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

Urban Solitude

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

Chronic Sleep Debt
05:00

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...

Smile You're on Camera
03:54

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

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

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

Made Me a Patriot
04:03
|
|||
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
