Around The World 04:41
lyrics

Hot. It's too hot in the summer Air is getting cloudy, it's a bummer Fires go on til everything is burned And the worst part is that this is what we've earned. The world is ending. When it all grows warm, when the planet we're born upon breaks down, we may never see the light again. When the water runs out and there's an unfixable drought around the world, we may never be at home again.

Irreversible Destruction 04:08
lyrics
buy track
The earth is shaking at its core. The gods are brewing up a storm. The way the humans live caused irreversible destruction. "The plants have all stopped growing, There's no water in the ocean, There's no point keeping it going, tear it down, tear it down. All the animals have perished, There's no bugs roaming the dirt, They've ruined all that we have cherished." Said the goddess Mother Earth. "But what about the humans? Do they not breathe as fauna do? Do they not fight to survive? Do they not mate and reproduce?" "Well yes, the humans are primal, as the tigers used to be, but they went too far for their survival and should be removed like a weed." So then the gods came to a vote. Eliminate all the humans in one blow. And Create a new life to start the new cycle of evolution. Start with one cell, let it grow into another to start the new cycle of evolution.

The Cycle 02:30
lyrics

Welcome everyone into the room. We've got everything you can ever consume. Marbles everywhere, and herbs, so much to choose. Just be wary, don't you take them for a fool. Welcome everyone to your demise. You left with nothing, you were looking for a prize. It felt good at first till you saw with your eyes you're your own enemy. Oh, you've been hurting yourself. Oh, you're the subconscious creator of your hell. Welcome everyone, I'm here to talk to you. Tell me your stories, let me help you make it through. I know you're suffering, it weighs too much to move, but don't get caught again or time is what you'll do. The government will treat you like a tool to make more money. They wont give any to you. They've got your name written down for future use. They want you to use again Oh, they want to trap you in a cycle. Oh, they want to rip you of your life.

Homicidal Maniac 02:36
lyrics
buy track
I used to be so suicidal. I used to wanna slit my wrists, but now I feel so homicidal putting names onto my list. I feel my blood boiling as I feel the anger in my chest. I'll never be at piece till I and those who wronged me are dead. I've become the homicidal maniac I've been so scared off. I've become the homicidal maniac I've been so scared off. I'll cut off your ears so you can't hear the screams and the throwing up. I'll make sure to savor every moment that I have you here and soon I'll tear you limb by limb and make your face into a mask. It hurts so much. Here's your buddy, he's so bloody. You can watch and you can study as I turn his guts into a substance similar to putty. You can join me if you want to though I know you're scared to death. Your body's shaking head to toe but soon I'll put you to the test.

Pluto 4033 04:41
lyrics

Attention fellow Plutonians. This is a warning alarm. The Humans are on their way to us so be prepared with your arms. They've taken over every other planet and turned each one of them to dust. We must defend our homes today for the humans are coming for our blood. Ten minutes till they will arrive. They're low on men so I think we can survive. Let's all band together and beat them at their game. We will blast them into space and return to peaceful ways. Here they come, prepare the eliminator. Shoot at them, when you've got a shot. Aim your guns and do not hesitate. For our loved ones, we must not meet our fate. Get the bots and set them to destroy. Make sure every last one of them gets deployed. We must not lose now, we must not lose now.

The Deep End 03:25
lyrics

I think I've found myself on the deep end getting too high while I'm trying to sleep in, oh. Getting closer to the edge every weekend, waiting for someone to tell me where to go. I'm feeling so behind. I'm feeling like I'm running out of time. Haven't showered in about a week and haven't brushed my teeth cause I don't care. I'm ready to die any second I've accepted it. It's just not fair. I miss hanging out with people I miss doing something everyday. I'm so tired of sitting still as everyone else just drifts away.

Clown Town (Grand Opening) 02:19
lyrics
buy track
Welcome to clown town. Have a seat, have a seat. The show will start in just a moment. Get your cameras ready for the homophobes as they begin to clown around the stage. And laugh as they get angry at the sight of people in love. And look at those bigots as they flock under the annoying orange. Defending terrorism when it benefits their ideology and all the beliefs that they hold. They know not what they speak of but clowns nonetheless they are. Don't let us get to your head cause we are clowns no more no less They are the clowns They are the clowns They are the clowns They are the clowns Look at that one on the right, he's got a super straight flag. He denies the sciences when it doesn't agree with him. He creeps out all of the women everywhere he goes. He thinks he's oppressed, when really he's simply just a turd. Look at that one in the middle. He believes in human rights, but doesn't like the rainbow. He's a good little Christian boy who follows blindly by the side of all the people in his life without a second thought. They know not what they speak of but clowns nonetheless they are Don't let us get to your head cause we are clowns no more no less They are the clowns They are the clowns They are the clowns They are the clowns

Corona 02:50
lyrics
buy track
If you were alive today, I'd ask you how you've been. I'd roll you up a jay and tell you what has happened since. I'd ask if you remember when you were nine and I was seven, and if your life is better now that you're floating up in heaven. If you were alive today I'd pass you a corona. I'd ask you if you want a cig and if you watched me grow up. I wonder if you see me when I look up in the air, and hear me when I talk to you, as if you're sitting there. I can't say that I don't want to speak to both of you again. I want to hear your voices outside of my head. I've been crumbling and stumbling, wishing I was dead, but I'll live on and on for you to watch me grow instead. I'll get fucked up in your honor I'll get fucked up in your honor I'll get fucked up in your honor I'll get fucked up in your honor If you were alive today we'd go out on a hike. We could take a walk or even go out on a bike. We could find a spot to smoke away another night, and I'd be sure to say I love you before you leave my sight. I'll get fucked up in your honor I'll get fucked up in your honor I'll get fucked up in your honor I'll get fucked up I'll get fucked up in your honor I'll get fucked up in your honor I'll get fucked up in your honor I'll get fucked up in your honor

Living In The U.S.A. 02:35
lyrics

Let me tell you what it's like to live in the U.S.A. People want to be themselves and straight fucks think they have a say. People want to stop being killed by cops, some people don't want it that way. A whole lot of men get to walk free and get away with rape. Fuck. Living in the U.S.A. Living in the U.S.A Living in the U.S.A Let me tell you what it's like to live in the U.S.A. I've got family who's gone through hell just to be where they are today. People want to say my people don't deserve a place to stay. Lock them up in cold ass boxes, leave them all astray. Fuck. Living in the U.S.A. Living in the U.S.A Living in the U.S.A Let me tell you what it's like to live in the U.S.A. Go to school, have a drill in case someone shoots up the place. Say you don't want any more war and get called a disgrace. Men who preach to not kill don't want their guns taken away. Fuck. Living in the U.S.A. Living in the U.S.A Living in the U.S.A

Falling Back Asleep 04:43
lyrics

Waking up from a dream that's great, wanting to go back in. Aching to live in a realm that is distant from this reality we're in. Under the state of sleeping sometimes it's better than the day you had. Trying to pass back out to return to the dream cause it wasn't that bad. Sometimes dreams can scare you And sometimes you can't get out Entering REM State. Initiating dream sequence Dream activated
