I am an Animal

i am an animal
a beast of the night
a two handed creature with hearing and sight
a physical being
not special, not smart
a warm-blooded monster with a brain and a heart
i am just matter
no blood, sweat and tears
formed by the planet over billions of years
i am my body
my body is me
i am not conscious, my mind is not free
but i dream of magic
and i look at the stars and i see a light
i'm seeing static
time building me upwards to such great heights

Lies (feat. Gabbo)
02:35

synthetic potions leak into the oceans
cause no commotion till you try to swim
man in the steeple lying to the people
distorted evil from a glorified chimp
the rich get richer and the gap gets bigger
not a pretty picture if you're not living with
when money's moving it is all consuming
the man is used to spitting lies through his teeth
you can't escape all of these lies
through tunnel vision, endless repetition
a fact of fiction fed to those who don't see
huge corporations commit tax evasion
give out donations buying all they could need
the coast is flooding and the time is coming
there will be nothing that's escaping the heat
the water's rising and it's not surprising
people are lining up to march in the streets
you can't escape all of these lies

Intentions (feat. Gabbo)

gone, hardly gone
why do i seek affection
from my friends' best intentions for myself
done, hardly done
moving past our afflictions
this would last I was certain I was found
dawn scarlet dawn
why do i seek attention
and then push all directions to the ground
lost in the fog
dreary days, green confections
in the muddy reflections, i will drown

The Fold
02:56

i'm running out of time
clocks ticking in my mind
sounds just out of sight
don't know what i'll find
the fates will decide
the rest of my life
saw her the other day
got nothing more to say
i can't anyway
no lesson to take
one foot in the grave
i'm walking the plank
the fold is in my eye
got nowhere left to hide
i wish i knew why
i'm falling and blind
you're spinning a lie
i don't want to fight
the rest of my life

Fireworks

she said nothing when he came home
he said "go the house is a mess"
you could feel the air was boiling
you could tell she was depressed
he sat down and turned the news on
"nothing but the same old shit"
i tried to curl up beside him
he said "find somewhere else to sit"
hiding in your room distracting ourselves
while fireworks go off downstairs
you would try to get them separated
you would scream that "WE DON'T CARE!"
she was angry he was cold to us
he was tired after work
she thought she was fighting for us
he thought she was being a jerk
we would sit and play computer games
we would try to block the sound
the house was shaking we could feel it
giants stomping on the ground
hiding in your room distracting ourselves
while fireworks go off downstairs
you would try to get them separated
you would scream that "WE DON'T CARE!"

Song for a Ghost
02:37

a song for a ghost
you made your use of me
to get your thrills
and tried to bury me
with what you won't admit
do the lies you tell yourself
absolve your guilt?
or help you sleep at night
with what you did?
a song for a ghost
how far will you go?
your world's engulfing you
submerged in it
made me feel so naive
for trusting it
and you sunk your claws in me
with teeth in my skin
more of my sympathy
you'll never win
a song for a ghost

Untitled (feat. Gabbo)

do you think that this will help?
pain that needed to be felt
i want to be by myself
you said "come hang with your friends"
balanced on a plank that bends
i'm so scared of how this ends

ask questions when you wonder
in the quick silence as we go under a bridge
and the rain stops for just a second
it can feel like a lifetime if i let it
i'm having the time of my life
each time that i look into your eyes
you look back at me we really see each other
the scenery closed off by a tunnel
and i'm pretending not to care
that everything will go away
but it's on my mind today
you acquire a new item
every time you feel like crying
i used to keep it quiet
but now i don't even mind it
and i don't feel like lying
baby i got hair now that's never even heard of you
