Lemonade 03:07
Sourly, you go into battle armed with a cup of lemonade. So grand with your stand, please allow me to admire your parade. Take a swig with me, come on and pour another glass with a little bit of sugar and a couple of ice cubes, and another more would be nice. have a little bit of lemon squeeze me a lemon You are tempting me, a sour way to blow my cash --I look into my wallet and my dollars are gone, gone ... into the summer abyss into a river of lemon juice and piss. (take a look at what you've made) I remember summer sun, swamp-ass indoors, cracked lips, and sandy tongue. A river of sweat that flowed through my pits, touching the fan with my pinky for fun, ... Take a swig with me, ...

Conjecture 03:54
empty spaces between two points and such converged traces intimately close yet do not touch oscillé, ... suprema infima empty faces although two bodies touch diverged complacence infinitely verbose yet do not much oscillé, ... suprema infima An essence of shadows and spirits are we, but drawing lines and limits makes sense to me. We're bounded by three, just you and me, baby, but all we can agree upon is incongruency Father Time, the geezer's dragging me down With the pendulum he's swinging around You said to me, "You're the only one for me, yeah" But all we can agree upon is incongruency, yeah oscillé, ... infinitesimally alone

Alien 02:38
People think I'm crazy And out of my mind Stranded in this point In space and time A lone pathetic weirdo Pitiful Quarantined within This fragile skull An alien you can tell From a strange world I fell Patched up inside this shell This home feels more like hell Constant paranoia Fills my veins Facing others is a puzzling Quite mind-boggling game You're all out to get me For being strange Maybe it is you Who is deranged An alien you can tell From a strange world I fell Patched up inside this shell This home feels more like hell You call me an anomaly Alien An outcast of society Alien Why are you afraid of the alien? You may think I'm crazy But so are you You're a lonely fucked up weirdo too An alien you can tell From a strange world I fell Patched up inside this shell This home feels more like hell You'll noticed pretty soon I'm just as strange as you So please accept the truth That you're an alien too

Long Distance Call on the phone today, she said she had something quite dear to say. A weight in her heart when she went away so she's sending some love here from Grandma She only intended warmth for me, but burned me when giving so selflessly. And that's why she's sending me rolls and tea, this time, with no pain from Grandma No need to apologize when I see only love in your eyes. And how could I ever resent when I've always held close the sentiment? Grandma, I'll always remember you. I miss you but know I'll be with you soon. And give my regards to Grandpa too. He's lucky to be with you, Grandma. He's loving this lovin' from Grandma

It's a Wonderful Day (hey) The sun is up, and I cannot stop laughing Just enjoying away Not alone with the grass and trees and (hey) Boodeh-meneh-meneh-meneh The sun is up a sky-a-blue, but so are you 'Cause when you learn to love, you learn to hate 'Cause—you know I love to love And I hate hate . . . ing you (hate hate) Although I do, yeah It's a beautiful night (alright) The moon is up and I'm monopolizing Not wasting an ounce of light Hum a catchy song of loving, everything is (alright) Boodeh-meneh-meneh-meneh The moon is up a sky-a-blue, but so are you 'Cause when you learn to love, you learn to hate But—you know I love to love And I hate hate . . . ing you (hate hate) Although I do, yeah Don't you know I love to love and I hate hate? So you better love my love before it gets too late. Boo-doo-doot-n-d-doo Doo-doot-doot-n-mnah

cold and dry a sewn eyebrow face deadpan smile strains my hands to forgive right now And you're just making it harder for me. slow deep breaths from your dead chest dark crossed eyes smile no more lies peaceful rest -And you're just making it harder for me. An essence of form and of light: I draw a line to try to make some sense of what's in my mind. That is why it's so frustrating, the picture just doesn't seem to end up the way I want it to be. And you're just making it harder for me. You had to ruin it for me. You're only bandaging me. That is why you lied to me. You should have just listened to me. You did what I would hate the most to happen. Did you ever care about me? You must feel what I feel. And you're just making it harder for me. That is why I long to be by your side. smile

Ancheggia come una bella cammina a testa alta sii' una maledetta viziosa ma sempre carina il mondo di scintillio, di brutalita' rompi il suo ego nella terra ti metti il tuo sguardo minaccioso (Ha!) ti vesti in abito da sera guarda tutte le donne belle non possono scappare solo una sara' la vincitrice tutto quello che vuoi essere ancheggia come una bella con gli occhi di una maledetta le labre sono soffici gli occhi sono pieni di malizia e fuocho, la pelle e luminoso io volevo essere la eleta invece sono diventata una donna perfida mi vesto in abito da sera io non voglio essere una delle donne perfide non sono la vincitrice voglio gridare le labre sono soffici gli occhi sono pieni di malizia e fuocho, la pelle e luminoso io non voglio essere una delle donne perfide non sono la vincitrice voglio gridare

Pool Party 04:25
Welcome to the biggest party you've seen, we've got things that you wouldn't believe ... just wait 'til you go down the LHC waterslide. Bring your sunscreen, glasses, bathing suit, bring your grandma, she'd love the bag of loot of fun stuff, mysteries, and surprises inside. DNA strands used as noodle swords, petri dishes are but boogie boards, but whirlpool centrifuges just might be your demise. Lab gloves make awesome water balloons, what we're doing here you'll see fairly soon, just try not to get too much chlorine in your eyes. Welcome to the biggest bash you've had, let's hope the neighbors don't get too mad ... though I heard Venusians aren't too kind. The sun's indeed a giant disco ball We're dancing off a waterfall The antics here are off the wall We're glad to know we knew you all We'll keep on going 'til there's nothing behind Bunsen burners grilling hot dogs, rolling logs and flipping pogs, earth slammed into ocean, wondering "Why?" Cities drowning as we get a tan, party-pooping geezers building dams, you will have so much fun before you die. Submerged underwater now, oceans upon oceans and nothing below. Trapped in, not a lot now, drowning your sorrows because there's nowhere to go.

about

Platypus Egg San Diego, California

Platypus Egg began back in 2008. United by their fascination with experimental music, they began to explore a way to make music that could bridge all their tastes. Their sound slowly morphed from jarring, and at times uncomfortable to a coherent, vulnerable voice. Fans usually say "You won't get it by just listening to one song. Once you hear 8 or 10, that's when it starts to make sense" ... more
