lyrics

Do you see me show up ever so slowly onto your display screen,
captain theres a problem something that went previously unseen,
theres an unidentified object, in the water and its gaining speed,
quickly change your course, theres an unknown force you should heed

and it goes without saying, but ill say it anyway,
if you dont know whats around you then you may want to stay away,
but for the brave the very few, the some of you that will stay,
just know that what you join will bring about a brand new way,

a brand new way of thinkin,
a brand new way of sinkin,
a brand new way of changin,
what everyone else is thinkin

a brand new way of thinkin
a brand new way of sinkin,
just let me know and well get to work on this thing that weve been thinkin

a brand new way of thinkin,
a brand new way of sinkin,
a brand new way of changin,
what everyone else is thinkin

a brand new way of thinkin
a brand new way of sinkin,
im just a blip on your little radar
and it is a blip that has just started blinkin


sound the alarms
and sound em really loud
im comin through,
im comin for ya now
this is not a drill,
soon youll find out
im only here for you
now youre along for the ride, better buck up tight

sound the alarms
im comin through
i was just a blip,
but no that blip reads true

Yo a true blip is a new blip, blinking bright and making you slip,
youre wondering, questions on your lips, breaking walls and red tape ripped,
and often is they way of the red tape that they made,
its the barbed wire of the brain that i will cut with shears of the brave,

because the radar sweeps and blips will blink,
loudly on ya radar screen,
and soon the dot will be unseen, you see it’s meaning it represents me,
and ill try to kill my lack of free will, your bleeding mind and un-inked quill,
ill get you to write ill get you to fight you see, this is not a drill,

its just a brand new way of thinkin,
a brand new way of blinkin,
a brand new way to open your eyes,
and fly while they are sinkin,

its a brand new way of thinkin,
a brand new way at wits end;
i was just a blip on your little radar,
but the blip is alive, and lies are shrinkin
