All this unawareness
Runs me through the ground
I can’t understand this
Drown it out with sound
Going through the motions
I see what’s coming down
All of this around me
It’s being thrown around
Going through the motions
Don’t like this around me
I guess I’ll walk around you
I’ll avoid what I can’t see
It’s inside my skin
There’s no way to find it
Became too real
Do it all until you die from it
All this unawareness
Runs me through the ground
I can’t understand this
Drown it out with sound
Testing all my patience
With a whirlwind mind
I’m going through some changes
There’s something I need to find
All this unawareness
Runs me through the ground
I can’t understand this
Drown it out with sound

Pose
03:50
|
|||
|
Who are you posing for
When you’re lying there on the floor?
Do you know who’s going to see
And start begging for more?
You pose but it’s not you
You need a witness in the end
You pose but it’s not you
Alternate reality is not a friend
Pose for me
show me that side that you don't show for me
Now it’s everywhere
Let’s see who even cares
Who am I to judge
I guess I like it too much
Can’t you see me in any light
We get in a fight to get it right
I’ve got time to burn
With nothing there to learn
Pose for me

Forbidden Fruit
02:58
|
|||
|
Earthly delights surround you
But you’re getting hungry for more
The fruit looks ripe for tasting
You don’t know what’s in store
Tasting the forbidden fruit
Pick a fruit and pass it down
It looks shiny and new
Eden’s far away from here
Your eyes give me the cue
Juices escape the surface
They’re running down everywhere
But you can’t find the time to clean it up
And no one seems to care
Eating the forbidden fruit
You know you should only have one
But your eyes play tricks on you
When someone else comes along
You know just what to do
Throw away forbidden fruit
(Throw it away, throw it away)

Data Pain
03:32
|
|||
|
Getting all my readings
Writing them down
Fingers always moving
Brain can’t wrap around
This cloud of doubt
is holding me
I need some rain
to help me see
This data pain is coming on
You once made me feel like I’m strong
But all at once I fall to my knees
What felt right is now so wrong
Pain
Analyzing all my feelings
They’re getting me down
My eyes are always moving
Heart is beating loud
Pain
You don’t have to prove your pain
Don’t let it get you down
Share everything that you want

Fake Awake
03:01
|
|||
|
Are we really awake
Or do we just react
To everyone else’s lives
Just a matter of fact
We’ll fake ’til we’re awake
End up on your own
Making all your worth
Become the lesser known
Now you start to shake
When you stop and think
Do you fake it, until you make it
Makes my stomach sick
Once you start to hold on
to all your thoughts
something fake comes along
denying what you’ve got
A little bit of thought goes a long way
To fight for a brighter day
Whenever the sun rises
It’s another chance for compromises
Fake til you’re awake
You’ll end up on your own
Make all your worth
Be the lesser known

Love Under Glass
02:38
|
|||
|
Trapped under digital feel
Fingers slide up and down
Love takes all your concentration
No one else is around
You’ve got love under glass
Everyone needs your attention
It’s a drug you can control
If you could only see
The addiction changes the role
Private windows are all you see
Glance at the perfect match
Emotions rise to meet their demise
When the love’s hopes are dashed
Grasp your future in your hands
Search for it within
Find yourself the perfect partner
And then you plug it in
Love Under Glass

This Body (In Control)
03:15
|
|||
|
Can I explain my experience
When I’m out of control?
I blamed it all on my body
Stealing it away from my soul
Look at who’s around you
You crack a smile
There’s a feeling in the air
This could go on for a while
This body’s creeping up on me
All around me It’s all I can see
I need to take this lying down
Get me away from the crowd
Tension pulses through my synapses
There’s more giving in
It’s all a dream come true
What’s there left to do
This body’s creeping up on me
All around me it’s all I can see
I need to take control
There’s gotta be somethin to fill this hole
This body’s creeping up on me
All around me It’s all I can see
I need to take this lying down
Get me away from the crowd

Oblivion
03:00
|
|||
|
Is this the rebirth
or a decay of everything
is this my dream or someone else’s?
Maybe I’ll never know
It’s just oblivion
in the eyes of everyone I know
Is this a bad trip
if you’re as clean as can be?
Did my dreams betray me
Or is this the end?
It’s just oblivion
in the eyes of everyone I know
We’ve all learned something the wrong way
But we make due everyday
If we continue to do things wrong
We'll pay for it someday

The Pining
04:26
|
|||
|
Breathing out
I stop my reaction
I took your hand
With your direction
I might not feel good now
maybe I’ll feel better tomorrow
But I’ll try to see it your way tonight
Catch my breath
You stop me from running
This situation
Plans dissolve into nothing
You might not feel good now
I might not feel good now
But we’ll feel better tomorrow
But I’ll try to see it your way tonight

Kurt Thomas Hauswirth recommends:
Great synth classic. Sublime faux-soundtrack that makes you want to dance in day-glo while simultaneously feeling paranoid of androids

Put me in a very relaxing mood. Great blend of electronic sounds.

Between the Water and the Wonder Wheel
by The Hollows
No fake, this is a helluva rip-roaring roots rock/indie folk rock album. Bunch of talented mofos, that's for true.
