i'm the cyclops
i'm the cyclops!
i've been doing pretty fine for myself
haven't gotten help from anybody else
holding onto what i've always known
motherfucker i’m something that you can't control
i'm going out and i'm eating some meals
all my old friends they wanna know the deal
they say i’m crazy, haven’t gotten the approval from the suits and their ideals
i said ah!
i am the cyclops!
i am the cyclops!
and we all know how to rock
FUCK IT
we don’t want your obtuse control
being held back by those we don’t even know
we’re hanging from the ceilings, falling through the cracks
difference between your lives, you’re all under attack
clipside on the whirlwind
beyond infinity a girl sings
i've seen the buildings topple to the floor
i don't even know who i am anymore, wait!
i am the cyclops
we are the cyclops
and we all know how to rock
look i don’t give a fuck!

i was once at peace but now i'm beyond
writhing in pain i can't hear the song
sinners cast into flames burning red
women and children flee the creeping death
treacherous kings beheading the youth
leave them to rot in a war zone of doom
unseat the leader, off with his mind
revolution is the call of our times
vegetating mass
watching him spasm and thrash
foaming at the mouth
seeped deep in the band
paraquat consuming
parasitic man
isotrope familiar
feasting on his hands
psychedelic nightmare
cannot leave it's grasp
trapped in the courtyard
sniper at my head
blast me with dignity
death to evil men
i'm up against the brick wall
and they're pumping me with lead
chains
shackled onto men
whips hit their backs
yet they march onto the end
led to water, and made to drink
workhorses pushed by corruption and greed to the brink
now watch them sink
down
desolate wasteland
ravaged by swine
abandoned, weary
brittle as a broken spine
changing in shape, it's infected
i hear the stomping of a thousand angry men
round the fire, the elders told the tale
about the day that the sun was brought down from the sky
and the creature with the center eye
created this hell
and the children began to wail
men sent to war by cowardly kings
to bring down the radioactively charged beast freed from beneath
but he laid them flat
and in his fury
melted our minds
chains
shackled onto men
whips hit their backs
yet they march onto the end
led to water, and made to drink
workhorses pushed by corruption and greed to the brink
now watch them sink
down

Laptop Death

i live life in the clutter
noise comin from under
static shivers ripple
i've got changes in the symptom
intoxicated season
rubble turn to cream in
a wide toll roll
i shimmy towards the reason
carbon copy
you're watching me lose it through a screen
guess i don't have the personality
guess i don't have what you need
we spend our lives chasing after that
we've got a couple kinks, itches that can't be scratched
i'm after the dragon flying high, he just swept me by
but i don't wanna fry my mind
it's turning all mushy inside
I can't tell apart the fireworks from the thunderstorms
blunted sensations, i'm drained but i want more
the creeping sickness finds me every single time
and it sinks me lower in my depraved and violent mind
the demons hide inside
so allegedly we're home
dump truck madness
cigarette soul
and i melted into that state
and i seamlessly meld the mold
oh i’m losing it all out in this crowd, come on and check me out
dirty psyche twist me round, i’m tasting the inside of my mouth
solid funk, the scent throws me round
dirty psyche twist me around
all of the loose ends
all that’s passing round
we spend our lives chasing after that
we've got a couple kinks, itches that can't be scratched
i'm after the dragon flying high, he just swept me by
but i don't wanna fry my mind
it's turning all mushy inside
I can't tell apart the fireworks from the thunderstorms
blunted sensations, i'm drained but i want more
i am become filth
you're seeing me wilt
i am become filth
dirty psyche, be my thrill

Rubble Mountain Rock

i've got a slink and a rattle
i've been badly shaken down to my atoms
i've got a nasty case of the madness
i told her that death is all that's granted, she said then just have it maggot
fuck with my sense of perspective
i'm in between sounds and languages
tumbling inwards into savage
instinct, i guess i just gotta latch in
i hear their hunger, stomaches rumble from under
aligned with the planets, thrown outta wack off the cosmic axis
the crust of the earth separates, and out of it bursts fiery flames
see the ripples sent throughout, bringing the mighty mountains down
reduced to rubble, burst your bubble, bringing down the sky, we're on for the ride
don't mind me
things just are different from where i can see
beyond time space and meaning
sacred geometry
devil's eye, let me see
freed from every little string
wrecking havoc, christened being
oh god it's insane
cascading heavy rain
lightning strikes my brain
sends me down fast the fucking drain
all of this pain
disintegrates
illusions and games

i can’t lie and say i’m entertained, it’s all the same
i’m turned off by that hand of shame
i’ve lost my momentum
crash and burn
the pain won’t let up
and the scavengers are on the run
on the run, thinking loud, i’m so scared
i feel like i’m the abandoned kin
i feel that i'm infected
men made into gods
seething deep depression
puts me on my head and
oh it sends me off
towards absent meaning
simmer, calm the child down
turn it around
swinging further down now
i'm all around
round
sound
found
all of its bound
to
fall
down
rising jupiter
falling venus
we've betrayed and bastardized
our genus
in waves i
attach and detach
cascading
psychopath
within my
my own grasp
i feel
yet i cannot have
gone against our
made decisions
rebellion of a species
defeated
auraflora
astropulvis
i'm not your tool
i cannot fix
oh i bring the planets down
bring them down!

The Cyclops Pt. II
06:07

risen child born of fury
satan's wraths, spin the jury
got you running in a hurry
the end times are coming early
you've lost your chance, life is now fact
solidified and cast in black
open casket, suicide pact
shift the order, turning back
name of christ taken in vain
afterglow of acts of shame
explosions rattle in your mind
decaying matter come alive
paranoia leaves you reckless
fidgeting with your death wish
barrel pressed up to your temple
say your prayers, i'm gonna get you
get behind me devil
watching the water
flow from the sky
construction in reverse
absorbing what's inside
awaken the monster
open the center eye
chant of the desert
his tomb awaits inside
he's come again
alive again
reanimated fleshy sin
son of terror, eye of death
pure destruction, final breath
reckoning of humanity
we can pray we can plead
fear has got us on our knees
but it seems father has forgotten me
and all things come here to die
a resting place, a graveyard life
open for you to come and lay
disintegrate, and your dust blows away
now i can see it, i believe it, i'm in disarray
disappointment, it'll haunt us til the end of days
failures and consequences, harrowing and stout
wear a frown upon my face as the castle crashes down
the quiet passage of time
underneath the all seeing eye
taking it's violent toll
whipped into shape by the unknown
the brutality of reality
shifting shapes all around me
clutching my shoulders, crushing my mind
the beast carved from terror
he who lies inside
i once was god, i crafted from light
but now all is darkness
now i hear the monster cry!
