LYRICS
What color is black or white
In spite of no color in sight
Insist that I’m always right
No matter how slight my slight
Differentiate shadow from the light
Just as day from the night
Differentiate light from shadow
As if we didn’t know

LYRICS
So we heard it all before?
Better listen one time more
Innocence is at the door
Question: will we endure?
The consequences of our circumstance
Goes right to our core

Oh no we’ve turned a blind eye
As the youth of the world cry
Innocence is stopping by
Question: are we going to die?
The consequences of our circumstance
Comes down to the I

LYRICS
Hello
Goodbye
Why?
(Tell me why!?!?!)
It was a life
I was just getting to know
Cuts like a knife
Life,
Where did you go?
Woah! Can you take it slow
When I was young
I thought a hundred
Would be enough
Now the swan’s sung
And the years rendered
… getting tough
Hello
Goodbye
Why?
(Tell me why!?!?!)
It was a life
I was just getting to know
Cuts like a knife
Life,
Where did you go?
Woah! Can you take it slow

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Livid over what we did
Me and id
Now, we’ve come to realize
All the I’s
Count as one
Small sum
Small some
We’ve come to practice
Extemporaneous
To not practice practice
But, we digress
Less
… and less
To practically be practicelessness
Extemporaneous

LYRICS
It’s a…
Very predictable outcome
Call it free dumb
Tell Mother Nature’s son…
To run
Run through the forest and field
Our motto’s never yield
Run through the trees and pasture
Run to serve our future
Run through the valley, over hills
Run until your gut spills
Soar over the foes and the woes
Land if Man can understand

LYRICS
Waxing and waning
’bout explaining
The rules of love
When the push and shove
Dissolve
Evolve into love
Hold me tight
Let me go
Yes, I know
Be the light
(If we’d be the light
It’d be my delight)
Enlighten…
May we begin
Let us
Free us
Again
To begin

LYRICS
Aren’t we all searching
For the same thing
Something
To hold on to
Yet
No matter what we do
Time slips through

Well, with the time I’ve got
Why? Why not!
Well, with the time given
Livin’ in heaven
To hell with time taken
Unforsaken
(Well, with the time we’ve got
Why? Why not!)

Aren’t we all aching
For the same thing
Something
To hold on to
Yet
No matter what we do
Time slips through

Well, with the time I’ve got
Why? Why not!
Well, with the time given
Livin’ in heaven
To hell with time taken
Unforsaken
(Well, with the time we’ve got
Why? Why not!)

Feel the earth quaking
Search for something
Anything
To hold on to
Yes
No matter what we do
Time slips through
Something
To hold on to
Yet
No matter what we do
Time slips through

Well, with the time I’ve got
Why? Why not!
Well, with the time given
Livin’ in heaven
To hell with time taken
Unforsaken
(Well, with the time we’ve got
Why? Why not!)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Humans went marching one by one
Hurrah, hooray
The last one stopped to shun their son/sun
Strap on your battle gear
No fear
Scrap all the wear and tear
Dies’ dare
So long as hearts don’t care
So there

Humans went marching two by two
Hurrah, hooray
The last one stops to say, “F. U.!”

Humans went marching three by three
Hurrah, hooray
The last one doesn’t stop…
… just says, “It’s all about me!”

LYRICS
Maybe it’s time to start waving
The white flag
After all this misbehaving
Our smiles say
Lift it up! Lift it up! Uplifting
Give it up! Give it up! Soul drifting
One would think we know
Wave before we go

Maybe it’s tie to start saving
Dying day
After all this misbehaving
Our hearts say
Lift it up! Lift it up! Uplifting
Give it up! Give it up! Soul drifting
One would think we know
Wave before we go

Bye-bye
With a heavy heart and sigh
Bye-bye

LYRICS
With empty noggins
And hollow hearts
Idiocracy starts
Have we really come to this
Standing in our own piss?

With solid headbone
Lights on but not home
Rabid mouths foam
Have we really come to this
Standing in our own piss?

With faulty membrane
A real brain strain
Ignorance sustain
Have we really come to this
Standing in our own piss?
