lyrics

Storm the beach
Vacuum the sand
Devine the mixed intentions of the confidence man
Never sleep for days or weeks
Join the outflanked ranks
Of ever-vigilant paranoid freaks
Incinerate the spot where the forest floor creaks
Never speak for days or weeks
Tear apart your house to eliminate the squeaks
Respond to personal slights with nuclear fights
Conquer every corner with detritus from the heights
Walking down the mountain with the word

A technological fix for the problems we invent
Never knew you never know
What you don't know
What you meant
Energy invested on the energy spent
Shot out into the ether when you don't know where it went
A billion gleaming red cents

Hubristic heuristics

Storm the beach
Vacuum the sand
Devine the mixed intentions of the confidence man
Never sleep for days or weeks
Join the outflanked ranks
Of ever-vigilant paranoid freaks
Incinerate the spot where the forest floor creaks
Never speak for days or weeks
Tear apart your house your house to eliminate the squeaks

Walkin down the mountain with the word
