In the Beginning; There was Disaster!
Meteor Police
When disaster has your address
When the ocean's at your front door
When all your bridges lead to water
When all your sails can't catch the wind
What can you hope to do but swim for your life?
So take a deep breath

Incel King
Meteor Police
Do you want to build the perfect victim?
Let me tell you the steps
Start with some lust and confusion
Be sure to isolate
And when the hormones start to boil over
Let them know there's a cure
But the feminists have locked it all away
Isn't that a shame, isn't that a shame!
They built you to fail
So who are we to blame?
When your hook returns with nothing
Blame the water, drain the ocean
When the blind stab doesn't hit the mark
Blame the dark
Burn it all!
Watch the masculinity grow fragile (oh it's cracking, oh oh it's breaking)
Watch the rage propagate (oh it's growing, oh oh it's spreading out)
Tell them no one could ever love them
The natural order is breaking down
But they can be the hero that saves us!
Fill them with lies, fill them with lies
They built you to fail
So who are we to blame?
When your hook returns with nothing
Blame the water, drain the ocean
When the blind stab doesn't hit the mark
Blame the dark
Blame the woman
Blame the culture
Blame the world
I wish there was just one cause for all of this
A simple enemy to fight: an incel king
March him up the guillotine and cheer as his head falls down
Could it really be that simple?
No it can't
Your hatred is misdirection
Encouraged by myriad agendas
No one owes you their body
There is more than one way to live
You picked the wrong enemy
4:51
Odd Construct
Meteor Police
I am not a stranger you are just under a spell
Some dark alchemy that erased me from your past
While you remain burned into mine
Either that or I just didn't matter much
Oh curse these memories
That no one else kept but me
I wish they would just fade away
Yet they stay
We rode stolen bikes down unlit streets
Slept on floors
Gave into rage and lust
Argued selfish philosophy
We are constructed from stain glass recollections
Beautiful and easy to break
Oh curse these memories
That no one else kept but me
I wish they would just fade away
Yet they stay
Do you remember? (no we don't)
Do you want to? (no we don't)
Do you think about me now and then? (no we don't)
There's nothing left to say
And yet I keep talking
Sure, it's been over a decade and I never called
But I'm feeling old and detached and obsessed with the past
Can you confirm my existence please?
I know the lines been dead and I am talking to myself
I shouldn't blame you
But here I am doing exactly that
Because you dared to live your life without me
Why do I keep these keys?
When the doors no longer exist
Why don't I throw them out?
Would I miss their weight too much?
I don't know what to do
With all these pieces
That connect to nothing at all
A dead end puzzle
That I can never ever put away

We Killed Davy Crockett
Meteor Police
Out here in the desert
There is no concept of time
Out here in the desert
We are drowning in the sunshine
Out here in the desert
We are fighting for our freedom
But is that really true?
They are on the horizon
They are coming for me
They are on the horizon
Their guns shining
They are on the horizon
I wonder what they see?
Are we the bad guys here?
Everyone is a hero
When they die for a cause
But what that cause is
Well that isn't so cut and dry
The details don't matter
Too complex
The audience just wants to be entertained (Don't pay attention)
We killed Davy Crockett yeah
Oh I saw it all go down
We killed Davy Crockett yeah
I don't wanna be controversial
We wanted a legend not a man
They want us to believe in
Manifest destiny
That this is all part of the plan
We had to liberate that land
Tyranny
The cry goes far and wide (surrounded)
We killed Davy Crockett yeah
Oh I saw it all go down
We killed Davy Crockett yeah
I don't wanna be controversial
We wanted a legend not a man
Davy he led the charge and when they found his body
He was covered in the blood of his enemies
Or maybe he was captured
Shot off camera and
Buried in an unmarked grave
What version do you want to believe?
What story do you want to hear?
Please tell me
What do you want to believe?
Tell me
What do you want to hear? (I'll say the opposite)

I Don't Care About the Weather
Meteor Police
I don't care about the weather, Wake up every morning surprised
I have the privilege to know that no matter the squall my shoulders stay dry
Oh you don't feel the same?
I guess that when you don't have a roof
You have to watch out for rain lest your life wash away
I can't feel anything from the neck up, It's such a drag
I'm addicted to your suffering
So why are you complaining?
I can't feel anything from the neck up, I get so bored
I'm jealous of how damaged you are so I'm always rooting for you to fail
Russian roulette's no fun when all the chambers are blank
So please do me this small request
And press this against your head
Oh you don't feel the same?
I guess that when your
Life's at stake
The hammer falls
Are a lot more than empty thrills
I can't feel anything
From the neck up
It's such a drag
I'm addicted to your suffering
So why are you complaining?
I can't feel anything
From the neck up
I get so bored
I'm jealous of how damaged you are
So I'm always rooting for you to fail
I'm at the fence
Sneaking 'cross the yard
Fogging up the window
Watching you suffer
I'm there
Watching
Throbbing
I can't wait
To see you fail
Oh you don't feel the same?
Who would have guessed that
You wouldn't want your life and death
To be torture porn for me
I can't feel anything
From the neck up
It's such a drag
I'm addicted to your suffering
So why are you complaining?
I know that I could help ease all your burdens
But then who would be there for me
To stand on top of and make me feel like a king
I need you to be my throne
4:41
Nihilist Jazz
Meteor Police
I season my wounds to embitter the complexion
I wait for hours just to wait some more
If misery loves company
Then I'll always be at it's door
If misery loves company
Then I'll always have a place I belong
We can sit on the couch together
Stare at the blank screen
We can fall on the floor together
Untangle messages in the carpet
We can lay in the dirt together
Stare up at the starless sky
This world is so empty with you by my side
I chase my tail to produce value
I burn myself out when I need to rest
If everything is meaningless
That has a lot of meaning to me
If everything is meaningless
Then I can know that I'm free
She grabs my hand
Squeezes it so tight
Her grasp is ice cold
Holds me close
Whispers in my ear
The ship is going down, down, down
A sickle moon
Grinning as we sink
See you at the bottom!
I smile back
Wrapped in broken sails
Beneath the clawing waves I
Can feel her heart beat move through me
My every vein
Like a bell
Like a fire
Like a void that can never be filled
We can sit on the couch together
Stare at the blank screen
We can fall on the floor together
Untangle messages in the carpet
We can lay in the dirt together
Stare up at the starless sky
This world is so empty with you by my side
This world is so vacant with you by my side
This world is so desolate with you by my side
This world is so cruel with you by my side
This world is so beautiful with you by my side

Routine Miracles/Endless Thirst
Meteor Police
As the desert spreads
As the grid falls apart
The towers grow brighter by the day
She sits up there
A god in an unlocked cage
From her hands the waters flow
When they found her their parched throats
Shouted with joy
Now they rattle half-full cups impatiently
While she serves her role
She stares out the window
Watches the nothingness expand
And wonders
What if I never stopped pouring?
What if their cups overflowed?
In her dreams there's a river that carries them all to an endless sea
Watch the walls rise all around
There is no escape
And from her hands the waters flow
More than any cup could hold
It pours endlessly, endlessly
Before her dream rose over their heads
They caught a glimpse of that sea
And thought to themselves
I'll never be thirsty again
4:05
Vampire Squid
Meteor Police
Down here at these depths
Among the vampire squids
There is no movement
Oh it's bliss
Tucked into tides
Deep water blankets surround
Replacing embraces we lost or never had
Sometimes I think sleep is practice for death
And we are sleeping all of the time
I feel the waves (they're crashing)
Reverberating (inside my head)
Want it to stop (it never will)
I swear I sympathize
But I can't bring myself to lay down next to you
She didn't ask to
Be unable to see
The social cues she needed to thrive to survive
He didn't ask to
Be unable to write
The mountain of paperwork that
Proves he is alive
Oh it's so exhausting
All this forced convenience
Seems easier to stop moving
Feel the lovely stillness
I feel the waves (they're crashing)
Reverberating (inside my head)
Want it to stop (it never will)
I swear I sympathize
But I can't bring myself to lay down next to you
She didn't ask for
All those people to take
Things from her that can never be returned
No they can't
He didn't ask to
Be unable to hear
Anything but the same phrase
Out of every single crooked mouth
We just want to hurt you
We just want to see you in pain
We just want to hurt you
We just want to take everything that you have
We just want we just...who are we anyway?
I'm not here to hurt you
But I can't leave you alone
To sink into this sea of paranoia
4:29
Brick Thief
Meteor Police
I've got walls generations old
Ever expanding across the years
Where do the bricks come from?
Why is that relevant?
Straight from the kiln
I rent to desperate hands
That would burn themselves
So their kids could eat
And when those kids grow up
We'll pay them to do the same
Break it, buy it, diversify it
Crash it, sell it (Over and over again)
Different masters, Same game
Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat
We earned it
They say we are
T-H-I-E-V-E-S
That's your opinion
I've got contracts
Generations old
There's always a deal to be made
Whose blood did you use to sign?
That's a family secret
I work so hard
I'm a self-made man
Just like my Dad
And those before him
It's not easy to be
Given so much that want is just a game
Break it, buy it, diversify it
Crash it, sell it (Over and over again)
Different masters, Same game
Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat
We earned it
They say we are
T-H-I-E-V-E-S
These hands, so scarred
This will, so broken
Thank you for the scraps
It's always been like this
So who am I to complain?
I'll just keep on moving
Just keep moving the way I say
Until the end
Just keep digging down to your own grave
Sometimes I look down into that abyss
And I wonder why you don't just push me in
4:24
In the End There was Survival!
Meteor Police
She wanted to see how it would look
When the power lines all came down
She thought it would be so beautiful
If the only lights left were red and blue
And on that day she got her wish
Clinging to my roof as the water rolled in
I can't deny that in that chaos
I found some truth
The hungry generators cry all night
They want more, they always want more
But we don't have anything left to give so
Let's cling together and try to keep each other warm
The hungry generators cry all night
They want more, they always want more
But we don't have anything left to give so
Let's cling together and hope that it's enough to survive
It wasn't her fault
We were just in the way
She had places to be
Oh, what rotten luck
She wanted to know the secrets of the trees
So she tore their roots up for us all to see
And in that tangled mess of ancient earth
She found nothing but disappointment
No hidden truths, or symmetry
Nothing to inspire
Just the biggest trees with the crooked roots
Hogging everything for themselves
The hungry generators cry all night
They want more, they always want more
But we don't have anything left to give so
Let's cling together and try to keep each other warm
The hungry generators cry all night
They want more, they always want more
But we don't have anything left to give so
Let's cling together and hope that it's enough to survive
I think some day we will see her again
Another excuse to write blank checks
I think some day we will see her again
Another chance to prove ourselves
In the end I know we will survive
We will
