The Goo

I’ve been living in the goo
Primordial me single cell organism you
But do you want to crawl out with me?
She said how long till we grow feet?
How long before your Y chromosome is in my reach?
She said these little green tails feel like blasphemy
Do you want to crawl out with me?
From the cradle of life
The cradle of disease
I found my spirit in the germs
In the symmetry
Do you want to crawl out with me?
When you were living in the goo
Did you worship anaerobic forms of life
Who died to save you?
Did you villainize the early fish with jaws
That could have ate you?
Did you sneak your mysticism in my mystery?
Do you want to crawl out with me?
From the cradle of life
The cradle of disease
I found my spirit in the germs
In the symmetry
Do you want to crawl out with me?
But in the goo
I am the missing link
I creep around and do exactly what you would think
In the goo God threw everything but the kitchen sink
I’ve been living in the goo
One more day till paradise I really can’t wait to meet you
One more day till paradise I really can’t wait to meet you

Purity of land purity of pasture
Living off the land living off the master
When she runs naked through the garden
We squeeze the lemons faster
There’s a button in the garden
but we’re not supposed to press it
That’s the only rule but he really had to stress it
He doesn’t believe in second chances
Cuz then how would we learn our lesson?
And I said free me
And I said free me
Cuz I don’t want to be here anymore
We should test his boundary tonight
Like a million grains of sand – we will multiply faster
It only takes two to cause a disaster
But we didn’t toil in his garden
And it never made our back hurt
In the cool of the evening, he’s as stoic as a castle
But what’s inside his walls - Is knowing it a hassle?
And all his talking animals they’re starting to act like bastards
Yeah, they’re starting to act like bastards
Then I said free me
Then I said free me
Cuz I don’t want to be here anymore
We should test his boundary tonight
Our last night in paradise
All we did was monkey around
Then she got her hands on the contraband
And you better believe we passed that shit around

The Unicorn Dance
03:56
|

|
With all this pain in childbirth
It kinda sucks Eve has to populate the whole damn earth
Was the knowledge what it’s worth?
If we abstain to procreate
Can we alleviate the curse?
But she loves me like
I’m the only man on earth
Let us back into your paradise
Right now
I’m serious
I’m not messing around
Let us back into your paradise
Right now
I’m serious
I’m not messing around
I’ve got a fire inside
I’ve got fifty pounds on you
You better walk a dinosaur at night
But I love you like you’re my OG wife
And all of my flaws
They reveal my sabretooth claws
But the way you look in those
Iguanodon pants
Makes me want to do the backwards
And prehistoric unicorn dance
Let us back into your paradise
Right now
I’m serious
I’m not messing around
Let us back into your paradise
Right now
I’m serious
I’m not messing around
With all this pain in childbirth
It kinda sucks she has to populate the whole damn earth
But the real thing that she cleaves
It’s hidden under her riveter sleeves
But the way that she looks atop the
Battlefield heap
Makes You want to do the backwards
And sacrificial murder of sheep
Let us back into your paradise
Right now
I’m serious
I’m not messing around
Let us back into your paradise
Right now
I’m serious
I’m not messing around

Serpentine Steps

I think You cornered the market
Of you reap what you sow
You’ve got my headshot in your locket
I’m acting out the devil that You know
Gatekeeping forever
Was the real beast at the fall
The option of failure
Why the hell did it exist at all?
I think I found my redeemer
He was living on the bottom of my shoes
Be my televangelist deceiver
And I’ll be your bloody right to choose
Why was it worth Your wager
To let Your own angels fall?
The option of failure
Why the hell did it exist at all?
Walking down the serpentine steps
Darwin was there on vacation
He said that life was such a flash in the pan
There is no sin that could warrant eternal damnation

Name Your Own Animals

Wash my mouth with soap
If you don’t like the words your gonna hear
Then shower me with redemptive hope
Or belt me full of godly fear
But I’ve got a secret and it’s something unbearable
I can’t cover it up with anything wearable
His forbidden fruit – it tasted terrible
I really wish He would name His own wild animals
Name His own wild animals
So, I went down in a hole
He could not see me live down there
And all my silence turned to gold
And I played 4’33’’ on the gilded harp
But He could not hear it
But I’ve got a secret and it’s something unbearable
I can’t cover it up with anything wearable
His forbidden fruit – it tasted terrible
I really wish He would name His own wild animals
I wish He would name His own wild animals
But He wouldn’t believe me
Even if I wasn’t lying
He said seventy years then
The hero starts dying
He wouldn’t believe me
Even if I wasn’t lying
Because I waited so long
To tell him what I had done
I’ll spill my guts at the optimal moment
When He triggers his trumpets and drums
But the perfect moment never comes
I went down in a hole
He could not see me live down there

Possession

Belong to me
Even far across the ocean
I expect you to
Belong to me
I’ll cast your pigs into the harbor
Just to make you believe
That all the roads we walked
In the way the people talked
In the things these people said
Grew a lie that was
Possessed by you and I
Belong to me
I’ll burn my name into Your forests
Till Your animals leave
Believe you me
The apple didn’t fall too far
From the knowledge tree
That all the roads we walked
In the way the people talked
In the things these people said
Grew a lie that was
Possessed by you and I
Belong to me
Who did seven fallen angels
Form a legion with
Is it what it seems?
Believe you me
When they weren’t allowed to frolic anymore
Then they moved into your dreams

Amygdala
03:22

Your fallen people
Keep on crawling back to where it starts
On Your shoots and Your ladders
Backsliding to the tricky part
Till they’re backsliding to the tricky part
Turning to the tonic
Canine to the vomit
Here comes the Dogcatcher
To impound me with a comet
You can’t stop all of us
From running with the reptile parts of us
My fight or flight is dangerous
Maybe we should have a mind to
Let us pilot us for good
I really think we should
I lost my sweet amygdala
On a coldblooded winter’s night
I was licking the electrical outlet
That’s when I finally saw the light
That’s when I finally saw the light
Donkey in a garment
It bites if you alarm it
Riding through the city
Reddit-ready and You’re
Dying for my karma
You can’t stop all of us
From running with the reptile parts of us
My fight or flight is dangerous
Maybe we should have a mind to
Let us pilot us for good
I really think we should
You can’t stop all of us
From running with the reptile parts of us

Last Resort

Alien race in the darkness of space
do you copy?
I am alone
Living under her dome
Pretty sloppy
I drain my pipes into her oceans
I wanna drill in her ocean floor
I stay in her last resort often
But it’s not safe to swim there anymore
She says I’m not like the other animals
She says I’m full of it
Spittle breath and clay
But there’s little left to say anymore
When my dust returns to dust in the summer heat
If no savior comes to sweep me off my feet
And she has to vacuum me off the floor
Then sprinkle me upon the water
Cradle of life
The binary wife with the long hair
Am I alone with my animal bones
and my loincloth tear?
She’s high on the life she has chosen
But she can’t touch cocaine anymore
If you ask her nicely, she will raise your children
But she won’t interfere when they wanna go to war
She says I’m not like the other animals
She says I’m full of it
Spittle breath and clay
But there’s little left to say anymore
When my dust returns to dust in the summer heat
If no savior comes to sweep me off my feet
And she has to vacuum me off the floor
Then sprinkle me upon the water
Alien race in the darkness of space
Can you hear us when we cry out?
Cause she got all stormy
She was trying to warn me
All my vegetables dried out
She says her poles are no longer frozen
She wants me to meet her at the shore
She said that her soul is no longer frozen
But she won’t call me master anymore
But she won’t call me master anymore

Dry Remains

We took the path
To where the garden used to be
But there wasn’t even one
Green palm tree left to see
We had to hold the children
They were frightened by the sight
Cause there were no green fields to play in
Just sand dunes in waves of white
We found old Uriel, who was charged
To guard the gate
He stood and lay his sword down
And he told us:
“Hey man, you’re too late”
Cause I just heard a fallen angel
And your daughter just gave birth
And now there’s angel DNA
mixed in with the children of earth
He stretched out his wings
And looked to the heavens above
He said “I came down here to soldier,
I don’t really want to fall in love.”
As he lifted off the ground,
I heard him worship the one
He went to be with
And the wind beneath his wings
Uncovered the bones of a behemoth

Cleaver

She took the boat out on the lake
She didn’t ask permission
She was hoping to catch a break
It turned out to be a giant mistake
Running out of fuel seven miles away
She said I promise I will never love again
I promise I can never manage more than a friend
And cleave for no one untill the bitter end
But I say wait
Wait a little longer
Wait a little longer
She said she jumped of her own roof
With a giant umbrella
To prove she’d finally let loose
Then she lit one up to smoke out the blues
We were all in church
She was driving ninety without shoes
She said I promise I will never love again
I promise I can never manage more than a friend
And cleave for no one untill the bitter end
But I say wait… wait
Wait a little longer
Wait a little longer
Promise me you’ll never love again
Promise me you’ll always be
Much more than a friend
And I’ll meet you at the very end
And I will wait a little longer
I will wait a little longer
And I will wait a little longer
