Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The funniest thing
Happened to me
On the way
It’s kind-a hard
To know
Where to begin
Felt like I fasted
For months and months
Wasn’t even sure
If I had a mouth
The funniest thing

The funniest thing
Happened to me
On the way
It’s kind-a hard
To know
Where to begin
Was smashed and twisted
For days on days
If it was to end
Didn’t know just when
The funniest thing

The funniest thing
Happened to me
On the way
It’s kind-a hard
To know
Where to begin
Must have been going
Near a year
There’s the end of the tunnel
Have no fear!
I’m outta here
I might… see the light
The funniest thing

LYRICS
Can you hear the rain
On the window
And did you know
It gets harder every day
In every way
When you say
In vain
Our shadow
Falls on the road
The storm keeps pounding
n’ rounding round the bend
The End
Out from
Under a dark cloud
Time to state our stance
Aloud
When you say
In vain
Our shadow
Falls on the road

LYRICS
The God of War
And just how far
The art of war
Are
The battlefield
Refuses to yield
Her shield
The message she’ll send
Warriors lose in the end
The End

Did the start of your heart
Ever take part
Your ego and id did
Did you know in your mind
The thought to be kind
Is insight hard to find
“Remind”
The battlefield
Refuses to yield
Her shield
The message she’ll send
Warriors die in the end
The End

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
An unimaginable heat wave
Coming to our age
Say it’s all the rage
Hear the critics rave
“It’s hot — heat wave!”
(It’s to die for… and so much more)
Heat wave

Man will bake his cake of earth
Curse the land of his birth
No way to behave
Heat wave… wave… bye-bye… don’t cry

Man demands it’s a must
We will all return to dust
Man commands The End of Days
Damn demand won’t change ways

Riff: e d b d b a g e e
Chords: Em / B G
Instrumentation: Vocals, Electric Guitar, Keyboards (Yamaha PSR740, Korg PS60, MicroKorg)

This song was inspired by the world’s largest life saving agencies (U.N. humanitarian aid agency OCHA and the International Federation of Red Cross) saying neither they nor humans can adapt to climate change in time. The lifeguards cannot save you — Extreme Heat: Uninhabitable Within Decades. “We don’t want to dramatize it, but clearly the data shows that it does lead towards a very bleak future,” said IFRC secretary-general Jagan Chapagain.

bookmark_borderAutonomy

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’m thinking destiny
Is no more than fantasy
Unless your dream
Is to tear at the seem/seam
Of autonomy
… of me
Do days fly by
While you deny
The question of why?
Giving way
To day-by-day
Forget to appreciate the stay?
Why I still
Try to rely
On my will
Free me!
Free me

Inevitably
Only involves The End
The ability to be
Between now and then
When?
Do days fly by
While you deny
The question of why?
Giving way
To day-by-day
Forget to appreciate the stay?
Why I still
Try to rely
On my will
Free me!
Free me

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
In your mind
Do the math
It will work out fine
Find the path
In your mind
It will work out fine
But a fraction of your time
For satisfaction of your “mine”
It will all add up
(In the end it will all add up)

In your mind
Do the math
It will work out fine
Find the path
In your mind
It will work out fine
To equate a fair rate
Subtract out fate
We’ll never give up
(In the end it will all add up)

In your mind
Do the math
It will work out fine
Find the path
In your mind
It will work out fine
Indivisible
We retain able
Until our time is up
(In the end it will all add up)

LYRICS
Spring, sprang, sprung
Spring’s come undone
In yet another bummer
Forget about the summer
Just around the bend
Drawing to it’s end

Spring, sprang, sprung
Better make amends
For the Fall
The time of all times
Is going down, down, down
Just around the bend
Drawing to it’s end

Spring, sprang, sprung
Another year older
Another grade higher
As seasons get colder
Watching time transpire
Just around the bend
Drawing to it’s end

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
With no hole in the end
It’s hard to pretend
There’s light in this tunnel
With no whole in The End
It’s hard to pretend
All’s right at our funeral
The further we all dig in deep
The farther our worst fears creep
The higher that we climb above
As dire’s calling for our love
Riding the wave of save

In a dimension of two
It’s hard to get through
To the bright side
In a dimension with you
Our shared point-of-view
Nowhere to hide
The further we all dig in deep
The farther our worst fears creep
The higher that we climb above
As dire’s calling for our love
Riding the wave of save

Moving outside the box
Changing all of the locks
Finding freedom
Freeing from the flocks
Changing all the clocks
Far less kingdom
The further we all dig in deep
The farther our worst fears creep
The higher that we climb above
As dire’s calling for our love
Riding the wave of save

LYRICS
Bottom’s on top
What did they say
Flipping won’t stop
It’s the new way
When I get to The End
Will I recognize the start
Feel as the wounds mend
With a complete change of heart

Bottom’s on top
What did they say
Flipping won’t stop
It’s the new way
As times get turbulent
Will sadist be jubilant
Foresee to be mercy
With the time their lent?

Bottom’s on top
What did they say
Flipping won’t stop
It’s the new way
Do I die and rise above
Or sink to the depths of hell
Become one with the rhythm of love
If it turns out well

LYRICS
I hope to carry on
… and on and on
Grab the rope and tow the line
’til we reach The End of time
Point-of-view from me, my, mine
To all is well when all is fine
The only thing for Man to fear
Is Man himself
while the only thing a man holds dear
Is his self-wealth

We cope and carry on
… and on and on
Grab the rope and tow the line
’til we reach The End of time
Point-of-view from me, my, mine
To all is well when all is fine
The only thing for Man to fear
Is Man himself
while the only thing a man holds dear
Is his self-wealth

The scope to carry on
… and on and on
No “nope” to carry on
… and on and on
Grab the rope and tow the line
’til we reach The End of time
Point-of-view from me, my, mine
To all is well when all is fine
The only thing for Man to fear
Is Man himself
while the only thing a man holds dear
Is his self-wealth

LYRICS
Can you see us lying
… lying on a golden bed
The tears we’re crying
Over joys left unsaid
Over the moon
There’s a shining star
Piper resumes
The tune to take us far

Is there use trying
To resurrect the dead
Night be for crying
If we prevent instead
Over the moon
There’s a shining star
Piper resumes
The tune to take us far

In line of sight
Sight of the light at The End
With all our might
Fight to let our message send
Over the moon
There’s a shining star
Piper resumes
The tune to take us far

LYRICS
I’m wishing for a wishing well
So, I could make a wish
Go so far as a shooting star
Even if I look foolish
To know a miracle
Perfect as a circle
An endless start
Around the heart

I’m wishing for a wishing well
So, I could make a wish
Go so far as a shooting star
Even if I look foolish
Because a miracle
Would be so special
The End of a heart
Is where it will start

I’m wishing for a wishing well
So, I could make a wish
Go so far as a shooting star
Even if I look foolish
Let’s grow a miracle
In a circle
Found what goes around
Comes around

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
At the start of it all
As I recall
You said it didn’t matter
Watching the situation
Growing fatter
Look far and wide
Nowhere to hide
The problem’s where we reside
Our hubris twists
Pounding of fists
The problem’s deep down inside

The middle of it all
As I recall
You said “it doesn’t matter”
Watching the situation
Growing fatter
Look far and wide
Nowhere to hide
The problem’s where we reside
Our hubris twists
Pounding of fists
The problem’s deep down inside

The end of The End
As I recall
“Does the fall really matter”
Watching the situation
Growing fatter
Look far and wide
Nowhere to hide
The problem’s where we reside
Our hubris twists
Pounding of fists
The problem’s deep down inside

Please hear me out

LYRICS
The stop at The End of the Drop
32 feet per second per second
Oh, to meet the levity of gravity
Standing on top looking down
What solace can be found
Come on… look around
(Round and round)
Over the edge on the ledge
What logic is found sound
Come on… look around
(Round and round)

The stop at The End of the Drop
32 feet per second per second
O2 to meet the levity of gravity
Standing on top looking down
What solace can be found
Come on… look around
(Round and round)
As time goes past, grasps can’t last
Will our panic confound
Come on… look around
(Round and round)

The stop at The End of the Drop
32 feet per second per second
Oh, to meet the levity of gravity
Standing on top looking down
What solace can be found
Come on… look around
(Round and round)
As time goes past, grasps can’t last
Will our panic compound
Come on… look around
(Round and round)
