Paradox Perspective

Hey there how you doing I'm just waiting for the world to end
Oh me too ain't life so cruel it all feels like a bad trip
Well I'm full of passion
And I feel I must be crashing down
[Incoherent rambling]
Hey
I feel it getting thick
Yeah
It's heavy in the trip
Tensions running higher than my last honey's expectations
Bring yourself together and tune to a new speed
Hey
I feel it getting thick
Yeah
It's heavy in the trip
We're all young ya know
Hey
I feel it getting thick
Yeah
It's heavy in the trip

Don't Wait Up
04:19
|
|

Well I heard you when you whispered when you said but didn't say
Everything that lies clandestine when you look into my face
And I might be paranoid but I'm never sleeping safely
From the possibility you're just playing pal to break me
Cause you're the one I never really could trust
Apathy exposed in friendship's fiery rust
It's like you're trying to steal
A piece of what I feel
But don't wait up
You can scratch my greasy skin but you'll never scratch my surface
You can find something to die for but you'll never find a purpose
And I'm sorry I'm so empty but you'd still be full of shit
If the nothingness within me even could help you forget
That there will come a time you'll finally realize
No one can adjust the hue in rosy eyes
It's like you're trying to steal
A piece of what I feel
But don't wait up
You just wanna suck me dry and chew me up
Spit me out and put me in the tablecloth
It's like you're trying to steal
A piece of what I feel

Goddess
09:19
|
|

And I kissed her leg
Tasted her dignity
I followed up and down her body
I prayed to my goddess: Send me home
I've been made so unctuous by this world
Clean me baby, scrub my soul
And she pinned my arms
And told me look inside
She sparked the sun inside of me
I already knew what I'd find
She uses pain to keep me awake
She calls me by ineffable names of only thousands we know
And she poured over me
The oils and water
She told me there's no need for shame
Told me half of pleasure is pain
She spat in my face
And wiped it away with her knuckles
She told me we're all
Just fucking chimps with religions
That we invent to make a home
Out of such a chaotic world
She told me that there's truth in desire
And never to stare too long at the sun
And I woke to find her gone
Dissipated in the light
She left in me
She set me free
I could sleep for a thousand years
But I've got such a long way to go

Cold Rainy Bitch
04:54
|
|
||
Mystery behind you lies
Gold and Stone in your heavy eyes
I think you're made of night
Cause in you I see stars
You tell me you like to touch yourself
Love your body like you're someone else
You tell me you don't need no one
You tell me to give it a try
What're we supposed to do except die?
And I said baby how can you begin to tell me that know my mind?
You told me honey you can kill a good trip with a vibe
And all I wanna know is will you break my heart or will you blow my mind?
And when the feeling kicks in
Our egos lost in the wind
I'll show you I
Could be your friend
I'll be your pen when you're writing
'Bout how you love to be free
So when I'm dirt in the ground
Will you rain on me?
The bar is cold and your house is warm
Hands are free and our minds are full

Nothing in the Way
05:16
|
|

Nothing in the way
All these words I could say
All these things I should do
Just because I fit the role, not cause I want to
If it wasn't for you
I could say it was me
But you're such a good excuse
Without you I'd be free- so terrifying
And face the cold wind
Living for and in my self
You said you'd call me but our phones were dead
How our expectations fall short
I got mean and mad and threw a fit
Because you're just an object in my head
I've heard that Hell is other people
I've heard the Truth will set you free
But what's the difference between the Truth and a Lie?
It's all just negation to me
What doesn't kill you might not make you stronger
But it will open hidden doors
You ought to open up your mind babe
You ought to open yourself up wide
And kill that empty rock n' roll illusion
Making roots in the hot spotlight
Don't tear yourself from the day
Cause come the night
There's nothing anyway

Serious Delirium
07:01
|
|
||
Pictures in frames with eyes that move
Watching everything you do
You know you made it that much is true
A testament to your attempt at truth
You're talking to yourself again
Trying to find yourself a friend in nothing
The picture with the eyes that move he's watching everything you do
He's watching like the Sun in the sky
Serious Delirium
What do your circumambulations reveal?
Around the Sun again year after year
Living in paranoia, guilt, and fear
What do your circumambulations reveal?
One of these days when the Sun goes down
You'll sober up and look around
And if you listen closely you'll hear the sound
Of everything you believe coming crashing down
Everything you hold divine is a pattern that your brain assigned a meaning
You think the world is a simple place your life is simple it correlates
You're dreaming that the stars will fall
Serious Delirium

Well I love you baby wanna love you while I still have time
I wanna love you baby wanna love you while I'm still alive
I'm in a metaphysical/phorical prison of cells
And all I think about is sex and killing myself
Wanna stick it in you baby want it stuck in me
Stab each other so sweet and tenderly
You're screaming in my ear I'm screaming in my mind
I'm screaming inside all the time
Most days I wish someone would cut me down
Or take me home and fuck me when the Sun goes down
But most of life is getting fucked and pushed around
And if you wanna see my smile I'll show you half of my fraction
But I'm incomplete and improper no satisfaction
Well I love you baby wanna love you while I still have time
I wanna love you baby wanna love you while I'm still alive
I'm in a metaphysical/phorical prison of cells
And all I think about is sex and killing myself
Screw my brains out
Bash my brains out
Suck my brains out
Blow my brains out
Spray myself all over you
Well I love you baby wanna love you while I still have time
I wanna love you baby wanna love you while I'm still alive
I'm in a metaphysical/phorical prison of cells
And all I think about is sex and fucking killing myself

Ego Death Rattle
04:21
|
|
||
First person singular
I'm axiomatic, ostensible
I'm radioactive babe
Decay to break from my nuclear mold
I'm breaking down but I'm breaking free
Evolution through atrophy
Persona segunda coloquial
Y'all getting stoned? Y'all getting high?
Jenseits von Gut und Böse
Y'all breakin' through to the other side?
It's all so clear at the apogee
Devenir mort pour voir la vie
Third person objective he's
Circumventing the circumspect
Objectively circumambulating
Every concept but himself
Tinnitus sonar in the emptiness
Ego Death Rattle speaks of self

Particles and Waves
02:50
|
|
||
Particles, waves yeah
Both a way you can jive
But where can you go, but to and fro
Beneath someone else's eyes
You think you're you, but you know it's not true
You're only fantasizing
It's all just the sum of hatred and love
Produced by social conditioning
You know your soul is just a lie
Because you don't wanna die
But where can you go, but to and fro
Beneath the Sun for a while
That might sound bleak, but listen to me
You don't know what you're missing
It's all just the sum of what you are
And all that you believe
|

I've seen the light
And not gone blind
Knowledge doesn't bring fear
It just takes time
To process your prejudice
Realize the meaningless
Purpose that we find in being alive
Take your time
Don't take shit
Figure out what purpose is
Understand
Meaninglessness
And nothingness are oceans to swim

Destoyer of Worlds
05:57
|
|

Lines on the arms of Krishna
Big lines beneath my chest
It's evidence
Of what I'll do to escape
Through Shiva's eye
And Kali's blade
We act as our own change
A crown of thorns
Pitiful throne
For one who seeks a soul to sire
See your body, lithe and soft
Ride that bottle home to hope
And hope that you'll wake up alive
Just to wake again to cope
Take some speed, kill some pain
You look so emaciated
Sleep like shit, wake again
Cap that dirty hair and hate it
Through Shiva's eye
And Kali's blade
We act as our own change
A crown of thorns
Pitiful throne
For one who seeks a soul to sire
See your body, what it costs
Ribs and scars and rotting teeth
Condensation turns to frost
As of surface, so beneath
Eat like shit, drink your weight
Paroxysmal portents sing
Take your time getting straight
Was the honey worth the sting?

Nihil Fit
10:14
|
|
||
It's whispering to your mind
In frequencies you can't hear
Two-way mirror vicarious eyes
The hate that comes from fear
Piss down the ladder cause it's what you deserve
You work so hard for your pain
Stuff your face until you cum or cry
Live to kill another day
A wire hanger suppuku
Cut off my face just to spite you
Self-love self-harm vicarious foe
Destroy myself in effigy
The hand that needs you feeds you like a bird
Poor people in your pies
Give what you get, you get fucked and paid
Dish the pain to mitigate the shame
Take what I want
Hold against you what I don't
So often sung
Its meaning lost on us all
Optimism sold like liquor to plebs
Souls smoked by hucksters in a pipe made of bones
Tell me lost hearts still bleed magnanimity
Deny what equidistant epochs have shown
Your world is made inside a slaughterhouse
Look in the mirror at the killer cow

The Danner Party is a psychedelic rock band from Tulsa, OK. Formed in 2011 making garage blues, the band shifted it's sound toward progressive rock, solidifying the shift with 2020's Ex Nihilo.
