Your Way
04:22

You don’t remember what came before
But you’re always reaching
You don’t know better, you don’t know more
You ain’t no teacher
You ain’t our parents, dopamine parasites
Just remember- we let you be
And leave with your lives
No one said they needed saved- no
Do what you do, say what you say, then go your way
Go far away
Your intention’s purely vengeance, plain to see
You’re playing house, an angry child
In need of therapy
No one pushed no one away, no
Do what you do, say what you say, then go your way
Go far away
No one asked you to come
Do what you do, say what you say, then go your way
Go far away

Allein

As the desert cracks
Wind’s eroding through me
Burn like paper, my skin withering
No soul within me
A fixture in the night-time sky, unreachable
I’m on the ground when once I’d fly- reasonable
Remember, try- when things would excite me
Remember, try- when there was wonder inside me
Ganz allein
No soul within me
Remember, try- when things would excite me
Remember, try- when there was wonder inside me
Ganz allein
When there was wonder inside
Wonder inside me
Ganz allein

Spaceship Operator <=>
04:13

It’s a quiet night, spring time
Fifty-five, a two-lane road
Off in the distant night-time sky
It caught my eye, a shimmering globe
We took our turn to the country
A single light’s now two or three
Low in the sky, right along-side
The spheres match our velocity
I felt a chill, and the air went dead
My friend delights, he says he’s seen the lights
He turns off to chase them, I’m paralyzed
He’s flashing his brights, I start to cry
(It was ’99, “Fire In the Sky”)
And yet he’s trying to communicate
I feel doomed to fate out here on this desolate road
I can picture it in my head: we’ll feel a chill, and the air goes dead
The stranger appears. To our minds, he says
I’m a space ship operator, I’m your off-world man
I’m a space ship operator. Less than, equal, greater than you.
Sorry if I’m petrified. I ain’t seen this too many times.
Tears of flame, tears in space-time, like an insect before the Trine.
I’m a space ship operator, I’m your off-world man
I’m a space ship operator. Less than, equal, greater than you.
Greater than you.

My Eyes
04:03
|

You looked up with fear, you hate to impose
Speak up or be put out, we look down our nose
We sound our trumpets, you out in the cold
We turned around, went with the wind
Should’ve joined you then.
You looked up with fear, you hate to impose
Speak up or go hungry, we look down our nose
We sound our trumpets, you out in the cold
We bowed our heads, said “amen”
Should’ve joined you then.
We ride the high, feel so alive; though we die.
Hard to believe, hard to believe my eyes.
Memory-hole it like a childhood dream.
No one gonna believe it anyway
“You’re telling lies.”
All of these things, did in your name
Still we don’t know you.
You looked up and said you don’t know me.
Hard to believe, hard to believe my eyes.
Memory-hole it like a childhood dream.
No one gonna believe it anyway
“You’re telling lies.”

Dozer
06:25
|

Incorporated, one with the hive
Assimilated, fates worse than life
Run. hide. Don’t be taken alive.
Destroyer come on cloud of wrath
Cut a swath o’er field of bone
Behold Leviathan, leave no soul alone
Benevolent smile, malevolent wiles
You create nothing, metastasize.
Infest. Possess. Regress.
No withstanding the hive
So run. hide. Don’t be taken alive.
Close. Closer. Fear the Dozer.
You come alone, leave much the same
Resist the wind and waves
And feel the hand that guides you.
But listen here, take heed my warning
Lest you join the throng.
Though you feel strong, your time will come
And none will come to find you.
Run. Hide. Don’t be taken alive.
Close. Closer. Fear the Dozer.

Sacred Sound
04:58
|

Lone Reaktor broadcasting across the schism’d sky
We read you through the static.
Our cuneiform in bottles cast across the great divide
Yet the sin of generations
Endures the conflagration.
There exists a soul in silence, yet when the current flows
Pin-prick of dark in fire, a heart of gears withstand the years.
Principality descend their swords on the oracles
Brought low by divine decree
Their brittle blades break on the waves
Of sacred sound.
Yet the sins of generation
Endure the conflagration.
There exists a soul in silence, yet when the current flows
Pin-prick of dark in fire, a heart of gears withstand the years.
Principality descend their swords on the oracles
Brought low by divine decree
Their brittle blades break on the waves
Of sacred sound.

Dross
05:08
|

It’s depressing, sad to see
So called bodies heavenly
Manipulate the course of the weak
With artificial gravity- yeah.
Aeons ago, flung far from home
We’re way too fast for you to stop us
We found our strength in being alone
Don’t be surprised you got nothing for us.
We can see from afar, you’re climbin’ climbin’
Pieces of you fall, they’re tumblin’ tumblin’
Poor souls below, just hopin’ hopin’
To get a piece of the dope, but they don’t know
Well the shit rolls down hill as they climb to the top
The people screamin’ for cream, but they’re gonna get dross
There’s panic in the air when all the earth’s a stage
Narcissistic flair, psycho-somatic phage
I can’t turn back the clock, I cannot change the past
Nice guys learn after the socio-
Don’t be surprised at changes in the tide
Did you really think you could deliver?
Those precious hides on which you climbed
Only give a while ‘fore they get tired.
Well the shit rolls down hill as they climb to the top
The people screamin’ for cream, but they’re gonna get dross
There’s panic in the air when all the earth’s a stage
Narcissistic flair, psycho-somatic phage
I can’t turn back the clock, I cannot change the past
Nice guys learn after the socio-
There’s panic in the air when all the earth’s a stage
Narcissistic flair, psycho-somatic phage
I can’t turn back the clock, I cannot change the past
Nice guys learn after the sociopaths.
Ugh.
