Stoned With Sisyphus

Hoards a passing brush with fame
Leaves as quickly as it came
Pause or you might show your head
You can’t lose that street-cred
You’re like the Plato
To my Socrates
Oh please just let it go
This needs release
C’mon let’s all push your rock
Maybe then you’ll finally stop
You had a nasty slip on love
And fell into familiar drugs
Oooo let’s day-glo
You know it’s policy
Yeah these fears you’ve grown
Man they ain't me.

Alone in Paradise
03:25

I sit on the evening shore
Been pushing my way through this gore
And they’re always wanting more
And then I give way to feeling vain
I’m alone in paradise
Been longing for a new vice
Feeling numb is very nice
It makes me feel a bit like Christ
‘Cause I’m alone in paradise
I’m alone in paradise
I’m alone in paradise
I’m alone in paradise
Because even in paradise rodents dwell
My mind’s eye it reeks
With the stench of release
I’ve been pushing down this grand deceit
I’ll find myself lost on my cross
I’m alone in paradise
Been longing for a new vice
Feeling numb is very nice
It makes me feel a bit like Christ
‘Cause I’m alone in paradise
I’m alone in paradise
I’m alone in paradise
I’m alone in paradise
Because even in paradise rodents dwell

Hey you what’s going down
So you’re the new clown in town
Are you ready to taste the romance
C’mon, sinners, let’s dance
It’ll burn
It’ll burn
It’ll burn
It’ll burn, burn, burn
Where is my one true love
Where is my one true love
I just can’t get enough
So where is my love
Hey let’s all be ignorant
Gives us strength to finally repent
The corporation runs your messiah
Join the party bathe in fire
It burns
It burns
It burns
It burns, burns, burns
Where is my one true love
Where is my one true love
I just can’t get enough
So where is my love
Where is my one true love
Where is my one true love
I just can’t get enough
So where is my love

Bubonic Beach Party

Can you feel that beat
Moves like a pulse beneath our feet
And can we stand the heat
Or will this be stuck on repeat
Find our way to the shore
With everything that we’ve endured you know it’s
Nice to get some down-time
We’ll gladly stay in line
Newspeak entombs the potency
Words have exposing lunacy
Living with no intimacy
Plastic starts forming naturally
Believe freedom is slavery
At the Bubonic Beach Party oh no
What are we waiting for?
We can’t take much more
So let’s dance like it’s 1984
Puppet actors been trained to spit
Slander, smut, that’s good entertainment
Hey man lemme get a hit
Smoke stacked joints and processed shit
Inter-network to heal the exit wounds
Drink the tide under the moon
Until we hum a different tune
We’ll just have to accept our doom
Newspeak entombs the potency
Words have exposing lunacy
Living with no intimacy
Plastic starts forming naturally
Believe freedom is slavery
At the Bubonic Beach Party oh no
What are we waiting for?
We can’t take much more
So let’s dance like it’s 1984
Newspeak entombs the potency
Words have exposing lunacy
Living with no intimacy
Plastic starts forming naturally
Believe freedom is slavery
At the Bubonic Beach Party oh no
What are we waiting for?
We can’t take much more
So let’s dance like it’s 1984

A plastic queen
On a dead steed
Wrapped up
Like a shrouded fiend
She sits on lusts
And feeds off greed
Oh stare now
At this ashen queen
Down and down
We all fall down
Down and down
We all fall down
Down and down
We all fall down
Down and down
We all fall down
A celestial being brings me a beautiful synthetic mistress
I long for her but I’m scared of her
It all feels so familiar
To fall into her arms forever
She’s my sick mistress and makes me that way
She’s my pale empress I’ll call her baby
Down and down
We all fall down
Down and down
We all fall down
Down and down
We all fall down
Down and down
We all fall down
Down and down
We all fall down
Down and down
We all fall down
Down and down
We all fall down
Down and down
We all fall down

Infatuated Again
05:41

I’m not supposed to miss you yet
So please stop dancing through my mind
Distract me from responsibility so
We can grow used to this grind
It all feels like some sort of test
And seeing something that we’ll never find
Engross me in your ability to
Live between the lines
I’m so love sick
I’m over it
I can’t think
I can’t sleep
I just want it to quit
Obsessive checks
There’s nothing yet
Infatuated
‘Til we’re jaded
Just like we never met
The best days in my life slip by without a passing glance
Maybe fate was what brought us together
But these emotions will rip us apart
I can’t compete with a history that
Was there before our start
It’s so easy for me to sever
Any tie I hung on my heart
I won’t repeat this mystery there’s
No one else here to play your part
I’m so love sick
I’m over it
I can’t think
I can’t sleep
I just want it to quit
Obsessive checks
There’s nothing yet
Infatuated
‘Til we’re jaded
Just like we never met
The best thing in my life drips by still lost in her trance
I’m so love sick
I’m over it
I can’t think
I can’t sleep
I just want it to quit
Obsessive checks
There’s nothing yet
Infatuated
‘Til we’re jaded
Just like we never met
I’m so love sick
I’m over it
I can’t think
I can’t sleep
I just want it to quit
Obsessive checks
You know there’s nothing yet
Infatuated
‘Til we’re jaded
Just like we never met
Never met
It’s like we never met
Never met
It’s like we never met
Never met
It’s like we never met
Never met
We never should have met

Rat King

Digging through wet sand
Here’s where we’ll find our man
Gotta score some fresh Strychnyne
She says, “Hey, trust me I know a guy”
The air is thick with reek
Lingering death makes it hard to speak
Ahead the remedy
Get to watch you flirt with the enemy
There sits the Rat King
On his throne of feces
Crown of tails and he’s got yellow teeth
Under moonlight his crooked smile gleams
He can get you anything
I watch where his eyes land
“Hey, why don’t you get with a real man
I got everything you could ever need
Who do you think threw the party”
His pets move like waves
A sea of vermin fills his space
Undressing you once again
His familiar claws are your real best friend
Here sits the Rat King
On his throne of feces
Crown of tails and he’s got yellow teeth
Under moonlight his crooked smile gleams
He can get you anything
The Rat King he gets what he wants
“The Rat King he gets what he wants”
The Rat King he gets what he wants
“The Rat King he gets what he wants”
The Rat King he gets what he wants
“The Rat King he gets what he wants”
The Rat King he gets what he wants
“The Rat King he gets what he wants”
And now he wants you
“And now he wants me”

Behind the scenes
Not just listening
But thinking about life
Or lack thereof
It takes time
Says the clock
Made by man’s
Material love
Oh, like a drug
Thanks for all the empathy
Even if it seems
That I’m drowning
In my apathy
With our somber company
We could absolve all misery
No more lonely
If only
If only
There’s no such thing as a happy end
Because we’ve all got to die
Oceanian scream
No one’s been listening
Still living this life
With everyone blind and deaf
The media’s been calculating
What’s been proliferating
This is what to buy
A painless death
Oh, not yet
Thanks for all the empathy
Even if it seems
That I’m drowning
In my apathy
With our somber company
We could absolve all misery
No more lonely
If only
If only
Will this finally be my happy end
Because I’m not afraid to die
