cookie 02:52
Licking the cookie Declares the territory Licking the cookie Shows where it's gonna go Shows where it's gonna go Shows where it's gonna go Licking the cookie Defines this fine society Licking the cookie Even if you have no use for it Even if you don't want it Even if you don't like it When you Swallow the sun You know that you'll get bad heartburn When you swallow the sun You sweat, splutter, you just don't seem to learn You even say you're not here to learn And what's worse, you say there's nothing left to I wanna hit your button, It's so big, red and pushy I wanna hit yourbutton Saying no is just asking too much So can you understand this anarchy Or what Dalton Fury'd say I want to bounce on something Hear you slip a frisky giggle I want to bounce on something Oh no here come the ruffles Of somewhat peculiar goings-on In a renewal of temperance and virtue

not the same 03:04
Like a little shaved angry monkey Won from pirates in a late night poker game Not much as soulful company Just as likely to bite somebody's face You say that were living like kings And days like these will never end I forget to the party just what you bring But expired poppers and crazy eyes Not the same Not the same Eeking out an existence Surviving squalor until the trust fund cheques roll in In the gallery extracting espresso Slicked back hair and a hot black uniform Also inside über glasses Jerome and Saul argue who's the best lover of Chagall Freak me, freak me screamed Marta Those Russian play writes sure taught me to suffer Not the same Not the same He was a superb poet that man He said god never injures the drunk or dumb Don't kill if you don't intend to maim Fun is fun but done is done is dumb His favourite mix tape celebrated a decade Of being a bad boy but a really good guy It's unadulterated, untenable It's unacceptable, unattainable

I wanna go 02:23
I wanna go I gotta go Its gonna blow. This no show show I wanna go I gotta go Its gonna blow This no show show He has to go and ruin it, He has to go and ruin, it (well got form for it, form for it) I'm gonna make him rebuild it, I'm gonna make him rebuild, it (well for the hate of it) It's never been quite the same, It's never been the same again, (Well I'm over it, well over it) Too alike to like despite the spite, To alike to not like the respite (in plain sight) I wanna go I gotta go Its gonna blow. This no show show I wanna go I gotta go Its gonna blow This no show show I wanna go I gotta go Its gonna blow. This no show show I wanna go I gotta go Its gonna blow This no show show

Sometimes behaves so strangely the cat paradox, where's the control? One sided stilted conversation Despite all the words, like saying nothing at all Yeah you go ahead and you keep your diary So cynical, go hug, kiss some strange baby If you're not hot or cold, you're hungry or thirsty Not satisfied until we're dissatisfied And we've pledge to stay true, to justly stay the same Just stays the same Just stays the same Just stays the same Just stays the same Just stays the same Just stays the same Just stays the same Just stays the same Just Stays Just stays Just stays, just stays the same Sometimes behaves so strangely Tell me this, why stand in small rooms alone I'd like an impasse in this negotiation Our chaos reigns, while our vortex stays resigned I'd like to impasse on this capitulation Not real fair, you know he's my nightmare guy It's on, it's off, off and on often the same thing Not satisfied until we're dissatisfied And we've pledge to stay true, to justly stay the same Just stays the same Just stays the same Just stays the same Just stays the same Just stays the same Just stays the same Just stays the same Just stays the same Just Stays Just stays Just stays, just stays the same

would you? 02:55
You asked, me to, be a, little more specific please So why, won't you, then go and, shove over a tiny bit And on, top of, to top, this that and furthermore Go take, a cup, of shut, shut the fuck up now Who can,feel the, change here and, spot the difference now Beware, to compare, complaints is the, real danger here Good will, it's done, who knows to, even know to care The time, it's up, so it's up to, us to stop the clock It's no, longer, fun to, play around like this To compliment, makes sense then go, cuckoo for the contraband Tell me, your views, before the, massacre of innocence Extrapolate, on this to, see where it ends up

my dear 03:38
Might I say , my dear that you Failed to, endear yourself at all To the angry, hungry mob Baying for blood, right from the start You get what you get, get upset Starts out slow, until it's even less You've made it fast, worse, and little more In turn from hero, to traitor My dear Oh dear My dear You should have seen, just what I heard About the truth, the doubt, the absurd Powers, talent, for hyperbole And your engine, of catastrophe And in that great disloyalty Done for love, get your kicks for free The meek shall eat, of the sacrifice In her event horizon, paradise My dear Oh dear My dear insert the moral, if any here Deceived, surveilled, black mirror fear Accuse enemies, of that you're guilty A dear god, please no, finality Vengeance all that, you have left A conscience, all clear, yet bereft And if it's what I think, it's terrible Deaths emissary, soul cannibal My dear Oh dear My dear

thoughts... 03:29
Oh no here we go again, Where do I even begin My first last thought on any other day, Will would you give it any thought today What is! is, is What? What is! is, is What? What is! is, is What? What is! is, is What? Remember the time that I, I complained, I forget a time that I, I refrained That was dumb, was nearly always numb, That was dumb, but was sometimes kinda fun The thought of limits and the limits of thought The thought of limits and the limits of thought The thought of limits and the limits of thought The thought of limits and the limits of thought Wasn't afraid of the wet stuff, Went to work with fragments and shards Even started creeping out the bad guys, Coups only painful to those that don't die Pro the Poetic profanity Pro the Poetic profanity Pro the Poetic profanity pro Such profane Poe poetry Fucking fuckers fucking fucked, fuck Fucking fuckers fucking fucked, fuck Fucking fuckers fucking fucked, fuck Fucking fuckers fucking fucked, fuck

bad dreams 03:40
Bleary eyed at the scene of the crime It's turned 2 o'clock Fifth morning in a row Her breathing is The only sound, as my Senses adjust And a kind of calm returns It's just a bad dream Just a bad dream Nothing more than a bad dream What would you say If I awoke you each night And frightened you with all manner Of unmentionable scenes What would you say if I Never let you free What would you say if I Asked you to be me... Would you say It's just a bad dream Just a bad dream Nothing more than a bad dream What Can be done to undo what Is already done Just like the Sandalwood girl I long to be free.. From these Bad dreams Bad dreams These bad dreams

I don't subscribe To this way it's done But I can't deny The kinda place It's from You've done it hard You've done it all What a risk it was And what a mighty fall And what do I know Just what to do about it The greatest hoax Nobody bothered with I don't comply With this status quo This expectation To hide it below The principle At least in part the pleasure drive To tear it all apart And what do I know Just what to do about it The greatest hoax Nobody bothered with Mock the notion And tone it up a notch This insurrection Risks being squashed and It got weirder From there as time wore on His love was bloody rough Said this will hurt a lot And what do I know Just what to do about it The greatest hoax Nobody bothered with Not a step backwards Near equilibrium Man that never was Will never be Do not you dare Jerk the hyphen You cannot breathe Furnace of despair And what do I know Just what to do about it The greatest hoax Nobody bothered with

We're like the dinosaur End of our time of reign is near We're cursed creatures They'll find our bleached bones right here....so Stomp! Want! Stomp! Want! As did our ancestors Built on what became before Those damned predecessors Little thought as us for sure.... So Stomp! Want! Stomp! Want! Can't fight the universe Gods won't appear help save you now But just on impact atheist Sinner preacher they vow.....so It's the end , it's the end, of what we, of what we know It was wrong, it was wrong, what we, chose to choose It's the end , it's the end, of what we, of what we know It was wrong, it was wrong, what we, chose to choose It's the end , it's the end, of what we, of what we know It's the end , it's the end, of what we, of what we know It was wrong, it was wrong, what we, chose to choose It was wrong, it was wrong, what we, chose to choose...so Stomp! Want! Stomp! Want!

I don't know what I want I don't care too much I don't I don't i don't I don't know I don't I don't i don't I don't care But I at least know that Who is that random Guy smirking at me from the other side Ohh, that would explain Why she's letting him stroke her thigh Ice queen cometh On all fours by the highway Ice queen taketh Left with a zip cord tight around his throat I don't know what I want I don't care too much I don't I don't i don't I don't know I don't I don't i don't I don't care But at least know that for sure Is it de ja vu When you've been done over before Should he freak the nice girl Or just love the whore That was the last time She was the first to get in the car It was the first time He felt like he was the last one to know I don't know what I want I don't care too much I don't I don't i don't I don't know I don't I don't i don't I don't care But at least I know that for sure She cut up when she liked him She cut him out when she liked him not Lapse of passion brought the plan together Relapse in fashion tore it all apart Masters of disaster Enact the choctop plan, Advised it's too loud to rock Is as it was, too soft to play

The mistrust is strong Second guessing too long Now wipe your eyes and count the cash Gotta get to the club on time Central to you, maybe Could not see, through me Your kind of business, pays Well, But its sure not for free Hey wait a minute! I'm not feeling this! Let's really sell this, the Cover story must stick The whore is no more, she's Just in it for the dirty thrill of it Hey wait a minute! You're not feeling this? Hold that me first thought Bite that poison you tongue Kiss that cold upper hand, Opposite of what's been done Hey wait a minute! Were not feeling this! The mistrust is strong Second guessing too long Now wipe your eyes and count the cash Gotta get to the club on time Be aware you're not aware Maybe present but not there Where did it all go wrong Well, It was done before it begun Hey wait a minute! I'm not feeling this! When base narcissism Meets cosmic nihilism The prophecy foretold An everyone dies scenario Hey wait a minute You're not feeling this? So let it be written So let it be done Worst nightmare will be made true, and it'll start with the little one Hey wait a minute! Were not feeling this!

die once 03:36
Live once, like that Die twice, like this So numbed, so scared Remorse, as recourse It's always, in all ways, been, question of persistence The impulse, the impact, and the commitment So is it, so is it, not, to be resisted Or was it, or was it, not, just not resisted Die once, like that Live twice, like this Filter, that fear Intent, as content It's always, in all ways, been, question of persistence The impulse, the impact, and the commitment So is it, so is it, not, to be resisted Or was it, or was it, not, just not resisted or Just not resisted Just not resisted Just not resisted just not resisted

And, this, this is why Can't, have, nice things today By, way, explanation....its eh Sub, par to, expectation Ahhhhhh The bunny, manifesto Had, not, noticed before May, be, cute and cuddly.... But A hapless, loser sadly Ahhhhhh It's full pump ahead, so Let's go punk instead It's full pump ahead, so Let's go punk instead Mechanics of untruth Soon, the,void the void avoid And, now, it's kicking in for sure Stop, meat, from thinking bout the sore I've done, what, I have done The right, thing, seldom free, but This holy, vendetta it Won't, make them, any un-deader It's full pump ahead, so Let's go punk instead It's full pump ahead, so Let's go punk instead It's full pump ahead, so Let's go punk instead It's full pump ahead, so Let's go punk instead The calm an illusion Stasis a delusion The calm an illusion Stasis a delusion

about

Always with the trying to connect to the network...
...said the introvert to the void...
This album is quite fast and loud. Always pushing the bpm's and the dB's.
Mostly recorded live over 5 days in June 2019. Nothing like rocking out during business hours.
