light?
Did it wrap you up in conversation?
Did it leave you like some ineffable nothing?
Are you feeling alright?
In the blink of a flashing, blinding light
Are you feeling alright?
Did you ever really feel anything?
Tell me, are you gonna come back?
Do you really think you're one of them?
They're gonna hunt you, they're gonna cut you
They're gonna open up your body and stuff you
'Til you say its written, 'til you make the payments
Leave you heaving in the twigs and the toxic
There's nothing inside
Tell me, are the words still paralyzed?
In the blink of a flashing, blinding light
8.Oblivion
Toxic Emissions
Modern Conditions
Flag out petitions
Lost in the distance tense
Link to the senses
Link to the nothingness
Laugh you are not there
Laugh like you do not care
Tension undying here
Soft and familiar
Wide eyed and innocent
Warm ways and imminent
Breathe in, breathe in
Breathe in, breathe in
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Lines in a paper
Black clouds and vapour
Now filled with summer
Light rains and meteors
Light rains and meteors
Holes in the universe
Crayons and scribblers
Infinite bellies burst
Cracks in the ocean, crack
Choke on the cosmic dust
What will become of us?
What will become of us?
What will become of us?
What will become of us?
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
9.Laser Beams
One day laser beams will cure my sight
Negative five, that's pretty much blind,
I wanna see things, you know
Stare so deep into the laptop light
Sip your coffee and stare,
Like you got something to say
But you can't say it cause it just 'aint there anymore
The black premonition flexed in his mind
Conversed with absolute time,
And space
And time and space,
And time and space,
And nothing really matters anymore
You can't say, don't ever say it
It's not tangible, it's not even relevant
A warm hand, a short skirt
A soft blanket, a trusty appliance
A fifty-seven in mathematics and science
An oxygen mask
They stick it and they never come back
Never come back anymore
Are you with me
Or am I wrong?
The silly old songs
Do they mean anything or am I just wrong
Am I just wrong
Am I just wrong
How did I ever get so god damn dumb
A foreign lick from a familiar tongue
It's not one you love, but it's familiar enough
Mouthful of teeth chewed up and spit on the ground
When I speak, I'm all words, just wide naked sound
Carelessly rendered and scattered around
Random, animal
Clumsily stitched together
Forever alien and forever altered
Floating in absolute time and space
And time and space
and time and space
and nothing really matters anymore
10.Miasmal Smoke & The Yellow Bellied Freaks
Donated her eyes
when she was young and shy
hated awkward breasts
and felt the yawn in skylines
with care
set sweet
to hear existent beat
to hold the tangable
and drift an ever so gently secound
summer sky
Donated her eyes
Donated her eyes
to feel her actual senses
so sweet 16
to feel what life was like
Donated her eyes
could you actually imagine if
