Soul besmirching witches form
A cluster at your feet
Bible thumping virgins say
Their prayers amidst the din
Information super highway
Lets you get away
You know their deepest secrets
You know their darkest thoughts
You know their bleakest sorrows
You know their weakest spots
Death defying surrogates
Prostrate before your throne
Empty eyed half imbeciles
Recite their hollow prose
Information super highway
Lets you get away
You know their deepest secrets
You know their darkest thoughts
You know their bleakest sorrows
You know their weakest spots

I deserve a bathroom break
I've been talking to a stranger
Who's not even here
I deserve a liquid lunch
I haven't had a drink in god knows
For how long
It's a fulfilling idea
Have I been clear?
Monorail
Is in my vein
I deserve an easy ride
I've been paying through the nose
For at least fifteen years
I deserve insanity
I deserve the full weight of
My indecisiveness
It's a fulfilling idea
Have I been clear?
Monorail
Is in my vein

It's always one or the other
Never both at the same time
The one either blocks the other
Or smothers it with blue light
It's like a laser fight with torches
Nobody gets blinded
But both parties feel somewhat stupid
Paradoxical circumstances
Something wicked this way dances
It's always one or the other
Even when they're at the same place
Follow one, lose the other
Torn between differing aspects
It's like a concubine with powers
Far beyond our comprehension
Nobody gets served
Everyone disappointed at the end
Paradoxical circumstances
Something wicked this way dances

Who among us can see well
And who among us is the one who hears
Who among us is the bard
And who among us is the one who fears
Benzedrine
I am now awake
My head hurts
But I am who I am
A sub-atomic particle
Dislodges itself
From your pre-frontal cortex
I am now awake
My head hurts
But I am who I am
Who among us can believe
And who among is is the conjurer
Who among us is the scribe
And who among us always keeps the beat
Benzedrine
I am now awake
My head hurts
But I am who I am
A sub-atomic particle
Dislodges itself
From your pre-frontal cortex
I am now awake
My head hurts
But I am who I am

Borderline
04:31
|
|

|
I think I need a place to stay
You wouldn't have it any other way
And that's a fact
Your disbelief is insincere
I know your mind's made up it's crystal clear
And that's a fact
Another moon
Another star
Another galaxy
Borderline - The sky's painted grey
Borderline - I don't hold any sway
Borderline - The sky's painted grey
I'm kicking up unholy dust
I know you think I might be going bust
And that's a fact
You're dragging heels but I don't care
You only think I don't know when you stare
And that's a fact
Another moon
Another star
Another galaxy
Borderline - The sky's painted grey
Borderline - I don't hold any sway
Borderline - The sky's painted grey
The sky is painted grey
And I don't think I hold any sway
The sky is painted grey
And distant lights go black far away

Myopia
04:29
|
|

|
Who am I
How am I doing
Is this love
That I'm feeling or
Misplaced fear
Fear of the unknown
All my life
Flashes before my eyes
A solipsistic view remains
Myopia
I'm about to go home
End this maddening sojourn
I look forward to being alone
Who am I
How did I get here
Is this life
That I'm crawling through
Feel displaced
Exiled from my mind
All my life
Flashes before my eyes
A solipsistic view remains
Myopia
I'm about to go home
End this maddening sojourn
I look forward to being alone

I am me - unknown to you
Unknown to all
I seek proof - unknown to all
Unknown to me
I don't know
You don't care
I can't tell
You can't steal
Unknown - against the grain I yield
You can't say when
You are truth - unknown to me
Unknown to all
You bleed pure - unknown to all
Unknown to you
I don't know
You don't care
I can't tell
You can't steal
Unknown - against the grain I yield
You can't say when

Pantomime Horse

You watch the final curtain drifting away
You watch it terminate it awe
'Cause not a single thing is going your way
You ought to leave
They will turn you into
A million little pieces
You're evolving into
A sadistic malingerer
Pantomime Horse
They know you better than you think that they do
There's not a thing they won't collect
More information, more information, please
You ought to steal
They will turn you into
A million little pieces
You're evolving into
A sadistic malingerer
Pantomime Horse

Long Ago
06:04
|
|

|
I've fallen up the stairs again
I didn't mean to end up here
I've slipped up through the cracks again
I never wanted any of this
Long ago I wondered
If this would come to pass
Long ago I wondered
Could this ever last
Long ago I wondered
Was it all in vain
Long ago I wondered
I'm hiding in myself again
I swore I would not do it this time
I'm trying to be someone else again
I always knew it would come to this
Long ago I wondered
If this would come to pass
Long ago I wondered
Could this ever last
Long ago I wondered
Was it all in vain
Long ago I wondered

Truth
03:19
|
|
||
|
I don't know what to think
I don't know how to feel
I don't know who I am
I don't think I can see
And that's the easy part
My brain is still offline
What do you care what other people think?
All I want is truth
For all
I stumble and I fall
I falter and I bleed
An avalanche of fear
Mistrust is my disease
And that's the hardest part
To reconnect and feel
All I want is truth
For all

You

I know exactly what I'm fighting for
It's not as if I don't know who to call
'Cause something awoke inside of me
I know to not expect anything good
My circumstances have hardly improved
But despite all of the things I've said
I don't want it to end
Assume the worst
All the things I want
All the things I need
Are mistakenly
Labelled incorrectly
Will it be alright
Will it be ok
You can't know
Do you know my name?
Never mind it's gone
In this game of charades
And vacant stares
I always knew you were another sheep
I knew it from the company you keep
They just rage and react
You need me more than I need you around
And you ain't ever gonna shut me down
So gobble up that golden spoon
And suck it
Assume the worst
All the things I want
All the things I need
Are mistakenly
Labelled incorrectly
Will it be alright
Will it be ok
You can't know

You II
05:30
|
|
||
|
I lay back and listen
To the sounds of the night
And the ringing in my ears
On a pillow of bones
My mind is set on you
Pinning me to the floor
You
Don't let me lose
Don't make me choose
I see through you
I do
I find truth where
I least would expect
Reaching from within
I may be wrong
But with conviction and aplomb
Guiding me to your arms
You
Don't let me lose
Don't make me choose
I see through you
I do

The Proposition
03:23
|
|

|
Proposition B from interstellar space
Caught the ears of gophers
At their annual rave
The vast antennae planted
In the desert soil
Failed to register the call
Let's get this show on the road
Are you ready to deal?
Get your sequins and spandex pants
Beg, borrow or steal
The rodent delegation
Failed to make the case
By rudely interrupting
A Chinese New Year's chase
The paper dragon caught fire
And dispersed the mob
The proposition was rejected
Let's get this show on the road
Are you ready to deal?
Get your sequins and spandex pants
Beg, borrow or steal

Leaving You
04:48
|
|
||
|
Coming through
I likened you
To someone I once knew
When everything
And everyone
Had gone
You distracted me
With you facile dreams
And I was too tired
To resist
Suddenly
It occurred to me
To leave
Though I'm leaving you I know
We will still need each other
(I never thought I'd be the one to leave
I never thought it would be me)
Though you're bleeding now
Your heart won't relent
It will grow stronger
(I never thought I'd be the one to leave
I never thought it would be me)
You tried your best
Gave it your all
And wound up
Underwhelmed
You kept on talking
But got no response
Merely words
Signifying nothing
My mind's adrift
I've seen the end of it
I've seen the future
And you're not in it
This is where
Our paths converged
All those many
Years ago
Though I'm leaving you I know
We will still need each other
(I never thought I'd be the one to leave
I never thought it would be me)
Though you're bleeding now
Your heart won't relent
It will grow stronger
(I never thought I'd be the one to leave
I never thought it would be me)

Abundance of beautiful melodies with the signature Vicario quirky and unconventional delivery. Vocal/guitar harmonies are gorgeous, beats are groovy as hell and synths are kind of restrained in “sometimes less is more” way and the album flows gracefully in the space between darkness and light. It is unique music that IMO will appeal to fans of Pink Floyd, David Bowie, NIN, Depeche Mode, The Cure and others from these astral planes :)

Bright and sparkling electronic pop, with constellations of synth surrounding earnest melodies.
