Youth is happy because
it has the capacity
to see beauty.
Anyone who keeps
the ability
to see beauty
never grows old.
Franz Kafka
MAU
Listless here in Utah
Statues of the Flying J
It’s stripping away
The very centre of me
Crucifix strewn taxis
That’s not your name
That can’t be your name
But it’s OK...
I’m Waiting for a saviour
Waiting for, a way out
From This... From Me...
But it’s OK...
Silent still here in Salt Lake
101 heat stripping away
Disintegrating us
This day...
Whatever u say
ruins our helpless selves
This car... That song...
Your name.
Listless here in Utah
Statues of the Flying J
It’s stripping away
The very centre of me
Crucifix strewn taxis
That’s not your name
That can’t be your name
But it’s OK...
And I’m Waiting for a saviour
Waiting for a way out
From This... From Me...
But it’s OK...
I’m Waiting for a saviour
I’m Waiting for a saviour
Listless here in Utah
I don’t mean to be mean
But you need to leave here…

I write differently from what I speak,
I speak differently from what I think,
I think differently
from the way I ought to think
Better to have, and not need,
than to need, and not have.
I said it’s better to have, and not need,
than to need
I’m free, that’s why I’m lost
I cannot make you understand,
I can’t make anyone understand
what’s inside of me.
No, not even to myself.
Don’t bend, don’t water it down;
don’t try to make it logical,
Don’t change yourself according to the crowd
I’m free, that’s why I’m lost
Vulcan Street
walking a wet street by the river
black wooden box in my hand
on my back is a solid state speaker
hey brothers- I'm your man
on the floor is a hole you can see through
theres a derelict car you can sit in
theres a half man behind the counter
he's telling me he is lake bala
dont forget when you were young
dont forget when you were young
If you close your eyes
and pray real hard
You find you go back to the start
dont forget when you were young
go play in a cornfield
peter meets a man called will
next to us we can hear an echo
three months in and they can pay their bill
dont forget when you were young
dont forget when you were young
If you close your eyes
and pray real hard
You find you go back to the start
dont forget when you were young
paul worked on the trawlers
but he ever saw a boat
he passed away on a monday
i dont think anyone heard a note
and andy hit the pigskins
his brother was rocky 4
he sold his rights for buttons
no wilder, he cant cope, any more
dont forget when you were young
dont forget when you were young
If you close your eyes
and pray real hard
You find you go back to the start
dont forget when you were young
Close your eyes and you’ll be there

I’m where you must feel very strange
Here where you imitate the shade
Here where you’ve murdered your twelve
I’m where you laugh at this humor
Where your condition is serious
With the worms of the senses
Where you pun on the bodies
Where you scream in a straightjacket
I’m with you in Rockland
Where you bang on the piano
I’m with you in Rockland
Where there’s fifty more shocks
I’m where you accuse your doctors
I’m where you will split the heavens
Where there are the mad comrades
Here where we hug and kiss
I’m where we wake up electrified
In my dreams you walk dripping
Where you’re madder than I am
I’m where you imitate the shade
I’m with you in Rockland
where you will split the heavens
I’m with you in Rockland
Where you pun on the bodies
Where your condition is serious
With the worms of the senses
Where you pun on the bodies
Where you scream in a straightjacket
I’m with you in Rockland
Where you bang on the piano
I’m with you in Rockland
Where there’s fifty more shocks
What’s Your Number
You might be 8
it might be 6
it might be 9
it might be 3
You got the combination lock
And I just need 2 find the key
You might be 4
it might be 1
it might be 9
it might be 2
I got a dialling tone
but no such number
is a getting through
What’s Your Number?
You might be 4
Me be the 1
Sat on cloud 9
You’ll be there 2
I can’t believe it’s not the truth
That I’ll be getting through 2 you
Back to square 1
I toler 8
Catch 22
I’m back in 5
Your sticking time to save you 9
You know, I know a Trick or 2
What’s Your Number?

I needed to get out,
to leave my life behind me
And no one would it,
so I knew I had to steal it
I thought, I’ll fly away...
I planned it, and schemed it,
and worked on every detail
They wouldn’t believe it,
a crazy man must be it
I thought, I’ll fly away...
You think that you know who I am,
I’m hidden in plain sight
(Ready, Set, Jump)
Did I really disappear
or take another flight
(Ready, Set, Jump)
I’ll open up the doors below
and jump into the night
(Ready, Set, Jump)
I’m here to take a leap of faith
and step into the light
(Ready, Set...)
SkyJacker
I took off from Portland,
with bourbon at my side
I handed my demands
to Florence in the aisle
I thought, I’ll fly away...
We landed Seattle,
got diesel and my dollars
then took off for southbound,
my plan was nearly there
and I thought, I’ll fly away...
You think that you know who I am,
I’m hidden in plain sight
(Ready, Set, Jump)
Did I really disappear
or take another flight
(Ready, Set, Jump)
I’ll open up the doors below
and jump into the night
(Ready, Set, Jump)
I’m here to take a leap of faith
and step into the light

Head | Space
A brief rattle of hail
and then the Sunshine again
A brief stab of pain
and that’s it, she said to me
And the worse thing is
I know I’m drowning on dry land
Stumbling into your quicksand
With no plan, or no countdown
There’s gotta be a place
where I can be free,
free to be me
Gotta get away,
get me out of this place
any old space,
gotta get outta my head
A sharp intake of breath
and then the waves roll again
A mute scream in vain
and that’s all she said to me
And the world shuts down
I know I’m losing my own mind
Falling into your control
With no plan and no countdown
There’s gotta be a place
where I can be free,
free to be me
Gotta get away,
get me out of this place
any old space,
gotta get outta my head
Getting out of my head
Free me out of this dread
Get me out of this place
Take me off into space...
LottsaPoppa
Good vibes, living my best life
Street Wise, getting my deals done
Youth quake, Venice to Sunset
White lines, selling cold comfort
Sweet times, looking for big scores
Real green, dollar days are near
Wake up, here comes the Family
Freak show, buying by the kilo
I got a feeling
that there’s gotta be a reason
that you’re getting up and leaving
The minute I say... Lotsapoppa
I got a feeling
that there’s gonna be some clashes
with the races and the classes
Or my name isn’t... Lotsapoppa
Blind side, Luella’s so sweet
Gone bad, get my ass to Spahn
Gunned down, sitting in Franklin
Bluntline, never want to see again
I got a feeling
that there’s gotta be a reason
that you’re getting up and leaving
The minute I say... Lotsapoppa
I got a feeling
that there’s gonna be some clashes
with the races and the classes
Or my name isn’t... Lotsapoppa
Flatline
I hear you’ve been around my place today
I guess that means
that you got something to say
So make it quick, be concise, make it fast
You got the looks... but they wont last.
I see you walking around my streets this way
I take a left, to make my escape
You take a right and then you double back
That’s when I know that you are planning
your attack
You keep doing, What your doing
Your gonna get, What your getting
You keep doing, What your doing
Your gonna get, What you get… Flatline
You pressed the buzzer in my work today
I’m nine years old until you went way
CCTV says you went round the back
That’s when I knew that you
were starting your attack
You keep doing, What your doing
Your gonna get, What your getting
You keep doing, What your doing
Your gonna get, What you get… Flatline
You got the looks…but they wont last.
We had the looks…but they don’t last.
They had the looks…but they can’t last.
You got the looks…but they wont last.
Binary Life
Everybody’s looking for something
Everyone is missing a piece
This is why words matter
This is why truth matters
This is when you wake up and feel
Don't hate those who are diff’rent
Don't be impressed by the loudest voices
Stressing over power
Stressing bout your likes
Tapping through each others lives
It's a kind of living

Life has no remote
So get up off your ass
and change it yourself
This is why love matters
This is why touch matters
This is when you get face to face
It’s not the destination
It’s the journey
that you take that counts
This is what life looks like
Take the time to feel it
Love the life that surrounds you
It's a kind of living

Ain’t no big thing, to wait for the app to ping
Ain’t no big thing, to wait for the app to ping
Here Comes the BlackLight
The tribal rites
Of a Saturday night
Chemical smiles
And the kiss of the knife
A sudden insight
Here comes the black light
Here comes the black light
Dead eyed prophets
Whisper black words
Their Brutal truths
Only half heard
they’re only part right
Here comes the black light
Between the light and the dark
Here comes the black light
You’re going to walk away
From this
You’re going to walk away
From this
I've forgotten
how to sleep again
I've remembered
How to scream again
its time to take flight
Here comes the black light
Between the light and the dark
Here comes the black light
Between the light and the dark
You’re going to walk away
From this
Between the light and the dark
You’re going to walk away
From this
The Sound
of Year Zero
The question isn't
who is going to let me;
it's who is going
to stop me.
― Ayn Rand
