Intro To Self-Help
04:54
|
|||
|
I've got to help myself, I can't help anybody else
I've got to help myself
I've got to help myself, I can't help anybody else
I've got to help myself, it's crucial for my health
So calm most of the time but sides of me are quite intense
I've got to help myself, I can't keep thinking i'm a prince
I'm a bleeding narcissist
I've got to help myself
I've got to help myself, I can't help anybody else
I've got to help myself
I've got to help myself, I can't help anybody else
I've got to help myself, it's crucial for my health
You like to feed your ego
yes, your ego's still alive
You haven't killed your ego
Yes, your ego's still alive
You've got to help yourself, you can't just take drugs for your health
You've got to help yourself
Time to evolve
Time to evolve beyond self-pity
Self-pity
I've got to help myself
You've got to help yourself
Yourself
(I've got to help myself, I can't help anybody else
I've got to help myself
I've got to help myself, I can't help anybody else
I've got to help myself)
You've got to help yourself

There's Only So Much
03:52
|
|||
|
There's only so much
Cognitive dissonance that one person can handle
There's only so much
Cognitive dissonance that one person can stand
There's only so much
Benefit of the doubt that one person can doubt
There's only so much
Time in this system, we're stuck
We need to step out somehow
There's only so much (x4)
There's only so much
Arbitrary emotion I can hang from my walls
There's only so much
Speaking to people who'll never get me at all
There's only so much
They'll choose to understand
There's only so much
I can stand
There's only so much (x4)
There are only so many
Impostors I choose not to say that I know what they're hiding
There are only so many
Things I can hold back so here I am putting it all in writing
There's only so much (x10)

Falling Off
04:29
|
|||
|
I'm running out of time
I can't wait in line
And logic precedes reason
And I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off (x2)
It seems like the sand in your hourglass
At risk of it's final fall
It seems like the crystal bells are tolling and it's
For you they call
I've seen it all (x3)
A sentimental surge
A detrimental purge
I was on the floor for hours
Praying to the power
And I keep falling off
I keep falling off (x2)
It seems like the sand in your hourglass
At risk of it's final fall
It seems like the crystal bells are tolling and it's
For you they call
I've seen it all (x3)
Well I underwent the hypnosis
You gave me my true prognosis
You figured me out somehow
You figured me out somehow
I keep falling off (x4)

Flowered Mind Games
03:46
|
|||
|
All of my life
I've been too kind
No longer will I play
Their flowered mind games (x4)
So don't you play their flowered mind games, honey
All they care about is money
So don't you play their flowered mind games, honey
There's more important things in life than money
Than money
No more, no more
No money, no money
Don't you play their flowered mind games no more
No more
Don't play their flowered mind games no more

Logos Ray Shine
03:02
|
|||
|
Always in doubt, always in doubt
Always in doubt
And that's usually why things seem to never work out
They say have fun
They tell me have fun
They say have fun
But it's so hard to have fun when there is no sun
So Lord, let there be light
So Lord, let there be light
And with all of your might
Let your logos ray shine

Secular Demon
03:22
|
|||
|
I'm a secular demon in molecular Eden
Dead you were, heathen, from the apple you've eaten
Secular demon in molecular Eden
Dead you were, heathen, from the apple you've eaten
And i'm the master of my own destiny
At least that's what I'm trying to convince myself
I've got the positivity breathing down my neck
The negative is creeping out, but it's not gone yet
No, it's not gone yet
Still got plenty of hellfire in my worldview
Please believe me when I say that I love you
It might be harder to believe in from a secular demon
I'm a secular demon in molecular Eden
Dead you were, heathen, from the apple you've eaten
Secular demon in molecular Eden
Dead you were, heathen, from the apple you've eaten
And you're the master of your own destiny
It didn't take long to convince me

Clear Eye
03:55
|
|||
|
A dance for rain
I made the water flow
Such cascading precision
It's falling at my toes
A dance for rain
Wash away sins and fears
Rid the world of all it's evil
Hurricane for a hundred years
A dance for rain
A dance for rain
Materializing my reality in the pavilion
In the pavilion
My eyes are clear now
Third eye is clear now
A dance for rain
I made the water flow
A dance for rain

Hollow For Yourself
04:14

|
Deep lotus pavilion
I'm not a god, i'm a civilian
You may tell yourself
That you're special
But don't feed the ego
For that's the devil
Pavilion
You're not yourself acting like a chameleon
You may tell yourself
That you're unique
When in reality you're an absolute fake
Yeah, I said it
Deep lotus pavilion
I'm not a god, i'm a civilian
Civilian
Civilian
Civilian
You've got to stop feeling so hollow
You've got to stop feeling so hollow for your self
Hollow for yourself
You've got to stop feeling so hollow
You've got to stop feeling so hollow for yourself
Hollow for yourself
(continuous)
