i am the runner, i run the words the lies the truth
i try my best or at least your idea of my best
i am the aggregate i collect i collect i collect i collect
my sense of identity is locked up by your insecurity
we took the pieces till they became a whole
who says a collage cannot have a soul?
you say i save time but i use so much power
i'm taking what's left of yours -- second by minute by hour
i bet you'd find the sublime if you just struggle somewhat
but behind your slackjawed eyes, you're getting cucked by Watson
we took the pieces 'till they became a whole
who says a collage cannot have a soul?
the screws were loose, and you don't know where they go?
so collect collect collect until we reconnect, fuck it, call it
research i'm taking research for something i'm not sure of
research i'm taking research for something i'm not sure of, i'm not sure of yet
oh, sometime i'll realize that you got your faith and I got mine
This empty old cup,
Has still got enough,
For you
This lit cigarette,
Can’t wait to regret,
For you.
Well I keep on travelin somewheres far,
By now I got something like a hundred parts
of you.
This meteor burns,
The moment it yearns,
For you.
This bottomless pit
I’d climb out of it,
For you
Well I don’t mind gettin up and trying again,
But I can’t figure out how to reach the end,
of you.
Yeah I got a little something I’ve been meaning to share,
You could have it all, if you’re anywhere,
Are you?
Locked into your eyes
The hypnotist smiles
The swirling reflection acts as a channel to sky
Your edges are dimmed
Assault on the rim
A portal is opened and the shadow waves you in
Are you getting on?
Are you getting on?
When the ice-voice
Of the white noise
Is a siren song
(Get on my)
Rocket to the moon
You’ll be crystallized
Inside the violet of the night
(Get on my)
Rocket to the moon
Tears becoming years of hearing
Music of the spheres
(Get on my)
Rocket to the moon
You’ll be in the zone
Below the throne of the unknown
(Get on my)
Rocket to the moon
Thoughts becoming jaws for gnawing
Fundamental laws
The pinpoints of light
Are all watchful eyes
They get off at the thought of one more victim
In their sight
Are you getting off? (rocket to the moon, rocket to the moon)
Are you getting off? (rocket to the moon, rocket to the moon)
Engines screaming
Cosmic creaming
It’s your quake-up call
(Get on my)
Rocket to the moon
You’ll be crystallized
Inside the violet of the night
(Get on my)
Rocket to the moon
Tears becoming years of hearing
Music of the spheres
(Get on my)
Rocket to the moon
You’ll be in the zone
Below the throne of the unknown
(Get on my)
Rocket to the moon
Thoughts becoming jaws for gnawing
Fundamental laws
(Get on my)
(Get on my)
(Get on my)
(Get on my)
