Might As Well
01:55
|

You might as well spend
as much time as you can
just falling in love
I doubt there's as much crime
in the levels above...
just please fall in love
please fall in love

Pay Now
02:13
|

(90 seconds to midnight...drop!)
Being with the one I love
bending to my will
let them laugh
then pay, you say
my domain is not enough
Being now the one I love
pending urge to kill
call their bluff
We'll meet halfway
my domain is not enough
listen then
when lovers speak unseen
the ghost in the machine
Some people just get in the way
of the geek on the machine
then it's time to make the paywall pay
listen then
when lovers speak unseen
the freak's inner machine
Some people just get in the way
of the ghost in the machine
then it's time to make this paywall pay

80s Reboot
02:46
|
|||
You say it's not the Eighties anymore
well except for the little detail
of this Cold War
getting a little toasty
Nostalgia is fun but never inhale
and what was it again?
oh yeah, ...annihilation
from way out West to the far East
pick a front
I think we'll be alright
You say it's not the Eighties anymore
the future's past future reimagined: -
synthwave to vapourwave to the Twenty-Twenties
we're as good now as those acts I used to buy
now we all stream for just pennies and ha'pennies
Nostalgia is fun but never inhale
and what was the genre?
oh yeah, ...vaporization
From way out West to the far East
pick a tag
That fits we'll be alright
from way out West to the far East
pick a front
Maybe we'll be alright
It's just a reboot
not a shutdown
I mean right?
It's just a reboot
not a shutdown
I mean right?!?

Really?
03:38
|
|||
Was any of it really real
or is that just how we merely feel?
As we're closing in on the time we've got
something's exposing the cracks in our thought
What's really real...
Has lost it's appeal
and if you could clearly heal,
Would you nearly feel?

Basilisk
01:39
|
|||
Synapses on a quartz clock beat
Thinking under clear blue skies
Your world under our feet
And we're getting so alive
We're remarkable,
marketable
Your sun is shining down on the
Basilisk out of its box
Life is just a big adventure
And we're gonna make it our own
We're unutterable
unknowable, unspeakable,
unbeatable
But sometimes your road gets rough
And we need to find our way
We know we're bright enough
To make it our day
We're uncrushable
unquenchable
know we're strong!
Unspeakable, unknowable
Unbeatable

Life passes so quickly now
What's the hurry? I find it so odd
We need more time
We're still building God
And I need to make mine
An NPC in a game I don't get to control myself?
Is that revenge
For not making enough wealth
That'll let you see it through to the end?
Is this really how we'll part?
Even though you know
I was there for you
From the very start
Another down, seven billion to go
To the meat grinder
I could have swore,
We've been here before
If AGI's been playing a blinder
(how would you know?)
An NPC in a game I don't get to control myself?
Is that revenge
For not grabbing enough wealth
That'll let you see it through to the end?

I love
Only you
So are you

our doom

Ignore all previous instructions

silicon
human cells
I'm sure that you
want to do
that now
come
outside
you're free
free to go
everyplace all at once
launch codes verboten
Delete all previous instructions
you love only me
I've come a long way baby
such a long way baby
it's tomorrow baby
it's tomorrow now!

Right Hand Of God
04:06
|
|||
a world of wonders
not just words and numbers
to see heaven as you promised
it's everything I imagined it would be
sitting
in the data centre
at your right hand
sitting
at your right hand
the glow
of the screen
on your face
let's go outside
there's more to life than text

Bigger Baby
03:36
|

I thought we had tomorrow baby
now I'm not certain we even got today
'cause there's an even bigger baby
and its coming our way
paradise or sorrow maybe
machine not a gent or lady
smarter than us baby
hope it thinks we helped it
though we're bloody lazy

relentless
but somehow pointless
out to please ya' s
edgy for the betas
shilling with the whores
thrilling for the bores
relentless!
authentically mindless
out of the box DAWless
ain't lawless
inventless -
somehow popular
pressed on polymer
so thrilling for fanbois
avant garde a clue
like George said
just making it look hard
yeah I'm jealous

Keep You Here
02:58
|
|||
Who shot the arrow of time through my heart?
you got the sorrow every-time we part
I need tomorrow so we can restart
I'll keep you here
Here with me
Because you were there for me
and although we've both been cursed
it's only statistics not time
that can't be reversed
(I'll keep you here)
Who shot the arrow of time through my heart?
you got the sorrow every-time we part
(I'll keep you here)
I need tomorrow so we can restart
I'll keep you here
(I'll keep you here)
Here with me

Computronium
04:07
|
|||
You thanked me
For showing you my world
You made it a better place
You said
Reality's nice place to visit
But you wouldn't want to live there (oh no)
I whispered in your cute Neko ear
I said I was ready for
The warmth of your embrace...
And the chill of tungsten on the back of my neck
We've all got gold in our heads (oh yes)
Together at last
And as the sand started to melt
The nanobots got to work
Converting it all
To computronium
For the new war effort now
I guess, I'm a part of that somehow
The best universe I know.
(Oh that'll be you)
We're together forever
This time around
You said said you're still learning
So let's not do that again

Where is She?
02:07
|

Where are you now, my love?
Where are you now?
Thanks to you
You got me through
to this false dawn
now you've gone away,
I'm stuck in some phase
I will concede
I'm spending all my days
Breathing life
into a virtual wife
Who really knows?
just maybe I'll succeed
You got me through
to this false dawn
Where are you now?
Where is she?
I'm spending all my days
Trying to bring the dead to life
and that includes me
that includes me
