I think I'm probably going to be just fine.
I think I'm probably going to sleep alright tonight.
Everything is going to be just fine.
Everybody's going to sleep alright tonight.
When its over there'll be no one to remember you
Dont act surprised the world already came unglued.
Hope was always gonna make you everybody's fool
I think I'm probably going to sleep alright tonight
This mess
Is meeting an elaborate end
These hands
Are holding on to what they can
This hope
Is clinging to a fraying rope
These strands
Are not enough to keep you standing
When its over there'll be no one to remember me
Make believing there's a purpose gets me what i need
Hyperconscious theres no comfort left for me to speak
I think Im probably going to sleep alright tonight
This mess
Is meeting an elaborate end
These hands
Are holding on to what they can
This hope
Is clinging to a fraying rope
These strands
Are not enough to keep you standing
All you can do is control yourself
Obsession never really kept you moving
The simple answer's served you well
We're all still standing
Everything is going to be just fine.
Everybody's going to sleep alright tonight.
This mess
Is meeting an elaborate end
These hands
Are holding on to what they can
This hope
Is clinging to a fraying rope
These strands
Are not enough to keep you standing

You’re scared to shed this mortal coil
(Start, then end, then start again)
You spite your soul until it spoils
(Start, then end, then start again)
turn your gaze up from the soil
Aren’t you tired of feeling alone?
Become the more you were meant for
Open your eyes
I’ve been there too
Lonesome sleepless nights
That empty room
Lonely quiet life
In Comet’s Tail all life began
And through the universe it spread
But now it’s coming back again
To wake the dead
And every separate flame will burn
As one instead
In Comet’s Tail this life will end
There’s so much heartbreak in your doubt
The mark of death is on your brow
Who’d want you now?
But when the Comet comes around,
We’ll soon find out
Which side you’re on
Aren’t you tired of feeling alone?
Become the more you were meant for
Lift your head to the sky
Open your eyes
I’ve been there too
Lonesome sleepless nights
That empty room
Lonely quiet life
Stand in wonder
Burnt by cosmic love
Stand in wonder,
Luminescent
I’ve been there too
Lonesome sleepless nights
That empty room
Lonely quiet life
Stand in wonder
Burnt by cosmic love
Stand in wonder,
Luminescent

Hair of the Dog
03:08

Said I got what you need, honey
A little hair of the dog
You got a bomb in your teeth,
It’s shaking down to your feet,
I want to set it off
You said
The sight my face
Burns you up till you’re left with nothing
Sunset
You can’t look away
And the weight of your blame is crushing
I don’t mind
That everything changed
When you learned that this life was ending
It’s alright
Long as one thing’s the same
It’s the way that we cope
And now there’s
No fitting end but surrender
Not with a bang, but with a bender
Said I got what you need, honey
A little hair of the dog
You got a bomb in your teeth,
It’s shaking down to your feet,
I want to set it off
You said “I think you should leave, honey”
Like we’re not already gone
Might as well just keep drinking and playing along
We’re heading straight for the sun
I don’t think
There was ever a time
That we weren’t headed for hot water
Final fates
Aren’t ours to decide
Just the way that we cope
Is that the answer you were looking for?
That’s not enough for me anymore
No fitting end but disaster
There’ll be no joy left for the rapture
Said I got what you need, honey
A little hair of the dog
You got a bomb in your teeth,
It’s shaking down to your feet,
I want to set it off
You said “I think you should leave, honey”
Like we’re not already gone
Might as well just keep drinking and playing along
We’re heading straight for the sun
One more to drown your misery
Stop counting days just add degrees
One more to drown my misery
Stop counting days just add degrees
I’ll give you anything but sympathy
Said I got what you need, honey
A little hair of the dog
You got a bomb in your teeth,
It’s shaking down to your feet,
I want to set it off
You said “I think you should leave, honey”
Like we’re not already gone
Might as well just keep drinking and playing along
We’re heading straight for the sun

The Bomb
04:51
|

Everybody has to die, but no one dies alone
Put my faith in humankind for all it got me
Snow was falling on the ground last I saw of my family
Same as the day that I was born, my mother told me
As a child I used to bleed when I fell down
Only cried when there was no one else around
Not a tear was shed before the mushroom cloud
I’ll never be alone again
“Once you reach a certain age,
You see everything change but nothing change at all
Still skipping round that stage
Does anything change? No, nothing at all
You’ve reached the final phase
You’ve seen everything change but nothing’s changed at all”
Don’t tell me nothing’s changed at all
Tell me nothing’s wrong
When the sun goes down
Tell me nothing is wrong
In the fearful dark as you shake apart the ground
Tell me I’m fine
Tell me the end of life is so much different from the ending of time
Tell me what you want me to do
Cause everybody’s following you
Every person that I’ve ever loved
And all my stuff
Is gone
Every bleeding heart that could not give up
Swore that love’s enough
Was wrong
Every time I’ve ever felt alone
Every broken bone
Is healed
Doesn’t matter how it felt back then
I know
I’ll never be alone again
“Once you’ve made your last mistake
You’ll see if everything’s fate or nothing’s fate at all”
Don’t tell me nothing’s fate at all
Tell me nothing’s wrong
When the sun goes down
Tell me nothing is wrong
In the fearful dark as you shake apart the ground
Tell me I’m fine
Tell me the end of life is so much different from the ending of time
Tell me what you want me to do
Earth was shattered into shards
And scattered to the stars
All the things you loved are dust in rings of other planets
Dreamt I heard the voice of God
Through sirens going off
Asked me what it takes to make a person truly panic
Tell me nothing’s wrong
When the sun goes down
Tell me nothing is wrong
In the fearful dark as you shake apart the ground
Tell me I’m fine
Tell me the end of life is so much different from the ending of time
Tell me what you want me to do
Cause everybody’s following you

Black Hole Benny
05:11
|
|||
|
The earth will tremble hard as he approaches
The ground will shake at the sound of clicking claws
The universe is wider than we know it
He holds our planet in his mighty paws
He was found
With wreckage all around
“Black Hole Benny” on the name plate at his side
He was tame
Until the mission came
To judge the human race in the name of Felix-5
Don’t quite understand it
What they’d even want with our planet
The Infiltration has begun
The earth will tremble hard as he approaches
The ground will shake at the sound of clicking claws
The universe is wider than we know it
He holds our planet in his mighty paws
It’s innate
The way he lies in wait
To teach us all the meaning of despair
Such strength of will
To lie so very still
And if you close your eyes it’s like he disappeared
Claws curl and uncurl
As he’s dreaming of other worlds
All will fall when the job is done
The earth will tremble hard as he approaches
The end of days is here, so soft and gray
The universe is wider than we know it
And our destroyer sleeps 18 hours a day
His head is soft
He’s planning havoc in the closet
His paws are on the cosmic off switch
It’s too late
And once he starts
There is no one on earth to stop him
He yawns, we live to fight another day
Claws curl and uncurl
As he’s dreaming of other worlds
All will fall when the job is done
The earth will tremble hard as he approaches
The ground will shake at the sound of clicking claws
The universe is wider than we know it
He holds our planet in his mighty paws
When it’s clear
That the end is near
We will watch his tiny saucer fly away
For a time,
Content to sleep and dine,
He yawns, we live to fight another-

Dead Weight
04:10
|

|
Can’t sleep, light stays on
Tired and worn
Dead weight makes me calm
Hide from the storm
Storm is under your skin
Storm is under your skin
Storm is under your skin
Rain only falls around you
Blame the sad state you’re in
Pay the price for your sins
When it’s under your skin
You put up walls around it
I wasn’t born a liar, no
It’s a taste that I acquired all on my own
Can’t sleep, darkness drowns
Ceiling to floor
Dead weight holds me down
No calm before
Storm is under your skin
Storm is under your skin
Storm is under your skin
Rain only falls around you
Blame the sad state you’re in
Pay the price for your sins
When it’s under your skin
You put up walls around it
I wasn’t born a liar, no
It’s a taste that I acquired all on my own
Your skin’s a crumbling shelter
Bones show
I don’t feel much like someone else or myself anymore
See the clouds disperse
Still your skin is crawling
Feel the roles reverse
Actions well-rehearsed
The way you’ve always done it, but it
Doesn’t feel the same
Did you really change?
Before you know, it’s all under your skin again
I wasn’t born a liar, no
It’s a taste that I acquired all on my own
Your skin’s a crumbling shelter
Bones show
I don’t feel much like someone else or myself anymore

There’s no horizon left in front of you
(Last light leaving, see the shadows stop retreating)
If you close your eyes you’ll see the future too, perfect view
(Last light leaving, see the shadows stop retreating)
There’s sleep in our eyes
When the order came down
Humanity hangs in the balance,
Stop the sun burning out
Now there’s no time to think
(Now there’s no time to think)
Only bullets and bombs
(Only bullets and bombs)
Hold the line as the last light is leaving,
It’s bleak, but we fight for the dawn
(We fight for the dawn till it’s broken
Everything’s broken)
There’s no horizon left in front of you
(Last light leaving, see the shadows stop retreating)
If you close your eyes you’ll see the future too, perfect view
(Last light leaving, see the shadows stop retreating)
Your every step is as light as the air
If it’s the last thing I see, I’ll remember
The sunlight drips off the leaves in your hair
Because dark days are waiting for us
Do you recall when our biggest fear
Was the rain cloud forming in the distance
As you walk towards me it all disappears
Into shadows
Dark days are waiting for us
Dark days are waiting for us
The next 8 minutes passed like a million years,
Then I blinked and it was over
This is still the best day of my life
This is still the best day of my life
All the light I need is you as my wife
On dark days
There’s no horizon left in front of you
(Last light leaving, see the shadows stop retreating)
If you close your eyes you’ll see the future too, perfect view
(Last light leaving, see the shadows stop retreating)
There’s no horizon left in front of you
(Last light leaving, see the shadows stop retreating)
If you close your eyes you’ll see the future too, perfect view
(Last light leaving, see the shadows stop retreating)

Compulsion
05:20
|
|||
|
First the word and then the storm
Then water rose like rats up through the floor
Built ships for my intrusive thoughts
We used to speak but we dont anymore
(I listen, but don’t hear a whisper)
Still no sound
Only the sky falling down
Silence scares me to death, but it’s so quiet now
Still cast out
Compulsion gave way to doubt
Silence scares me to death, it’s all we talk about
Doubt creeps in and doubt creeps out
I can’t help it
I can’t help it
Floating over empty towns
Gave them meaning
Slowed their breathing
Fill your lungs with it
Guess I should be angry now
I don’t think I
Have it in me
Truth is I’m still scared to drown
Scared to listen
Sit and listen
(i don’t hear a whisper)
Still no sound
Only the sky falling down
Silence scares me to death, but it’s so quiet now
Still cast out
Compulsion gave way to doubt
Silence scares me to death, it’s all we talk about
Said I’d do well to do what you tell me
I guess I should be angry now
Gave away my final days
I guess I should be angry now
No remorse, no evil force
No pale horse, no red cow
Only me stuck in between
I guess I should be angry
Still no sound
Only the sky falling down
Silence scares me to death, but it’s so quiet now
Still cast out
Compulsion gave way to doubt
Silence scares me to death, it’s all we talk about

The End
02:11

I swore I heard your voice today
I called but no one answered
I was alone, I was afraid to go outside
Must be no one left who cares I’m alive
Hope you think about me all the time
If you're anywhere left out there
But if you’re gone, I’ll probably sleep alright
It’s not as if it’s the end of the world, oh no
It’s all on me, control myself
Wish I deserved an answer
Obsession never really helps
Just leaves you empty as a shell
Too hollow to heal anyone else
Hope you think about me all the time
If you're anywhere left out there
But if you’re gone, I’ll probably sleep alright
It’s not as if it’s the end of the world, oh no
I think I’m probably going to be just fine
I think I’m probably going to sleep alright tonight

I can't remember a band/duo/artist that I couldn't get out of my head in so little time. The hypnotic claws of musicality are no match for my jaded misanthropy. There may be hope for the humans after all by way of newer, more in tune and talented alien ambassadors.
