Always There 04:28
In between the cracks and in the shadows lives an alternate world that you'll never know. You only get a glimpse, a fleeting moment - an after image, or a trace of a scent. They're always watching, they're always there. They're always listening, they're always there. They're always watching, they're always there. They're always listening, they're always there. They've got surveillance cameras and satellite images. Everything is recorded in the towns and villages. In between the cracks and in the shadows lives an alternate world that you'll never know. You only get a glimpse, a fleeting moment - an after image, or a trace of a scent. They're always watching, they're always there. They're always listening, they're always there. They're always watching, they're always there. They're always listening, they're always there.

In A Mood 03:36
I'm kinda in a mood, I don't mean to be rude. But I gotta get going before it starts pouring. Need to reach higher ground before I'm lost and never found. I'm kinda in a mood. I'm kinda in a mood. Don't want to get swept away by the raging water. But in the end it doesn't really matter. I'm kinda in a mood, I don't mean to be rude. But I gotta get going before it starts pouring. Need to reach higher ground before I'm lost and never found. I'm kinda in a mood. I'm kinda in a mood. I'm kinda in a mood, I don't mean to be rude. But I gotta get going before it starts pouring. Need to reach higher ground before I'm lost and never found. I'm kinda in a mood. I'm kinda in a mood.

Lemmings 02:56
They all seem to be misinformed. They are rushing into the storm. Don't know what they're jumping into. Can't tell the lies from what is true. They're unaware it's all a grift. They are lemmings going over a cliff. Where they go one they go all. They are in for quite a fall. In a coal mine and they're the canaries. They believe the conspiracy theories. They're unaware it's all a grift. They are lemmings going over a cliff. They follow a leader who is hideous. They are a pack of q-anon idiots. They all seem to be misinformed. They are rushing into the storm. Don't know what they're jumping into. Can't tell the lies from what is true. They're unaware it's all a grift. They are lemmings going over a cliff. They're unaware it's all a grift. They are lemmings going over a cliff.

It looks like it's gonna rain again. All our plans coming to an end. The flooding will get worse my friend - washed out roads and washed up men. It looks like it's gonna rain again. It'll stop when mother nature says when. The temperature is rising too. Don't know if we'll pull through. We're past the point of no return. We're reaching the wet bulb temperature. It looks like it's gonna rain again. It'll stop when mother nature says when. The temperature is rising too. Don't know if we'll pull through. It looks like it's gonna rain again. All our plans coming to an end. It looks like it's gonna rain again. All our plans coming to an end.

Millions of people going through my brain. Millions of people - it's driving me insane. I can only imagine how they died in such pain. Some listened to propaganda on the radio. They watched liars on TV and internet videos. Now they're all dead and there'll be more tomorrow. Maybe it's nature's way of culling the herd. It may sound crazy, but it's not absurd. Our species is an existential threat to the rest of the life on this planet. Millions of people going through my brain. Millions of people - it's driving me insane. I can only imagine how they died in such pain.

I've had enough, ready to quit. I am sick and tired of it. Had it up to here, had it up to there. I really just don't care. I am sick and tired of all the crap. I am so fed up, I'm ready to snap. I'm just hanging on by a thread. I'm sick and tired, I'm almost dead. I've had enough, ready to quit. I am sick and tired of it. Had it up to here, had it up to there. I really just don't care. I am sick and tired of all the crap. I am so fed up, I'm ready to snap. Sick and tired, sick and tired, I am sick and tired of it.

You mistook a smile for a wince of pain. It's getting cloudy, looks like rain. Glad to see you, don't mind me. Just dealing with my issues, can't you see? I gotta go down some rabbit hole. Not sure when I'll be back, I'm kind of a troll. You mistook a smile for a wince of pain. It's getting cloudy, looks like rain. Maybe I need some medication. Maybe I need some therapy. I've ended up in a situation. I'm just looking for some clarity. You mistook a smile for a wince of pain. It's getting cloudy, looks like rain. Glad to see you, don't mind me. Just dealing with my issues, can't you see? I gotta go down some rabbit hole. Not sure when I'll be back, I'm kind of a troll. You mistook a smile for a wince of pain. It's getting cloudy, looks like rain. You mistook a smile for a wince of pain. It's getting cloudy, looks like rain.

They're telling all the yahoos not to get the vaccine. Especially the crazy ones like Marjorie Taylor Greene. They say don't wear masks and don't quarantine. They get 'em all riled up and they act real mean. Some say they will get their own kind killed, all the traitors and haters. But then the fox lady had a look that said "You'll thank me later".

Freedom 03:38
Freedom, freedom, from living under a kingdom. See who I wanna see, be who I wanna be. Freedom, freedom. Their way or the highway. I choose the highway over their way. I don't wanna follow, their words ring hollow. Freedom, freedom. I don't want to sail on a ship of fools. I can't live under fascist rule. Freedom, freedom, from living under a kingdom. See who I wanna see, be who I wanna be. Freedom, freedom.

In The End 03:37
In the end we all lose. Don't have a say, don't get to choose. We're at the mercy of some idiots, who are thick and illiterate. Time to give up, and break out the booze. Once they're riled up, things are set in motion. There's no turning back, can't change their devotion. In the end we all lose. Don't have a say, don't get to choose. Once they're riled up, things are set in motion. There's no turning back, can't change their devotion. In the end we all lose. Don't have a say, don't get to choose. These "very fine" people are not very shrewd. They stink up the place and tend to be crude. In the end we all lose. Don't have a say, don't get to choose. We're at the mercy of some idiots, who are thick and illiterate. Time to give up, and break out the booze. In the end we all lose. Don't have a say, don't get to choose. In the end we all lose. Time to give up, and break out the booze.

Outta Here 01:46
I'm outta here, ain't coming back. Time to disappear, hittin' the road, jack. Had enough of the lies, time to say goodbye. I'm outta here and I ain't coming back. I'm driving through a thick fog, sometimes I wonder if I chose wrong. But I'm outta here, ain't coming back. Time to disappear, hittin' the road, jack. Had enough of the lies, time to say goodbye. I'm outta here and I ain't coming back. I'm outta here and I ain't coming back. I'm outta here and I ain't coming back.
