My Star
02:45
|

My star is rising
I pray you find it
If only things could stay the same
I never wanted
To feel it slip away
Ain't it just the way?
I've never felt like this before
Guess now I know what love is for
And I'm grateful, evermore
Forever faithful, forever yours.

Guidance
04:07
|

God send this simulation
Straight into the sun
God end these corporations
And their chosen ones
God guide our applications
God grant us funds
We beg for revelations
No, we will not be patient
God ease the hesitations
Easy does it now
I'm breathing reservations
Eyebrow raised in doubt
I'd leave the situation
But I do without
Train just left the station
I feel like I am ancient
Boss says his hair's a-raisin'
Says it's accursed
Says if we dare displays it
His rage will burst
My vision is amazing
My spirit thirsts
I say we light ablaze
And cauterize him first
Open up our hearts
Open them to guidance
Maybe stay the violence
Overload
Anyone that tries it
Open them to guidance
Ebb and flow
River of the ages
Turning all the pages
No one knows
If we'll ever make it
So let us lose our patience
Let it be undone
Open up our heart
Open it to guidance
Let us stay the violence
Overthrow
All of our reliance
On another's guidance
Open up our eyes

Prima Materia

Misery messiah
Singing to the choir
Sentiment will set you free
Reset your dream
Is a revolutionary
Really necessary?
Just another creature
With the craft of kings
Who keep it dark and scary
The thunder and the light-en-ing
Acceptably a-frightening
To the sightless
The message is the medium
Obsequious tedium
Lifeless
Prima materia
Prima materia
Mayhaps the master is a masochist
Sisyphus, mayhaps the man's immaculate
Either way, this aster is a massive hit
At the establishment
The mastery of elements
Elevate the celebrant
Sussurations emanate from their envelopment
In glorious empathogens
The passage ends
No system of government
Could ever represent
The cycle of somnambulance
In psychologic adamants
Devoted to the definite
At infinite expense
Assuming one is genuine becomes a risk
A calculation entered in
Is it better to surrender
Or render them to cinders?
God forbid the system live
Nectar in sieve
The dredge of what the schism gives us
And the schism gives us
A dose of potion, dose of lip
So do forgive us
For having lack of what our betters
And make believing something better
Where we all play together
Your power is severed
Forever
Prima materia
Prima materia
Prima materia
Prima materia, materia, materia
It is more than it seems
It is all that we dreamed
(Prima materia)
It is more than it seems
(Prima materia)
It is all that we dreamed
(Prima materia)
(Prima materia)
It is more than it seems
(Prima materia)
It is all that we dreamed
It is more than it seems

Sage
04:32
|

Psychotic arhythmic machiavellians
Have a seat, shut your hellions
I pray that you obtain
The daoist way of human pain, now
I admittedly cashed out
Dropped acid, I'm starting to crash now
Past that, lets fuck with it mask out
Suck on this trash in succulent pastel
Pontificating upon a parody
Honorific adversary apparently
Is scared of my shit, says I'm given to heresy
Well listen, I'm afraid
I'm a couple of pages past
Writing lyrical therapy
Getting gas as the cynical stare at me
Cutting my skin for the sin of celerity
The fuckin' barbarity,
Seems strange to see sages
Strapped with such terrible clarity
Revenants backed by a saccharine polarity
Having a chat, thinking better to stare at these
Ass-backward plats than have a classical
Verity get cracked but
Stacked under stress singularity
Magnification applied dexterily
Coagulation of unmixed barony blood
Been tearing it up son and not sterilely
See, Christ is a blueprint
No illusions
Choose to groove to the fusion
Prove that doom on the quantum
Don't try to cop some Zune fulla wampum
Tomb of vedanta
You woulda dumped him
Cried Jude and then stomped him
Whole crew woulda jumped him
Coup for the sunset truth
That the gunshot youth
Is a victim of you, now
Into ribbons cut your faith
Not too late, not too late
Who's forgiven, who forsakes
Not too late, not too late
Hindu visions, apostates
Not too late, not too late
Superstitions in the sage
Not too late
I'm fucking sick of the synonyms
Stuttering hypocrites and minutemen
Shooting their dicks, getting the Ritalin
To innocents, eyes blue from the cinnamon hue now
The fuck you envisioning?
This imminent hell's hella limiting
'Stead of dithering, go widdershins
Smoke prescience, toke ambivalence
Disseminate reverence
Incentivize eminence, consign this
Erudite elegance to the tribe of a
Terrified audience, prophesied in a
Mess of blind providence, verified by the
Hive intelligentsia
What the left-right represents to ya
Matters not 'cause you ain't got status
(Oh, savage)
Damn it's a whole fuckin' mood
Can't stand but you know it's fuckin' true
Let 'em come for ya, let 'em through
Take a hint from the motherfuckin' youths
Simply surrender 'til the system is on lock
Is this mission from your maker?
Does it satisfy your cock? Well
There's something better now, something deeper
Something heavy for the heavy fuckin' sleepers
Something powerful, something real
Something shocking that'll sock you in the feelers
Something genuine and attuned
Like a venue in the center of a room
Never needed Anck-Su-Namun
'Cause you already doomed
Into ribbons cut your faith
Not too late, not too late
Who's forgiven, who forsakes
Not too late, not too late
Hindu visions, apostates
Not too late, not too late
Superstitions in the sage
Not too late

Lifeline

Big feelings
The music in my head
Is keeping me from bed
The rhythm of my heart
Recalling what you said
If it was just a question of my everlasting love
I'd know what I should do
Feels like I'm just lucky enough
Being friends with you
Maybe she's the light of God
Maybe she's a lightning rod
Maybe she's a reason to believe in the sublime
She's divine, she's divine
Forgive the double take
I dread my old mistakes
I've thrown my heart away
On one too many second dates
But there's a time and place
For self-reflection, and I'd really hate
To let this chance escape
There's sunshine
Hidden in your eyes
Every time you smile
I find I'd simply like
To stare at them awhile
Maybe she's the light of God
Maybe she's a lightning rod
Maybe she's a reason to believe in the sublime
She's divine, she's divine
Maybe she's the light of God
Maybe she's a lightning rod
Maybe she's a reason to believe in the sublime
She's divine, she's divine
She's divine

Captivation
04:34
|
|||
My heart is giving in
High as a raven
In celebration
Anticipation
Intoxication
Is jubilation
Babe I'm so patient
For your captivation
Just take me now
Breathless
Absolutely breathless
Put the real in ethereal
I crave your material
It's relentless
From just one kiss
I'm defenseless
She's so infectious
My heart has given in
High as a raven
In celebration
Anticipation
Intoxication
Is jubilation
Babe I'm so patient
For your captivation
Just take me now
Gotta say, didn't expect
To be affected like Romeo just met Juliet
I'm not upset, but still gotta vet
'Cause this doesn't seem real
It seems like After Effects
That silhouette, that smile, that neck
Just mark me for death inside your oubliette
Please, show me those eyes
Show me a life lived without an ounce of regret
Cut into my life like a hot knife
Elevate my sights into new heights
Continue to raise me up
Let the limerence continue 'till my days be up
I could've died without ever having held your hand
But alas I'm a changed man, God damn
It's a lyrical, empirical, spiritual miracle
And baby, here it goes

Abide
04:23
|

I fucking hate it
It hurts like hell
And God it takes so long
Can't fucking stand it
If I try to help it
Something will go wrong
But if I hold in place
It's perfectly safe
I'll be fine
Fine enough
This agitation
Keeps rising up
Like sirens in the rain
Cohabitation
I apologize
Wish I could cede the pain
But I believe in you
And I've decided I'll abide
I'll abide
Abide by your side
Abide by your side
It's only time
If only I could know the signs
I'd know it's fine
Enough
I hope we make it
Though I suppose it seems
I don't know what that means
It's good to see you
How you feeling?
Have you been having vivid dreams?
Don't know that
I'm thinking straight
Or if I shouldn't take a side
In your life
Well I believe in you
And I've decided I'll abide
I'll abide
Abide by your side
Abide by your side
It's only time
If only I could know the signs
I'd know it's fine
Enough
I know it's fine
I know it's fine
I know it's fine
I know it's fine
Fine enough
I know it's fine
I know it's fine
I know it's fine
I know it's fine
I know it's fine
I know it's fine
I know it's fine
I know it's fine
I know it's fine
I know it's fine
I know it's fine
I know it's fine
I know it's fine
I know it's fine

Moldavite
I guess I wasn't right
I guess I didn't know
I guess it wasn't time
Moldavite
I hope you're alright
I hope that things are all
You need for them to be
Oh, oh, oh
Moldavite
You are still the light
You'll always be the one
That opened up my eyes
Moldavite

Game Theory
03:46
|
|||
Different rules
Different game
Different game
The love that you give
A suffering staving
Off an old pain
I'm falling inside
Stalling for time
Calling your name
If only you knew
How much you have changed
The hue of my light
You hate me, don't you?
Or am I simply going insane?
Different game
Different game
I'd damn sure die to save you
I'd contract cancer, writhe and praise you
Cry as my fingers dried in place
I'd pickle my pointless brain and face
I'm dodging my dharma, hide undercover
Mighta been the pharmacist
Keeping me from having to wonder
Apathy's a blast for a sucker
Suck it up enough and win your prize

Untouchable
03:02
|

Sounds like my enemies
Are sick of my chemistry
Show 'nuff, double down
Inject it into me
They tell me I'm a fool
Fucked up, untouchable
They say I've given in so
Go and watch me bleed
Do you wish you didn't know
I'm untouchable
There isn't anywhere to go
I am untouchable
Did you ever think that maybe
God hesitated when he made me?
I been losing focus lately
Now I think I'm losing my mind
Isn't it indicative of madness
How gladly I invoke my right
To agitate and cut my life in two?
I'm a product of a broken age
Of wicked paladins and wounded pages
There's nothing left for me to do
Do you wish you didn't know me?
The untouchable me
There's nothing new to show me
I know me, I know me, I know

Just admit it
Cry uncle
Keeping me limited
I reckon had to been
Rough on your mother or
Somebody other than me
We build our prison now
Sing as the sun goes down
Waft in on cigarettes
Do ostentatious pirouettes
Fine fabrics, book of checks
Confidence, so much debt
I'm pressed, but I ain't stressed
Immortal essence be at rest
I've done my very best
So give me what I need
I need
(Panopticon)
I need
(Panopticon)
I need
(Panopticon)
Please
Go on ahead now, kings and queens
Testify your wicked dreams
Your otherworldly screams
Remind us what's at stake
Don't dither, time is low
Clock towering, time to go
Grim darkness, undertow
We will forget your name
Disgrace
Disgrace
Forget my face
Forget my face
And know your place
Panopticon
(Panopticon)
Panopticon

Panopticon

Sublimation
03:46
|

There's something here about salvation
There's something hidden in the script
Maybe it is only sublimation
But I savor every bit
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
God sends his angels and deceivers
Ascending avenues and halls
Activating every state of being
With every back against a wall
God send this simulation straight into the sun
God end these corporations and their chosen ones
God send this simulation straight into the sun
God end these corporations and their chosen ones
God send this simulation straight into the sun
God end these corporations and their chosen ones
God send this simulation straight into the sun
God end these corporations
Maybe it is only sublimation
But I savor every bit

With Me
04:42
|

Would you believe
That I've seen this in dreams?
Is it redeemed?
Well I think it's alright
That it fades
You know, I cannot repay
What I am given
But baby listen
I have never been
Such a happy man
La da da da
Da da da
Ha hah
I've had destinies
And I've known ecstasies
I've sampled every taste and variation
But you weren't scared
And you could see
You could understand
What it's like to be
With me
Could it really be
As good as it seems?
What am I saying?
Don't wake me from this dream
Let me retire
Take me away
Show me the wildness
I'm dying to free
La da da da
Da da da
Ha hah
I cannot escape the fact
That I've let something hold me back
And if I could release it
I'd be free
So I been testing this and that
And I been bested, I been had
But I'm surprised at how well
I can breathe
I can only crystallize
Truth that I have realized
And I have realized myself
In thee
And if I'd made a different pact
I would still be holding back
'Cause baby won't you look
What I can be
When you're
With me
