up until the daylight but never feeling quite right till we’re strobed out and traced engulfed in blacklight sweating creatures overcome the need the greed the chemical intervention hypertension the noise we breathe gasp for air feel the dominance the power touch the turbulence now numb the ringing in the ear the sweet caresses of the fear bring it up and hold the light the vision now in sight we try to reach too high towards expulsion this desire now higher on fire close the eyes and dive right in disciples of the sin of flesh and light and noise and life screams with urgency as youth drips from these tired veins it stings this tool but no salvation for the fool straight into the headlights blinded only by the foresight knowing someday someway we all achieve the flatline feeling nothing truly matters now we all resort to random acts our superstructures are chipped away life limb original sin we make it up as we go along shout slogans from the day before while others fall from pure selfworth isn’t that what we were contacted for restless sleepless wandering we’ll abuse our senses till they scream bloodletting for redemption self contamination we reticule our fallen then kicking them while they’re fast asleep we cover eyes then we turn away while others start the cycle once again we feel the morning come wet flesh on this tired soul no redemption for the weak at heart no salvation for the fool no one has the time for sleep the body aches the muscles weak but headstrong not long minds collapse from memory leak just shove us to the edge again lift us up and hold our hands and lead us to the pit a kiss good bye as we jump right in the flame feed the burning love the lust it will hold you up and sweat until we’re going down into the brink of sanity turn it on and see the light the vision now in sight we try to reach too high towards expulsion this desire now higher on fire close the eyes and dive right in disciples of the sin of flesh and light and noise and life screams with urgency as youth drips from our tired veins it stings this tool but no salvation for the fool

I have three screens to choose from All night, all stations My video cassette recorder Has become my dream monitor Technology has caught up with me I am no longer a slave to reality No one tells me different thoughts Lest I pull the plug My remote control Does my thinking for me My remote control Runs my life My remote control Is my friend Music and images In perfect synchronicity At last the perfection Of human thought control Even this computer rhythms Are forcing me to conform But it is impossible To do freeform life control My remote control Does my thinking for me My remote control Runs my life My remote control Is my friend Buy, Quality, Consume, Reliability, Warranty, Purchase, Limited, Satisfaction. My remote control Does my thinking for me My remote control Runs my life My remote control Is my friend

Arecibo 05:28
With these headphones on I’m tuning in I’ll just wait here For you to begin But when I was ready You turned shy And you were not talking But neither was I So with these headphones on I’m tuning in Now that I’m listening Arecibo You’re not speaking Arecibo And then when you’re speaking Arecibo I won’t be there Arecibo I’m turning off This radio is down It’s far too late And you’re not around But now that I’m turning Off this thing You’re up there laughing Starting to sing But I’m turning off This radio is down Now that I’m listening Arecibo You’re not speaking Arecibo And then when you’re speaking Arecibo I won’t be there Arecibo

I’m the electronic consumer With my handheld novelty device Upgrade Install Crash Isn’t this so very nice? Verbessert für ihre ohren – better living through binary code Verbessert für ihr gehirn – better living through binary code Verbessert für ihre augen – better living through binary code Verbessert für ihre seele – better living through binary code I’m the electronic consumer Thinking I’ve bought this before Too slow Need speed Crash Isn’t this such a bore? Better versions for your ears – better living through binary code Better versions for your brain – better living through binary code Better versions for your eyes – better living through binary code Better versions for your soul – better living through binary code Besseres leben durch binären code There are those who would like to see our hard work divided. There are those who would like to watch as we crumble into oblivion. We will raise our voices now. We will stand strong as one and defend our innovation and technologies. We will not stand by and watch our efforts lower into silence. We will continue to expand. We will continue to extend and embrace. Our out stretching arms will still nurture and benefit those still not able and strong. We will continue our plans of innovation with good faith. We will further our preservations with good things ahead for your children. We will continue. We will be strong. With our innovation, THE BEST IS YET TO COME! I’m the electronic consumer With my handheld novelty device Upgrade Install Crash Isn’t this so very nice? Improved for your ears – better living through binary code Improved for your mind – better living through binary code Improved for your eyes – better living through binary code Improved for your soul – better living through binary code Improved for your children – better living through binary code Improved for your life – better living through binary code Improved for better posture – better living through binary code Improved for no reason – better living through binary code
