Lyrics-
[Verse 1] 
This ain't no vacation - I'm gone 
This is my final hiatus 
I put the light in the dawn 
Just know I'm high when I say this 

With my attention to the sky 
I gotta question to ask 
When will I learn to fly 
Take off with my craft 

So what you made it to the top? 
It's a mountain of trash 
Was the sole purpose of your task 
to kill cheaply for cash 

Preaching so fast 
Scorching the parish to ash 
Never ready to die 
But I'm preparing to pass 

[Chorus] 
If I could clear my head 
That would be great 
Before I lose another thing 
I can't replace 

When I lost you 
I could not keep faith 
Couldn’t paint a portrait 
Of the look on your face 

[Verse 2] 
Please try to understand 
This is why we love you 
You placed our problems 
On your shoulders – raised us above you 

You must to stay awake 
I guess another buzz’ll do 
Now I’m in a state 
Where I don’t know who or what is true 

Media, mania 
Moneymaking 
Murdering druggists 
So slick it’s sick 
Synthetic sweetener 
In your burger king cup sips 

Eating’s a zeal 
But when they’ve cheapened the meal 
Deceiving the deal 
Well that’s not keepin’ it real 

Drama set in, purpose 
Promise breaking people 
Karma sweating nervous 
Honest shaking egos 
Hard-love wired circuits 
Conversatin’ peaceful 
Charred up fire verses 
Comet blazin’ heat, yo 
And energy can never be replaced in me, though 
Then when the walls came down 
There was a small change now – 
I grip it and rip it 
Yah bitches are skippin’ 
The risks of admittin’ 
All brain’s power 

I wish I could de-age 
For the rest of my days 
If only I told you before gone 
You are never replaced 

[Chorus] 

[Bridge] 
You dropped it off 
One day I’m gonna go get it 
I’m a dope fiend stoner 
You think I’m so pathetic 

Unconsciously care 
Never here or there 
I think you let it 
Get to your head 
Live with your heart 
Don’t be synthetic 

[Chorus] 

[Outro] 
The look on your face… 

Then when the walls came down 
There was a small change now 

You can never be replaced…

You Can Never Be Replaced

Lyrics-
[Intro] 
You're not gone you've just closed your eyes 
Peaceful trip to the other side 
Go to war with your own demise 
Batch... 

[Chorus x 8] 
It’s the power, the power of 
Batch – batch, batch, batch.. 

[Verse 1] 
Last year 
Sittin' in the back of a cruiser 
Wrists handcuffed 
Looking like a fuckin' loser 
Hit another car 
As a drunk drug user 
Made my choice not choosy 
But a chooser 

Now
Wishin' I could turn the key back 
In reverse 
Nearly finished 24 years 
Lying in a hearse 
Tell me what you think, Dyl 
Have I gone insane? 
Hard of hearing 
But explain it all the same 

Batch feels like crack – fact 
But it’s much cheaper 
I’d never smoke that shit without reefer 
A night without a light 
I’m gonna need a heat seeker 
Dark charcoals in the bottom of your beaker 
Are you happy that you started this 
Nah me neither 

Intrepid ‘til the end of the day we leave earth 
So fire up the bowl until it pops 
Plus my beer got the hops and I feel 
Like the fuckin’ grim REAPER 

[Chorus x8] 

[Verse 2] 
Well you better overcome 
When the feelings overdose 
The extraordinary rush can feel legit! 
You can take a trip 
But you've gotta give it back 
Uh just-a-like-a-rental-car 
From the dealership 

But Dyl I take my pills everyday! 
Can you name one long term effect of cocaine? 
And my doc pushin' drugs on a pill renegade 
Is there any way my brain will ever feel the same? 

Well, apocalypse now, hear me puttin' on the top hat 
Cuttin up Concerta, choppin' the coke up - you should stop that
There you go again, takin' sips of the boozie 
Lookin' at your eyes, see the life that you're losing 

Wonder if the glass pipe will ever leave your hand 
Go to war with addiction turn the boy into a man 
Never know which black thought will put you on a gurney 
Suddenly we're all in pain and you're no longer hurting! 

[Chorus x8] 

[Outro] 
Last year, 
That's when I lost my head 
Last year, 
Thought I was better off dead 
Last year, 
Forgot about the lives I led 
Right now, 
I'm just tryin' to catch my breath

The Power Of Batch

The first EP from Waterloo based electro-rap duo HALFWAY HUMAN.

Lyrics-
[Verse 1] 
Pushin' through the stars flyin' tryin' to touch saturn 
Attempting to take myself somewhere nothing on earth matters 
Speaking with the aliens illuminating patterns 
As they dissect every word of mine down to the last atom 

They say my brain contains windows inside a labyrinth 
Glass on the floor of my mind, some of them shattered an 
I cut my hands pickin' up the broken pieces 
Joker's show and tell can go to hell for many reasons 

Do you 
See the dead eyes looking at you through the portrait? 
At night I hear them move about, the creak of a door hinge 
Coming from dimensions that no soul should be born in 
They only came into this world to quietly mourn and 

Will only leave after otherworldly performance 
The girl sings melodies so alien and abhorrent 
The boy paints a scene of a dead rotting whore 
The girl stands with doll hands lookin' straight at the floor 

[Chorus] 
Here we go 
All alone 
On our own 
Through the cosmic gallows 

Have no fear 
I am here 
We just took 
The back roads 

Through the maze 
To a place 
Farther than you've travelled 
Illogical madness casts the darkest shadows 

[Verse 2] 
Rain pours from ground to sky 
Eternal drops reflecting 
Pain continues to pound my mind 
Concerning heart rejection 
I'm in the state of mind 
Where even compliments hurt 
So don't wish me best regards 
You'll only make it worse 

Abandoned care of it 
My mind's a derelict 
Fooled by the magic 
Hidden in the deepest shadows 

Lost in the madness 
Of my mind's factory of sadness 
I'm halting all production 
Till my only fear is nothing 

So I'll step out my oasis 
Upon entering your matrix 
Halfway Human radiates the airwaves 
Brain was blocked but then 

I burst down the barricades 
Take me to a place where I see no hatred 
Where my timelines clocked and my ego's painted 
Aren't we all a misrepresentation? 
Our own self image 
Maniac patient under broken surveillance 

[Chorus]

The Hands Resist Her

The first EP from Waterloo based electro-rap duo HALFWAY HUMAN.

Lyrics-
[Verse 1] 
Real life is stranger than fiction 
I'm feeling the friction 
Drinking, doing drugs 
While I'm fighting addiction 
Enlighten a Christian 
I'm writing religion 
And you can be the one who 

Changes my past 
Makes my future a present 
With a feeling that lasts 
Now I'm in heaven 
I have faith in my wrath 
Guarantee an ascension 
Elevate hell descendants 
To alternate dimensions 

[Chorus] 
I want another chance when I'm dead 
To live those lives that I've never led 
'Til we meet again no words will be said 
They're electric vibrations instead 

[Verse 2] 
Well I'm thinking you're the only one 
On this planet that's ever been divine 
Trust me your fine - it's all in your mind 
Crawl out the shrine 
When you feelin' like you're falling behind 
Lead by example 
You should never follow the blind 

No one can explain this world 
Sometimes the ways of life 
Somewhere between the pain and strife 
I hurl 
I'm very, very good 
At sensing when you're sad 
So try to smile baby 
Think of all the time we had 

[Chorus] 

[Verse 3] 
Everybody I know feels something is wrong 
With me, and the way I conduct myself 
I am never the one who stops to see the ghost 
When a book falls from the shelf 

If I ask really nice and quietly, 
Could you be the one 
Monitoring my sobriety 
I've fought lesser fights 
But it's another day 
As the sky goes dark 
I will light the way 

[Chorus]

Lives You Never Led

The first EP from Waterloo based electro-rap duo HALFWAY HUMAN.

Lyrics-
[Verse 1] 
Wake up wake up 
You're ‘bout to be left behind 
Journey with us on our expedition 
To the other side 
They say he who travels farther lies 
Only ready to leave when my father dies 

One way trip as the stars 
Pass us by 
Touch down on an old world 
Where I woke up to a new life 
On an oasis of the truest peace 
Astute beliefs 

Good mood freaks 
Zero bad habits of doomed deceit 
Eyes of gloomy grief 
No not blind to the truth we see 
A community of unusually beautifully 
Truly free mutant beasts 
Nothing familiar to human beings 

These monsters have taken over 
The global industry of lunacy 
To rule and greed, all about the cruelty 

But musically, got Rainman on the beat 
Absolutely grooves to move the feet 
Now hear me, killer expression released 
To skip to the future 
And always thinking they can cut short my time… 
You’re leaving me behind 

[Bridge] 
All the feelings amazing 
Why don't we just dance? 
All the lives worth savin' 
We should give 'em a chance 

Alien drugs enslave him 
But I’ll stay on my path 
Everyone gets taken 
I’m the life that's passed 

[Verse 2] 
Yo Dyl what happens 
When my heart breaks? 
What's the cure when my heart stops 
From extraordinary heartache? 

Expose yourself to the world 
Maybe they will find you 
Well Chris for the wellness 
Of your mind's view 

Seems you really need to 
Fuckin' let it' go 
Leave it all behind 
You are just a cosmic electrode 

But Dyl I miss my dad 
So damn much 
I'd give anything for another talk 
Another hug, another touch 

Wouldn't drink alcohol, 
Wouldn't smoke dope 
Feeling I'm the only one 
Who isn't laughing at the joke 

As I reach through the portal connection 
Steppin' right through the glass, mirrored dimension 
I can see you and I feel you're in heaven 
Still leaving behind every dream that I've dreamt in 
I know you are still God's greatest invention 
If you need a pick me up, I can be your ascension 

[Chorus] 
Why is it you 
Tell me nothing at all 
I had faith though misplaced 
That you were not involved 

You're leaving me behind 
You're leaving me behind 

[Verse 3] 
Do me a big favor 
Dial me an ambulance 
I'm mixing medications 
I don't feel that I can handle this 

How any people going through life 
Don't know they're alive? 
Between a rock and a hard place 
Tryin' to survive 

Well in the depths of my brain's deepest archive 
There's a place free of hate 
I'm the master 
Of my design 

I still think of her as she's burning out there 
Miss her sarcastic laughs 
Orgasmic gasps 
And her blonde hair 

Scream on key 
To be free, think you could release me? 
I would take off and fly 
Baby are we dreaming? 
Having a conversation 
With the popular guy 
At the top of the sky 
And the topics are wise 

Step toward the love 
When thy mind creates fear 
Remember all the drugs like 
Einstein and Shakespeare 
Inventions of writing 
Are the words that have become me 
You said that you would be 
The one to love me

Leaving Behind

The first EP from Waterloo based electro-rap duo HALFWAY HUMAN.

Lyrics-
[Chorus] 
Now you’re losing your mind 
So enjoy the feeling 
Time covered all the wounds 
But it didn’t heal them 

You’re not gone you’ve just 
Moved into my memory 
Float along the coast 
Until I reach the port of empathy 

Now I’m losing my mind 
I’ll enjoy the feeling 
Time covered all the wounds 
But it didn’t heal them 

I’m not dead I’ve just 
Moved into your memory 
Life is not a race but now 
The time has got the best of me 

(Time is the best of me) 

[Verse 1- Chris] 
If you’re losing your mind 
Well enjoy the feeling 
Time tended all the wounds 
But it’s bad at healing 

I’m not dead I’ve just 
Moved into your memory 
High as Christ, Holy Ghost 
Like Marc Emery 
I’m trying to find love 
In the world that I live in 
Bachelor degree 
In the art of heart stealing 

But there’s only hoe feelin’ 
And smoke breathin’ 
No one feels clean 
Water marks on the ceiling 
Enjoy the feeling 
Of losing your mind 
It was worth it 
It’s deserved I know 

You’ll see it in time 
Optometrist can’t you see 
No colours shine 
I think I’m blind 

[Chorus] 

[Verse 2- Dylan] 
I’m always wobblin’, yo 
With me nothin’ is certain 
I’m crackin’ cans alone 
2017, Sam Malone 
So cheers! Raise your beers 
To the good peers 
Lost over the years 

And I’m gon’ think about you ‘til I get you 
Drink a mouthful from the cesspool 
Don’t throw away the empties 
I keep those to collect dude 

I’m sorry how I drink and hide 
From the best of you 
I am sober now I think 
How could I ever disrespect you? 
Just couldn’t see me flat on my face 
Like the rest did 
I’ll plan your prison break 
If you ever get arrested 

I’m really starting 
Enjoy the feel of this dimension 
I’m numb when you’re around 
You remove all my tension 

[Chorus x2] 

Time has got the best of me

Enjoy The Feeling

The first EP from Waterloo based electro-rap duo HALFWAY HUMAN.

Lyrics-
[Intro] 
Well woo-whoops… 
Rat trap 
All day I’ve been 
Trying to catch a cat nap 

[Chorus x 2] 
Well I'm not concerned with your crap 
Between the bird and the rat 
There's a burr on the cat 

[Verse 1] 
I go berserk on the track 
Til' my circuits collapse 
As I weave through the traps 
I'm a wee little lad 

Finding cheese with a map 
I always nervously scat 
Because I'm scared of the cat 
Whenever sneaking a snack 

Now I don't know why they 
See me and gasp 
Throwing a shoe at 
My heart is beating so fast 
Catch me if you can 
Continue to chase 
I'll only have 
Another reason to laugh 
And it's knock out, no conservative jab 
Chris is mixin’ sick shit in the lab 
Dartin' back to the hole in the wall 
Smarter than humans I draw 
The blueprint of life is the art of knowing it all 

[Bridge] 
WellI I don't know what to do 
I'll just go with the groove 
As I'm hiding from you 

[Chorus x 2] 

[Bridge] 
There’s a burr 
There’s a burden attached 
I gave you trust 
And in a blur I was trapped 

How could I’ve known 
You’d have the nerve to do that 
I must admit 
It was the perfect attack 

[Verse 2] 
Never knew you were out there 
Always calling my name 
Finally somebody now cares 
May we feel this way the same 

Slices, crisis, mice live 
Running a rat race 
Life risking a game 
Of cat and mouse 
In the deep nooks 
Of the massive house 
Beyond the other side 
Of its dimensions 
Until the burr in the cat 
Is out 

If you could define the universe with one fact 
Conscious to the overall scene of the act 
Ultimately how you play out the ego's impact 
Is obsolete in the sense of positive contact 

[Chorus x2] 

[Outro] 
I’ll be dead when I’m free from your rat trap 
All day I’ve been tryna catch a cat nap

Burr On The Cat

This is a remix of Carnage The Executioner's song MTW Story.
Original song was created by Carnage The Executioner and Big Jess.
Lyrics- Carnage The Executioner- Halfway Human producer Chris Rainham was animated in 2017, upon first listening to the song on Carnage's Respect The Name Album dropped back in 2012. So he thought he could add some more colour and deepen the feel with a threatrical tragic ever changing piano keys that are simply complex yet incredibly emotional and match up with Carnage's story telling perfectly. Thank you for listening.

HH- You Don't Make Sense 
The Cruise 2020

you don’t make sense 
Lyric-

You don’t make sense 
Never save your dollar 
When today is dead 
I’ll be thinking ‘bout tomorrow 
—
Little close, little close to the edge 
Brittle ghost, brittle ghosts in my head 
Clear ya throat, here’s a toast to the dead 
As I’m buttering my bread 
Nowadays even with such a high— 
Standard of living, I still sputter to my dread,
Plummet through abyss, 
Rummage through regrets,  
Stuck in a cycle, so depressed —
Fuck I’m a psycho, always stressed—
Where did my life go? Am I next to leave 
So mentally unable to collect the whole amount 
Of who I was, before I chose ta bounce—
On a multi planet trampoline— 
Jumping so many worlds, I lost count 
Bring essential elements to those ya found 
Put the bad moments behind me, 
let some good ones amount 
Became amazing at staying in the now 
Here comes the energies of fear that goes around 
I don’t have a lot of courage— but I 
definitely ain’t cowardly dog
In the middle of no where, oh 
The things I do for love…
—
You don’t make sense 
Sending selfies of you cryin’ 
Call fast as I can 
You won’t pick up and you ain’t replyin’ 
So I’m callin' again 
You could be out there dyin’ 
Bet it’s all in my head 
Yo, you don’t make sense….


Tell me 
What sense is a flawless friendship 
When it’s awkward, tentative 
and ultra sensitive 
(You don’t make sense….)—

Calmly aggressive
massaging the tension 
someone safe to open up 
my vault of confessions 
(You don’t make sense….)—

Fear me as myself so 
I shell, all intensif-ied
Missing opportunities 
to live my best life 
( You Don’t Make Sense….)—

Yeah yo I’m so thankful 
For this shot at redemption 
The honourable mention 
that alternate dimension
