It’s over It’s over and I wonder When summertime did simmer Down to autumn leaves I’m older The air is creeping colder It deprecates the glimmer Made happy obsolete You try to keep your mind, but Everything will oxidize in time Turned white And full of spite There’s comfort in the rust There’s comfort I’m happy obsolete A cartridge Decaying in the desert A landfill full of pleasure Who wants to play E.T.? Distractions Crafted in their hubris To try and get us through this Die with the king of kings You try to keep your mind, but Everything will oxidize in time Bled dry And going blind There’s comfort in the dirt There’s comfort I’m happy obsolete Gamecube Xbox Playstation 2

Crucible 02:58
We'll engineer it out of you And take those little gears That turn And burn them in the furnance Yes the crucible is hungry To melt another meal To steal Another sense of wonder and autonomy Loose lips will sink you curious cats And you'll be furious that You didn't listen to us Maudlin mouths will just keep spouting it out That you'd be empty throughout If you get swallowed by the crucible's mouth We'll extricate the ugly parts And tie them in a bow And no, You don't know what you're doing You're a special kind of reticent The kind we've gotta break And crush To fit you through the filter and the homily Spying eyes will see despair and despise So keep your gaze compromised Set your sights on something simple Curious ears will summon all of your fears So sanitize what you hear Loose Lips Sink Ships We'll engineer it out of you And take those little gears That turn And burn them in the furnace

So let's suppose that I Have got a few more years to live I wanna spend them high Imagine a disease to give A voice so loud it speaks When I move my knees A space so large it heaves The breath out of me Do I feel regret? I suppose I don't smoke cigarettes And even as I sleep This fixation can wake me fast It rings in my ears The sound of sand pouring from the hourglass I should've been there I should've dance I spent the whole night sitting on my hands 'Cause I'm convinced that it's really bad Give me an answer It's probably cancer You and me We agree It's just a hum that I'll have to learn to ignore Yes, I can see I agree These are just aches that I'll have to learn to ignore This vessel is bound to crack So please Forgive me You and me We agree It's just a hum that I'll have to learn to ignore Yes, I can see I agree These are just aches that I'll have to learn to ignore

Jungle Juice 03:31
Lapping up the past like jungle juice slipping through my fingers Don't tell me what you think you saw See what I see, know that you're wrong Don't tell me that you think you're right Doubt's contagious and I've got the bug I tried to sleep it off but woke up drunk My head is pounding and my eyes are glazed I'm givin my days Lapping up the past like jungle juice slipping through my fingers Frozen for the future Lapping up the past like jungle juice slipping through my fingers Frozen for the future And the flavor of it lingers The sun is shinin on my unmade bed A ruffled pillow for a knucklehead Alarm is blaring but I just hit snooze And there's no color but the back-then blues My tongue is tied up to the future tense And though I've been where I've been where I've been I'm popping addy then some sleeping pills And I'm not staying young I'm staying still Lappin up the past like jungle juice slippin through my fingers x x Ferment the past in the bath But porcelain will crack 'Cause memories have mass I'm giving my days to the daze x x

Nothing Left 03:48
What if I just chose to be alone? Oh god, Could you imagine what I'd do when I got home? I'd jump inside the static of a scrolling clicking habit And I'd never come out What if I just left you two alone Oh god, You'd probably run away, Like dinosaurs you'd roam And chewing on the leaves that I left for you But you keep on forgetting That I'm not just pretending We've got nothing Nothing left to do What if I just called you on the phone And told you that I knew before we met that I'd be yours I'd hope that this indifference Would warm upon the light of day I hope so But you keep on forgetting That I'm not just pretending We've got nothing Nothing left to do There's nothing left There's nothing left There's nothing left to do

All the oxygen is gone In the lonely metal box While the comets and the rocks Wander under stellar dawn All the lights are blinking bright In the lonely metal box While the comets and the rocks Linger over our flight There's no time to grab my things When there's a fissure underneath I wonder if you'll leave with me But your eyes just scan the dock There's a fissure underneath I wonder if you'll leave with me But your eyes just scan the dock I will lose you after dark Look me over, Dress me down Your satellites just Terraformed and tired of this Apogee and perigee Touch my shoulder And push me over the rails Into the airlock, and I can't get out Into the airlock, and I can't get out And I pound and pound and pound But it won't make a sound No it won't make a sound No it will not resound
