Kyrie eleison
2.
I open up my mouth Sounds come out and fill the air These sounds rush blindly on a speeding wave To any ears that might be waiting there They enter on both sides of your head And there they tickle tiny hairs Now replaced by tiny little sparks Rushing onward to the part of you that cares I have nothing to say... These sparks continue 'til they've reached your brain Where each one touches the proper nerve Which triggers one of a vast multitude of memories That have been waiting there to serve Now I ask you to suspend your disbelief I know the next part sounds absurd It seems that after all these things have happened You now perceive I've spoken words I have nothing to say... Your brain relates these sounds that I've made To things you've seen and done before An intricate and private inner world of symbols A giant sea with bits of flotsam on the shore But your symbols don't mean anything to me I've quite a large set of my own And yet out of our desperate need for understanding This crazy system of sounds and symbols has somehow grown I have nothing to say...
3.
I get up in the morning Ready for another day, fine, fine Brush my teeth, take a shower Take a shower It's OK, it's alright Leave it, forget it, nevermind I go down in the evening Pissed away another day, fine, fine It's OK, it's alright Leave it, forget it, nevermind I'm only learning, sometimes discerning This thing or that thing that gets in my way It seems unlikely that somehow despite me I'll learn anything this way I'm alive when I'm sleeping Breathing in and breathing out, fine, fine Sometimes dreams show me something
4.
Memory will fade away In time, all gone, like tears in rain I have lived ten thousand days Ten thousand times they've slipped away Can't see them come, can't see them go away All of you, so dear to me I'll lose you all to memory
5.
Clean 03:03
Can't you see it's alright? Can you see at all? Can't you see it's just fine? Close your eyes Don't let it concern you No reason for alarm Why should this affect you? You're not to blame You've got troubles of your Own to fret about The world is full of suffering It can't be helped Save your tender mercies For those who love you too Keep yourself dry and warm and clean Try to stay clean
6.
The Host 05:12
I'm here, everyone can see My flesh, in a fixed quantity Charged with electricity My stuff moves around constantly Does my matter even matter? These sparks will go out someday My flesh will fall down and decay
7.
There's something small inside my head Assuring me that I'm not dead Three pounds of meat give it a home A sly and furtive little gnome I know the way I don't know the way It's been with me right from the start I know someday it will depart It makes a vile, revolting mess I guess they call it consciousness I know the way I don't know the way
8.
Nothing's real... It's all real... I can't rely on the truth of my senses any more than you can Nevertheless there are things that demand our attention There are powers we've been trained not to see, Spreading horror and fear all around us while apathy eats us alive War is here... Pain is real... No one cares... Over and over and over... One bright day... We may see... A time when all of us finally come to our senses And put aside all these filthy lying pretenses And maybe we'll cease to ignore all the carnage around us Maybe there will come a time, in time, time

Ten-Ten 03:03

about

A slow burning semi-concept album that explores the inner self, outer being, and strange things in between, against the matte background of our absurd, comical, and nonsensical world.

about

The Globs Boston, Massachusetts

Hailing from Boston, USA, The Globs are a mischievous bunch known for their ironic and quirky brand of indie rock. Sticking to a philosophy of never repeating themselves, their 3rd album "Hit You With Your Own Fantastic" is a pop voyage through a funhouse of anomalous sardonic themes and millennial anthems. ... more
