I cannot simply be only me. I will go to the
Ultimate lengths to get what I want even if the whole
World is out to get me. I’ll believe anything to get
Anything that I need. Its not greed; its a means to an end.
(I have a lot on my plate. I
Don’t have the time to commiserate today.
I wanna help but I don’t know where to start.
I have ideas to focus on in my art.
I don’t want my time to end.)

Needing something;
Looking outward.
In production
We collect the source.
Categories
Written with no plans
To imagine
Something running out.
Resources that we
Need for progression
Ceasing to be
En masse in succession.
(Resources we need for progress ceasing to be in succession.)
Domination of planetary
Luxuries that deplete
With no real time to cycle.
Creatures that won’t exist in tandem;
Blind to who pull the strings
In quiet pizzicato.
Needing something;
Looking inward.
Vague disruption
From the very source.
In the magma,
Burning my flesh off,
I retrieve the
Emptiest of truths.
Resources we
Need for progression
Ceasing to be to
Teach us a lesson.

Rising and grinding.
Seizing the day.
I push competition
Out of my way.
Hesitate not
To justify
Why my supply of
Compassion’s dry.
All of the people
Come see what I think you could be!
Me!
I’m a perfect disease
And you can’t get immunity.
We cannot see eye to eye.
I don’t see why to try.
I know what’s best for my team!
Sorry I didn’t mean to scream.
Cloudy nightmares
Growing weekly.
Often In isolation
Loudly weeping.
Hesitate not
To justify
Why my supply of
Compassion’s dry.
Mindless blank stare
Growing weekly.
Often neglecting self care;
Loudly weeping.
Feel the faint hum
In your ear drum
.
Do you you decide
To hide from
What you’ve become?
All of the people
Come see what I think you could be!
Me!
I’m a perfect disease
And you can’t get immunity.
We cannot see eye to eye.
I don’t see why to try.
I know what’s best for my team!
Sorry I didn’t mean to scream.

Schrödinger’s Profit
03:18

Come to my booth!
Enjoy my rotten fruits...
I’m a piece of
This world’s forgotten truth.
Call me merchant!
I’ll merchandise your brand...
I can make you
Be known across the land!
What would you like to be when you grow up?
Would you like to see some numbers go up?
They keep rising but you’re falling faster;
An inevitable disaster!
Open up the doors!
Customers begin
Shopping for the finest things
They can get their hands on.
And what’s the final cost?
Who won and who lost?
Making Schrödinger’s profit;
Don’t know who made what off it.
Come to my stand!
Grab yourself a brochure...
I can make you
Vacation forever!
(Look I know this looks like a scam...
I assure you that that was not our plan!
Let me go get my manager;
This sort of is his department.
Check my work and you’ll see the math...
I assure you that that was not a laugh!
Let me go get my manager;
This sort of is his department)
What would you like to be when you’re reborn?
Would you like possessions from back before?
They keep falling as the future’s rising;
So inevitably surprising!
Open up the doors!
Customers begin
Shopping for the finest things
They can get their hands on.
And what’s the final cost?
Who won and who lost?
Making Schrödinger’s profit;
Don’t know who made what.

Saving Time

Time flowing out of
everything to no place.
Gone like it’s never even
been in this space.
We gotta fight it off.
Its coming straight ahead!
What will become of us
When it has all been spent?
Raging against the now;
We know we can’t escape.
Swinging the whole way down
Thinking something’s worth saving.
Stuck in some big
Dream no one sees.
We will run dry;
It’s a full moon.
Price is nothing.
Think you got me?
We will run dry;
Its a full moon.
(Stuck in some big dream
No one else can see.
We will run dry soon.
It’s a full moon.
Price is not a thought.
Think you got me bought?
We will run dry soon.
It’s a full moon.)

Unsleep

Ignore intrusive thoughts.
Shut off the machines.
Lay upon the softest silk;
Worm’s ass in every seam.
No one to tell you
You suck.
Fuck.
Simple man in night gown
Bewildered by it all.
Pieces of his memories
Projected on the wall.
Every image visible
Indicates you cannot simply
Quit.
Shit.
I cannot just fall asleep tonight.
I must watch the numbers climb
Without a reason why.
Someone help me
Try to philanthropize my assets
To the common classes!
Tell me who to give my treasures to!
Please trust in my entrusting you
You can feel the value
Changing at the source.
Crash is coming and
Its right on course!
No one can stop the
Flow.
You know.
I cannot just fall asleep tonight.
I must watch the numbers climb
Without a reason why.
Someone help me try
To philanthropize my assets
To the common classes!
Tell me who to give my treasures to
Please trust in my entrusting you.

In the dark beginning
Hunger for the winnings
Led me down the alley
To the merchant’s valley.
Gambling at the tables;
Sharing local fables.
Living for a new day.
Why did we fly away?
I dunno where to land!
Fleeing from the hot sand.
Dodging my disownment;
Disregard components.
Not a one day goes by
That I don’t wish that I
Made a distant impact.
Like an overlooked fact.
Inquiry:
Why do we
See so much opportunity?
Center me!
Center me;
Not any of my enemies!
Take over the air waves.
Make your only stairway.
Climb all of the levels.
Watch the edges bevel.
Slip and catch a small notch.
Pull yourself up on top.
Look around and stand tall.
Gaze around at it all!
Everyone can see you.
They all want to be you.
Tell them all you love them;
While remained above them.
Clinging to the ego.
Ignorant, but we know.
Nothing can reverse this.
Screaming out “No! Curse this!”
Inquiry:
Why do we
See so much opportunity?
Enemies:
Try to be
A perfect carbon copy of me.
Inquiry:
Why do we
See so much opportunity?
Center me!
Center me;
Not any of my enemies.

The Fraud
05:17

I know something
You don’t know yet.
There’s a secret
Hidden meaning.
(I wanna know the truth.)
Listen deeply.
Seek the pattern.
I know something
You don’t know yet.
(Tell me what I’m looking for between the lines.)
Pay the price
For the freest form of living.
Play the fool;
No mercy for the fraud.
I cannot pretend I’m looking for the only truth.
(Objectivity)
Nothing ever comes down to the fact of cold hard proof.
(I know that)
I cannot retreat, I’m staying to defeat the lies.
(Subjectivity)
Stuck inside the old frame.
Struggle to sustain the guise.
My pride can never die.
I know nothing
You don’t know yet.
That’s a secret
That I’m hiding.
(I think I know the truth.)
Listen deeply;
See my pattern.
I know nothing
You don’t know yet.
(This is what I’m looking for between the lines.)
Pay the price
For the fakest face your giving.
Drop the act!
I know nothing
You don’t know yet.
That’s a secret

Listen deeply;

I know nothing
You don’t know yet.
(This is what I’m looking for between the lines.)
Pay the price
For the fakest face your giving.
Drop the act.
Real life is worth living.
I cannot pretend I’m looking for the only truth
Objectivity
Nothing ever comes down to the fact of cold hard proof
I know that
I cannot retreat, I’m staying to defeat the lies
Subjectivity
Stuck inside the old frame
Struggle to sustain the guise
My pride can never die
I cannot pretend I’m here to just defend the lies
Subjectivity
Nothing ever phases people who expect surprise
I know that
I cannot retreat, I’m staying to expose the truth
Objectivity
Building up a new frame
Finally to show the proof
My pride has finally died

Royal Fortunes

Stumbled upon a little mystery.
I stopped believing all of history.
No way to tell them; they won’t hear it.
For their desires truly fear it!
Don’t break the bank. Don’t shoot the messenger.
The less you know the more you thought you heard.
We let the enemy befriend us;
How long before they just behead us?
We’ve come a long way to get here.
Our children will take our places in our final years.
Royal fortunes;
Treasures the world has never seen!
And we fly on with our rewards.
We shall remain on the hunt for
Royal fortunes;
Treasures the world has never seen!
And we fly on with our rewards.
Nothing can stop us fucking the world.
Up above the highest line
On the worst stock chart
Lets us know we’ve not
Made enough interesting art.
If we don’t hit it big
by the next fiscal year
They’ll be hell to pay,
My boss will be in your ear.
Make some shit and serve
It up like a chocolate cake.
Sugar coat it just enough
To cover up the taste.
Make a brand and just
Make sure to make it real hot.
Press it into your skin til
The message is got.
Royal fortunes;
Treasures the world has never seen!
And we fly on with our rewards.
Nothing can stop us fucking the world up.
We traverse the quest investing
All we are, and we go farther
Than the average man
Because we’re psychopaths
With no real plans. And
We will take all that there is and
We’ll leave nothing for your kids.
Our crimes will run us dry and bored
Cause we’re corrupted at our cores.
Royal fortunes;
Treasures the world has never seen!
And we fly on with our rewards.
We shall remain on the hunt for
Royal fortunes;
Treasures the world has never seen!
And we fly on with our rewards.
Nothing can stop us fucking the world

Ultimate lengths to get what I want even if the whole
World is out to get me. I’ll believe anything to get
Anything that I need. Its not greed; its a means to an end.
(I have a lot on my plate. I

I have ideas to focus on in my art.
I don’t want my time to end.)
I cannot simply look deep inside. I will go to the
Ultimate lengths to mask my intent. I’m unhinged, don’t ask!
You are out to get me! I will say anything to get
Anything that I want. I’m a cunt! Its a means to an end.
(I have a theory to test on
People who I see as inferior pawns.
I wanna stop but I know nothing different.
I got ambitions that aren’t in your best interest.
I don’t want my time to end.)
Enter into unrest.
All of the funds we gathered;
Now we must pay our debts.
No time to climb the ladder now.
Everything
That we can
Measure in
elegant charts
Indicates
That we get some
Bonuses quarterly!
Check the math
And the facts.
Nothing can
Stop the cocaine!
We believe
Anything we
say when we
stimulate.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...
Everything
That we can
Measure in
elegant graphs
Indicates
That we get some
Off the books extra cash!
Check the math
And the facts.
Nothing can
Stop our broke brains.
We believe
Anything we
say when we
go insane.
Pay no attention to the man in plainest view.
Enter into unrest. All of the funds we kept;
Now we must pay!

Somewhere in the back of my mind
I see all the flaws in design.
This system cannot just go on!
Everyone is hooked and so gone...
Capital supply
Based on your perception.
No wonder I can see the
Value in decline.
Some time at the dawn of all man.
Lost between two grains of hot sand.
Purpose that had simply no plan;
Going to a nowhere place as fast as it can.
Capital supply
Based on what you value.
No wonder I can see that
You’d be so inclined.
Altruist tendencies
Broken to pieces.
The bastards are focused now.
They know the safe move.
Believe in the sanity
Of a man’s honest
Mistake that might make him fight
For the wrong causes and
Look at the only way
To be moved forth to
The best of our possible
Nature. Evolving
A new improved cultural
Presence to build up
From ashes of what we burned;
Only to come back to
Altruist tendencies
Broken to pieces.
The bastards are focused now.
They know the safe move.
Believe in the sanity
Of a man’s honest
Perception that makes him light
Fires in public.
We, the righteous of a broken planet
See the only path to move these mountains.
Something to believe for all to anchor;
Common causes of the greatest manner.
We shall summon all of our best thinking.
Not a one amongst us seeks to give up!
Something to patch up the endless sinking;
Common entrance to a new beginning.
Stop now!
Profit’s at an all time low.
We need to buckle down now.
Move fast!
Capital supply negated by your lack of time and space.
Run to beat the
Clock as you spin
Out of this small
Rock into the
Void deep down in
Side wanting to
Hide from your own
Mind and you do.
Glass eyes of a child;
Small and unassuming.
Fill them with your poison;
Tell them their consuming.
Run to beat the
Clock as you spin
Out of this small
Rock into the
Glass eyes of a child
Small and unassuming
Fill them with your poison
Tell them their consuming
Void deep down in
Side wanting to
Hide from your own
Mind shattered like
Glass eyes of a child;
Small and unassuming.
Fill them with your poison;
Tell them their consuming.
Run to beat the
Clock as you spin
Out of this small
Rock into the
Void deep down in
Side wanting to
Hide from your own
Mind and you do.
Stop now!
Profit’s at an all time low.
We need to buckle down now.
Move fast!

Wow. Close your eyes, let Jon Ivar Kollbotn's gravelled tones tickle your ears and imagine that Springsteen has ditched his Telecaster and embraced synthpop. Glorious.
