Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do you find it a little bizarre
Traveled too far from are
Is was the were
Past becomes a blur
Trying to make sense of the tense

Till will stands still
When turns to been
Is was the were
Past becomes a blur
Trying to make sense of the tense

Should of would could
Then can done did
Is was the were
Past becomes a blur
Trying to make sense of the tense

Glad to have had
The tune of soon
Is was the were
Past becomes a blur
Trying to make sense of the tense

Think that thank thunk
Can I think again
Is was the were
Past becomes a blur
Trying to make sense of the tense

LYRICS
I went down to the West Chester Infirmary
Just to see…
Just to see what I could see
No, Doc, you know
I’m not ready to go
Just want to see…
Just want to see what’s wrong with me

I went down to the West Chester Infirmary
Just to see…
Just to see what I could see
Doc, am I alone
Fearing the moan
The woah and groan
Arghhhh I just want to go home

I went down to the West Chester Infirmary
Just to see…
Just to see what I could see
No, Doc, the pain
Suffering’s insane
Hope I’ll remain…
Hope I’ll remain to live again (a gain)

LYRICS
Hot in the moment
Heat up the minute
Ignition by friction
And then some
Parts adding up to more than the sum
Look out, Baby
Here we come
Look out, maybe
Overcome
Thrive on overdrive
Steer clear of mere
Add up to more than some
Add up to more than sum

LYRICS
I started my day
In the usual way
Lord, don’t let me stray
Got to bring home the pay
When much to my surprise
Right before my eyes
Was gold, frankincense and more myrrh
For sure, treasure
Meant for a king
Oh how i loved what the day did bring
Now, you can listen to my heart sing

I sing praise mother nature
For this treasure
Now, I’ve to the power
So I can endure
Concede you give me more
Than I ever need
Now, I plead
For the hearts that bleed
For sure, treasure
Meant for a king
Oh how i loved what the day did bring
Now, you can listen to my heart sing

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What exactly do you mean
That you ate hate
And threw away the lean?
It’s always been the fact
On his throne, the pig’s fat
The fascists’ zone
Disregard the marred

The devil is in the details?
If you’re talking entrails
Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails
It’s always been the fact
On his throne, the pig’s fat
The fascists’ zone
Disregard the marred
He’ll make you squeam and squirm
Slurping on a worm
Cold hearted death departed

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
My mama said
To get things done
Just forget about #1

Don’t look over your shoulder
Take the leap of being bolder

Once You’re out in the lead
Don’t look back and concede

Once you get all into hubris
That’s when you find nemesis

Follow your passion. Follow your dream
To the top you’ll rise like cream

In the morning, jump out of bed
Follow those dreams while they’re still in your head

LYRICS
You knew it coudln’t last
Living in the past
The light’s turned green
Moving on our scene
Did you miss the starting gun
Are you even trying to run
There’s no shame
In winning the game

You knew it wouldn’t last
Living in the past
The floodgates are open
Flowing past “still copin'”
Did you miss the starting gun
Are you even trying to run
There’s no shame
In winning the game
Even coming in 2nd place
Makes it worth running the race

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What am I going to do
When there’s nothing left for you
Nothing left to chew
Left within our view
Will we come unglued?
Unhinged cannibal binge

What am I going to do
When there’s nothing left for you
Nothing in our stew
Not and ounce of brew
Will we come unglued?
Unhinged lunatic fringe

What am I going to do
When there’s nothing left for you
No substitute nor “in lieu”
Nothing does ring true
Unhinged morbid cringe
Unhinged cannibal binge

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I am; therefore,
I am
There’s no sense fighting
Life is fleeting
So before completing
I’m in time

I can’t fight
Inanimate objects
No matter how much one objects
I see the light

I can’t fight
A system
Especially one I’m in
I see the light

I can’t fight
Chaos theory
Starting to see
More clearly
May I see the light
I see
I can’t fight gravity
Fighting friction is pure fiction
I can’t fight
I see the light

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Careful of the floors
Hidden trap doors
Leading to secret corridors
Avoiding the horrors
BY testing the lures
Keep searching for more
Eventually can’t ignore
As the knowledge pours
Elixirs and cures
Freedom roars
Spirit soars
On the tours of trap doors
Voyeurs of wars and czars
Trapped beneath the floors
Under hidden doors
Know what’s in store
Listening to their clever endeavor

LYRICS
Just let me know
Know not the no
Just let me know
Confess
The virt-you’s of yes

Just let me know
We’re good to go
We’re good to grow
Know not the no
Just let me know
Confess
The virt-you’s of yes
Dumbfounded blues
Will blow
The clouds’ shadow
New found
“Skies of blue(s)”
Letting in the light
Enlight
Insight

Just let me know
To love thy foe
Hate is let go
We’re in the know
We’re good to go
Just let me know
We’re good to go
Just let me know?

LYRICS
This plan is ludicrous
Lucifer, spawned by man
I guess that’s what I am?
Meet me at the crossroads
Lizards, toads
Flushing commodes
Choose to lose
Or choose to win
Choose to lose
Means choose again
(Satin?)
The devil ill
Satin I sin
Lordy, save me

LYRICS
New moon rising
It’s so hard to see
Cold rain driving
Falling down on me
Inevitability
Tomorrow will be
The day will come
The night succumb
To the delight of light
The facts
The moon will wax
The moon will wane
Daylight comes all the same
Full moon rising
It’s so easy to see
Seasons changing
Carrying on me

Let’s just start
Up the heat
Reality fades into
The surreal you
Do, please, do
On the spot?
Why not
It’s getting hot

The hearts’ heat
You warm my skin
You warm within

Up the heat
