when the sun goes down
the ghouls emerge
from their disgusting private lives
hair and makeup put to the test
under hot lights
From the sky from the sky
it came from the sky
crashing to the earth and through the lives
there is a whole ecosystem where this stuff lives, feeding on its own shit and bile, consumed and expelling it once again in a chamber that echoes, we were warned by Eco...
Reactionary against any progress towards greater human decency, standing in defense of the cruel the powerful
and having the gall to call themselves outsiders
Plays well with the boys, drowning in irony
post hypocrisy, the real revolutionaries

what it all means
what it all means
historical memes
hysterical memes
Hysterical meandering
Time wasted scrambling
Avoid emotional philandering
Finding us all clamoring
Anchored deep in our own jabbering
Sarcasm it is smattering
Our true calling squandering
searching ways of emotional laundering
Aggrieved and lonely
Searching for the energy
its takes to find an enemy
Cant estimate entropy
Aggressive form of lethargy
Does funny things to memory
Picked apart so cleverly
Spoke about it generally
what it all means
what it all means
historical memes
hysterical memes..........

A regular fucking Diogenes over here
is what he’s thinking when he over hears
the performance of a contrarian critic
wants all to know that he’s a cynic
Cant get hurt if you don’t try
None of its true if you always lie
With the same brush it all gets tannish ed
we either starve or make more garbage

My thoughts and actions are all bleak
Its a tenuous technique
hear me when I speak
My views are terminally unique
Someone's gotta pay
for my shitty life
My thoughts and actions are all bleak
Its a tenuous technique
hear me when I speak
My views are terminally unique
Tuff guys standing over, intimidating vulnerable people when the opportunity arise. But still have their blood run cold in their veins when they find themselves in an area with significant number of those same vulnerable people alone.
Scared, stupid, sad
Someone's gotta pay
for my shitty life
My thoughts and actions are all bleak
Its a tenuous technique
hear me when I speak
My views are terminally unique

What brings you here? I mean, how did you get here?
to this point, specifically this position, what set of circumstances led
To standing on a ledge, in a monkey mask holding
derogatory signs
of a abuse and flailing violent powerlessness
At least that's the perception. did you have a bad time?
Did no one say no, and on the day that some one did
it blew your mind
To standing on a ledge, in a monkey mask holding
derogatory signs
of a abuse and flailing violent powerlessness
did you surround yourself with insecure
scared idiots, grasping for something to hold
on to in this raging river we're all riding
To standing on a ledge, in a monkey mask holding
derogatory signs
of a abuse and flailing violent powerlessness
Just going the motions
avoiding all emotions
except the angry and violent ones
pyrrhic victors never get the parade they deserve
To standing on a ledge, in a monkey mask holding
derogatory signs
of a abuse and flailing violent powerlessness

The best of times
the blurts of times
Passing primes
committing crimes
No one really asked
but we're all left aghast
the unrestrained bombast
from the elevated class
The best of times
the blurts of times
Passing time
committing crimes
No one really knew
as our view is left askew
buried in our nervous tissue
leaving no time for review
The best of times
the blurts of times
Passing primes
committing crimes
Is there any hope for it
for this thing born of shit
the gnawing feeling does not quit
the rising of my stomachs pit
The best of times
the blurts of times
Passing primes
committing crimes
supporting words escape me
as every atom seeks to flee
a world we refused to see
that snuck up on nobody

hardcore soft palette
not buying in to the zealots
Im making plans Im making plans
to never make mistakes again
Hasn't aged that well for you
like a regrettable, tiger king tattoo
or one with Jar Jar Binks
but he might be coming round again
i hear he might be coming around again
Hopped up on delayers and bravado
proving that I ain't no desperado
this is probably gonna kill you
but it'll be sooner then you want it to
Hasn't aged that well for you
like a regrettable, tiger king tattoo
or one with Jar Jar Binks
but he might be coming round again
i hear he might be coming around again
I'm trying to put in the work, but I'm not sure if its working at all
We all need each other and we all need to work together
that's fucking rich coming from a guy who hasn't interacted with any body in a supermarket for two and half years
Hasn't aged that well for you
like a regrettable, tiger king tattoo
or one with Jar Jar Binks
but he might be coming round again
i hear he might be coming around again
Dogs don't eat dogs, don't eat dogs
they don't respond to racist whistles either
I'm not putting down what you're picking up
This wont be the last receiver

Everyone is right
No one has got it wrong
hands full of urine
and vomiting up again
Everybody's telling me stories
don't come around here again
keep searching for old glories
never seemed that fun back then
unpleasant man
he's at it again
de contextualizing stories of abuse
standing as the victim never gets his dues
Everybody's telling me stories
don't come around here again
keep searching for old glories
never seemed that fun back then
you come back round here again
Yr looking at me like im
shouting you down
pointing out the wall that your heads beating
Everybody's telling me stories
don't come around here again
keep searching for old glories
never seemed that fun back then
What are the odds
Wiped out
never in my life
never again
Everybody's telling me stories
don't come around here again
keep searching for old glories
never seemed that fun back then
What are the odds
Wiped out
never in my life
never again

In the car park of the pokies place
the one whit extended trading hours
from 9am to 5am
don't seem like much but its a thing
that i think about when I consider
the way it seems the world gets sicker
I've had
enough now
just about all that i can take
I'm full to the brim
starting to seep out now
in the hotel suburban best western
looking at the industrial wastelands
fortified in my false fake fortitude
hording treasures no one will ever use
fortified in my false fake fortitude
hording treasures no one will ever use
hording treasures no one will ever use
I've had
enough now
just about all that i can take
I'm full to the brim
starting to seep out now
working days get longer
social events seem to drag forever
or at least my patience
appears to be shriveling, shrinking receding
my patience, not the only thing that might be receding
my patience, not the only thing that might be receding
I've had
enough now
just about all that i can take
up to here
starting to seep out now

I feel the wait of the world now
See I’m a little bit smarter then everyone else and a touch more sensitive, I feel the inconveniences a little more acutely then everyone else does .
I feel the wait of the world now
And it wouldn’t be totally inaccurate to say. I’ve got a pretty clear understanding. Of the way powers working in the shadows. Social control and indoctrination. I keep seeing it everywhere and its really upsetting to me…because of the afore mentioned sensitivity.
I feel the wait of the world now
What the fucks going on with the bass line of this song. Ripping off Andy Rouke smacked up, or maybe it was the drummer in that band. The singer a disappointing fascist
I feel the wait of the world now
how long do I need to be doing the same thing to getting the same results
And how many times do I have to run myself ragged for the same outcome and feel the world on top of me
I feel the wait of the world now
Apology it goes about off here…unravelling as the album comes to an end….
I feel the wait of the world now

Ze Wisenheimer Melbourne, Australia
Started by Zac as a bedroom psych krautrock project. In 2022 the project drew in Michelle and Nate and the trio inadvertently morphed Zac’s songs into an entirely new and formidable beast. Today, Ze Wisenheimer is a post punk band bringing conflicted noise with infectious beats, paranoiac repetition with hooks and melody, and stream-of-conscious rants with tongue-in-cheek puns. ... more
