Things are kind of weird now And they have been for quite some time I don’t know who either of us are now But I hope we do what’s right I wanna be a part of your life

You’re the only one I ever wanted, you’re the only one I ever loved As a crescent celestial falls, on the streets of this hateful nation Reality becomes loose limbed, it peels itself off its own skinny frame And in the endless paranoia, of this beautifully deranged decade I open my eyes, and the whole world disappears In evil hour, when I give up completely Everything I love, is stripped away from me No homes no loves, nothing but the future No homes no loves, nothing but the great unknown I wish you were still by my side, I wish I didn’t have to face up to this But after more than two decades, I need to become what I really am Boys I love you, girls I love you I love this collapsing planet, and I want everything from it In evil hour, when I give up completely Everything I love, is stripped away from me No homes no loves, nothing but the future No homes, no loves, nothing but the great unknown But the blank haze is ours, every barrier will be shattered We’ll take back everything they stole, it’s just a question of when We’ll get what’s rightfully ours, and they’ll pay what they owe I’ll spit in your face, I’ll spit in your eye Fools wear crowns as they jump off bridges Tears in their eyes but no understanding of why Hollow men on hollow thrones made of our stolen bones I take my pills and the monsters emerge from my periphery I am disgusted, I am so full of love Everybody must be saved, everybody must be saved I am disgusted, I am so full of love Everybody must be saved, everybody must be saved

I feel oily, I feel pure Mad God Magog, we really fucked this one I know I said, I needed you And that’s, probably still true I know I said, I needed you But I’ve lied to myself, and I’ll lie to you Under the volcano, down by the shore I found diseased animals, screaming in my ears There was nothing we could do, we’d already screwed them Take what you want from this life, then disappear into the earth I know I said, I needed you And that’s, probably still true I know I said, I needed you But I’ve lied to myself, and I’ll lie to you Oversized creatures, of no shape Visions of dreams, that fell into a lake We never stood, a single chance I've lied to myself and I'll lie to you You can't count on me, I'm just an echo Of wind in the trees, congealed for centuries Beneath the earth, I wait for the Day to return, I forever lurk We’re worthless, we’re losers, we’re worthless, we’re wasters, we’re worthless, we’re remnants, we’re worthless, we’re nothing Featureless deity! Take back what we need! Outsiders looking in! Give us a false offering! Nihilistic silhouettes! This is an intermission! Ask all your questions! Ask away, ask away! We’re worthless, we’re unknowing, we’re specks of sand on a cliff face! Meteors strike the surface of the moon, and we’re worthless, we’re worthless!

I, I am not me, after all my years of pilgrimage I just have, my old body and its memories The rats nest, it hollowed me out I never realised, there was so little left of my old self How long, have you known, it was gonna end up like this? I thought we were through, the worst of it, alright There’s a mountain made of my corpses in my head, and every single one of them is me I can’t pretend to understand how they all just, keep on piling up Just when you think you’re clear, they stab you in the throat Totale’s Turns into Totale Nite, I guess we’ve always been up to our necks in it How long, have you known, it was gonna end up like this? I thought we were through, the worst of it, alright I want it all gone, I want it all gone I want it gone, I want it all gone How long, have you known, it was gonna end up like this? I thought we were through, the worst of it, alright There’s always a victim, this system always needs a trophy We’re all just objects, this system only bleeds the vulnerable

I touched your arm, you told me you hated that I guess I knew why, but man I still hated that And by that riverside, you turned pretty quiet I guess I knew why, we both turned pretty quiet Last train back to the city, end of the platform gleaming There’s something there in the distance, crawling about on the tracks in the corners Turn of some dark century, the trees shadows are hands around our wrists I only ever steal from my influences, and from you I stole my own blood But I never had, your monstrous defiance I never had, your monstrous defiance Stare it in the eyes, and never back down, stare it in the eyes, don’t you dare back down Stare it in the eyes, and never back down, stare it in the eyes, don’t you dare back down Windswept or god-sent, outside or down-tied Burnt out or drowned now, there’s nothing here but gales Windswept or god-sent, outside or down-tied Burnt out or drowned now, there’s nothing but gales left When the rain subsides, I find the roof fallen in The wall is caved, and the road is gone A halcyon era, is beginning again Time for us to start anew, in the dark waters So give my internal organs, to all those in need And throw my hollow remains, into the North Sea Stumble around, in an amnesiac haze Find the thing lurking, back near the platform Give in, give up, don’t try to fight it Give in give up, I have no defiant gaze Give in, give up, don’t try to fight it Give in give up, I have no defiant gaze As due recompense, for former failures I collapse in on myself, yeah you know what I do What is there left to say? I take a vow of silence So shut up shut up shut up, and just let me dream

We, set sail, through uncharted waters, down the rivers of your spine Your breath, carried us, into something we’d never seen, into new ways of living What you thought was something totally new, was just the everyday for someone else Trapped in the underside, of the oceanic swell In our, discovered passage, we brought so much rot, we lost ourselves with Klaus Kinski, the rivers of our minds flowed far too fast Out there, beyond what we knew, we gave ourselves, to all those we’d just want to use, to all those who’s backs we built ourselves on What you thought was something totally new, was just the everyday for someone else Trapped in the underside, of the oceanic swell A new mark for the thieves’ world, to steal under the white hot moon Just the everyday for someone else, trapped in the underside Branches wind out of the scars in our arms and then wind themselves around our skinny chests To stop us ever letting any fools get close to the dark mass deep inside But this is just a systemic consequence this is how we have always lived The rest of us weren’t given such a blissful life of your ignorant privilege When you think you’re fucked and the being fucked just makes you fuck everything up How can forgive yourself for all those you always let down A New York City mining disaster they say there’s no one really to blame Trapped in the dark and the dirt and we’re all running out of air fucking fast Don’t you know who I am, I am the sun I am the one all of this is mine Don’t you dare feel sorry for yourself, don’t you dare feel sorry for yourself you haven’t earned it yet And down here it was always like this, strobe lights flaring behind our eyes The landscapes shifts before us, and you tell us we haven’t earned it yet, you tell us we haven’t earned it yet Nothing ever happened to the beautiful ‘cos the beautiful never had to try The isolated anomie of a theatre of your life in a warehouse way out in the city limits This plague is a play but the stage is made of the roots of the broken hearted The alienated and the exploited how dare they all want to be more than just ok? Ski Saigon way out in the depths of the jungles of the cosmos We’re nihilistic technofetishists diving straight into the new age sprawl A burning white hot mass of everything we could ever need to bring us together A perfect tree bursts out of the perfect forehead of a perfect sleeping comatose woman Don’t you know who I am, I am the sun I am the one all of this is mine Don’t you dare feel sorry for yourself you haven’t earned it yet, don’t you dare feel sorry for yourself you haven’t earned it yet And down here it was always like this, strobe lights flaring behind our eyes The landscapes shifts before us, and you tell us we haven’t earned it yet, you tell us we haven’t earned it yet But wait. Don’t move. Listen. Breathe in. Breathe out. Take my hand my loves. This is the last trip. This is reaching its limit. Oceans move and so do we. Swept into never being the same. But why would you ever want to live like this? This is reaching its limit. I want it all and I will get it. Everything from everyone in the detritus of the voyage. Everyone hurts in the rolling Sargasso Sea. This is reaching its limit. Breathe in breathe out, this is reaching its limit Everything falls apart someday, so why not today? We’re going away, and we’ll never come back Branches stretch out our arms, you never knew it was always like this Where were you when I needed you the most? We all thought better of you 1524, 1974, 20XX, this is reaching its limit The alienated always take their rightful agency, so why not today? I’ll tell you what I wrote, when you discovered everybody’s past Fascists lock us away, all years of wanting tumble into nothing You burnt every pilgrim, their wealth was an insult, this is reaching its limit Centuries of empire an exploited memory in the ashes of time, this is reaching its limit Painted ruins of golden thrones, I don’t see what I ever did wrong Some talking Shinigawa monkey, dared to steal my name and my soul I need a hand just to get up in these colossal days, this is reaching its limit I need a hand just to get my words out under the crushing air, this is reaching its limit There is no end there is no limit this is reaching nothing you always needed us I will not accept this all of this is mine I need it I need it I need it I need it this is reaching its limit I am the barrier I am the sun I am the one I fall down your spine I am the roots I am the plague I am the stage I am the play I am the sun I am the one I need it I need it I need it I am everything there is no limit I need it I need it love me love me love me love me I am no one I am no one I am lost now I am no one love me love me love me love me I am no one I am no one I am lost now I am no one just make it stop just make it stop just make it stop just make it stop just make all of it stop just make it stop just make it stop just make it stop I love everything I love you all I love everything I love you all just make it stop just make it stop I love everything I love you all just make it all stop just make it all stop I love everything I love you all just make it stop just make it stop just make it stop just make it stop just make it stop just make it stop just make it stop And if I survive myself, I’ll see you pretty soon Love wasn’t enough, but it will be someday soon

And after everything, we thought we were Was eaten by itself, was lost to the birds I thought I could stay here, watch over the promised past Try to stop anyone, going back there again And if I fall now, I’ll stay here forever A thousand years of solitude, yeah that’s alright by me Your body is a nation, I’ll never see again Our nation is a body, sickness in its veins Pathogens course right through, all of our blood Heartbreak season, another lost decade But I don’t mind giving up, I can lose myself Become straw and wood, devoured by the earth Forever in this field, watching over the past As long as you all promise, you’ll never go back And if I fall now, I’ll stay here forever A thousand years of solitude, yeah that’s alright by me I just wanna rot, I just wanna be left alone
