Time, come back to me I wonder what’s on I’m going to go flip through the channels Figure out what I’ve been missing these last 6 hours of being alive, not even being awake Something about my anxiety, this anxiety: Where have I seen that before, what life am I not having? I can’t feel my legs. I can’t feel my self What future isn’t to behold? What present am I missing out on right this day right this now? Maybe I should buy this and I’ll be happy, I’ll be alive if I just eat this smiling meal This meal that’s smiling right back at me Why's my meal smiling at me? We’re getting closer every day We’re holding closer every day We’ve lost our sober every day Releasing holster every day Moving closer every day Kill our cynosure every day Every day Ridiculous composure every day Breaking every day We’re breaking every day We’re feeding our collapse Every day Wait Wait Hold on Wait No! Wait, time Wait, time We get it in, we get it, turn it off We got to get it, grab it, right up the tide Gotta go write it off It’s kind of finicky We turn it in, or turn it off You get that? That’s kinda how we lose it in The rest of the stuff We’re buying on a Saturday We’ve had enough We’re turning it off, we’re turning it off, we’re turning it off We turn in Our graves

Get it all It all will But you thought you loved it then Should’ve known your love would end You’ve gotta know so now you know You oughta know and now you know You’ve got enough but now you don't You’ve had enough and now you know, today Create We get enough Then get it away You know you get enough Then get it away What you sell, too We sate Get enough And to our dismay Time to get more stuff Lead quite astray What we say Forget and grow Not the same tonight We’ve got to find the next best thing and we’ll let you know where to sell your soul next What we get now will redefine The fee we pay is humankind The glee we find without remind They call us we, the undersigned We get enough and we multiply ourselves our insecurities and let our vulnerabilities Our psychologies undermine, destroy in time This sphere, we bleed for wealth, that gave us the self That we left behind in in our mind That we left behind in our soul Thrown out with the rest, nothing at best, when all these things That we give away, the next day That we know we don’t care about anymore Come out from hiding A shell of what once was, floats lifeless in an aquatic tundra of empty profits A wasteland we stomach on behalf of those who stomach our garbage plastic treasure We can only see own, not what we have to do These are all the things we can be I tell you again You won’t ever get another thing Surrender plastic lives, live without your treasure Let’s forget about everyone in the future Let’s forget about everyone in the now and take our chances All we’ve owned, will come back What we’ve sown, will impact All we’ve thrown, will throw back What we’ve grown, will collapse Our tombstones, will redact What we know, will fall back But before we go, we go Before we take life Before we have another buy We’ll grow if we go into our minds, all alone Just so you know, we glow, we glow So it’s unfortunate we profitize our selves to become such less You know, we know, how to save ourselves and this world that we’re attached to (By the genome By the genome By the genome By the genome By the genome We are the genome The genome is us) Still we go, we go, we suck the life life out of it all We go, we go on shopping sprees contributing to an island that we’ll never set foot on And what we know, we know, means nothing but the fact that we’re just pure garbage We grow, we grow, but by the time we all understand this, there'll be no we anymore

Sky Hole 04:19
Daunting's the way we are Fighting the day we know Haunting until we die In death, we will never reach t he sky, no The sky hole Wanting some piece of my Head, yeah, but not my mind I have nothing to do with you That nothing into my eyehole The sky hole

By the time we’ve done it By the time we’d seen it through We all wonder if this was all worth it Or were we maybe just wasted Invasive injection in the absence of light With no switch no bulb no heeding or no guiding knight Oh why don’t we file this under victory Chop shop, sell it for pieces I know, we can pretend it's worth more together than broken And we don’t let up and or let it go We don’t get out of bed for others I don’t get this and I just never will I just never will Just one path, there’s only this one road Bothered by pride, problems in the code When we wake up, we’ll forget what we did on the road What do you know The car drives just fine without the radio Either we fix this or we don't Bring out the bounty, we’ve fallen into the same ditch too many times and we’ve run out of gas So it’s time the car was sold The metaphor’s gone stale now, we’ll get a new one The sun, it burns through my sunglasses Retinas, suffering consequence Useless, I throw them into the dirt While piloting toward the sun Berate catacombs Beating a dead horse until it takes us to our unspecified goal Little did we know it was on it’s own path In our minds we devise meaning and the soul Constructing everyday Until, we shut down, close the blinds, set it all on fire When we got up out of bed that morning We kept adding bricks to the wall that we built all our lives Shutting it down, closing the blinds, setting it up, setting it all on fire In the end we go in, and we don’t come out We climb Wake up, I was told we would wake up, we’ll pick up We’ll get up, we’ll get up in this other world We’re going to wake up, yeah we’re going to wake up We’ve gotta wake up, we have to wake up Or we’ll keep climbing these walls that we’ve built all our lives Step down, you’ve gotta recalibrate yourself Skip town, there’s nothing left for you here But a letdown, the great letdown You heard it in your head Shut down, a great letdown It’s not what they once said

Karuna 12:17
I open my eyes, And my senses all take a breath now. How did I end up here? Walking all through this place I know, this wasn’t always so, Others unlike me here, magnanimous they endear, I fear, they’re in danger. Don’t worry about us, we’ll be fine. You’ve been through a lot, let us take care of you, this time. You know, you’ll know, I know where you will go, Come and transition. We’ll hold, hold our spaecies’ as one. Come to fruition. We’d thank you, thank you, but we don’t know what that means We’ll stay here, stay here, in this world. Karuna, a moon we’ll be living on. We sit with empty plates, We lost the shipment out in space, We have to find that giant, We have to go back and retrace Ay, stepped in my head, I’m awake, standing, my ear upward Away somewhere, up and out there, I fear... [If they come for you we’ll protect] We’re getting all the meat we’ve lost We know that it’s a moon they’re on, [you, if they come for you we'll pro-] We found the moon we’ve never wrong, Gas giant and it’s double star, [-tect you if they come for you] There might be life there moon upon, We’ll take and consume them all, [We'll protect you if they come for you] Resources? We’ll seize a haul! [We'll protect you] We’re leaving, prepare for war. [If they come for you] We make them, we’ll break them, We’ll dine on them. There’s no one there to counter attack. You can’t run, no, you cannot hide, There’s no escape when we’re in flight With god we’ll get there, that meat is ours, It is His will, it is our damn right! They’re here! Go! We can see them now, Feed! I found them! Bulwark mayhem, The sky protect them [Blocked they be] From ship entry [From entry] War, you will get [War, they bring, arm] Aim the weapon [Our safety] Fire! We’ll kill them all, If we can’t have them... But that was long ago, my friend. The humans have long been gone, since then. Their genes we hold deep inside That day, none of the humans died but became Sanctuarians On Karuna, thanks to Karuna. And time goes on...

Have you thought about this at all? Wondered whether you, or all this life you’ve lived could have really happened From moment one we each rode the cyclone in
: “This is every all, 
Take a swim”

 Everything is wrong 
Everything is wrong
 When everything is wrong Everything is wrong Cause everything is wrong Yes everything is wrong Everything is wrong

 Harder than before you go today
 Listen to the panic Of this world, the way they want you to be 

This is who you are, so take a swing Everything is wrong While everything is wrong And everything is wrong But everything is wrong Since everything is wrong Everything is wrong Everything is wrong 

Don’t bring yourself, they tell you
Right yourself, wear the uniform.


 The brokenness inside you
 Your brokenness it makes you 
 In life we fragmentize, the whole you is just the broken behind your faded eyes, so live like

 Everything is wrong
 Everything is wrong If everything is wrong Then everything is wrong So everything is wrong Let everything be wrong Everything is wrong

I’m locked in this basement, of lies But it’s such a nice basement, I’m fine I kind of like it here... It’s not as cold as outside, but it can be colder I can go anywhere I want, as long as I’m inside I can get anything I need, as long as I’m in hiding I can get anything I want Every day is my own I can get anything I need Every day I’m alone I can be anyone I want, as long as I’m inside I can have all the friends I need, as long as I’m away And I’ll find a way out I’ll find a way out (And I’ll find my way back) No end in sight, it won’t end won’t end won’t You know that something is wrong You know, you know, you know You’re buying into the lie You know your captor feeds you, saves you, drives you, loves you, is you Go! Why do you feel like you have to get out of here? Why do you feel like you have to get out of here? Why do you feel like you have to get out of here? Why do you feel like you have to get out of here? Why do you feel like you have to get out of here? Why do you feel like you have to get out of here? Why do you have to feel? Get out of here, get out of here Why do you have to feel? Why do you have to feel? Why do you have to get out of here? Why do you have to feel? Get out, get out, get out! I’ll find a way out I’ll find a way out (And I’ll crawl my way back) How do we live our lives without sacrifice? Symbiotic parasites: This brain is not our friend I’m tired, it wants reward: Blatant disregard for it’s own life Why hold it’s armies back? it always ends up crushing the mind We’ve got to, we’ve got to get it, we're out of time We have to, we have no choice here without the catalyst How about it - you and me How will we create? How will we do it? You’ve just gotta to do this one thing Never mind the tired You don’t want to be left in the dust, in the dirt If we don’t get this done It will never see the light of day, it’s day of light We have to keep ourselves locked up, in line Soldier, just stand down

Say my name I am the danger, I Am the one Who knocks. You’re An insane Degenerate Piece of filth And you deserve to die Say my name And you deserve to die I am the danger And you deserve to die I am the one who knocks And you deserve to die Tread lightly

I think humanity is holding us down This grandiose concept that we, we are more An unintelligibly recognized sound What have we done? What do we have to show for This unconscious crowd Of filthy, unorganized, soulless machines That we call human Maybe in another life and song We'll live the dream and we'll dream of utopia We'll live in peace and we'll know when we are wrong We'll leave the seas and the trees and get along If we look outside right now, a we gaze into the great beyond Maybe there's a better world A hope of peace in a magical photon, yeah A world corrective and inhuman That's better than what we're doing now [Let's work on what we've got now] Wreck a home just to make our own bigger Plow over trees just to get from A to Z Dying souls, diamond blood, lions out in Zion hunt Crooked cops, stolen glocks, picket signs are rising up Art of war for a carnivore, feeding off the primest cut While clocks tick, we are all sick Killing time till time is up Comforting is what we're used to Gagged with a white flag, knife to the left wrist Chains on the right leg, peace comes with a price tag Got an iPhone in an iBag, while bullets fly out in Iraq A crucifix sits on my lap, but there ain't no god where I'm at Hold on, we're all doomed here from the outside We have to, we have to Run away, don't look back now, from our humanity We have to, we have to learn My friends The others on Earth have become Abel, and we are Cain This planet continues to crumble under our inane There's good in the humans? Sure! But it's not enough to balance the pain The animals live for life and we live in strife over no particular domain Who are really the animals now? Despite all the rage, yeah We're just rats in a cage, yeah Humanity's dead, sanity lives in canopy graves, yeah Amityville's now Latter Day Saints, yeah Priest is the beast, bible's a gun, pulled on a nun while insanity sprays Shots at the Mandalay, pepper spray out in Ferguson Fire starters and riot marchers, the cops are the murderers Waving government issued pistols while missiles and bombs drop [Blowin' shit up!] Sheep being led to the onslaught [We are really the animals now] Run the world? Yeah we'll run it and ourselves into the ground On the outside We have to, we have to Learn a way to protect us And not just ourselves We have to, or we will burn It's time we all look at ourselves Time to take this pill Pretend it's alive Feed that thrill, to kill and swallow it whole We are complacency, the destructor's whore Complicit, we are feigning something resembling a soul A cancer slaying it's host by consuming it's coal This is what the humans have done [Dying souls, diamond blood Feeding off the primest cut] Assume we are all responsible [We're all sick, we're all sick] Ruin the world [Time is up] Yeah, we're nothing but pests consuming everything [Our clocks tick, we're all sick] We are, but [Time is up] We have to [Dying souls] We can beat [Time is up] Humanity
