Stabbed (In the Back)
03:45
|
|||
In the blindness you’ll see
What you never knew about me
Damage case just in case
You won’t forget about me
Time is the enemy
of all the things that you see
Chorus:
Long after I my scent is gone
You’ll still be hangin’ on
Go on and walk away
It’s all the same , all the same
In the light things always seem
So much bigger to me
A million things that you dispise
About yourself but you blame me
There’s a risk that I’ll take
Drank a million bottles, such a waste
In the end it’s all the same
You can’t burn away my name
Chorus:
Long after I my scent is gone
You’ll still be hangin’ on
Go on and walk away
It’s all the same , all the same
(Bridge 1 )
And now there’s not much left
Left to do, but look away
Just look away
But when you look back
it never looks the same
The color gets muted and changed
And now you know there’s no such thing
Your memory is just as blind
It’s just as blind as a fool like me
From the start now to the end
You wont erase me from your head
Chorus:
Long after I my scent is gone
You’ll still be hangin’ on
Go on and walk away
It’s all the same , all the same
(Bridge 2)
And now I am going down
In your book
Your book of stone
Now I am forever
Etched into your book of shame
Chorus:
Long after I my scent is gone
You’ll still be hangin’ on
Go on and walk away
It’s all the same , all the same

Unchain My Hands
03:44
|
|||
Black steel waves of night
Hold me in my bed
dragging me
Into that place
That place again
Wound up so tight
No one understands
unchain my feet
unchain my hands
Your words to blame
for this awful mess
it just cant be me
you must know this
Wound up so tight
No one understands
unchain my feet
unchain my hands
Blue moon won’t come
not tonight or ever
'til then I’ll be on the edge
on the edge of forever
Wound up so tight
No one understands
unchain my feet
unchain my hands

No Denying
02:46

Machines go down the road
And back they come again
Stopping only to reload
And shoot their bullets again
In the trunk the animals rage
Fighting in the dark rolling cage
Stopping only to reload
And start their fight again
(Chorus)
You can’t deny
The sounds you hear
Or the sharpened edge
of mounting fear
You can’t escape
The pending bloody rape
Or the child
It creates
Your peace of mind
is shrinking fast
at events you’ve witness
there’s nothing new
or nothing you can do
the truth will
play out vicious
The woman sits at the bar
Lipstick butts fill the tray
Outside the roar of the car
Is not to far away
The man speaks and she agrees
She knows its lies but still believes
In her fatal ventured wish
Its his bloody
power hungry dish
You can’t deny
The scene you witness
Or jump the
unbridgeable distance
You can’t intervene
To stop this tragic scene
you stand back
at deaths insistence
Your peace of mind
is shrinking fast
at events you’ve witness
there’s nothing new
or nothing you can do
the truth will
play out vicious
The angels go
up and fly
Back and forth
around the sky
Carrying holy recipe books
Running errands
for the cooks
Stealing cheap wine and vodka
for the holy rites
there’s a party getting started
there be no sleep tonight
You can’t deny
That sinking feeling
Life has passed you by
That sharpened edge
Will honor its pledge
And stop your tires
from squealing
Your peace of mind
is shrinking fast
at events you’ve witness
there’s nothing new
or nothing you can do
the truth will
play out vicious

Bloody Foot Blues
03:16
|
|||
(Verse 1)
I sit at the edge and watch
as you slowly move around-
your hands are busy and
your feet don’t touch the ground-
you say you don’t love me
and you can’t stay anymore-
I was left alone again
when you walked out that door[
was left alone again
when you walked out that door-
There she goes-
(Verse 2)
I spend my nights shuffling
around the dirty streets-
blisters and bleeding sores
open up all over my feet-
I spend my days scraping
around for something to eat-
and thinking of you again
and the love that was so sweet-
thinking of you again
and the love that was so sweet-
the love that was so sweet-
(Verse 3)
Is it the ruin of man
in need of a woman so much?-
is he made weaker, if
to flourish from her touch?-
a walking a disaster
the people look away-
turnand run from me faster
my eyes turn from blue to grey-
my eyes turn from blue to grey-
(Chorus)
I’ve worn out my welcome
I’ve worn out my shoes
I’ve worn out my woman, baby
got the bloody foot blues
I’ve worn out the sidewalk
Walking the street
They’ve had enough of me
sleeping on the beach
the cops chase me around
While I look for you
its the same in every town
got the bloody foot blues
(Verse 4)
I sat at the edge and watched
as you slowly moved around-
your hands were busy and
your feet don’t touch the ground-
you said you don’t love me
and you can’t stay anymore-
i’m left alone again
when you walked out the door
when you walked out the door-
You’re gone for good

Empty Space
02:13
|
|||
The arrow of time
Moves in one direction
Velocity increases
Eludes detection
It folds in half
Then half again
Pulling us back
To the beginning
Or the end
From the zero
Take one away
Starting up the count
To the Lord’s day
Everything
Comes from nothing
The empty space is
Gravity crushing
(Chorus)
The cherub trumpets
Will blow the tune
Angels with their harps
Lit by the moon
The harmony
Is discorded
Entropy
Is rewarded
I overlay
My superstitions
On your superposition
We walk the Planck
In the other direction
And overlap
Another dimension

Everything Is Fine
03:01

We’re spied wherever we go
They mean business
Whatever's said is recorded
To be used against us
So do you speak up?
So do you shout?
So do you type a letter?
So do you lash out?
Police are on our side
You are told to respect
Until you’re on the radar
Then you’re suspect
So do you defend?
So do fight back?
So do you ask for mercy?
So do you attack?
(Chorus)
But Everything is Fine
Everything is Fine
Everything is Fine
Everything is Fine
Everything is Fine
Everything is Fine
We’ve all been told lies
That what you do is wrong
Disinformation campaigns
Keeps you mesmerized
So do you look for truth?
So do you seek wisdom?
So do ask for assistance?
So do you cut thru the curtain?
He says we’re the enemy
That we stand in his way
From getting his job done
And make everything OK
So do you stand in the way?
So do you become subversive?
So do get rolled over on?
So do you get sent away?
(Chorus)
But Everything is Fine
Everything is Fine
Everything is Fine
Everything is Fine
Everything is Fine
Everything is Fine
Everything is Fine

Come To Me
03:07
|
|||
(Verse 1)
I’ve extend an invitation
From me to you
You don’t need persuasion
Just a push should do
Come to me my darling
My intentions are true
There is nothing
For you I won’t do
Come to me, into my arms
Freedom in my grip
Stand with me against the enemy
Shield the whip
(Chorus)
We salute a different flag
And pledge to each other
This is a call to arms
Against big brother
(Verse 2)
Tell me you love me
I make the demand
Fall to you knees
I order and command
You can’t be without me
And no other interferes
We were made for each other
I make this clear
Fall into my arms, love
Be warm in my embrace
Kiss me softly, dear
Your heart beats apace
(Chorus)
We salute a different flag
And pledge to each other
This is a call to arms
Against big brother
(Verse 3)
The starling sings all day
The mockingbird calls at night
By the sacred clock
We conduct our rites
With spring comes the thaw
The chill begins in fall
The fires start the summer
Winter brings the end of us all
Sweet baby, feel my embrace
And fear no more
Together we immolate
and martyr our love
(Chorus)
We salute a different flag
And pledge to each other
This is a call to arms
Against big brother

Romantic Interlude
01:16
|
|||
I find that worry comes from not knowing what the answer is or from knowing but not wanting to do the thing that solves the problem either from a lack of comprehending the steps,not having the energy or interest in doing them or because of the physical or psychological discomfort which may or might be feared to be a part of the process vs. that weird nameless gnawing that; although everything seems OK,
you still feel you're not doing what you should be doing…
but the absence of which,due to either the eventually assumption of duty and conclusion of the event or the acceptance of the inevitability of the outcome finally spells true open soul happiness—that relaxed chest,deep cool breathed relaxation that almost only exists as a counter-point to stress. We forget to have faith in the wind that bends dandelion stems on overgrown highway dividers, then, on to part wheat fields like a proud mother does her baby's hair. Out under the sun everything makes sense, even hunger and thirst and skeletal animals remains along mountain trails. That relationship won't ever fail you. We have magnets in our chests. Open your heart. Relax our mind and let time do the rest

(Verse 1)
Heavy drops from the sky
It’s a sunny day, 4th of July
Every wedding, every funeral
Drag on, so elemental
The liquid foundation
My painted smile
Hides frustration
Fireworks, seen for miles
You can see me coming
I can fly...
Little birdie,
My sparks shoot the sky
(Verse 2)
The mouth spits fire, into your eye
I can’t complain
I scat in style
Lead, no-bull target
To much to carry
Dead Dead Dead
Poor little guy....
My ions are free,
Who leased this party?
I bark
Constantly
(Verse 3)
Who can pick it up?
And carry the mantle
Center of the earth
I will dismantle
Elijah to Elisha
They say I’m insane
My meat is raw
Light the flame
Corrosion proof heavy artillery
Mattress spring
Load fully
(Bridge)
This is test
Acid tongued battery
No need to get upset
It’s just family
Food on the table
Fills my teeth
Dirty air pockets
Drift underneath
You sick of me yet?
Getting tired already?
Red-hot mice dance
Parades are steady
Check the oil and
Wash your shirt
I use electric chair
To comb my hair
(Verse 4)
The paints faded away
The magic gone
Paper or plastic revolution?
Rated PG or final solution?
How much more can you take?
Sounds in the night
Lonely fear, cant hide
Love me do
Do me wrong
Not a straight thought to grab
Try and read in this light
