lyrics

[Sample]

No one.

We are all just complicated arrangements of atoms into subatomic particles, we don't live. But our atoms do move about in such a way to as give us identity and consciousness. We don't die, our atoms just rearrange themselves.

There is no God -- there can be no God.
It's ridiculous to think in terms of a superior being.
An inferior being -- maybe... because we,
We who don't even exist,
We arrange our lives with more order and harmony than God ever arranged the Earth.

There is no measure. But, we create one through music.
We are the architects of our own existance.

[Soul-Fizzle]

Born and raised in the earth
Older than the church
As real as we come
Wisdumb in the trunk
Watching us get drunk
Supportin, supplyin the smoked out lungs
Loyal and selfless, spoil the friendship
Embroil the nature, cuttin chip and timber
Stores revel in anger
The greed machine
Sweepin up all the greenery
For profit and concrete scenery
Just stop it, apologize, hug the tree
Enough forest fires, doin damage
Let's find a way to help the balance
We're tipping towards an unhealthy status
We could learn a few things or we could burn a few things
But we're just burnin the candle at both ends

Both ends (x3)

But we're just burnin the candle at both ends

Burning (I'm burnin)
Not learning (not learnin)
Deservin what we get (what we get)

Are you hurting? (are you hurting?)
Is it working (Is it working?)
Are you learning anything yet? (have you learned anything?)

[Prome]

It gets to me, I've never really known a single word of wisdom but let it be/
I'm still speakin to stay grounded and find some pitch like tents be/
Livin rent free, still livin like life's meant to be/
But fundamentally, well you know what, never mind i'll be fine, please come empty me/
Legibly, logically, shit all these things that i've got to be/
Got me way too focussed only knowin what symbolic be/
Consider that i'm an optic beast about to blow an octave see/
It's stoppin me from just straight up pushin past philosophy/
And fuckery, cuz i understand theyre similar only subtly/
But i'll be the one to notice when it's all been said and done to me/
So put a gun to me, and tell me what i'm older what im gnna be/
Cuz frankly both sides of most candles could combust with ease/
So wssup with these, tendencies to fight what's probly meant to be/
Cuz i dont wanna look back and just have flannel-fitted memories/
But i guess i'm still pretending that i'm better than what i better be/
But i'm ventin, blowin smoke out of air-ducts, you get my breeze?/

There's only so much of a person you can burn through/
There's only so many people that I can turn to/
And through these words i'm learnin to just get what I deserve/
And yet just accept that the rest is just/

[Soul-Fizzle]

Burning (I'm burnin)
Not learning (not learnin)
Deservin what we get (what we get)

Are you hurting? (are you hurting?)
Is it working (Is it working?)
Are you learning anything yet? (have you learned anything?)

[T.O.M.C.]

String theory, tie myself in knots don’t mean a thing to me/
Cling to these vices that’s what life is, gotta disagree/
We’re priceless, infinity distilled and dumbed down/
Confined to confound like love binds the unbound/
Plastered smiles that come frown at people with tattoos/
Smoking cigarettes, back turners standing still as statues/
On the back burner i’ve been meaning to ask you/
Are my heart murmurs easy to dance to?/
I can’t do this, I’m stupid, on some primordial soup shit/
A fog moving faster than traffic that we commute with/
The truth is i’m music, regressed back to the numbers/
Ad infinitum, im killing them, what kinda rapper don’t/ suffer
Im that girl with the bright eyes, who knew that you loved her/
I’m every fucking thing you wish you said to her that summer/
I am you, I can’t to something pointless ask you to learn to love/
But I can strike a match grab this verse and burn it up/

There's only so much of a person you can burn through/
There's only so many people that I can turn to/
And through these words i'm learnin to just get what i deserve/
And yet just accept that the rest is just/

[Soul-Fizzle]

Burning (I'm burnin)
Not learning (not learnin)
Deservin what we get (what we get)

Are you hurting? (are you hurting?)
Is it working (Is it working?)
Are you learning anything yet? (have you learned anything?)
