Dropped

Fly high the skies are friendly
Jet lag the land does just fine
Learned to love the land of plenty
Learned to love the home of mine
Touch down the ground of where you’re found
Destiny and fate that were once a mess
Wave goodbye to hollow sunshine
Love’s lost but the future’s endless
Dropped off but I’m going nowhere
That’s OK because I’m all right
Where you’re heading,
Everybody knows dear
I’ll wait right here for another bite
This is just a modern nightmare
Lucid dream of truth and fright
Kiss the minds that see the sunlight
And whip the soul who blinds the sight
Follow the man who drives you forward
All been done in past is wrong
Say goodbye to hollow sunshine
Look back, and now you’re gone
Look back, I see you’re gone
Dropped off but I’m going nowhere
That’s OK because I’m all right
Where you’re heading,
Everybody knows, dear
I’ll wait right here for another bite

Tranquil Mind

5AM I heard her whisper
Truth be told about my future
Eyes of masking and touch unnoticed
I could only hear her tears
Detonation left me standing with this
Frozen hour glass of madness
The walls around me are fading away
Like a new sense of freedom was laid upon me
8AM the morning bell
Enveloped silence of whom to tell
Pulled the plug on hopeful soul
Now the sadness won’t let go
Stationed alone I find myself
Tranquil mind of contentment,
Though tearful past and resentment,
I wonder why
8AM the morning bell
Enveloped silence of whom to tell
Pulled the plug on hopeful soul
It’s time for me to go
Where I’m going no one knows
Now that Livings’ door has closed
Standing alone you’ll find myself
Pictured along your barren shelf

I'm Alive

I’m not quite that man that you claim me to be.
You poison my mind with your sweet fantasy.
Of tall tale stories in a fairy tale past,
Built up twelve stories, how long will I really last?
My sheltered mind starts dreaming.
And I’m fooled into believing your jealous heart,
Now I’m afraid to feel I’m helpless.
So baby, I want to go alone.
And lose myself.
No one to save me,
Just me to feel like...
I built up a name to protect myself,
To save a fall from the deadly thirteenth shelf,
And one day I’ll call to be caught when I fall,
But Bombadil may not be there.
And even if he was, I’d retire him just because,
I’m afraid to feel I’m helpless
So baby, I want to go alone.
And lose myself.
No one to save me,
Just me to feel like,
I’m alive.

A Date, with Disaster
04:36
|
|||
|
A bomb in space to kill the silence
Another hit to ease the pain
Prescribe a dose of sex and violence
Wash it down with acid rain
I’m on a date with sheer disaster
A comic book future where all dies in the end
Can’t you slow it down, or set it back
I’ve been blinded by her beauty
Turn it off
Can’t you tire the way your stupid mind breeds the world?
You brought it on
Independent thoughts are overdue
Those TV shows, they hypnotize
Full of shit your robot feeds you
No more room to emphasize
I’m on a date with self-destruction
A comic book future where we all die in the end
What a way to end the week,
Just one more drink to fall asleep,
And soon I’m slowly drifting
Turn it off
Can’t you tire the way your stupid mind breeds the world?
You brought it on
Your wicked mind feeds the men who eat the world
Why can't you turn it off
Lying, shaking on the floor,
Trying to kill the piercing roar.
Your conscious crying, your heartbeat racing,
Can't withstand your mind from pacing.
Anything to make it stop,
More and more, pills you pop.
Once contained a heart of pure,
Now trying to find the inevitable cure.
Why can't you turn it off?
Turn it off
Can’t you tire the way your stupid mind breeds the world?
You brought it on
Your wicked mind feeds the men who eat the world
Why can't you turn it off

Song of Yesterday
07:06

Heaven once told me she’s afraid to fall asleep.
The beauty of desire leads her through wicked nightmare.
And she feels it’s all reality,
But I know it’s all in her mind.
Heaven once told me her mind won’t let her dream.
Not the dream she wants, that is,
Sick and sad and everything in-between.
But of course, nothing is as seems.
And I know, it’s all in her mind
Background music taken away,
Boring noise of truth shall stay.
Heaven cried her dreams away.
Heaven once sold me on the thought that there is no God.
And that the earth was built by a monster,
For the simple joy of watching us suffer.
Though she spoke of words from lullabies,
She slipped on those wicked, vicious lies.
Background music taken away,
Boring noise of truth shall stay.
Heaven cried her dreams away,
This is the song of yesterday.
The song of yesterday.
