Son, it seems you've spilt your paint on your face And now it seems you want to leave the human race Where did I go so very wrong? Your time is now; you'll be gone before long. Father, see, I'm still your son all the same I'm still your boy; a man, lost but tame My time is now, but wipe the sweat off your brow Yes, you can hate me now, but how? I'm still your son You still I love. Yes, it seems your head split open again Graphics cards, computer chips now in your shins The gods, they say your life's now in the devil's hands I understand, but change your ways soon if you can. Daddy's boy, why don't you keep your back in line? Don't know why you want to live back in time You used to love the way I leaned upon your chest I'm my own man, but it seems you now know best. I love what I do But I still love you too

Here we are Feels like we've been here before My lonely heart, the lowly shore At the wall you stare forever more Lay you down Does it make any sense to you? Does the world ever get through? Nothing said, nothing meant, nothing left to do Don't go alone Don't let her get to you She knows all the tricks you do Don't leave me here How the walls did fall Think of all the waves we saw Here it ends Here we make our last amends Is this really how time rends? Is this how it's going to end? Go on There's a hole in the basement floor Where it goes I've never been before Don't come crawling back through my door Don't go alone Don't let her get to you She knows all the tricks you do Don't leave me here How the walls did fall Think of all the waves we saw

One day in a cotton field Our bodies learning how to feel We go down the rabbit hole again Last time we went down town An angered crowd gathered round They managed to get it from our faces First time living on our own Big Daddy's good and gone Feels good to have the wind again We're just the good barber's sons We used to be so young Now they say we should die So says their king in the sky Three Sunday afternoons Ago we laid in swoon On a mattress dyed red and gold On a perched hill we sat Ten-Gallon new Cowboy hat Living hell up in the sky o'er Kenly Piano down at the bar Its music heard loud and far Wouldn't daddy just be so proud? We're just the good barber's sons We used to be so young Now they say we should die So says their king in the sky

Earthbound 03:37
Come and stay Come waste the hours away Be glad you're alive today And that it won't always be that way. It's not your fault; Gold bonds don't tear us apart And you never thought You wouldn't find what you sought. Picture frame Man, I feel your pain It won't ever be the same And you can't place the blame. You stare at the window sill You don't realize until You've lost the thrill That you're lost still. Don't listen to them They just want your skin Encased in thin Molten hot red tin. The sun doesn't go down; It's just our world spinnin' round And you're earthbound You'll never leave the ground. And now it's together But now it's falling apart And now it's falling apart. And now it's forever We'll never be here again I'll never see you again. Don't you see? Why don't you listen to me? You just have to get up on your feet And the world will be. Life will go on Our lights will still come on There's still the sun/son.

Time (Again) 04:28
Time has gone away Now I've no one but myself to blame The world in our eyes A world of fire would be just as nice Now as a man in hiding I know the blame, the shame, the games you play I know the places you will go will be High above the world You know the shadows of coming waves Time again... Time again... Line your eyes to the sea Prepare your sights and aim inwardly The world is our foe Hide your face and and hide from who you know Now that we're back and fighting You've aligned the stars to face inwards towards me I know the places we will go will be High above the world Here now I give you, proclaim it now Time again... Time again... Hide away Run lest your mind begin to sway High above the world Time again... Time again

Dreams 08:37
O, girl from outer space It's between us The magic space dust The wizard's life force They cry and mourn and hate The deaths of mothers And the deaths of fathers But not of brothers It's cold, I'd hesitate But now I need you And now we need you But now I want you Oh, boy across the lake Across the pond of time and space I hear you now, but here I ask you Why and how? A soiled book of history means Nothing but the world can see the Light to guide their ancient wayward Ways Indeed there exists a bond And now surely it's grown quite strong Don't hesitate: meet me up here above Cloud eight

The wind, the hair on your face Never thought I'd live to see the end of the Human race. I'm just a thirty-odd-old age American lesbian; let's begin At the end... You never liked that new future superstar Like they did. You bought his old guitar Four-track sequencer back in '43 Just so he could feed his new son He was old and he was poor... Nintendo 64 Cartridges line the basement floor But, no, I never said they were all yours Remember when we bought that painting at an auction And we ended up buying commissioned porn It was like a Georgia O'Keefe, except with animals and they were Fucking, I suppose... But That's not where that goes! They had switched our characters up... You were on bottom and I was on top We laughed and we laughed, but then you said you Thought it was kind of hot, but you didn't know when to Stop! It was funny 'til the twenty wallet-sized Copies you laid out across our floor You said you never wanted a kid But I said I did

MCHNE 03:24
Another day in the heartless work machine Another expendable hour, four for the price of three A world of pain and hurt I see from just your face Surely this ain't no Earth, no home of the human race Don't think too hard You might hurt yourself Don't think too hard You might hurt yourself Don't think too hard You might hurt yourself Don't think too hard! Now the deed is done you walk around in place I watch now as the fear grows gnarled up in your face The world's a playground, child, let your soul be free The pistons push and steam, it's best to just leave it be Don't think too hard You might hurt yourself Don't think too hard You might hurt yourself Don't think too hard You might hurt yourself Don't think too hard! [VOCODER] Now, that it's done, and all fall to the floor, the world Stops turning 'round and your brains all fall out... turn Around, to the fight, lead your fists to the fight... here we Stand for our lives in the dead of the night... Don't think too hard You might hurt yourself Don't think too hard You might hurt yourself Don't think too hard You might hurt yourself Don't think too hard You might hurt yourself Don't think too hard You might hurt yourself Don't think too hard You might hurt yourself Don't think too hard!

My Song 15 04:38
Why do you look at me that way? You know I have nothing for you today I've been there many times in my own shoes You know it's not what you say, it's who they choose Programmed for science inquiry Now just another labor machine Nothing new in society But it's still such a sad sight to see Laid out upon the spongecake floor Out towards the world you really do deplore A cup of soup, a bit of bread Crack the whip and bite the lead Man, machine, or faun, or flow? You're dripping oil out in the snow A low-hand quip, a drop of blood As if there's some god above The time has come, the jig is up, you're Lying on the floor It's such a sad sight seeing you this way, but I don't know what else to do Hurry, get back inside before they Call up their nasty lot Your weapon's down, your hopes have dried, so It seems you are giving up... Oh no... You're giving up You're giving up right now You're giving up You're giving up your fight

The Fall 05:30
The writing on the wall I don't remember it at all Come here, sweet faun You'll be gone before the dawn The physical oddities Never now bother me And my removed extremities Don't mean anything I never knew you at all I'd never seen you before the fall And no, it won't be long now Until the bombs fall on the South I never knew you'd be here with me Oh, why would I ever want to be Whatever I chose to believe Dysphoric misanthrope The dear old harbinger of hope It's such a slippery slope When two lovers can't elope Body, heart, mind, and soul True disconnectedness is the goal No, I won't let my soul be sold I'd rather live here in the cold I never knew you at all I'd never seen you before the fall And no, it won't be long now Until the bombs fall on the South I never knew you'd be here with me Oh, why would I ever want to be Whatever I chose to believe It's rather strange, don't you think? My swollen eyes begin to sink And in this state of apathy I feel my mind has been released Why? Why do I have to be here with you? Did my words never get through? Why can't I live as I choose?

There 05:12
I'm there Looking at the sky And I'm scared I left my friends to die And I'm gone From the old world of mine Don't worry 'bout me 'Cause I'm fine I - I'm in a better place Must've come from outer-space, I'm in a better place Must've come from outer-space... I'm in a better place Must've come from outer-space... I'm there Looking at the stars in the sky And I'm scared I never wanted my parents to cry And I'm gone From that old world that I loved Don't worry 'bout me 'Cause I'm fine I - I'm in a better place Must've come from outer-space, I'm in a better place Must've come from outer-space... I'm in a better place Must've come from outer-space... I'm there Is this what it feels to Be... Nothing, nothing, nothing at all? Is this what it feels to Be... Nothing, Nothing, nothing at all? Goodnight Sleep tight. Goodnight Sleep tight And I'll see you tonight

You and I We're not that different In my eyes You and I Programmed to fight Until the other dies Make your move Make sure you hit Within the groove Black and white The man in the High House He's why we fight

Hey there! My name's Lychee, and I'm an experimental Pop musician living in Polaris, Antarctica! I started Friends Without Faces years ago, but recently I met Sorrel - she's an ancient human musician who'd used the same alias in her time! Now we work together to make exciting, fresh music as the new Friends Without Faces! ... more
