Alta Rush 02:42
golden trees and lakes surround the making of a superpower clippers make their way for gold and miners plant the seeds of old stakes are made for mountain ranges hammered on the harm and plates are ripping through the ages to break somebody’s arm and we pin our maps with knives all along and who took silver lake infested with wells of dirty palms and you can sink your tooth into an avocado farm and even if the fante trips through dirty dives and hotel lobbies with no pennies i can treat her better with the making of the great american extended play

Fowl and Foe 02:50
just because love is only persuasive chemicals does not absolve you of the blame i depend on nanoscopic upswings in particles, that spark the notions in my brain so i brace hard for the anger and trite painting your eyes as i turn out the lights i depend on the tenor that sleeps in your eyes harness the light to cope with the night the building of the barricade is total with your shoulder blade and i commend the tearing of the legacy you sorta made and i sow seeds to the fowl and foe seasoning my liver in the winter when i started mitigates the fabricated memories departed we set the land on fire with averse eyes seasoning my liver in the summer is a part of losing all memories in act of thereof we set the land on fire with napalm pies just because love is only technically stratagem does not negate the joy or gain happiness is exclusively subatomic particles that feed directly to my brain so i reach hard when i break for the light i hide in the bushes and sneak in the night a sneeze can discover the peace with a light break in the pressure that squeezes the fight the wonder of invention is the least of my intentions and i’ll follow convention if you’re paying attention and i sow seeds to the fowl and foe

Seymour 03:18
they’re always searching for me cuz i’m like you i hate what’s coming for me i used to choose but we’ve seen the last of 40 seconds in the past always better than the next 40 approaching its a paradox but we cry all the same there’s always pressure to go so i lay down low i lay down low there’s always pressure to go so i reach inside my pocket pick an angle on the locket there’s always freaks in my brain so i lay down low i lay down low but we’ve seen the last of 40 seconds in the past always better than the next 40 approaching its a paradox but we cry all the same

Mages 03:40
the piece in the paper caused a panic the sheiks and the mages automatic action to heat consists of static here comes the sun to scorch our envious sons the sheiks and the mages caused a panic by bleeding the public interest seize the moment when they say that you need to believe the heaviness of the seas so we sail with a minx and a sheet towards the whale but the sticks in the butter and the cannons in the ground raids on the admirals are never to be found the sheiks and the mages caused a panic by bleeding the public interest seize the moment when they say that you need to believe the heaviness of the seas and we bleed for the many people and their needs i don’t blame the indispensability we found how can it be wrong to desire all the sounds its how the sheiks and the mages caused a panic by bleeding the public interest seize the moment when they say that you need to believe the heaviness of the trees so we wronged we were wronged by the rights all along i don’t blame the leaning or the cynical alarms if you are empowered you have the right to harm it’s on but it’s all the same all the same through the history and pages all the same all the same it’s inevitably in vain it’s the change there’s no change flip through systematic wages but it’s insane it’s so insane to be living anyway write a letter with a b and we’ll end it with an l or an e and you see the letter with the same old song what’s the only reason to swim along well i don’t know and the people haven’t known and the president has shown that annihilation goes where nobody knows but it’s all the same it’s all the same through the history and pages all the same all the same it’s inevitably in vain it’s the change there’s no change flip through the mauls and the wages but it’s insane it’s so insane to be living anyway

i sail the ocean for us forests of endless hidden trees in the sunken breeze only pacific topographical vistas hinder me and it’s all i see i thought the animals were calling new york is farther than the mountain volcanic prisons are pounding i ride the tourniquet the natives are arresting me for my pirate greed as we ascend the hill the blood is rushing past my knee through my hands and feet the ash is sneaking in my lungs and i am breathing in the fun and i am bleeding out the one and it’s all for me i thought the animals were calling new york is farther than the mountain volcanic prisons are pounding i thought the animals were calling tahitian eagles are astounding they liberate my heart it’s pounding

Flesh 03:40
pleats of wrath can’t shake it off when the waist is all in your mind and your skin is only making enough of the sweater in to twine but you’ve got enough to remind the pope of a perilous time you can’t shake a gavel at all the fall-flat punches that make it past the parting line it’s the part of the bench that makes me want to align myself with the paupers and dimes cause wheels are emotional lies the flesh on the body is only a home for bulls of bugatti to trace their face into bone meet the makers of the past and make them an offer and try to make them mad they’re no modern men they’re no modern men but only if you can defend mongolian mathematicians pleading knees can’t make it up when you march through the eaves with your shirt all ripped and tattered up and your face in the trees so seize opportunity now the meek don’t get sick of the plow the flesh on the body is only a home for bulls of bugatti to trace their face in to bone the sweat on the body is just a control for making the money with stone cold stares in to stone

Eurasia 03:49
it took two lions and five crosses to sleep rest is what we need for tomorrow we may bleed it took some fire Loads of ire Songs from the lyre We put out the fire There's unsuspected nodes Cultivated rows of plenty undulated trees Your movements all serene captures everything I hold so lite leeks in every bite you stew absurdist prose and brew contorted poses in your dreams tortured the pristine your sexuality pinioned in a milky scene that don"t seem right to trite and still a crime This I can't decide forced me to abide by every trace brace my face your fish have swam astray blood will flow and wine will rule the night if might just take our lives Help me if you can I suggest you be my friend don't fancy me? I don't blame you a seedless caucasus grew and threw up the path he knew a naked future blue

History 03:44
Senor L. Buñel was a babe and he taught the spanish population that existence is inane and Andalusian dogs are crazy and they’re sad he spoke to me with a wrist in time with the aegean sea treating simone to a razor and the lady has manner of the lady of the manor unequivocal in tenor and tranquility of candor and she sinks when they mach schock schau schock schau i relate to systematic ex post facto automatic pleasing of a diplomat extract significance in action but all i want is a part of history spare the elegant fall of apathy Sir Franklin Black he made a name for collegiate storming of the dance floor and i appreciate his clamor it speaks to everyone with blood and soul he sings to me through abrasive lungs of a coyote in a minute you see that they sit you down with a gun in the knee and your feet in the trees and your head and your hearts on the rocks when when they mach schock schau i deliver my attacks to pacifists who turn their backs i split their skull and no one acts let’s sit down and make a pact? all i want is a part of history disregard the italian pedigree all i want is a part of history everybody is all i try to please it’s too hard to deliver goods to light feed the beast and he declines to bite i take a shot and no one will see me but all i want is a part of history

sing songs today at the quay fragment’s delay and we’re back when the breaker is down but something is caught in the way something amidst those who drowned relativity ranks with the throes of those who died pick a sonnet for her it’s not yours you know you lied and we’ll break all the waves it’ll sound like you staved off the frozen and splayed but it can’t be explained cause something is caught in the way something amidst those who drowned promethea soft and sweet i try to sleep but you’re after me pummeled my chance to make a lovely sweater with patterns of snowflakes and coarse white ribbons nostalgia you’re raping me flowers of semen posing as love all of these thoughts a treasure trove of bali’s finest exports including but not limited to the arts

Art Heist 03:09
He pitched the lumber and sank the oil in a sack in a suitcase for a watchful woman we stick it in the market and pray that the law can’t track up a bootlace to trace and follow us down matisse is a man who’s known about town where is there an attic to hide the strange folks that decide let’s stay on the moderate side but classifieds don’t reach to the audience like punchy pills of medicine whose pictures are the largesse in the light so we picked a moroccan riad with the hopes that somebody inside has odd panache and a longing to hide exorbitant and oily prize in the basement where no one resides let’s make sure we’ve covered our side it just must be true selfless love for you though it’s not the noblest means it’s a step above all the philistine you have to be cold and green to appreciate the luxury

hey it’s on we had a lot of fun but oh i know someone who knows someone twenty one reminders on the gun but oh it only makes sense in this song so be gone cause really all along you know i kept my secrets in the lawn oh we always saved the radar feed you know the laymen have a way to take the lead oh we always say so suddenly we’re gonna change it up and designate a portion of our spontaneity we had a leg on the run
