Carpet Burn 02:32
Carpet Burn So I heard you fucked up again You did it to him Took a ride and then you pulled yourself You fucked up. You’ve got bad intentions why you’re pissing on my lawn Carpet Burn all along Cause no one’s quite as honest like you Take these personal belongings as my excuse But don’t say So I heard you fucked up again You did it to her Took a ride on the crazy train You fuck You’ve got good intentions why you’re pissing on my car Cause I’m still in the bar Cause no one’s quite as honest like you Take these personal belongings as my excuse But don’t say I warned you, no I told you Go sleep on it No I know now what I should’ve known then You fuck up Yeah yeah she knows what I like I waited all day for the night The night The night You’re goddamn right Cause no one’s quite as honest like you Take these personal belongings as my excuse But don’t say I warned you, in fact I told you Go sleep on it No I know now what I should’ve known then You fuck up

Section 8 01:57
Down on the streets where I know nothing And they don't even know my name And that's OK cause I'm not like that So don't ask me anyway Down on the streets where I am hopeless And they don't even ask my age, age please let me in And that's OK cause I don't like them no So don't ask me anyway And if you think it's a misunderstanding And I should really get my head checked Then I will go and I will wait but I won't listen And if you think that I'm missing my heart Or that it's something on the inside Then I will go and you will know That I'm not joking. Down on the streets where I know nothing And they don't even know my name And that's OK cause I'm not like that So don't ask me anyway Down on the streets where I am hopeless And they don't even ask my age, age please let me in And that's OK cause I don't like them no So don't ask me anyway

Days Away 02:41
Days Away Tell me when my eyes are open I’m still hoping you’ll say forever So this is how you leave me now Never wanna come back down Today’s the day I change And the day you leave me here Please stay with me tonight I don’t care where I’m there for you If you wanted to I could take you there Never hear me say that life’s not fair Til I hate myself for everything When I curse the day that you met me So this is it so this is done Once again I’m the only one Can’t follow, mind bleeding Never thought I’d be misleading You today that day I change And the day I leave you here for you Please stay with me tonight I don’t care where I’ll make it good for you If you wanted to I could take you there Never hear me say that life’s not fair Til I hate myself for everything When I curse the day that you met me

Cause I know you well enough now and you know me for good Now come and get your shit Pseudo girlfriend can we still be friends? Is it cool if I fuck you every other weekend? I know I dropped the ball And looking back just makes me fall In love with you And I know we’ve had some good times And I know we’ve had some bad times too Come to think of it we probably had more bad than good And well shit man that bums me out Pseudo girlfriend can we still be friends?

Earthstronaut Last day so I gotta be useless Mileage you commandeer Too bad alright The biggest laugh on all frontiers Short excuse so I get to fly back home And I never bothered you I guess it just goes to show you Proof Grandiose I know how it’s gonna fall through the floor Pushed me off the edge you made me understand everything In my final days what a special day anyway Never looked back never looked back never looked (Your Bat Bomb this shit’s gonna explode Never a bad day I always look this good) In lieu of your absence I resolved To resituate, necessitate The notion that even if I knew what to do Don’t come back who would believe you Sweet Pappy Johnson No one remembers you As if they wanted to Yet Last day we created a monster The type that goes off on you To do what monsters do Best Grandiose I know how it’s gonna fall through the floor Pushed me off the edge you made me understand everything In my final days what a special day anyway Never looked back never looked back never looked (Your Bat Bomb this shit’s gonna explode Never a bad day I always look this good) In lieu of your absence I resolved To resituate, necessitate The notion that even if I knew what to do Don’t come back who would believe you Born of the fire that burned me down with the Bat Bombs exploding underground The blackout pacts with the freeform face So I lit the fuse and walked away Grandiose I know how it’s gonna fall through the floor Pushed me off the edge you made me understand everything In my final days what a special day anyway Never looked back never looked back never looked (Your Bat Bomb this shit’s gonna explode Never a bad day I always look this good) In lieu of your absence I resolved To resituate, necessitate The notion that even if I knew what to do Don’t come back who would believe you

Victory 02:40
Victory You take the low And I’ll go get high Search for the light That you lost in your life You’ve got no fighter in you You regret all that you choose You lost the moment you chose to fight it too I am Jack’s unforgiving son Look now I’m death from above But most of all I just Feel so badly for you Time, you will lose it all And you will find a friend Look now it’s empty for me again Time takes a break Before it takes us all We drift into the blue & black Ness of sound A little darker now I profess my will is shit But I’m having a ball I’m having blast Scratch that it’s the best time of my life And you got the guts to know that I’m sorry A little darker now Take it back to the start Where it turns to shit and falls apart Right from the start in your hands It’s empty for me again Pour me your thoughts in a dirty glass Don’t answer any question I won’t ask Like Rocket Ann whatchoo want from me? Is this where I’m meant to be? Is it east for you when I ask? Cause I’m having a ball, I’m having a blast Fuck that it’s the best time of my life And I the guts to know that I’m sorry -No bother now Take it back to the start Where it turns to shit and falls apart right form the start In your hands It’s empty for me again But I can’t help but love you

I am the absence of matter I’ve got my faithful illusions I lack ambivalence Subsistence through denial I’ve gotta access emotion And have the strength to carry through You’ve got significance Does this make you care? When it goes… On with out you don’t be the liar still I’ve been gone along time and way passed my primetime I’ve got the instincts to fight it And have the courage to see this through But without significance Unacknowledged deception Question the substance of matter And draw my fatal conclusions Am I benevolent? Omnipotent desire? When I have… No wants, nor needs, all events are foreseen I’ve been gone along time and way passed my primetime. Jenny knows my problems she rare;y has the courage to solve them but she goes any time you’re near let’s kick the dust off the axis or kick this into gear. I don’t believe. Fuck yeah. Validate my own conception of indifference categorized humancentric imperative nonmaleficence notions of civility gradually explain your curiosity. Planet carry your fears the earth it swings on her gears taking it’s power lapse the weight it falls on the back. Jenny and problems she rarely has the courage to solve them but she goes anytime your near let’s kick the earth off her axis or kick it… On with out you Don’t be the liar now I’ve been gone a long time and way passed my primetime Jenny comeback devise a planned counter attack I’ve been lost with action lived a life of distraction I’ve got the substance the matters.

Oceanographer I can lie away like the ocean I can lie straight to you I can stand as tall as the mountain Basking through me and you I can fall asleep like the ocean Nevermind our like hearts in motion Severed by the lack of emotions Inside you I can swing alone with the planets Laugh along as if you planned it Don’t be surprised when I land this Inside you. I can run as fast as the water I can sit pure and still A ship will sink to the bottom of the seafloor Motion for a life no more I can fall asleep like the ocean Nevermind our like hearts in motion Severed by the lack of emotions Inside you I can swing alone with the planets Laugh along as if you planned it Don’t be surprised when I land this Inside you. Tonight will do to well in you Burn away not in vein In time we’ll fade and burn away But I’ll be awake in the meantime Storms breathe in storms breathe out Lay your head without a doubt Storms breathe in storms breath out Breath in breathe out I can fall asleep like the ocean Nevermind our like hearts in motion Severed by the lack of emotions Inside you I can swing alone with the planets Laugh along as if you planned it Don’t be surprised when I land this Inside you. Tonight.

Boardwalk 02:52
Boardwalk There’s no passion in your song these days There’s nothing new you need to say With your heart so unentwined and your mind’s been doing time It’s no wonder that you’re cautious There’s no humor in your wit these days No subtle message that you stylishly convey With your tone so out of line there’s no meaning to your rhyme It’s no wonder that you’re home now And so I sing to myself I could be here if I’m nowhere else Putting ink on my wrists forever making these lists I should have had a beer and went & lied down If it falls on my mind again Don’t answer your heart if you don’t know mine It’s all that’s worth breaking that gets left inside If you’re taking your time it’s behind my back I wish for you this next heart attack There’s no passion in your songs these days Your eyes have watered and your soul is decayed With no heartbeat in your chest an empty gut that won’t digest It’s no wonder that you’re bored now And so I sing to myself When I could be there if I’m nowhere else If I had it all wrong I should’ve wrote you that song Now I’m content to merely sing along Slowly taking my breath away Don’t answer your heart if you don’t know mine It’s all that’s worth breaking that gets left inside If you’re taking your time it’s behind my back I wish for you this next heart attack Don’t say that you won’t we know that you will It’s all that’s worth drinking that goes down with pills If you’re still taking your time it’s behind my back I wish for you this fatal heart attack And that you never recover and you lose your mind Forever stuck in a slow rewind As your hair falls out with any friends that you’ve made You’ll get so skinny you’ll forget you’ll name Don’t be so sure there’s a cure for your cause you’re no fun when you’re sober Or in control You were my favorite one.

Soap Box 02:47
Soap Box I was hoping you would come along To knock me off of my soap box And how could that be wrong? Cause I would never I would never ask And I was hoping you would be by soon Cause I forgot to say or what I would do And now you’re holding birds Where I would never I would never Hold you hand or wait in line Or take the time to make you mine For you, slingshot I was folding on a pile of clothes You kicked me over a milk crate With the soap box pouring out All the empties, all the empties break With the light and the purple hues I got distracted by the light of the moon And now we’re only friends Where I would never I should never Hold you hand or wait in line Or take the time to make you mine Like a sewn up rag doll With arms that pull and part And the ripped up embers Drag us into the dark For you, slingshot. Hold your head up in a world that’s caught up Got the faith to leave it never superseded As your soap box songs move us along Knew you never meant it before we ever said it For you, my slingshot

Youth 02:28
Youth You remember before you and I? All that time we got just seemed to pass us by & by You know I never read the paper I could put it down Three is for the way these fires spread and put me out Although I Never saw it coming No I never found the truth Must’ve discarded it with my youth Never had a good time I should’ve been with you Guess now I got nothing left to lose You remember before there’s no much to say? All the little words crept up and got right in the way You know I never read that paper I could put it down Three is for the way this thing never got me off the ground Although I Never saw it coming You know I never read the truth Must’ve buried it with my youth Never had a good time I should’ve been with you Looks like I got nothing left to prove I never saw it coming And never found the truth Must’ve discarded it with my youth Never had a good time Should’ve been with you Looks like I got nothing left to lose Left to lose Left to lose

Recall 02:47
Recall Wait Don’t go You’ll see It gets worse with out You here I’ve been This down It’s a shame they don’t Recall The taste The Sound It goes on without you Had the lights with the yellow sound in it Pink & red both spun around a bit Sunken carriages marooned in the sand Held up the weight with both hands Had a dream that I was still alive I woke up in a strong but sober state Got cut when the bottle broke the line I am out of all time I

about

Oceanographer seems to be brandished as the most experimental of the Ninjas albums to date. Ranging from fast, melodic hardcore, to more abrasive punk rock anthems- metamorphosing into melodic ballads, acoustic songs, and instrumentals... Oceanographer's attention shifting miraculously seems to work to its advantage through its gnashing one-liners and mighty mixing and production treatment. By far, Oceanographer is the most eclectic packaging of Ninjas With Syringes material to be released by the band to date.
