Sleeping in my bed tonight
Awakened by an awful fright
My neck is being bit off by a turtle
Confusion as the masses fall
Running for my life but all
Futility of living in despair
Descend down to the pit of the staircase
And step on butcher paper
I see my body hang in this place
And I wake up moments later
Being swooped down from the sky
A seeping death wafts from on high
Destruction comes floating in the air
Feeling that our doom is nigh
The darkest purple in the sky
It kinda sorta looks just like a yin-yang
One day I awoke, I was billowing smoke
Fire glowed, ash streaked the sky
Months of despair, wings stretched up high
And I flew away from you
I fly high to the top of the sky
And I tear through all the paper
Staring straight at the face of god
And I see she has a mustache
Sneaking into realms forsaken
Am I asleep or am I waking up
To seeing bodies hanging, bleeding
Wondering if I've gone too far
Ahead I see a door ajar
The light, it flickers answers I've been needing

Layman's Terms

I have the answers to it all
It's so complex yet it is so simple
I'll try to explain with simple words
In layman's terms
There is a world inside my mind
A universe with you and me inside
I think if you
I can only imagine that you also think of me
That's what it is in layman's terms
Though you are infinitely small
You are essential for the order of it all
If you think this life just wasn't built for you
Then make one for yourself and no one else
Though it may seem like a cartoon
A sense of humor keeps the universe in tune
Life is just a joke so learn to laugh with it
Ha ha ha ha
There is a world inside my mind
A universe with you and me inside
I think if you
I can only imagine that you also think of me
That's what it is in layman's terms
I'll code the universe from scratch
Then you'll apply your cosmic patch
We'll share with everyone, no one, and anyone
Let's make some apple pie from scratch
Bake a delicious, endless batch
Enough for everyone, no one, and anyone
There is a world inside my mind
A universe with you and me inside
I think if you
I can only imagine that you also think of me
That's what it is in layman's terms

Black Hole

I am wrapped in misery
Caught inside your gravity
Darkness absorbs all my light
Circling the drain in a useless fight
I won't go over event horizon
It'll all be over
But now I've wisened up
To your familiar ploy
Draw me close enough to destroy me
Blackhole that won't let go
And I'll die before she'll swallow me whole
And I'll scratch, scream, and claw my way out
Endure the pain to save my soul
You have sucked down any semblance
A validation for your existence
Force into your assistance
Just to take the path of least resistance
I won't go over event horizon
It'll all be over
But now I've wisened up
To your familiar ploy
Draw me close enough to destroy me
Blackhole that won't let go
And I'll die before she'll swallow me whole
And I'll scratch, scream, and claw my way out
Endure the pain to save my soul
And one day I'm gonna break free
I don't care how long it takes me
Escaping from her clutches
She destroys everything she touches
Blackhole that won't let go
And I'll die before she'll swallow me whole
And I'll scratch, scream, and claw my way out
Endure the pain to save my soul

Alfie's so creative, he's so creative
He likes to think, he thinks outside the box
He poops outside the box
I wish I was creative and intelligent, imaginative as he
I wish I was productive and beligerent, and intuitive as he

Tossing dice in my mind
(Wondering how they will land)
Will it come up from this side
(You don't have to understand)
I'm just hoping
Not expecting
The outcome of my desire
What is it I really want?
I will know when I feel the fire
(Are you one with cause and effect?)
The same dice shows two faces
(Tell us what is enlightenment)
I've got pocket aces
I'm just hoping
Not expecting
The outcome of my desire
What is it I even want?
I will know when I feel the fire

Trap
04:02

Love is a trap when you will see
How long it takes before I'm comfortably stuck
Some people think I'm an opportunity
To get a bargain fuckhole for them to be spoiled
I'm exhausted I can't give no more
Poured out my heart for your ego
And I'm all used up like a twenty dollar whore
Poured out my heart for your ego
With great power comes responsibility
And I'm not trusting anyone
To care for me anymore
If someone must have the upper hand, it's me
I'll keep my foot right out the door
Avoid the vulnerability

Just Let Me Die
05:30

I've lived a fuller life
I've had a dozen wives
I know my kids will thrive
I know my soul survives
I"ve dug a thousand holes
Know more you'll ever know
Why go through all this pain when
I know I'll live again
Just Let Me Die
Figures in the shadows
What's up ahead will follow
A creature in the dark
But now my life will start
To truly kill the pain
I've lived my life again
Although you see my lie
Down I'm up so let me die
Just Let Me Die
Just Let Me Die and see what is to be
Just leave me be and feel my soul to heal
Just Let Me Die

Don't we all seem to live our lives
At The Edge of Tolerance
I know you are going to give it your all
To achieve your accomplishments
This week I was constipated
And had bloody stools, oh no
But that's fine
At least I'm alive to play this game with you fools
Don't we all seem to live our lives
At The Edge of Tolerance
I know you are going to give it your all
To achieve your accomplishments

Lifeless puppets staring at me
Jarringly deflated people
Certain this is just a fabrication nothing more
I just can't believe that I am naked
Unprotected in my Closure
Overwhelming feeling
I've been here before
Recurring infinitely falling
Through the veil of my existence
Somehow I am certain that there's
No one here but me
Returning I have tripped and fallen
Puppets come alive again
This moment leaves me wondering when I'll
Wake up from this dream
My life wrapped Closure
I am lost in Closure

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
