I don't care what you do, I don't care what you say Feelin' voodoo deja vu from standing in the gamma ray No I never knew I was your acolyte It's hard to see mistakes when all is black and white I don't know where I'm going, where it is I came from All I know is I'm tripping, would you care to tag along? I just wanna get away All grievance decays, laid down in a tulip bouquet Turquoise and tangerine Things aren't what they seem, floating in an aquatic dream. Is this all that's left for me, is this all that I can be? Trapped within my neon plain, things'll never be same No I never knew when I'd administer Something takes a hold of me, something sinister I don't know if you can follow where it is I've head to So keep on spewing that nonsense egotistic hullabaloo. I just wanna get away All grievance decays, laid down in a tulip bouquet Turquoise and tangerine Things aren't what they seem, floating in an aquatic dream. It seems I am a little lost but I promise you I'll be fine The walls begin to shift as all our limbs entwine Why don't you trip now too babe, fall into euphoria Be welcomed to the world of Phantasmagoria.

Crying Shame 06:29
Asleep at a window, awake by the door I was searching for something that I couldn't ignore The world has such patience I think I do to I don't like to use it but I know that you do Savour your breath this path just leads to death Strapped inside no room to hide It's a crying shame and no one's to blame Coupled with doubt now what's this all about When did you go out? Sick and tired of waiting for nothing at all I wish I could remember what it is that I want Gazed up at a painting, he gazed right back Can't recall why he's sitting, no clue why he's so relaxed Faces compare all look and stare Hate in my veins please no more rain Nothing to see, no one indeed Race is all done judged to fit to run When did you go out? A prisoner still, guess I'll take a pill You're flying away just install my chains You over there so full of despair Stuck in behind another wall in my mind When did you go out?

Toodaloo 04:38
Walls close bind, never gonna let it down You and I clammer for the fallen crown I wonder how I'd ever end up here Asunder sitting with the puppeteer Outer space, our new heralds never seem Out of place till you see the gazer beam Senator told me I would be the Messenger, go and tell the people Deaf and blind, all my memories are Left behind, now my inner eye is amplified Climb unto the summit Run and hide, the other kind has cometh Toodaloo

Heard about this bitch down in New Orleans Blew little Willy down to smithereens She's the saint of the century, making love in the cemetery Take a voodoo doll, puts a pin through its heart That's when you know that the voodoo starts Let me tell you she's a dirty rotten witch Get out before she gives you the itch I don't know how all of this could be true All of these shrunken heads in bitch's brew Supernatural love is just taboo Got nothing against it I bid you adieu Badmamajujuvibe So I went down for a lookiloo That's when I found her woohoo It was great yeah we had our fun Until i shot her with my love gun Before I could leave she made the shack door slam Hocus pocus, alakazam She couldn't stop me even with her voodoo Cause bitch I'm the boy from the bayou Badmamajujuvibe

Run run run as fast as you can Johnny's come to kill the boy inside the man Wake before the world is gonna end Follow me, I could be godsend Manipulated Dead, the guiding force Manipulated Dead, we set time's course Living receiver now you have become This universe is an unstable one Friends and family and everything you see Are not real, for the artifact is the key Manipulated Dead, the guiding force Manipulated Dead, we set time's course Do you feel you have what it takes Show yourself for salvation's sake Slowly your world fades and it heals As you wake to find this world is not real Manipulated Dead, the guiding force Manipulated Dead, we set time's course

Morning moon is shallow, stars they shine like diamonds Cast off too the ocean, gaze on young horizons I'll keep searching for it till the very end Bask within the twilight, hold on as I ascend (Where am I) Ocean waves are now a little choppy (Who are you) It seems that I have been a little sloppy (Saturate) Phantasmagoria has taken it's toll (Medicate) Fuck it cause dammit man you're on a roll (A deep hole) that I had dug in which to keep my secrets (You don't know) How hard I'd try to keep it's secrets (I can't find) the satisfaction cause i'm so paranoid (Let me in) Give me the little corner of the void Now that I'm still up here, I can't help but feel some doubt That there is a way out of this hazy astral droubt Desert heat blisters, scorch the earth and make it crack I can't go much further, got dead weight on my back So Jesus Christ on a bike I don't know what to say Isn't this what you like? Mooch the haul away Dance all those ragged blues away Look at the sun, it implodes in spectacular glow Put on your shades, grab your friends, stop and see the show Then say goodbye to everything you know

Hollow eyes, swirling womb Shifting skies of Saturn's moons Patter of fate much to soon I'm not a saint of Saturn's moons Piece of Saturn, bloody baron You're late for the show, don't forget to go Restless sea brought to it's knees All covered in snow, no more rainbows.

The Axe 05:13
Words cut like a knife to the throat through the chest Something that I found but I digress Mind over matter he's a simple one Finger on the trigger but the eye's on the gun Blood through the eyes that he doesn't need Seeing something so obscene Don't bat an eye, don't bend a lash Follow me outside, no time to think or decide Follow me outside, no question I will abide Cut myself I know my task I let let it burn, I let it last Follow me outside, no time to think or decide Follow me outside, fall in vain The axe that falls upon the head Sees it coming once again He doesn't scream, it's okay to be headless Clear of thought and clear of mind Sound of heart he just unwinds The only problem is you can't look in his eyes Anger without reason like the back of a hand Swift with the punishment but don't understand Mind over matter he's a simple one Doesn't even flinch from the shot of a gun Eyes on the prize he don't realize He's killing zombies left and right He goes with the flow cause he let it go The axe that falls upon the head Sees it coming once again He doesn't scream, it's okay to be headless Clear of thought and clear of mind Sound of heart he just unwinds The only problem is you can't look in his eyes

Time's like a rubber band, it's all designed to stretch What you want you cannot get, nobody knows the rest Cruisin' down on a road to nowhere, can I catch a lift? Things aren't what they seem to be, think I'm losing my reality I've really done it now Hey man, can you lend a hand? We'll keep on flying on To another state of mind These things that I wish I knew that i'll never know Setting off to another plane of the universe You look at me and you can see the face of memory You've gone and driven man to ruin, guess I'll just a keep on vista cruisin' I've really done it now Hey man, can you lend a hand? We'll keep on flying on To another state of mind
