Time to get ready, oh you know get ready child. Time to get ready, ready for the end of time. And we're sitting on this little rock and it's lost as it's flying through space. But hey, at least we're first place in the Human Race. Change your language, change the way you speak and talk. Change your language, change the way you think your thoughts. Then you'll realize that you can reprogram your brain and you'll see the world in a more beautiful shade of grey. Open the iris, open to the subtle sights. See the ether, the spirit that dances as you die. Then you'll realize that you are merely the death of a thousand dying stars or what ever was said by that one guy once. [Unintelligible spewing intensifies] (repeat first verse)

How We Met 03:31
Well I was sitting down thinking about the day in which we met, how my I eyes laid upon - ya, my hands they followed next. But that's a story of a different time, ya a different night entirely I guess, so I might as well start right from the start and it begins a lot like this well there I was sitting in a coffee shop drinking back my bitter black. you were outside in the rain coughing smoking shitty cigarettes. So I came out into the rain and i said hey how do ya do you said if you're who I think you are, you might wanna take one two steps away from me before my old man well he's bound to come around and he'll take that pretty little head of hair and he'll through it on the ground and I said hey I know rumors started spreading up like wild fire I've seen all these rumors change hands almost every hour. Eventually came down to the day where you left your old man my friend he's a cousin of mine he came over all the time and we'd just drink that red red wine, all night. and then we'd sit on the stoop and smoke them shitty cigarettes and you'd come out half naked dressed in a blanket and tell me to come back to bed and I'd say hey I know rumors started spreading up like wild fire we've seen all these rumors change hands almost every hour. Eventually came down to the day were we went to Sombrio Beach and we partook in all that Alcohol, THC, and LSD. and my oh me. and then I got real drunk ya I fell I broke my foot, you helped me hobble back to the car for some more beers but we know whats worth what and what was this I know rumors started spreading up like wild fire We made every rumor true in less than an hour. I know rumors started spreading up like wild fire We made every rumor true in less than an hour.

Nothing comes without a cost - a drip of sweat or drop of blood. Trading used up memories of longing just to be any chance at nothingness as a deeper gash in a wound found fresh misplacing all my lust for things - a longing for an end And only once I have found a sacred space will I empty my mouth of my spit And only once I have found a holy place will I lay down my rage Of all the masks worn to this dance - the ballroom's filled with pigs and the dance goes on as my mask grows worn; it grows onto my skin. Yes I am the beast and he is me. My meat is well prepared. Roasted fine on a fire's flame. Come here. Come here. Come here. And only once I have found a reason to hang will I stick out my neck. x2 Know I know I know I know I know. No I, no I no no no no no no Know that there's no I, know there is none. Know that there's no I to know, no, there is not a one I know I know I. I know I know I.

Untitled 06:20
Smoke finally found it's way back into my head, but I was feeling short of breath. Coke finally found it's way back into my blood, but I can never get enough. Hope finally found her way back into my words, but she was just another flirt. Just like to song birds singing over the Okanagan the ghost of this Penticton summer's passed. Cherry trees were pruning me as I plucked fruit free from their leaves and my skin was ever scarred up by the bark. And all the woe. All the woe. Well I took my flame right from the sun but I never thought that I'd be burning you. Ya I took that heat, that fire bright 'cuz I wanted to keep you so warm at night, but I wound up just being a Burning Fool. Well now I'm standing all alone and I'm burning alive, and I wish something just help me win this fight but there's some things you're destined to lose. And oh sweet baby, that holy stuff, How I'd, love to drink your water up for any chance to find myself some COOL. From all this woe. All this Woe.

Pretty head with the wolf Fang grin You got the moonlight on your side Take a breath and dive right in Into the ocean of your mind And when you shiver and shake This anxious day away today Remember when your on your own You're not alone to me Oh no, darling baby girl know your never alone to me. Sunkissed scars on a bastards arns Pride fashioned from a name Passion spent. Not often correct Correction needed all the same But if I am wrong and nobody say Well then wrong shall be my way If you want right well then speak your mind Because I can't hear what you think Oh no, come to think about it I don't think I really give a fuck what you might say Oh no, think about it baby I don't think I give a fuck about what you might think. Star kissed skin with the devil's lips You got a warzone in your sheets Broken wrists found amongst thrown fists Its amazing you can see With eyes bruised black As a brave new moon Alone facing the night You wear the blood of passerbys A chance encounter at lust. Oh no, fucking fighting loving dreaning Baby it's all the same. The same. The same.
