TENSOR The Lyrics

SLIDER (Anodyne)


There
Just out of reach
Struggling to practice what you preach
Slips
In
Without a sound
Dizzy dizzy pins you to the ground

You just
Smile
And fade away
Don`t forget your medication
Self describe alleviation

Spreads
Like a disease
Saturating all your memories
It
Splits
Your mind in two
No surprise don`t know what to do

So just
Smile
And fade away
Don`t forget your medication
Self describe alleviation
Smile
And fade away

Looking for the quick solution
Drowning
In your
Own confusion
`Cause there`s no turning back
Strung out on your own
Hope you`re not too weak

Hey
Haven`t seen you `round
Guess your busy with the new friends that you found
And your big excuse
That your life`s not fair
You don`t have to tell me
I don`t care

I`ll just
Smile
And fade away
Don`t forget your medication
Self describe alleviation
Smile
And fade away

Looking for the quick solution
Drowning in your own confusion
Smile

Wishing it would go away
Wishing it would go away


GONER (Anodyne)


This ticking in my head
Is drowning out my thoughts
I can`t seem to get a grip
Something nails me
Language fails me

I`m climbing up the walls
And end up off my face
See I got to
Come to
Terms with always waiting
Always waiting

Suddenly it snaps
The tether just breaks free
Nothing is going down
Till tomorrow
Till tomorrow
I don`t need to have
No and I don`t need to hold
See I tried and tried just
Mystified me
Countin` down the minutes
Zero hour`s here
I`m gone

Enough of this charade
Let`s cut
Right to the chase
This avarice is fueled
By desires
Your desires
The sparkle`s a facade
Tries to be what it is not
I`m refueling
Ain`t no fooling
Later alligator
Call me audi 5
I`m gone

Yeah
Solo oooh
I`m gone
Solo oooh

`Cause I`m approaching
Oblivion
No more troubles
On my mind
Weight is lifting
Off my shoulders
I`m gonna leave it
All behind
Gone

This ticking in my head
Is drowning out my thoughts

I`m gone

Yeah
Solo oooh
Ggone
Solo oooh

Gone
Gone

Solo oooh


LEMON RIND (Anodyne)


You`d think I come from a long line of suckers
By the number of times I end up in the same situation
You`d think that once
Just once
Things could work out smoothly

But then the spell breaks
All kinds of hell breaks loose
You scratch your head
Apologize again and for what
You keep on trying
Identifying
All the things you said
Everything you did was wrong

But it`s alright
I don`t mind
I feel fine
Till tomorrow
When the aftershock hits

Okay okay
This time
It`s gonna be different
As long as everything is up front
And we`re both honest
About our
Feelings
Maybe we can work through
These recurring
Nightmares

But then the spell breaks
All kinds of hell breaks loose
You scratch your head
Apologize again and for what
You keep on trying
Identifying
All the things you said
Everything you did was wrong

But it`s alright
I don`t mind
I feel fine
Till tomorrow
When the aftershock hits

Take your time
Just unwind
Lemon rind

But be careful what you say
`Cause I`m hoping you`ll see
What you`re wanting is me
There`s still a chance
You could be wrong
We`ll continue to play
The same games everyday
Don`t write me off
Not yet

Well well well
Surprise surprise
Another day
I still feel like a jerk
God damn

But it`s alright
I don`t mind
I feel fine
Till tomorrow
When the aftershock hits

Take your time
Just unwind
Lemon rind

But be careful what you say
`Cause I`m hoping you`ll see
What you`re wanting is me
There`s still a chance
You could be wrong


LIFTOFF (Anodyne)


You seem tired
And preoccupied
You`re not sleeping
You`re churning inside
Relax
Close your eyes
I just might
Have the
Solution
Whenever you`re ready

Reaching escape velocity
Coming down
Ain`t an option
Burning through
The stratosphere
Could you
Try to follow me

Now we`re blazing `cross an empty sky
Feeling weightless and starry eyed
Don`t worry everything will work out if
You take a chance now
Whenever you`re ready

Reaching escape velocity
Coming down
Ain`t an option
Burning through
The stratosphere
Could you
Try to follow me

Reaching escape velocity
Coming down
Ain`t an option
Burning through
The stratosphere
Could you
Try to follow me

Could you
Try to follow
Me


INFATUATED (Anodyne)


I`m obsessed again
I know it ain`t right
Just can`t seem to get this off my mind
Clingin` like a bad dream
Nowhere left to hide
No denying
Super flying

Hide and seek in hotel rooms
Do not disturb signs
Stuck between delicious
And divine
Flicker
Photoplay
Tantalize and scandalize
And she
Knows it

I`m infatuated
It`s out of my control
Super captivated
Now I know for sure

Penetrated by blue eyes
And hypnotic heartbeats
Slow dissolving friction
So sublime
And it`s everywhere
Fills me up completely
And she
Knows it

I`m infatuated
It`s out of my control
Super captivated
Now I`m stuck for sure
Wish I could live without it
Don`t wanna have to doubt it
`Cause I want
To know
This time it`s for sure

Crystal clear and still
Drifting through another daydream
Starts a chain reaction
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind

I`m infatuated
It`s out of my control
Super captivated
Now I`m fucked for sure
Wish I could live without it
Don`t wanna have to doubt it
`Cause I want
To know
This time it`s for sure

And how `bout you


SILVER SPOON (Anodyne)


Living dirty and the cotton is low
Doesn`t matter man I don`t wanna know
About your
Charming life
Or your little plans

Now I`m cruisin` and my mind is aflame
Neurons firin` they curse
Your name
And all the games you play
Even the ones you lose

And it`s no surprise
That you`re thriving
Line your pockets
With the favours you return
Break the spirits
Of the helpless
Count the promises you`ll break

Plastic smile always glued into place
Chronic liars wish that I could erase
The filth they`ve
Perpetrated
In my life

Rapid media with blood lust appeal
Sell their daughters sweeten up the
Deal
Delivering an audience without a clue

But it`s no surprise
That they`re thriving
Line their pockets
With the favors they return
Pandering to
All the brainless
Count the profits
That they`ll make

Money laundered with a pat on the back
Frequent flyers fill the streets with
Crack
And every war we fuel
With our faces turned

Yeah
It`s no surprise
That we`re thriving
Line our pockets
With another country`s hate
Plant the bodies
By the roadside
Count the widows
That we`ve made


CHECKIN` OUT (Anodyne)


Big shots and belly achers
Fat cats and trouble makers
They`re all the same to me

Slick back designer action
Come see the main attraction
Blend in you know the drill

False fronted advertising
Flat broke and none the wiser
Bite down today
Well it just ain`t your
Day

It`s a steal
Come and get your share
Check it out
It`s a nightmare

Hey

Flip flop the new derision
All talk and tunnel vision
The zealous` moving in

They`ll sever your connections
Rub out your good intentions
Surprise the joke`s on you

Bad breaks
Mistakes
You`re living a lie
You wanna cry
But you can`t even
Feel

It`s a steal
Come and get your share
You`ll deny
You ever had it so good
Spinning wheels
In perpetual motion
I`m checking out
Of the nightmare

Caught in the crosshairs of this sea of information
Relax enjoy the show

All the attention
All the special interests
Fingers on the triggers
Targets have been chosen
So entertaining you`ll just watch to the end
You`ll pretend
You`ll defend
Until you`re blue in the face

It`s a steal
Come and get your share
You`ll deny
You ever had it so good
Spinning wheels
In perpetual motion
I`m checking out
Of the nightmare


ELECTROSTATIC (Anodyne)


Magazines and broken bottles
All the clutter on the shelf
Snapshots on the bedside table
Tell the story by themselves

Ooooooooh
What a strange attraction
Such a dangerous combination

Dreams electrostatic nightmares
If he ever dreams at all
Tracing cracks across the ceiling
Staring holes into the wall

Ooooooooh
What a strange attraction
Such a dangerous combination
But who cares
Head is in the clouds
And your mind is reeling

Detached from everything just floating free 
So what`s it gotta be
It`s hard to say
Surrender to it all
Enjoy the ride
Let your heart decide
It`s not afraid

Ooooooooh
What a strange attraction
Such a dangerous combination
But who cares
Head is in the clouds
And your mind is reeling


WINDOWPANE (Anodyne)


I
I`m leaving my breath on a windowpane
I
I`m on the outside looking in
Seen
Far too much it shakes my confidence
Now
Well I`m so numb I fit in

Wanna try
Don`t be shy
`Cause it`s all the rage these days
No one cares
No one dares
A generation in decay

Far
Too many people with no time to kill
All
Their wasted passion`s a disgrace
Climb on board
Have a seat
There`s no time to be discrete
Let `em know
How we feel
Let`s start harmonizin`

Even though the world`s this way
And all the news is bad today
I could think of one or two
Things I`d like to do with you

Now 
I`m not tortured by my circumstance
`Cause I`m
Insulated from it all
Yes I can
And I will
Gonna blow off steam today
Know the score
I`ll ignore
Only listen to myself
Only listen to myself
Shut the mindless out as
Well
All the rest can go to
Hell


ALL TAKERS (Anodyne)


Keep your opinions
I don`t need to know
Doesn`t suprise me
You think you`re right
That look upon your face just begs a slap
So don`t you tempt me
I just might

Little obsceneties
Don`t try to play me like a fool
I don`t scare so easily

Hands in the cookie jar and cheshire grin
The same excuses
So played out
You try to work it so you`ll always win
I know you think that`s what it`s all about

Little obsceneties
Don`t try to play me like a fool
It`s not that hard to see
Your attitude is nothing new
I don`t scare that easily

Do dododo
Dododo...

And when you`re looking `round for sympathy
You`ll get some interest
But not mine
Mine
Mine

You can`t conceive another point of view
Won`t even try to
Why should I

Little obsceneties
Don`t try to play me like a fool
It`s not that hard to see
Your attitude is nothing new
Don`t even speak to me
You only want what`s best for you
I don`t scare so easily

Do dododo
Dododo...
