Mental Models Under steeples gather winter-wolves Blaming us for our desire Edicts from the guilt economy Domination inside Relics from a modern fallacy “Our observations sum life” Enigmatic existentially Anthropocentrism specious CH: Mental constructs of oppression Lies to make your views right Expose your reason to the first event Deconstruct and emerge Toxic cynicism antidote Faith should not be so blind But common sense is just an artifact In Plato’s cave we surmise

Sleep When you hear the tired spun Voice of many face Scared to say goodbye Pasted by my heart Skipping many precious Pain stuck like a bone So it’s time to say hello Tests and autumn trials Somewhere down my line Line up on the left Plugged up and denying Sure do miss you sleep CH: So come on and say I won’t take your shit Yeah you can trust me Cuz I have been there man While shutting in no stood? Powder zen is lying Palms toward the sky Eyes down to the ground Slave man bent and willing Knees on self-imposed Joker-smile undead Final unbecoming Clamp down and close in Dark messages refrain Too late for the mend Sure do miss you sleep

Underwater When I can’t begin to take in all the din I covet to propose to solve for where I am All ultraviolet hues red spectra left above Impatient to my call, obsessed with down below Now find the water mass with senses from before Way back where acid make you look so long ago Old creatures calling from the depths you can’t ignore We’ll fill our lungs with liquid far beyond the shore CHORUS: All to get away from you Underwater turning blue No rewards for wealthy few Underwater turning blue Now months and years had passed and surfacing I found There’s still so much to do while I’m above the ground Escape and comfort dead, now vehemence is born Above the water now but yearning for the shore Come on and join us

Committed In the devil’s parlor I became enraged Full of sacred powder Fucked up in my head CH: You can’t get to me, I’m really out there Structure’s what you need, and I can’t deliver Always seem to blow anything stable Come on down now, and sit at my table Permanent committal Embryonic sleep Swallowed by The Other I can finally see

Via/Penny Dreadful Forward oppose Ideal, exemplar Occur and convocation stir Obtuse third eye Do this tomorrow They would replace him Stand here forever A show impossible This animal… No more impossible it seems CH: Warm it down Warm it down Manifest [real is in the way] Onus betrays No change eternal The weight of gnosis Dead eyes unblinking Shards of evasion spray The others now In Carbon Chauvinism weep… Real is in The Way Real is in the way! Real is in The Way

Relief You can ride a bike for bread Just don’t fall off the earth Simple times were never there We all rewrote the book A candied thought so pinpoint-pure Only in theory though I can feel my man is near Relief is almost here CH: I guess I’ll see you, you’re out for the night Tomorrow we start taking back our lives I have to know, are you there? Until you wake up I’ll just let you smile There’s no need to tap a vein Unless you’re decadent Watch the smoke that’s hanging still The clouds inside my room Let’s conjure up some thunderheads And watch the numbers change Cuz nothing’s more than I can do This city’s precedent

Blood If you want blood, you got it If you like bone, I’ll break it CH: Something came to me, now look into my eyes Afraid you’ll go away, forget about our ties Outro: I gave today

Cleanliness Made the claim Don’t show up You’re such a goddam flake, it sure suits you You pick the pain Any color you like You know it comes around I’m glad it comes around Get high… Give it up now before it makes you a citizen I won’t be found when the time comes for payment You’re fucking up hard because you don’t need a favor It’s simple to me to just write you off It’s simple to me to just write you off You never say sorry

Screen You caught me strung out freakin’ Please don’t run so I can hurt you My deal went down last Friday Can’t see myself in that mirror CH: And when you call, you think I’m not here But I can hear you fine it’s just I’ve lost my skills So come on call me back, cuz I’m still listening And we all need a friend… Get another friend! Have another rail! So by the way, how’re you feeling? Could you say that you’re involved? And now you’re fine, trained in sorrow Place it on your head, join the movement Why?!

Not For Me I’ve seen friends lose their lives over one pair of eyes And I’ve seen a friend lose his mind And leave it on a mirror. That’s not for me I stand on the ground Unable to reach you Straight to the bottom I won’t go to meet you Like a ramp going up And you keep slippin’ down Like a ride at the circus That you keep ridin’ ‘round That’s not for me.

Blacklight You could have said goodbye You should have said goodbye No more sedation still, I sigh… You sure did get me high CH: Out of the woods, cold, stay a year Grow yourself out and make a smile Smoke can take us out of here So take the herb and fill the pipe The trees are green again Changing sky from blue to red Come sit down and talk with me Where we can stare for hours… OUTRO: We won’t listen We only stare We’re always high Couldn’t you stay - In place of leaving? Turn on a blacklight
