Mister Rock

Stage lit to go, on comes the show
Remote right click, launch indie drone
Struts to a band simulation
A virtual sensation
Dialed accent sent by vocode
He's fake inside out, don't you know?
Mister Rock, hollow
Modeled human, branded logo
Drummer machine set the tempo
Electronic bass coded down low
Upgraded rhythm and soul
Plugged into a Space Echo
He's fake inside out, don't you know?
Mister Rock, hollow
Mylar veins, blood silicone
Mister Rock, hollow
Synthesized Johnny Idol
Processed to stay tuned
Axe by joystick, shred on control
Prototype a distorted tone
Keys to synth idol-ation
Ready, Rockit 2.0
Signals pass, wired stereo
Vocal software, update vibrato
Patchbay heart and emotion
Tweak the automation
Led to believe he's rock and roll
He's fake inside out, don't you know?
Mister Rock, hollow
Mylar veins, blood silicone
Mister Rock, hollow
Soulless eyes, mind all shallow
Mister Rock, hollow
He's fake inside out, don't you know?

The Loss of Feeling
04:18

The loss of fire
The loss of feeling lingering 'round
Tied up in wasted hours
Loss of feeling
Your fingers have nothing
Void of substance and meaning and presence of mind
And now, that you've lost yourself
In tunnels that wind through your head, will you make it out?
You've lost it
A cloud, leaves you staggered and reeling
The more you come down to escape it the less you know
In ice that floats on the Arctic
Frozen and weightless in white till they take you out
Take you out
A sight, still-captured, no motion
Dusted aside and cast off to another time
And now under our loss of power
Does any hand under the sun have a handle at all, at all?
We're hanging on

Out of the blue, nightwave
Black, white, shadowplay
Shine on, lost highway
With the tide, silverwake
Lifted light, nightshade
Flash bright, sparkle, fade
Clear view, lunar landscape
By a moving friend
Darkness will bend
Rayos de luna, mi amor
Rock, dust, nightray
Steel ship, castaway
Glowing array on a rolling wave
By a moving friend
Darkness will bend
Rayos de luna, mi amor

Monastical

I’m monastical, monastical forever after
See what I’m after
C’mon, see what I’m after
It’s an obstacle, obstacle, preternatural
Back in the past, though
Gonna go solo
I’m monastical forever after
C’mon, see what I’m after
See what I’m after
Close the door and stay inside for sure
Cut the cord and cast off from the shore
It’s not fanatical, fanatic ascetic days of old
When a complete home
Had just one phone
Stem the flow, then garbage to gold
Bring a new soul, and the gear to go
Write the outro
I’m monastical forever after
C’mon, see what I’m after
See what I’m after
Inside away tonight, I’ll sing the words
Press record, red light, and play the chords
Play the chords
