Things I know
It’s abnormal
To know things I know
Feeling corrupted
Because I hate this body
Things I know
Four down, give me five
Hit the liquor store
I’m in her dress
And Miss America makeup
Commie Vibes
Pistol whipping
All the time, wow!
What’s the American way?
Want to teach you all a lesson
When am I gonna learn?
She’s unknown
She’s intellectual
Claims that it’s her idea’s
Made it float
No interruptions
I was just concentrating
See it go
4 down, gimme five
Everybody thinks I’m high
Drown in this American age
Bitchslap
Call it fun
Either way, your gettin’ fucked up
Now, it’s the American way
Wanna teach us all a lesson
But, when will YOU ever learn?
Won’t take but a minute before this one’s over
I doubt you’ll be ‘round You’d go, “what the hell was that shit”?!
Sometimes I make ‘em cause I’m in an attack mode
It’s a gentle confrontation
Lately, lately
Some people always try to forget
That we expect some compensation
Pay me, Pay me!

Lovephobic

You said it in a letter
To whomever
Am I’m supposed to know?
Don’t put her back together
Cause she’d rather
Not be anyone’s
Can’t come close
And don’t stay long
I micro- dose
You off and on
A mirror
Resetter
Second guesser
A professor
Of undying love
She’s says it’s all depending
On the leather
Your interior
She’s so far
From where you stopped
It’s just a drill
You knew, I thought
You knew
Mad like the world
This ain’t you’re scene
I’m going back to my house
Or someone’s gonna die, tonight
I Don’t feel bitter
Cause, you never say never
Anna Noel!
What’s got into you?
Remember in December
All the embers
We were walking on
There’s people who I’d love to shove their face into that ember glow
Love-phobic
Never touch the stuff too much
All out of fucks to give
Mad like the world
This ain’t you’re scene
I’m going back to my house
Or someone’s gonna die, I’m tonight
I Don’t feel bitter
Cause, you never say never
Anna Noel!
We could go church, now
Or we could just screw
If you never say never
Anna Noel
Whatever happened to you?
I remember
The way she runs
The more you learn
The less you know
I need the love
That comes from self
Automatic?
No it’s earned
All connections
Getting cut
Let me hover
Let me go
Friends and lovers
Dust to dust
Forever since
I’ve heard that word.
I will remember

I’m there, but I’m gone
I’m there, but I’m gone
I’m there, but I’m gone
In a way
I care , but I don’t
I care , but I don’t
I care , that you don’t
Have a say
My name is Captain
Nice to meet ya’
I’d Invite you in
But, I don’t need to
Guess I can do it by myself
Thanks for asking
Don’t need your help…No
You wanted it all
You wanted it all
And now you don’t
Need anything
I tell you I’m sorry
Tell you I’m sorry
When I never
Needed to be
My name is Captain
Nice to meet ya’
I’d Invite you in
But, I don’t need to
Guess I can do it by myself
Thanks for asking
Don’t need your help
It comes from
All directions now
I try to reverse
And just run over myself
Anna Noel
How can you help
If you don’t know
I could just push it away
How can you help
If you don’t know
How can you help?
And if you ever
Need a word with me
You can call
Cause, I’ll be awake

Neuromantic
03:58
|
|||
Such a phony
Always been my estimation
So were they before you
Plenty more to come after
But she matches
From her toes on
Up to her lashes
Slow as molasses
How she dances
On the bones of
All your relapses
Life it flashes
Mouth’s where the cash is
Then we spoke
Some mental gymnastics
Was pardon me,
Now it’s. Pardon you
Now, you can’t afford to
Waste time being a Neuromantic
Closer you are to the end
Is irrelevant
So quit your counting
She’s a fascist
From her toes on up to her lashes
Dubbed in Damascus
City Of Jasmine
Barely known
A suffragette has-been
Suffer your absence
All that I meant
Was for someone
Younger than I
Feel like these songs meant
something, a little bit
This operation can’t
Express the way that I feel
It’s almost alien
Middle section of “blow out”
See what I mean
I would come say hi
If you had a self to know
I’m not invited
I’m all excited
Driving myself home
And every time
I close my eyes
I know it’d ease your pain
Never mind me before
I drive us all insane

Real Tennant
04:19
|

Part late night television
B-Sides
Four. On the floor
Passé
Future-ism
Despite, everything I know
Do you even know my name?
Do you even know my name, my friend?
do you even know?
Do you even know?
But, you always have something to say
While you continue to call me the enemy
Misunderstanding us, and who we are
Because you always ignore me
You’ll never hear
How can I believe a thing you say
So, I just try to look normal
From ear to ear
How can you see a thing
In fog of war
You make us all paranoid
Act like idiots
I don’t care, anymore
That you’re not on my side
You’re so shady
Your making me look bad
But, he’s on again
He’s off again
Until he’s on again
I guess,
I like to throw you off
I guess
I like to throw it off
You just give it all away
You just give it all away my friend
You just give it all away
You just give it all
No one’s talking
But, there’s things to say
But, you won’t ever allow it
Because I’m weird
Your addicted to the way you are
You always wanna ignore me
For being here
Now I hate you
So let’s go to war
So you brought in an army on amphetamines
It’s eccentric to have
Thought at all
I don’t let you do it for me
And never will
I don’t care,anymore
That you’re not on my side
Cause here anything goes
When you were on my mind
I can’t decide
Every night
Can’t you tell I’m in love with you all this time?
Can’t believe how I’m talking
Shit, I must be tired
But, the hair on the
Back of my neck stands up
No one waiting there for you
On the other side
All we have
Is right now.

Le’ Triste (Retroger)
05:16

Living in patterns
Making things blue
Only thing that matters
I can’t tell you
I don’t do destiny
I don’t do destiny
Thinking ‘bout an army
Watching it too
If your getting rocks off
You’ll go too
Its war torn history
Its war torn history
Hurry it up
Baby Im tired
Lounging in the nude
For most of the night
To get warmed up next to me
You never warmed up to me
Taking my time
To Hurry Up
Got mixed up
In all the wrong stuff
I want you to believe
In the best of me
I miss your react
I miss your react
I miss your react
I miss your reaction
I miss your react
I miss your react
I miss your react
I miss your reaction
I miss your react
I miss your react
I miss your react
I miss your reaction
I miss your react
I miss your react
I miss your react
I miss your reaction

Tough Love
04:11
|

Into the jaws
I slept there all night
Don’t get me wrong
I tickle the bite
Catching on fire
To burn out the crap
That’s holding me back
I stretch out and bend
I’m so tied
In knots
Give me love, give me love
Then I won’t act so tough
All the time
And besides
It’s never quite right
When your gone
Am I invited
To wherever your hiding
I should be allowed to find out for myself
So, when I’m undecided
You know where to find me
So, try and get back to me I’ll be right here where we last watched as a word had just started to crawl and stand up on it’s own. Open its mouth wide. Started to sing off of the top of its head.
Made me feel like
After tonight
I don’t know what I want
I just know that it’s not what I’ve got
Oh,Kiss me back
And don’t let me down
I knew you could
Am I invited
To wherever your hiding
I should be allowed to find out for myself
So, when I’m undecided
You know where to find me
I don’t know what I want
I just know that it’s not what I’ve got
Oh,Kiss me back
And don’t let me down

Relax, I’m A Mess
03:37

I got to get away
You know you got to let me go
I’ll never have to wait
On you again
So the back beat
Stick out your chest
Don’t say it under your breath
If I ain’t under arrest
You know the raven’s
I’m the flower bed
On top of my head, singin’
I would describe it
They way that it came in
All the wild guesses
Fly, little honey
Could get me canceled
I’m a mess, so relax! Ahhh
If I could get you
One on one
I could win you over
Such a beautiful world but, it don’t
Don’t mean a thing
I could walk you home
But, we sort of
Walk over each other
Such a beautiful hurt
Cause I feel everything
Aimed at your chest
He keeps it loaded, I bet
But, now your under duress
Because, the flower of your neighborhood takes
Money for sex
I can’t describe it
Cause I don’t know where I am
Oh, the bellyaches
Look at the fine ways
I wanna mess you up
I’m a mess, so relax! Ahhh!
If I could get you
One on one
I could win you over
Such a beautiful world but, it don’t
Don’t mean a thing

Bodies

I was looking at the bodies. All strewn over the lawn. To some they’re only victims. To me, I was having some fun. Last night, weird looking down at your face.I thought I was the only one. Last time he’ll be talking his shit. Bloated, just from holding it in. You fuck. You suck.
I was looking at the bodies. All strewn over the lawn. To some they’re only victims. To me, I was having some fun. Last night, weird looking down at your face.I thought I was the only one. Last time he’ll be talking his shit. You got me so right. Yeah, you got me so right.
As I was looking for a connection. I don’t even belong inside your nexus. Northern Texas. Friends deceptive. Lives in hives. There’s no connection, connection, connection, connection
I think you should jump. I think you should just jump.

I was born to be alone
But, I don’t mind
I still see ya when I see ya
No wonder why
You always were
In the back of my mind
Even when I was
Just a little child
I don’t wanna go home
It’s too dangerous
Teenagers do what they want
I know that I’d be ok
If we never meet again
I was only trying to get you in a private conversation
Oh, it’s meant to be innocent
It only matters if you care
If you had to leave here
Right Away
That is all you’d have to say
I don’t wanna be saved
Unless,you’re part of the plan
Oh now
I can’t concentrate
The way I ought to
Unless I know your away
I admit it’s more fun when the party’s in the basement
Caught me feeling insecure
I’ll fake it
But, they all
Want a show
Avoiding all the
Eye assaults
Hope it seemed
Unrehearsed
Even when I was just a little child
To someone I barely know
I was talking
Talking my a million miles, million miles, million miles
I know that I’d be ok
If we never meet again
I was only trying to get you
In a private conversation
Oh, it’s meant to be innocent
It only matters if you care
If you had to leave here
Right Away
That is all you’d have to say
Oh, we will behave
So strange
You’ll never change
I don’t want to be saved
Unless, you’re part of the plan
Oh, get out of my way

Talk it with your eyes
Dissolve your stupid pride
Everybody hides
You really make me so
Oh you make me so
You make me so off
Oh you make me so
Oh you make me so
You make me so off
I feel like I’m worth it if you let me be real won’t say it cause I’d just
rather show you the filth on the surface pieces of us floating
A meal
Your gonna need somebody when the shit gets too real Anybody I’ve ever come across can remember if you doubt em took more than your part of the deal
You make me so
Oh you
You make me so off
Think about it
You
make me so
Oh you make me so
You make me so off!

THE SPIRAL SOUND Fort Worth, Texas
Electro-Rockers, THE SPIRAL SOUND, who’s music Christian James describes as “plastic sex rock”, is informed by electronic
music, but angular guitars and effects laden riffs are the driving force that surround Christian’s raspy, androgynous and sentient vocal performances. The songs are danceable but dark and intelligent with odd guitar tunings, thick slabs of reverb, delay and polyrhythmic beats
