Good Thoughts I think there’s been a misunderstanding This is not a hobby I’m compelled to make this stuff Relate to world sonically Through tone touch and timbre And it sounds like this If you’re bamboozled Totally mystified Put good thoughts on repeat If you’re bamboozled Totally mystified Put good thoughts on repeat Good thoughts will come Good thoughts will come If you’re bamboozled Totally mystified Put good thoughts on repeat If you’re bamboozled Totally mystified Put good thoughts on repeat Good thoughts will come Good thoughts will come

Shifting Maze So you will need a coping strategy To deflate people who suck on your energy Dodge those who impose their negativity People who seem to need to spread toxicity Appear to thrive to undermine Need to corrupt and waste your time They will push your buttons to manipulate Get you second guessing yourself Hum and har over your words Convince you that you’re not right in the mind It’s frightening Gaslighting Don’t mean to sound like a self-help video But it’s important that we all know Make it clear precisely where you begin Mark exactly where others end You can’t bend to emptiness Fill a hollow ego They will just try to fuck with your empathy Best to to build a wall far from their influence Such vindictive cruelty Don’t go in their shifting maze Reflection Projection Deception Now I see Through to your psyche Translucent and it’s icy As you slide from nice to nasty Can’t be your mirror There’s too many shivers Time is of short supply So stop your chip chip chip And your drip drip drip And the click click click It’s just background noise It’s just background noise It’s just background noise ....

Brain 03:33
Brain will you wake up? My body feels stuck I’m kinda all confused at my situation This feels like a film The light is right the lines correct Orchestra set to swell as we pan from the left The eye is the lens in your skull Brain problem solve this please Now is not the time to freeze I need some insightful information Brain won’t you wake up? My body feels stuck I’m kinda all confused Brain imagine me a room Where I can lay down Work out all the possible solutions The image is real the street complex Consumers lose their chance Their times been sold Rush don’t meander to the end of the day What’s around the corner? Who’s gone round the bend? Here comes another brain Brain sharpen up my mind Clear the fuzziness Where is all the in-depth pinpoint precision? Brain what do you call this? It’s got to have a name Have you heard of such thing as total recall Brain try to navigate Before it’s far too late Steer us through the multiple deceptions Brain time to be inspired Forget that you are tired Got to try and make something out of nothing

Think For Real You won’t dance, you won’t dance You won’t dance to this no you won’t dance You won’t dance to this You won’t dance to this no you won’t dance You won’t dance to this Who’s the enemy? Seems that something’s got to be Where’s the real emergency? Who’s the enemy? I think it’s disease Hunger and the elements and misdirected fear They don’t want you to think for real They don’t want you to think for real They don’t want you to think for real No They don’t want you to think for real Who’s the enemy? Seems that something’s got to be Where’s the real emergency? Who’s the enemy? I think it’s disease Hunger and the elements and misdirected fear You won’t dance to this no you won’t dance You won’t dance to this You won’t dance to this no you won’t dance You won’t dance to this You won’t dance to this no you won’t dance You won’t dance to this Who’s the enemy? Seems that someone’s got to be Where’s the real emergency? Who’s the enemy? I think it’s disease Hunger and the elements and loneliness They don’t want you to think for real No They don’t want you to think for real No They don’t want you to think for real They don’t want you to think for real They don’t want you to think for real They don’t want you to think for real

Mindset 02:57
Mindset Doom is trending Nerves are frayed Thoughts are bending They could snap Or at least crack I refuse to accept I reject that mindset  Phantom tiger in the hallway Toxic rainbow pollutes the day Dodgy logic twist dishonest Distant clarity I refuse to accept I reject that mindset  Cosmic balls eye zapped to your back  Crises divide provokes attack  Shadow hungry monolith Evokes lethal dread  I refuse to accept I reject that mindset  Ghost invader outside the door Hot wire terror leaves senses raw I refuse to accept I reject that mindset  Razor flashback from within They can't imagine You can't explain

Awake 03:33
Awake Algorithms shape then take your world Glitch then mutate humans with smartphones Pixels send in flux fragile egos Users lose cohesion to the screen Phase into the glow of dopamine Only when you’re awake will you know You have been sleepwalking All you have seen has been a dream This is where the air can take your breath Skeletons encased in shoddiness Polyester covers flesh in logos People click on superficial highs Love through filters forgets what normal means Only when you’re awake will you know You have been sleepwalking All you have seen has been a dream Only when you’re awake will you know You have been sleepwalking.

Gopher Drone Respond react Do this do that Be here then there Turn round come back Respond react Don’t think just do Respond react Look at the colour look at the details Nuance See the patterns feel the rhythms Digress Watch the seasons watch the change Contemplate Relaxation live and learn, go beyond Be no No Gopher Drone Respond react Go find return Go high go low Respond react Look at the colour look at the details Nuance See the patterns feel the rhythms Digress Watch the seasons watch the change Contemplate Relaxation live and learn, go beyond Be no Gopher Drone What do you mean? What do you mean? I can dream?

Need To Know 03:09
Need To Know There is an undertow Shadows glint Amazing Lost link Place to think Speculate and wonder Strange tide Horizon wide To lead the mind to reason Bright side In-between All the words Connectors I need to know why you don’t need to know I need to know I need to know I need to know Blank fade A barricade Breaks down When thinking True lives Exist now Blink look Let’s listen May be a chance to grasp Another way Of learning Just find Depth to meet Behind eyes Believing I need to know why you don’t need to know There’s more to us than this I’ll prove Remove my walls a quest to squeeze Some new ideas or go to sleep Go to sleep Go to sleep Go to sleep Go to sleep Go to sleep Go to sleep Go to sleep Sleep The urge is addressed Realise the problem Unglue fractured dream A molten rock of people Theories actualised Bring us to focus Small steps Magnified enquiring minds Ask questions I need to know why you don’t need to know I need to know I need to know I need to know One star A billion deaths A universe of seeing Balance many shades A spectrum of being Search for Hidden hints Sacred glimpse Of meaning Light side A multitude of possible Outcomes I need to know why you don’t need to know I need to ask some Frequently asked questions Why am I me? Why am I not you? Is there life after death? How come the sky is blue? What colour really was the T. rex? What comes next?

Beautiful Ritual Very near the edge of the very far Warm and close is away On the route to you I like to think I feel it could be true I picture it Try to put myself where you are Occupy the world you come from Recognise the look that you make In particular ways that fascinates In our tick of time and part of space Living like you know it’s one life All existence is a single spark A universal forever glimpse I’m trying to Move on through The point of view That I’ve been born to Imagining to forget the skin I’m living in Understand you Find a ritual A beautiful ritual To save you through the years Crystallised idea like a web Body mind and eye told with words not said Equally spaced and instinct shaped Signals in the air moved by heartbeats Travel to the core of our nature Dodge the doubt that holds it back Find a question a soul can solve Answers that will lean in loves favour I’m trying to Move on through The point of view That I’ve been born to Imagining to forget the skin I’m living in Understand you Find a ritual A beautiful ritual To save you through the years Beautiful ritual Beautiful ritual Beautiful ritual.....
