Run, run, an IT world Can't sleep, can't stand, can't cast your pearls Distorted is we, as death draws near All I can see is a red and white sphere Hope, dreams, another scream Accidents happen but there are rips at the seam Hold me down and make me bleed Why isn't it over? I told you everything Database, mainframes, computers galore The information age makes information a whore A sex-stained, back door, citated scam It's just another day in the great program Love me, love me Hold me until you've done me Relief from this torture, you can help me be free Just shut me down and yank out my memory

Imperfection, her affection is so crystalline Her emotion and devotion is so out of line Operating in my dreams now I'm a lunatic Hoping one day we'll be lovers, making me feel sick Losing sight of what I have is not a problem, no All I want is to be with her, not to lose control After all that we have been through, can it ever change After all that we have been through, should it ever change A moment with her A moment with her A moment with her A moment with her A moment with her A moment with her Surrounded by love, you feel alone Surrounded by lies, you know you're alone Surrounded by days, it feels like the night Surrounded by peace, it's always a fight No perfection, our affection isn't worth the time My emotion and devotion doesn't feel as right Operating in her dreams now we're both lunatics Hoping one day we'll be lovers, making me feel sick Losing sight of what I want is now a problem, oh All I wanted is to love her, now I've lost control After all that we have been through, it can never change After all that we have been through, it should never change A moment with her A moment with her A moment with her A moment with her A moment with her A moment with her Surrounded by love, you feel alone Surrounded by lies, you know you're alone Surrounded by days, it feels like the night Surrounded by peace, it's always a fight Surrounded by love, you feel alone Surrounded by lies, you know you're alone Surrounded by days, it feels like the night Surrounded by peace, it's always a fight

Hold me closer like we're going on a date Make me sweat like we're in a parade I don't want a maybe and I don't want yes I just want to see a horse run in a dress Pour some pancake syrup on me, girl Pour some pancake syrup for free, girl Make me want to lick it up off the floor I'll make some pancakes, have a pancake tour Pour some pancake syrup on me, girl Pour some pancake syrup for free, girl Make me want to lick it up off the floor I'll make some pancakes, have a pancake tour Touch my thighs, touch my nose, touch my dog Make a wish, hold it tight, have my dog Keep it coming, keep it rolling, keep it hot Make our bodies moist and dirty, pet my dog Pour some pancake syrup on me, girl Pour some pancake syrup for free, girl Make me want to lick it up off the floor I'll make some pancakes, have a pancake tour Pour some pancake syrup on me, girl Pour some pancake syrup for free, girl Make me want to lick it up off the floor I'll make some pancakes, have a pancake tour Pour some pancake syrup on me, girl Pour some pancake syrup for free, girl Make me want to lick it up off the floor I'll make some pancakes, have a pancake tour Pour some pancake syrup on me, girl Pour some pancake syrup for free, girl Make me want to lick it up off the floor I'll make some pancakes, have a pancake tour

Detainment 01:26
Running from the cops Calling up my pops Told him I was selling every bristle on my mop Said I didn't need to be a clean boy no more Since the gravel's always dirty when they push me to the floor Feels like feels like you're doing them a wrong, son Feels like feels like me Keep your mouth shut or we'll play a little rough So I didn't say a word and they just tightened up the cuffs Had a lot of time to think about what I did Man I'll never walk in broad daylight again Feels like feels like I had it coming at me

Starfields 02:08
Walking down to familiar dreams Calming down from unfamiliar screams Brothers sleeping now, mother's smoking out Let's remember times, and let's all talk about Starfields looking down in the sky at me There's nothing to do but hope they will see Starfields looking oh-so bright tonight There's something to see and it's not a light I could sing to you, but I won't sing again a pressure in me feels like it's come to an end My dreams are there, please just animate Your passion will not fade, only your will to create Starfields looking down in the sky at me There's something to do but hope they will plead Starfields looking oh-so bright tonight There's nothing to see and there's nothing to light

I'm a horse I'm a horse! I... am a horse I'm a horse... Hi, I'm a horse!

A beautiful weblength crafted by man With sunsets as bright as any analog land No more disease and no more pain Just phone calls that interrupt our brains As time draws slower on an infinite road With infinite trees and a static-like snow I ponder on what I once had to endure To say hello or win the war To think I used to be a regular man that lived on what was once not a Dial-Up Planet

Living on the edge of what I wrought There is no opportunities for me Keeping up with time, keeping up with them The pace is just too fast The ticks and tocks are seamlessly Deviating right around the corner And I must confess to some things that everyone must know There are things to do but I won't let go for you These robots will just have to win These robots will just have to win Oh yeah No I will not let go for you No I will not be out This day will never end

Park the car of past and present Hold the door for a peasant Enter with the sons and maiden Walking past returns & trade-ins Obtain a cart so we may hold all of our precious edible gold Picking out what must be bought Off-spring desire that which is not Tell them finances aren't plentiful They do not listen, you're cruel Prepare yourself for self checkout We probably bought too much for self checkout
15.
If there was something you could tell that I'm not If you knew secrets and you told me to stop If there was leverage in this happy world And there is murder in this laughing world I can't believe that's what I ever said I can't believe that's what you ever said Why don't you just hate me Like a liar that you think I am? Why don't you love me Like the liar that you know I am Why don't I just hate me For the things that I know I'm not? Why don't I just love me For the life that I know I've got If we were sisters you would think that I'm cute And you would love me and you'd say I'm like you And you don't mean to but it feels like a show That you're just putting on to make me feel low It's hard to say what everyone else must think But it's impressive how very far I could sink Why don't you just hate me Like a liar that you think I am? Why don't you love me Like the liar that you know I am Why don't I just hate me For the things that I know I'm not? Why don't I just love me For the life that I know I've got
16.
I've made a promise I can't keep And I hope that I won't be seen In the cosmic indifference I have felt There's a chance that it's a good hand I've been dealt And all through the passion and the fights Were some really fucked up bastards in the night With no one to call them on their mobile phones So they interrupted networks all on their own
