lost in urbanity
lost in the hell of a loop
in this simplicity
from starting to end
everything’s proved
everything’s proved
and I remember the last day
fear so far away
fear so far away
where I used to be free
lost in urbanity
lost from the rise of the sun
the panic is going on
the old and the young
the daughters and sons
lost in the underground
lost in the rage of a fool
numbness just lingers on
in the remains
of the tube
I remember the last day
fear so far away
where I used to be free
where I used to be free
lost in urbanity
lost in the hell of a loop
in this simplicity
from starting to end
everything’s proved
I remember the last day
fear so far away
where I used to be free
where I used to be free

down in the basement
there’s a light
down in the basement
I’m alive
I don’t know why
this is goodbye
the world’s
so beautiful
outside my
cellar door
far from the garden
and the rain
far from the gutter
all aflame
down in the basement
I can feel
down in the basement
I am real
I don’t know why
this is goodbye
the world’s
so beautiful
outside my
cellar door

in a post-human world
where the animal was left behind
the philosophical cockroach questioned
the anthropogenic culture
men whining on freudian ottomans
pampered by the self-righteous analysts
as an animal
I just exist
sputtering psychobabble bullshit
as an animal
I can be me
animal!
the cockroach wondered about
the multichannel madness
as an animal
I can be real
cashing and bashing
nobody needed
filling an artificial void
as an animal
I can be me
the insect wiggled his feelers
and thought to himself
what a waste of time and energy
animal!
they are just crazy
crazy people
you put nothing to good use
no you do it try to tame it
make it your own
but it makes no sense
no sense whatsoever
this conversation is over
this monologue is over
I am finished with you
humans like you
don't act like I do
animals like me
will always be free
they are just crazy
crazy
these human beings
they do not understand
just crazy
I don't understand
what is going on here
crazy
crazy people
go away!
animal!
finally
the philosophical cockroach
all alone in the post-human world
seized to contemplate
the pointlessness
of these deliberations
he stretched out his legs
and took a big swig
of his precious 18 year old yamazaki

In Ten City (Rebuilt)

i. The Modern World
I move in this town
I circle around
half of my life underground
escaped from a dream
a crude morning’s heat
the pulse of the town sets my beat
a girl from a picture
from a dream
with a glance that’s inbetween
an alien mixture and a smile
joins the train and I...
... solidify
the deaf and the blind
an aura so cool I could die
but there from a distance
a tremble in my hands
siren awakes catches my eye
in ten city
the modern world
the modern times
the modern days
in ten city
a modern word
for mortal signs
the modern way of life
in ten city
look me in the eye
she’s looking at
her massive black bag
tossing it to me leaving it
a hunch from the big sleep
far too real
from the suffering between
the massive bag and the dead
either way no turning back
in ten city
the modern world
in ten city
I’m waiting for
a few words or more
then she is out of the door
I grab her package
the glass pane between us
she forms a BOOM!
with her hands
turns around
runs away
in ten city
the modern world
the modern times
the modern days
in ten city
a modern word
for mortal signs
the modern way to die
in ten city
the modern world
the modern times
the modern days
how I wish it were a scene
from someone else’s dream
in ten city
suddenly the world turns
into a waking hell
ii. Locked In The Tube
locked in the tube
knew how to move in this city
knew how to circle in line
and all the subway underground
me and tons of people spread around
[ escaping into a dream: nights in andalusia ]
[ re-awaking: the urban rules / locked in the tube ]
in ten city

Waken (Aroused)
04:31
|

rising from the ashes
turn night into gold
wipe away the goblins from my eyes
glide in urban anger
in this city’s smog
that's the price for opening the light
waken
it is time
taken
by surprise
in ten city
rising from the ashes
turn night into gold
a hideaway an airtight alibi
waken
it is time
taken
by surprise
face it
all the time
in ten city
longing for an addicting sense of life
I can feel its breeze all the time
it’s coming
glide in urban anger
in the city smog
that's the price for being in ten city
in ten city

Beyond Mediocity (Eased)
05:11
|
|||
|
I'm dissolving
I'm convolving
turn into something
beyond mediocrity
I'm resolving
into nothing
be
nobody evermore
here
nobody'll ever find my place
in time
waiting here
nobody'll ever see me fade away
time is flowing
I'm revolving
in the forests
beyond my atrocity
I'm evolving
quite consoling
and be
nobody evermore
here
nobody'll ever find my place
in time
waiting here
nobody'll ever see me fade away

face the condescension
and the phlegmatism
every move robotic
now the key is turning
time is frozen for the
time implosion's lasting
echoes in the hallway
see the future blurring
it's the end of the world
but I missed it
can you repeat it
yes I missed it
because I wanna be there
is this the end?
white walls testify
the emptiness that's left here
unexpected how
the end can be surprising
it's the end of the world
but I missed it
can you repeat it
yes I missed it
it's the end of the world
but I missed it
can you repeat it
yes I want to be there
it's the end of the world
because I wanna be there
