no news bears repeating past still moving, baby, I can't feel it can't leave and I can't stay can't wait for another day hate death, worship weakness taxman's coming, baby- what's your function? I'm only living for your total destruction- I'm so afraid... can't stop when I know I'm beaten fuck it all and let them pick up the pieces fall in line, man- listen to reason... I can't behave... no truth, only gravity's sinking I'm so cold, baby- I can't feel it... try to kill it, fight it, fuck it and drink it... won't go away... you can't escape the past you see the future going by you can't escape from the past it doesn't mean you shouldn't try... I can't ignore the darkness we've got a give and take relationship but when it hits me the hardest I'm like "what can I say, what can I do?" I want to tear the lights out to let you see the way the world goes around... you're stuck in a harness, asking "what can I say, what can I do?" I don't care about the consequence I do, I don't- it doesn't make a difference...

I wanna care what love is why does it feel so useless? if I was born to be a king I'm running out of excuses... like I'm walking in the dark and every day just bleeds into the last one I want to tear this place apart I'm holding myself from myself for a ransom is that so cold? but I don't need you, baby... I need self control... maybe I'm just too damn stupid? I'd let it go, but I don't know the taste of it I'd give my life to make it, babe- don't let me down... give me just one moment a brief pause in the laws of the universe it happened just like I wrote it wild eyed, stare into the void with a killer thirst... I want to burn this whole world to prove that life isn't worth anything at all I give it out, collect it, it's coming back around... I'm not free cuz I'm not cheap and girl, you can't have me until I figure it out... maybe I'm just too damn stupid... give it up, just accept that you're going to lose but are you worth my life, girl? prove it- are you down? is that so cold?

High Life 02:09
high rise, you live in the sky like you think it'll last no dice, not enjoying my life- I'm only waiting for the imminent crash you're not a kid anymore, there's no playing no more fucking around... oh yes, it's great to be poor you can't take it- but there's nothing else to be found hands tied, baby you know why but the profits are filtering down can't accept that you're living a lie so you try to tune it out you're not a kid anymore there's no playing no more fucking around oh yes it's great to be poor- you can't make it but there's nothing else to be found... and we'll be the kings of the town while you are living in the past... honor roll they want your soul and all it takes is a shake of the hand and baby, you're sold...

encoded in our language are blocks to understanding through repetition fear is taught this is an ancient magic it can be overturned by taking thoughts and words apart folding time strangle lines see word and image drop in knowing light the knowing mind begins then, to evolve words are representations and when we break them down the structures then begin to fall reality subjective; do you KNOW peace or war? what happens when the loop has stopped? the systems that control your world subvert and destroy psychic communication... redefine your world.

Don't Listen 03:28
I just wanna stop it is this what you promised? desperate, hold on to control discipline and punish it's too late to turn around there's no place to go desperate- ask me what I want I don't fucking know... but I don't want to wait around for something new and I don't want to settle out to be like you edicts of control: freedom to be owned free to choose from A or B predetermined goals when they say they're better than you you're so worried that it might be true they're all lining up, taking their sides telling you to compromise I turn on, I turn off attachment to all of these dreams if image is reality, then what I need is you to BE. don't expect representation bullshit world of com-modification reject bullshit assimilation and illegitimate rule.
