Ape X i!i lyrics

P h o n e y B a l o n e y

Aren't we so sure of ourselves? Don't we just stand up so proud? Aren't we just the greatest thing on earth? No, I'm gonna say it: The Universe!

Don't we just seem like the Clown? But haven't we figured it out? We can be whatever we would like to be. We can see exactly what we'd like to see.

And then you can be so sure. And then you can be so sure.

But isn't this surely the worst? Don't act like we'll quench this thirst. Fortunate coincidence plays prophecy. The simple fact is all things end in misery.

And then you can be so sure. And then you can be so sure.

And isn't it all such total drag? Remember when it was just "Lighting up a fag?"

Why must it all be so complicated? Don't think so hard, It's pre-meditated.

And then you can be so sure. And then you can be so sure.

So...

Sure.

Hey...

Hey

Do you know what your problem is?

I can tell you:

You fall in love with the sun in your eyes. You see the birds baked alive for surprise. And when they all come busting out, It takes all your thoughts and then you don't know how not to--

From the outer limits, coming in real close / Moving through your headspace, Holy Cosmic Ghost / Like you've always known me / Like it took too long / Kinda makes you nervous / And it should but you gotta be strong

It's only up from here

Forever and again

You gotta see potential in what's going down around you

And you gotta let it in

(Still a good vibration, honey, still a conversation)

What you're saying is you got game

What you're saying is you're doing your thing, ooh

What you're saying is you got game

What you're saying is you're doing your thing, ooh

A Billion Golden Buddhas going straight to the dome / I know you feel the energy in everything, and you wanna take it home / Supersonic speedway / Travels outside time / All you gotta do is ask me if you ever need a ride to a club in the Astral Plane / We can skip the line / Supernova champagne in a glass that knows your sign / Drinking Topo Chico / sipping on Fernet / Enjoy the conversation, might be all you get

From the outer-limits, coming in real close / Moving through your headspace, Holy Cosmic Ghost / Some people call it Magic / Some people call it Luck / Don't have to understand it to know that these vibes

It's only up from here

Forever and again

You gotta see potential in what's going down around you

And you gotta let it in

What you're saying is you got game

What you're saying is you're doing your thing (Ooh)

What you're saying is you got game

What you're saying is you're doing your thing (Ooh)

You know what it means to be here

You know what it means

You know what it means to be here

You know what it means

I can really get into a flow

Make a mountain move because I know where it should go

By now

By now you should know

That I am only playing in the sense that I ain't playing, no

Make a couple people stop and ask me

If I am Domhnall Gleeson, that's a way to get your ass beat

And every day I'm feeling more and less of the pain

No, I'm not sane, but that's the price of the brain

You know what it means to be here

You know what it means

Every time I try to tell a good joke, I straight choke

And then I can't remember how it goes

And every time I've got the punchline it's a bad time

You're gonna wish I hadn't spoke

You see, there's two kinds of people, and there's one kind of church

And if you can't find the reason, better read another verse

And then weep

And lose a little more sleep

I ain't saying that it helps but that shit runs deep

You know what it means to be here

You know what it means

You know what the Universe is dealing

And every single second is some sick kind of blessing

You know that the world's in need of healing

Better make sure that your daily thoughts are throwing everything off for you

Cause it's true, everything that happens moves right through

And there's little you can do if you don't know yourself

You know what it means to be here

You

You know

You know, you know

Every time I try to tell a good joke, I straight choke

And then I can't remember how it goes

But every time I've got the punchline it's a bad time and then I wish I hadn't spoke

You see, there's two kinds of people, and there's one kind of church

And if you can't find the reason, better read another verse

And then weep

And lose a little more sleep

I'm not saying that it helps but that shit runs deep

Lately I've been putting sugar in my coffee again. I don't condone it, but I'm still gonna own it. I still skip the milk; I don't know if it's guilt, but I do know that I get a stomach ache.

I've gotten a little more into tea; I'd say mostly rooibos and green; trying to cut back on that caffeine, because it seems to heighten most anxieties. I think I've been here before. Gotten back to pacing the floor. What is it good for? Thinking. And drinking more Hot Things. Dependency. Consistency. Cause looking in the mirror there is more than one thing, so just give me the dang pot and I will write the scene.

It would be so good to have so much more of you if it weren't for the shakes, and you make my heart race.You tend to keep me up at night. It's nothing new and it's alright. I always think I'll put up a better fight, but then your essence gets me.

Do you feel like you're taking up space?

Well you are, Motherfucker

Better make yourself useful

I'm not trying to set a pace

I just walk really fast

Everything around you is gonna change

Are you ready for it?

Is it something you can handle?

Funny how it all can feel the same

Because it's gonna change

It's gonna change

We don't feel

We don't feel right

We don't see

We don't see right

We don't think

We don't think right

We don't love

We don't love right

It's hard work

Hard work

It's hard work

Hard work

It's hard work

Hard work

It's hard work

Hard work

(Ooh)

I see you off at the airport way too much

And although I can't be right up there with the you I dream of such

But I'll ride home alone again

Until you need a get away again

I'll be holding on to everything you've given me

But you won't see me for at least awhile now

I watch you board the plane every with your side-piece

And every single time I wonder to myself what am I thinking

What am I thinking

You know what it's fine I can see

That right now you just don't need me

I can chill here on my own

Plus I've still got half your clothes and you're gonna have to get 'em back

Always put down so low

So close and yet still so solo

But at least you know I know

This baggage weighs down your soul

I'm down with the darkness

Meditation is my harness

It's about your mindset when it's hardest

Winning the both zipper and the heart takes an artist

I'm just a player and here's the score

It's One, you

Zero, me

But I've got all thing things that you cannot just leave behind

And you'll come back for me

And who knows where I'll be

So let's just cut the bullshit baby

I'll be holding on to everything you've given me

But you won't see me for at least awhile now

Carry on

I want to want to want to carry on

Carry on

I want to want to want to

I'll be holding on to everything you've given me

But you won't see me for at least awhile now

G o a l s

Slip, flip, roll

Sip, sip, slowly

We both know how this is gonna go, don't we?

In my mind's eye, I think I see you

But in the sobering light of reality, I feel like I've got no clue

Still I wanna be

Goals

It's high risk

And it's high reward

And it's high time that I get out of my head and start moving forward

I know I've been such a fool

But knowing is enough to make the changes now so it's cool

Still I wanna be

Goals

When the stakes are high the heart sets fire (You're gonna find)

When your state of mind elevates you get a little higher (You won't mind)

When the stakes are high the heart sets fire (You're gonna find)

When your state of mind elevates you get a little higher (You won't mind)

Happening to us / Ape X

Hallelujah / Amen

Happening to us / Apex

Hallelujah / Amen

It's quite a handful,

Handful,

Two hands full

That body's a temple,

Temple

(Wanna worship within it)

I wanna be a grateful, grateful animal

And accept that it's painful with and without pull

Something's in the water and I've been drinking it

Silver in my tongue and so the tip keeps going numb

Sick of feeling like I'm over-thinking it

I wanna find peace but I'm not gonna play dumb

Every time I see ya, wanna burry my face

In more than one place

My mind's in a race

I really try hide it but it gets me so excited

I would let you put me in my place

Looking at the news, something's coming soon

It's quite a handful

Handful

Two hands full

That body's a temple

Temple

Wanna worship within it

I wanna be a grateful, grateful animal

And accept that it's painful with and without control

Feel so holy, wow, how it's chemical

Fear goes slowly, wow, how it's chemical

And when I wake up I'm not quite there yet

Not quite there yet

But I'll be there soon

It goes One, then Two

But the Zero lets you

Fuck up and drug up and hustle for the come up

I don't get excited, no one said I was invited

I don't need that kinda bullshit in my life

I've been peeling off the strife

Sharpening the knife

Simmering the hype

I'm balling, enthralling, with my face still falling

But I tend to lose the drive, I'm half-fucking-Mulholland

I do need calling

When not I'm just stalling

I don't make excuses, no, the concept's abusive

So I need bigger paycheck

To pay for get shit done

Cause I'm sick of pro-bono

Cause your free work takes too long

You think I think I need for nothing, you're wrong

I need you

I need truth

To get strong

To shake loose

If I'm gonna be honest I mostly think about ass

But when it shows up I typically pass

Scared of the aftermath, and dynamics, and how change

Gotta get that shit in order or you're gonna fuck it up again

But when I wake up I'm not quite there yet

Not quite there yet

But I'll be there soon

It goes One, then Two

But the Zero lets you

Feel so holy, wow, how it's chemical

Fear goes slowly, wow, how it's chemical

Q u i v e r

(Breathe, etc.)

Breathe

Breathe in deep

Breathe in sweet

It's the last breath before the release

Just a moment in the air before it sinks

Sinks in deep

And a scream from your deep

You cannot hide

Your true self

Come alive as you die

And you will die with it sticking straight out of your chest

And you will bleed

And you'll plead to your god, let it end

And it will end

It will end

As if it wouldn't end

It'll end

It'll end, oh

Breathe

I t ' s R i g h t A b o v e Y o u

Speak softly, when you do it gives them the chills

Walk quickly, everything out there kills

Take a sound bite

Makes you feel right

It's the best thing you can do

I don't know anything, I still don't wanna listen to you

Space-rocket, say Fuck It

This mother's gonna burn

Ain't gonna stop it

We just can't help it

It takes too long to learn

So I'll help myself and get a real special ticket

And then I'll do my shopping on the mooo000OOO000ooon

And if you're worried 'bout being left out

Oh, don't worry

You'll all be dead soon

It's a funny thing, people gathering together to try to feel safe

Different party members, different echo-chambers

But all the noises are the same

I'm sure you've got it all figured out, and you're proud to take a stand

But when the ones who can pay to fuck off go and do, you'll be left out of their plan

Space-rocket, say Fuck It

This mother's gonna burn

Ain't gonna stop it

We just can't help it

It takes too long to learn

So I'll help myself and get a real special ticket

And then I'll do my shopping on the mooo000OOO000ooon

And if you're worried 'bout being left out

Oh, don't worry

You'll all be dead soon

Break free like brand new, yeah

Break free like cocoon, yeah

Break free like brand new, yeah

Brand new, yeah

Cocoon, yeah

(Now hold your breath)

It's quite a handful, handful...
