Still 1984 (Intro)
01:00
|

LYRICS:
I see we just can’t let go of the past my friend
Alas we’ve alluded to the prelude again
Making monsters out of men through our preconditioning
I scribe another intro with no ink inside my pen
No one’s listening
We were conquered through division
We chose our suffering
Delivered by a boys club we ain’t ever getting in
Illusions are only ever what we make of them
And we forget that our House of Cards is only paper thin
So we blow it back down and again we begin
New year new me but we’ve been here before
It’s still 1984?

We’ve Been Here Before
03:32
|
|||
LYRICS:
There's blood on the leaves it's autumn
Their brains are like sponges and war is what you taught them
The value of your privacy was once so important
Past tense
We speak of back in the day scenes like the past grass was always greener
Can you smell it darling?
The air was really cleaner
We evolved to something meaner delivering subpoenas
To bear witness to our slaughter on a planet sized arena
22 catches just wait until we stumble one
Yesterday’s news cancelling a stumblebum
No subjectivity opinions disrespected
Dissected by a temptress who eased us into tense stress
Our own pride and passion beats us until we’re senseless
Defenceless in fortress that is fenceless
This climate’s got me snowed in with a handful of technology
With these snoopers in the lobby shady and its frosty
No need to intervene these brats will kill their own economy
The right means used wrongfully
The right means used wrongfully
The right means used wrongfully
We woke up and it was still the night before
We’ve braved a new world since 1984
We’ve been here before
We’ve been here before
Trying to make a classic like it’s 1994
USA World Cup we already know the scores
We’ve been here before
We’ve been here before
We've been here before in a Gregorian calendar
Same old grievances just a new manager
We’ve been here before
We’ve been here before
Breaking bail conditions, impeaching politicians
Rioting in prisons, just stop and have a listen
We’ve been here before
We’ve been here before
Groups of parents stunned and disbelieving have gathered outside the scene of the atrocity
For many, the enormity of what has happened is still to sink in
I never asked to be here, assumptions blind you
That box in your head completely confined you
Cracked travellers codes he said so with bent notes
He said son don't be concerned with them folks
Meaning every Tom and Dick head and especially Harry
To survive in this world there’s a weight you must carry
Space time and relevance everything is just a measurement
The description you portray will tell if you never went
Barter with it all your soul if you choose to
Just keep your distance on that path so no one close will lose you
I miss you more
Trust issues are real
In a field with double agents falsifying deals
That appeal to the fearful and dispossessed guests
In this constructed mess controlled by the best minds
Best of times, worst of times toes in line
Mind control symbols can you see the signs?
The attack came sooner than most analysts had expected and was launched the pentagon says
In response to credible intelligence about the whereabouts of members of the Iraqi leadership
We woke up and it was still the night before
We’ve braved a new world since 1984
We’ve been here before
We’ve been here before
Trying to make a classic like it’s 1994
USA World Cup we already know the scores
We’ve been here before
We’ve been here before
We've been here before in a Gregorian calendar
Same old grievances just a new manager
We’ve been here before
We’ve been here before
Breaking bail conditions, impeaching politicians
Rioting in prisons, just stop and have a listen
We’ve been here before
We’ve been here before

Colonise (feat. DJ Kise)

LYRICS:
Fear
The spectacle of fearsome acts
Somebody steals from me
I cut off his hands
He offends me
I cut out his tongue
He rises against me
I cut off his head stick it on a pike
Raise it high up so all on the streets can see
That's what preserves the order of things
Fear
The apple pie turned to crumble when the locals had a purge
They didn’t like change who made our punch taste of turd?
An ancestral favourite recipe always crafted so respectfully
Until the giant outsiders came and abused their women sexually
Take your colonising asses back home
You’re all riddled with sin so don’t you dare cast that stone
Take those stones put them in a crack pipe and smoke until you’re dead
Leave our special leaves and take the coca leaves instead
But they didn’t leave they chopped down ancestral trees
And brought the natives to their knees until they were no longer free
Now there’s blood on the mud and bodies in branches
Heads on spikes, the new order has landed
The authoritarians decorated the place with black-and-white images
Commissioned from Protestant minimalists then concreted villages
A war on drugs, a war on your consciousness
Human factory farming and tests on your responsiveness
Wars fought over turf
Lives lost over pieces of dirt
Revolutionaries demonised
Mother Earth colonised
Stolen culture commodified
Wars fought over turf
Lives lost over pieces of dirt
Revolutionaries demonised
Mother Earth colonised
Stolen culture commodified
Modified genes each regime modernised
We don’t envy your responsibility said the free folk to their leader
As the greys arrived to watch the atom split and be burst
Over fragmented lands there is a new unrest amongst the species
When the tribes conformed to nations now that’s when they got greedy
What if these colonisers get their shit together and make it out to space?
And shit in the cosmos’ punchbowl and fuck the entire place?
The other dimensional light beings try to reach out to the Free-folk
Through the remaining ancient trees the ancient recipe was re-spoke
Into existence by rebel splinter cells
And the message rippled outwards with the help of some machine elves
But when the colonisers decided to kill God is when it really got complicated
But to explain that we needed to hire the best painters in the Galaxy to paint it
For it cannot be described in words or furthermore a song
And the moral of the story is we don’t truly know what’s going on
Open your eyes
On this plane of existence
But just please for Pete‘s sake just keep the punch away from shit cunts
Wars fought over turf
Lives lost over pieces of dirt
Revolutionaries demonised
Mother Earth colonised
Stolen culture commodified
Wars fought over turf
Lives lost over pieces of dirt
Revolutionaries demonised
Mother Earth colonised
Stolen culture commodified
Modified genes each regime modernised

Welcome To The Cult
02:58

LYRICS:
Agent orange
House plants remain as a reminder of the outside
The out of tune harp invites us to play something dystopian
No opium
Just a plastic poppy and a super soaker gun
That we choose to fill with past tears to wash away our sins, but
Lest we forget
Lest we forget
Still in debt to our forebears a life in disguise
The premise is the demise of a man with no plan
Conditioned by our forebears with beliefs that are banned
In our inherited scriptures heretic literature is needed
To make sense of this heresy in a Q&A the question is the therapy
The answer was never meant to be set in stone and left alone
We have the freedom to roam
And whilst we tread into the unknown
We must abstain from blindly following when on that lonely road home
Intuition is worth its weight in gold
The game is to be told and not resold back to us
Yo tengo una pregunta, I have a question señor
What is your philosophy on this fucked up situation you’ve been placed in
Your day is not wasted if you planned to waste your day
But in a haste to waste another’s you finally discovered
That Karma fucking hates you and this is why you suffer
Sufferer, sufferee, suffer him, suffer me
A suffrage, a pilgrimage, a pilgrim is a building which
You will build internally from insights on your travels
Whether 10 toes on the gravel or perched upon a saddle
Hmmm
Welcome to the cult
We survived the Armageddon by living in a vault
Everything is censored so you can not insult
Whilst you remain insulted washing wounds with teary salt
One phone call away from the relief of this burden
Put a good word in for me to ease this uncertainty
Would the burden be urgently need of addressing
Yes I’m guessing if undigested truths keep blocking my intestines
Mid-section stomach knots bad back traps tensing
Dopamine hits keeps us investing our time unwisely
Said the unwise man who just so happened to know a bit on that subject
Subjectivity’s a nuisance said the president
After all of his nationalist students started dropping acid
And all remained placid during a time of fear and propaganda tactics
Drastic measures drastic times
Constructed in the minds of some old rich cunts
Which stunts are the most entertaining for you Mr Rothschild
A goth child turns up to school with an AK
To take away another parents meaning in a not an OK way
Only one phone call away hey
Who bullied the bully and who bullied them
Karma’s having an audit until we all make amends
And then break friends again repenting sins
You’ve been here before in every life you’ve been in
Realising the end is the same as the beginning
Life’s a game are you winning and at who’s expense
Still on the fence about conscious capitalism in a prison our choosing
Whatever it takes to stop us from losing
Progressions and improvements and the dark side of movements
Welcome to the cult

LYRICS:
The not knowing of god will bring you closer to god
Said someone on a podcast I listened to
How odd and skewed is that vision you have on said subjects
That subletted knowledge you paid through the nose for
What did you hope for?
We’re stuck in a dope war with an institution that wants you compliant
They don’t really want you close to god just the dogma
A who gotcha moment isolated on the sofa
Divided watching Oprah with a tub of plant based ice cream
Unsustainable palm readings and nervous wrecks
Have you heard what’s next?
We’re all Hollywood prepped so it’s not unexpected
Just watch who’s elected in times of fear
Now the end is here there’s no audience for the credits
Who made the edits?
We should start a subreddit to help spread the news
Give the leaders psychedelics it’ll benefit you
Don’t forget to rate your trip on trip-advisor
And sale your expertise on Fiverr
To those who are none the wiser (thick twat)
Here we go again snake oil gets a rebrand
We only sale what’s on demand and what’s demanded is purpose
A self worth that’s worthless through some reverse self help quackery
Fictional flattery to recharge the batteries
Disney duck tales setting the stage with a heartbroken orphan
Waltzing around our self entitled importance
Emotions and endorphins triggered in accordance with today’s propaganda
Memes made on Canva circulate a chamber
Away in a manger no crib for a bed just some crypts for the dead
And unread scriptures of shit head emojis and incorrectly deciphered acronyms
There’s nothing ancient about what you are practicing
More false idols and the lies that we ask of them
Whilst basking in a mug shot in pretended paradises
Parasite recitals through the platforms of your choosing
Well done you’re still losing
What the fuck is life
What the fuck is this
Who the fuck are you
Can we make some sense of this
What the fuck is life
What the fuck is this
Who the fuck am I
How many fucks should we give
What the fuck is life
What the fuck is life
What the fuck is life
What the fuck is life
What the fuck is life
What the fuck is life
What the fuck is life
What the fuck is life
Yo I’m not sure they got the message
I’m trying to count my blessings
Study the fluorescence of the common insurrection
It ain’t a resurrection steal a rolly for my breakfast
And write until I’m left leaving nothing ambidextrous
Cancel out the phase when I’m working with the textures
Set the bars parallel some people are expectant
Spreading at accelerant slowly if it’s relevant
Stooping in my element avoiding most the medicine
Hear that I’m a veteran long, lost, unknown but malevolent
Forever venomous with dissertations worth of evidence
I’m sorry for the forest worth of trees I may have desecrated
In a no go zone created never celebrated
Needs must I breathe disgust in until they discuss this
Misaligned minor still needs readjusting
Psychological profilers getting flustered
At the prospect of delving in my brain like a dustbin
What the fuck is life
What the fuck is this
Who the fuck are you
Can we make some sense of this
What the fuck is life
What the fuck is this
Who the fuck am I
How many fucks should we give
What the fuck is life
What the fuck is life
What the fuck is life
What the fuck is life
What the fuck is life
What the fuck is life
What the fuck is life
What the fuck is life
Can we make some sense of this?
Can we make some sense of this?
Can we make some sense of this?

Hello Darkness
02:49
|

LYRICS:
Sitting in envisioning lungs filled up with nicotine it’s sickening
Inner voices speaking I can’t avoid them so I’m listening
No headspace
A dying planet on my shoulder so I’m carrying a dead weight
Expressing my voice digitally, on wax or on cassette tapes
Acoustically raw feel my passion it’s my best take
And that’s all I am offering
In this fleeting experience until silence is all I’m fostering
As they lay me down to rest and the worms eat my flesh
I wonder, how will they measure my success?
In silence they reflect on my life here
Death bed regrets and wrongs that I never made right here
It was an uncomfortable silence in those years we never spoke
It was simply the wrong note to end it on
Sorry
Without meaning we die slowly
Dying old and lonely singing
Hello darkness my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Time to break the silence
Let us break the silence
It's that House Of Pain scream damn right I daydream
But reality is tears rubbed in like face cream
Middle fingers in the sky screaming fuck you nice try
No time for a world that pies a nice guy
The removal of nuance
Don’t give a fuck for your wants or your dreams or your passions
Rationing our spirits for those who want to hear it
Whilst skeptical of those that are trying to get near it
But in the face of tyranny our silence was a lie
We must not remain silent even when we die
Drunk words, sober thoughts all portrayed in the arts
Dark parts and silent moments until death do us part
There is no ease in this nostalgia
Picking up the pieces from a distance I wish that I could hold ya
Find comfort in the dark, find comfort in the silence
Stand up tall and don’t be frightened
Be enlightened
Hello darkness my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Time to break the silence
Let us break the silence

LYRICS:
Look
The town crier bellows here ye, here ye
To some conscious pixels in an emergence theory
The town was painted red so we couldn’t see clearly
How the nationalists mind state cost their nation dearly
Dark and eerie grayscale and dreary
Pixelated souls eyes painted teary
On the road to Wigan pier somewhere I lost my sincerity
On a spiritual path with a shadow that scares me
A terror filled landscape where hell exists in heaven
The construct of thought deconstructed as a weapon
Televised aggression we haven’t yet created seconds
So we filmed the end first so our futures influence the present
Mind fuck lessons
A motionless procession
All filmed in frames and then scattered through dimensions
Where’s my fucking marbles?
The DeLorean is revving
In the fast lane fucked not knowing where we’re heading
I lost my my shit in the pit holding sands of time
Trying to craft a life of mine
With these 2 grubby hands of mine
We’re just building illusions (yes)
Being human is confusing
I lost my grip in the midst of a mountain climb
Doubting my spirit all day we’re just counting time
We’re living an illusion
Being human is confusing
I feel the pressure building up in my brain again
Money makes me insane jump from planes to kill my Bane
Don’t shoot I’m para own worst enemy see the fruit it’s sour
I eat the truth devour
Woo I’m on this you can’t play ‘cause you off the topic
I make my way bruv you couldn’t stop it
Rah see the world is nothing more than mad
I try to make it like the money put it in a bag
Aah I get confused in my latest mood
It’s like I’m staring at them boobs and she’s taking nudes
Staring at my situation getting impatient
Lost nation broken from information
People dwell on the world nothing more than hell
Reflections of yourself drowning in that wishing well
I wish you well in a world where your hearts breaking
Dark taking my soul bruv it’s hard making
I lost my my shit in the pit holding sands of time
Trying to craft a life of mine
With these 2 grubby hands of mine
We’re just building illusions
Being human is confusing
I lost my grip in the midst of a mountain climb
Doubting my spirit all day we’re just counting time
We’re living an illusion
Being human is confusing

Where Did The Time Go?
03:01
|
|||
LYRICS:
(I don’t know where)
You can walk an off piste path with an off key past
You can screenshot the present but that thought won’t last
Seconds turn to minutes and minutes turn to hours
Questioning reality and if it’s really ours
Where did the time go?
Where did the time go? (Gosh)
Where did the time go?
Where did the time go?
Sniffed up on a school night like everything is alright
We snapped the steering lock and sped off on your bike
It was 2003 in a stolen Metro with _______
With enough alcohol in us to intoxicate a family
His uncle said “you’ve got one life to live be sure you don’t waste it
This lifestyles not for you but I guess life is what you make it”
It’s funny how this little chats can have such an impact
I’ve mingled with all classes posh twats and grim cats
Been in flats with crack smoke they’re kids are in the next room
Been in mansions with daddies girls sniffing off a ket spoon
And what I’ve learned from this is all class is irrelevant
Guys in posh suits act as fraudsters committing embezzlement
Guys dressed in tracksuits rummaging through your possessions
All slaves to a currency of bank crashes and recessions
The rise of the Empire, the return of the Jedi
Revelations in the middle east and people praying to a dead guy
You can walk an off piste path with an off key past
You can screenshot the present but that thought won’t last
Seconds turn to minutes and minutes turn to hours
Questioning reality and if it’s really ours
Where did the time go?
Where did the time go? (Gosh)
Where did the time go? (Look)
Where did the time go?
I wasted time now time doth waste me
Said William Shakespeare regurgitated by me
I keep calling Jesus but the voicemails are mounting
James the just or Paul like what am I amounting to
Socially distanced and anxious of making an outing
The devils outside and that cunt keeps shouting
If you get rich too quick then quickly you will lose it
He told me “I once held socialist views”
Then questioned “Do you know what no focus will do?
You’ll gaze at the distance and soak up no views”
Judge me on my talent, make your malevolence apparent
Shallow Hal’s hell we fell for an egotistical imbalance of
A.I. Frankensteins, Designer babies, cured cancers
Big pharma, big tech, big egos, big chancers
All work by human hands eventually turns to dust
As we watch it pour in an hour glass until our times up
You can walk an off piste path with an off key past
You can screenshot the present but that thought won’t last
Seconds turn to minutes and minutes turn to hours
Questioning reality and if it’s really ours
Where did the time go?
Where did the time go? (Gosh)
Where did the time go? (I don’t know where)
Where did the time go?

LYRICS:
It’s crazy how formulaic it is
How obvious it’s become and I don’t know
I still I don’t understand why people
Who are trapped in that can’t see it at this point
They know that there’s probably like a good five issues
Five main top issues I would say for each group
And they just keep recycling one after the other
Meritocracy
Habituated ass holes
Class goals
You can catch me in a cave with some pastels
Art on a damp wall
Rags and a candle
Cherishing the moment
Stamped on a mantel
Exploring the past for answers that was written by the ruling class
A gruelling task for chancers romancing with the loosest facts
Are you a left-wing authoritarian (No)
Or a left-wing libertarian (Yes)
On the contrary said the contrarian I am whatever you are not (Fuck off)
Let’s disagree for disagreement sakes
Stop leaning all your freedom stakes
On the steps of these Demons gates
‘Cause those fuckers will nick them
You can pick them out the picket line the potential future tyrants
Those sly cunts will never sneak past you though
Or at least you thought so
Until you caught no tyrants in your net
Protect ya neck
Triple threat with three sixes
In these ditches
We carried our fellow freedom fighters to the remaining good witches
For stitches and herbal medicine
Because we were no longer welcome in a state run residence
Universal healthcare that’s un-universal for the non-compliant
Lady Liberty and Tony the tyrant head-to-head until one of them is dead
And later replaced by someone just as great
Depending on what side of the plate you eat your steak from
We lead down on the concrete trying to rest our heads
And dreamt of a re-connection with nature
Until the pavement said that she was dead when we woke up
Is it still 1984?
This year is never ending
Never ending story
We miss the stories from before the nothingness ruled our unimaginative brains
And left plain Janes everywhere now everywhere’s the same
One big monoculture led by a hollow vulture
Sorrow sulkers are not tolerated here
Pass me a beer
It’s almost like a wheel on a crank or like a Price Is Right game
They just keep spinning the wheel and go to the next one
And then they go to the other side and make them really freaked out and upset about something
And then the other person, the other side goes hey you guys are jerks for getting upset about that
Then they turn the wheel another crank and it’s all flipped the dynamic is flipped
Then the other side says I can’t believe you’re upset about that you know
Open up a can pour it down my gut
Walking in the rain I don’t give a fuck
I’m above it now I’ve been underground
Ride a thundercloud to another town
I’m in search of something new
Every version is unoriginal
Everybody is someone else
Every person is up for sale
Where I work on building sites
Tory working class this is life
Hate the left get it right
They took our jobs you wanna fight?
I make music creative types
See most of us hate the right
It’s in our nature I understand
But they are us dealt a different hand
I try very hard not to read too deep
Into surfaces I can see beneath
You are not caricatures
They’re drawing lines to divide us all
This is not a call to arms
It’s a production we almost dance
Things are bad can’t you tell
All hope is lost welcome to hell
I sip my can and look around
We almost fend for ourselves
It’s ascertained and I swallow that
I followed you now follow back
‘Cause what we have within our guts
Is something sacred something just
We’ve gone beyond a place of trust
But from now on don’t be a cunt

LYRICS:
The world keeps spinning out my window
The world keeps spinning out my window
Look
One, two
The world keeps spinning out my window
The world keeps spinning out my window
Your morality is based on reward
I brought words to a sword fight and carved a rapport
Wisdom whispered through brothels an Empire has been toppled
The roads were decaying but we still drove full of throttle
Fucking potholes
We cast blame on that pothole
Shall we blame that last pothole or that life living motto
Throw caution to the wind was rescinded within
Once we murdered our chances to make amends with our kin (Sorry)
Stress made us thin but we must bear and grin
With the world on our shoulders with boulders of sin
And oceans of tears with depths that are feared
By the darkest of creatures who eagerly peer
Into the distance with nothing but foresight and angst
Do you consume without thanks?
Asked the fat cat with a twat on his lap
In that same little brothel that wisdom once passed through
The world keeps spinning out my window
The world keeps spinning out my window
Yes Gimson
The world keeps spinning out my window
The world keeps spinning out my window
The world keeps spinning out my window
Yeah the world keeps spinning in the world we live in
Dimming darkened with the more that we sinning
The more that we printing the more that we binging
Drinking Netflix yes the more that we sinking
Like the Titanic or just like addicts
Obsessed with injecting ourselves into the screens
Until the minds static
Fuzzy like them televisions that tell your vision
Nonsense to the subconscious stop the selves splitting
Death to your own thoughts a brain now that never works
You limp dick can’t pleasure her
‘Cause you’re glued in the Metaverse (Mad)
Dumbest shit I’ve ever heard
Virtual insanity it ain’t reality
You can’t touch a soul or plant a tree
So how can it be?
The next step in evolution is stupid
Learning nothing from the movies
Waiting for a move like Umbrella Corp or Skynet
Judgement Day next odds are three to one on Sky Bet
The world keeps spinning out my window
The world keeps spinning out my window
The world keeps spinning out my window
The world keeps spinning out my window
The world keeps spinning out my window
In the midst of a crisis the wise man advises
To step the fuck back and sip the wine of Dionysus
Masterfully crafting a world full of sunshine and rain
Both comfort and pain
She held the hand of a dead man no bed stand just red sand
Undeniably susceptible to grief and regret
Fears scream loudly each day in our ears
The soft whispers aren’t clear we cannot quite hear
Whispers of prosperity, bravery and impact
Bubble wrapped princes keep their innocence intact
But it exasperates the pain when melted snowflakes find the drain
From the clouds to the underworld where the toxins remain
Like a grain in the sands of time each holds importance
In accordance with the witnesses and the mediums they recorded on
Scriptures and lineage cogs and the guinea pigs
What really gets whispered is that watered down realest shit
The world keeps spinning out my window
The world keeps spinning out my window
The world keeps spinning out my window
The world keeps spinning out my window
The world keeps spinning out my window

Overlord

LYRICS:
Overlord
Of course
Of course
Of course we’re enlightened
We are light beings
Just pull down the mask son
Never
Easier said than done when desires mask needs
And the truth is unsung Overlord
We met with Edward Bernays in a maze of mass consumption
To tame the beasts that we are without the need of a truncheon
Crowded nations, controlled by public relations
Propaganda in peace time, podcasts and functions
Premeditated assumptions discussions at lunch time
As I conform to your normality whilst sipping on plush wine
In Trafalgar Square amongst statues of mass murderers
Truth dodging hurdlers the anxious lives of worriers
Awarding Nobel peace prizes for committing genocides
There is a human somewhere behind that ideology
There is a human somewhere behind that chest beating
Life’s fleeting moments you’ll be a long time sleeping
See time is a great teacher but kills all its students
And time will only tell if you picked the right movement
It read life’s so cheap on the invoice from the lawyer
A toxic cocktail of pride and paranoia
They feed on unfit minds and fill our prisons with childhood trauma
Institutionalism both comforting and awkward
We’re all cursed to share the damaged vision of god
Poor sods never satisfied with anything we've got
Primitive forces embedded in our structures
Strive for mindfulness and other self help buzz words
Anti-fragile they curse you but words won’t hurt you
When you’re fucked up and drunk on poetry and virtue
But yo they got to be accepted
The what
The life is hectic
The life is hectic
But yo they got to be accepted
The what
The life is hectic
The life is hectic
We murdered the wise old oak tree for aesthetic purposes
For the sake of your mansion the villagers were burdened with
No acorns this winter
Rationing the maggots to share them out at dinner
Too famished to riot on a below average diet
Miseducated kids you cannot learn if you can’t buy it
Pareto distribution cake manifest a chance to slice it
And gorge on that gluttony and escape a life of drudgery
Shovelling shit in a puddle of piss
What kind of cuddle of this?
It’s you a headlock you prick
My 6 million year old grandmother was yours too
Now you’re a chimp at the zoo and I’m a human without a clue
Compartmentalised mental guys
The orders that are used to rule our minds
That were made up in our minds in the first place
What the fuck mate
We mastered predators and pandemics
And though we’re far from angelic
There was good in us all but it was the darkness we relished
Alienated neighbours, self centred creatures
Fitting in by touching up your less than perfect features
You’re zombified, robotic is more appropriate
But never will you belong in their Aquarian utopia
You’re an opiate disguising as an upper
An undercover, subharmonic dwelling motherfucker
Floating in a square wave, the Mandela effect
Eve and a forbidden pear shaped fruit
That got deleted later when she wasn’t feeling cute
Shooting down questions fearfully projecting
The overlords suggestions not bounded by dimensions
But yo they got to be accepted
The what
The life is hectic
The life is hectic
But yo they got to be accepted
The what
The life is hectic
The life is hectic
The life is hectic
The life is hectic
The life is hectic
The life is hectic

LYRICS:
Sitting in envisioning lungs filled up with nicotine it’s sickening
Inner voices speaking I can’t avoid them so I’m listening
No headspace
A dying planet on my shoulder so I’m carrying a dead weight
Expressing my voice digitally, on wax or on cassette tapes
Acoustically raw feel my passion it’s my best take
And that’s all I am offering
In this fleeting experience until silence is all I’m fostering
As they lay me down to rest and the worms eat my flesh
I wonder, how will they measure my success?
In silence they reflect on my life here
Death bed regrets and wrongs that I never made right here
It was an uncomfortable silence in those years we never spoke
It was simply the wrong note to end it on
Sorry
Without meaning we die slowly
Dying old and lonely singing
Hello darkness my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Time to break the silence
Let us break the silence
It's that House Of Pain scream damn right I daydream
But reality is tears rubbed in like face cream
Middle fingers in the sky screaming fuck you nice try
No time for a world that pies a nice guy
The removal of nuance
Don’t give a fuck for your wants or your dreams or your passions
Rationing our spirits for those who want to hear it
Whilst skeptical of those that are trying to get near it
But in the face of tyranny our silence was a lie
We must not remain silent even when we die
Drunk words, sober thoughts all portrayed in the arts
Dark parts and silent moments until death do us part
There is no ease in this nostalgia
Picking up the pieces from a distance I wish that I could hold ya
Find comfort in the dark, find comfort in the silence
Stand up tall and don’t be frightened
Be enlightened
Hello darkness my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Time to break the silence
Let us break the silence
