VISION: END 03:24
V.I.S.I.O.N. soon all this will end V.I.S.I.O.N. soon all this will end Take my hand, my beautiful ampersand We'll make long, romantic semi colons in the sand Then we'll connect Like cryptic strings of text Like CAPS LOCK, it's wrapped around our necks It's wrapped around us V.I.S.I.O.N. soon all this will end V.I.S. to the end, page down and descend Let's make a dash, a desperate backslash We'll shift, control, this deadly game of hashtag We're function keys We're hammered down with ease We're programmed, our hands behind our backs Their hands control us The human form's an intangible vapour We're tangled, unable to to breathe The ones and zeros replaced all our platelets Our bloodstream oozes down this screen V.I.S.I.O.N. soon all this will end V.I.S.I.O.N. soon all this will end

Goldwashed 05:43
The world was my playground now it's grey These negative thoughts drift on for days These eyes don't shine bright These eyes reject the light These eyes don't shine bright These eyes should shine bright You're a ghost I still remember this A faded face forever lost in mist Your eyes still burn my heart Tear my dwindling soul apart Cold eyes still burn my heart Lost my mind from looking back Goldwashed this So nostalgic Goldwashed this Lost in reveries of summer days All that's left behind, this golden haze Fix our hearts and put things right Conjure beauty from this night Immunised by nostalgia's bite Looking back, it just aint right Goldwashed this So nostalgic Goldwashed this This old time bliss Goldwashed this So tragic Goldwashed this It's such bullshit

We're here to show the world our scars The prospect's real, we'll never see the stars We bang against the wall our finger's bleed And when we pause for breath They beat us to our knees The capital, tyrannical Their lifetime's work To keep us locked in endless hate We're shackled to this dreary world Our souls, they yearn To break loose and accelerate But you're invincible They'll never know You're invincible You've got to give in to that killer glow The moon shines bright for us, OK So let's luxuriate in the night time's cool embrace Then lift our faces up towards the light We'll shed our skins And then we'll step into the night They tried to beat you down today You tolerate abuse so that you will get paid We sell our body parts against our will And then we close our eyes And let them have their fill Invincible! We shed our forms and bare our teeth Share our final dance in this place Cheek to cheek Babe smell the promise coming on the breeze And then we'll tear their throats out As they sleep But you're invincible They'll never know You're invincible You've got to give in to that killer glow

Tear me apart Reach right in Tear me apart Fragmenting myself for views Through dislocated afternoons My fractured bones through purple bruise These are my turths, these are my truths Download apps you'll never use Upgrade phones and reject news False! false! False! False! We got one shattered mirror for sale And one part deconstructed male Should we put him back together again But that really ruins the fun of Dismemberment Party Tear it all down Reach right up tear it all down Smell of the hunt, taste of the shunt We live in shit, let's suck it Facebook it up, let's fuck it up On wikipedia look it up Is Tom's Myspace account still up Is viral marketing corrupt? False! false! False! false! We got one shattered mirror for sale And one part deconstructed male Should we put him back together again But that really ruins the fun of Dismemberment Party

MOTH 03:38
At the bottom of the well, I know you’re lonely And I think that you can tell, I’m lonely too Together we change, we can grow closer, ooh And I know you feel the same, you want it too Well do you? Do you? It rubs the lotion on its skin Or else it gets the hose again Your transformation will begin And you might be my special friend And there’s moths, moths, dead head moths We live like insects here because We will change in our cocoons We’re growing wings, we’re gonna bloom We’re friends, friends, ‘til the end Whatever it takes, we will transcend Give yourself to me, my little moth I can’t wait to share my plans, my one and only So soon I’ll show you what I’ve made for you Together we’ll enjoy a certain closeness And you can wrap yourself around me too It rubs the lotion on its skin Or else it gets the hose again Your transformation can begin And you might be my special friend And there’s moths, moths, dead head moths We live like insects here because We will change in our cocoons We’re growing wings, we’re gonna bloom We’re friends, friends, ‘til the end Whatever it takes, we will transcend Give yourself to me, my little moth And there’s moths, moths, dead head moths We live like insects here because We will change in our cocoons We’re growing wings, we’re gonna bloom We’re friends, friends, ‘til the end Whatever it takes, we will transcend Give yourself to me, my little moth

GSOH 04:29
Your selfish bones jealously guard Your selfish heart Why is it so hard to, oooh It's really true, you know I don't love you I've just been waiting round Until it's time to, oooh You just want a man with a G.S.O.H. Who will drive you home after your date Oooh, get you Why don't you hop in my C.A.R. Promise to hide my emotional scars And although they don't respect me They never will suspect me From right behind this G.S.O.H. And though the others begged me I'll never stop collecting From right behind this G.S.O.H. Let's share a joke now as we drive Let's laugh so hard, let's feel alive Oooh, it will be soon Your eyes light up at my G.S.O.H. Then G.O.S.H. you now see me, the real me And your selfish bones won't be too hard To break on through, to find your heart Oooh, I see you Of course it's true, I never loved you I've been waiting round until it's time to, oooh And although they don't respect me They never will suspect me From right behind this G.S.O.H. And lthough the others begged me I'll never stop collecting From right behind this G.S.O.H.

LAST 05:37
No one is around And I remember The night I threw it away Tipped this axis off centre In the darkness now A dance in stone The swirling of this solitude A pirouette alone I reach an arm out Wrap it around the void Gently lean my body into This cold, this space that I destroyed The music swells now Its claws take hold in my mind The pulse is poison in my blood I'm beaten, I'm snow blind This bitter dancefloor of our home This empty space, we dance no more This dance, these steps, these lonely twirls I call The Last Man in the World The last man on earth And the last dance on earth I'm the last man on earth The last one Thing is, walking is a more stable state than standing So my stance is: dancing’s the bomb You see nothing really happens until someone really moves When they’re no longer beholden to good old gravity’s rules/ groove It strengthens the bond between you and me And stronger the bond from the heart to the feet Hear the scuff and squeak of the soles of my feet As they thunder on repeat As they underpin the beat Hear the squeak and the scuff from my feet to my heart An empty space transformed into true kinetic art Gotta fill yourself with chaos to give birth to a star With that energy, with that movement, let’s blow ourselves apart Pour myself across the sweet spots of the melody That until this moment were never truly free So, the poet is not the actual  poem, you see But the dancer, the dancer is the dance The times we dance throughout the night Those darkened rooms we filled with light That dance, those steps, these loving twirls I called The First Man in the World The last man on earth And the last dance on earth I'm the last man on earth The last one

Down 03:48
Wasted under perfect skies The beauty's always wasted by The grey behind those jaded eyes It makes you dream It makes you dream Lazy sunset's suicide Extinguishes your fading lights Bouquets of death bloom in your mind They make you dream They make you dream This is everything you wanted, baby Head down to the river You won't blame me when I Hold your sweet head beneath the water Our love grips tight It never falters And down we go On down we go Down we go On down we go Final kiss on the riverbank Our lips entangle as we give thanks For all the joy in this solemn pact It makes us dream Makes us dream We step into the cold depths slowly Relish the rush It takes a hold of me the current whips around our bodies It makes you scream Makes you scream This is everything you wanted, baby Head down to the river You won't blame me when I Hold your sweet head beneath the water Our love grips tight It never falters And down we go On down we go Down we go On down we go
