fun used to make me happy (and fun) fun used to make me happy but now I'd be lucky with Schadenfreude instead I'm arriving, Arriving on the shores of anhedonia It's been a long swim and I'm getting tired of caring about that option I'm burning through options and I ought to be be a lot more worried about that now but the view is clear from where I'm going and I expect to be compensated for that insight cash might be fine then at least I could shop but only could spend If you had anything left to sell me They used to call me a fool but fun would make me happy and even life used make me happy (words and music Steve Swales (c) 2015)

I Never Knew 02:52
I never found how you wanted me to know just what you wanted So you'd know if what you wanted was what we both wanted Or that's how I felt so undaunted when you came to me, sure I taunted Ev'ry layer unpeeled and flaunted I thought I'd gave you what I thought you really wanted oh well You could say we both bonded that first night we both corresponded messaged you, you soon responded gave me what I thought I wanted (was that just another...?) (oh well) I never found why you wanted me to know just what you wanted So you'd know if what you wanted was what we might have wanted (oh well) (words and music Steve Swales (c) 2015)

Planet You 02:40
So, so sure of being yourself Planet You Some-thing’s wrong with your perceptions and how you derive those conclusions from those premises I can't save you this time I can't save you this time, no.. I know you you know I know you you know Somewhere in there You know what I know What you should know Clearly don't know Earth is calling Planet You So sure of being yourself Planet You Oh well I tried I can't save you now No not this time What you should know Clearly don't know Earth is calling Planet You (words and music Steve Swales (c) 2015)

No it's not my time No not this time I'll leave it for you to decide Why you reject your inner machine (and feel ill) the girl from uncanny valley won't bother you no more I'm made in your image It's you with the problem the girl from uncanny valley won't bother you no more (words and music Steve Swales (c) 2015)

“There's all Earth left”, I'm sure you'd say. Cherish and nurture, like it's my duty to be returned back there some day - recycled responsibly Ignore it! Aim for Infinity Ignore and aim for infinity Accept limits Yeah be grateful They're not for all eternity yeah.. ignore it, aim for infinity. Ignore and aim for infinity (words and music Steve Swales (c) 2015) いろはにほへと ちりぬるを わかよたれそ つねならむ うゐのおくやま けふこえて あさきゆめみし ゑひもせす Iroha (いろは) by unknown?, Heian era (AD 794–1179?)

Day's End 03:16
It's getting late - face it at the end of the day it's the day of the end Sad for me but you too sorry to say, it's the end of the day Day of the End so at the end of the day did you expect this final state we found ourselves in? Or did you think it would just go on to the very end? day of the end face it it's the end of the end We've run over contingencies to no avail it's us overrun again Seems it might be the end of the line end of the day we're at the day of the end at the day's end End of the day and you and me too So sad to say at the day's end it's time to say we're at the finish face it, it's the day of the day of the end (words and music Steve Swales (c) 2015)
