Less Fun

less fun, less fun
our condition isn't hard to bear
let's fall into the sun
with true religion I could take you there
call the doctor
a new prescription keeps you in the chair
tell the proctor
that he's a cheater and a millionaire
let’s find out how
to pull an answer right out of the air
nothing is for free
nothing guaranteed
nothing is for free
nothing guaranteed
the man outside is building a new train line
i can't explain the context of places i've been
a lunatic smile is burning inside me all the time
nothing is for free
nothing guaranteed
nothing is for free
nothing guaranteed

Magic Eraser
02:38
|
|||
|
your famished eye
lucid and vacant
photographic mind
going to erase it
erase it all it & breathe the dust
no complications
do what you must
your vanished sign
breeding impatience
photograph your mind
going to erase it
you're looking down your sleeve [x2]
like the barrel of a gun
can't face your disease [x2]
can't fix what you see
you're not the only one
with your magic eraser
your human touch
has never been wasted
don't believe in much
but you're going to erase it
erase it all & breathe the dust
no complications
do what you must
you're looking down your sleeve [x2]
like the barrel of a gun
can't face your disease [x2]
can't fix what you see
you're not the only one
facing, turning [x3]
to the center of the sun
with your magic eraser

Patient
03:12
|
|||
|
jumping frequencies
you must be, as you seem
straight lines
all pointing at me
speak clearly on the phone
you leave your
fortune at home
i will too
must be your attitude
chemicals burning through
patient
you must be patient [x4]

Only Time
04:07
|
|||
|
pointing into the corner of your room
encouraged to isolate
an elegant proof
i’ll leave it up to you
the best things in life aren't true
i'm a shill
won’t take your poison pill, this time
i'm waiting up for a friend
it's only time [x4]
this time
walking me through
the meaning of the end
better that i pretend
does conscience come through
the tree or the root
i know it but i can't say
i'm waiting up for a friend
it’s only time [x4]
this time

Life Extension
02:27
|
|||
|
walking upstairs at the end of the night
painting your face in the cold candlelight
would you release me, could you completely
calloused right hand with the cord wrapped tight
leaving for a place where the air tastes right
curious stare and a bored platitude
put my head straight & explode into you
would you release me, could you completely
i'm calling out at the end of the night
warming my hands in the glow of the street light
callous stare & cold attitude
get my head straight & explode into you

Reality's Veil
02:52
|
|||
|
i keep waiting here for something good to happen
i can feel the tension coming down the line
hesitating, with a finger on the button
chain reaction, caught the feeling just in time
i've been dragged across a mind that's like the ocean
torn and faded but we're gonna be just fine
reality's veil is piercing the skin
reality's veil is wearing so thin
reality's veil again & again
& we're feeling just fine
play the game with a smile
i've been staring at the walls & holding my head
i can feel the pressure building in my spine
close my eyes & i can hear the angels singing
coming near it now & carrying for miles
our creation can't be seen before its ending
just be patient now it's gonna be alright
reality's veil is piercing the skin
reality's veil is wearing so thin
reality's veil again & again
& we're feeling just fine
we play the game with a smile

In Descending
03:47
|
|||
|
when you wake up you promise me
that your mind will be so clear
pulling out wires from an old machine
like it isn't even there
the possibility of an ending
that will make sense of itself, in descending
filling the air with a silent bloom
so your thoughts won't seem so real
i can't be sure what you think of me
