LYRICS
Their eyes appears to be open
But, somehow I was hopin’
There’ld be a sign of life
Amidst all the strife
I mean what the heck
Is it dead above the neck
Who engineered this train wreck
Though their skin still feels warm
There’s still cause for alarm
For there’s no sign of life
Amidst all the strife
I mean what the heck
Is it dead above the neck
Who engineered this train wreck
No, there’s no longer a pulse
Time to call hearse
No, there’s no sign of life
They’re free of their strife
I mean what the heck
We’re all dead above the neck
Who engineered this train wreck

We’re having a helluva time

Building up some steam
Are you ready to hold steady

“This is what I bring:
This, that, and the other thing.”

LYRICS
Look at me now!
Look, Ma! No hands
Look at me now!
Can you hold my beer
Is there method to the madness
For I confess to knowing less
Look at me now!
Look, Ma! No hands
No “understands”
No one understand
Look at me now!
Can you hold my beer
Nevertheless
Is there method to the madness
For I confess to knowing less
No less
Is the Great Hope in blind faith
Or the broad scope of bitter taste?

LYRICS
Running late
Are we running too late
At any rate
If we’re running late
Why do we wait?
If we’re running late
Why do we wait?
The gears of time are cranking
To gods of youth no thanking
No time to ask why
We’re letting time pass by
Enough smelling the roses
And pausing for poses
All the while one supposes
We under appreciate late

LYRICS
Please don’t take it personally
Are you sure that you can see
Blind to the facts
with your personal attacks
Showing no mercy
A little too tall
Step on the small
All too often going wild
On the meek and mild
Please don’t take it personally
Are you sure that you can see
Blind to the facts
with your personal attacks
Showing no mercy
A little too daft
To get a grasp
Last will be first
As first goes last
Showing mercy

LYRICS
Into the sheer
Sliced into clear
Shaved the fear
Shed no tear
Into the sheer…
Beauty
Clarity
Longevity
Infinity
Less rarity in parity
More sheer
Parity party
Expanding prisms from the breaking glass pass
At the speed of light
Delight
Into sheer
