lyrics

5) Activation-Sythesis

All in all, I be about yay tall,
from the tip top of my beenie,
to the bottom of my balls,
and I stand straight,
proportioned to my body weight,
so there are many pains that my ego can alleviate
but I still know what it’s like to hate, I can relate.

So listen Jon, it’s Okay.
There’ll be good days and bad days.
Positions for winners in the games that your life plays,
but the longer that she stays, and soaks up your sun rays,
the darker your pathways she seemingly betrays.
Let your heartstrings glaze, and with no delay,
I say we smoke ourselves silly and
we eat all the food.

I had a dream my wife’s alien baby looked a little bit like me
so I kept him and loved him, hovered above him, bandaged his wounded knee.
Telepathically, we communicated, all each other had
I called him “Jo Bob”. He called me a slob.
sometimes he called me Dad.

The chubby line between us and the stars, went on a diet when I moved to Mars
and now though our perspective’s much wider in scope, the ideas are far too large.
The chubby line between us and the moon, went on a diet when I moved to my room
and now though our perspective’s much wider in scope, the ideas are far too large.

The nightmare walking backwards through the bottom of my mind
Will always keep me sideways, walking backwards, until it finds me
And I don’t mind confusion when it’s served with a dish that’s oh so lonely.
Will you come take me away when my head starves so?

I’ve devised a plan to record all my dreams and
it would go pretty smoothly, were there not so many strands of crazy.
So, I’ll pick one or two, write them down for you,
So that you may understand, or at least which thoughts I stew.

If it’s a fact that sleeping images, Activation-Synthesis,
are formed into stories by a waking mind, then I’ll waste no more time
or speculate that theta waves turned alpha waves foretell my fate,
clean the plates, close my eyes before too late, and I wake feeling great
and we’ll smoke ourselves silly and eat all the food.

"BE BRAVE is the sort of band who make me reconsider throwing in the towel every time I listen to their inventive pop masterpiece ‘Take A Deep Breath’. There are few occasions when you hear a band for the first time and know implicitly that you are going to love everything that they do. This is one of those bands."
