LYRICS
Passed the past
Don’t look back
When you’re in the lead
… why concede?

Over your shoulder
A shadow you’ll see
As you grow older
The light you will be
*pure energy*

Passed the past
Last panic attack
When you’re in the lead
… why concede?

Over your shoulder
A shadow you’ll see
As you grow older
The light you will be
*pure energy*

LYRICS
What’s your fate
Volcano of hate
That’s poor taste
Oh, no! The waste
Just can’t wait
Volcano of hate
Destruction eruption

Whirlwind of sin
Tornado of hate
Pinned to “has been”
Human waste
Just can’t wait
Tornado of hate
Destruction rotation

Crush romance
Avalanche of hate
Each and every chance
You participate
Just can’t wait
Avalanche of hate
Smother sister
Smother brother
’til there is no other

LYRICS
What’s that? “You better get back?”
’cause she’s going to get me back
I’m in overtime
… in overtime

Mother Nature’s wrath
Gonna take a bath
Paying for our crime
… in overtime

Harvey and Irma wave a wake
Shake and bake
Another earthquake
What will it take
Mother Nature’s wrath
Gonna take a bath
Paying for our crime
… in overtime

Don’t breathe. No relief.
Eat the dirt. Ozone alert.
Environmental mental thief
Hit the dirt. We’re going nuclear

Not sure of the future
Man vs. Nature

Gonna take a bath
Paying for our crime
… in overtime

LYRICS
Physics debate: negate hate?
Collapse of synapse
A blackhole stole your soul

The bargains in your basement
Are the toys in your attic
Again and again with disparagement
Enough to cut you to the quick

Chip off the old blockhead
Rest my case… put to bed
If you ask me
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree

Really no treat in the heat
Still tryin’ to learn concern
A homicide of the whole inside
Sacrificed soul to the blackhole

LYRICS
Hard to tell (Witch’s spell?)
But it looks like a groundswell
Mountain.. I’m talkin’ mountain
Mountain out of a molehill

Hundred percent chance
Of wearing an avalanche

I’m sure hopin’ you’re wearin’
Mighty big shoes to fill
It won’t be long ’til you’re gone
And, this avalanche could kill

So, choose to donate your shoes
For us to fill them in again
A second chance from this avalanche
And escape the hell of your groundswell

LYRICS
Going old school
For whom does the bell toll?
Meanwhile a child will smile
Everything will yearn to turn

Do you want a burdensome load
To carry to the end of your road?

Do you want to live in “#uck it!”
’till you kick the bucket?

Do you know why “we’re all gonna die”?
Is Promised Land pie-in-the-sky?

Pushing up daisies more than a maybe
From a man to a stardust baby

Everything will yearn to turn
Everybody will churn
Every body everywhere
Everybody every where

LYRICS
I’m unsure about time capture
Is time something you can store
Am I a time capsule
In continuum on patrol

They say time The Avenger
Will make you a stranger
Foregone unknown into the future
Quick! Capture your soul with a picture

I’m not sure about saving time
The sands of time are too fine
Can’t keep them in an hourglass
Through the glass they pass

If a stitch in time saves nine
What about the tenth?
Are you going to save what’s mine
If so, at what length?

Can you save your life
Be immortality
Can you save your life
Be invincibility

LYRICS
Did you ever wonder:
How much more is in store?
Wake-up in the morning and walk out the door
How much more is in store?
I suppose I’m
A quantity of quality time

Did you ever wonder:
How much more you’ll endure?
Do you suppose time is measured, too?

With gravity I see we gravitate
From before to too late
As suggestion, a question:
Why would I want to wait?
Take advantage of having weight
Before the liquidation
Before we liquidate
Do you ask the question?

LYRICS
The way you wiggle
Love the lines you scribble
An art critic from the New York Times
Says your “lines are mighty fine”

The way you wiggle
Love the lines you scribble
At the very least a masterpiece
… like Picasso or Van Gogh
You know… Picasso or Van Gogh?

The way you wiggle
Love the lines you scribble
The parallel symmetry
It really, really gets to me

I am thinking museum
Quality obviously
I can see clearly
Your name on the marquee

What a beautiful beauty full view
With the sky sky-blue
What a beautiful beauty full view
To enjoy with you

Seeing with ears
Hearing with heart
Wonder who hears Her calling your part
Touched by thought
No taste goes to waste
Can you taste fulfilling your part

Sure a beautiful… beauty full of you

See beauty being set free
Soul so beautiful
Beauty full soul

LYRICS
For those that think it’s best
The rest are just a pest
If you try to address their mess
They’ll pass the buck to the next
Patriot bull$hit
Political rhetoric
(This $hit is thick)
Do no harm? Sound the alarm!
Men in suits stole the loot
Savage beast… to say the least

For those that boast “I’m the most”
At last, first will be last
At last, last will be first
Their reign quenching our thirst
Redemption nation
Alienation salvation
(Hallelujah hallucination)
Is justice justified
Is your hide on the ride
Was downside… now upside

Leaving it up to you
Since I don’t know what to do
Leaving it up to you

Conman in the White House
Politician’s a louse
Don’t need to think twice
When it comes to getting lice
Leaving it up to you
Since I don’t know what to do

Global warming warning
What do we need to heed
Spokesman is a hoax, man
I heard the dead men said
Leaving it up to you
Since I don’t know what to do

Bombing babies in cities
Error in the war on terror
Create parents irate
A radical can’t chill
Leaving it up to you
Since I don’t know what to do

Almost saw a ghost
Lost soul
Should have been toast
Almost saw a ghost
Life’s toll
Nemesis of boast
This is the Nemesis

Why don’t you confess
Your mess
Live like a pig
Now you are a ghost
At most
Body pillage… not so big
This is the Nemesis

Almost saw a ghost
Lost soul
Spirited roast
Almost saw a ghost
Life’s toll
Nemesis of “most”
This is the Nemesis

Almost saw a ghost
Lifeless host
Death on two legs
Almost saw a ghost
Heartless host
The question begs
Who is you Nemesis?
This is your Nemesis
