Plankton 03:14
We just saw the plankton Standing on the doorstep We just saw the plankton They know not to force it The whales unveiled a new flag, but we'd prefer to burn it. With all the errant body bags, they'll stick with the current We just saw the plankton We don't wanna be that suck down low, the salty snow We want all our seeds back! Wanderer, aimless We know not to follow Flowing with the current Will only get you swallowed Drifting in the ocean Involuntary Motion We can't find the plankton dial the number for me We saw the current leading to a fishy orgy We never found the plankton and they never found a notion flowing with the current involuntary motion Drifting in the ocean Involuntary Motion

Wake 03:10
So fast and constant Looking ahead, close and distant An endless view in one direction In what is seen there is no connection Stopping’s all it ever takes It’s never done for sanity’s sake Inching to the end of your days Walking down your narrow hallways The walls are closing in as you go Faster now than you’ll ever know Wanting’s all you need You’re just a fat ball of greed Save yourself, Wake up Wake up from the American dream Life is not what it seems Don’t finish the fight Your goals are outta sight Stopping’s all it ever takes It’s never done for sanity’s sake Save yourself, Wake up &^#$%^&^%&%$%#@%&^&*&^%$#!

Dragon Tails 04:06
Sitting staring at my pillowtop door Think I might have the blues I don’t know you but you smell like pork Can we go get some food? C’mon open the door yo, I can’t wait to get out *sexy moan Going off to visit my tailor I hope he dry cleans my brain If he doesn’t maybe I can get out of here And pet my dragons again C’mon open the door yo, I can’t wait to get out What was that in my drink I can’t feel my face It had a funny taste I can’t feel my face Licking sucking on a beef flavored lollipop Oh look I see my hands I don’t like you so you can’t have my tater tots You will not eat my friends What you lookin’ at dog, there ain’t nothing to see You ain’t fucking with me I will eat your face I’ll put you in your place I will eat your face You ain’t fucking with me I will eat your face I’ll put you in your place I will eat your

Uber Strong Uber soft and dry Uber tissue Broken Pipes Empty grass, no fire Uber issue Dammit, where'd I put my curry? I'm starting to get worried... All my best friends are furry, And they're always in a hurry. They steal and then they scurry, it's beginning to perturb me. But luckily, I'm burly, so it scares them when I'm surly I'm like.. Blaspheme Breath! I've been your saviour for too long Blaspheme Breath! The evil's bleeding through your bones Take a walk to the wilder side of the fountain Sisyphus, could I ride your rock up the mountain? Stop your gnawing on m cable Don't hide under my table I'll turn you into fable, leave you spinning like a dreidel Slice you cross the navel and then load you in my ladle Sincerely hope your able to get cozy with potatoes. Haha Blaspheme Breath! I've been your saviour for too long Blaspheme Breath! The evil's bleeding through your bones It's about time I got you out of here. Do you know why I bought fluffy? So she could present me your heads. I'll take all the carcasses, load em up. Put em in a pot of boiling oil. Got a nice stew goin....I love the way you scream.

Wind Chime 04:08
Sitting in the snow under the chimes. I think about you most of the time I saw the two of you as a whole And when she left you lost control You ask yourself, “is she my lover?” You realize you’re not even sober You ask yourself, “is it over?” Leave no note and we suffer You’re running through the woods, away from emotion It’s looking for you awaiting destruction You find the spot, and climb up the tree You say your goodbyes and the rope sets you free You ask yourself, “is she my lover?” You realize you’re not even sober You ask yourself, “is it over?” Leave no note and we suffer Float on Wind Chime

Day Dreamer 03:38
Don’t think Imma get to know you tonight I just think that you’re a pretty sight Feel like I gotta walk up to you If I’m lucky then I’ll say something cool Take one step and I sit back down, can’t think of something clever to say I see you then I turn around I ain’t feeling good today I don’t wanna make my move I wish I was more of a man This scenario is nothing new, she leaves the bar and I’m like, “damn.” I’m hungover but I’m up at noon All I want is to see you soon I’ll keep dreaming cuz that’s what I do In the end, it’s me the fool Take one step and I sit back down, can’t think of something clever to say I see you then I turn around I ain’t feeling good today I don’t wanna make my move I wish I was more of a man This scenario is nothing new, she leaves the bar and I’m like, “damn.” She’s so fine she seems too good for me All my friends tell me she’s out of my league I wonder if she’s freaky on the bedroom floor Stop day dreaming I ain’t just a kid no more Take one step and I sit back down, can’t think of something clever to say I see you then I turn around I ain’t feeling good today I don’t wanna make my move I wish I was more of a man This scenario is nothing new, she leaves the bar and I’m like, “damn.” I think it’s time to test my luck You only live once, life can’t suck I’m just gonna do it when I see you tonight Finally there, she’s in my line of sight Take one step and I sit back down, can’t think of something clever to say I see you then I turn around I ain’t feeling good today I don’t wanna make my move I wish I was more of a man This scenario is nothing new, she leaves the bar and I’m like, “damn.” She’s so fine she seems too good for me All my friends tell me she’s out of my league I wonder if she’s freaky on the bedroom floor Stop day dreaming I ain’t just a kid no more

Red Room 04:44
In the red room was where we met You’re soft and fair in bright shining light Before you I knew my life was set I learned so much in a night We’ve met before You took another form You drove me insane then You’ve found me again We conversed the only way we knew Blank stares, emotions, and impressions Mom and dad introduced me to you It didn’t help that’s my confession We’ve met before You took another form You drove me insane then You’ve found me again

I’m chasing the high as I speed on down the road Cross the finish line, “it’s not over,” so I’m told I step out the car, cops trailing close behind They’re not too far them flashing lights they blind Firefights are not too fun to be a part of But seeing my enemies go down is what I love I feel so victorious but the fight’s never over Adrenaline rush as I step into my rover I feel so victorious but the fight’s never over Adrenaline rush as I Save the game Save the game, don’t overwrite my name And then my shithead roommate walks in front of the tv Mocking my reactions for his idiot friends to see I step out the car, cops trailing close behind They’re not too far them flashing lights they blind Save the game Save the game don’t overwrite my name Welcome to my world I’m fine, game over (Life’s mine)
