someone blabbing on the tv screen
yelling about their promises
"true shall come all your dreams"
only actors in a circus!
it's a distraction
pulling your strings tight
giving you satisfaction
while they're creeping in the night
what a dirty trick
had us think we chose
who is the leader of the sick
only our puppet master knows
don't be distracted!
look close enough you can see its just acting
directing this herd of sheep where they want us to be
someone blabbing on your tv screen
so replace them with a movie
don't buy into their schemes
fulfill your own dreams

just so you are always right
so we never have to fight

come right in and listen to me
this life of convenient luxury shall destroy humanity
these all seeing eyes are controlling us artificially
been growing patiently
we have been fooled
we have been fooled
smoke and mirrors and flashing screens
location devices always listening
only photos are left of how it used to be
hold your breath the water is gonna get deep

im freaking out figured it out in my head
i know exactly how its gonna happen with bloodshot eyes and sweaty forehead
nothing gonna happen but i swear it already has
hiding from no one thats not coming in my head there already here
stress show in my head nervously humming
anxiety gonna kill me
anxiety there coming for me
anxiety panic inside of me
anxiety everyone is listening
this led to that which is the cause of this
its all my fault on invisible shitlist
wash hands dont touch diseases everywhere
the government is listening as aliens with human hair
watching you
watching them
building walls to trap you in
anxiety this is it
anxiety too nervous to sit
anxiety so sick of this
anxiety shut the fuck up and stay quiet

how doesn't everyone know?
are you seriously still wondering?
do you think human with earth stuff can make cell phones and computers from nothing?
from a light bulb to a lazer beam?
in a century of so called 'inventing'?
we are the aliens!
we are the locust of the earth!
blindfold are comfortable in the media shower
oil industry killing everything for power
we don't get to change cause of old man greed
just stay distracted with your television and legal weed!

we're sitting in silence totally fine
the movie is going the sound is sublime
then, a sound from outside
oh no! the dogs gonna loose his mind
barking at the door
stop barking
no more
give it a rest dog no more
tell him to shush he doesn't care
so determined to yell with porcupined neck hair
all day bea says shut up
too much to bear
clip the vocal cords
the scissors are right there!

pull the strings tight!
01:34
|

|
woken up in the middle of the night
stabbing my face twisting knife
sparks like a demon's dynamite
corpse of this tooth walks tonight
pull the string tight
pull the string tight
sugar addicted sugar dissolves
tell the dentist to kill em all
black as cancer punch the walls
graveyard of cavity zombies crawl
shoot the root in the head
cease the pain decay walking dead
i didn't listen to what the dentist said
root canals and hospital beds
pull the string tight
pull the string tight

SLEEPING GHOST San Diego, California

SLEEPING GHOST recommends:
i saw the singer Gabe jump up during a show, land directly on his back on the floor and not miss a lyric. this band is like a hyper and cranky younger brother to band Dead and Gone.
