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

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

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

Click my <3
Beat by beat
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
Beat by beat
Up the heat
Beat by beat by beat by beat

LYRICS
Quick hit and ride
Before low tide
It never seems to fail
Your ship has set sail
All aboard
Cast off from shore
Sea shanty’s tale
And so much more
Wailing… wail!
Sailing… sail!

Seaside subside
Another low tide
It never seems to fail
Your ship has set sail
All aboard
Cast off from shore
Sea shanty’s tale
And so much more
Wailing… wail!
Sailing… sail!

Flip “override”
Bypass low tide
It never seems to fail
Your ship has set sail
All aboard
Cast off from shore
Sea shanty’s tale
And so much more
Wailing… wail!
Sailing… sail!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Before I could twitch
To scratch that itch
Son of a bitch
Flood of blood
Now what can I do
To subdue
I’m begging you
Stop the flow
Before I go
Shout
Down and out, out, out
Do an about
Before it’s too late
And, I’m “the late”
(Before I’m “late”)
Ohhhh please wait
Can’t bear the weight
Help me out
Shout
Down and out, out, out
Do an about
Before it’s too late
And, I’m “the late (Mr.________)”

LYRICS
What goes up might come down
As long as gravity’s around
Masses depending on their mass
To keep their bodies down
Searching for some friction
Traction to get around
What I’ve found

In my space-time continuum
Here I am. Leave no trace?
Masses depending on their mass
To keep their bodies down
Searching for some friction
Traction to get around
What I’ve found

Chaos theory living mystery
Orderless system, yes, I am
Masses depending on their mass
To keep their bodies down
Searching for some friction
Traction to get around
What I’ve found

LYRICS
In the ebb of my flow
I get to know
Awake in wake
Hit the sure
And more
The indent of my footprint
Easy to track
Behind my back
To endure
Some more
(To live to see another day
They say)
To make
Give and take
Forsake
Sole
For soul

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Where to begin?
Over again
Is birth the ending
Of gestation
Or the beginning
Of really living

Where to begin?
Over again
Is death the ending
Of illumination
Or the beginning
Of really glowing
The light is on
Go beyond

Where to begin?
Over again?
The circle of life
Just a suggestion
Regeneration
Round and round
No ending found

LYRICS
Can you believe this, Lord?
Can you believe it
(Leave it)
Board with the sword, Lord?
We grieve
They up it
Watch the fog clear
Hold the loved ones dear
They’re going nuclear
No not missile toe
Tip-toe
Bringing on the bomb
Nuclear
How come?
So dumb
Therefore, why from
No one
The bomb
