Hey
I need to show you this
Hey
They weren't only myths
We need to go deep
into the forest
Deep 'till the trees
absorb all of us
Far away from any
electric glow
To let nature take back
what it's owed
I swear it's safe and It'll be fine
Well as long as the moon's
aligned
We will be fine, it's a good time
We just can't cry
or the stars will burn us alive, but now
Look at what we can see
future and the past
fractalising like a tree
look at what I can do
It's about to give you
A whole new world view
I can make fire, I can make light
I can make the stars burn twice as bright
Can you hear the spirits of the night
Shouting out in awe and delight?
Hey
You can try it now
Just a little blood
For the man of the clouds
And now the sky is a giant spiral
the planets are all hexagonal
All of the sigils
Intense their glows
soon nature will reap
what it has sowed
I swear it's safe and it'll be fine
Well as long as
we stay out of sight
We will be fine, please just believe
Don't go a-way
cos the light keeps them at bay, but wait
Look at what we can see
future and the past
fractalising like a tree
Look at what I can do
This is about to give you
A whole new world view
I can make Aurora, I'll make Gods adore ya'
I can make the sky a supernova
Can't you hear the spirits of the night
Shouting out in awful delight?
No wait no no wait no please don't r-un
We just were we just were having f-un
Our souls will leave us soon
Because it's all undone
The stars and the moon are starting to fall
We shouldn't have tried this dumb thing at all
The portal's birthing beasts
the spirits have been unleashed

Hexagon
03:06

hexagrams guide
spirtual divide
ying and yang are sides
of the same hexagon
Perfect tesselation
Causes elation
In all those who witness
The faultless hexagon
Eddy flows provide
Another way to derive
an astronomically sized
spiraling hexagon
Carbon nanotubes
The strongest material
Can only find their strength
from the hexagon
The group of symmetry
Flawlessly describes
The bonding of benzene
for your pesticides
Despose of topology
and unless homology
We barely need geometry
To find the hexagon
Join our ways
Sing its praise
Can't you see?
It'll set us free
It's divinity
double trinity
You won't suffer
Any
Ardenoleukodystrophy
Compact circle packing
in two dimensions
finds no intersections
in a hexagonal formation
Organic formulation
Usually results in
The storage solution
using the hexagon
The spirital power
Has been harnessed to shower
everyone in
6 sided enlightment
The star of david
The seal of soloman
The shatkona yantra
The double triquetra
The universe was born
in just 6 days
6 types of quarks
make up the cosmic haze
It isn't coincidence
it isn't just chance
that the universe performs
a hexagonal dance

Legacy
04:00

People everywhere there's people everywhere
Their voices drown out the song in the air
So many stories] flowing down the stream
I can't even pick out my own dream
Too many thoughts there's too many thoughts
The great pressure pushes with force
The end of the path draws ever near
Despite the black void I have just one fear
Is that all I'm left with
Just a ghost of mist
Is that all I really am
Just a hollow shell of a man
Is it really such insanity
To try and mark reality
It really is such a rarity
to get a lasting legacy
God I hope that eventually
I'll get some end to this anxiety
Over the possibility
of leaving an inadequate legacy
There's too little time there's too little time
Find out the exit from this pantomime
Head to the source of all that is fleeting
Cause an omega-k, rip out it's heart, still beating
The people are enraged they call me insane
They should be glad I ended the flow's reign
Is that not what all our souls really want?
To finally be free from the clock
Is it really such insanity
To try and mark reality
It really is such a rarity
to get a lasting legacy
God I hope that eventually
I'll get some end to this anxiety
Over the possibility
of leaving an inadequate legacy

Bluebells
04:45
|

|
Drip drip drip the rain begins to pour
flowers begin to grow up off of the floor
Vines curling, leaves shaking; bluebells still blooming
Shine shine shine the sun won't rise
Petals of the past grow more unwise
fruit rotting, grass drying; bluebells still blooming
The upside of the downside is that the
outside of my insides
are on the topside of the lowside
of the wall
even now my bluebells are still blooming just for you
bluebells are still blooming just for you
the inside of the inside
at this hightide of feeling
with the moonlight slowly dawning
on my mind
I find my bluebells are still blooming just for you
bluebells are still blooming just for you
Shake Shake Shake my hand begins to steady
Fingers all poised and at the ready
Trees burning, Buds dying; bluebells still blooming
Bang Bang Bang the sky starts falling
Irreconcilable thoughts start forming
Shrubs thriving, Crops yielding; bluebells stop blooming
But don't worry, don't worry now
don't worry, don't worry now
don't worry, don't worry now
don't worry, it's over now
don't worry, don't worry now
don't worry, don't worry now
don't worry, don't worry now
don't worry, it's over now
(Spoken)
Not yet
Your time is still to come
Live
Feel alive
Breathe in deep
and assume your form
The upside of the downside is that the
outside of my insides
are on the topside of the lowside
of the wall
now my bluebells are still blooming just for you
bluebells are still blooming just for you
the outside of the outside
The lightside of the darkside
shines off the round richochet
in my head
And yet my bluebells are still blooming just for you
bluebells are still blooming just for you

Cabin Fever
03:56

|
I've been here for
God knows how long
I can't remember the sun
Now call me mad
But I'm quite glad
I'm shut away in here
Wait what was that
Just stay sat there
it's breathing down your
back
(But they all seem to say)
(Cabin Fever's here to stay)
Knock at the door
You'll have to try more
I'm not falling for that
Pick up the phone
and call back home
but what if they're not real
[they're not]
Open the blinds
Everyone stares
I don't meet their glares
(If light keeps them at bay)
(Then fire will keep me sane)

Scary Man
04:24
|
|||
|
In my home
within a room
There is something
That's quite unknown
He is big
And he is loud
And he always
has a frown, he's a
scary man
scary man
He's not bad
If you know him
He's just angry
Around strangers
He just wants
A tasty treat
But he only eats
Human meat, He's a
Hungry Man
Scary Man
He's covered
In head to toe
With dark brown fur
stained black red
when he roars
he shakes the floors
and keeps me up
through the night, he's a
hairy man
scary man
I still remember the day I found him
with blood on his claws and the sky a spiral
you can't see him, you'll probably die
Yes he's a monster
why would I lie?]
(You're my scary man)
(I'm your normal man)
(They don't like)
(Unusual things)
(Like you and me)
(And me and you)
(I'll keep you safe)
(I'll keep you safe)
In my home
within a room
There is something
That's quite unknown
He is big
And he is loud
And he always
wears a frown, he's a
furry man
not quite man
scary man

Wirehead
03:50
|
|||
|
I was a young boy just playing outside
But I was taken before I could hide
They took me somewhere deep under the ground
Their machines lit up with an awful sound
A monolith of buttons and wires
Alive with sounds of electric fire
Solid brass was helmet placed onto me
The machine sucked the soul right out of me
Oh how I wish I'd just stayed home instead
but now I'm trapped as a wirehead
It was cold it was dark inside the wires
There wasn't much space to breathe in the file
I was trapped before seeing a light
a cloud of ones and ohs came into my sight
I'd soon learned of their grave misstep
They'd attached me right to the internet
All their details were free for the taking
As they slept in their homes I was there waiting
They turned on their computers one by one
I burnt down their houses one by one
After years and years of floating all docile
Starting to resent my digital lifestyle
I'd left my humanity long ago
They'd failed to save me, they'll reap what they sowed
Thousands of miles, I moved instantly
I hacked at their firewall persistently
After hours I'd broken through
I cracked a smile, this was my debut
Every TV in this hemosphere
lit up with an image of my sneer
I gave my speech
said my goodbye's
cause humanity was
about to be fried
They really should've hidden
This button better
Good thing there's internet
In fallout shelters

Moonlit Drive
04:08
|
|||
|
Driving out on the
empty road, I
know now where I
need to go
back to where it had
all began back
to where the first
song is sang
Shouting out to the
bright moonshine, I
thank her for her
watchful eye
The rift ripped up over
half the sky
gone before a blink
of her eye
Now I'm out on
this moonlit drive with
shining stars
burning too bright
must hold on, but I
can't go on
reality lies
out there tonight
living on
in the past
how much longer
can I last
on this moonlit drive
on this moonlit drive
Driving on my way
back home, I've
gone to where
I've had to go
back to where it had
all gone wrong back
to where the
spirits first sung
Drinking the last of
my moonshine, I
thank it for clearing
my mind
What I want
wasn't what I needed
I'll have it all
in due-ew time
Now I'm out on
this moonlit drive with
shining stars
burning half bright
must hold on, but I
will go on
reality's lies
were here tonight
living on
with the past
how much longer
will I last
on this moonlit drive
on this moonlit drive
