Microcosm Shit
02:12
|
|||
Each morning I wake up
And I make myself some coffee
Drink down the blackness to shake off my bad dreams
I won’t let the mood set in, won't let it steep
I'm lucky to feel anything
In the age of the screens
Turn on the tele for my dose of brain candy
Flip on the news for my does of brain brandy
The news today doesn't seem all that new anyway
In the blink of an eye, we'll all die - least that's what they always say
CHORUS
So lace up your shoes
And turn your brain on
Show the world your love
Before what we got is all gone
I may be crying
But laughing sounds all the same
The world may be dying
But I’m sure we’ll all be okay
And I hope that my spirit doesn't drown in the drama
Like that microcosm shit, like you forgot a fucking comma
I've found the only way to survive this raging fire
Is to make your whole life one big fucking satire
I know it's a privilege to breathe this clean air
But if that's a fucking privilege then our rights don't means shit in deciding what's even fair
CHORUS
So bridge gaps with your enemies
And dance without fame
Give meaning to your life
Before we all go insane
I may be crying
But laughing sounds all the same
The world may be dying
But I’m sure, yes I’m sure that we'll all be okay
Aaaayyyyy aaaayyyyy ayyyyyyy

Body Snatchers
02:32
|

now we can say it
we've been through hell and back
nearly lost my shit along the way
but at least my soul's intact
tales of the body snatchers
and demons they are true
but I never expected to have to keep
a special eye out for you
I once knew your soul
but you're a stranger to me now
a summer flower unfolds
and drifts away in the crowd
these days winds blow
out of control
and all the chemicals
and capitalist roles make us weak
I tried my best
but it was damn sure you weren't trying for me
oh--
and since I left
old man years and years leaves movies at my feet
each one makes me miss you more
as it plays back our memories
so I've stopped watching
and learned how to navigate without you
the hell-gates are flooding open
but I've chosen another route
well I once knew your soul
but you're a stranger to me now
a summer flower unfolds
and dissipates in the ground
these days winds blow out of control
and all the chemicals and
capitalist roles make us weak
I tried my best
but I'm just glad I got over your peak
these days winds blow out of control
and all the chemicals
and capitalist roles
make us weak
I tried my best
but it was damn sure you weren't trying for me
oh--

Streams of Dreams
02:38
|

Lately I feel like it's hard to be human
You look at me as though I was made for your consuming
I don't come as an order and I don't sit on a plate
And yet the restaurants are open and the hungry mouths salivate
I'm not here to satiate you, I'm not here to be alone
I want something better but you only throw me bones
I ain't your dog and you ain't my kind
Is the human in me really that hard to find?
Chorus
I've been thinking about isolating myself
I've been thinking about isolating myself
I've been dreaming of valleys, warms rocks, and streams
I've been dreaming to get out of your dreams
Do you feel the rush of blood coursing through your veins?
Do you feel your heart beat so loud it cannot be contained?
You've got your titles, your guts, and your desires
Our lives, they burn away, are you frightened by the fire?
You make assumptions that all my time is yours.
You can keep on pushing baby, but you'll never break down my doors.
And once the clock has ticked to your last final tock
You'll realize you did all this running baby, but you never left your own block
Chorus
I've been thinking about isolating myself
I've been thinking about isolating myself
I've been dreaming of valleys, warms rocks, and streams
I've been dreaming to get out of your dreams
