It's Been a Long Time
03:06
|

It's been a long time
A little like wine
Not something I thought I'd come back to again
I turned back the clocks
When I opened up the box
A piece of me hidden away like a gem
I guess I'll have another round
So let's hang up all the pictures
Even the ones we threw away
Things will never be the same
After the day that you find
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
And still it's benign
The sharpest parts hurt slightly less than before
Without being numb
To the way the colors run
It's good to know nothing got lost on the shore
Don't have to go to sea and drown
So let's hang up all the pictures
Even the ones we threw away
Things will never be the same
After the day that you find
It's been a long time

I'm gonna get a Neuromod today
Just adding colour to a life of grey
It's so amazing how far we have come
Never been happy with myself before
I've had enough of living life this boring
Time to update to a better one
I was afraid of being left behind
Completely paralyzed but now I think it's time
To change my mind
Well I wasn't born to be this way
But I haven't thrown myself away
I'm different now
I'm just different now
I no longer have to waste my time
Working on my sorry self
'Cause I am different now
I'm just different now
I got another Neuromod today
No need to worry bud, I feel okay
Don't mind the constant redness in my eye
It started out with just a skill or two
A couple talents I could proudly do
But I've a taste for something dignified
Soon I can leave my problems far behind
No longer paralyzed, my future's realigned
Redesigned
Well I wasn't born to be this way
But I haven't thrown myself away
I'm different now
I'm just different now
I no longer have to waste my time
Working on my sorry self
'Cause I am different now
I'm just different now
There's nothing wrong with being me!
I'm the living proof you soon will see!
Like a raging fire straight from hell!
I will never go back to myself!
Thought I was getting Neuromods today
But clearly something must've gone astray
I don't remember having bars for walls
Well I wasn't born to be this way
But I haven't thrown myself away
I'm different now
I'm just different now
I no longer have to waste my time
Working on my sorry self
'Cause I am different now
I'm just different now
Well I wasn't born to be this way
But I haven't thrown myself away
I'm different now
I'm just different now
I no longer have to waste my time
Working on my sorry self
'Cause I am different now
I'm just different now

Vines
04:25
|

The world is getting colder
The closer you get to me
We both know it's kill or be killed
And thus ghosts are never free
My mental state is rotting
There's nothing left to do
(My mental state is rotting)
(There's nothing left to do)
Must take down everybody
And everything I knew
(Must take down everybody)
(And that's including you)
Ashes and time
Mixed in with the dandelions
Living emptiness has taken hold
I see the lines
But I've died too many times
And I just can't seem to let it go, oh
Dark twisted vines
From a world that never shines
This determination's getting old
I've seen the sky
But my feelings fell behind
And I just can't seem to let it go
This lifeless world we live in
Has rules behind the scenes
An endless string of numbers
Managed by cold machines
Looks like you have the power
To start it all anew
(Looks like you have the power)
(To start it all anew)
But in the final hour
Only the vines will make it through
(But in the final hour)
(My vines will swallow you)
Ashes and time
Mixed in with the dandelions
Living emptiness has taken hold
I see the lines
But I've died too many times
And I just can't seem to let it go, oh
Dark twisted vines
From a world that never shines
This determination's getting old
I've seen the sky
But my feelings fell behind
And I just can't seem to let it go
Ashes and time
Mixed in with the dandelions
Living emptiness has taken hold
I see the lines
But I've died too many times
And I just can't seem to let it go, oh
Dark twisted vines
From a world that never shines
This determination's getting old
I've seen the sky
But my feelings fell behind
And I just can't seem to let it go

Shapes
03:22
|
|||
I've been waiting the longest time
For somebody to notice me
And the problems I have become
Riding shotgun in the passenger seat now
Spend a night with the oak and pine
To get away from the concrete lie
Lot of places when we were young
Drying up as the clock keeps ticking by
Everything is falling out of place
Need to get back to familiar space
Keep myself from breaking down into shapes
With you
Deeply wrapped in the red and brown
Because I've run out of ways to hide
Colors all turn to green in time
Unless you're living in a world that's been dyed now
I'm hanging out at the edge of town
To get a grip on reality
There's something living beyond the line
And I think it's started coming for me
Everything is falling out of place
Need to get back to familiar space
Keep myself from breaking down into shapes
With you
I don't want this nightmare to take over me
I will break this after it's done breaking me
I don't want this existentiality
I will take this time to work on fixing me
Everything is falling out of place
Need to get back to familiar space
Keep myself from breaking down into shapes
With you
With you

Ladders
03:23
|
|||
I'll do it, I'll do it again
I'd better do it with all of my friends
It doesn't matter if none of it blends, so c'mon
I'll do it, I'll do it again
I better do it in time for the trends
And when it's over, I'll do it again, so c'mon
Something much bigger then you
Controls everything you do
The problem is nothing new at all
I can't say that I'm surprised
That the winners are despised
Despite being set to rise and fall
And fall
You're stacked on top of ladders, trying not to fall
Begging for a chance atop the silver wall
On the second floor, surrounded by windows
Where everyone can see you taking off your clothes
I'll do it, I'll do it again
I'm gonna do it in front of my friends
They'll have forever but nothing to spend, so c'mon
I'll do it, I'll do it again
I'll find another from which I'll defend
And when it's over, I'll do it again, so c'mon
You put in all that time
Just to watch the others shine
There's no reason to this rhyme at all
If you wish to fix the fault
You should really just revolt
So the matted hair can molt and fall
And fall
You're stacked on top of ladders, trying not to fall
Begging for a chance atop the silver wall
On the second floor, surrounded by windows
Where everyone can see you taking off your clothes
You're stacked on top of ladders, trying not to fall
Begging for a chance atop the silver wall
On the second floor, surrounded by windows
Where everyone can see you
You're stacked on top of ladders, trying not to fall
Begging for a chance atop the silver wall
On the second floor, surrounded by windows
Where everyone can see you taking off your clothes
Tearing off your nails chewing on your toes
I'll do it, I'll do it again
And then I'll do it, I'll do it again
And then I'll do it, I'll do it again
And then I'll do it, I'll do it again
And then I'll do it, I'll do it again
And then I'll do it, I'll do it again
And then I'll do it, I'll do it again, no!

Lay the Ink Down
03:27
|
|||
There's a piece of culture left behind
It's down in the street
It's a feeling intricately designed
And played to a beat
Can't believe the people long before us did this with bones
Started out with the guns, didn't need the bullets
No need to think
Gotta strap on the tank, feel the weight and pull it
Fill it up with ink
I could swear it's like we've gone to platinum from sticks and stones
I could swear it's like we've gone to platinum from sticks and stones
No longer waging war
But we're still keeping score
Just lay the ink down, baby
Just lay the ink down, baby
These oceans spread so wide
But they've got nowhere to hide
Just lay the ink down, baby
Just lay the ink down, baby
With a splash of ink and the clash of colours
The game begins
The crowd cheers as the play-by-play is covered
By both the twins
The two teams are taking turf so quickly, like hardened pros
Now the fight picks up as the teams of four
Start aiming to kill
It's a flurry of brushes and guns galore
It's really quite the thrill
But the winners are decided by how the painting goes
But the winners are decided by how the painting goes
No longer waging war
But we're still keeping score
Just lay the ink down, baby
Just lay the ink down, baby
These oceans spread so wide
But they've got nowhere to hide
Just lay the ink down, baby
Just lay the ink down, baby
No longer waging war
But we're still keeping score
Just lay the ink down, baby
Just lay the ink down, baby
These oceans spread so wide
But they've got nowhere to hide
Just lay the ink down, baby
Just lay the ink down, baby

Work of Art

Got a letter from a dear old friend
Gonna catch up on old times
Reminiscing of the time we'd spend
Using ink to fill the lines
When I got back to the workplace
I could tell something wasn't right
There was something in here watching me
And I couldn't get back outside
Projected lights emphasize the dust in the air
I don't remember that cardboard cutout being there
I don't even know what I'm doing here
Dripping off the walls from a little smear
Wander 'round the halls in the atmosphere
Of this work of art
I don't even know what I'm doing here
Bringing back a shine to the rusty gears
Acting like an improv engineer
In this work of art
I don't even know
Heading deeper into the place
Gonna see what I can find
Inky mechanics filling up the space
I don't know when it was designed
Guess I'll need to start the power
But the means is really strange
There's a sinking feeling deep in me
When the room has been rearranged
I wish I could ignore the corpse just down the hall
I don't remember the day the boarded up the walls
I don't even know what I'm doing here
Dripping off the walls from a little smear
Wander 'round the halls in the atmosphere
Of this work of art
I don't even know what I'm doing here
Bringing back a shine to the rusty gears
Acting like an improv engineer
In this work of art
I don't even know
I'll make my dreams come true
At the expense of you
I'll make my dreams come true
At the expense of you
I'll make my dreams come true
At the expense of you
I'll make my dreams come true
At the expense of you
I don't even know what I'm doing here
Dripping off the walls from a little smear
Wander 'round the halls in the atmosphere
Of this work of art
I don't even know what I'm doing here
Bringing back a shine to the rusty gears
Acting like an improv engineer
In this work of art
I don't even know what I'm doing here
Dripping off the walls from a little smear
Wander 'round the halls in the atmosphere
Of this work of art
I don't even know what I'm doing here
Bringing back a shine to the rusty gears
Acting like an improv engineer
In this work of art
I don't even know
I don't even know
In this work of art
I don't even know
I don't even know
In this work of art

You Should Be a Baker
04:05
|
|||
Workin' hard in the springtime
It was time for a break
I took a seat in the food court
That was my first mistake
A middle aged man turned around to look at me
Without a second thought, he went and took the nearest seat
And said "Sorry, you looked a little like a friend"
I awkwardly chuckled and started to eat
But he insisted on absorbing my time
He asked me some questions, not very discreet
And then I looked in his eyes as they began to shine
He said:
You should be a baker
You should quit your job and learn to bake
Think of all the pastries you can make
When you're thirty-five
You should be a baker
Or work in the deli industry
Forget about the life you wanna lead
And take a page outta mine
I was no longer out in the sun
But I was covered in sweat
That awkward feeling deep inside me
Is something I won't forget
He told me "Working retail's a dead end job"
Which I was well aware, but dude, I ain't no slob
I got projects and goals I'm working hard to achieve
I couldn't keep contact with one single eye
While the other listed off to the side
I'm counting the seconds as they're ticking by
I wish I picked a better place to hide
He said, again:
You should be a baker
You should quit your job and learn to bake
Think of all the pastries you can make
When you're forty-five
You-hoo-hoo should be a baker
(You should be a baker man)
Or work in the deli industry
Forget about the life you wanna lead
And take a page outta mine
This conversation's been just fine
Do you wanna hang out sometime?
Croquembouche solo!
You should be a baker
You should quit your job and learn to bake
Think of all the pastries you can make
While you're still alive
You-hoo-hoo should be a baker
(You should be a baker man)
Or work in the deli industry
Forget about the life you wanna lead
And take a page outta mine

Break the Shadows Down
03:43
|
|||
You're surrounded
But cannot be divided
Deep emotions
That cannot be decided
Inching closer
Right down to the wire
Like a bullet
You take aim and let it fire
Now take a stand and fight
Unleash your inner might
You must face your inner demons and break these
Chains down deep inside
Wake up, and break the shadows down
Conversation
The network's getting stronger
Deep connections
Are there when you start to wander
Feeling closer
Your fortune is realigning
Mix together
The mask you've been designing
Now take a stand and fight
Unleash your inner might
You must face your inner demons and break these
Chains down deep inside
Just wake up, and take a stand and fight
Unleash your inner might
You must face your inner demons and break these
Chains down deep inside
Wake up, and break the shadows down

My Name
03:04
|
|||
Time to make my name
I play your endless game
It isn't for money or fame
My label is not nice or vain
I just do my thing
I've got no complaints
My lyrics can make it or break
Cause this has been my everything
No, this doesn't seem right
I'm not what I once was
And if my name finally dies
I can take all the shame to the grave and be fine
My name is undeniable
My face is undefinable
My fame is unreliable
But my name is
I think I lost it all
At least that's what I see
My tower of cards wasn't strong
I wasn't what I used to be
It's time to tear it down
It's time to light it up
I'll start it from scratch and I think
That it will be more than enough
No, this doesn't seem right
I'm not what I once was
And if my name finally dies
I can take all the pain to the grave
All right
My name is undeniable
My face is undefinable
My fame is unreliable
But my name is
My name is undeniable
My face is undefinable
My fame is unreliable
But my name is
My name is undeniable
My face is undefinable
My fame is unreliable
But my name is

Upside Down
04:43
|
|||
Everything seemed normal at first
Then it hit like a hammer in the dead of the night
First impressions couldn't be worse
With no reason to stammer, we set darkness alight
Something's living inside the wall
Stand by the phone in case they call
There's a darkness within this town
Where shadows reside
From dusk until dawn
When the whole world is upside down
And there's nowhere to hide
You have to hold on
To keep from slipping in the dark
Drop your toys; let's head for the hills
We won't need no protection if we just use our mind
Late at night, it's giving me chills
Suffering misdirection, can't afford to lose time
Read the messages in the lights
Just hope it barks worse than it bites
There's a darkness within this town
Where shadows reside
From dusk until dawn
When the whole world is upside down
And there's nowhere to hide
You have to hold on
To keep from slipping in the dark
If you want us to find you
Give us a sign of where to go
Trust that your friends are behind you
Just listen to the radio
Should I stay or should I go?
Should I stay or should I go?
Should I stay or should I go?
There's a darkness within this town
Where shadows reside
From dusk until dawn
When the whole world is upside down
And there's nowhere to hide
You have to hold on
To keep from slipping in the dark

Chromatic Aberration

Hello
Mister Man-Upstairs
Can you come down here
And look at this TV?
Remote
Has run out of juice
The antenna's loose
And the dials are missing
So I can't turn it on
No, I can't turn it on
Chromatic aberration tends to make it worse
Than if you were there to see it in person
Gotta fix up the connection just to get it working again
Please get it working again
Hello
Mister Man-Downstairs
I'll be right down there
When I'm done with this TV
It shows
Nothing but reruns
And social medians
And times of sophistry
And I can't turn it off
No, I can't turn it off
Chromatic aberration tends to make it worse
Than if you were there to see it in person
Gotta fix up the connection just to get it working again
Please get it working again
Will we fix this all in time?
Clear it from the command line
Wrapped in salt and iodine
We will fix this all in time
Hello
Chromatic aberration tends to make it worse
Than if you were there to see it in person
Gotta fix up the connection just to get it working again
Chromatic aberration tends to make it worse
Than if you were there to see it in person
Gotta fix up the connection just to get it working again
Please get it working again
