A letter came today that said I must renew my cool. If I’m to keep my cred, the balance must be paid in full Must take a refresher course, prove myself to the board Show them that I still got my stuff and my strut is holding up Will I still be me if they take away my cool? Do I have to be cool again? Do I have to loop myself? Feels like we’ve been through this before keeps coming ‘round keeps coming ‘round Records I bought yesterday are no longer considered to be cool (unless someone else plays them) I even wrecked this beat with my silly lame ass croon Life is like a marathon, not doing laps, the same old ground Trends be coming ‘round and ‘round but what I seek has not been found Take my cred away I’ll survive without my cool Do I have to be cool again? Do I have to loop myself? Feels like we’ve been through this before keeps coming ‘round keeps coming ‘round Maybe I can’t give you what you want from me? You may never understand I will always be me. Free.

Let go of me and try and really listen You can’t scream to hold this out You’ve read about it It makes the world glisten Please ignore the skeptics doubt Keep thinking when it hits me Keep breathing when it hits me How will I know if I freak out? I just stepped into a dream eyes wide Reset what I once believed New life You’re out of it The dream is slipping from view You can’t run the voodoo down You’ve talked about it, but no one really listens Who can work these patterns out? Keep dreaming when it hits me Keep breathing when it hits me This time I know I won’t freak out I just stepped into a dream eyes wide Reset what I once believed New life If I could make it back to where I traced it could I change the way it’s meant to be? Or am I trapped in a linear enactment that I’m never able to repeat? We roll like dimensioneer’s tonight

slumber 04:32
I must admit it, I didn’t think you could fall as fast as this Pick your battles Don’t you know that gravity always wins? The lost and found contains the broken pieces of your rules Red paint stains last night’s rage that’s haunting you Feel the loneliness The bed you have made Your sleep is never slumber Your nightmare’s played out from the script you have written on the wall between us You kept on cutting division lines demanding we pick sides You couldn’t have me because you know my loyalty's not blind The hammer used to break him down was called monogamy A strangle hold to keep him close, but nothing you could preach Feel the loneliness The bed you have made Your sleep is never slumber Your nightmare’s played out from the script you have written on the wall between us There’s battle scars from disco now Full retreat and head hung down The less I know, the more I think that you got lost in the good times Nine waves broken on the shore The voice will surf the sounds no more You say you must fix broken wings, but you must walk before you fly

dream state 04:17
Dream state and altered awake is where I can pass the answers along Play games Crumbs in the maze Give no answers straight Riddles wrapped in the song Roam free from Earth rules and time In here we can fly ’til the daylight arrives When he wakes it’s seconds ‘til the pictures fade of the games of magic made at night Sometimes I warm the heart with memories so he will leave the dreaming with a smile Lately he won’t listen to me He’s not sleeping deep though he eyes often close Next state of dreams I will shake like thunder and quakes ’til my message is known When he wakes it’s seconds ‘til the pictures fade of the games of magic made at night Sometimes I warm the heart with memories, but tonight he’ll leave the dream from fright Dream state to be alive Home in the notes Silence beyond rapid eyes it what I fear the most Tonight I’ll bring the monsters out Don’t wake Don’t wake until I’ve talked to you
5.
neighbours 03:45
East of here is nowhere and West is not my home North is where the buzzards fly South to pick the bones Up is blocked by brain cells depleted from ill use Down is where the siren calls for me to be her muse Don’t waive to the neighbours Don’t glance or even smile Don’t waive to the neighbours They always try to pry Don’t talk to the neighbours about our escape plans Don’t waive to the neighbours They’ll catch me if they can Just keep the windows blackened from cold and judging eyes They’re keeping notes and making calls It’s not safe outside Just sing me silly phrases to calm my twitching nerves Tonight at dusk we venture out with pockets full of dirt Don’t waive to the neighbours Don’t glance or even smile Don’t waive to the neighbours They always try to pry Don’t talk to the neighbours about our escape plans Don’t waive to the neighbours They are listening through the walls Now they’ve heard this song they know that I’m a freak I’m hiding from the outside ‘cause the inside sets me free Let’s huddle by the fire of the floor boards we’ve torn up Let’s toss a coin to decide if we’ve dug deep enough Escape from the neighbours and counteract their plans Escape from the neighbours and gain the upper the hand Escape from the neighbours We’ll make sure that we win Escape from the neighbours I’m so over this

He can’t colour the sounds that she’s making ‘cause her words are grey and they carry no weight He gives her pencils and colours to make sense of a world that’s grey He’s got so much to say Letter’s scribed from the underside, but she won’t read them before all the ink fades away It doesn’t help that she’s colour blind on his synesthesia days Though he gave her colours she still coloured all their world in light grey He gave her rainbows but she couldn’t see the spectrum he made Purple, indigo and blue and green and blackened dark red Are the colours of the words she wishes no one had said His lips will turn to blue before she before she utters any words that may have more colour than grey She builds a castle in the sky to hide from all the colours that may drain her delusion away Curtains drawn and the sun is blocked to keep forgiving at bay and her karma all paid No one hears the light that makes the sounds when the night blocks out the day Sometimes feelings aren’t in black and white Though he gave her colours she still coloured all their world in light grey He gave her rainbows but she couldn’t see the spectrum he made Purple, indigo and blue and green and blackened dark red Are the colours of the words she wishes no one had said She shaded all their world in grey Can’t see the spectrum that he made

Well I don’t don’t see you ‘cause I don’t need you I’ve build a world of wonder here inside Behind my eye lids the world is growing, but on the outside things aren’t so sublime You think I’m fading, but I’m creating the perfect place for me to run and hide This song can’t exist at all It isn’t real, I made it up But it’s where I’ve been spending all my time If I tire of my reality I’ll bend the map to make it fit a reality that better suits my style This is a movie about the cartoon, based on the book that you are yet to read If you’re distracted by my abstraction then you will never feel what I believe Maybe I’m lost here, but yet I don’t fear ‘cause my imagination is all I need This song can’t exist at all It isn’t real, I made it up But it’s where I’ve been spending all my time If I tire of my reality I’ll bend the map to make it fit a reality that better suits my style They used to tell us that the world was big in size and every path in front of us was our choice to decide Soon the paths grow over with weeds of wicked doubt Trap imagination in a maze with no way out Who is really in control? Maybe I’m not real at all, I don’t exist, you made me up and your the one who really wrote this song? A simulated universe where every move you’ve programmed first Reality you really kill the vibe

black holes 02:44
It’s been a while since I thought my reality was skewed A pantonic harmony soundtracked my trouble mood If I’m not real and I don’t feel this plane isn’t one of a few I’d be lying as I’ve seen sides that are usually hidden from view Black holes I fall into black holes Once upon a measurement that quantifies rates of change, a hole opened in my life where no light could escape Well, I don’t know that I’m not sure that I’m seeing illusions of you My mind’s trying to defy where this black space is pulling me to Black holes I fall into black holes I’ve been spying on myself Behind the fabric there’s more of me No warning I keep falling into black holes

Something isn’t right Your eyes are only slightly telling me the signs that your mood is in disguise The circuit may be closed, or has has your dark mind blown a note across the room that’s diminished words to few No, no it don’t feel so right I can’t read all of your signals tonight Something isn’t right Your gaze has locked my eyes in a room without a view of what your lips would do They’re zipped and done up tight Protects me from the sight of the men reduced to fools who didn’t read you rules No, no it don’t feel so right I can’t read all of your signals tonight Why are you smiling yet baring your claws? Howling and barking prevents my applause Is it your signals or is it my head? I can’t tell you where my scared thoughts have led It’s your birthday, but for me it’s a bad day I’m leaving the party without saying goodbye Tomorrow’s a new day without all the gameplay There’s blood on your cheek and it is freaking me out Better on my own Safer on my own Alone it’s always right 1 21 20 9 19 13
