---------------------
"uncanny valley"

be-tween android love
there lies a cadaver victorian
a-part time mechanic
electronic and bent
tooled up for life and spent
and numb from speed

now life recoils

simulate simulate
into the uncanny valley

simulate simulate simulate sim-u-late

between android love

black veil on mirror

there lies a cadaver victorian
simulate simulate

a-part time mechanic

black veil on mirror
electronic and bent

simulate simulate simulate sim-u-late...

---------------------
"bears discover fire"

and now we drive night to sleep night to bed night away night has ebbed
this is how we're reduced, to our math, and our breathing, this is how we're reduced

we're just bears discovering fire, we're just wolves inventing speed, we're just bears out for hire, we're just wolves

now we're heart waxing white, and then we're soul turning gray, and then we look the other way, the other way

this is how bears discover fire, this is how bear discover fire

now we pretend to self loath, like a sign under test, a division of fame, of house arrest, house arrest

calculate our embrace, now we're reduced to a valence of 1 2 1 3 1 4

this is how bears discover fire, this is how bear discover fire, and so we drive the night into sleep, into sleep, into sleep, sleep, sleep

and so we drive
and so we drive
and so we drive, night to sleep,
and now we drive night to sleep night to bed night away night has ebbed

this is how bears discover fire, this is how bear discover fire, and so we drive the night into sleep, into sleep, into sleep, sleep, sleep

into sleep, into sleep, sleep, sleep
into sleep

---------------------
"brief existence"

we were supposed to be brief
but i needed your help before
then we walked 8 blocks to shop
but thoreau just hijacked the floor

---------------------
"war mask"

you fill me with proxy proxy, waste of ego, plethora exoti-co

return me, gutterdrag and all, to plethora exotica

war war please despise me
war war war, war please despise me

crawl down from biology
splice me to the hardcopy
come drape me in fools
where language recants
please fill me with proxy decant

return the mask, of my damaged face, a soul in drag, pockets of disgrace

war war please despise me
war war war, war please despise me

come drape me in fools
where language recants
please fill me with proxy decant

return me, gutterdrag and all, to plethora exotica

war war please despise me
war war war, war please despise me

war war please despise me

"pleasure of vectors"

return to landscape and return to truth
return to landscape from here on out
return to landscape and return to truth
just a digital effect from here on out
pleasure vector pleasure vector
return to landscape and return to truth

just a digital effect of slow love
pleasure vector pleasure vector
from here on out
return to landscape and return to truth
and share my animation from here on out

return to landscape from here on out
pleasure vector pleasure vector from here on out
pleasure vector pleasure vector
pleasure vector pleasure vector from here on out
and share my animation from here on out

"emerge"

take me to the mist
emerging with clarity

----------------------
"pact of inertia"

i dream myself into wolf
only now i wake in light
clutching this pill of loss
and a glitt-er mo-hawk

it's my heart that is the vampire
always to remain in the shadows
i am the fog of war
and the house of fire

when tattoos attack, silence
just reverse the pact of inertia
when you decide that i am lost
there will be forever destruction

i am the fog of war
and the house of fire

shelter of bones and dreams
gleaming mirrors of drugs and sky
it's my heart that is the vampire
always to remain in the shadows

when you decide i am lost
there will be forever destruction

i am the fog of war
and the house of fire

when tattoos attack, silence
just reverse the pact of inertia

---------------------
"blindsight"

taken

give me that which you've taken
you've taken away
give me that which you've taken
you've taken away

give me that which you've taken
you've taken away

return to me my sight
return to me my sight

you mock me with your disguised disgust
and then you only said if only i had higher life
my sight my way the architect has gone away

give me that which you've taken
you've taken away

return to me my sight...

where is this, if only i could pleasure you, no you wont
then you say, that isn't true, about the strata in the sky
do you remain, how you began, return to start, deeper before

----------------------
"wreck"

now is the time you tell me just who you are

the wreck of time and the wreck of crime

and you said you'd be agreeable to be discarded away

the wreck of time and the wreck of crime
the wreck of time

i told you to dump that girl for body manipulation

manipulation, manipulation
man nnnn ipp pu lationion tion

and i said i am available for things i might regret later today

the wreck of time/crime/prevents/of/really knowing manipulation/who you are
manipulation....

----------------------
"zeroville"

back to zeroville
surreal hallucinate
remove all constraints
reduce x to y
now please leave me
corrupt and sold

like days between stations
da-ys between sta-tions

----------------------
"the oldest raver"

old raver
white sneaker
diamond eye
danger sleeper

he is the oldest raver
he is the oldest raver

old raver
white sneaker
diamond eye
danger sleeper

this is my velocity fox
dual youth and scar scrim

he is the oldest raver
he is the oldest raver

arms are flung in flung in
neanderthal neanderthal dance step

he is the oldest raver
he is the oldest raver

---------------------
"parallax view"

this is our scanning, our use of virtual tools

this is how we scan scan scan

return return return my prosthetic

my my my artificial eyes
my my artificial eyes

this is our scanning, our use of virtual tools
this is our scanning, our use of virtual tools
usiiiising virrrtual tools

my parallax view

are you my persuasion, are you my persuasion
or merely dark contagion, or merely dark contagion
or a viral invasion

return return return my prosthetic

this is our scanning, our use of virtual tools

my parallax view

my my artificial eyes
my my my artificial eyes

my parallax view

---------------------
"zombie simpatico"

reflect my graphite double
torn from my throat
a living line of thread
she's forced and pushed
we receive new frontiers

we are simpatico
but, are we zombie?

---------------------
"we remain projections"

your dreams remain imprisoned....
your dreams remain imprisoned....

we remain projections...we-e remain projections projections

find me the dream mechanic
find me the primal force
only ever disentangle
that memory is divorced

your dreams are your prison
your dreams remain your prison

we are the impostors, the rouges the thieves the ones you hate...

we remain projections...
projections... pro-ject-tions....

----------------------
"turn fur into bone"

where's my skeletal diamond robe
let the fur rush into bone
for a soft and showy glow
let us touch and find a home
where's my bearskin styro-foam

----------------------
"2nd self"

body double and aggression, simple animal overt obsession
here am i, second self
return me to my second self
return me to my cold soul
cold soul, cold soul, cold..... ssssss
