The Control 04:30
lyrics

Don't you feel it After all? Feel it out of your control Unsympathetic pack of dogs A fate that's wandering through the halls You can fix this But it won't stay long So you can beat it? Run along That path is calling Join the call Or you can be a dreamer Now into the fold

Keep it Going 03:06
lyrics

Break it with all your glister Give it out one at a time If you hear the sound of the hits coming round start logging out the time Beat with the long of redemption Groove it with all the sides If you hear the pound of the beats coming round stand form, and lead it

Toe To Head 03:16
lyrics

Jump on the stand, do like you otta Or go all around the town and beat "here say" in all the mud Now one in a million, that will play When all the cats were out for the kill You were the only one, the only one who cared Echoed from New York to LA Now you're purposely underground bent backwards and body numb Oh all the hundreds that looked away Now back as an occupying wave You thought you were the holy one, but your the only one whose scared I guess maybe you're sorry No luck sorry's just not the thing One bite maybe they get tired Tired and hungry plays all the same Sure enough, shoulda foreseen this Head struck and wishing that you were dead It's only the world getting even Watch them feed on you toe to head

Simple Math 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Living out in some daze All following orders and love Limit the feelings, stock up on guts Or Bleed long enough to see the old wall torn down, again and then rebuilt Hey, it's the meaning of life It’s added up the same All a copy of a copy Of a small Disposable, single serving thought Fascist king or a billion dollar dream turnt up, again Pour the guilt, just what it takes to survive And it’s just another long story Howled out a million times a day No hope of moving it forward Soon enough to formally be remade Love cost and passion burns reason Change hurts, even when it saves the day I am the evidence for this I am a colorful scuttle bug

Echo / Ditto 04:18
lyrics
buy track
Don't want it someday I don't want it one day Need the time further out To slow down it's pace Don't need all the worries and sayings that've been hindering me And you know Time's the Devine And it never sleeps But the loops that I ride They all play one repeat Forces that may --with such ease, they keep my dreams boxed away Superfluous Not copy, echo, ditto Make some noise Superfluous Reaching for it, find it If its what you want

Fame Us 03:07
lyrics
buy track
Unbroken seals We Idol all around You mend everything If it's broke, clear it out Leave only highs around Excess come in Let the votary come and see thee Top everything Use all that's profound Gather the eyes around Well everyone's hungry for more top it off with some extra It's written we're famous, and there you go! It's best to kill A conscience is a weak offering Abuse everything If it lights, burn it down Spread the flame all around

Lull 03:03
lyrics
buy track
At the intersection of bye-gones, you know that you Never can complete anything, only know the fires circle around And get you Paste and post what could have set up love But what you can't confess, is its done And its gonna be alright, everything you needs inside of you It can break the round We all suffer in our own ways Drag emotion to the tough days Make the easy road a mad dog Claim our respect is under paid Never know what you couldn't learn Catch it up at the next turn Blurred Reason Independent trials and truths, that you Delivered to it your everything Hoping that the seed would bring you hope and fortune Raining bullfrogs like catacombs blowing a man back from the dead If that's hope Then its gonna be alright Cause you're prepped and found a feeding tube Till the proven truth

Methods 04:09
lyrics
buy track
Wake up wearing the dress that you adore Silvered in macrame Death cup pillaging deep in your heart If only you were faster to curb The demolition Think fast giving you time to find out What's beating in your god damn chest Gum shoe not spoken words from a martyr If only you were faster to learn Intuition Wake up unmarried to the past as you were Target gave up too late Forget all assortments of what you were Becoming faster you learn With fruition And you're outside, inside, right side wrong With a compound of inbound all sound off You've been on time, out of time, last time and on Minds been locked up, on e, turned off Cant be hung out, rung out anymore What was once lit, now sits, feeds the dark No more downtime, guideline, shoulder wall Road out's up, that's where you'll go Catch up to the glow

Thoroughgoing 03:01
lyrics
buy track
Take up the stairs to find you In the closet fiddling in your hide out I won't let the scene here be forsaken Your sweetness and your hair gleams While having some time alone All seems understood now Cause I know, I know you Leave no gestures or clues out Cause I know, I know you Life's feeling good now Cause I know, I know you Resting all shreds of doubt Cause I know, I know you You build up my weakening patience You're fast like a sloth butterflying through a cavern We got no means for dream awakening Its as simple as the sun yet Kool A.D. meets Nina Simone

Animalcules 04:30
lyrics

Now a landmark for boats that are coming But don't forget your struggle once to stand Go back the road you traveled and fix the maze Don't focus on "never" Forge the start
