Why do I resemble a laboratory rat unnamed? Built and borrowed, a landmine, faltered... oohhhh, ahhhhhh... Why do I inhabit, this habitat I did not build? Cold and lawless, a horse farm, traveled... oohhh, ahhhh... And I would imagine, what I could say to bring you home... Perhaps I can trust my memories after all...

Listen here, I'll tell ya what to do, and later on what to say I do this out of love, don't want ya to feel uncomfortable. How is it that what we need is often what we lack? Get down here, don't want ya to hurt yourself. Just, stay down here. It really ain't so bad. It's not so bad, it's not so bad. How is it that what we need is often what we lack? -I could not hear you, over the noise. How is it that what we need is often what we lack? -I could not hear you, over the noise.

Trinity Flux 04:11
Yeaheaehah I've been around for too long, I can't even tell the meaning of my my favorite song I can't see with all the lights gone, as the music passes through me. At night I go between the breath, I can't even say the things I wish I would'have to incur this debt And all I know was born of past lives, using words and sayings I did not create. It's the Trinity Flux It's the Trinity Flux It's the Trinity Flux theory! Yeaheaehah They try to teach what can't be taught, they try to sell what can't be, can't be sold or bought All the things we do to believe what we want, the goal has made us crazy and our soul is lost. It's the Trinity Flux It's the Trinity Flux It's the Trinity Flux theory! (unintelligible blather that may have to do with Billy Bob Thornton.)

The caramel aesthetic, the start of something new. The caramel aesthetic, What to do if I can't even choose? When I broke through to what I though was the truth, it begged the question: What to do, what to do, what to do with myself, if I can't even choose Barbara Sanders?! The secret reptilian, psychopathic force, The secret reptilian, psychopathic force, Their freaking mid-brains don't even work right, But they're still in charge. The evolutionary bottleneck of society, bolsters right on me! I've been a slave for more than most of my life, but now I've seen how they being, how they give me the blues And I can't even choose, by the bastards!! The secret reptilian, psychopathic force, The secret reptilian, psychopathic force, Their freaking mid-brains don't even work right, But they're still in charge. The Bilderberg players of the monetary game, The Bilderberg players of the monetary game, Their economic fallacies are worthless, But they're still in charge. The evolutionary bottleneck of society, bolsters right on me! The caramel aesthetic, the start of something new. The caramel aesthetic, What to do if I can't even choose? I had the choice not to choose, but I couldn't decide, what to do was right in front of my eyes, but I could barely see. I'd been silenced, blinded by a gypsy breeze. Still water in my veins, things will never be the same again. And I ventilate my overstanding of what it is...

I'm tired of eatin and shittin and pissin I don't wanna do it any more It sucks! The son of man once told me, y'all can't never live on bread alone Ever since the garden of eatin' I've been tryin to fill this hole It's like it never ends, still try to fill it up Sisyphus, my friend, I'm greetin I'm tryin to push it up. And then I met a man name Kirby he claimed to never eat said he lived on air and sunlight, like a plant that nazarene'ed I knew right then and there, I had to give it up I'm addicted to food and water! I'm tired of eatin and shittin and pissin I don't wanna do it any more It sucks! Eat! Drink! Eat! Drink!

I've seen weird places I've seen the dives holy mosely aes sedai, eyes that climb... I've worn enough of your body salt your body salt was extra crispy and maintained. And with disgust, discussions reigned with iron fists and hurricanes, I'm not sure why I'm slave to brain I'm not quite sure, I'm slave to brain. I've worn enough of your body salt your body salt was extra crispy and maintained.

When I noticed I was here, didn't think that I could bear the thought of you Never take me, I am just a single fish, living wrickedley among the seatry dish vitamin d and scurvy are never meant for me bastardization of mystery! Never take me Please create me! When I noticed I was here, didn't think that I could bear the thought of you Never take me, I am just a willowed brat smelling of frog, inside your petri vat petri's all the same killing what you will, don't even try to be! Never take me Undertake me, Please create me! When I noticed I was here, didn't think that I could bear the thought of you Never take me!

They like to talk at night They like to talk at night even though I made a .gif, I don't remember anyway sometimes it don't feel right. They lick the silver spoon They lick the silver spoon even thought they all drive cars I don't think they'll go too far so much for the moon Lights and Escalades Lights and Escalades you can ask to pretend and they'll still whip out their pens one more last charade All this fine debauchery is making me want to say come back to me Don't be alarmed now I'm done pretending that what I've been is what I'll be. I've been bought and I've been sold, like a bath salt on a toe'(d) don't know what I'll be.

somebody once told me I was dumb, but I could'nt comprehend what they meant by the asking I didn't even know what to do, internal recourse maximizes what I've been through oh, buddy boy wants to play somebody once told me what to say, but I didn't understand what they meant by the saying apologize for what I am not, screaming a banshee shrieks as it rips through the tough spot oh, buddy boy wants to play solitude or misdirection mastery or self deception eagle eyes are feeling senseless state-body tells you what you can do sell me your soul, relinquish control and they'll free you but mandated freedom's what you will get, sell me your soul, relinquish control and you'll get debt oh, buddy boy wants to play don't be nice, the bistro is a jackass!

(yah yah) see me, i've been so realized and vain and me, who's lived, against your company I see now, it's been me, not just them seems like I've been, completely unrealized I only see where I'm from in time we'll know how, it was that I came to be unreal and untarnished yet so believable... seems like, seems like I've been (yah yah) But time it tells and time it sells quarter lies. Oh the younger, the lightning side the elderly master sits and writes oh, the kingdom, the astrolights, the aftertaste of resurrection day what is faith but surprise? and what is belief but the shutting of the eyes? (yah yah) seems like i've been completely unrealized.

losing face, claymation race, you must be right name in the lights but what your saying seems deeply misinformed. like a story to my ears. bored of the same, stop motion game, solar roadways, would fix all the shame... but what your saying seems deeply misinformed and what you claiming is chronically forlorned and what you selling was built one day to break. like a solvent in the air.

there a house a top a hill where all the people eat the flesh of the memories they try to hide a place where instability thrives and resides come with me and i'll show you where to go where to lay your shoes which door to enter through come with me and you shall see but only if you trust enough with your soul enough to fall into the whole of the earth into the whole of existence there's a man with a gun at the end of every road your on his aim is good your talk cheap cheaper than the air you breathe while you sleep. and this man he's not your friend he'll do everything he can till you meet your end and this man he's the one to blame for putting you into this place from whence you came into the earth into the whole into the whole of existence into the the whole of the earth into the whole of existence

I see no end no sacred or revealed and through the scanner the secrets shown appeal to lies ohh, we've all appealed to lies sitting by the english shore I bleed a way for rain to come while I sing and singing songs the sunlit dream the center brings me waves for me to learn living like the wrinkled say I secretly oppose that from which I speak and lickinginlungsh the lampost do I make sure why I'm here cause I'm like a shark I see no end, no sacred or revealed and through the scanner 1147 souls... ohhh, we've all appealed to lies blue base turret destroyed I don't recall your name but I'm sure it's nice and talkingintoungues the moone aligns the center's why I'm here I watch it break my rebellious nature cures me after all and I'm not sure that I'm human after all cause I've been sleeping on the floor now all along my rebellious nature cures me after all

you take my heart and leave me open to the earth before I'm done you take my ears and whisper wonders in my head and then I'm done simple world... What appears to be dead, is often most alive the soil is a burial ground and the corpses walk you take my eyes and bring me back to what I've missed it's been so long... you take my hands and wrap my fingers around your waist, I never knew what they could do... What appears to be dead, is often most alive the soil is a burial ground and the corpses walk see or hear no evil dredgin down the drain, I've been here since you were born and since before the seasons came how will you decide which way to go? drainin since the end of time a millions ways a thousand whys it's like I can't approach it still not giving in feeling solace, on the run facing facts the midnight comes bringing back the sunlit dream the dramamine it gives me hell I cant go back the freedom spell has got me by the sinew now...
