Before we leave this earth Don’t forget to grab your phone and wallet The film is starting soon And you can’t stop it It opens on a hustle institution Going back before the Industrial Revolution Two brothers in suspenders And a feud of mustache size 200 years later People still are taking sides See the landscape change as we ride by Grandkids on a train pull guns And nobody knows why Their offspring loved their partners in the wars But they also loved some others And they made their children whores See the planet quiver as the oceans start to heat See yourself in the theater sitting in your theater seat The person you hate most is also there You see them give a smile As they walk past your chair Suddenly, the movie ends We change spiritually The future runs like credits Very few will stay to see We see the walls get real again We go home to our habits The future will be just like now With better phones and tablets We see the Spirit grieving We watch her shed a tear For the slavery of the future Is only volunteer She tries to summit hills of skulls We watch them try to eat her We realize the film never ends And we’re still in the theater We watch a great unraveling Human history as a fraud The director takes a moment to thank Mickey Mouse and God Wishing to go home again To take our eyes off the screen A little box appears and pulls us in The final scene And on the other side A stranger throws you a grenade You pull the pin and throw it back But you’ve forgotten how to hate! You are in a spaceship that transcends Time and Space The stranger blows up with the hull And sends you on your way Falling back to Earth You see the angels fall beside And the world is full of monsters And there is nowhere left to hide

Catatonia 03:51

Work a dead job for the golden Drive in silence on the ride home Be the mirror to the hopeless I don’t know if I can go on I don’t want real I want something else And I lie to you As a preservative for my health And I don’t think I can go any further I overload servers I choke down my own words Hiding is iconic Chronic pain wash over ya Back to catatonic Back to Catatonia Allison Foley diet The quiet never visits me But I will never try it Failure guided therapy I don’t want real I want something else And I lie to you As a preservative for my health And I don’t think I can go any further I choke down my own words I overload servers Think of me while you're full of love While you’re out on the town having fun I’ll be in my dirty apartment Feeling exhausted, affection not wanted I see me lying down in the haze full of drugs Back to catatonic Melancholic infancy Normal is a product I shoplift so you’ll sanction me I’m a broken promise Fearfully and wonderfully Created incorrectly I’m Jacob in the Israeli I’m back to catatonic Back to Catatonia Allison Foley diet The quiet never visits me But I will never try it Failure guided therapy I’m back to catatonic

I don’t get jealous Thats my toxic trait If they can do it I can do it I just celebrate ‘um Put my mind to a thing And then concentrate Manifesting they be stressin’ To an early grave I aint even at my peak This just early days Throw this song on Every single curve we shave We came to kill it (brap-brap) Raise the murder rate In the states I get the green Like Kermit’s face I’m back in London Moving at a sturdy pace Rewind to the part I said: “We came to kill it” Brap brap send ya to the pearly gates Set the beat on fire I burn the bass School of the hard knocks Had to earn the “A’s” Off to seek my fortune Return da crates The word of mouth Working out Now I work with greats Yummy mommies to the front Goin: “Twerk them cakes!” I eat a hater A pecan, nah I got a burger taste Worker bee struggle To give up their worker ways The trackies, the kicks, and the shirt is grey I’m the Lord of the Manor I’m the Earl of great Greatest I need to be the greatest I need to be the great great I need to be the greatest I need to be I don't need to be the greatest I need to be the greatest No need to be the greatest, no I don’t get jealous They do though I be with the fellas Playing Cluedo Pockets be on Jupiter Lez be on Pluto Come a long way from The valley brand noodles Pops looking down from heaven Giving me kudos Fly, I be in the sky With the Rudolphs Cryptos, rip clothes Was a pomp-anon rocking king clothes Make the bed rock Like the Flintstones If ya about to get it Its your theme song Ahead of my time George Jetson Scorched essence Aura of an alien from Mercury It just occurred to me You probably aint heard of me But we can change that Join me On the surgery Get your scrubs on State of emergency Defibrillators bring the game back to life Neck from the Persian Queen So fresh I’m detergent clean The studio is like a church to me I got a groupie in the booth I pull it out until I’m worshipping She like certainly Having the time of her life Yeah, it hurts to leave But I got places that I need to be The flow beyond Hercules Left Paris to go wine tasting in Burgundy

I’m getting all the way out of here Up from the valleys I’ve crossed before ‘Cause you cats are not in my stratosphere And I’ll see you around on the cutting room floor ‘Cause some of the time I’m faking Some of the time I try to play the part: A fool who loves Just everyone Like I am the righteous one I’m getting all the way out of here Bye to the things that I used to know Sorry, this is a dumpster fire And I’m transplanting me to where people grow Some of the time I’m faking Some of the time I try to play the part: A fool who loves Just everyone Like I am the righteous one

The real world is the fake one I am Murex violet The singular void Before inflatons We’re about to have our Hottest month on Your entitled earth You needy being How can’t you see In your labyrinths of wisdom I don’t even believe in me? I’m what Ali Was whispering To Tyson about how The Easton Assassin Could be beat Most good people Who could have existed Probably didn’t So introducing: The only shark from the womb! And I’m bringing back Neanderthals Make ‘um great again Play the femur flute From the caveman walls I’m a giant problem The Count of St. Germain Outside your citations You are all insane Don’t paint me pixels For some seeds fell on weeds There are many pigments That can’t be RGB’d You needy being How can’t you see In your labyrinths of wisdom I don’t even believe in me? I’m what Ali Was whispering To Tyson about how The Easton Assassin Could be beat I’m controlled disorder I’m two years of dark I’m the milk of Muslims I’m the Christian shark My heart is the Wallace Line We should be apart I’m am Newton’s Cradle Flipping life the bird I went off the deep end With Scout’s Honor Have you heard? Remembering that small kid Everybody shushed It is from grace he’s falling But I’m thinking that He was pushed

The Beleaguered Ram 02:20
lyrics
God, I’ve really hated Doing my soul-searching lately For every quandary It feels like hand washing My laundry In a Barnes & Nobel With nobody While my most personal info Is sold online Then back to me If you gave me a name Its insubordination And I’m not gonna answer And don’t expect a call From the trailhead of Mt. Moriah Or the rams horn in the Kaaba I am insubordination Removing coins from Caesar I’m chiseling on silver Defacing all my values then Throw them in a river of spite The diaper genie Of old traumas Lets lay him down With forever chemicals Like landfill Seneca And trash Nero God why does this ethical theory And practical living coexist so goddamn interdependently?
