Replicant 03:03
I was being followed but thought him far behind. Now I see how close he is. Now there is an end in sight. I used to be the hunter, but now I am haunted. The fear I've caused in others now replicates inside. For the first time I've made sense of dreams. Though I am disembodied, I have found my meaning. I was being hunted but thought him far behind. Now I see him standing here. Now I see the end is clear.

Observer 03:25
The distance of seven billion light years to the nearest person. How long, how far from where you are? Be my observer. Seven billion people here and further from each one it appears. Come to me I’ll come to you. We’ll be observers. How long, how far to where you are? Be my observer. Someday it will be silly to wonder if we are alone. Someday it will be fitting to watch the stars, to know there are eyes looking back back back. (Repeat)

Serious Man (free) 04:04
Don’t make me laugh when I am mad. I am a serious man. Pay attention to what you’re forgiven of. Touch me not with your kid gloves. It may be fun to see my colors run. No I am not just being stubborn. I prefer determined. Don’t make me smile when you’re on trial. No it’s not a case of denial. It may be fun to see my colors run. Don’t twist my tongue or dissect my idioms. I am a man of distinction.

However you go it won’t be alone. I’ll have you followed. You won’t remember me, and I won’t remember you. I’m just someone new. May we partake of these moments I’ve made into memories? May we partake of these moments I’ve made into memories? However, if you go I won’t be alone. I’ll have my pictures with me. You won’t remember me, but I’ll remember you. We are something new. May we partake of these moments I’ve made into memories? May we partake of these moments I’ve made into memories.

The Arrival 03:47
From here I can see what is not there to our own eyes. From there I can hear what is not heard by human ears. I can feel the arrival of truth. Truth. But it comes to me without proof. I have been chosen by something not alive. Incubate its will through me. Synthesize its piety. I can feel the arrival of… I can feel the arrival of…

Vanitas 03:33
In my still life there’s a skull and bowls of fruit that will be rotting soon. I suppose the best I can do is immortalize eternal gloom. I suppose the best I can do is sign my name on these minutes of fame. Where is all of the wine? Where has all of the wine gone? Where has all the wine gone? x3 Ahh…

Clamor 04:02
In the span of half an hour we will live our lives. The high silence resounding now with the echoes of our listening. You and I will make a clamor in this half an hour. The sulking gods protest on their clouds as we vandalize the silence. In the span of half an hour we have lived our lives. Now we wish to hear the voices of our future, but to speak is sin. You and I will make a clamor in this half an hour. The sulking gods protest on their clouds as we vandalize the silence. Ooooh…

A New Stone 03:13
When we all are undone there will be sand to build a new stone. And all the crumbled symbols are disowned. Dawn is not so dark as the day we burn out. And all the shadows stutter in doubt. When we all are sand there will be stones on which to stand. And all the crumbled kingdoms are reclaimed. Ahh…

The Brave 03:07
Who’s kept track of time? How many years till we arrive? Eight in ten have died. Open the hatch goodbye. The future of our race is for the patient not the brave. Who’s kept track of time? How many years till we arrive? How old now am I? Who can now make sense of time? Systems working fine. What does it mean now to have a life? Nine in ten have died. Open the hatch goodbye.
10.
Open System 01:34
From the big come small. The sun goes dancing now as the flagella propels. Faces up there come out from nowhere. From the small comes large the moon is out. He is smiling now. Faces up there come from here, from us.

Somnamputism 02:31
12.
The ray of fruits fall and float by the millions until they take root. We are not what you call weeds. In our tiny pods we are more like gods. Our spores softly glide but devour like the tooth of the lion. We are a forest of carnivores don’t try to stop us. We have the numbers. Our spores softly glide but devour like the tooth of the lion.

Tony 03:33
Don’t break me. Don’t break my heart again. Don’t fool me. Don’t make me a fool again. Chasing you boy wasn’t easy. I thought forever meant with me. Don’t bleed me. Don’t leave me high and dry. I’m dreaming. Please open up my eyes. Chasing you boy wasn’t easy. I thought forever meant with me. Well baby I’m dying to know. Was this a lie? Is our love now dried out on the vine? Tony… Don’t break me. Don’t break my heart again. Don’t fool me. Don’t make me a fool again.
