One final question though, Are you using solar energy mate? Traveller, traveller, traveller, What do you see that is missing now? This is the end, this is the end I’m going back my way I’ll miss you when I get back there. Traveller, traveller, traveller Why do you see it like you do, away? This is the end, this is the end, This is the end, I’m going away, away Away, iota Going away And run for your lie-ie-ie-ie And run for your lie-ie-ie-ie Fellow Americans, this is your President speaking. As of this day, April the 15th 2027, the National Institute of Health has made a legislative proposal that was passed by both the House and the Senate. This legislative suggests that the United States of America should legalize each and every type of recreational drug available to mankind. In an effort to relieve this great nation of ours of everyday stress, I have given this idea a lot of thought. And I say: let’s fucking do it, baby. Let’s legalize every single goddamn thing you can snort, smoke, inject or swallow; let’s get fucked up. I got some figures that I know where I’ll spend Now that I’m allowed to break and bend the rules Your eyes are fixed on my eyes, I feel as if a hurricane is blowing through Lord, you, you’re such a beautiful girl I’d rip my lungs out just to see you smile Show me where you want me A tickle to the front side and a spasm to the back

Depth 07:08
There lies a garden Above glass and sky Hiding in plain sight Melding with the world So wordless So lawless Echoes in purity But I’m banned, forbidden from entering Lord, what is happening? My body shoved down the depth But the lights, blinding eyes They scream out, shout out “One has to fall first, for one to fly” High

There was once a young man who had a black cage full of electric birds. And these birds, they really could not fly, no, because they were goddamn electric. Very much eclectic. One thing these birds could do really well is imitate sounds other birds could not imitate, because of their sheer electric value, you see. They deprive people of sleep, and let loose the most repetitive of sounds, leaving everybody wondering, "What are we to do about these electric birds, mate?" Electric birds So I was talking to these birds the other day... must've been drugged like shit, because I felt as if I'd known them forever. And they say: "Yo listen man, why don't you go down to San Francisco?" And I say: "San Francisco? Why the fuck would I wanna go there?" And they say: "There's plenty of things you can do in good old San Fran, like read books, do drugs, cross the Golden Gate bridge, fuck women, fuck anything, get a suntan, get a taco, get shitfaced, just not lie around here and listen to these goddamn electric birds, mate." Electric birds. And I feel it all, and I feel it all And I feel it all And I feel it all. 'Cause these birds, they never fall. See, these birds, they never fall. Ah shit. Plenty of fucking left to do now. Plenty of fucking left to do now, aye. I was gonna sing a very catchy melody here but due to copyright infringement I'm just not going to be able to. Electric Electric Birds Oh, my

Off 05:34
I’m switched off I’m switched off I’m switched off I’m switched off I’m switched off I’m switched Beyond my center Of what is right and what is tethered To go down, to see without any doubt So lacerate the body and then the brain The latter won’t bother to explain Why it would forget nevermore ‘Cause every time I reach the bottom Someone passes me a shovel Orders me to dig until I bleed From my I-eyes And I’m switched off, nothing can turn me on I’d kill myself, or you do it, just drive this pain away I’m switched off I’m switched off I’m switched off I’m switched off I’m switched off I’m so soft I’m so soft I’m so Soft is the feeling you took from me And soft is the air when I try to breathe I’d kill myself to forget your face I’d kill myself to forget this pain Explain, isolate every day by day And keep convincing me ‘twas not insane I’ve lied to myself more than good Saint Joseph I really don’t believe it was worth the commotion Emotionless, stoic, and pale I became But there’s a page that I cannot erase It blinds me, fucking blinds me Connects and finds me Like stitches it binds us Hurts my eyes, it hurts my disguise It hurts when I say that I realize That I’m Switched Off I’m switched off I’m switched off Lie, switched off Lie

Qat 10:17
There'll come a time, I won't be masked, I'll sail away, I'll bid my friends goodbye. There'll come a time, I'll be long gone, but the stars they'll guide me towards new land. There'll come a time, you and me, your hand in mine, come away with me. There'll come a time, my blade, their throat, this field, red in blood, horoz. There'll come a time, I will be god, I'll care from above, I'll never look away. There'll come a time, you will condemn all those that dared step foot into the temple. There'll come a time, I will be lost in my euphoric state of self-control There'll come a time, there'll come a time, there'll come a time. Die

Arsenic 07:46
I would like some arsenic I would like some arsenic I would like some arsenic Happiness in suicide There was a long time that I knew that true personal time comes as you lie to your true positional time management. You never You never haunted me again You never haunted me again, my You never haunted me again, my And just forget about it, So many ways above it all It’s why I’m so fucking pissed Don’t even care about it Want to rise above it all It’s why I’m so fucking dead Why do you see it like you do? I feel so alive And you’ve been dead for a long time A very long time. You never haunted me again, my You never haunted me again, my So god damn this fucking shit song I ain’t give a shit about it You want to rise above it all? It’s why I’m so fucking dead Ain’t much to do about it So many ways above it all It’s why I’m so fucking pissed Why do you see it like you do? I feel so alive And you’ve been dead for a long time A very long time. I’m running fifteen miles And I’m packing fifteen pounds Of that shit you call Arsenic Arsenic Arsenic Arsenic
