Abundance

Got plenty here
Got plenty left
Quit that complaining, save your candy coated breath
So insincere
So innocent
Never did nothin' save for poke the lion's den
You don't even know my name
A ghost - rattling my chains
A host - a parasite's domain
You don't
You don't
Know my name
Made nothing clear
Still out at sea
Tell me what's coming so I know to stay or flee
Got plenty here
No enemies
At least none living, they are all just dead to me

Valour

Backbone walking-stick, six cane swagger
Plumed serpent doing tricks, sky high braggard
From the lowest moneypit a brand new ladder
Climbing your way out of it, the better part of valour
Slackjawed lunatic, certified chatter
Passing for legitimate to those who think they matter
Plumed serpent doing tricks, sky high braggard
From the lowest moneypit a brand new ladder
Climbing your way out of it, the better part of valour

Worry

Used to dwell upon the future
Used to dwell upon the past
Neither one was real productive
So I got up off my ass
Let a moment be a moment
Live for here and live for now
I am pretty sure I'm dead tomorrow
Immortality ain't allowed anymore
Heard we used to live forever
Heard we used to never die
Something turned us into flesh and bone
And turned a blind eye
Can you blame the making hand for resting for an eon?
Just grateful not to catch a smoting
Just grateful not to be gone
Not to be gone

Satiety
02:06
|

|
Let's feast for no good reason
Get wasteful out of spite
The cups will overflow
The cups will overflow
The wars we start will end us
Well well before the poor
Have mind to overthrow
Have mind to overthrow
We're turning truth to treason
Can't have that come to light
Both monsters overgrown
Both monsters overgrown
The scores we settle send us
Through doors that lead to doors
The whole thing is overblown
The whole thing is overblown

Lunatic Suit
02:29
|

|
They left a false footprint to throw off the scent
Blasted pheromones wherever they went
They couldn't hear the humming but they knew what it meant
When it said hallelujah, gravity is heaven-sent
Ooh don't come any closer baby
Or we'll all fall outta sync
Future's already one big maybe
They got us on the brink

Truce

All weapons
Toward center
Peaceful chaos ensues
I reckon
This stalemate
Will have to pass for a truce

Benjamin Lee Farley Asheville, North Carolina
Never took a lesson in my life. All songs written, played, sung/sang/sing-ed, produced, computerized / all album covers made
by Ben unless otherwise noted.
NONE of my sounds are made with Artificial Intelligence, just a few album covers. Is anybody reading this? If so thank you. If not, then I guess I can say whatever I want because you'll never read it. So fuck you I guess? Just kidding madluv.
