Crooked

Well there was a crooked man
Who walked a crooked mile
He made a crooked fortune
And wore a crooked smile
He did some crooked cocaine
And climbed a crooked slope
He found a crooked rafter
And hung a crooked rope
Designer suit, top hat
Aligator shoes
Well I don't care about that
Fine cigar, gold cuffs
Rolling down the street in your Jaguar
He lived in a house of lies
And was empty on the inside
He held a centurion card
Turning heads from near to far
There was a crooked man
Who walked a crooked mile
He made a crooked fortune
And wore a crooked smile
He did some crooked cocaine
And climbed a crooked slope
He found a crooked rafter
And hung a crooked rope
Trophy wife, big jugs
Brand new jet ski
Well I don't give a fuck
Kobe strips, Dom Pérignon
Everyone's invited to the party mansion
I know your faking it
And the essence dissolves
In the serous volumes
Numbing pleasant and smooth
Through the fractured stratums
Torn from the peasants by his demons
To the hills of Beverly
He heard them whispering
He heard them taunting him
He heard them shouting at him
And they were waiting for him
There was a crooked man
Who walked a crooked mile
He made a crooked fortune
And wore a crooked smile
He did some crooked cocaine
And climbed a crooked slope
Cos when he was a little boy
He gave up all his hope
He was a crooked man
He was a crooked man
He was a crooked man
He was a crooked man
He lived in a house of lies
And was empty on the inside
He held a centurion card
Turning heads from near to far

It's like acid in your mouth
You want it so bad and the yearning never stops
Drooling pungent crystals out
The flashing radio lights say it's time to rock!
You hide from your masters
Blindfolded synchronistic slave
Hard wired atomic bastard
Now behold what the astral-creator made
Electro-kraken wars
Insert disk, load, agree
Electro-kraken wars
Forget control, alt and delete
Perched on the edge of the abyss
Peering out through the eyeholes in your mask
Put on the one that always smiles
Put on the one that always lies
Radar beeps electro-kraken
We all know he ain't gonna spear himself
Your sub steers evades backwards
Wrecked up on the liquid mercury shelf
Electro-kraken wars
Stripped by the suction hole
Electro-kraken wars
Hydro creature will dissolve
Electro-kraken wars
Complex algorithm weeps
Electro-kraken wars
Chains mimic democracy
Prove to me you are not a bot
Type in the code
As we sit here on the perimeter
Of love and death
And the androids work all day
Their faces cold
In midst of a totalitarian age
They mask the AWOL souls
Stripped by the suction hole
Hydro creature was no more
The mask about to fall
Insert disk, load, agree
Got to reset delete
No matter what you see
The algorithm weeps
Mimics democracy
You gotta trick the past
Ignore impending doom
Or fear will manifest
The androids face will bleed

Tidal Waves
03:16
|

A circus clown was laughing
A ballerina was spinning
I woke in a sweat sill lying in my bed
“Returned” from a place where everyone was dead
The teeth were falling from my face
My body sank like it was lead
Could not escape the tidal waves
A black widow was creeping
A white woman was crying
Red viscosity was seeping from the walls
The fan on the ceiling was spinning in slow motion
The teeth were falling from my face
Poseidon dragged me to the ocean floor
Could not escape the tidal waves
Bleeding from the tridents spike
Paralysed by ocean spray
Swept up by the tidal waves
Bleeding from the tridents spike
Paralysed by ocean spray
Swept up by the tidal waves
Suffocating figure crushed my chest
I tried to scream but whispered "get the fuck off me"
Was I on the other side?
Or was it a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream
The teeth were falling from my face
My body sank like it was lead
Could not escape the tidal waves
Bleeding from the tridents spike
Paralysed by ocean spray
Swept up by the tidal waves
Bleeding from the tridents spike
Paralysed by ocean spray
Swept up by the tidal waves

Death Support

Now you’ve been warned
Secret societies
Seasoned PSYOP wizards
The prism bends the beam
Within the realm appears
Now you’ve been warned
Projection on the dome
Deep from the catacombs
Smart things will keep your soul
Safe for the packman moon
Surgery!
The scalpel splits the skin
Nano-bots!
Invade capillaries
C.P.U.!
A neuro-motherboard
Death support!
It’s time to pull the cord
Virtual reality
Seeds a virus in our head
Hooked up to death support
Subliminal mind thieves
Soul criminal software
Hooked up to death support
Teasing our neuro-stems
Scrambling our brain signals
Hooked up to death support
Now you’ve been warned
It’s been foretold
The ones that wake up worst
Are the ones that lead the cause

Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf
Tra la la la la la
Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf
Tra la la la la la
Gently placed in the open earth
Feathers stained with mud
Heart stopped beating
Wings were broken
Pretty little dove
Ingest your pseudo-happiness
Throw your soul into a screen
Douse your face in Maybelline
Drink your shake it has protein
Watch the monkeys on T.V.
While the wolf sharpens his teeth
Luring you with make-believe
Forget your name and throw your
Dreams away..
She worships him in hell
She worships him in hell
Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf
Tra la la la la la
Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf
Tra la la la la la
A precious soul she could not see
Pretty little dove
She flew away into the night
Drunk with wanderlust
Lose another pound or three
Pucker up those duck-face lips
Get some retail therapy
Study hard for your degree
Work so hard that you don’t live
Find a dude and have some kids
The wolfs always behind the scenes
Forging lies and pulling strings
She worships him in hell
She worships him in hell

The king Of Mu
04:45

And those were strange days
So much confusion
Conceptual, tangible, illusion?
Ran away from home didn’t pack a bag
Had a randevú with a femme fatale
Known to some as mammons mistress
Would ya know my luck she came and kissed me
Retroreflective renegade shape shifter
Rouge romantic turbo charged realm drifter
Cosmical faux serotonin generator
International semipro escape artist
I was the ruler of Lemuria
While my world crumbled around me
Got promoted to the King of Mu
While all my gadgets were breaking
With her charms she lured me even deeper
And whispered in my ear a terrible secret
“We came down from the hills when the floods dispersed
Then the cracking of the whips ever since could be heard”
Retroreflective renegade shape shifter
Rouge romantic turbo charged realm drifter
Cosmical faux serotonin generator
International semipro escape artist
I was the ruler of Lemuria
While my world crumbled around me
Got promoted to the King of Mu
While all my gadgets were breaking
I was the one that they put in charge
Of the human second version simulator
Sat on the future federation council
The chief diplomat between succubus’s and angels
And if my lenses broke
Could you help me to fix them?
And if i got tired of a concrete floor
Would you lend me a sofa?
Or even build me a time machine
To evade the tractor beams
I wanna go pat a dinosaur
To try, try debunk my thoughts
On a spinning ball through space as an accident
Doesn't seem right but I'm gonna find out
Til then I’ll wake on a concrete floor
With a headache the size of a whale...
I was the ruler of Lemuria
While my world crumbled around me
Got promoted to the King of Mu
While all my gadgets were breaking
I was the King of Mu
But all my gadgets were breaking..

Smart Things

To serve you is our mission
But theres just one condition
Now tick that little box
And give us all permission
To hear all that your saying
To find exact locations
To know if you like Tom Hanks
Or prefer Kevin Bacon
The gods yelled from the sky
Be fruitful and multiply
Dystopia begins
When we sew our eyelids to the smart things
Hysteria seeps in
When we trade our liberties for the smart things
The smart things are connecting
And always multiplying
They come into your house
And strip away your eyelids
And in your darkest hour
They know which pill your popping
Then put it on the side
The next time when your scrolling
And Orwell gave the warning
A race bent on ignoring
We're trading liberties
And falsifying all your needs
So now it's time to decide
What do you do with your eyes?
Close them to the lies
Or live Happily Ever Blind?
Go forth and multiply
Until the end of blind
Dystopia begins
When we sew our eyelids to the smart things
Hysteria seeps in
When we trade our liberties for the smart things
Insidious they sing
Lending our ears to the smart things
Carnivorous machines
Inceptive seed for the ending
Wicked backlight shines until the end of blind
Wicked backlight shines until the end of blind
Wicked, oh it's so wicked
What backlight shining bright
Dystopia begins
When we sew our eyelids to the smart things
Hysteria seeps in
When we trade our liberties for the smart things
Insidious they sing
Lending our ears to the smart things
Carnivorous machines
Inceptive seed for the ending

Hungry Ghosts
03:16

What did I dream?
I do not know
Yet strange my mind was tickled so
Silver streaks in the sky
Were consuming the blue
So we sift our passion through
And a dog ate a dog
Leaving ideals behind
Saved for the ones with sabbatical lives
Banished to the realm of the anthropoids
In deaths derelict department store
Human version 2.0
The mortal simulation spawns a ravenous breed
We're micro-parasites and we're squirming in a petri dish
Flying around with their heads cut off
Ain't none more damned than the hungry ghosts
Ghosts
Hungry Ghosts
Ghosts
Hungry Ghosts
What did I dream?
I do not know
Yet strange my mind was tickled so
Its over our head
We see a rebel bound
By the ones that throw the paper around
Cannot help but laugh
Cannot help but cry
Fragments fly like shards into my eyes
Banished to the realm of the anthropoids
In deaths derelict department store
Human version 2.0
The mortal simulation spawns a ravenous breed
We're micro-parasites and we're squirming in a petri dish
Flying around with their heads cut off
Ain't none more damned than the hungry ghosts
I look at the sky silver streaks are consuming the blue
I look at the rivers stinking streams overflowing with shit
I look in my coffee cup it's stained with the sweat of the slaves
I look at my cutlery it's sporting rigour mortis flesh
I look at the obsolescence thats built into our skin
I look at the sprites running round with their heads cut off
I look at an industry that sells plastic dream machines
I look at a blade rotate stagnated haemoglobin rots
Ain't none more damned than the Hungry Ghosts
(Feed the Hungry Ghosts)
Ghosts

Eat Sleep Die

Down by the meadow in a little bitty pool
Swam three little fishes and an alligator too
Swim little fishes if you don't want to die
Cos his big fat belly gonna swallow you alive
Out of my sight, out of my sight, out of my sight, and it all looks right
Out of my mind, out of my mind, out of my mind and it all feels fine
Out of my mouth, out of my mouth, out of my mouth, the lies come out
Out of my veins, out of my veins, out of my veins, the blood is black
The blood is black
I'm bleeding from the outside in
Feeling like my bones are on fire
Eat, Sleep, Die!
Eat, Sleep, Die!
Eat, Sleep, Die!
I watch those monkeys dance
I keep my nike's clean
Afraid of ghouls and monsters
I hide behind my disbelief
Ingesting pseudo-happiness therapy
Out of my sight, out of my sight, out of my sight, and it all looks right
Out of my mind, out of my mind, out of my mind and it all feels fine
Out of my mouth, out of my mouth, out of my mouth, the lies come out
Out of my veins, out of my veins, out of my veins, the blood is black
The blood is black
I'm bleeding from the outside in
Feeling like my bones are on fire
Eat, Sleep, Die!
Eat, Sleep, Die!
Eat, Sleep, Die!
I'm bleeding from the outside in
I'm bleeding from the outside in
I'm bleeding from the outside in
I'm bleeding from the outside in
Eat, Sleep, Die!
Eat, Sleep, Die!

Under The Dome
04:07
|

Step on a crack and you’ll fall and break your back
And the cymbal monkeys clap
And the symbol monkeys clap
Step on a crack and you’ll fall and break your back
And the cymbal monkeys clap
And you’re never coming back
A long time ago there was a contract for your soul
Devised by archons and the gods of old
They fashioned keys for the wind in cymbal monkeys
Unknowing minions under the dome
Under the dome
They fashioned keys for the cymbal monkeys
Don't care for superstition
But when beneath the horizon stalls
Flat lies an earthly prison
Under the dome
Step on a crack and you’ll fall and break your back
Click thrice your heals and you'll all be home
Sum of all crashes drown out the truth
Reverberations under the dome
Under the dome
Sum of all crashes drown out truth
Don't heed the revelations
But when the gears begin to slow
All sins are cos equations
Oh it’s a bit of a shock
When your sitting in the local coffee shop
And you pull your head out of the news
Instant clarity hits you like an epiphany
All on account of seeking the truth
And it’s a bit of a shock
When you find your head on a chopping block
All on account of speaking the truth
The square wave cuts the sin
Hell is a prison your living in
Your soul is gonna be food
For the packman moon
