[Intro: Allie Winters]

It’ll all be over soon


[Verse 1: Conner Tomlinson]

Fuseli, Goya, paint me your mark

Eschatonic landscapes crooked and scarred

Hands like calcite coming out the walls

Insideout striations on the bones

Fuseli, Goya, make me your art

Literally viscerally pull me apart

Hands like calcite coming out the walls

Insideout striations on the bones

God said you're to blame (pressure building over rating)

Everybody float away (pressure building systems breaking)

Run run radiation (pressure building steam escaping)

There’s a killing ground wherе you’re heading

(pressurе pressure pressure pressure)

Fuseli, Goya, paint me your mark

Coagulated blood, shit, animal parts

Running out of faces and I’m running out of cards

Hands like calcite coming out the walls


[Skit: Allie Winters]

*knock knock knock*

Are you in there?


[Verse 2: Conner Tomlinson]

My body's like cotton

Following the way back scratched on the walls

I met a widow who revealed to me

That every 80 years they’d be back again to reap

Reduce dissolve I'll try to recall

Why we all float away we all float away

I am to blame, it's a curious thing

How we all float away, we all float away


[Verse 3: Conner Tomlinson]

On the fortieth day now the rain has stopped

I'm so fucking tired and my teeth are all gone

Burning incense of wretched formaldehyde

It's only a means to escape this decay

(Bree)

On the first day I feel the walls splintering 

On the next day I feel my eyes blistering

On the third day I feel nothing at all

(Woah woah) (Woah woah)

(Oh woah) (Woah ah)

It’s quiet tonight

Where have you been

‘Cause heaven’s been failing in a landslide

Don’t talk right now

I don’t know when I’ll see you again


[Skit: Telephone (AI)]

*Ringing* There is a caller with a view of your body

*Ringing* There is a caller with a view of your body

*Ringing* There is a caller with a view of your body

*Mandrill screeching*


[Segue]

Pie Jesu domine, dona eis requiem

Pie Jesu domine, dona eis requiem

Pie Jesu domine, dona eis requiem


[Verse 4: Conner Tomlinson]

Psychic bloodsports infrastructure absurd

Neurofucking network rhizomatic kudzu crawling

Unseen unscarred underneath a bad star

Wonder how your hands are hold it steady coming at you

Forearm skin freak number of the beast

Cut bone deep deprived of any ceremony

No one's listening and no one seems to be alarmed

When advised about pressure warning

Catatonic fucking lies

Lacerations across the inside

Oh God oh fuck just kill me now

Before my bones decay and my teeth fall out

Heaven would regurgitate your acid soul

Burning the larynx of God and putting an end to the Word

Rain may come and victimize you

Get beat with the chain that signifies you

Rain may come and victimize you

Get beat with the chain that signifies

[Bridge: Conner Tomlinson, Allie Winters]

In my dreams I've been still as amber, I won't leave this time

Instantly everything's perfect and I’d trade a decade in a heartbeat for tonight

We can love in the place where hell and heaven used to meet

I'll pour my life into you, you'll pour forever into me (ah)

(Oh, woah) (Oh, woah)

(Oh, oh, oh, woah)

(Oh, woah, woah)

(Oh, woah, oh, woah)

[Skit: Julian Geiger, Jane Ferry]

We can’t keep doing this

What do you mean?

It's been ten years, it's time to pull the plug

Bruh, don't say that

He's a fucking vegetable, look at him!

Dude!

Braindead!

What's wrong with you?

A limp, worthless piece of stupid. fucking. meat

Shut up!


[Verse 5: Conner Tomlinson]

Dreizehn vierzehn funfzehn sechzehn

Fliegen fressen fliegen fressen

Neunzehn achtzehn siebzehn sechsen

Fliegen fressen fliegen fressen

Good God bless the cold weight pulling on my tongue

All red, all white, all everybody saw

Was a slack-jawed cowboy clawing at the arm

Shut the water off quick man everybody's gone

There's a message in the scriptures that I shouldn't have ignored

There's a callous information junkie passed out on the floor

You're gonna drown little man it's Nakasone on the line

Says he knows what you've been doing and there's nowhere you can hide

Lord save us it's a bitter shame

Spread out facedown on the interstate

Run bomb shells to town for the ministry

You learn to bite and to think like a centipede

Interesting symmetry, livestock going mad

They're dying by the masses and they're under your command

You're gonna drown out your nightmares with ice and some bourbon

But what the fuck will you do when the mirrors stop working

Don't go too far in one direction, disinterment, dereliction

Free and honest fair elections, neon bombs, and thought correction

Formulaic reproduction, manufactured interruption

Always talking self-construction always talking always talking

I saw you floating again I think I know where I stand

I've heard a lot about your cities and their tunnels of hands

I saw you floating again it's all a delicate plan

I've heard a lot about your cities and their tunnels of hands


[Skit]

*Drowning sounds*

*Pigs squealing*

[Outro: Gilles Deleuze, Conner Tomlinson]

Le rêve de ceux qui rêvent concerne ceux qui ne rêvent pas

Et pourquoi cela ça les concerne?

Parce que dès qu’il y a rêve de l’autre, il y a danger

A savoir que le rêve des gens est toujours un rêve dévorant qui risque de nous engloutir

Et que les autres rêvent, c’est très dangereux

Et que le rêve est une terrible volonté de puissance

Et que chacun de nous est plus ou moins victime du rêve des autres

Même quand c’est la plus gracieuse jeune fille

Même quand c’est la plus gracieuse jeune fille, c’est une terrible dévorante

Pas par son âme, mais par ses rêves

Méfiez-vous du rêve de l’autre, parce que si vous êtes pris dans le rêve de l’autre, vous êtes foutus

Ne soyez jamais pris dans le rêve de l'autre

In my dreams I’ve been still as amber
