Seen so many people
Livin’ in-daze

Seen so many people
Too many people
Loosing their days
In a haze
Loosing their days

Livin’ in-daze

Seen so many people

Livin’ in-daze

Wastin’ way

LYRICS
On a perfect purple velvet moonlit night
Perfect night for insight

In the light
The light shines on
On insight
I can see
What I can be
I can see
What can be
I can see me be

On a perfect purple velvet moonlit night
Moonlit velvet
Moonlit night
Shining down insight
There’s a glow
In the glow there’s a flow
The know

bookmark_borderFingernails On Thin Ice

LYRICS
Trying to grab by my fingernails
’cause right now what ails is what fails
The thin ice
Crackin’ me up

Fingernails down a blackboard
Sending shivers… shivers up and down my spine
yeeeeeah
Not sure if it’s fine
Sending shivers up and down my spine
The claw
Of it all
The claw of it all
As the fingertips go down
The chalkboard
Blackboard
The slate
At any rate
It sends shivers, chills
It spills chills
Up and down the spine
My spine
Ahhhhhhh
It’s intertwined
With pain
You’d have to be insane
Caught up in your own vain
Injecting vain into your vein
’till you feel no pain

The down side is you’re the pain
Driving us insane
The thin ice
It’s the fingers and the slate
Could drive a man irate
By the fingernails
What ails is what fails

The thin ice

The System.mp3

LYRICS
You know we’re all suckin’ off the system
I know I am
Very clear what’s going on here
It started with my Mom’s teat
… but, we all gotta eat

Ya, we’re all sucking off the same hose
Everyone knows

It’s more about your need
More about the greed
Starting with your Mom’s teat
We’ve all got to eat

No surprise when you realize right before your eyes
We’re all suckin’ off the system
I know I am
But, I know I’ll do what can
How about you

We strive to stay alive
Survival of the fittest
Who is best?
My, oh, my
What will be my best fit
Even if I don’t like it a bit

Every day when I wake
See how much I can take
Gotta see what I can be
Gotta see what’s inside of me

I know, I know, I know
We’re all suckin’ off the same hose
I know, I know
How the water will flow
We’re all suckin’ of the system
I am…
I know I am
Gonna do what I can do
Hope you will, too
See what we can be
I know
About the flow
I know I am
Suckin’ off the system

Suckin’ off the system
I know I am
Started with my mother’s teat
We all gotta eat

In Common.mp3

LYRICS
Right before my eyes I start to realize
Common sense is hard to come by
And, I don’t know why

None to be found
None around

Right before my I’s, I start to realize
Common sense is hard to come by
And, I don’t know why

If all I do is “I, I, I, me, me, me”
It’s easy to see
No surprise
My demise

Right before my eyes I start to realize
Common sense is hard to come by
And, I don’t know why

How can you have more space
If space is nothing
How can you have more nothing
And find a trace?

(trip)

Right before my I’s, I start to realize
Common sense is hard to come by
And, I don’t know why

It seems that this I
The I I eye
Coming to think… it’s inevitable
That I’ll be unable…
I mean, we’re all gonna die
I don’t care why

(skip and a jump / time slide faster)

Common sense is hard to come by
But you’d better try
Not just some sort-of pie-in-sky
Get a grasp
At last

LYRICS
If you keep trying to find your place in this space
Even just trying to keep place at your pace
By looking in, by digging in, inside
How are you ever gonna figure it out
Figure out out
Figure out out

If you’re lost in your own space
Trying to figure out what face
To wear
Beware
If you keep digging in
Looking in
To your inside
You’re gonna miss the ride
How ya gonna figure out out
Figure out out?

If it’s all about you
Unlikely life will ring true
But, you’ll get through
Doing all you can do
To figure out out
To figure out out
You’ve got to come out
Look out!
To figure out out

Where to begin?
Get over within
Figure out out
Get over within
Get to figgerin’ out out

Trying to get on and along
Getting over in
Figuring out out
Trying to figure out out
Gonna figure out out
Leaving no doubt

Getting it on within figuring out out

Taking showers with the meteors
More than mediocre
We fly high
Lighting up the sky

Fleeing all
Falling in a waterfall
Getting to know the flow
In total
With the waterfall

Take flight through the night into the bright…
Dawn
Moving on

Take a shower with the meteors
More than mediocre
You can fly high
In the night sky

Do you fear we’ve exhausted the final frontier
Do you fear… the final frontier
And, do you know where will go
From here

Where do we go from here
Have we exhausted the final frontier
We’ve exhausted
Wasted
Away
Approaching the final day
Do you know where we’ll go from here

Where do we go from here
I fear…
We’ve exhausted the final frontier
Now there can no longer be peer-to-peer
’cause you can’t even find a peer

I fear the final frontier was here
And it’s gone
What went wrong
What do we do at the end of the line
At the End Of Times
Do you know where to go from here?

Unclench the fist

There seems to be something missing in the middle of our mission
It starts at the heart
There’s something missing in the middle of our mission
Seems to start right at the heart

Something missing in the middle of our mission
Look at that
It starts right at the heart

Guess you don’t know about the glow?
You’d think we’d know about the glow

Something missing in the middle of our mission
Ain’t feelin’ much like fishin’
They can wait to cast my bait
I already know
It starts at the heart
I know it’s with the flow
It starts at the heart
There ain’t no glow!
It starts at the heart

The glow flow starts at the heart

It stands to reason
If the other side of the other of Earth is made of earth
Making me wonder… is the other side of living… more like earth or heaven

It stands to reason
Maybe the opposite season
But nevertheless
More or less —
Earth
(Heaven on Earth)

It stands to reason
On the other side

On the other side of Earth
What’s it made of… earth?
On the other side

No, not quite ready to ride
If it’s high tide here is it low tide there
I don’t want to arrive at the wrong tide
On the other side
If it’s high tide here is it low tide there
If so, I want to beware
On the other side

I had this crazy notion
To create a concoction

Spreadin’ from ocean to ocean

Upon suggestion
Create a concoction
Injection
Straight to the heart
Like Cupid’s arrow
And a bow… ya know?
Straight through the heart
A love potion
Can you help the love grow
Spread it from ocean to ocean
Could be the solution
To our situation
The creation
Of a concoction
A love potion

A love potion
Set in motion
Love potion

Solution to our situation
Our hell-bound self-annihilation
We need some new ventilation
It’s hard to breath
I think our hearts will seize
And our brains will freeze

A love potion

If we start to look in our heart
The soul-ution will be the potion
And the potion will spread from ocean to ocean
