bookmark_borderThe Way It Is / Was

LYRICS
Is that the way it is?
Because if that’s the way it is
Now, it was

Is that the way it is?
’cause that is turned to was
The is is now was
Shall we get to will be
What will be
What will be will be
If we chart our destiny

Well, is that the way it
Now, that’s the way it was
Is that the way it is
Because…
Now, that’s the way it was

Is that the way it is
’cause now that’s the way it was
Because
As fast as it is is
Is was

In the blink of an eye I go from is to was
So as long as I shall be
I will be
Living in what will be
In charge of our density

Sailing the sea we’ll see what will be charting our destiny

Is that the way it is
Is that the way it is
Is that the way it is

If that’s the way it is
Then that’s the way it is

PART 3
Is that the way it is?
Because
If that’s the way it is
Now, that’s the way it was
As is turns to was

I’d like to see how we chart our destiny
So we set sail for the sea we shall see how we chart our destiny

Is that the way it is?
Because
Now, that is was

Is that how it is?
Because
Now, that is has turned to was

LYRICS
I’ve been wandering
Wondering as I’m wandering
Out on the range
Isn’t life strange

I hope I’m not walking
I hope I’m not talking
In circles
I’d feel like such a circle-jerk
That just won’t work

I’ve been wandering
Wondering as I’m wandering
Out on the range
Isn’t life strange
Let’s begin to soak it in
It doesn’t matter where you begin
Soak it in

bookmark_borderThe Ending

LYRICS
There’s a cold wind blowing
Wrapping itself around your spine
Sending shivers up and down mine

Can we really be ending
The infinity of eternity
Is there any uncertainty
In the message we are sending

There’s a mean storm brewing
Revolution of evolution
Desolation of our institution

Chorus

There’s lean times a coming
Lacking meat in what we eat
Helter skelter in our shelter

Chorus

Will you take me for a ride?
Show me my inside
Please show me inside

Well, that’s it! You took me for a trip

LYRICS
Took a look around and instantly found
A brain of feces is common in my species
If you want to get up, you’ve gotta get out of bed
At the end of the day, what can be said?

Get your get your feet running before you hit the ground
Puzzle a thesis and figure out the pieces
Chorus

Is your only path to knowledge to be force fed
Didn’t graduate from college ’cause knowledge you dread

LYRICS
When the going gets tough
Do the tough get going?
Going… without any of ’em knowing?
Are any of them going knowing

When the going gets tough
Do the tough get going?
Are any of them knowing
Growing?
Growing with experience
I’m starting to sense
The answer is no
They don’t know
They don’t know no know
When the going gets tough
Do the tough get going?
None of ’em knowing
The problem is the system known as I am
I’m
I’m the system causing havoc
Causing the Earth to get sick
If I could only think quick
But… when the going gets tough
The tough get going

LYRICS
What is it coming to?
I’m on my knees begging you
What’s it coming to…
I’m on my knees begging you

Is it possible to get a rational point-of-view
Is it possible to get a logical answer
From either him or her
Or is this all just disaster

What’s going on here
Oh, no
Just as we fear
We’re here
I’ve arrived
Look out now

On my knees I’m begging you
There’s gotta be something we can do

LYRICS
Have you crossed the line?

Is your toe over the line
Have you crossed the line
Did you toe the line
Tow the line

Have you gone to far
Leaving the door ajar
Now all hell is breaking loose
Killed the golden goose
Now you’re running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off
Did you toe the line
Did you tow the line

As a member of society
Being part of humanity
It is business of mine
So I’m minding my own business when I ask you
Did you toe the line

Did you tow the line
Did you start in time
Did you toe the line
Did you cross the line
Did you tow the line

T-t-t-t-t-t tip toe
Toe the line
T-t-t-t-t-t tip toe
Tow the line

LYRICS
Will it suffice to sacrifice your life
If you know immortality for all eternity
Will it suffice to sacrifice your life
If you just go on to sin and sin again
Are you suppose to resolve all man’s sins
What are you believing
You’ve got to won up to your sin
What are you believing
You can’t run from your sin

If your end never ends
How can you begin to live up to all your sin
You’ve got to take responsibility
Can’t you see
You can’t depend on someone else’s immortality
You’re a sight to see

LYRICS
Quick! …sand
Doesn’t anybody understand
Getting sucked in by the quicksand
Quicksand
Do you understand
Due to our demand
Our damned demand
Getting sucked in to the quicksand… by the quicksand

Oh no!
Sucking us in so slow
How to juggle not to struggle
Start seeping in
And I’m going deep in
Getting sucked in by my own motion
Going down, down, down
Do we understand
We demand
Getting sucked in… quicksand

I’ll be damned
Getting sucked in by the quicksand
We demand to be damned
Sucked into the quicksand
From thence we shall come to judge the quick and dead
I heard it said
Understand
Sucked in by the quicksand

Do you have any idea what we’re doing
Do we have any idea what we’re doing
You really got me
How can you sleep tonight
How can anyone anywhere sleep tight?
