Yo now we're back
With your new favorite track and
Gettin' ready to attack with the music that you've lacked
Yeah it's been a lil while but we'll still make ya smile
Rippin' through ya body with that Night Gaunts style
I've been outta action, lacking in passion
Drained through and through and I hadn't a clue
Progress was slow but now I'm unleashing
the beast within once again is breathing
So come and get me now
So come and get me now
Smash through the barrier
The body is the carrier
To show you things that you've never seen before
Never ever never ever never ever ever seen before
Gone in flash that second's never coming back
Shifting with the weather now I'm lighter than a feather
Like water off a duck no one really gives a fuck
It's just the battle within that we're all trying to win
Close up shop and wait for the beat to drop
Ya never saw it coming till lying down looking up
Another year of thinking has got me closer to myself
But am I everyone else? You know I laugh out loud
So come and get me now
So come and get me now
Smash through the barrier
The body is the carrier
To show you things that you've never seen before
Never ever never ever never ever ever seen before
Torn between ideas I evaluate my path
Towards the center of being shifting gears to get past
The negative vibes where failure resides
Smash them up and let the positive thrive
So come and get me now
So come and get me now
So come and get me now
So come and get me now
You can do anything you want to!

I’ve been mislead on my path to the moon
Finding no man there the mystery balloons
I'm diggin’ out craters to find out it’s a lie
If I choked and died would you be the ones to cry?
Well I don’t really know but I’d like to think so
There’s a dark side of me that I want to show
I’d like to chop you up into neat little pieces
Mince you down and spread you on ma pizza
A tasty treat yeah you are my meal
and after your digested let me how it feels
Jump jump jump
Jump up and down and bounce to our sound
Bounce to our sound, melt to the ground
Don’t stop now or we’ll take your crown
We’ll take your crown
I’ll take your crown
Don’t stop now or we’ll take your crown
Na nanananana Na nanananana
Batman’s on his way with a fist full of dollars
Take that from us and we’ll leave you feelin’ hollow
Stuck in the mud with the barnacles and eels
Swimming ain’t an option when your higher than it feels
Abandon ship disregard the boat
This puncture’s pissing air and Bumblebee won’t float
Deflation takes ahold of this ships great keel
SOS someone save our souls!
Oh my god am I really gonna die?
[NO!] My brother’s to the rescue Bear Grylls style
Sporting a wetsuit, bodyboard and no fear
Albany’s devil ain’t got shit on his beard
Na nanananana Na nanananana
Na nanananana Na nanananana
Awwwwwweee yeaah
Pass the mic
Yo tell 'em what's up son
We're gonna pass the mic to my man, right!
Oh when i kick it outside the sun kisses me
When it burns my skin I feel miserable
Because I’m red for the next day not lookin' like a playa
I should hit the gym cause i’m thinner than John Mayer
The ones that will survive are chillin’ in the night
But i can’t maintain the cycle
If I make it out alive
I've got a tan from the computer
The internet’s my tutor
Fuck a system error
Beep beep bop blooper
"Ooooo that was sounding pretty fresh, man.
But what ya got next? Ya better go, go, GO!
Yo i’ll pick it up
Yo i’ll put it down
God damn it you know I love that offbeat sound
It radiates a vibe
of which i really can relate
I’m a rude boy straight outta the
EAST COAST BAYS
I’m like a tiger in the jungle
Camouflaged and rare
Blending into my surroundings
No one notices I’m here
Darth Vader’s on the mic
“Paul, I am your father”
Take me to the death star and
Futurama
What you say?
Hey hey!
What you say?
Get down with Night Gaunts everyday!

Welcome to the Pink Lagoon
We're glad you made it oh so soon
Relax yourself unwind the time
Comfort your soul and ease your mind
It's time to chill, lay down ya head
Vanilla scents the air and says
I'll take you to a place so beautiful you'll loose yourself again
Flowers bursting into colour
Your body follows rediscovers
a piece of life a familiar touch
that feeling of love that warms you up
It's peace it's bliss and this is it
A place where you feel magnificent
Free from clutter free from fear
With no restraints you bathe eternally aware that..
Love is what we need to live
It's what we need to live
So keep on giving it
So keep on giving it
And when you take your final breath
When you take your final breath
The world will whisper gently that you just found out what it means to live
So long from the Pink Lagoon
We're glad you're leaving feeling true
to yourself, without a doubt
you're the best we've had the pleasure to help
along with every soul entwined
you've unveil the mask that kept you blind
Spread the word if you see fit
you'll do what you do and it's perfect
Oh do you feel that vibe?
It's the pulse of the hive buzzing inside your cluttered drifting timeless mind
neurons fire you're alive
Hallucinogens drip from her lips
with just one kiss I fall into the abyss
I must confess I'm an intoxicated mess
To relieve the stress I make music to express that..
Love is what we need to live
It's what we need to live
So keep on giving it
So keep on giving it
And when you take your final breath
When you take your final breath
The world will whisper gently that you just found out what it means to live
"The Alien"
"The final frontier is unlimited expansion.
Within is not limited but rather infinite.
Rotate an 8 and you'll see the racetrack. Round and round with no distinction no one is winning without start or finish.
No point of reference on how things are going, keep chugging along with out signs of slowing or knowing.
To judge your progress within the universe is ridiculous so make do with what you have and try your best with everything.
Explore all ways of thinking religious, nihilistic spiritual and artistic there are lessons to be learnt and points of views to come across that'll help you discover what it means to be lost.
'Cause lost is what we are selfish and confused and if anyone tells you differently it's further poof that they're just as twisted as you.
Tell strangers how you feel as they won't care anyway but it feels good to let it out.
You keep too much in. Release it all. Regardless of situation or who might be afraid
Fear builds strength once you learn how to deal with it and although I'm still struggling my smile has grown wider.
We've all been told acting any other way than "good" is out of line.
Don't hold yourself in order.
Scramble other people's protective shields with your own ideas and fantastical spiels.
Always be weird though I hope you're not crazy.
Fuck it who am I kidding i'm the most crazy I've ever been and it feels good"

Under Stars

I don't wanna go out in the rain cause every time I do it's all the same
Like treading water it leads to the slaughter and that's no way to support your daughter
I have this feeling from time to time that when I have a child she'll complete my life, a girl she is and let it be said she'll make better music and she's still undead
What did i say?
Hey!
From the grave in infinite space
What should I do?
Do?
Write down whatever feels right to you
Now I'm confused
Confused
Well I am am you and that makes two
What does that mean?
It means everything is everything and there's no in-between
It's just the joke of life oh so let it go oh oh
It's just the joke of life oh so let it go oh oh
It's just the joke of life oh so let it go oh oh
It's just the joke of life oh so let it go
I don't wanna sit around all day cause every time I feel the same
Anxiousness I've felt for years which tears us up and leaves me scared
You can do it, leave this place but thinking alone won't make the escape
Go outside, sit by the river, reflect in nature you'll feel much better
What did I say?
Hey!
It calmed me down and cleared headspace
What should I do?
Do!
Travel the world and meet people like you!
I'm not confused
Confused!
I'll see you soon to talk and booze
I know what that means!
I know what that means
It means sharing yourself with everyone seen
It's just the joke of life oh so let it go oh oh
It's just the joke of life oh so let it go oh oh
It's just the joke of life oh so let it go oh oh
It's just the joke of life oh so let it go
Unconceived little baby girl when you enter this world you'll hear your work
You'll speak the truth and remove my fear
Such fragile words so loud and clear
You will transform my heart
Yeah you will
You will you will
We're living under stars!

Ratata tat tat
Hey man where you at?
Your head was spinning round like a yo yo on crack
Run from the door when the dogs attack
It ain't safe to make a sale if you leave with a scratch
I've been long gone in a fish filled aquarium
5 second memories and a handkerchief to blow on
When it boils down to this well it don't mean shit
So don't you ever tease me with an unfulfilled wish
Show me what you've got and i'll give it a shot
And even if I miss i'll add it to the list
Practice makes perfect and you would deserve it
It's just concentration that leads us to a purpose
Don't you ever tease me
Don't you ever tease me
Don't you ever tease me
It'll leave me queasy
Don't you ever tease me
Don't you ever tease me
Don't you ever tease me
Mighty ambition sprayed all over
From top of the class to living on a sofa
It's not that bad. I've been telling lies
But i'll connect the circuit by cutting wires
I've been
I've been
I've been
Shot down abandon town
Let me know when the devil delivers my crown
I'v been
Shot down abandon town
Let me know when the devil delivers my crown
I've been
Shot down abandon town
So let me know every time the devil's hanging around
Uh Oh
Lemme Know
Uh Oh
Take it slow
As the night unfolds so does my jet plane
origami speech bubbles erupt into flames
from the ghastly swells, pins and needles surface
scratchy, uncomfortable tingly burning
What was that you said? I said blah blah blah
The man's got it coming
And the devil's got us running
Can't you see 'em jumping
Weak knees smashed; broken.
It won't long till his movie starts showing
Projected onto canvas and sold off as art
It's depressed to know it doesn't come from the heart
I'm changing what was written.
Rearrange the kitchen.
Pack your bags if you are coming with me
Don't you ever tease me
Don't you ever tease me
Don't you ever tease me
It'll leave me queasy
Don't you ever tease me
Don't you ever tease me
Don't you ever tease me
Shot down abandon town
Let me know when the devil delivers my crown
I'v been
Shot down abandon town
Let me know when the devil delivers my crown
I've been
Shot down abandon town
So let me know every time the devil's hanging around
Uh Oh
Lemme Know
Uh Oh
Take it sloooooooww
HA HA
Feelin' 'igggggghhhh
Don't you ever tease me
Don't you ever tease me
Don't you ever tease me
It'll leave me queasy
Don't you ever tease me
Don't you ever tease me
Don't you ever tease me
The man's got it coming
And the devil's got us runnin'
The man's got it coming
And the devil's got us…
OHHHHH!

Money money money that’s all they think about
Yeah making more money that’s all that really counts
Churning out pop rap crap
Well I have my doubts
It won’t last
NO
It won’t last
Cause the record companies they will all fall down
And we’re gonna be the ones with the new sound
So come on get together and sing this song tonight
We’ll sing all night
We’ll sing all night
Alright!
When it all comes down to this
Yeah, I’m gonna be the one helping kids
And not these auto-tuned fools with no content
It brings me down
It really brings me down
Cause all they ever do is talk about
Money, girls and cars
To provide no help
And it’s all completely un-relatable to the rest of the world
Well, who ya tryna help?
And what ya tryna do?
It’s a false reality I hear spoken from you
I love you this and I love you that
Well it makes no sense and you’re outta ya depth
Cause you don’t care at all
Sucking out their self esteem
And misleading their dreams
Like you need it to live
Like you need it to breathe
Well I’ve cure so sing a long with me
Sing!
We won't
Let them take control
Let them take control
So let it be known
We won't let them take control
So let it be known
Known!
There's gonna be a fire that they can't put out tonight
Money money money that’s all they think about
Yeah making more money that’s all that really counts
Churning out pop rap crap
Well I have my doubts
It won’t last
NO
It won’t last
Cause the record companies they will all fall down
And we’re gonna be the ones with the new sound
So come on get together and sing this song tonight
We’ll sing all night
We’ll sing all night
Alright!
Money is king to provide high living
Three aeroplanes if you keep on giving
They'll take what and they want and they'll leave the rest behind
Am I making this up and do they think we're blind?
No of course not! They'll just put you in jail
for trying to build an industry that will not fail
Where artists get the profits and the underground thrives
Fuck the mainstream the money hungry empires
Who ya tryna help?
What ya tryna do?
It’s a false reality I hear spoken from you
I love you this and I love you that
Well, It makes no sense you lying rat
Cause you don't care at all
You're wanting us to fall and not take control
Like you need it to live
Like you need it to breathe
Well your days are numbered
And your seats are cheap
Sing!
We won't
Let them take control
Let them take control
So let it be known
We won't let them take control
So let it be known
Known!
There's gonna be a fire that they can't put out tonight
[We won't!]
Can't put it out
Can't put it out, no!
Can't put it out
Can't put it out, no!
Can't put it out
Can't put it out tonight
They can't put it
They can't put it out
No
They can't put it out
