Drown the squid limb by limb

Gozu 03:23
Plug you in, charge you up, your dead battery I connect to you while you're sleeping I feel your spine, here you are, echo skeleton You divide but I'm not your maker She sighed as she realized There was a fault in the line that connects the extension chords Pull the plug, dressed to kill, you know words and I know guilt Feel the eyes watching as your dreaming And you awake, find me there, same as always you don’t care Make a mess and go back to sleeping The road was old, the road was cold It forked many times, many miles ago The interchange and interstates of our being saturate the pavement stains that lie in wait They know we've seen our better days The gasoline beneath our feet awaits the spark of our humanity The road was old, the road was cold It forked many times, many miles ago Pull the plug, dressed to kill, you know words, I know guilt Terrorized by your plan for revenge Pull the plug, dressed to kill, you know words, I know guilt Terrorized by my own invention

Crisis 02:31
Another day of infinite drag the time seems to lag it's catching up Right now we're somewhere somehow emitting no sound and freaking out We're in crisis and we like it Another day and it's still the same The future has been delayed Seem stuck in an endless phase Mind has already been erased We're in crisis and we like it I got a song I'd sing you but I won't you only hear when I'm singing the wrong notes You Say You Like When We Don’t Try Another day of infinite drag the time seems to lag it's catching up You Say You Like To win The fight Right now we're somewhere somehow emitting no sound and freaking out

Lunge 02:47
You heard my answer Intense with certainty It brought forth anger You paused and lunged at me Brains in blindness Have no need for eyes Crazy ideas Hold that thought in mind I respond quickly And catch you off your guard I made my mind up To stress your weaker parts Brains, brains that are blind Have no need for us

Kilowatt 02:42
I'm singing a song with extension chords And thinking about it so take it slow To where I began, I've gone too far Feeling strong but now I'm out of phase In these conditions there are ways of never leaving The fever was so strong but gone astray I'm taking you back but you're never gonna change Take what you want and honestly what you thought Changed my mind and all this time I was in the dark Take what you need from me while I'm here I don't need anything to bring you down cause I'm not ready to fall In these conditions there are ways of never leaving I can't seem to find my way through your reasons

Lillian 05:30
Frozen frame of your life Stare at it for a time It moved, must have been something that I forgot you did Your life can illustrate and form to your display Frozen frame, you're insane Formed a line is it straight A formed life isn't strange Look, your face in the past Its cracked, broken glass You have little, little left to lend so give it up

Thorax 01:50

The Ghost 03:17
Can not resist Look at new ways to find it Be sure you don't Copy any old line Means that it's gone Fade into dark There's reasons it's wrong Can't think straight Had an Idea Use what ever you find here Repeat and replay Steal it from your own kind

Sophia 04:19
Wait for the violence to start Wait for the violence to come It spreads it's fire across the earth It seems that way to me Show me the gore and the blood The flames and the flood The smokey plumes The dead stars that fall from the sky From six till nine Those hentai eyes All the dead stars fall from the sky Please stay with me tonight I loved you first Before anyone I hear your words They addict me to the wrath Show me the gore and the blood The flame's and the flood The smokey plumes The dead stars that fall from the sky
10.
Wallace 04:06
I need some money So i can sleep tonight The milk and honey Of candlelight Is this really my life Are you really my friend Nothing is black and white Is this really the end Wallace can touch the sun He thinks that he can find A clue or a smoking gun To shift his frame of mind It's easier said then done The glare will leave him blind Dead when the stars align My needs accompany A gentlemans pride I'm a quick study On borrowed time He thinks the he can find The glare will leave him blind
11.
Verb 03:15
I want to see your face I want you to know i found out You had a good disguise Saw it in your eyes I found out I want to say what has not been said but i can't cause you're alive I want to burn what you haven't read that's okay cause you're alive

Doom. The space expands Faster than we can hold All that we control The stress demands More then we can stand All our fears in tow React. Such a cold reaction to the thing that you love We had something good Waves of fire come back and scorch the setting sun Just a chord reaction turn your back on your love I will follow suit Lapping flame burns skin and boils up the blood All the time when you turn on your love Waves of fire come back and scorch the setting sun Till the time you should feel overcome Lapping flame burns spine, a chord reaction Destroy. We hang ourselves from extension chords Hovering inches from deaths door Gravity weighs us down Down with our fears in tow The space explodes Fears in tow We've lost control

about

Thinking Machines will release their new album Extension Chords this winter. They have spent the past 2 years working tirelessly on the record and have expanded on the 2 guitar attack heard on their previous record Work Tapes. Extension Chords is a return to form so to speak as it bridges the gap between the expansive space rock of their first album Dream in Lo Fi and the post punk new wave of A Complete Record of Urban Archaeology. Fans of those earlier records should be pleasantly surprised by the space-metal prog-punk psychedelia found here. This will be one of your favorite records of the year.
