I had a bad idea once that nearly got me killed I let my better judgement stand and I regret it still I had a bad idea I feel you will meet me in the middle of a pile of twisted steel

little creatures are running around in circles watch and wait for the day to change there's long day, short day as we know and see them in tiny rooms, spinning wheels we'll wager on a gentle hand a better kind of human hand a greater thing we understand working on a plan little creatures roll on to their backs and perish watch and wait for the the day to end there's a long life, short life, as we know and see them oh merciful miracle!

broken ladders I've failed to grapple on hoping that I'll be tape unravelling what's the matter I heard you chatter like some mad hatter it's quite unflattering but I won't be confounded I won't be confounded one good idea leads to many but if we're so free of wooden frames we have broken ladders I've failed to grapple on hoping that I'll be tape unravelling underwater the colors aren't so bright so tape me up and say... I know that what i'm seeing makes sense if taken only it's own context what's that? a loose end on a roll of tape a mother knows and yes the men who built those pyramids know but they aren't saying

I am concerned about the way these days are disappearing but I am not afraid! I am concerned about the walls I jump at and keep on hitting but I am not afraid! What could go wrong, I'm told to ask to myself Then when I'm done, I suppose I'll ask to myself What's that you say? Those thoughts were stray So I'll tell myself I'm not afraid I am concerned about the warning shots I keep on hearing but I am not afraid! I am concerned about the roadblocks that keep on appearing but I am not afraid! I am not afraid of the test phase I am not afraid of what comes after that and you will see I won't need to be afraid to be wrong

The Complex 05:36
you wanna talk about a god then I will show you a god wanna make me feel small see your bluff and it's called If you wanna see me now I'll be out on the street do ya think this is right let our people decide honestly I don't expect much talking on and on when I could show after you kill me for the ninth time you will notice I am not in the bag after they see me on my time you will notice they can't stay away if you're shaking or salivating

Vernon 04:17
Vernon's name was death and hell followed with him along as he died in his proclaimed gasoline ecstasy there and he vaporized into the air don't want your 15th wife or the 15 years of her life as she cries in your most shameful, nastiest ecstasy here want's not a reason to care Vernon tempted fate as he tilted his head back and laughed friend have mercy here he knew he'd never be jailed plots for his silence had failed in a sanctuary for scum he's protecting with guns ah, fuck off in your bunker we're coming for you anyway not for your genius we're coming to take the guns away not for your conquest we're coming to take the kids away not for your genius we're coming to blow your house away not for your centuries we're coming out to make them end today don't worry we'll find out what's wrong with you

Kill me now before I live too well before my wrongful will is discovered this will bother me take me down to where we failed so well before the gates of hell I'll uncover If I live another day All that I ever asked for unbroken thread to hold on though I am scarred and rope burned help me peel my fingers back there's a signpost telling you nothing at all where elephants go to die there's a sinking rock under bushes that block our paeleontologist eyes I'd give you a flower if I only had hands I guess I'll just sit here in shock I'll sit and wait here until you disappear sink into the ground with this rock

when we realized that infinity was a numeral in ink it was then we fell on a broken branch 'cause we stopped too long to think on the long way down we were wondering if we'd ever climb again we forget, we know but we'll go back to wipe the ugly stain there's a chest in the room with the broken toys and it smells like homespun gold we purged the bile and the vinegar that was toxic just to hold years from now we will break the seal and we'll read and weep with joy at the answers found in a modern sound that continues to annoy it was a nice idea to think so we got the best intentions never say we don't it's always nice to feel we're going forward fast with heads on a swivel wise old owls say the view from this level tells me something else
