Meet the beat savant, rhythmic seamstress, Priest of all things down tempo, Tape loop makes you go mental Sacraments in the form of electromagnetic strips Smooth glitch, scratch without the itching needle needed No rotation here, but the gears of my walkman Fortresses built on strokes of pens Smokey tape spool ends, mends, and are made whole again New life breathed into things locked away in memories of yesterday Forgotten technology, becomes a smouldering cacophony Of notch filtered honesty, caught by magnetic diaphragms and transferred to words not written by hand, in a language never spoken, in a sea of unbroken binary you'll find me. Beside this Ghost in the machine. Heard but never seen Curse the final scene It ends without relief Ghost in the machine. Heard but never seen Curse the final scene It ends without relief

Been struggling a bit with this concept of consciousness Swamped a bit, by thoughts I'm haunted, forming daunting counterfeits I'm out-of-it, been dazed and confused, blazed and miss-used, I've strayed from the truth, faded into the maze I stepped into. Cos at age 12, I felt my brain swell, opening realms of possibility to me and I began to see Candidly, understanding fantasies are lands in me, As real as those my hands can see so began to plan accordingly. Calling me, a voice heard before in different forms A swarm of hornets upon the storm, a herd of horns afoot the dawn. But these wilder beasts bewilder me, Willing me to see, But I only understand a grain of sand beneath sea Still treating these fantasies quite candidly but I'm still commanding these Hands to scan for grander plans Replacing these demands to be a standard man With ones a' grandeur in a blander expanse Hands up, who's got a heads up man Fed up, with state I'm in Stand up, for the fire within Wakeup, come on lets begin. I chase the Zeitgeist through the dark night Navigate by the starlight Break through the dark side And we wake in the hard light Unfortunately for me Partying's been a high priority Pardon the pun, can't say its not been fun but I sucked the fun from underneath My dancing feet and now beneath there Lies a beast With sunken eyes, Drunken alibis Flying till the sun will rise Trying drink the well thats dry Cover the cries that're gettin nearer Chemical grin up in the mirror And though I try To seize the dream and grab it Know the Gollum hold of habit Gotta shake this monkey addict Groomin himself, loomin in stealth mode Makin himself a home In what I held closer than bone I deserve the throne But been served a phoney counterfeit Fucked if I don't get out of it Cant escape the sound of it Cowering now, aint proud of it The hours now upon me To shake the hold thats on me Lets awake the darkened army To disarm whats armed to harm me But I've been killing myself slowly with the drugs the government sold me Like 2 bouncer thugs at a nightclub these fucken drugs have got a hold on me Stolen, my self control, Folding this hand I hold Addiction leads to sickness From boldness now to weakness To simultaneously deplete the light I try to find a binding for Droppin the ball all over the floor while I'm striven for the higher score Face to face With this beast that I've created None to blame See the man that I've become and I fuckin hate him I'm nameless, shame has take the place of those I came with I try to contain it, but this fears relentless, Its its got me tempted Considering avenues I wouldn't normally use, Confusion is the usual Delusion is centrifugal Its difficult, to keep my bearings as Im aware loosin you But fuck I'm choosing to But I swear I'm movin through this back to you Please don't turn you back to me I know I've acted selfishly I can't help the hold they have on me I need you now so desperately The night is always darkest Just before the dawn Please just sing to me through this sickness Otherwise I know I'm Gone So I fight to make this harm right Shake the hold from inside And as we break through the dark side We wake in the hard light Trace the trail back to you Exactly like you intended to Face the night and move on through Realise the light I always knew

I'm just a soul whose intention is good Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Super real dream reveal I Built the wheel, all on my own This rolling stones no home for moss anymore Shake it off, I wake to soft now, Comfortable behind the eyebrows. I devour sounds, by the bowlful My souls new, shiny, squeaky clean, I intervened, time to mention I'm better now than never as I was headed down, Half breaths, Full stops after every sentence. Periods of near beheading, sending wrong messages along, Guillotine dreams Even though I heard the song, her melody was wrong Misconstrued by substances I used Interfered with, unclear, Tarnished armour Unarmed kamakazi Bar stool warmer Former champ fantasies Hampered me Obsessed with whats left of the the past Just a couple empty glasses and some faded photographs I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Back in action, though lots has happened, Got nada to show, bazaar how fast the years go, slip past at a rate of knots, its scary, Not wary of all the time I've lost, try to dent the cost. Disregard regret, accept: whats lost is lost. Now back behind the automobile wheel Just before we careened to the ravines floor Saw circling four voltures holster empty Drenched in sweat, no heart left, in the middle of the desert. Munchin on this peyote cactus Inaccurately mislead, In to believing all the seeing needed is within the skin of this entheogen Ha, Never again. Don't be thinking I've, Closed my third eye tight for a life of clean whites and early nights Yeah right! Please, Don't let me be this glass half empty zombie Wandering, Reflecting back at me from the laptop screen Please Don't let me be this coulda been grandpa standing in his faded jeans Recounting scenes of who he shoulda have been. Combat the screams, with these beats I use to treat disease Weasel out the weakness in me Feed the beast that eats the bleeding heart I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Lord don't let me be this ignorant submissive invalid Wishing for a change but too insnared to move away Lord don't let me waste another moment for regret Another wishing what was left Another missing whats be said Lord let me begin to realise whats buried in my mind And not to be misguided, Handle misunderstanding right Let me understand that all l'll ever need is self belief All answer come from deep within And life is mine So lets begin

Lights On 02:56
I wanna fuck you with the lights on Let me fuck you with the lights on I wanna fuck you wit the lights on Let me fuck you with the lights on You're like a Pokemon I wanna peekatchu Creepin through your window late at night so I can sleep with you. Speakin of sleeping, I've been dreaming of you recently I fiend to find the reason you been sneakin in my private lucid dreams. Fuck butterflies you give me vultures in my insides Circling around, Deciding when to swoop and make a move. Like a moth to a flame I'm into you, whats your name? Cant shake off this feeling Like a million hornets swarming Getting warm in here like saunas Wanna call your name in all directions Fend off raging erections Like staged interventions I'm addict with a dick who'd like to stick it you How'd that fit? I wanna fuck you with the lights on Let me fuck you with the lights on I wanna fuck you wit the lights on Let me fuck you with the lights on Sister, you've got this mister fist deep Got me weak at the knees Feelin like christopher reeves I wanna taste of ya lips Not the ones around ya mouth I mean the ones between ya hips Let me try those suckers out I got a package that you're quite pleased to receive We work like hippies and peace And fuck like trippers love trees I rip you to pieces But your pleased for beating Pleading for me to sink my teeth into your fingers till your bleeding I wish that I had a magic wand To turn you on Let me be the song  You hum along Let me taste your blood We make the love Wake the neighbours Shake me till we come I wanna fuck you with the lights on Let me fuck you with the lights on I wanna fuck you wit the lights on Let me fuck you with the lights on

I've got a case to make against All these homosapiens Trapsing round the place Makin a mess, and raping what is sacred. Feel like a fish, No longer fond of being in water Aughta grow a pair of legs and wander from this pond and evolve a conscience Making me nauseous All this noise And whats the cause of it? We all blindly ignore Whats at the core of human Nature It's pretty simple to say mate, Hate to say it But Its nature Its fair to say that she's the major creator The later we recognise And try to fight against the tides The quicker we die Its simple as pie Making a face whenever I state my case Like "whats this shifty hippie talkin bout?" Get out my face Pretty easy to ignore When the problems not at your door But a few degrees more And you'll be feel warming for sure. We're all consumption fiends Living beyond our means In a constant war to source The next resource At any cost I don't mean to make a fuss but we're fuckin this place up Theres only one cup to go round And we're fast approaching running out We should be returning to the earth not Not discerning what its worth We're risking our children's birth And fisting what humans deserve Which is eternal and resides within the eyes of every newborn child Took me a while to decide My lifes purpose on this Earth But after all this hurt Its time to heal this mind for real this time And build this ecotopia All hippie jokes aside I've realised its why Im alive So come inside Its really nice Moneys a funny thing A human creation thats intoxicating Claiming Stocks and rocks of gold are equal in its eyes Surprisingly, as one I can hold and touch and the others just made up. What the fuck? A modern day fairy tale We've empowered to devour us Cowering now beneath the crush Of industrialised society we must Simplify and find the yin to the yang I'm thinking we can But'll it'll take a great plan And every woman and man You think you manage Think you're up to the challenge? I recon we can all evolve And learn to solve the problems we've ignored And all the problems we've caused Without a bullet or sword or even mentioning the Lord Just as a start I'm building an Ark outta Art Get on board Before it pours We are all ignorant victims Of archaic, failing systems Designed on principles Not aligned with individuals. No reference toward human potential at all We dilute to meek appropriations Doom the fate of human nations. We cheapen what is priceless Let dollar signs define us The cost is what divides us Not what lives inside us As doomsday looms a day away Its not too late to make a change For our children's sake reshape our ways Our brains are made to make intelligent steps Then how'd we let Our surrounds get wrecked For a few pounds and cents Its mental We've all ransacked the temple Bitten off the hand that fed you Squandered the land that bred you I'm not innocent either but I'm trying to change my mind set to align with mother nature as the signs are inescapable We're perfectly capable of shaping a place thats sustainable Without draining the life-force of every plant and animal Lets serve within the frame work The earth has perfectly made for us Crucify the ego And realise we're all the same love

I'm sick of wasting in this inner city interference Mental Greyscale chain-mail draped across my chest My best defend against the pressures of a set of modern atrocities Brought about by store bought oddities, lost in a sea of common place commodities. Cant shake off the feeling its not for me. I'm off to see the sea and sky what ever might be in-between I highly suggest you try to invest your dwindling time in meaning to find the meaning of life As I have been trying hard but this sea's not easy to chart Choppy at the start, Get my barings by staring at the stars Palm full of far from harmful fungus, uncover the smiling child umoung us Hear the mountains call from all sides My Lifeblood runs deep, by the riverside, Find silence the loudest cry Get away from the city skyscrapers And try to make the greatest escape Breath deep release: Peak beneath the trees Meet the serpent first hand As she stands strong before me Theres more to see for you and I than meets the eye An aztec priestess grows to greet me Test the depths of perception freely Beneath a canopy of banskia trees Manifest the insight to alter the finite Willingly we die tonight Meet the morning light reborn Forged in golden sight Restore the righteous Fight the christ metaphor Build my own gods from things that night I saw Sing to me softly through the trees Move close to me Shape shift fixed points On fractal axles I saw more than before You strayed from the trees And made me believe With strong steps enter here Circumvent fear, with a history of mystic healers Fearless warriors on bare foot Odysies Honesty our philosophies pockets full up of what I see To take back and shape fascination Translate the space ships I came face to face with Mental makeshift rafts to chart waters no explorers Been before, seeing more than ever with better intention Meetin medicine men To remedy sins Aquired within By lives that've been Clearin the slate Hearing the ancients call We all came Face to face with That which is sacred And thats whats aim is To decipher the name That God gave Us

Biggest Fan 03:17
Got me screaming like Maynard James Keenan Too much rage against the machines got me believing these MC dreams Slim shady paved the way from an early age Gotta be Slipknot, to blame for all this adolescent rage Muse too played their part In me endeavouring to perfect the art Set the controls for the heart of the suns the one which let me venture into territory Never before explored in me And Korn too's a corner stone on which I learned the ropes Eternal hope to one day spray mics In everyday life Raise a champagne flute to all the bands who Offered all the beautiful music Thats influenced how I to do this Fuck studying my tape of NWA I know the part they played And respect the path they made But I'd rather blast my car apart Pumping stairway or I dare say Linkin Park As they started this insistent fire in my heart of Hearts We've all got the albums that introduced us to music Thats helped us move through this And this is just a toast to those I love most So don't judge Just bring the love And stick those stinkfists up Lets not forget Black Eyed Peas Listen to tracks at fifteen Before they met Fergie Helping me bridge the gap, Between rock and rap Smokin pot to fat tracks Rockin my discman in back pack System Of A Down blaring out the system loud Floyd got me zooming to the dark side of the moon And with two a clenched fist Just a kid of 16 Dived into a Slipknot slam pit Damn that shit was mean! Roger Waters got me not conforming to merely believing All I am is just a brick in a wall Then Tool came along With their songs Prompted me stare inside and tear open my third eye S I R A K reminiscing on all the tracks from back in the day What a way to spend a life Riding high on musical vibes Wouldn't change it for the world As made my creativity unfurl Stick those fist up for all the shit you love Wanna see a sea of hands I'm your biggest fan, understand From your first track Makin you hurt your back Worth it for the first hand understanding, not just a band Everything you stand for I've absorbed Once a boy Now a man Makin his own noise Inescapable Impressions that you've made are true And I thank you Shakin your hand man, just fan to fan
