Baking in the Sun

The mind is saying I cannot stay in I need to get some air
You practice laying on colored fabrics binded to a chair
I am playing, resuscitating you know I do my share
Now I am waiting for serial baiting that is never fair
Sun poisoning
No reasoning
Sweaty people
Baking in the sun
My eyes are racing to see the tracing that chair has done to you
Perfect spacing under the lacing it looks like a tattoo
Thoughts are pacing and I am facing one and now there’s two
Diligent chasing my mind is erasing visions into blues
Sun poisoning
No reasoning
Sweaty people
Baking in the sun

Hip Check
03:00
|

|
Smelled a salt just a minute ago
I’ve sped up so the game moves slow
That’s a hip check
Left my car in the parking garage
Paid my ticket to beat the fee barrage
That’s a hip check
Asked around for an aspirin
So I wiped my nose with the table napkin
That’s a hip check
Come home from the bar on your own
Get a text that she’s all alone
That’s a hip check
Got to work about an hour ago
There’s no movement so this day’ll move slow
That’s a hip check
Grabbed the salt for my steak filet
The lids on loose so I threw it all away
That’s a hip check
Send a text where you doubt yourself
Been left on read since a quarter past twelve
That’s a hip check
Bought her food and you take her out
Then she says she can do without
That’s a hip check

Whatever Floats

Monochrome atoms buzz around in your abode
It’s apparent that you forgot me on hold
Flickering light shines in your hobbit hole
The only source of light that cannot be shut or stole
Whatever floats your boat, yeah
Whatever floats
Monochrome atoms buzz around in your abode
It’s apparent that you forgot me on hold
Flickering light shines in your hobbit hole
The only source of light that cannot be shut or stole
Whatever floats your boat, yeah
Whatever floats

Lost in My Hair
02:02
|

Open mind to peek and pry
It won’t make sense to even try
No need to leave I might just die
So now I’m lost in my hair
You take the air out from my wings
You only take expensive things
Ears are the bell that toll and ring
And now I’m lost in my hair
Open mind to peek and pry
It won’t make sense to even try
No need to leave I might just die
So now I’m lost in my hair
Move around from here to there
You’ll only rot sat in your chair
Keep me where the air is fair
So I can be lost in my hair

The Jockey

You’re the life of the party
Always hanging around
Keep on feeding nonsense to anyone who sticks around
We may not be what you want
We may not be what you need
But if you start causing problems we’re the fuckers that you’ll heed
The jockey
He’s the jockey
You’re the life of the party
Everyone gathers around
Keep on spouting bullshit and a beating is abound
I think there has been a mistake
It’s 6am and I’m still awake
We may not be what you want
We may not be what you need
But if you start causing problems we’re the fuckers that you’ll heed
We’re the fuckers that you’ll heed
We’re the fuckers that you’ll heed
The jockey
He’s the jockey
The jockey
He’s the jockey
He's the jockey
The jockey
He's the jockey

Webcam
02:06

Put tape on your webcam
It’s the least you can do
Until the new algorithm
Figures out the blur
Tap into your headphones
There’s a mic there too
No escape from the NSA
But we proceed
Technologic being
Surveying satellites
Government is taping
Controlling appetites
Commercializing feeling
Emotion parasites
It’s harder to be dealing
With the turmoil inside

Pigs in a Blanket
02:29

Leaking motor oil
Won't get it no soil
We’ll do it on concrete
With buildings to make it discreet
Brazen power coil
Will make the locals boil
I don't care what they think
I don't care if they burn or sink

Do you feel the world getting colder
Walk with purpose to keep on longer
Banging my head all day the same way
Tainted landscapes don't seem to stay
Take the skeletons out the closet
You think you're not a target?
Locked yourself in your own cell
Live it up and feel swell
Simulation too real to stop
Now your shacked up at the top
Been high been low
Oh but now where do you go
Inhale the fumes of a ghastly green
Cough never comes out clean
What are you scared of
Finding meaning or unwelcomed greetings
Locked into algos
It's all under your nose
Authenticity
Stolen for money
You can try to make a difference (in your video conference)
Screens are massive (keeping your eyes captive)
You might break the main frame but watch when they eat your brain
No need to get frantic being human is still romantic

Fresh Out the Shower
02:32

|
Fresh out the shower
Still feel the flower
And another day’s opportunity
Open a beer
To eliminate my fear
Of wasted immunity
I’m no civil servant
Let’s bomb the government
If I can’t grow I will go insane
Observe the current game
To surf the merchant frame
If I don’t know I will not remain
Fresh out the shower
Day to devour
I will take on all in front of me
Burn thru the grass’
Break thru the glass
I love unrest and uncertainty
I’m no civil servant
Let’s bomb the government
If I can’t grow I will go insane
Observe the current game
To surf the merchant frame
If I don’t know I will not remain
I’m no civil servant
Let’s bomb the government
If I can’t grow I will go insane
Observe the current game
To surf the merchant frame
If I don’t know I will not remain

Inquisitive Sunset

Sometimes you've gotta see through it
The shadows are clawing on your back
Stop signs are abundant and they're flashing
For you to go
There's nothing that's stopping you from knowing
I've gotta go
