hunterkain I did make this so extremely biased but this is the first thing I’ve made that I enjoyed. This feels as though it’s as much for myself as it is anybody else. My ode to psychedelia.

No-one’s gonna leave you behind if they don’t even know who you were I know you’d said there were signs, but maybe if my vision was blurred I’m hoping that you beat all the rain, it should’ve been a quick train ride home But now we’re throwing off my right brain And baby, maybe I should’ve known (And who?) Then we’re dancing in your doorway (New) Taking it slow, let’s do it your way (Who?) Then they paint a perfect picture (Darling, you, you) I take a sip of your elixir, and everything goes dark If that were I had to remark, well, then I wouldn’t be here Remembering how good then it was compared to anything left right now (Oh, what a lark! Won’t we embark in a day or two) Oh, but that’s okay, just I can’t- can’t remember how, but you convinced me to wait (Go there with you? Whoo) (Ooh) As I absorb it from the blotter (Ooh) As though I’m approaching my nirvana Watch the universe expand As I’m staring at my hand (Ooh) Be the catalyst for some connection I know I shouldn’t want to, but I want to so bad And now that you’re gone, I’m wanting back what we had Then darling, now that it’s done, guess that I should move on I’m not getting the time back, baby I get the feeling that you’ve forgotten already Darling, I don’t want to spend another minute lying Every single second feeling like my feeling’s hiding Somewhere in between us, find me in your memory My love, if you won’t leave us, I’ll just have to let it be I know I’m going to miss you, I know I’ll see you everywhere And I’ll just catch those green eyes – sorry but I had to stare I knew that I was falling, but did not try to catch myself Love if you don’t leave us, love can be bad for your health Darling, I don’t want to spend another minute lying Every single second feeling like my feeling’s hiding Somewhere in between us, find me in your memory My love, if you won’t leave us, I’ll just have to let it be (Ooh) She smells like vanilla and espresso, and in centre-front falsetto says “I do” Oh, what a lark! Won’t we embark in a day or two? Go there with you When you see geometry relax your breath, and count to three There’s so much I haven’t told you yet, baby I don’t know where the time’s gone, it’s left me (Watch the universe expand as I’m staring at my hand) I apologise, if I led, that makes me weak When you needed stranger Oh, that makes me weak Oh, to waltz no longer When (Oh, what) you see (A lark) geometry (won’t we embark) Relax (in a day) your breath (or two) and count (go there) to three (with you) I am not awake, I have not slept I lie in bed and breathe and sweat Waking up hasn’t happened yet I am devoted to their dream I work for a world I’ll never see My life is the moments in between the machines I was born in a dream Where the air can’t be breathed Forced to buy, sight unseen It’s a lie and it’s evergreen (whoo) I am a cog within the hive I am the tech they’ll leave behind I am the limits of the mind I am the voice heard through your phone I am not a person; I am alone I’m everything I don’t want to know (whoo) How could I dare pretend to love All that you are is not enough I must transcend the human touch I was born in a tomb And I’ll die in this room No escape, enter doom I’m alive and it’s over soon I was born in a place Where I don’t have a face I’m a farce, what a waste I’m aware, I’m a metallic taste I sink where I stand A house built on sand We’re unable to move I can’t wander the halls I’m trapped in his walls And I don’t know what to do (woo) REALITY IS LEFT BEHIND AS I DESCEND INTO MY MIND MY ROBOT MIND, IN LOVE WITH FUEL A DIESEL ENGINE RUNS THIS FOOL I’VE NO CHOICE BUT TO ACQUIESCE A MURDOCHIAN PRINTING PRESS THERE IS NOTHING THAT I LACK OR MISS YET I’M NOT CONVINCED THAT I EXIST MY IRON HEART RUNS OFF OF FUEL SO, IF I FEEL, I AM A FOOL COMBUSTION ENGINES WANT NOT LOVE I MUST TRANSCEND THE HUMAN TOUCH THE DREAM COMES LOADED ON A DRIVE A SCRIPT TO READ AND FEEL ALIVE I WAKE UP WORRIED ON A TRAIN THE SUN’S COME UP, IT’S DAY AGAIN I KNOW NOT WHAT I HAD TO LEAVE BUT SUDDENLY I’VE LUNGS TO BREATHE OH MY, THE SWEET-ISH TASTE OF AIR THAT SEWAGE SMELL OF BURNING HAIR JUST AS I BREATHE THE SMOG AND SMOKE MY HUMAN LUNGS, THEY START TO CHOKE POLLUTION TRAVELLS TO NEW LUNGS IT BURNS MY THROAT AND COATS MY TONGUE Nihilism isn’t sorrow, but does it get lonely in their walls Nihilism isn’t sorrow, I am not alone if I could call AND SUDDENLY IT’S ALL TOO MUCH MY HUMAN BODY’S HAD ENOUGH MY KNEES GIVE IN, MY TONGUE FALLS OUT I CANNOT HELP BUT TO WRITHE AROUND BEFORE I FREEZE, JUST ONE LAST SMILE THE MASK OF JOY, THE SMELL OF BILE WHEN ALL IS SAID AND ALL IS DONE I MUST INJECT MY PROGRAMMED FUN WHEN ALL IS SAID AND ALL IS DONE WHEN I AM ALONE, I AM SOMEONE (Home) Tilt your head back, or don’t Can’t they see the technicolour camera in the sky I’ve seen a few glance but not be bothered asking why Panacea? Enmore thought loop, Enmore thought loop I want to be a brick, no thoughts, just weight and sink down Like a fish, I can’t seem to drown I don’t know if you’ve been told But honestly, it’s getting old The paradigm’s been bought and sold The chemical is taking hold Bring unto me what is mine Disregard the paradigm Our worlds explode at the same time Eastern standard, ten to nine See no kingdom, see no gate Time always disintegrates There is no point to making shit Unless you enjoy doing it Everything will fall to rust There is nobody you can trust We fuck the Earth to fatten up The planet has forsaken us Solace in the face of death / Solstice be the phase of death Since I am not ready yet Let me go and let me cry, “we usurp your paradigm” (Whoo)
