Collecting salient chains, A new pretender
You’re on the other side
Another sanity plain, A new pretender
You’re on the other side
Lost in your digital grief without the answer
And on the other side
The glitches have cornered you in without an answer
And on the other side
The sound of humanity fell away,
Fell a way you weren’t sure
Once the parting of eyelids awoke you from daydream
Translating the cure when the tone ends
Shifted focus
Took your wrists and understanding
And the clarity’s worse when the colours of the echo chambers unite
Blessed, twisted, broken reason
And the colours of the same place held you blinded red
So you blame it on the reason
To break away, break away, break away
Translating the cure when the tone ends

Tapes twisting in time
This impassable scrape
Calculating your mind estate
Shapes shifting inside
This impassable scrape
Calculating your mind estate
Remote control
Like a mind ejected
Synesthesia shaping my lungs around
Let the digimeds carry you away
When your eyes become afraid to collapse
Calculating your mind estate
Is there anyone even out there?
Let the digimeds carry you away before the
Catch, release, collapse

Human Antenna

It feels cold in place of your rust within caution exchange
With this device and my meteor to change
I consent that I cease to exist
When it's okay that I emit transmission lines
Machines watching you learn
Why should you try?
One percent of eyes
Watching you learn
You shouldn’t comply
Accident supply
It calls “Because you are...”
Buried inside your own thoughts a little faster
I consent that I cease to exist
When it's okay that I emit transmission lines
Buried inside your head a little faster

The Clocks
05:06
|
|||
Comforting sounds on your skin
The colour of within, the corner of the senses
Comforting sounds of the simulation overdrive
Pretending you’re alive while
Comforting sounds of the waves
Creating floods in the thought graves
Comforting sounds, wondering how
As the ticking stops, the enquiry
Will the final second be the Holocene
As the ticking stops and the colour ends
The enquiry (and the echo)
Will the final second be the Holocene
Inside the white scene
I left it running
But the honesty was killing me

Luma Non Luma
02:49
|
|||
The eyes are outward while looking constantly inside
An itch behind the pale distorted screens of mind
Cutting out the vague shapes from a memory held in time
Passenger of the self
When your eyes magnify
And your skull becomes a broken projector screen
Asking on repeat: “Are you sure?”
|

Wounds Like Wires
04:17
|
|||
You tried to place the ‘I’s among
the lines of twisted conversations you used to play
You tried to raise the light
of all the artificial suns that feed your broken memories
You tried erasing all your elegies.
Relive relief, you're human
But I'm beginning to carry your head
And the pen turns on your relief
Half human, half breathing
But I'm beginning to carry your head
And the pen turns on your relief
Barely human, barely breathing
But I'm beginning to carry your head
And then pen turns on when I become your eyes again

Retreat Syndrome
02:42
|
|||
Still, in motion
Watching some way to find a phase
The presence that pulled that night
Attuned to what a second is to pain
The way to climb the maze
You find the scope and I was the actor
Trying to swallow the heartbeat of distant conversations
But I’m an hour away from giving you air

From The Sixth Floor
01:08
|
|||
The axis of the mind like a propane disaster
Now you're part of my chest

The potential anti-exhaustion
Untangled like butterflies in the dark of the seascapes of deceit
Torrential grey wipes it clean
Untangled like butterflies in the dark of the seascapes of deceit
We’re drenched with the cold forcing untold panic within
But these thoughts defy pulsing neon always clouding the sun
Uncut, you said “Falling alkaline”
(Lost in the words you carried away)
Uncut, you said “Falling alkaline, suddenly depend on me.”
The sequential grey, so unclean
We’re tangled in radio waves, lost in the words you carried away
Bones bathed in the cold forcing untold panic within
But these thoughts defy pulsing neon always clouding the sun
Some when
Somewhere, when I
Somewhere old, when I should
Somewhere old, when I should be here.
Lost in the words you carried away (so unclean)
Uncut you said, “Panic within”
Uncut you said, “Falling Alkaline”

Digitalis

Silence shading the panic room rearranged
But it’s hard for me to change
While I’ve been counting down my own blood supply
Why do you want to paint the whole downfall in me?
Count the words in red across the line of your veins
Sombre thoughts crack identities
The canvas in your mind begins to split and break away
But the edge remains in perma-stain for me
Start pulling away the tendons
Take apart the action reversal
Start pulling away the tendons
And it’s the air, it’s cutting, young swallows, to radiate
And it’s the air, it’s cutting, horizon
Latching part of your itch on the art
Glass between the dirt left in your fingernails
But how far would you, far could you, take yourself
Beyond the grips of your fears
Understanding leeches under the nightshade

Radio Silence
05:39
|
|||
Signs, you say, of pulling away
You hide the destination and the harness
Mouth the name, not always the same
You hide the cure beneath the letter sideways
Wake the pain, exist and fade yourself away
Genetics calling you out again
And it's forming delay behind the untruth
