LYRICS
Let me in
Let me in
Won’t you let me in
… to your world
Afraid I’ll grow old
… and grow mold
Truth be told
And where there’s mold
There’s a fungus
Amongst us
Thus…
My fear of growing old

bookmark_borderOpen Wide

LYRICS
Open wide
Just try to relax
Close your eyes
As she slowly leans back
In search of relief
Backs-up her belief

Problem’s right here
Have no fear
Just a little pinch
Cure’s within an inch
In search of relief
Backs-up her belief

Too late to shout
Yanked right out
Dang! Oh, well…
It might start to swell
In search of relief
Backs-up her belief

LYRICS
When you look to the sky
Do ya look yourself in the eye
taking claim to the day
Look yourself in the I

And not see the world clearer

When I look out, eyes see free
I’s see free

Half past eleven
Going on midnight
Bringing on heaven
The devil’s delight
Sometimes I wonder aloud / out loud
Are we too, too proud?
(Till poof! But, a could)

Quarter of twelve
Going on midnight
The depths we’ll delve
The devil’s delight
Sometimes I wonder aloud / out loud
Are we too, too proud?
(Till poof! But, a could)

Going on midnight
Bringing on heaven
The devil’s delight
Sometimes I wonder aloud / out loud
Are we too, too proud?

LYRICS
We’ve been here before
Let’s go try next door
We’ll see what they’ve got
I mean… why? Why Not?

Rotten to the core
Let’s go try next door
We’ll see what they’ve got
I mean… why? Why Not?

Isn’t there more
Not more blood, guts, and gore
Let’s go try next door
We’ll see what they’ve got
I mean… why? Why Not?

LYRICS
I don’t know
Thought I knew what we’re going to do
I don’t know
If we have thought this through
Now, we’re an object in motion
Subject to our own friction

I don’t know
Thought I knew where we’re headed to
I don’t know
If we have thought this through
Now, we’re an object in motion
Subject to our own friction

I don’t know
Thought we knew forward from rearview
I don’t know
If we have thought this through
Now, we’re an object in motion
Subject to our own friction

LYRICS
How much more can you take
From a forked tongue snake
How much more make-believe
Can someone make
I ask you
In all seriousness
Point-of-view
From the eagle’s nest?

How much more can they fake
For goodness sake
Send us aid to relieve
Who could conceive
I ask you
In all seriousness
Point-of-view
From the eagle’s nest?

bookmark_borderWound Too Tight

LYRICS
Are you pitching the Earth is flat?
Do you believe in the Man In The Moon?
Are you bitching ’bout where we’re at
Too tight right is a raging loon
Wound too tight
Bound to fight
What the future holds
Their house of cards folds
Under the grumbles and mumbles (mumbles and grumbles)
The house of cards tumbles

Are you pitching conspiracy theory
Do you believe in the tooth fairy
All your bitching… I’m growing weary
If you’re making it by, it’s barely
Wound too tight
Bound to fight
What the future holds
Their house of cards folds
Under the grumbles and mumbles (mumbles and grumbles)
The house of cards tumbles

bookmark_borderHold My Beer

LYRICS
Hold my beer… will you, bloke?
Fear of fear
Now, I’ll choke
And, is our “society” also fleeting
No one gives a whim
Except for her or him
Only as it relates
To the state…
Of me (me,me,me)
The fallacy of “I’ll give my middle finger to society.”
