A Woman of Tensegrity

Too far behind already
Seems time is up
I'm stretched to breaking point
I've had enough
I need you on my side
Don't wanna just get by
I know that we can thrive
And all we need is... wait.
They only want their guilt assuaged
Wired bars on a gilded cage
Power, beauty, money, fame
The machine's rebuilt to run on rage
Don't you know you were born for this?
Hook the pipes into your wrists
Nothing but efficiency
A woman of tensegrity
They tell you you're pathetic
But why would you want to follow their metric
There's nothing in it for you
So tell me what you really want to do
(Wait, wait, can we slow down?)
Ohhhhh, welcome to the circus
You'll be powerless and you'll bloody well like it
My gut tells me
I have to fix everything
But I'm just one person
Up against trillions of dollars
BURNED TO THE GROUND
TURN IT UP LOUD
NOW YOU'RE NOTHING MORE THAN A FACE IN THE CROWD
TRUST WHAT YOU KNOW
NOT WHAT YOU HEARD
IF THE COPS STOP YOU DON'T SAY A WORD
COMBAT BOOTS
PLASTIC AND STEEL
CAUGHT BETWEEN SKINHEADS AND RIOT SHIELDS
BLOOD IN THE GUTTER
KETTLED AND SMOTHERED
IF I GET CAUGHT THEN DON'T TELL THE OTHERS
You're terrified of the future
I'm terrified of now
You're telling me that it gets better, I don't see it
Torn apart by the downward spiral
Love is dead and pain goes viral
Nobody's got anything left standing to believe in
(You thought you could change the world?
Come on, be realistic…)

Staying Behind

I’ll stay behind again
I’ll stay behind again
I’ll stay behind again
And again and again and again
I’ll stay behind again
I’ll stay behind again
I’ll stay behind again
And again and again and again
Then I see the world has passed me by
Time on my own
Escape the crowds
Yeah I think I’m better off alone
I can’t do it
I can’t do it
I can’t do it anymore
I can’t be there
I can’t be there
I can’t be there anymore
I can’t do it
I can’t do it
I can’t do it anymore
I can’t be there
I can’t be there
I can’t be there anymore
Everything
Go away
I can’t deal with it today
The pandemic let me rest
But oh, I’m still depressed, oh no
Everything you’re gonna say
I’ve already heard it in some way
Hikikomori and more and more
And more drilled into my brain
I want to make connections
I’m not your pity case
I’ve been attacked too many times
So I shut myself away
Imagination
Transverse inspiration
A place for me
That remains as yet unseen

Waiting for the fireworks
That’s just how the night was
People choke the road
There’s signs you should’ve known
It doesn’t happen much regardless
Falling off the table
Legs were all unstable
You say “no-one saw that”
But everybody saw it
There’s cameras there and passers-by
Tryna look like they're ignoring
Got some time to ourselves
Got a moment to rest
It’s been a pretty good day
What do you want to do next?
Walking down Marine Parade
Blueberry Yuzu Lemonade
Higher up than the sun in the sky
Grabbing that glimpse of the opposite side (ohhhh)
Let's spend all our money
I'm flat broke so I find that funny
Crushed paper straw inbetween my teeth
Parking is out 'til we finally leave
(CHORUS)
Spin your wheel
Try your hand
Act like you
Had this planned
Tear me up
Grind me down
Twist my arm
Once more round

UV

In the tunnel of LEDs
The cool of the night
I see your reflection
Bathed in the se-ku-enced light
I need forever
After years of never again
I would be open
If you asked to be more than a friend
The room lights up
When I see you
Hold on to me and never let me go
The room lights up
In UV blue
The world fades out to you alone
I want you to trust me
As much as I do for you
I want to be there
When you break down in my arms
I wish we could stay in this very place
Until we both got sick of it
But that's the thing about a moment
It's only special cause it's over

The Gone

This is what I think about when I can't sleep
All the people I outlived, do I deserve it?
Trying to block out the standby light TV
I'm still here instead of you, I don't feel worthy
Me and my insomnia are so familiar that we're on a first name basis
She is my tormentor and she visits me from most unexpected places
I wanna do you proud
But I just drag myself back down
Too many thoughts in the quiet
Need something strong to block them all out
I've nobody to build a good world with
Where can I grow if I squirm in my own skin
Me and my insomnia are so familiar that we're on a first name basis
She is my tormentor and she visits me from most unexpected places
I see ghosts sometimes
They tell me kids these days
Everybody wants to be famous
Subject shall remain nameless
He can't get what I mean
Won't even try and see
My side? Those days were frightening
Compile the list of sightings
(Better than I do)

please leave.

And maybe the chaos is done
It's always there hanging over
Not news to me or anyone
Enough when quiet returns
No, you're right
Reply would take all day
No, you're right
Relief to finally be leaving
I should go, go, go

- Real -
Daylight opens the sand
Emulate fear to hand
Aspirated expire
Discover the greenfly
Blackout geode
Decipher the codes
Credit limit
Growing with him
Can’t remember my name
Can’t remember the last time I said
Anything that you could be in
See you on the other side
See you at another site
See you in another lifelike
- Bleach -
Blacken my teeth
Blacken my eyes
Blacken my soul
Bloody my knife
I hope you come away
Thinking up the better way to be
You could be what the world needs
What the world needs
PENT UP!
FRESH BLOOD!
RAGE ROOM!
GOD WOUND!
BREAK DOWN!
FREAK OUT!
SCREAM OUT!
OUT!
