Morning

Morning!
I've still not fallen
Listening to the birds outside
They're catching the worm I'll be left with barren earth
Sung to sleep
No memory of my thoughts turning off
I abruptly wake
I've lost half a day
Mourning!
The hours lost, moment of silence for the fallen
Now I'm lying, I'm trying arising
My eyes sting and the lighting's uninviting
The alarm was futile
No memory of turning it off
I finally rise
Clear the sleep from my eyes

Steps
04:51
|
|||
I can recall
The lecture hall
Steps
Not knowing the import of the day
I chose the seat
You were asleep
Yet
It was always going to be that way
Be that way
Far from alert
Hawaiian shirt
Kept
All conformity at bay
At bay
St. John's hunt to find
A pool tournament prize
Being alive
Running down the south spine
Just to make some time
Battle of the bands
At Kanteena and
As we watched it
Made the most awkward mosh pit
Formed of me you and Pav
(I can recall
The lecture hall
I chose the seat
You were asleep)
I had thought I might
Collaborate sometime
But the moment I heard
Static and INSERT COIN
I knew I had to write... (x3)

Electric Life
04:46
|

My dopamine
Tight rope 'round me
Faux-pleasure
Forever
I'm dead alive
Electric life
Connect me
It soaks up time
It chokes my mind
Pervade me
I'm empty
Allow the strain
Arouse my brain
Direct me
I've got some feed in my hand for the soul
It makes me whole
They know my role
It takes its toll
I've got a feeling on demand all the time
Clouded paradigm
I feel sublime
I'm in my prime
It brought me up, don't bring me down i'm so high
I'm dead alive for an electric lifetime
Connect my life
Connect me

Graduate
04:33
|

You're in a coastal town and most already drove off that cliff
Don't go stalling
You chose debt by convention so now have to choose how you'll pay it back
Watcha doin'?
You trip into a blizzard and your vision is severely obscured
Which way are you heading?
Your opportunity pool will be stagnant by February

Colliding
05:14
|
|||
Move in channels
Watch as life unravels
Steadily
Being born before being mourned
Is it all preformed
Destiny?
Egg collision
Leads to cell division
Meant to be?
We all move like atoms
Collide and interact our whole life
We form bonds when we grow fond
Then the cycle starts again
Can't predict how it'll pan out
But no doubt you'll find out
Since arriving on the plane, so kaleidoscopic,
I just collide along the way
Kaleidoscope array
Collide and hope I don't die

Intense Dreaming
03:49
|
|||
Oh oh oh oh it was all a dream
I'm filled full of fulfillment and pride
(Pried my soul open and pried inside)
Sighed a seismic sigh of contentedness
Nestled in my sheets unaware of this
I have purpose and no boundaries
Reasons to rise up and carry on
On cloud 9 8 7 6 5 4
Fall to reality as it starts to pour
I'm arriving in my writhing when I say
Oh oh oh oh it was all a dream
Waking moments
Fake bestowments
I'm arriving in my writhing when I say
Oh oh oh oh it was all a dream
Lying trying arising
Eyes sting: lighting's uninviting
I'm requiring self-esteem
Oh oh oh oh it was all a dream

Being Alive
03:44
|
|||
Me and some friends sat up in the trees and made a little fire but the warden found out, kicked out
Often we’d go there, up in The Hills where we were all Abel to feel alive all Weeknd, don’t end
We’d play a variant of dodgeball and illegally downloaded songs
In the pool by day, and by night: card games with my friends from the site alright
Most of my mates went swimming in a lake, spent time in the freezing water off the main track, no looks back
Through a small cave, we slid on rocks bravely, then headed West singing Kanye on the way
I went mad on the ad libs as we passed on the mountain path
Some sections I ran up but that fast tired me out so I gave that up
I don’t want just to survive, I’ll spend my life being alive

Mind-Body
05:46
|

Is all we know material
And given time we'll understand our minds?
(What's mind? No matter
What's matter? Nevermind)
AC and electrolytes
Govern our electric lives
What could spark the spark?
The current in the heart
Or can the mind and the soul not be
Identified with the physical body?
Does their indivisibility
Cause a clear cut duality?
What's mind? No matter
What's matter? Nevermind
Is mind intrinsically in all things?
Can we find where matter ends and mind begins?
Who are we to know?
And should a consciousness of sorts be
Added to present a new ontology?
Who are we to know?
No-one can ever win
Philosophising
Maybe the human body exists
Only if a mind is comprehending it
Who are we to know?
Since our reality's a construct
Which relates to ideas and perception but
Who are we to know?

Sofa Men
03:32
|

Back to Dallas road we're down in the basement
Which was, given the time, foreseeably vacant
With the window looking up to the pavement
Got no bed but with the sofas adjacent
We constructed me a fine replacement
We were never complacent
All the ideas were latent
But the work ethic and pace meant
They developed from nascent
The transformation was blatant
A few hours of day spent
Now you are hearing where they went
The blizzard is dying down
And vision is less obscured now
Pathways being found
Goodbye to the coastal town
Now we've left LA1
That whole era has been and gone
We missed it while blinking
Now I'm thinking...

Hardship, cracked deck but hope you're not rejecting
What to expect when you're not expecting
Hitches, rely on time it will fix em
Couldnt write it, stranger than fiction
How life can turn on a sixpence
And defy any prediction
It works the best
In hopelessness
Relation ship-wrecked but hope you're not neglecting
What to expect when you're not expecting
Take on board how to tackle
Swapping that glass to half full
Notch yourself up and travel
And watch as life just unravels
Magnetism to
Help it find you
