Track Name: defcon
if you want to find a way out of a way out
if you know what i'm sayin, i'm talking paid out
played out playbook
failed in the beat loop
hailed in the deep woods
jailed in the real world
it's a fucking nightmare man
if you wanna wonder
where the ultimate goal is
where the grassy knoll is
boom boom terror dome
home is where the wind blows
you don't need a weather man
to know the fucking weather, man
just stick yr head outside for a while
but watch out for falling rocks
once it starts it does not stop

[what i mean by that is that we assume
we need shit like cops and armies
but we don't really know what lies
beyond them if they dissolve.]

if you wanna find a way to make yr mark kid
if you choose to leave a legacy discarded
it's not really different than a snake skin shed in tall grass
do you really need to remembered when yr dead and passed?

[what i'm trying to say is that our obsession
with lasting forever leads to some pretty fucked up behaviour
if you think about it, dawg.]

bang bang bangerang
nothing lasts forever mang
like the fucking weather man
the tune is always changing

if you want to live in peace you gotta peace down
find the median space between the deep brown
deep yellow and blue fervour of the beat loop
nestled in the overgrown green of the deep roots

never sure of the cure
but we know what we're against
tired of the way our minds
turn the smallest border into a fence.

{SAMPLE TOWN}

if you wanna find a way out of a way out
you will need to find a way to make a safe route
back to yr safe place
no such thing as safe space
are we really lucky to be framed in this strange way?

if you want to live in war you gotta war up
find the middle ground between the shallow and the deep cuts
deep waves and deep fervour of the beat loop
nestled in the overgrown rhythm of the deep boots

[what i mean is that what i'm talking about
depends entirely on who you are.]

bangbangbangerang

{SAMPLE PLACE}

panic in streets guy
what did i tell you
act now think fast
they will try to quell you
sell you a dream beam
tell you how it seems
clean your slate
make you king for a day then
extract yr essences
hear that the lesson is
don't make a sound fucker
don't make a sound now
down the hatch back pedal
metal metal metal metal
panic in the streets
shiny things bringing
shiny things being
shiny things
shiny things
shiny thingsssssssss

me and the ghost of
some lost double cross
double agent who can hold a candle
to the old flame
bold names are remembered
cause they wiled out
either take control of yr games
or fucking file out
me and the ghost of
some lost soul'd out
never taken serious
never made a double cross
me and the ghost of
some lost language
always look both ways
always bet both plays
panic in the streets guy
panic in the streets guy
panic in the streets guy
panic in the streets guy

panic in streets guy
what did i tell you
act now think fast
they will try to quell you
sell you a dream beam
tell you how it seems
clean your slate
make you king for a day then
extract yr essences
hear that the lesson is
don't make a sound fucker
don't make a sound now
down the hatch back pedal
metal metal metal metal

Track Name: yes-sequitur
cold cop seven years
bad luck motherfucker
if you break a plastic cup
cup cold seven folds
is all that the paper will hold hold hold
cold cop seven years
got my mind on my money
and my money on my fears

nice to meet you what do you say
leaving the living room backing away
tiptoe treats at the end of the day
while it all dies underneath who will pray

hard times comin' yr way
hard times comin' yr way
hard times comin' yr way
hard times comin' yr way

cold crush never fear
bad luck is a phantom
of the feebleness of ransom
ransom never told
is all that the body can hold hold hold
cold crush never fear
be real don't fake
keep grindin' the gears
gearshift never miss
navigation please patience please
maybemaybemaybemaybe

hard times comin' yr way
hard times comin' yr way
hard times comin' yr way
hard times comin' yr way
hard times comin' yr way
hard times comin' yr way
hard times comin' yr way
hard times comin' yr way

nowhere is more than a day away
money + time = endless play
skingraft facereplace to say
that there's no space between the rays
of goddamn light coloured delay
that we get bathed in everyday
and if there was a god i'm sure she'd say
fuck all this noise i'm taking a break.

hard times comin' yr way
hard times comin' yr way
hard times comin' yr way
hard times comin' yr way
hard times comin' yr way
hard times comin' yr way
hard times comin' yr way
hard times comin' yr way

{SAMPLE VILLE}

cold storage bodies piled
from here to as far the
average eye'll
reach not long we're told
that's all that the patience can hold hold hold
cold packed my defense
is i did what i was told
in a good spot on the fence
and cold hard facts of fiction
branded hot iron
better get to stitchin'
sold long after dark
into a curved chute
like a slide in the park
cold knife cause it's cheap
we cut from above
and chew from beneath
old blood never child
no childhood no never
known why
sold shortly to the state
for a dinner that cost
five bills a plate
toast raised here's to death
all over our hands
all over our breath like
cold storage bodies piled
from here to as far as the
average eye'll
reach not long we're told
that's all that the patient can hold hold
that's all that the patient can hold hold hold
hard times comin' yr way
hard times comin' yr way
hard times comin' yr way
hard times comin' yr way.
Track Name: interoperability
alright, alright david icke, i'mma let you finish, but you need to know that alex jones had one of the best hyper-paranoid speeches of all time. OF ALL TIME!
Track Name: push a button
{SAMPLEBURG}

panic in the streets guy
what did i tell you
the hell that we dwell through
what did i tell you
the way you spell real is d-i-e
when the only golden rule is d-i-g
you gotta dig till you figure out
what it's about
nobody's gonna hand you
a stolen shout cuz
nobody's gonna hang you
if you don't talk and
nobody's gonna bang though
an outline chalked still
panic in the streets guy over a traffic jam
panic to the naked eye but everthing's ordered man
panic to people who can feel it all coming down
panic isn't real until you feel it all coming down.
Track Name: heartbeats
who makes who
who makes who makes
who makes who
who makes who makes

this is the fork that makes you spit
did i say spit when i meant split
this is the braided copper wire
did you remember to be still
this is the rope you cannot hold
dismissed to hope you cannot hold
this is the tail end of a fire
did you remember to be still

heartbeats
heartbeats
heartbeats

{SAMPLES MIN}

who makes who
who makes who makes
who makes who

{SAMPLE MAX}

never-ending smoke its
the sound of heartbeats
you will never know its
the sound of heartbeats
with a cool desire i
can hear yr heartbeats
who would ever know its
the sound of heartbeats
who would ever know its
the sound of heartbeats
who would ever know its
the sound of heartbeats
who would ever know its
the sound of heartbeats
who would ever know its
the sound of heartbeats
