we are alive, but not for very long for our atoms are indifferent once the gravity of the human soul is gone but i really don't ever wanna die even though without nothingness everything left is just a lie with no explanation why so let my flesh be fire don't bury me in the city let me be the sky there's no morning without night no darkness without light no kiss without a bite no peace without a fight no distinction without our extinction we are transcendants of natural selection with arrows of time cast in every direction till all consciousness becomes universeless it's like drawing a blank and imagining less human teeth and human claws need human bricks for human walls they're just the dust from moons and suns which too were one so long before this human race and human faith were separated and misplaced to value life while we're laughing at death its like drawing a blank and imagining less

Hope 03:36
There's no time for drawing lines You've got to know where you stand and be ready to fight Leave the darkness, come into the light Open your eyes, open your mind See the zombies, trying to bite Don't be afraid, they are empty inside You and i, we cannot live that lie The road ahead is hard to make out So be prepared to lay your path down It's easy now we've got a way out Just be prepared to lay your path down If they put words in your mouth Spit them back out, go on, spit them back out They will try to sacrifice your will and your wonder and your sense of what's right In the name The name of dollar signs In the name of everything you despise The road ahead is hard to make out So be prepared to lay your path down It's easy now we've got a way out Just be prepared to lay your path down You're not alone We'll find our way home You're not alone Don't forget that when the sun sets the very next day it gets back up again Let your hope spread out like a fire Let your hope spread out like a fire Let your hope spread out like a fire Let your hope spread out like a fire Let your hope spread out like a fire

When i am old When i'm old and grey Im gunna give all my money away When im too tired to dream Ill make dreams come true For some young magicians Just like me and just like you When i fall apart May the music heal my heart When my hearing fades Treasure this guitar i played Cause that's how i can feel ok That's how i will be making music in my grave I was young once just like you Every seed i planted grew Nourished on the sole desire To set the freezing cold on fire You'll be old some day like me Wisdom will replace your dreams No more need for seeds to sow Just memories to hold onto 'Cause memories are what we make Before our minds and bodies break Ill give you all that you can take To help to give your music shape Cause i have dollars and you have cents I have scars where you have innocence It hurts you just to make the rent So you can keep those dollars Dollars don't make sense Ill put my faith in the young magician The one who shares this strange religion Ill put my faith in the young magician The one to carry this tradition Put the sounds behind the words & We could heal the universe We could heal the universe Just put the sounds behind the words Put the sounds behind the words & We could heal the universe We could heal the universe Just put the sounds behind the words

God is dead This is the end We're ready to drown You and me Will vanish in the sea Where we're safe and we're sound You get back all you give Live with love and love is what you'll live We are dumb In this human race that is won With death as the prize You and me We'll dream in sheets we weave Out of space and time You get back all you give Live with love and love is what you'll live Knowledge speaks Wisdom listens Time to make another bad decision We were fine Now instead All optimism is dead No remorse No regrets Let the water rise over our heads Up above Is a love When all our hope is dead no remorse no regrets let the water rise over our heads

Antfarm 03:59
from my mothers womb out into the war no more silver spoons no more open doors just dog eating dog trying to survive may your shortcomings be justified well into our prime we skew what's left of time you can dominate your hive if you work until the day that you die but i am not a bee and you are not my queen im one with everything money makes soldiers soldiers they make war war creates money so the greedy can gorge now there's blood on your hands from putting gas into cars tell me what you think about this capitalist antfarm of ours tell me that im crazy then

I am the wolf & You are the moon I'll keep my promises I promise you I hold a gun 'Cause this is a war We'll fight it locked behind our bedroom doors If I'm the one to take all the blame I'll pull the bullets out and heal again If you deceive me I'll never tell We'll drown together in this wishing well We'll get so high We can't get higher This is nothing new Just deja vu I am the wolf and You are the moon Give me your hand and we will make it through If you leave now I wish you well As we burn without you in this living hell We'll get so high We can't get higher This is nothing new Just deja vu

As I gaze deeper into the unknown the less we know, in vane As you gaze deep into your telephone even less is known, and gained You are the ones on tv Whose words are numbers to me I've found a way To keep my thoughts at bay Mould my tired mind like clay Doctor, Doctor, please Wont you tell me what it means Have i been disordered by a world that is diseased The anaesthetic helps reveal the bone feeling nothing The kitchen scissors then remove the lobe leaving nothing but grey A happy stupor to await me when i wake To eat my problems in this tiny human steak My mind is in space Yours is in your face Diagnose the human race Doctor, Doctor, please Wont you tell me what it means Have i been disordered by a world that is diseased Set my body free Set my spirit free Cause i don't really want to be a better human being

Jaded 03:11
Me & my sisters walked all the way From New York City to L.A. When we got there We turned right back 'round Already Jaded by what we'd found I've lost my mind & lost my soul All I've got left is my rock & roll I miss my lover, I miss my home All I've got left is my rock & roll Left bits and pieces along the way Playing our music with no exchange We'd come too far to return So we lit the past & watched it burn I've lost my mind & lost my soul All I've got left is my rock & roll I've lost my mind & lost my soul All I've got left is my rock & roll I miss my lover, I miss my home All I've got left is my rock & roll I've lost my mind & lost my soul All I've got left is my rock & roll & I know.. ..We've got a long way to go Rock is dead A dream come true There is nothing left for you You've been taken for a ride Excuse me while I kiss the sky I've lost my mind & lost my soul All I've got left is my rock & roll I've lost my mind & lost my soul All I've got left is my rock & roll I miss my lover, I miss my home All I've got left is my rock & roll I've lost my mind & lost my soul All I've got left is my rock & roll & I know.. ..We've got a long way to go

Dark Matter 03:49
I just wanna be free But the devils always chasing me & I cant keep running into all this wind and rain and lightning So i get ready for the attack I keep my fingers crossed behind my back & I lie, lie through my teeth if it gets me out of this Watching the light scatter I can't see through all this dark matter I walk through the desert The sun is burning at my back On a mission long forgotten Until I close my eyes at last & i wake up in a muddy river Where you were trying not to drown But I couldn't save you either So the both of us went down We watched the light scatter I can't see through all this dark matter ride on, ride on into the storm ride on, ride on man, you sure can carry on ride on into the storm ride on ride on man you sure can carry on

we did what we could but the humans are no good so run into the woods.. …we're safer with the wolves nothing's what it seems you have poisoned all our sweetest dreams so tell me what exactly do you think that you believe in we did what we should cause those men turned into bulls and the blood upon the knife is surely justified a sacrifice man you've come a long way far out from the caves which once hid you from the night now you're hiding in plain sight slit your prophets wrists feed him to the scientists however far wont be enough till all you never were is turned to dust I cant pretend that this isn't happening I cant pretend that this isn't happening I cant pretend that this isn't happening we did what we could but the humans are no good the humans are no good we're safer with the wolves

If the future's full of human beings with bigger better personalities that take up so much space there's no place left for me to hide UPLOAD ME INTO THE SKY there's a bigger brighter future we are owed where happiness is just a line of code so when the science comes for me to leave this world behind UPLOAD ME INTO THE SKY my body is obsolete the human form - decaying meat i'll plug you in and turn you on so that we may be forever one in technology we could sculpt and mould mortality with computer/human singularity to chemically reside inside a universe of my design UPLOAD ME INTO THE SKY with no more death or growing old we'll have bio-algorithmically evolved put the keys in the cognition to partition the soul uploaded out of my head into the leading role now we're in control lay my empty vessel down to die, then UPLOAD ME INTO THE SKY scan my skull and analyse my mind, then UPLOAD ME INTO THE SKY my body is obsolete the human form - decaying meat i'll plug you in and turn you on so that we may be forever one in technology my body is obsolete the human form - decaying meat woooooOoooHooOoo!! plug me in and turn me on juice me of my naughts and ones as of then my life will start with the algorithmic beating of the heart
