Leisure Under Guard

the mind is not yours
the way you thought it once was
that was too uncomfortable
constantly feeling like a whore
now they've strapped you down
put your leisure under wraps
don't worry about rising up
it is easy to live at the bottom
Mc Ride
(Human achievements, I find some things, like, of course I like Jimi Hendrix. Of course. There are others. But I’m not really into just naming them off. that would be boring I’m not really that inspired by human achievements.)
succumb to the system
with absolutely desires
cause being addicted to something
is better than nothing
take the ones we put in your hand
take it
take it hard
you'll love us for it
you'll beg for more and more
our lives are not yours
the way they said they were
freedom was a farce
always ripping at our cores

Nervous Rain
03:01
|

they thought they heard rain outside
it made them nervous, but they didn't know why
they wished that toilets weren't loud when they flushed
what nervous, anxious wrecks they were
their habits aren't indicative of the people that they are
they wish they didn't have to go slave away
they'd rather the days they have be enjoyed
they'd rather the days they have be enjoyed
and they can have wholesome lives
of individuality without worrying all the time
they'll be there for us if anything ever happens
they'll be there for us if anything ever happens.
and all these anxieties they bring to the surface
over the little things really stem from the past life (father)
and of course I do know how empty they are
they're clinging to the last breath of the old life
to give theirs now
any sense of meaning
any sense of life
any sense of meaning
so do not disturb their peace
do not tell them lies
they got lies of their own
they don't need yours anymore
(repeat)

if you can't tell me what the meaning is
then there really is no point
if I can't tell you what I am inside
then I may as well be dead
devendra banhart:
that line blows my mind... talk about how generous and loving and caring they are. saying look i love you and im so into you that i want the best for you and its really just about fixing the relationship you're in that isn't going so well... that's fine, i'm not gonna judge, i'll get that message for you, be the middle man. that's another level of profundity
Won’t you see my life, the apples the birds the trees
In the country town
the country town
where the animals do die
if you can't tell me what to feel inside
then I may as well be dead
In the country town
In the Country town
where I am blind
Don’t you see my life?
Don’t you see through my eyes?
The apples
The birds
the trees

Intestinal Grab
04:20
|
|||
|
Our intentions were unknown
though you fight against lust when it shows up
will you let go, of the questions
that do haunt?
risking our hearts
for another round of sorrow
I hope you'll dance with me
You grabbed my intestines
as you walked up the path
and asked if this was the right place
i said does anyone really know?
I forbade my heart
though together we loved the (child)
it was all a dream
the greatest dream I ever had
but it was actually real
and now im wishing that I hadn't been numb like I always am
you should have told me I am not a liar
not a fake
M GIRA
"it's not like we're playing renditions of regular pop songs. so the music is very dependent on the dynamics and intensity with which we play. sometimes its just one chord we're playing, but there's lots of different shapes and notes in that chord, which requires a lot of focus and just drilling it into your head"

Insomniac Justice
02:40
|
|||
|
Justice served to the boy who lied
now he's awake all night
can't keep his eyes shut tight
Visions flash like strobes in his mind
Chaos unimaginable
Like a baby, with his sucky suck,
an Impressionable mind,'
It's difficult to lie still

risking dimes, a favorite coin
foregoing tricks, rather a blue light
that empties and spills into our lives
burned holes that light my plight
seventy miles flying in my face
because I approve of the distance
a black hole
a negation of what is right
because a risk is better in the right light
please stay home
where I'm afraid
of the void
in the near sight
too many times I have contrived
everything in my life
repeat chorus
no more lies in this life, its too short
for such inconsistencies
tell yourself what you want
then go and retrieve it for yourself
