Obliterati 03:30
am I insane? have I lost my mind? if this is madness, then why can I see every step along the line? if this is a dream, I want to wake up as a fantasy, it isn't nearly soft or warm enough maybe there is another life and we can be with each other there maybe you will breathe more easily if I change the nature, color, flavor of the air maybe there'll be another time the world won't keep us from each other then if I could think clearly, I would find that all I want is to begin again
2.
the hidden weaknesses are easy to spot nearly cut off the air trying to loosen the know try so hard to ignore what's been taught focusing on what is instead of what is not the wave of nausea; formless, black commanding strict attention the senses overwhelmed by darkness and there is no fighting back give up, give in and only then can you win release your grip let the energy emerge from within
3.
How To Relax 02:00
take comfort in being the smartest one in the forest the place only a god could put in order up until now was taken at a run had to do it before everyone now take some power first they'll doubt, and then they will cower figure out what's important to them and destroy it figure out what's important to you and keep it alive it's just parts working together a million parts working together but only for now

Crosshatch 02:22
things are going ok I'm terrified I'm a wild animal on the highway median it's hard to sleep and the view's not so nice but the land is cheap and the commute is quick a new two hundred neighbors every time you blink if I can't get over this can I at least get out from under this?
5.
you wouldn't understand me I am a machine I have a command of techniques and can connect you to the scene you're so casual in the hallway don't you realize what that does to me? the particular red of a garment it's not something that just anyone would perceive (I know, I screwed up singing that part) just when I think that I'm doing ok again I'm pulled back, ripped right back to reality late nights are spent in the archives ransacking for answers that will set me free then I can start with tracking you down stand from my chair and stride comfortably out and up the street
6.
this hole needs a hammer and nails
7.
if my blood will keep the motor running, plug me in I will take it on to get your fists to open, tear my skin everyone wants answers, I don't have answers, I never did go ahead, extend your anger, I am here, you cannot miss you don't have to keep your hate imprisoned now you'll feel better in reflection I forgive you in advance I was never know for my decision-making skills it has all gone wrong, and I will accept the blame it is all my fault, and I will endure the shame
8.
I wish that I could care I'd love to play the game but your greatest shame, to me is just a blushing shade the awkward silence is not so violent it can't destroy I prefer to think of it as lack of noise and your awful expressions, in visage and language trying hard to be average, but to me, it's unnatural all I see in these people is their capacity for evil divisive devices; incisive, inside us cartwheeling razors and spiralling scissors spinning and weightless in this whirlwind of errors I showed them only what they wanted to be shown did not tell them anything they did not already know as ever, this road leads to another road those colors of yours shining, burning inside, it's all shining, burning
9.
only children and the rich were happy yesterday not even children or the rich are happy today so spit those dirty pennies out right now they won't amount to anything throw them away your blanket statements won't keep me warm the gravity of the situation can't hold me down I just can't shut it off I can't just shut it off I try and I try to be rational but I can't explain what's happening to me
10.
Snake 02:28
check the clock when it pulls your eyes watch the license plates on the highway check the scales, they never lie to the top, they writhe it could change our lives, we could see the others the ones who don't have names but there's no way to know if they're on our side at exactly half 474 coincidences too frequent to ignore I can only assume they can read my mind the Snake it runs through all our lives turn your face away from me I don't want to hurt you there's a cloud all crawling on me and I'd prefer it if you'd stay the way you are
