Uncanny Valley

You've lost me in this conversation
With skin pinned over all your faces
Feeling like I'm breathing frozen air
Out there on the cold plantations
Harvesting the population
Where engineers plant souls inside of their heads
Is it my mind?
If only my eyes seem to see
This uncanny valley growing around me
Safe inside the highest castles
Some proceed to take the mask off
And throw the fears they find outside to the wind
Is it my mind?
(In my mind)
If only my eyes seem to see
(Only my eyes)
This uncanny valley growing around me
What's human can't get past the midnight zones of their blue hearts
I feel the homesickness when they're coming down the valley on their finger tips
Don't wake up in uncanny valley
I'm the only one that's left in uncanny valley
We're all just seeds drifting through space
I saw it in an algorithm now it has my face

Radioactive Milk
05:38

She's slipping from my fingertips
I hear the roaring all the time
A shadow in my memory
Is all that's left behind
It drank deeply in the harbour
And feasted on the walls
A fist of brick and splintered wood
That came clawing for us all
A rising sea that blocks the sun
Before its shadow blossoms run
Tongues that whisper soft as silk
While we're drinking radioactive milk
I searched the muddy wasteland
For anything i knew
There was nothing recognisable
In the bare and brutal view
But safe upon a hillside
Protected by their love
The school became an orphanage
And from it comes a melancholy song
Heal the wounds as raw as silk
Crying over things we've spilt
A thousand years of lingering guilt
While we're drinking radioactive milk
As it grew out on the horizon
It was feeding on the silence we had promised to keep
As it moved out on the horizon
We were deafened by the mind games and the roaring wave
A rising sea that blocks the sun
Before its shadow blossoms run
Tongues that whisper soft as silk
While we're drinking radioactive milk
Heal the wounds as raw as silk
Crying over things we've spilt
A thousand years of lingering guilt
While we're drinking radioactive milk
Now it flows out over the island
Weighing heavy like a nightmare from which we cannot wake
As it draws back to the horizon
It is carrying away all of our memories
As it grew out on the horizon
It was feeding on the silence we had promised to keep
As it moved out on the horizon
We were deafened by the mind games and the roaring wave

Punch In The Face
04:04

She gave me a look
They write about in books
She left her scent all over me
Before she turned to leave
Everybody knows
Where she had to go
She talked about him morbidly
But he's the only home she's known
So what can I say
She warns what we're doing's insane
She wants to get away
What do I say to get her to leave him today
And still avoid the punch in the face
The second time we met
We were holding hands
She talked about him nervously
As her phone rang in her bag
So what do I say to get her to leave him today
And still avoid the punch in the face
If I sing her this song he'll probably break my arms
But that's a risk I'll have to take
Calling late at night
Sniffling down the line
I wish that I could rescue her
But i just don't know how
You've gotta give her some time
You've gotta giver her some room
You've gotta just grin and bare it
Lose some skin and hair if you want her that bad
So what do I say to get her to leave him today
And still avoid the punch in the face
If I sing her this song he's gonna lose her charms
But thats a risk I have to take
She warns what we're doing's insane
The punch in the face
I know what I have got to take
The punch in the face
Do I want her cause it's just a game
Of looking for the punch in the face

Younger Longer

We don't need to fight
Your doubts are playing on the night
You say we can't stay high forever
Brooding on the couch
Your hair is hanging in your face
Come out we'll be confused together
In our world, where every second moment's fuelled by alcohol
And totally possessed by the ideas we have
Lets make it last
Stay younger longer
The morning will be ours again
Stay younger longer
The morning will be ours again
There's nowhere to hang out because it's dead in this town
I've seen the future it's a graveyard
Where every weekend lasts forever
Your tie's a noose
You're grinding out the hours counting coffee spoons
Dozing as the clocks melt in the afternoon
There's sand in your shoes
Stay younger longer
(Don't get, don't get old)
The morning will be ours again
Stay younger longer
(Don't get, don't get old)
The morning will be ours again
We walked in our sleep
To the beat of our dreams
Does anybody ever get out of this?
Life just pulls away
We're born without the breaks
Cause there's no stopping time
We're never returning
So what is the rush my friend
Stay younger longer
(Don't get, don't get old)
The morning will be ours again
Stay younger longer
(Don't get, don't get old)
The morning will be ours again

Fading Out
05:16

Sunshine on the front lawns
He steps out of a dark spot
I thought the kids were playing in the street
But then the screams died down to your heart beat
Clouds passed over your windows
Sink back in foggy pillows
You focussed on distant voices coming through
As you eased out over the darkening blue
Fading out
Flickering out
I saw the pupil of your eye fill with the sky
Flickering out
You were fading out
Kindness feeds obsession
Owner takes possession
Daylight keeps secret and hidden away
What night's dark lonely hours reveal
Fading out
Flickering out
I saw the colour in your face draining away
(Fading out, Flickering out)
Flickering out
(Breathing out, Running out)
You were fading out
Can you hear the people
Say how much they need you?
(repeat)
Fading out
Flickering out
I saw the essence of your life fading away
(Fading out, Flickering out)
He was running with the knife
(Breathing out , Running out)
Cut out the image from my mind
Fade it away
(Breathing out, Running out)
I saw him running with your life
Taken away
You were fading out

Out Of Hibernation

Out of hibernation
Now we are evolving
Time to go
Watch me fade away from the earth
A somersault
Time can overturn - don't you know?
Don't you know?
We've been hiding in a light beam
Waiting for our moment
And fighting for an answer
Now it is unfolding
Now it is unfolding (repeat mantra)
Don't be hurt
Shadows have to drift past the sun
Feel the chill
Understand, accept, and open your arms
Loves the word
Melting on the tip of your tongue
In a field of colours only seen by your heart
By your heart
We've been hiding in a light beam
Waiting for our moment
We're emerging from the dreaming
Out of hibernation
Out of hibernation (repeat mantra)
Now it is unfolding
Now we are evolving
Out of hibernation
Now we are evolving
You tried everything to avoid what love could bring
So scared of letting go
Say yes, let it in, then you'll know what you're missing
Just let your feelings show
We've been hiding in a light beam
Waiting for our moment
We're emerging from the dreaming
Out of hibernation
Out of hibernation (repeat mantra)
Now it is unfolding
Now we are evolving
