Limit 03:54
A pounding attack of darkness, A pounding attack of tension, Desperate for the very dark monsters, The obscene confront their memory, I want to let go of your pathology. Numbers suffer patterns, Her silly brain slips in my garden, Abuse cries, bound in shock, I want to let go of your paradox. Witness the expansion, Instant separation, Rare intervention, Perpetuate constriction, Connection in rejection, Injection perfection. Information impulses, Engender states, Damp disease transform and breaks, The terminal doctrine skewed, The eternal rage is screwed. Darker I am failing, What is your limit? We walk a crazy story, Darker I am falling, Where is your limit? I kill myself in your dreams every night, Darker I am frightening, When is my limit? My chronic scary trigger, My precious enemy fades, The eruption keeps in vigour, Tremendous pain race. This session is diluted, Glass benchmark refuted, I want to let go of your... Lost choice, last refusal, Roads of motivation, Images of relief, Crave the trouble of the grave. Mistakes deny fear, Demon semen stings, Embrace in a meadow, Shadow maintains disdain for balance, Sick pleasure exposes distractions. The conscious code, Poisonous spirit, The aloof tell the truth, I blame your hostile pressure. Store the raining maggots, Go around the reigning dragon, Frozen dangerous lack, Disturbing frittered fact.

Warning 05:24
This is a warning and a threat, This is a warning and a threat. [x2] This is a warning and a threat, This is a warning and a threat. [x6] You can win, You failed the test. [x4] I went to buy an owl, And I want to buy a squirrel. [x6] Someone stole my friend’s recorder. [x2] I went to buy an owl, And I want to buy a squirrel. [x6] A stone on the tip of your nose. This is a warning and a threat, This is a warning and a threat. [x6] This is a warning and a threat, This is a warning and a threat. [x2]

Answer 03:24
The first trees in the corner with weird timing drinking coffee, Banging her computer with fond memories of the special place, The bronze marker, Educated mountains, Squinting in the direction, No good answer, Numerous wonders, Entire mistakes, Grabbing as they rush, Catheter full of blood, Rainbow hair, Wanting a role model, Embrace choice, Cotton ponies, Chocolate giraffes, Twenty minutes to the fridge, Train station secrets, About to turn, Engaging features, Understand the situation, Time and time again the first and last, Trains moving in another timeline, Endure the darkness, Build the fear, Something horrible, It sat on her desk, Thin lipped mouths, He hesitated, Safe from danger, Descending towards her, Something caught her eye, He didn’t hear the car, She wants to sleep all the time, She’s meant to be in vain anguish, Green vines leaving a gap in the highway, Beyond the bend in the stream, She opened drawers less than a year, He failed the forest burned, Raw fish this one was different, Another excuse, That’s what you’re telling me, The end of marriage shaded lane, Nervous, weakness sitting in the sun, She knew the answer [repeated at least 10x]
4.
Waves 02:30
Mother I’ll be really really good, She blossomed, blossomed, blossomed, Turbulent flesh. Breaking the waves, breaking the waves, Breaking the waves, breaking the waves. Indulge the heavy world representations which end too, Dear heaven’s bells, dear heaven’s bells This section is all wrong, wrong Breaking the waves, breaking the waves. Breaking the waves, breaking the waves. Breaking the waves, breaking the waves.
5.
He 01:58
He finds himself forgetting his fear, He’s frightened he feels hated. He found his fault his family, Homeless for hopeless for hurting.
6.
Windshield 02:43
The door key in and out, You will open life to power, Imagine figures of light, Dance in the radio. Weekend festival, Time in a national park, Their next meal, Crack in the windshield, Saw the result in a tree, tree Distracted by an avalanche, The will is on, Selling from your dreams, His eyes are dimmed. Weekend festival, Time in a national park, Their next meal, Crack in the windshield, Saw the result in a tree, tree Drink and do not do good, Your pill possesses, The ugly hell coffee, But I cant control myself. Weekend festival, Time in a national park, Their next meal, Crack in the windshield, Saw the result in a tree, tree Have everyone just wait up and live! [x16]

Club 02:21
Tart conditions, Embraced with lovely blood, Intensify the muddy water, So it’s quite a to do. Pop and swallow, This baby can hug air, Smile and trouble, Oh honey it could solve everything. Come take a dump of miracles, Where feet are fingers, And cats tongue my chest, This good shirt was fair, was fair, was fair, was fair. There is room at the club, Cool neighbourhood talk, You always make it anyway. Good virgin heart, out late, You work weirder, My cigarette box touching hands, touching hands, touching hands. Faster higher stranger, But it is in no club, Sloppy procrastination, Forever enjoy this great quality breakfast [x9] [x3]
8.
Cave 00:47
Illusion in the, illusion in the, illusion in the, illusion in the cave. Indication of, indication of, indication of, indication of conflict. I just, I just, look all, look all bad. Don’t touch me.
9.
Appointment 03:42
I am tired, I want to go to sleep, My soul is wired, No point in counting sheep. I made a mistake [x5] Trying to write a song, But I can barely hold a thought. I have an appointment, That I forgot about, I have this appointment, That I cannot do without. It’s still hours away, Why can't he hurry up? There’s nothing to say, It’s just my fucking luck. I’m already dreaming [x9] I’m already
10.
Spirit 01:43
Pain enjoyed me because you opened it with dreams, Invaded by strange metalicising vegetation, Erase the deeply ingrained patterns. Penetrate the spirit with silent imagery, Life here is full of inconsequential complexities [x4] The will shall show on those you bring on me.
11.
Roll 01:32
O C D, O C D. Pink dots, Cat magnets, Roll in glitter, Roast cheese, Chai tea, Rolling like Sonic, Escaping the Matrix, A perfect bubble cat, And back and forth and back again, Deep down I’m all over the place.
12.
Abscessed 07:15
Comely consul in Bezique, Tess of the swamp uses a leek. Ray sees a heath of glass, Wasp and rat and elf in a gore bath. My member on the stove does tow and tell, Cot for a poodle when the poodle yells. Roger’s eyes meet Gary’s ears, Rise winged peri and row my lonely friable fears. Punky lesbians looking for Felix’s frock, Gag the feckless losing Scot. A Turk takes a nap on a schooner, Third pavane is hers in June on the lunar. Hold my verdant bra for a sou, Dream a voracious Cuban ado. Carl ends the troll on his harvest, Let the pair have lipo on their arses. Pelt and whip sweet old Joe, Groom setter coot’s irksome foe. Mayor’s octet makes a Batman arc, Pernicious dent in a cream-coloured kayak. Igor’s pole boi on the Borzoi express, Oldmaid was a trenchant pest. John plays gold on a pontoon, Sextet in a precipitous dune. Quiet minatory dog diver, Squash down my boorish Zulu tiger. Cricket gem in a major pen, Rowing to an affair with a corpulent hen. Ron fibs about Nigel’s tongs, Brat septet dies from Taiwan’s wrongs. Serpentine Julius twists Liam, A polka array of Tony’s towny museum. Coach lamb cut her querulous ear, Bela fingers a goblin’s buccaneer. Tire goblet in his vintage cot, Laos the metal dump blood clot. Use an arm in a meta decade, A quiescent quintet of pairs strayed. Clare pours iron all demure, Begs my enemy on a tremulous moor. Heal the dowdy archers in a jug, Elephant gore keep pain loving drugs. Moon level dubs a shabby storm, Aunt Sherry in her waltz ogre form. Rock embers make caustic chi, Samba wine in the magic Arab Indies. Bowls of fives with Ann the bat, Pale in Denver like life lay a trio on a mule’s splat. The lachrymose queen minim will cry, Giant bottles of whisky where arch tales die. Jorn’s zealous mermaid breath, Canasta Willie plays canasta on meth. A dragon raps on a step on a lake, Lost a pint of Arthur’s errors in wake. Gold me to the end and I’ll really squeal, Gnomes on the moor watch a purple reel. Fred’s caddy list lift keeper, Saint Ron’s bottle ale creeper. Red mead under the lost mirror memoir, My Rome diver drowned in a contumacious car. Sir Mars Antonin is abundantly useless, Leer and ogle a late beetle’s cuteness. Lee goes on Ebay to buy a pixie, Ludwig sire’s third madam is tricksy. Char my amatory hand flute, Less of ore when boxer’s peak computes. Naples is guileless and drier, ABBA hat mixer with effulgent wine. Franz family junk wins the temple, Wins a red sieve and withering pestle. Human John owns raw beet mace, Sergei slams a bottle into Cher’s turgid face. My histrionic eye on a boat at noon, A mambo Serb in a concomitant conga swoon. Mug on a plate in a cerulean tent’s drawer, Vending parsley from a luminous ship’s claw. A heart sundered up a sagacious age, Jude’s rooster of defamatory law backstage. Cesar the bilious bellicose dwarf, A quarte of petulant pervasive carp morphs. Pug poker rummy duo whiffs, Spasmodically snap all the Mastiffs. Paler gin stories lift the lid of the deed, Drinking hock from verdant pond weed. Rock the collie raft quadrille, A titled Czech garrulously barks at a grill. Tumbling down an orchestral knoll, Faith in the very rhadamanthine sol. Risible water bees mock King Lear, A Wessex Kurd becomes a Dublin lion in a sphere. Oi! Doug, please watch Jimmy punt, We are yellow in the native vale we grunt. Tired Slav in a hubristic vest, Lean in the bog with an abscessed breast. Rugby nonet of a ferry bridge survivor, Don’t harm Hildegard the sagacious wiver. Soulful tree in a judicious low glen, An anti-beagle fashioned limpid jeans again.
13.
Spacewalk 02:52
On a spacewalk to, To the end of my mind, Eyes are shiny with fear, I am dying and I’m happy, On a spacewalk for putting an end to it all. I don’t want this please can you stop this please? I know it’s too late too late you are so far away, Know I love you always try to forget me please, On a spacewalk spacewalk you will forget my face.
14.
Boy 02:04
This madness has me, It’s the rose, World as canvas, For us now. Look there that’s their ghost boy, Look there that’s their ghost boy, I wait to know you kid, I wait to know you kid. Five keys into the body, Why help a dreamless boy, I shake back the sights from you, Taste your pretty polished truth. You look little, You feel you really know it all, A grateful statue dreams brave, Relax and have what you own. Another gateway pattern [x3] dated. These pocket treasure sculptures [x3] sated. Kitchen death dreams turn great, It will kill the night stuff, If he wonders.
15.
Submit 01:33
The rejected stone, You come where taste is wanted, Completely preserved. Meeting invisible obstacles, Tragic flaw, hole in the soul, Help me off to its dark shit. The interrelatedness of all things, Submit it at yours, Irritated and drowsy. Changing the existing reality, Hysterical contagion, Suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer, Resistance.
16.
Demons 02:03
Tell him that I, I love him, Brush his closed window. The gravest childlikeness, I find myself stupid. Upstanding fucker appears lonely, The trying affection of tempting good help, The simplicity of great rivers, I saw the angel in the marble. This evil world helping him exist, Imagine the place, Happy birthday, happy birthday, Another kind of innocence. Infinite nucleus of the night, We give the great flesh fortune, Stay and let him not die, We understand those demons, Our unencumbered life goals, I only run on you babe.
17.
Foggy 02:50
Chain around your neck, Two in the morning, Black is dark, We succumb to a clay box. Foggy words, Painful feelings, I am unwell occasionally, Where were you? [x8] Choose suicide, The infantile state, The dark. Grip the fear, Shake the void, Fear the fall. Vibrations drawn in space, I seem a bit empty, Harassed by ambience, Quiet desperation. The ground is burning, I am tired, The fearful strain upon me, I have seen the enemy. Nothing to report, Life is almost dead, Addressing the disturbed mind, Six months eight months, Carrying your own universe.
18.
Becoming 01:49
Vile energy, Unconscious water, Forever flawed, Stealing suicide, Positive demon, Poison heart, Dissolve anger, Seed born, Multiple ventings, Anonymous listening, Becoming incongruous [x4] Vibrating motion, Obsessive fear, Light on the shadow [x8]
19.
Permission 01:27
I’m of everything but earth, The doctor admitted fault, He offers me out there, Such bad help came my way. Imagine one knife, I promise to behave, I saw it hurts your hands, I’m beginning to ease. To keep a lonesome distance, That phone call together, No one has an idea. Just waiting for permission to die.
20.
Star 00:57
That shining twined string that stretched to space towards the sun [x2] They slowed themselves to see that sun that stabbed their soul [x2] Their star turns silent they sigh they smile they think [x2] Then space turns to speak to say [x5]
21.
Tower 02:08
Do you remember that night, When we sat on the tower? Settling, setting the tower aflame, Watching the tower go up in light? That tower burned in our name, We sat on the tower glowing, It licked at our feet as we turned to flame. It reached our nose, Consumed our feet and went through us unopposed.
22.
Thriller 00:47
The thriller fills her with fear, The thriller thriller thriller, The thriller thriller thriller, The thriller thriller fills her with fear. Of skateboarding and masochism [x4]
23.
Bone 01:43
I could see the bone, The story was over, A perfect moment, A perfect moment, Unspoken understanding, No illusion, all this Unwanted unwanted unwanted Analysis analysis analysis [x2]
24.
Antichrist 02:21
Antichrist [x8] Antichrist [x7] Chaos reigns [x4] Antichrist [x12]
25.
Walrus 01:16
Staring into a leaf blower, Laying an egg the size of an amphitheatre. Friends with squiggles and unicorns and Dying in a puddle of philosophical porn. The chicken rose to kiss me, Against a forty thousand strong army. Really wet marmalade, Giving a mime artist a live grenade. The stripper is rattled, Like a walrus flopping through a minefield. Roast swan flavour broth, Using an elephant whip on a moth.
26.
Remain 03:32
Remain calm [x20] Remain calm [x12] Remain calm [x20] Remain calm [x12]
27.
Wallow 00:47
You may think you have no restraint, That thing you think simply cannot wait, But before you wallow in that torment, Consider you might just be living in the moment.
28.
Clouds 04:00
A crying horse in your bedroom, Eighty kittens on a bouncy castle, Socks full of custard, Walking backwards into the sea. Burning to death in a bin, Fascist sloth, Parkour goats and sheep bombs, I fell in the pond. Playing with lasers, Mermaid ice-cream, Ambulance smashed up by a speeding train, Tasty balloons and evil jellies. Seven swans playing rugby, Bag of wet, wet pasta, Your mum is a scoundrel, Frizzy frizzy frizzy frizzy frizzy bitch. Ice demons doing heroin brownies, Hiding in the washing machine, Beans on garlic bread, Clouds in a traffic jam.
29.
Threads 02:07
Demanded more from the sunset, More from interstellar silence. The outsiders joined the others, They drained our instincts. The sympathetic threads, Attend to boring signals. Burning a noble purpose, The other dead thing takes check. Arcadian mountain house, Crossing to the other shore. I’d like to dream without puzzle, To believe the hooker who can hardly read. Of kids that cannot handle failure stunned and depressed.
30.
Anxiety 01:44
Marshmallow beer and Bucks Fizz, Custard doughnuts and Moon Rocks. Throwing buttplugs at whispering pedestrians. Brutally murdered by the Teletubbies. Sketching random nails on paper, Kicking a woman in the pet shop. Wartime recipes and Wikipedia articles, What are you working on? Calculations on the toilet, Powerhouse generators. Pheasant in the bushes, Coal mine kittens, Stroking a hedgehog’s chin, Stealthy giraffe, Sweaters for badgers. Cheeseburger onesie, Regurgitate an earring, Slowly eating toast and burning a steak. Anxiety fucking.
