TheEliteExtremophile The Unforeseen is a fresh album with a broad spectrum of influences. Bits of electronica, disco, and folk are present. Ample synthesizers make everything feel lush and smooth, and they add a certain sonic continuity to an otherwise varied record.

I'm so sorry for whatever you lost But you know you can take a break For you are the reason When your head starts to shake Nothing else can cause you pain But the chemical imbalance Inside your brain Is everything just so wrong To complain all day long It's time for you to unwind Mr. Unsatisfied Why do you bother To involve me In your personal problems I could care less Nor would I ever Want to solve them Nothing else can cause you pain But the chemical imbalance Inside your brain Is everything just so wrong To complain all day long It's time for you to unwind Mr. Unsatisfied Do not raise your voice at me My hands are tied All I can say is sorry Mr. Unsatisfied you know You know you can't confide in me I don't really care All I can say is sorry Mr. Unsatisfied you are Unsatisfied you are Unsatisfied you are Unsatisfied you know Nothing else can cause you pain But the chemical imbalance Inside your brain If you want to fight I won't play your game I'm gonna live my life Why don't you do the same

Take It Easy 03:22
Just take it easy Life changes Quicker than you think Just take a moment To cherish what you still have Everything you used to do Seems like something You wish you could do Doesn't really matter If you fail or you succeed Tomorrow is another day Another chance so please Just take it easy Life changes Quicker than you think Just take a moment To cherish what you still have Just take it easy Life changes Quicker than you think Just take a moment To cherish what you still have Just take it easy Life changes Quicker than you think Just take a moment To cherish what you still have Just take it easy Life changes Quicker than you think Just take a moment To cherish what you still have...

It's a picture perfect picnic In a pleasant pasture Sharing food and drink Underneath the big blue sky We show feelings of delight For mother nature This place will live forever In our hopes and memories The trees are growing green Life in the forest Thriving unseen With the sun on our backs And the wind in our hair The trees are growing green Life in the forest Thriving unseen It's a dream to be alive And to find our way back It's a picture perfect picnic In a pleasant pasture Sharing food and drink Underneath the big blue sky We show feelings of delight For mother nature This place will live forever In our hopes and memories It's a picture perfect picnic In a pleasant pasture Sharing food and drink Underneath the big blue sky We show feelings of delight For mother nature This place will live forever In our hopes and memories Memories (x7) Oh oh oh yeah...

Infestation 03:22
I see them on the carpet I see them on my desk I see them in the bathroom I feel them on my face I see them on the carpet I see them on my desk I see them in the bathroom I feel them on my face Tiny little creatures Keep scurrying about the place Trying to find a new home Tiny little creatures Keep scurrying about the place But this is my home... They just keep coming back They just keep coming... They just keep coming back They just keep coming... They just keep coming back They just keep coming... They just keep coming back They just keep coming... I see them on the carpet I see them on my desk I see them in the bathroom I feel them on my face They just keep coming back They just keep coming... I see them on the carpet I see them on my desk I see them in the bathroom I feel them on my face They just keep coming back They just keep coming... I see them...

Bandwagon 03:52
I got nothing to believe in i got no personal goals Gonna jump on the bandwagon Sit back and watch what unfolds Just wanna be a winner Doesn't matter what for I need some recognition Get my foot in the door Get my foot in the door Get my foot in the door It's easy to be something else Than trying hard to be yourself Follow the trends and you'll be fine You got no worries When you got no mind It's easy to be something else Than trying hard to be yourself Follow the trends and you'll be fine You got no worries When you got no mind I got no one to relate with I just don't know what is cool Gonna jump on the bandwagon I won't be nobody's fool Can't afford to be a loser I must fit in with a crowd Even if I'm a poser baby I want you all to be proud I want you all to be proud I want you all to be proud It's easy to be something else Than trying hard to be yourself Follow the trends and you'll be fine You got no worries When you got no mind It's easy to be something else Than trying hard to be yourself Follow the trends and you'll be fine You got no worries When you got no mind It's easy to be something else Than trying hard to be yourself Follow the trends and you'll be fine You got no worries When you got no mind

You've shed your skin A new life begins You've moved your things You've gone away All that you knew Is just a memory Where you are now You'll never be again There's always a beginning There'll always be an end You miss your friends Familiar faces Like a web of love Your family lingers So very far away You must think of them It's what you've got to do It's whatchu got to do And grow stronger everyday It's whatchu got to do And grow stronger everyday Alright, oh yeah, alright... Where you are now You'll never be again There's always a beginning There'll always be an end Where you are now You'll never be again There's always a beginning There'll always be an end The ones you love Will live forever No matter where you go When you're feeling down Just remember Family lives within your heart It's whatchu got to do And grow stronger everyday It's whatchu got to do And grow stronger everyday Oh yeah It's whatchu got to do And grow stronger everyday It's whatchu got to do And grow stronger everyday...

It's too late No use complaining Just take the loss The world is changing Don't look back Just keep on moving What's done is done Just keep on moving Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here? We can't have summer Without a winter A wound can't heal If the problem lingers You really think You could've done it right? So all that you want Is still outta sight? Where do we go from here? Only you can change it now... Only you can change it now Oh yeah, alright... It's all in your hands Everything you need You know what you want So go out and get it Just believe and you Will succeed and you'll Find the Sun Shining down on you... Just let it go You didn't know Life moves on Now come along... Oh, it's time to move forward Forget all the sadness Don't ever look back Just live like you want to Let go of the worries Begin a new story Don't, don't ever look back There's nothing you could ever Change, to take back what You couldn't do Don't, don't ever look back I wanna hear your voice I wanna know your game I wanna grow with you Through space and time Don't, don't ever look back There's nothing you could ever Change, to take back what You couldn't do Don't, don't ever look back I wanna hear your voice I wanna know your game I wanna grow with you Through space and time Don't, don't ever look back... Just believe Just move on You're wasting time Let's get things done Don't look back...
