We are the generation of the offline gene
And online speeds
Pushing us further to the brink of knowing things
Believing nothing
Camera captures a life in session
and amateur decisions
Telling things
Revealing nothing
Uncover us all, no resistance
Endless transmissions

Revelation
04:28

Space between your ears for a screen
Reading symbols
Complicated speak
Figures prove
Words describe
Visions move
Mouths feed
Eyes see
Digits handle dogma
Still typing
Never talking
Hearing hammers harmful and harmony
Legs doing nothing
Escape is everything
Space for a screen
Escape is everything
A revelation
This is your dream life
Oh never mind the real world
This is the war
We know for who but what are we typing for?
Picture your dinner
The Bubonic plague
Eat up all your experience for this digital age
Feeling emojis
Not complicated speak
Figures prove
Words describe
Visions move
Mouths feed
Digits handle dogma and truth
Right in front of you
All of us kneel at the dotcom of beauty
Kill all your idols
Kill all your idols
Kill all your idols
Show them no mercy
Take a picture
Keep that picture with you

Bury Yourself

Not long now
Floating ‘round the storage
Set it all up
We dump ourselves in space
Satellites like psychopaths
Spy amongst the waste
Signals like signposts
Always somewhere new to go
Fast forward is all we know
We leave the past behind
Can’t wait so on with the show
Those memories of life
Just something that we used to have
We dump ourselves in space
Eyes upon the astral paths
Sauce is off the plate
Virtual satisfaction
Sentimental taste in material terms
We navigate our escape
What will we never learn
Spread across space?
Over is the new goodbye without seeing a face
Always somewhere new to go
Fast forward is all we know
We leave the past behind
Can’t wait so on with the show
Those memories of life
An angle that we’ll never again have
Not long now
We dump ourselves in space
Too late to black out
We’ve got an infinite place
Over is the new goodbye without seeing a face
Bury yourself
Bury yourself
Bury yourself in space
Bury yourself
Bury yourself
Bury yourself in space

King of Cats

Just getting what he wants
A twinkle in his eye
This ordinary day
Makes him want to unwind
Recline
Rewind
Good times are those he has to find
On his own
In his own time
No owner in his way
Cat purrs and cat is proud
Cat lounges, cat rules dirt
Cat is comfort, cat is fur
Cat is king and cat is sure
Just ordinary days
Make him want to hide away
Not to be neglected
He bears no harm that leaves a longing search
He’ll be more the king of cats, tiger getting fat
Chewing, stewing on an end of days
No owner in his way
Houses rule and houses stand
Houses clear and houses blurred
Houses face and houses turn
House is king and houses burn
Just ordinary days
Never to be ruled
The king of cats
So sure of life itself
No grand obituary
Just fur and bone
Selfish decay
No owner in his way
This ordinary day

A lifetime of distraction
serves us well
Stumble ourselves together
Let’s agree on similar things
An illusion of expectations
Hurry ourselves to drink
Let’s agree on similar things
Straighten out our look
• No news
• Just noise,
• White smoke
• White noise
In the exhibition
Here to fill a room
Give the show a show
Fill that glass again
Then the intermission
Quick escape the room
Leave the art alone
Fill that glass again
• Cheesy jokes
• Bad wine
• Quick smoke
• More witty Lines
• No news,
• Just noise
• White smoke (No news)
• White noise (Just noise)
A lifetime of distraction serves us well
• No news
• No news
• No news
• Just noise
• White smoke
• White noise
• No news
• Just noise
• White smoke
• White noise
Tick a box for inspiration
An artist on the ropes
The agent on his own agenda:
‘You’ll only sell well as the dead bloke’

You want to be different
Or you drown in the ocean
Keep yourself to yourself
Take that or leave it
You’re owing to no one else
It’s not too difficult for your little hamster brain
In your wheel
In your own opinion
You play a game
He was always trying to kill himself
And when he did it was an accident
I’ll tell you about it some other day
Go on
Lie down
Go to sleep
Go on
Lie down
Go to sleep
We’ll talk about it some other time
When you’re not so weak
When you’re not so weak
When you’re not so weak
When you’re not so weak
You want to be relevant
Before you’re starved of devotion
Keep yourself to yourself
Take that advice or listen to someone else
Help is a hand not always handled well
This story’s not too difficult for your hamster brain
In your wheel
In your own opinion
You’re like that other man I knew
Trying to kill himself
And when he did it was an accident
I’ll tell you about it some other night
Go on
Lie down
Go to sleep
I’ll tell you about it some other night
When you’re not so weak

listen - it'll pass -
sad and glad don't last -
buttabitta balance duzz arrive -
stay around - stay alive -
truly - it lessens -
we learn to count blessin's -
distinguish distressin's -
have friendly confessions -
so tell a soul a tall tale -
we all succeed - all fail -
pain is a part of the craic -
love is the light when the darks too black -
we all hurt in the head -
we all know of someone else dead
by a deed of their own doing -
omnipresent - past - nuttin' new 'n'
its evvryone evvryday evvry where -
the mental health - the mental care -
openly talk - openly chat -
fact is one in four be the stat....
listen - it'll pass -
havvaquestion - just ask -
but i woodent be trusting google -
face-look and hook-up with real people -
ever felt down-dumped - ever felt low?
misplaced your mojo - your old flow?
too tired to get involved in the social show?
too wired? - computer says no -
ever felt removed from it all?
how come evvryone's havin' a ball
while i'm hollow in an awful heap?
another shite night of awful sleep -
we all hurt in the head -
we all know of someone else dead
by a deed of their own doing -
omnipresent - past - nuttin' new 'n'
listen – it'll pass -
no-one's being put to task -
we're all here to long live -
to prosper positive
and though feelin' lost and lonely
know that you are not the only
one to drown in despair -
when we share then more aware
that we all experience high and low -
its all our lives – its how we grow -
when its too fast then take it slow -
you control how you go..................listen....
