The girls are refined by pleasures of the state Here we are blind to this ever-shifting rate There’s a line that we’ve tried to sever at the base But we’ve known all this time to keep it straight We ought to find the alter-mind but there’s no time So you rip the shit out of every bit as you lose your grip on the finest position Our eyes have designs on the ever-rising stakes We cry as we try to keep them on our plate In our minds we desire to rise beyond the gates But we’ve known all this time to keep in place We ought to find the alter-mind but there’s no time So we rip the shit out of every bit as we lose our grip on the finest position

All good things will come to pass if those who sting could never grasp us Inside out our thinking lapses when ruses soon distract us And money, you’re so attractive I seem to be your captive And now we’re lacerated by thoughts of those who drain us Those who sting and those who wrap us in sheets of green elastic It’s always been the same, just waiting for some change And money, you’re so persuasive I aim to be your patient But every time I reach you I feel this stinging break through

Exit the Age 03:08
On a modern stage – it’s an eyeball’s curse, find another way into the earth I don’t need a state; don’t need a church, I believe in fate: nowhere to worse Leave the shame, help me keep it away; I’ll be enslaved just a minute away I don’t want to work; don’t want to shave; hurry it up and exit this stage On a dirty line, the numbered hook; on another page, I don’t want to look Don’t need a crown, don’t want to slave; I think it’s time to exit the age All the modern stage it’s an eyeballs curse; I believe in fate – nowhere to worse I don’t need a crown, don’t want to slave; I think it’s time to exit the age

Get me out of here before the light breaks, its all clear in the nightshade But I fear it’s no space allowed Disappear where the light fades, now I’m living with unknown shapes They just found a place they won’t stick out On a sideways bender reach them, always find your present leaking You don’t have to run, just because they don’t believe in sun I’ve been living in the treetops; I went down where the leaves stop It appears that everything reaches ground What tide comes creeping, when a mind swallows even the designs that may seem unbound? In silent mirrors greet them, though you find you’ll never reach them You don’t have to run just because they always seem undone Just because they all recede from sun

No sign of roundness in your drum of lies Seen you flicker as a movie like movies you like Seen you blinking in your bones of white What a picture, what a difference from all that feels right All traditions have to use it; it’s all conditioned on the mood that's right All traditions have to use it; it's all conditioned on the moves they like All positions are amusing; put no condition on them, that’s right No conditions on our muses; it’s our tradition that we move in light

No smile on this town, there’s error on the ground We’re trying to reach it where they never bothered to pound What happens in the ether can illuminate our bounds We’re following a lead of secrets that the powers passed down, let the powers pass The invisible haunts this town, there is evidence all around The invisible haunts this town; we could never get it out Go and leave your research walking under the clouds Turn a corner of the street There's someone throwing mirrors to the ground You’re trying to believe in a voice to gather around Some people will believe in anything if their ego must drown But the evil ego/ego just beds evil bedddo people who will do it ((because they can)). An invisible ____ haunts the town, there is evidence all around The invisible haunts this town; we could never get it out

It’s implied it’s a very hard life; it’s implied you could never get it right But mirrored drives go many miles; always through, they never expire I’ve found a reason to reach you alone at night You’ve seen a distance in the faces long and wide But you live in a mind that can notice the sides unknown It’s implied it’s a very hard life; it’s implied you could never get it right But mirrored drives go many miles; always room to revel in sight What life can navigate an image multiplied? Just look and you will know what they alone provide: Eight delirium lines, hey it’s always a prize you know!

The sun is out and I want some; sudden needs begun In the morning, on the run; looking out for fun Crawl if you slide out of reaches The sun is round; the world is dumb, so our needs begun In a corner, in a slump; it can’t be overcome Fall into sad little pieces I know its sacrifice to be alone at night Can never have it all, but could we try it all for the night? The moon comes up, the sun went down; so our needs confound If there’s doubt the boys are out, the girls are running from They try and defeat the diseases Night is dark, the moon is round; so our needs abound On a corner, on a cloud; everyone let down You know that it’s fine to repeat this You know, in satellites we’re very cold at night Can never have it all, but could we climb a wall for tonight?

Ways to Come 03:12
It’s too late to wait for fun; it’s too late to pay for some It’s too late to say: I’ve been around the sun; I’ve seen a thing or some False kings that rule to realize new ways that stunt Raw needs that never stop; lost dreams that flop Now see a ray of wisdom defeat one blade of prison Dream of ways to come; please don’t wait too long It’s too late to wait for fun; so many ways to come I’ve been inside a box; four years on top Looked out from walled in mazes where freedoms stop We can’t enjoy the props when all release is lost Long sleeves won’t persuade us to keep in their cages Dream of ways to come; please don’t wait too long It’s too late to wait for fun; so many ways to come

Powerstream 04:07
When the powerstream gets low and the wheels don’t seem to roll Will we always feel controlled where the hours squeal and drone? We’ll build a wall to have it all But though we seek to keep it in our streets and feel we can’t go wrong The stream just out of reach moves on and on When the power schemes go wrong, will we ever feel as strong as the streams that seemed to flow – could they ever reach the whole? We’ll never know, we’ll never know But if springs would leak at home when people seek them on their own This industry may lead us all to float Leave the power schemes alone, release the powerstream - go home Let the power schemes go, leave us all to float
