Dystopia 03:20
Geriatric toys and the feelin that yer holding on tight Epidemic noise and the feelin that yer losin yer mind The drugs that you abuse come in prepackaged assortment and doses The medicine you use can be smoked or inhaled up in yer noses We're never gonna make it alive In time Epileptic rules and the feelin that you won't last the night Crushed the office pool and the feelin that yer doin just fine The recreation crashed and we all gave a glorious ovation Then someone stole the stash and we all just lost our shit We're never gonna make it alive In time

Everybody's talking bout how life is like A little bowl of cherries with the ice cream In the middle and it's so exciting I just Maybe wanna tell these people why don't You shut the fuck up They have never faced the existential weight Of knowing that no matter how you talk Or walk or play or sing it's never been Acceptable for people and yer never gonna Be good enough So take me All the way Back home Sometimes when I take a bath my nostrils barely Break the surface for a couple seconds I can Only comprehend one thought it's how painful Is drowning is it really everything that they say? The biggest reason I have never truly made a plan For it is I am scared shitless of a total fucking Fucking up and I'll be just a loser who Can't even see his own death through So take me All the way Back home

The red-eyed daredevil takes his govt issued amphetamines Ultra psilocybin intravenously released on command Leaving Sol system instantaneous trip Praying dear God please let us return home We ride these waves to God knows where We sure don't know we sure don't care Our fevered brains are black and blue You think we did all this for you What the fuck is that? Looks like the hand of God Can't be a constellation cause it's coming closer Disembodied voices instruments at max If we don't survive then tell everyone goodbye We ride these waves to God knows where We sure don't know we sure don't care Our fevered brains are black and blue You think we did all this for you

The Coil 02:55
No fun clarity of existence is coiling I'd run but this addict wouldn't feel a fucking thing Do this don't listen to shouted words from outer space Big brain whispering please don't let this angst go to waste Tightening Tightening Tight Never give up Don't you Call me sentimental or a liar it's the same Can't put out the fire of the shared trauma and shame Dislocate your feelings and the mouth who backs you up This vain mediocrity is code for giving up Tightening Tightening Tight Never give up Don't you

about

This is the story of the Astronaughts. This is Few Ming's testimony. This is drug abuse. This is binge drinking. This is addiction. This is depression. This is anxiety. This is becoming the king of ghosts.
