Settle Up to Settle Down
Question the idols...
Born into contract
With jetsons inventions
Essence of indemnity
And a jailer's belt
To hold all of those keys
It's always too much
It's never enough
It's always too much
It's never enough
It's never enough,
This fountain of riches, golden bridges
Shimmer soaked and wretched
Spanning the chasm
Too far to fathom
Over slithering darkness
Disbelief suspended
And it's absolutely typical
Helium rise, from topical to spiritual
Ritual procession of crypto fanatics
To have at half of scraps of blind panic
Reject the whole paradigm
Mind bled dry for return on time
Lies.. tied.. to pillars of the system
Mistaking net worth for wisdom
Question the idols...
Look at those giants
Stilts to the wind
Question the idols...
Plight of the riff raff
Stretching the seams
It's all too much
It's never enough
It's all too much
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough

Big Tooth
Electric screams through the ether
Pretty please for a token
I'm nothing if you're not broken
You could have it all if only you were a believer
'Cause we all believe her
The master of it all
The big 'n, boss lady data
Scythe and sickle in hand
Ready with the promised land
Riddled with rank and file
Bidding and vile, ready for ad space
Rip up the pages and tear down the stages
Meet the stars behind the scenes, with
Rice paper faces wet and spitting gold
Be bold
Be sold
Set mould
Behold
Aloft the strip tease fandango
Willing you in...
Willing you in...
Oh yeah, just follow the signs
Fame, framed in splintered shine
And we all grab at it, attacking rabid
Like classic TV cocaine addicts
Oh yeah, bloody hands tell our times
Distraction, distraction, incentive
Preventative push
Reco-trended content soup
The more you watch, the better it gets
Gets you better than anyone in forever
The. better it gets...
(Chorus)
Better it gets
The better it gets
The better it gets
The tide in the wrecks
The better it gets
The guts of disgrace
The better it gets
Misshapen embrace
Barbed wire lace
Be face to face
Eye upon eye
Big blue ol' sky
Big blue ol' sky alright
Relief for the senses
Overwhelmed by glass cases
Do what keeps your eyes un...glued

Great Vibes for Huge Bags
Hell bent deconstruction, work withered and wild
Ordered to move mountains and carve a crooked smile
Feeding the beast with mere compliance
Slap, stick denial, reliance
Self, stack, slide, click, off brand style trick
Grieve time, pre-flight
Furrowed brow, hollow eyes
Missed trick, tangled wick
Fire lit, burning light
Bob and weave
Steel your heart
Business cult
Sure enough
Take your own time
Stress expansion dials, shiny golden pixel piles
A fire adrift in an ocean, smoke smothered, horizon
It's a carnival game, perspective trick, money drain
Grand prize hides in a dust bunny frame
...in a dust bunny frame
(Chorus)
You pick the pick
You dig the mine
You strike the stuff
That hides enough of
Yes. This. Always. This.
The more you scratch, the more it itches.
Well if you know, well then you know
And if you don't then you will
A cartoon pie on a window sill
Irresistible
Hell bent, drive, drive
Move mountains, all smiles
Passion, focus, fruit of life
If you're a diver then dive
If you're a diver then dive
Let 'em know you're still alive

Quiet Table Power
Fish bones and bottle tops
Wave of waste
Cresting, waste of space
Silver wings for drivel drippings
...wicked things
Washing over you
Sodden, hat to shoe
I think, they think, we think
Stagnant rotten stinking stew
A reeking mass
Tangled gut hash
Attention economy
Opinion machinery
Logical fallacy,
star struck virality dressed in a frown
Sweeping through from distant cousins
Past relations, conversations
Pulled by the tidal sway
Another down, a goddamn shame
In frame it's clear as day
Till it rains and rains and rains
Radar dish palms
Yawning trees and car alarms
Breezes send shivers
Creeks feed rivers
Feels like they're going to name our time
Draw a fine line between themselves and the misaligned
Citing footage from the early days
White knuckle propaganda
Pop villains whipping
bloodsport fervor tipping
Seams ripping from seams
Loose to the wind, these strings
The death of...
It must be true
It must be true
It must be true
[guitar]

Half a Can of Cold Custard
Forget it all, forget it all, tear it all down
When you're stuck, kicking the rut around
Throwing tape at the wall, hoping it sticks
White hot knuckles, wrapping clenched fists
Keep it out
Keep it out
Give yourself a chance
Nostalgia trance killing living energy
A beakered release of stylised telemetry
And besides, it's inside
The power of a mind
To breathe life into lines
No tricks, power ups, or gimmicks
Just the human disbelief of limits
Calibration, calibration, tame your influence
Magnify flaws into magnificence
Perfection is the itch you just can't scratch
It's lighting a fire from day old ash
(Chorus)
You kick, and you kick, but you just can't swim
When you're treading syrup, the nightmare wins
Can't get anywhere in these marshmallow shoes
Stuck to the pavement and coming loose
Channel one, volume down
Sitcom family fun, switch
Houses of the betters,
Clandestine schemes,
Food dreams
Switch, static
Sudden golden magic
The exact right glitch
Knocking you over and out
Instant forever today
Get it now or never
Instant forever today
Get it now or never
Time's not a giver
Stretching out for miles
Seconds misfiled
The world in focus
And it's gone, and it's gone, shoulders feel light
As the fog lifts, it frees the mind
Sometimes, sometimes
It's the search that hides
