Troy Lawlor : Bipolar : Lyrics
1. rise robot rise
the robots will stick glow sticks in our skulls
and dance disco on them well into eternity
only when our skulls have been ground to dust
by robot feet shuffling to a stagnant beat
will we truly be free from our slavery
2. good mourning
good mourning my bittersweet love
you look kinda upset over there
lets go smash out some car windows
anything anything to be with you
in a cataclysmic car crash
in a bloody steely mash
in a diner choking fit
in an oil barrel lit
in some giant beast's left lung
in a life lost all too young
in my infantile stare
i will always love you
3. bipolar
on a ten-hour flight to tokyo
i'm bored but i'm self-satisfied
'cause this cocktail will never run low
and there's this stewardess i know
tried too hard to make it before we died
we wasted the best years of our lives
i can always stare at camilla
and drive my fast german car
through first-class english streets
my pistons in full bloom
tried too hard to make it before we died
we wasted the best years of our lives
4. emiru
you look like an angel
and i feel like a demon
for what i've done
this one's for you emiru
i never meant to do you wrong
to prove it i wrote this song
tonight i sleep soundly
i'm no longer haunted
by creaking ghosts
this one's for you emiru
i never meant to do you wrong
to prove it i wrote this song
5. jan. 18
(instrumental)
6. thoth's lullaby
awakening an ancient ai
lights flicker too low
shaking off the rusty coils
it's running a bit slow
awakening an ancient ai
dry wheels squeak to turn
switches flip and shudder
with a noble melody
circumstance is cyclical
it's all the same in the end
7. shells
the best years of our lives spit out our bones
for all these years submitted to wills unknown
we don't have a purpose but we've got a weapon
the world is faced with a slow disconnection
if i had a faster gun
i'd start a revolution
you should fear for your baby tonight
she'll be raised with no cause to fight
our most childish culture comes undone
the time is right for a new blood red sun
the kind that burns all the ones it serves
raging kids will get what they deserve
if i had a faster gun
i'd start a revolution
god forbid we fall apart at the seams
'cause individuals have the means
8. ogre swamp
there's a pond where i sleep
not an ogre not a peep
my back rests on evening dew
watch the sky turn a twilight hue
thoughts will dance around my head
while i'm sleeping on my lily bed
try as i might to change my view
my thoughts always return to you
could you fix me i've been broken
could you fix me i've been broken
for all these years for all these years
there's a pond where i sleep
not an ogre not a peep
i made the pond for a rest
running from my demon's nest
forest growth overtakes my home
i find you waiting all alone
we sailed forever on moonlit seas
on a ship made with family trees
could you fix me i've been broken
could you fix me i've been broken
for all these years for all these years
9. a plague of fairies
(instrumental)
10. metramolla
"beneath the earth it's hard to breathe
machines and morals choke us 'till we bleed"
"oh lord be quiet we're doing what we can
social engineers should only have to plan"
"doesn't matter how i feel
got to get to the next meal"
"so this is what it's like to be part of a social entity
it tears away at every part of me and i want to go home"
"i'm an animal in a paper bag
a lonesome beastie with nasty jet lag
there are no ponds just endless seas
i'm a hero with an ogre's disease"
"doesn't matter how i feel
got to get to the next meal"
"so this is what it's like to be part of a social entity
it tears away at every part of me and i want to go home"
11. amethyst
remember when we were young and innocent
and couldn't wait for school to finally end
so we could play with our town upstairs
and spend all day with our simian friends
i've missed you
but not too much
i've missed you
all too much
remember when we tried to build snowforts
but they'd always cave in on us
and our rather odd loss of the 80's
and how i never gave a goodbye
i've missed you
but not too much
i've missed you
all too much
12. my mountain
neo-tokyo oxygen station
i'm afraid to look
nature's all but dying
the world's a closing book
in a moment of pure light
a celestial dance of eternal night
when you're halfway up a mountain
the other side just falls away
