Apocalypse, Now!

tide come to swallow us all tonight
great big bomb nestled in a satellite
great noise wall puts a gun to the head
and we don’t got a chance cause we’re already dead
and we don’t got a chance cause we’re already dead
air goes grey and we’re struggling to breathe
sweat comes pouring as we beg for a breeze
the marble heats up and we’re told to stand down
and the great big crowd cries “Apocalypse now!”
the great big crowd cries "Apocalypse now!"
the great big crowd cries "Apocalypse now!"
the great big crowd cries "Apocalypse now!"
the great big crowd cries "Apocalypse now!"
the great big crowd cries "Apocalypse now!"
the great big crowd cries "Apocalypse now!"

Mind Control
03:00
|
|

those supposed crash burns look chemical
that crocodile smile feels painted on
machine-crafted image of a sale with a soul
illicit, explicit, but it's mind control
shout "fuck police" but turn witness in the hole
with the wacky wild hair color chosen by a poll
another cheap high for the culture patrol
hollow, shallow, mind control
it feels like rebelling, but it's not the real thing
it feels like rebelling, but it's not the real thing
it feels like rebelling, but it's not the real thing
it feels like rebelling, but it's not the real thing
I KNOW, IT FEELS LIKE REBELLION
WOULD YOU BELIEVE ME IF I SAID IT'S NOT?
I KNOW, IT FEELS LIKE REBELLION
WOULD YOU BELIEVE ME IF I SAID IT'S NOT?

Caveman
01:20
|
|

modern mind is far from ancient
this one raised from the current pavement
but you can’t escape where we were nascent
why did we forsake the caveman?
why did we forsake the caveman?
why did we forsake the caveman?
why did we forsake the caveman?
why did we forsake the caveman?
great loud scream to a mic and speakers
passed from treetop grip to sneakers
came so far from tribal teachers
just to turn our past into a cartoon creature
just to turn our past into a cartoon creature
just to turn our past into a cartoon creature
just to turn our past into a halloween creature
just to turn our past into a halloween creature
(fuck)

Life Aquatic

i don’t know how we got like this
maybe my red cap was pulled too tight
first mate got swallowed whole
swimming in the bone-chill cold of night
i’m just here to make my movie
i’m not here to make things right
i’m sorry that you looked up to me
but hey, welcome to real life
so what did you think of part one?
you felt it seemed slightly fake?
well i think you’re a fake
i think you’re replaceable and expendable
so i don’t care what you think
ok i might care what you think
ok i do care what you think
and i’ll admit, some nights, i want this boat to sink

Manic Energy
03:43

im filled with all this useless
manic energy
my head's an engine that seems
to run without the keys
there is a lightning bolt
that pulses through my spine
cursed to feel as though
im always wasting time
im wasting
time
time
time
time
time
time
time
time
im wasting, im wasting
im wasting, im wasting
im wasting, im wasting
im wasting, im wasting
im wasting, im wasting
im wasting, im wasting
im wasting, im wasting
im wasting my time
im charged with so much pointless
manic energy
i sit around all day
and wait for an epiphany
it never comes
and i resign unto the void
guess i fucked it up for myself
now im forever paranoid
oh what’s the use?
time
time
time
time
time
time
time
time
im wasting, im wasting
im wasting, im wasting
im wasting, im wasting
im wasting, im wasting
im wasting, im wasting
im wasting, im wasting
im wasting, im wasting
im wasting my time

black snake, crawling up my leg
black snake, crawling up my leg
black snake, crawling up my leg
black snake, crawling up my leg
black snake, crawling up my leg
black snake, crawling up my leg
black snake, crawling up my leg
black snake, crawling up my leg
void, take me
with you softly
please
don't take me slow

Freaks
02:03
|
|
||
|
don't kill me
just help me run away
from everyone
i need a place to stay
where i can
cover up my face
don't cry
i am just a freak
i am just a freak
i am just a freak
i am just a freak
my head
is filled with parasites
black holes
cover up my eyes
i dream of you
almost every night
and hopefully
i won't wake up this time
i won't wake up this time
i won't wake up this time
i am just a freak
