Move it around All you gotta do is move Move it around Move it around All you gotta do is move And it'll make more I'm gonna ski Every six months For the rest of my natural life My natural life Move it around All you gotta do is move Move it around Move it around All you gotta do is move Move it around Mitosis Mitosis

Surrounded Surrounded With no-one to talk to Begin to lose all my definitions And I can't sleep now No I can't sleep now Will I find solutions? Seeps in your bedroom Then into your office The street sounds The voices A constant reminder You You're still wide awake In warm city beds And you can't sleep now No you can't sleep now

Impulse control is as overrated As the button pressing that keeps you sedated Something so so so horrific That it needs to be baited Into neurotic compression It comes on so strong It agitates Body non-conforming Transforming And still the hate runs freely like The sweat from the pores Dripping through the bedsores I've accepted my mind is a whore Thinking aloud Hearing it come out backwards Thinking aloud Can't turn off Cannot Can't turn off Please help Can't turn off Can't turn Please help me Can't turn off Cannot Can't turn off Please help Can't turn off Can't turn Please help me If you think you're in control Stand up If you're standing up then kindly Go get fucked I exist in a vacuum Did I ever leave my room? Weight of sleeplessness Suffocating clarity Poor me In a dream I can't leave Did I leave? What does it mean? Can't you see when I say 'can't you see?' I mean 'what does it mean?' Long for stasis basically But it keeps evading me And I don't dream In my dreams I don't dream In my dreams...

Goddamn the sand felt good around our heads Our bronchioles amnesiacs Organic matter made perverse Perfect souls went asystole Broadcasted on CCTV As ghosts with LED screens for eyes Floating on fibre optics shrieked try to smile you’re on (Camera) try to smile you’re on (Camera) This hedonism makes my house too warm Ultraviolet lights betray ultraviolence But my choices left no alternative I’m hungry all the time I am slipping into plasma districts Begging for electric rapture I see you I see you I see you

Opinionated Indignant Brash Loud Happy Contented Commuting Alone And I only speak in agreeable tones And I only hear what I recognise And I only see tracks in kind And I only smell sanitised bouquets And I only feel the soft and familiar And I furnish my house My prison

Warming world, warming world Who controls the warming world? Warning words, warning words Where was I when this occurred? Becoming digitised Brings anxiety Will I be in This new replication? I get the feeling We need to be afraid All the servers are full And we all want Off of this Dirt Speck Warring worms, warring worms Who's the queen among the clean? The thing with abrogation is You need someone to hold onto the pike I will become A traitorous patriot Before I'm made to sing All the servers are full And we all want Off of this Dirt Speck

Prefecture 04:41
Ochanomizu Try to blend in Try to appear polite I try to pretend Takoyaki man Says ‘yeah America!’ If I say ‘sure’ Do I let down Australia? I guess it depends I sock a few home runs With Hiroshi and his fashionable friends All the pretty laneways are dead ends Have to stay conscious of Pedestrian currents Keep wary of tattoo parlours And brothels and Russian vagrants Get swept up in a cowboy bar Playing ‘Luckenback, Texas’ The barflies are South African I am an alien Talking to Okiri at the mouth of the tube And she’s been saving up for months To visit Niko in Sydney That’s the conversation I imagine having I stare at nameless commuters Buried in newspapers Eating cakes shaped like Pokemon I think of calling you Time difference is nothing In planet Brisbane My time is divisible by visits to the guitar store Attendants recognise The chords that I strum First universal thing I’ve noticed Since I came here is the traffic But they all let each other in It disturbs me Have to get back to the hotel Before the family’s awake Have to reset the alarms Has it been year since we were estranged? In the Lawson 'God damn matcha-flavoured everything' I miss you, but I’m clean now Getting kicked out of the Lawsons With Ari 'Who’s Ari?' Fuck, I thought you were it Can’t hear anything at Gaspanic Oh Jesus It is 4am…

Gift Economy 03:13
Does something about this seem funny? We can get the canned laughter To make them believe that the joke landed Does something about this seem hollow to you? There’s a meanness in it I didn’t forget We all lost our jobs At the rendering plant Once the glue starts sticking You don’t come back I mean, do you want a lighter or a match? You weren’t there to greet me When I left the jail You said one was in prison The other in hell But who was who you couldn’t tell Hey I think I remember I think I remember Then I forget Then I forget Truth Always and ever Always and ever Always and Together we can become ghosts Apparitions only visible On the outskirts of the superhighway Together we will be forgotten If there’s a happiness left We’ll rediscover it So pack up your life Put your things order Leave the dog some food And message for mother Here we disappear Cut off your finger And shave your head Leave the suicide note At the foot of your bed And jump out the window Hey I think I remember I think I remember Then I forget Then I forget Truth Always and ever Always and ever Always and Hey I think I remember I think I remember Then I forget Then I forget Truth Always and ever Always and ever Always

I wake up laughing A.I. beams She greets me, and all of us The things I didn’t know I wanted Seem prettier than usual today Maybe there’s a sale Good job Good job But it’s not No hunger For laboratory meat I’ll answer for the things I’ve killed Wasn’t I supposed to make it worth something? Wasn’t that the point of all this? Seems more difficult today Maybe it’s the sale Good job Good job You’ve made me You’ve made me a patriot Now can’t you leave me? Leave me be
