I mean mean.
When I say unkind…
He’s out of his mind

Mad!

Mad!
(As in crazy.)
His chosen destiny

When I say mean…
I mean mean.
When I say unkind…
He’s out of his mind
Mad! (That’s too bad)
Mad! (Oh, so sad)

That boy’s gone nuts
(His brain went lame)
No “if’s, and’s, or but’s)
(Lame in the membrane)

[Verse 2]
Mad!
(As in angry.)
Mad!
(As in crazy.)
His chosen destiny

[Chorus]

I mean mean.
When I say unkind…

Mad! (That’s too bad)
Mad! (Oh, so sad)

No “if’s, and’s, or but’s)

(Ouch!)
Why do you enjoy inflicting pain…

All of us wondering… why? (Ouch!)

After all the strain to gain
Just self-inflicted, self-pity, n’ pain (Ouch!)
Bang your head against a wall
Then blame it on others… that’s some gall (Ouch!)

Posted on by admin

[Intro]
(Hey!)
Can you say
If it’s been lost in the foray?

[Verse 1]
It seemed like it was just today
For a moment, I looked away
Now, it’s getting hard to say
If it’s been lost in the foray

[Chorus]
Lost the love
(Looked below. Looked above.)
Somewhere along the line
(Lost the love. Lost the time)

[Bridge]
(Hey!)
Can you say
If it’s been lost in the foray?
(Hey!)
What do you say
Have we been lost in the foray?

[Verse 2]
What good are all your yesterdays
When you’ve lost your means… lost your ways
Now, day after day after day
It’s been lost in the foray

[Chorus]
Lost the love
(Looked below. Looked above.)
Somewhere along the line
(Lost the love. Lost the time)

[Bridge]
I’m cryin’, “Lost the love”
(Lost the love)
Love, love, love
(Hey!)
Can you say
If it’s been lost in the foray?
(Hey!)
What do you say
Have we been lost in the foray?

[Outro]
I’m cryin’, “Lost the love”
(Lost the love)
Love, love, love

Looks like it’s gonna be
(Much too startling)
Oh, no… it’s not quite right

All night fight!

[Verse 1]
Don’t know what I did
Certainly must have been something
I tell you I do not kid…
Must have been a dumb thing

You can hear her screamin’
(At the top of her lungs)
Surely, can’t be dreamin’
(Speaking in tongues)

[Verse 2]
What could I have done
To bring upon this wrath
This kinda war ain’t won
Everyone takes a bath

[Chorus]
You can hear her screamin’
(At the top of her lungs)
Surely, can’t be dreamin’
(Speaking in tongues)

[Intro]
Right hook, left jab
The experiment spilled
Out of the lab

[Verse 1]
Right jab, left hook
Not that different
Same look

[Chorus]
At it again
(Fisticuffs)
Where to begin
(Fisticuffs)

[Bridge]
Really not that tough
(Time to call their bluff)

[Verse 2]
Right hook, left jab
The experiment killed
Snatch and grab

Right jab, left hook
What’s the difference
The same crook

[Chorus]
At it again
(Fisticuffs)
Where to begin
(Fisticuffs)

[Bridge]
Really not that tough
(Time to call their bluff)

[Chorus]
At it again
(Fisticuffs)
Where to begin
(Fisticuffs)

[Outro]
Really not that tough

[Intro]
It’s a drop down
And drag out fight
All end in frowns
(Should’ve taken flight)

[Verse 1]
At an impasse
(A standstill if you will)
Ill will does amass
(Yet, we carry on still….)

[Chorus]
It’s a drop down
And drag out fight
Round after round
(Should’ve taken flight)

[Bridge]
Deadlock
(Jaw drop)
Take stock
(And stop)

[Verse 2]
Found our fate
(In as stalemate)
Should we call it a draw
(After all?)

[Chorus]
It’s a drop down
And drag out fight
Round after round
(Should’ve taken flight)

[Bridge]
Deadlock
(Jaw drop)
Take stock
(And stop)

[Chorus]
It’s a drop down
And drag out fight
Round after round
(Should’ve taken flight)

[Outro]
Deadlock
(Let’s stop?)

bookmark_borderThe Pride of Fools (A Dark Ballad of Temptation and Consequence)

Posted on by admin

[Intro]
Daunting
(Foreboding yet taunting)

[Verse 1]
Are you a chicken, no, you’re bold as steel,
The call of the forest, a forbidden ordeal.
A castle deep within, where shadows play,
The mythical Pocket Chicken takes its prey.

[Pre-Chorus]
Legends whispered, a grip of iron tight,
A kingdom of fear, shrouded in night.
The brave who wander, the lost who fall,
Answering pride’s foolish call.

[Chorus]
The pride of fools, it lures you in,
A dance of darkness where it all begins.
Sell your soul to the whispers deep,
And march with the herd, where the pigs do weep.

[Bridge]
The pride of fools
(Hard knocks’ schools)
March with the herd
(So absurd)

[Verse 2]
They beckon with chants, a klan’s cruel song,
Breaking the rights where the free belong.
The forest looms, its shadows grow,
A trail of lies where the foolish go.

[Pre-Chorus]
The castle waits, a sinister glow,
A throne of deceit, a place of woe.
The brave who enter never return,
Their pride consumed, their fates adjourned.

[Chorus]
The pride of fools, it lures you in,
A dance of darkness where it all begins.
Sell your soul to the whispers deep,
And march with the herd, where the pigs do weep.

[Bridge]
The Pocket Chicken rules with claw and beak,
(A false salvation for the proud and weak.)
They boast of freedom, but chains remain,
(Bound by lies in shadows’ domain.)

Daunting
(Foreboding and haunting)

[Chorus]
The pride of fools, it lures you in,
A dance of darkness where it all begins.
Sell your soul to the whispers deep,
And march with the herd, where the pigs do weep.

[Outro]
The forest whispers, the castle stands
(The pride of fools still claims its bands)
Will you step forth, or turn away?
(The price of pride is yours to pay)

Posted on by admin

[Intro]
What is that
(Did you taste it?)
Just don’t waste it

[Verse 1]
What is that
(Can you smell it?)
Can you spell it

[Chorus]
The mystery
As to destiny
Is… there is
No destiny
(Oh, say can you see?)

[Bridge]
Freewill
(Until)
You don’t foot the bill

[Verse 2]
What is that
(Did you touch it?)
How much of it

[Break]
What is that
(Did you see it?)
(Wouldya be it)

[Chorus]
The mystery
Of your destiny
Is… there is
No destiny
(Oh, say can you see?)

[Bridge]
Freewill
(Until)
You don’t foot the bill

[Outro]
And so it goes
(If one knows)
