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
2:06
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

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

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
