I'm taking a few old things
And making a whole new thing
If you make a million
Then they're making billions
You better not stop
If you can't continue
Fuck what you've been through
They're taking the house
Keep moving forward
People are bored of it
They just don't know it yet
So give them a peek of
what they're gonna wanna be next
So stay ahead or it's your head
Don't make that record again
Wait a sec, and it's your neck
Go break the record again, moving
Up in the rankings
Up in the standings
Up in the charts
Turning the tables
Tipping the scales
And they're still calling it art?
Up in the rankings
Up in the standings
Up in the tables
Up in the charts
I'm so damn smart
I'm taking a few old things
And making a whole new thing
Your favourite band from way back
Used to love their old tracks
Back before they made stacks
Now you hate their new wax
You're so fake you know that
They're still great, you're just mad
Feel betrayed they got that
Precious taste offended
Don't like it, don't listen
Don't hate 'cause they're killing
Winners aren't the villains
They're the real ones who got recognized
Look into my eyes and know that
I have let you live this time
Don't make mistakes twice
I'm taking a few old things
And making a whole new thing

INTP (Keep On Waiting)
02:46
|

When did it change?
I've always been strange, you know
What if it hurts
To be brought down to earth too slow?
Floating and weightless
There's a pebble in my spaceship
Rattle around, little earthbound stowaway
Can't get it out, can't make it go
Away in the distance
There's a world that glistens
Pretty and round, calling me down
Down down down down down down down down
Keep on waiting for stars to fall
Keep on waiting for nothing at all
Should I descend?
Do the math in my head, I say no
What if I'm wrong
Didn't carry the one, what then?
Cold and impartial, heart partially frozen
Legs hardly even working after all of the floating
Too close to the sun, too far from a sky
Crushed by the feeling just of being alive
On the surface of a body that I'd rather forget
It's a jungle, people jumble up cause and effect
From the ether all the features sorta start to connect
The other factors fall away and you just solve for x
I'd rather get complex than do guess and checks
I'd rather talk by text than become ill-expressed
I'd rather glide and fantasize about what happens next
Than drop this ship from here into a lower orbit
So before it takes me
Round the side I'll say goodbye
Tiny pinprick in the sky
I know that it's your wish and that, I truly regret
But no you really shouldn't hold your breath
Keep on waiting for stars to fall
Keep on waiting for nothing at all

I can't help it, it's automatic
Got an itch and I've gotta scratch it
Finger twitch I'm a shot through the static
Til I stop on a channel, can you see me landing?
Sinking in so dim the lights
Gotta grin when it feels this right
Drown the wolves that howl out, I might
Not have much sleep to lose tonight
So choose bright screens over sheep
Keep them alive so I won't have to see
My face in the dead TV getting lit
From below by the laptop glow
Twilight zone style, get outta here Finchley
I could be rich even that wouldn't fix me
Write new songs and I don't sing pitchy
But I'm up all night long like Lionel Richie
Don't really look at myself in the mirror
I just check my hair
Smooth my clothes, watch my shows
Disappear
I can't explain it, it's like a flavour
Tip of the tongue tied up to savour
Making it up now no eraser
Got a smell in my nose that I can't put to paper
But I can recreate it, I can make you taste it
Spice right, make sure to baste it
With a little bit of luck and a pinch of patience
I'm amazing when I know where I'm aiming
I'm aiming high, but I'm kinda shy
So don't ask me why just take a bite
Even if it's not your type you will be like
"That guy sure knows what he likes," alright
I want a whole that's greater
Than the sum of all its parts
I wanna bare my soul but only
Share it through my art
I wanna to have control but still
Reflect what's in my heart, in here
Then disappear

ESFJ (Be Nice)
02:39

Time goes slow when you spend it alone
Always stuck inside, can't go home
Your mother cried on the phone
She said no no no no no no no
I'll stay light and comfortable
If you're up all night, you won't be cold
With me by your side, I will keep you warm
I'll just try to be nice
I just try to be nice
I just try to be nice
Hope it all works out for you
What more can I do?
What more can I do?
You know I'm asking you
You know I'm asking you
Feel so deep I could say so much
But I would settle for your touch
Oh I'll give more, Don't give up
I say no no no no no no no
I'll be back here on the hour
Changed the water for your flowers
Draw the curtains from the clouds and storms
I just try to be nice
I just try to be nice
I just try to be nice
Hope it all works out for you
What more can I do?
What more can I do?
You know I'm asking you
You know I'm asking you

ESTP (Come With Me)
02:36

Are you coming with me?
Come on, come with me
You belong here baby
It's our song they're playing
I can get you in the VIP
We go from beer to shots
Then shots to vodka shots
Vodka to mixed drinks
With peach schnapps in 'em
That guy's wearing all denim
Wonder if I should tell him?
He's bleached bangs, sliced lemon
I got fangs, but no venom
Worst case we tangle, yeah I get mangled
But then I got an angle on the lady he wrangled
And I think I could snake her out
She's all neck, big mouth
I move on the floor, reptilian
Tell her that she's one of a million
Oops, instead of one IN a million
Damn, I think she smacked my fillings in
Lick my lips, taste of blood
Don't I love a girl who can punch
Are you coming with me?
Come on, come with me
You belong here baby
It's our song they're playing
I can get you in the VIP
Midnight to four
Four-on-the-floor
Floor of the cab
Cabbing it home
Stab stab stabbing all horny
Gab gabbing all morning
Dunno what I told her
Whatever it would take to get her out tomorrow
Do a few of the same places
See where the evening takes us
Whatever, we can skip the line
You're with your friends
Yeah my buddies are already inside, well that's fine
Let's just show them a good time
Time to bring this whole place to life
Life's too short to not dance with me
I want to feel your hands on me
I want to see them thrust in the air
Til you drop them with the beat right here
Are you coming with me?
Come on, come with me
You belong here baby
It's our song they're playing
I can get you in the VIP

Stop zoom in
Enhance enhance enhance
Check against
The plan the plan the plans
There might be
A chance a chance a chance
Slipping through your
Hands your hands your hands
If I lost the use of my eyes
Would the way that I live my life make sense?
Obsessing over-stressing over tiny imperfections
Even 20/20 vision might miss
I've got lists of revisions, a singular focus
If nobody ever made it then I came the closest
Plugging little leaks that you would never have noticed
At once so powerful and so myopic
Had a gaze like a laser beam, but no more
Now I feel along the walls until I find the door
Ranged over strange new continents
In the search for an inland sea
Scorched by the summer sun and stranded on the banks
Of the Murray and the Murrumbidgee
Forget appeasing aborigines
And everything already achieved
Just steps down the path to the next big peak
A glimpse to the West of the glint of a creek
Spyglass down, my eyes are weak
I pass out and I don't eat
I need more vitamins, see?
Play piano in the hotel lobby
If I play well then no one stops me
Play piano in the hotel bar
Order salmon teriyaki
Spend the night out in Roppongi
People talk to me like they know me
Spend the night out at the Cradle
Piano tree, Shiina Takako
I can fit in anywhere
But I don't fit in anywhere
Don't you understand
We're big in Japan

If you knew my proper worth
You would beg for me baby
But it's never your fault
I'm so afraid that if I ask you you'll laugh
Take out a pencil and correct my math
I'll spend all my life chasing a paper love
Who won't agree that I could measure up
Lately I'm not so sure of
Maybe I'm not the worst off
Maybe it's worth it
Baby I'm worth it
I want you to know
Looking at an open door
You say change for me baby
But your loving's so hard
When I was younger I would wonder about
Beautiful people taking ugly spouses
What did they want that they could go without?
What did they have that they could make it up?
Lately I'm not so sure of
Maybe I'm not the worst off
Maybe it's worth it
Baby I'm worth it
I want you to know

You wept
As we said our vows the earth bent
The church came down like a tent
So we went to ground, all around us fell the pillars
See
Through the maze of beams and debris
Took your hand and I pulled you free
Down the scree to the land and no one followed
Us
We escaped with scrapes and deep cuts
Lost everyone we loved
Used my shirt sleeve to stop your blood
Safe
Need to head for open space
'Cause there'll be third and second quakes
I hold you while you shake
Like a nightmare come to life
Lost a world but gained a wife
You slept
Can't fix the mess in your head
But I can still make your bed
So we went to ground and I found us a couple pillows
We
Sift through rubble on the old street
Sniff for trouble, keep away from tall trees
I find you little things you need
Us
We escaped with scrapes and deep cuts
Lost everyone we loved
Making angels in the dust

I'm not bad with goodbyes
I'm bad with whys
That don't get answered
Like why did you call me
before you cancelled?
Why would you choose to use
Your roommate's bed?
Why the hell'd I trust
A single thing that you said?
It was all in my head
You never shared it
And now I'm less mad
Than I'm embarassed
You should take a chance
Sometimes that you're scared of
I knew in advance
I had it all taken care of, I'm careful
Now I'm sleeping in
Giving in
Making up
For the lost time
It's the inevitable letdown
You tell me you're in
Then you pull out again
Backups of backups of backups
Are getting my back up
On my back flailing, failing failsafes
I don't feel safe
In this dark place alone
It's sick and twisted
Everything that ever could go wrong
Is how I live it
Walls in, pitfalls
Balls of rock hard granite
If they've got it, I thought about it
And probably half planned it
Two-footed the landing
'Til the landing turned into lava
The volcano needs a virgin
And I don't have one
So I'm sleeping in
Giving in
Making up
For the lost time
I'm living it
She's giving in
'Stead of giving it
Giving it a try
It's the inevitable letdown
You tell me you're in
Then you pull out again

When she went to town
All the people around
Would just know her and wave
She never frowned
And her quiet could drown
Out the sound of the street
She was always an exception
Exceptionally bright
A collector of affection
Shot all through with light
And they're looking at you
And they can't look away
And they're looking at you
Wishing they could trade
And they're looking at you
Thinking everything's great
And they're looking at you
Can't see your pain so
Run from the devil
Make your name
Show them living is fine
Indelicate crime
In a delicate age
When she's left alone
She gets panicked and phones
Anyone who will listen
She's never sure
If the search for the cure
Is just one of the symptoms
Too quick to say sorry
When what she said was right
She dreams like Richard Cory
On a warm midsummer night
And she is looking at you
And you can't look away
And she's looking at you
You know her pain, say
Run from the devil
Make your name
Show them living is fine
Indelicate crime
In a delicate age

ESFP (Backing 'em Off)
02:38

Arms out telling me stay, stay, stay,
You gotta take my hand when they run this way
We're gonna make our stand and become a chain
And if they knock us down then we're on their team, you say
Arms out telling me stay, stay, stay,
If it's not fun for you we'll change the game
You know that no one's won if someone's not playing
And if they knock you down we'll get you up again
We'll go laughing and backing 'em off
Can you picture me sit in your red seat car
When we were both little, too young for broken hearts
If it was so simple why did I make it hard?
We'll go
Laughing and backing 'em off
We were both too little for driving cars
I got a picture of you with a broken heart
If it's so simple why do we make it hard?
It's just good times, noodle salad
And games that we would play in the yard
Good times, noodle salad
It was so simple why did I make it hard
Arms out telling me stay, stay, stay,
You gotta take my hand when they run this way
We're gonna make our stand and become a chain
And if they knock you down we'll get you up again

Calling: "you awake?"
The day's gonna come
The day's gonna come
The day's gonna come
Let's do it right for once
You can be the Red Bull in my lungs
You can be the Red Bull in my lungs
You can be the fat tongue on my Dunks
You can be the fat tongue on my Dunks
You can be the black paint on my T
You can be the black paint on my T
You can be the best part of me, well
You can be the very best part of me
The day's gonna come
Let's do it right for once
Calling: "you awake?"
Are you awake?
I've gotta know
Are you awake?
We've gotta go
Back to the lake
Covered in snow
Used to be great
It still will be so
Calling "you awake?"
The day's gonna come
Let's do it right for once

ISTP (Rile 'em Up)
02:45

Jack wasn't in class, he got suspended again
He didn't even do it, it was one of our friends
So let's climb up in the suspended ceiling
Drop water down on all of their heads
Wreck all of the principal's meetings
They thought the roof was leaking
Because we were so sneaky
But then Matthew started sneezing
And we jumped down and ran like the wind
Like the wind!
Spence is so against us doing dangerous stunts
One of these days he said I've got to grow up
He talks like I've been going off the deep end
I just dove in from two stories up
So maybe tomorrow, maybe this weekend?
But I know what I'm doing
It's not something I'm proving
I think it's so amusing
To get him upset and riled up
Rile him up!
It's almost morning and I'm knocking on Jonathan's door
Bar didn't take my fake ID so I went to the store
Drank it in a library bathroom
Went up to the Observatoire
In the parking lot surrounded by raccoons
The stationary traffic
They're all killing themselves laughing
While I'm yelling and I'm thrashing
And tumbling down the mountainside home
Let's go home!

INTJ (Hive Mind)
02:30
|

Out in the hall of the 2nd Grade for laughing
Cause what's-his-name can't do simple subtraction
I need action, I'm bored and the blackboard
Don't do fractions yet
Carpeted floors and the class hadn't split to factions yet
They connect their tamagotchis
While I'm watching the clock tick
Home for lunch, LEGOs and EGGOs
Baseplates are frisbees, bust your bottom lip
If you diss me, missed me, now you gotta kiss me
Pricking myself with tiny ancient humiliations
My brain won't shut off, slow down, or take vacations
You're connected to the hive, hive mind
You're connected to the hive mind
You're connected to the hive, hive mind
You're connected to the, connected to it all
How much work is it worth
To keep my sad friends from dying?
Are they destined to ditch
And I should spare myself crying?
Meet the ones that make middle-age
And maybe marry, and meantime
Hold a meeting for monsters of my kind
Sparring partners with the same armour
Think fast, see farther
Upvote all the on-target answers and banter
Keeping up grades, keeping up standards
Pick em apart, now picking out patterns
Try to explain why I'm quick to anger
but you don't understand and that makes me madder
That this is a circle jerk
This is a circle jerk
I'll see you later
You're connected to the hive, hive mind
You're connected to the hive mind
You're connected to the hive, hive mind
You're connected to the, connected to it all

INFJ (In a Dream)
02:37
|

I awoke from a dream
And then I slipped back in
You don't know what I've seen
You don't know where I've been
But if you concentrate
You just might listen in
Lost my toes in a dream
My teeth and hair fell out
Felt my throat, could't scream
My body let me down
I know I'm gonna break
But could you wake me now
Met your ghost in a dream
I knew your mood would change
A kind of clone, you, but mean
Snuck in and took your place
No one else could tell
The difference in your face
On a boat in a dream
We rowed without a sail
Up the coast to a stream
Escaping killer whales
We were both in tears
Just as we crossed the vale

INFP (Halo)
02:26
|
|||
It was early in the morning
When I learned to see your halo
Drank too much too fast again
Made out by the tracks of the train though
You got dirt in your shirt
I got sand in my socks
There's nothing planned, so hold my hand and
We can smile at the stars
You know, you usually listen
And I usu'lly listen too
So staring at the moon
Seemed like a natural thing to do
Staring at the edge, wondering
What's poking through?
I could tell you 22 degrees
The finer points of moisture
But you don't really need the numbers
Or the whole equation
You can start with a little piece
And make a swift extrapolation
You're on a 22 grand job
Without U.K. exchange rate
So you bob along on swells
Disappear and reappear
The tide inside the shell,
I press your voice into my ear
The tide inside the shell
Ever far and ever near
It was early in the morning
It was early in the morning
When I learned to see your halo
Rung around the darkness
That was all I used to know
You pulled me in the farthest
Not to fight, but feel it whole
And find control in this catharsis
'Til it tells me where to go
Then take a bearing off Polaris
And start heading for the goal
Take a bearing off Polaris
It's the only one I know
