Cold Open 03:16
Find your common sense then contemplate, A machine of lies to operate. Forever onto From black eyes. To starry sky. Leave all your temples and burn them down. The decay of time will put them out Forever onto From black eyes To starry sky Forever onto From deep ocean To cold open. I tied a knot I can't undo I spent my life explaining this to you I tied a knot I can't undo I think my time is long overdue. Find your common sense then contemplate, A machine of lies to operate.

In my room I decided long ago In my room I let the blood flow I get close you I see the other side of you. In my room I heard the money spent In my room I wonder where it went I get close to you I see the other side of you In my room I decided long ago In my room I let the blood flow

Escape 04:45
Follow me back in time When I took you for mine When it felt so brand new Running out that thin line Then we made our escape We created charades When it felt so brand new Burning beds that we made Staring into the fire Bleeding out all the lies When it felt so brand new Staring into our eyes La La La La La La

Words I need to say Look the other way I can never find You just never mind You walked away Never give me the time of day I am falling down I can’t hear a sound Find hard to speak Standing next to me You walked away Never give me the time of day You leave me here Never telling me about fear Words I need to say Look the other way Find hard to speak Standing next to me

Final Ending Perfection Conception Please don’t be late Take what is needed Try not to fall, away. I can’t relate End what you’ve seeded I shine bright today Feelings Distracted Perfection Deception Please don’t be late Take what is needed Try not to fall away I can’t relate End what you’ve seeded I shine bright today Final Ending Signal Complete

Transfixed 05:31
Joyously wasting my days Viciously killing my way It’s beautiful, like you Finally you will see Precious time fall away from me No more time Lost my way No more time Who’s to blame? Joyously I take flight Viciously I feel right It’s beautiful, like you Finally you will see Precious time fall away from me No more time Lost my way No more time Who’s to blame? It’s beautiful, like you So beautiful, like you

Out of sight Thrown aside Crashing down Come alive I know you too well I know you more than myself In the light Thrown aside Comes at dawn When it dies I know you too well I know you more than myself

And you... 04:14
I Pass this on to you Hope you never find out, What it means to be blue I won’t lie I can’t lie To you It’s your eyes And you face And you… I pass this on to you I’d like to you know that I’m only here because of you. I won’t lie I can’t lie To you It’s your eyes And your face And you… And I try And I’m nothing Without you It’s your eyes And your face And you… I pass this on to you I’d like to you know that I’m only here because of you.

EM_LEN San Diego, California

Embodying the spirit of doom laced dance floors inside dank and dark places, EM_LEN celebrates both the orgasms of synthesized waveforms and cult worship of the Walkman.
