Guest In Your Own Skin

You wear that skin suit
Like it defines you
Is that all that you are?
You see my flesh deep
Like it describes me
You think that’s who I am?
A switch would be nice
New found perspective
More than just empathy
Water poured into
Another vessel
Shape changing constantly
Kinda think the scenario is irrele(vant)
It only is ‘cause it’s always been
When it comes and it’s coming fast you’re gonna
Be a guest in your own skin

Things That Should Be

Set
(me free from the things that should be)
Me
(and the chains that I wear around me)
Free
(this slave to my own expectancies)
I always wanted to be somebody
Thought that I was ‘sposed to be somebody
How’s it I've come to be nobody
Two years of pent up anger, resentment, energy I need to get out
Set
(me free from the things that should be)
Me
(and the chains that I wear around me)
Free
(this slave to my own expectancies)
Can't drink it all away, it follows
Not a thing you can say, too hollow
Now, what I've come to be, your sorrow
Gonna break, gonna tear it into shreds, Take another swing, I’m gonna get up
Set
(me free from the things that should be)
Me
(and the chains that I wear around me)
Free
(this slave to my own expectancies)

Hide And Seek

Where are we?
What the hell is going on?
The dust has only just begun to form
Crop circles in the carpet
Sinking, feeling
Spin me around again
And rub my eyes
This can't be happening
When busy streets
A mess with people would stop to hold their heads heavy
Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines
All those years
They were here first
Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasure moments hung before
The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this
Still life
Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines
Blood and tears
They were here first
Mm, what'd you say?
Mm, that you only meant well
Well of course you did
Mm, what'd you say?
Mm, that it's all for the best
Of course it is
Mm, what'd you say?
Mm, that it's just what we need
You decided this
Mm, what'd you say?
Mm, what did he say?
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cutouts
Speak no feeling, no, I don't believe you
You don't care a bit, you don't care a bit
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cutouts
Speak no feeling, no, I don't believe you
You don't care a bit, you don't care a bit
No, no, you don't care a bit
No, no, you don't care a bit
No, no, you don't care a bit, no no
You don't care a bit
You don't care a bit

Cartoon character child
You are doomed to always stay the same age,
even as we grow and change
You will never mature, never grow old,
never even once have sex
What a pity
But how comforting

Well, you had me for a fool, didn’t you?
I could not explain what you put me through
Often blind is the heart to the truth
But seldom blamed is the head that refutes
I can see I was too good for you
I can see you were no good for me
I have seen that I am better off
I don’t care if you can see through the fog
Mmm, it’s pitiful, what you do
So insecure, you play at your game
All the while working to destroy
What you haven’t yet driven away
You can get you free, get you free
Despite of all that’s been said and done
Turn now from the dark and you’ll see
You’ve been yours all along, all along
I can see I was too good for you
I can see you were no good for me
I have seen that I am better off
I don’t care if you can see through the fog
You had me for a fool, well that’s true
But I got me free, got me wise, I came through
Stronger now, look at me, what I do
I own me now, recreated, I am new
I can see I was too good for you
I can see you were no good for me
I have seen that I am better off
I don’t care if you can see through the fog

Combinator Seattle, Washington
Combinator melds melodic progressive metal, synth-funk, soulful vocals, and glitchy breakbeat electronica into a dizzying, post-futurist dreamscape. Schizophrenic, yet born of an overall cohesive vision, the outfit is at once funky and ornate; the auditory distillation of one man - Sean Fairchild's - wildest melodic hallucinations. ... more
