Apathy

Iʼve had enough
Canʼt waste
time on petty stuff
Oh, time
Serious and cool
How am I supposed to
compete with you?
Hi!
Smart Centre babies with your
sweet and sticky cries
Choking back the candy
that mother buys
Hi!
Closing down the parks while
daddy closes his eyes
Theyʼll tell you to be good now
but you better get wise
Apathy is not sexy
Apathy is not sexy
Apathy does not succeed
Apathy does not do anything
It just lets us sleep
Yeah humans, weʼre so evil
Brains that often seem medieval
and even when we see that string
and feel the tug, we canʼt help but sing
but Iʼm tired of sitting cynically
knowing people just like me
would come together if we knew how
so I want you letʼs do it now like
Hi!
Imperfect beings have a
fragile sense of pride
Makes it all too easy
to stand aside
Cute!
Look at just how
straight she shoots
If we know the answers,
we shouldnʼt stay mute
Iʼve had enough
I know Iʼm not alone
It might be tough
but itʼs better than turning into stone
Apathy is not sexy
Apathy is not sexy
Apathy does not succeed
Apathy does not do anything

Phones

My votes go nowhere
but my mind is tapped
They know what I want
and exploit that
I know that I like you
but they donʼt know how much
If I keep you a secret
youʼll be safe from their touch
Phones!
I donʼt need to prove to anyone
I donʼt need a few
I only need one
Tell me what you need now, baby
and Iʼll make it right
Tell me what you need now, baby
whatʼs on your mind
Tell me what you need now, baby
cause youʼre the best
Tell me what you need now, baby
I know youʼre stressed
Tell me what you need now, baby
and Iʼll make it right
Tell me what you need now, baby
whatʼs on your mind
Tell me what you need now, baby
cause they think they know
Tell me what you need now, baby
Iʼll make it, Iʼll make it go
Hey CSIS, hey CSIS
Ha-ahh ohhh, ah-huh, ah-huh

Oddities

I don’t have a hundred thousand dollars like they do
To push my power onto you

To take you by your slender throat
and breathe in words you didn’t know
would ever find a way inside of you

A hundred thousand dollars in the well
to keep me under their spell
to get ahead at any cost, if I’m not lustful I am lost
I die with them or die inside a cell

It’s a little bit odd
I help to build their fairy tales
It’s just a little bit odd (odd)
we know that’s all they are
It’s a little bit odd
we know we’re linked to everything
It’s a little bit odd (odd)
that they think this could last for a moment more

Be The Reaper

I feel bad
for your kids
still theyʼre much too young to notice
live your life
under names
that remove you from your person
Keeping busy
goals for every day
I get drunk from the illusion
We choose to use our bodies this way
Teaching desires
learning the shame
Trading our tokens
laying the blame
I want to be the reaper
Touch your clothes and watch them
crumble
I like to be the creeper
peeking into you
watching what you do
Ahh, do you feel the same?
Grasping at shadows
There but itʼs empty
like painting on sparkles
Shining in vain
I want to
I want to
I want to
I, I
I think it slipped right past me once
past me twice
If I try hard enough
I might open my eyes
I want to be the reaper
Touch your clothes and watch them
crumble
I like to be the creeper
peeking into you
watching what you do

Meet Me At The Arcade (ft. Vandal Moon)

You download all my love
CPU kill-screen youʼre all Iʼm thinking of
Kiss me hold me
Say youʼre sorry
Be my avatar tonight
Alright
(Ah, oh, ah ohh) Who you think youʼre
trying to play?
(Ah, oh, ah ohh) My heart doesnʼt open
that way
(Ah, oh, ah ohh) Who you think youʼre
trying to play?
(Ah, ah, ah ahh) If you need me Iʼll be at
the arcade
A B X Y Y X B A Y B A X Y A B A- Oh!
Alright
You really wanna know me?
I bet you think you own me
You think you can dispose me?
I am immaterial!
(Ah, oh, ah ohh) Who you think youʼre
trying to play?
(Ah, oh, ah ohh) My heart doesnʼt open
that way
(Ah, oh, ah ohh) Who you think youʼre
trying to play?
(Ah, ah, ah ahh) If you need me Iʼll be at
the arcade
(A B X Y Y A B X Y A B X Y A B oh…)

End Of Your Life

(At the end of your life)
Iʼd like to ask you
what you do with your money
Do you buy oil and honey
and silver dangly things
Could you make a portrait
with all the things that you own
And just how much would you cost
Could you give it all away
At the end of your life
Was it worth it
Standing tall and acting cold
At the end of your life
Will you miss it
Feeling warmth from another soul
I will break you
into a human being
Iʼd like to think that
youʼd want the same for me
Baby, sʼokay
Thereʼs some things weʼre bound to get
wrong
Thereʼs many prizes
to make us play along
At the end of your life
At the end of your life
I donʼt know if it is
At the end of your life
Was it worth it
Standing tall and acting cold
At the end of your life
Will you miss it
Feeling warmth from another soul
At the end of your life
Was it worth it
Standing tall and acting cold
At the end of your life
Will you miss it
Feeling warmth from another soul, ohoh

Alive

I never hated you
Itʼs not your soul, itʼs just the things that
you do
and I have hated myself
but understand Iʼm a product of a
system but itʼs time to recognize
What I oughta do
Giving fucks doesnʼt mean youʼre a
pesky SJW
Kiss me, Iʼm not dead yet
Iʼm just tired of feeling dead inside
Do you feel alive?
Do you feel alive?
Do you feel alive?
Do you feel alive?
They like to call us trash
Lay bodies down to waste
We now confront the past
While they race off to space
They've tried to sell us death
and they argue that we asked for it
Once forgotten now drumming in my
ear
Somebodyʼs gotta do it so shake away
the fear
Do you feel alive?
Do you feel alive?
Do you feel alive?
Do you feel alive?
Do you feel alive? (I feel I feel alive)
Do you feel alive? (I feel I feel alive)
Do you feel alive? (I feel I feel alive!)
Do you feel alive? (Yes yes yes yes yes
yes!) Ah!
Kiss me, Iʼm not dead yet
Iʼm just tired of feeling dead inside

Okiya

Okiya
my sister
a coffin
to put me away

Okiya
my system
a network
a metal embrace

Trust

Felt right in the moment
in the moment it was okay
Hold on just remember
all the words I didn't say
And it was accidental
that I let you speak
and I was under stress
and I was feeling weak
It was dumb of me to think that no one
else would feel that way
You caught me at the break of day
Don't you look at me like that
I promise I'm coming right back
Don't you look at me like that
Do you trust, do you trust I'm not an
animal?
(Chorus:)
If you love me
And it feels right
Why am I afraid to tell you how Iʼm
feeling inside?
If you love me
Like a real man
Why does it feel like everything is out of
my hands?
If you love me
But you donʼt care
Banking on the fact I said Iʼd always be
there
Do you trust, do you trust Iʼm not an
animal?
Being a real girl
Means you're stuck in the real world
Kept myself sedated
Thinking this was all Iʼd ever know
Thought that we might take off
Get away from our hometown
If I walk alone though
There would be no limits to where Iʼd go
Don't you look at me like that
I promise I'm coming right back
Oh, oh, donʼt you look at me like that
Do you trust, do you trust I'm not an
animal?
(Chorus x2)
Oooh
Iʼm not an animal
Iʼm not an animal
Iʼm not an animal
Hoo-oo-oo-ooh

Change Alot

Weʼve parked our station here for good
Hold on much longer than you should
Theyʼve kicked the sand a thousand
times
Repeat the cycle, wipe your eyes
Too much to lose
when might they fall
Iʼm here to stay
Iʼm standing tall
Heart full of flames
wonʼt let it die
I canʼt deny
Oh, I donʼt wanna change alot
Oh, I donʼt wanna change alot
Ah
Iʼve been careful
to find the truth
not too eager
whenever it might hurt you
hurt you
Now that Iʼve glimpsed this place
I donʼt wanna look away, ah
Too much to lose
when might they fall
Iʼm here to stay
Iʼm standing tall
Heart full of flames
wonʼt let it die
I canʼt deny
Oh, I donʼt wanna change alot
Oh, I donʼt wanna change alot
Oh, I donʼt wanna change alot
Oh, I donʼt wanna change alot
(Change alot) Ah

I Can’t Wait

We used to drill for water
now itʼs breaking down the door
Itʼs laughing at our borders
and changing your décor
Itʼs just the place you live in
A box upon the ground
Its value is imagined
but your being is profound
(Chorus:)
Oh, I canʼt wait
Oh, the system degrades
I can try to tell you, tell you
What you already know
Leave something for me
Have something to show
We let them drill for money
A hole into the heart
Convert it to a substance
That rips us all apart
You have behaved correctly
Now come and claim your prize
Theyʼll speak at you directly
And look towards your eyes
(Chorus x2)

Bug

I wear the clothes
and the mother comes after me
I wash the floor
and the lenses keep track of me
and the lenses keep track of me

Spider on the wall
was calling me by name
her fragile little webs
grew too dangerous to stay
She looked into my iris
crawled inside the hole
I plucked her from my ear canal
she thinks that I’m her home

You own the house
does it mind when I make it creak?
I have a bed
and I think I sleep
The directives are growing weak

Oh,
must we pretend?
Oh,
must we pretend
that we’re so different?
