Finished With Error
04:15
|
|||
|
I woke up from a dream
Twisted mouth in a silent scream
The truth so hard to find
Is now fading fast from my mind
I feel the terror, now I've finished with error
I can not lose myself alone
To feel the pain, that you can't explain
Until it floats away, no one can know
Now to struggle in the darkest place
With the fear that you can't erase
But you will understand in time
How the grapes whither on the vine
I feel the terror, now I've finished with error
I can not lose myself alone
To feel the pain, that you can't explain
Until it floats away, no one can know

The Year You Were Born
03:13
|

|
Skuttle down the street, rain pours down on me
Talking to a friend, thinks I’m going round the bend
I think he's probably right, I’m scared of butterflies
I can’t ignore the snare, won’t you tell someone who cares
He’s probably fine, he does it all the time
He’s probably fine, he does it all the time
I tripped on up the stairs the office standing there
Napoleon does the samba, surprised, so random
The office cooler chat, run away don't come back
Its such a shame about the weather
I ran out of time, the one true crime
You fumble with hope as the days fly by
The year you were born, you stifled that yawn
The year you were born was just the year you were born
I’m all alone, got no battery on my phone
I’m all alone, got no battery on my phone
I told you all my secrets, and you couldn’t believe it
Not one of them you found, was worth a single pound
Come on and drown your sorrows, we won’t care about tomorrow
Who cares about tomorrow, your sorrow
He’s probably fine, he does it all the time
He’s probably fine, he does it all the time
I ran out of time, the one true crime
You fumble with hope as the days fly by
The year you were born, you stifled that yawn
The year you were born was just the year you were born
I’m all alone, got no battery on my phone
I’m all alone, got no battery on my phone
He’s probably fine, he does it all the time
I think he does it all the time
I ran out of time, the one true crime
You fumble with hope as the days fly by
The year you were born, you stifled that yawn
The year you were born was just the year you were born

Soviet Radar Flop
02:50
|
|||
|
Feel their eyes are watching me, watching me tonight
Such superiority, I'm your champion all right
Yeah I am the truth, and there's nothing left to lose
Join me in my fort of solitude
Soviet Radar flop
You think they're watching you but they're not watching you at all
You think you know the truth but you don't know the truth
My tin foil hat's so light, and it fits so snug tonight
You say I'm losing my mind, but I never felt so right
Reality's a snooze and I cannot wait to lose
Join me in my fort of solitude
Soviet Radar flop
You think they're watching you but they're not watching you at all
You think you know the truth but you don't know the truth
It's my time you better believe it
Your tiny mind just can't conceive it
Soviet Radar flop
You think they're watching you but they're not watching you at all
You think you know the truth but you don't know the truth

I've been working all day, I've been dreaming so hard
I've been dreaming all day, I've been working so hard
I walk outside into the city street
I'm cursed to dream but never sleep
Check the time, don't be late
It's time I took my final lunch break

Lie among the trees
Feel the lightest squeeze
Earth hot to the touch
You never thought as much
Sun Kist bodies enlist
Feel the warm breeze, taste the lime twist
In the blink of an eye, you’re bathed in sunlight
Under crystal blue sky, there’s no need to fight
Find in darkness the truth, your chance now to choose
With the promise of youth, there’s no need to loose
Turn your back on the drama, turn your back now just lean in to it
Turn your back on the drama and let me prove it
You can wear your tux
So smooth to the touch
I’m easier to please
There’s still time to believe
Sun Kist bodies enlist
Feel the warm breeze, taste the lime twist
In the blink of an eye, you’re bathed in sunlight
Under crystal blue sky, there’s no need to fight
Find in darkness the truth, your chance now to choose
With the promise of youth, there’s no need to loose
Turn your back on the drama, turn your back now just lean in to it
Turn your back on the drama and let me prove it
You sit and dream of this paradise
In your fortress of solitude
You work all day, you dream all night
no one ever will notice you
Turn your back on the drama, turn your back now just lean in to it
Turn your back on the drama and let me prove it

After Work Drink
02:49
|

|
Stand in line, wait your turn
So much time, left to burn
Bottoms up wish me luck
All those lemon rinds to suck
So much more, left to learn
Feeling your stomach churn
Its all chaos and confusion,
dignity is just illusion
After work drink, come on join that party
You won't stop when you're fit to drop
Express the pain that's coming your way
Lose track of time, now check your phone
You’re in the crowd, feel so alone
Go to the bar and wait your turn
Feel that sweet tequila burn
In the morning, you’ll regret it
When the first stab of the pain hits
Its all chaos and confusion, dignity is just illusion
After work drink, come on join that party
You won't stop when you're fit to drop
Express the pain that's coming your way
It's coming your way
Espresso martini the pain

Take Me To Your Leader
03:34
|
|||
|
I came to this place, a scene of disgrace
A time out of mind, a slap in the face
I'm finding it hard to see
People are so underhand, to ruin such a simple plan
I know the mind can be a thousand places, but I don't understand the need
Take me to your leader, I just want to please you
I can do this all night, lit up in the moonlight
I got places to be, I got people to see
There are so many things here, now bothering me
I'm finding it hard to breath
I can't seem to form a plan, or hold on to a friend I had
I know the mind can be a thousand places, but I don't understand the need
Take me to your leader, I just want to please you
I can do this all night, lit up in the moonlight
I know what you want, I know what you need
Won't you let it be
Take me to your leader, I just want to please you
I can do this all night, lit up in the moonlight

Almost Out Of Sight
03:49
|
|||
|
I thought I saw you in a movie
I didn’t think it would consume me
I thought I saw you in a new light
But that was only later
I don’t know just why you came over
I don’t understand the truth of it
I was at the max and I know it
I was out of time
Life so sweet
Incomplete
She said, I don’t why but I was so blind
I saw the light and now I feel fine
You flicked the switch and now it’s alright
Now I’m almost out of sight
I thought you said I love you truly
And how I hoped it would consume me
You flicked the switch and it was alright
But now it's never later
I should have known you’d never come over
But I don’t understand the truth of it
I was at the max now I know it
I was out of time
Life so sweet
Incomplete
She said, I don’t why but I was so blind
I saw the light and now I feel fine
You flicked the switch and now it’s alright
Now I’m almost out of sight

This album is well put together; it put me directly into the shoes of the main character caught up in a "Escape From New York" styled scenario. Brilliant electro-industrial with a spoken word narrative to boot!

Tortured technopunk from the backstreets of LA in Blade Runner 2049, or maybe Liquid Sky. Creative and kinda spooky. I like it.
