Naming Colors 03:42
lyrics

Lecture conjecture Cover me in texture My time’s gone flat but I’ll shape up next year My lung’s are full of flat notes and carcinogens Mouth full of french fries and what could-have-beens Saw a leaf on the ground, I thought it was a bullet Cuz that redneck proved we shot right through The ozone don’t work no Pro bono Culture fades with the radio waves Those sermons of static can’t be saved So I seek for what’s next Tune in, perplexed I confess, nothing makes sense I'm fighting currents Diving into deterrents Rest insured Bereft of assurance Lets meet up in the artifice Fuck this Cuz I’m dying to escape all these amendments Give me a break Loose tooth snapping off my last nerve Release Take hold of the leash Erase the art Claim a cage A rotten start to this anonymous age Where I’m covered in glue I'm naming colors and I wonder which one matters to you Is it the black or the green hues The reds, the whites, or the 12 bar blues? It’s all lost somewhere over the rainbow Can I show you how good I can pay the bills? I got a cave loan, a dumb phone, Nalaxone And it’s all in my will Its headed straight to the land fill Gonna make the algorithms work for me You’ll see It’ll pop up in your feed You’re all more into brands than bands I’m just worth my weight in Adavan Fell for fake news while standing for reason Loosing touch and I found that I’m feeling I’ve worked so hard at building this callous Im numb to the pain and the rain and the malice Just another screw that’s bound and needs turned Now I may not have said it, it’s all been inferred That I lost the point

No Views 03:38
lyrics

Litmus test on my best guess Give warning I’m nothing at all Dots per inch tall Render failed on a chemical trail this morning And it’s lost to a cloud What’s up went down Nursing baby Let them all see It outlast me Get to bed There’s a better time It’s just ahead It’s all content Written in space A missing link to the page of the dawning Let’s skip “How are you” I know what you’ve been up to Come on, stay new No views You Shine through Never Now News Forever you

Detail Report 03:47
lyrics
buy track
Measured space In between disgrace Everybody needs to get the hell out of my face Steady fuel Quality Assurance tools Everybody needs Everyone’s got a mouth full Everybody needs Cross state lines Wonder where my boundaries lie Everybody leaves Not everyone wonders why Data’s dense How could it make sense Everybody needs Everybody's got two cents Everybody needs Fully integrated Service absolute Micro-inertia Endless exponent Setting sail on untold tales The past dies and the future wails “I’m gone” You’re right here while I’m not there I’m courageous enough to fear I’m gone The science of common sense Like sniffing out impermanence We’re gone Masked in the breeze of a stray curveball That twitches the spark parked in a stall It’s all slanted How enchanted Shopping for cranes that can hoist this frown Help me get up, help me to get down All nerve and less word

While It Happens 04:23
lyrics
buy track
False walls and trap doors I’ve been setting my sights for have just become an eyesore It’s a bore But I don’t mind Dodging potholes in a fox hole While crooks and sleepers look for assholes they can control Advance war King’s lore New place Make space Moon faced chums jawing their own taste of fun Mind if I try Cuz I don’t mind Wrangling signals like I’m Elmer Fudd Filled up on Windex and coyote’s blood But I don’t mind It’s fine Cuz I’m Elusively confined In space and time Simultaneous spontaneous A calculated risk And I can’t take much more of this Dragon’s hiss and the butterfly’s kiss coming at me To kill my vanity Stiff hands Balled up shoulders Trying to get a do-over While it happens I’m guessing that we’ll miss it Moments turn into memories Seconds linger eternally While it happens I’m guessing that i’ll miss it

Swinging On The Floor 03:07
lyrics
buy track
You can take it I don’t need it It’s all for giving Bless my heart and kiss my soul to bed Send me off like you would the dead Like a kicked in head Sized up and tailored Beautiful failure Loaded pistols, bells and whistles shine Waiting to get a grip Where’s the target When you’re not 6 anymore Rolling in dead leaves You’re busy fixing a door Pushing at the breeze Can you shout “Heads up” when the bottoms out I’ll come down from swinging on the floor Best is all and all’s a guess and all that Do you feel like you could get behind that? Cuz the rest that I got is gone You’re not 6 anymore Rolling in dead leaves You’re busy fixing a door Pushing at the breeze Can you shout “Heads up” when the bottom’s out I miss “now” while swinging on the floor

Curtains! 05:31
lyrics
buy track
I’m asleep in these curtains In the weight that brings down the house Cuz I can burn bright If you got a light The haze of smoke’s been fading by degrees And I’m tracing constellations on these scars and memories If i could just spell it In red velvet And you felt it “Perhaps” and “What-if” could get lost Drift off like concrete dust In a gust of gusto and bravado Do you know I know you don’t think so Shake and tremble Muses remove me Til I’m disassembled And moving’s amusing Like a radio commercial Sings the death of jingle Lazy river Take my shivers Beat me tender You know better I’m not a contender I’m just a boy At the mercy of dreams and infinite doorways Illusions of meaning just keep pulling me This way Or that way But anyway I’ll show you the end Chagrin to the wind Joy the void That’s enough Love lost Hate escaped And that’s it And that’s it

Joey Sprinkles Vs. Nick Nocturne: The Battle of Time 08:51
lyrics

Head to hand Oh process Working at progress I’ve gone coping, numb, and scowling Mechanics Curbing my frantics Posted up on the 110 Oh yeah, how’ve you been I’ve been the definite The ground’s right here Watch me break it It’s just head to hand Oh useless These feelings are fuseless Show me your power I’ll put in the hours While taking it to chance Until forever Now and never I think that it’s a plan Just gotta think of a way to get it Gotta think of a way to do it Yeah think of a way Head to hand Holing up Don’t touch my stuff Swallowed up Waiting for watershed Crawl inside Heavy skies Counting time until the moment Let me show you my numbers I think that it’s a plan I gotta think of a way to see it (Doll me up sincere) I gotta think of a way to mean it (Doll me up no fear) Yeah think of a way to live it (Doll me up, my Dear) (Doll me up) Crawling out Of thunderclouds Who cares right now? This is the moment Lifting up I’ll tell you what If this is up then don’t remind me If this is up Don’t remind me Don’t remind me Get behind me Don’t remind me That’s not fair Can I not care What’s it matter Cuz it’s always now Never not around Take the time to leave some space It’s been Shining This whole time you’ve been out

Devotedly 05:15
lyrics

Here it comes Watch it closely It’s begun It moves slowly Devotedly ‘Round the sun Around memory Circles back Indefinitely Devotedly Lock the door Hide beloved Life to covet Don’t think of it Bellowed plea Life amended Have mercy Fear befriended Still it comes Haunting vaguely Devotedly A gospel of lies Profanity prophets Shiny and caustic Lost in the litany Infinitely A scripture to kill Contracts of carnage all written in garbage Safe in instants Lost in the distance So look in my eyes Tell me it’s OK Tell me we’re OK Kiss me dearly The end is nearly
