Lyrics:
How do you do?
Please won’t you empty your pockets?
Cause we like those who help us out in turning a profit
Like the war we waged here in the land of the free
Putting more behind bars and more out on the street
Please go home there is nothing to see here
Cause you,
Stood on the backs of others
While you slayed, you stole, betrayed your one true mother
Haven’t strayed from this broken path,
Lead on then we’re lost with no turning back
One, two, FUCK YOU!
“Government is not the solution to our problems, government isss the prroobleeemm”
Justice is blind
And fortune favors the bold
The powerful stand trial and we lift up the blindfold
40 nothing short of an utter disease
Reaganomics, arming nations, raising global degrees
Increase the cost of a visit,
Minor inconvenience
Who’s speaking for the dead while you’re charging for treatment?
Cause you,
Stood on the backs of others
While you slayed, you stole, betrayed your one true mother
Haven’t strayed from this broken path,
Lead on then we’re lost with no turning back.

Canopy

Lyrics:
I live under a cold canopy
Of sturdy cement and glass.
They tower over me like a villain
Creeping in the grass.
Sunlight hits me through the panes,
I’m overwhelmed with their toxic reign.
They’ve one thing on the brain and that’s green luxury.
Up and up the villains they go
No one will stop them
and no one will know
The time in which we live is filled with
The villains we have created.
What happened to the canopies of trees?
Sublime visions of life.
Where sunlight casts a yellow green,
Oh what a dream to see that sight!
What happened to the limits?
Moderation where it is needed.
There is a way, there is a will
And and action that succeeds it.
Up and up the villains they go.
No one will stop them and no one will know,
The time in which we live is filled with the villains we have created.
I miss the times when we loved
The beauty of a natural scene.
But now we crave a world of gray
And a different kind of green.

Lyrics:
Help me I’m drowning
In a dark and lonely puddle
And I don’t know how to swim
Very well.
Help me my eyes are closing
Once again,
And I’m seeping
Back to sleep.
Where my lonely troubles
Can’t reach my mind
And my burns become
blind.
So I guess it’s good
If there my pain just cannot be.
So I’ll close my eyes
And go to sleep.
I’ll go to sleep...sleep...
Help me I’m working my way
Down to skin and bone.
All the numbers seem to count
For something.
Help me I can’t find my way
back home
I’m lost,
lost and alone.
But in my dreams the world
Is bright and kind.
The nights are never terrifying.
It’s always peace of mind
And never crying.
So I guess it’s good
If there my pain just cannot be
So I’ll close my eyes
And go to sleep.
I’ll go to sleep...
...So I’ll close my eyes
and go to sleep...

Dance Til' You Drop
03:26

Lyrics:
Let’s go downtown
Go out to a show
I know a drummer with a can, we’ll stand and watch him in the glow
Hit the bar next
Go grab a drink
It might be sludge from a puddle but it’s strong enough to help me sink
The world we once knew
We’re forced bid adieu
It’s nothing brand new
We’ve had a breakthrough
No memories of days before
Let’s knock ‘em back and loose some more
My heart is beating heart til it stops
Let’s dance til we drop
Matter over mind
A revelation I can get behind
Making the most, before we’re
doing this dance in the land of the ghosts
Pointless
Waisting your days
Put your mind to use before you chose to go out in a blaze
Get your head straight
Cause It’s not all games and fun, you best
beware, it’s the air, and there’s not enough for everyone
But if I recall
The point after all
Let’s have a town hall
Discuss the protocol
The days ahead are ash and dust
So stay and see them if you must
But until You reach the final stop
Just dance til you drop
Matter over mind
A revelation I can get behind
Making the most
Before were doing this dance in the land of the ghosts
You’re days are few
you’re time is up
You can’t save all of us
You’re clock has struck
It’s time to go
We all are going down below

Lyrics:
Mama it feels like my mouth’s on fire
From the smoke in the air its a broken choir
Every voice has gone hoarse and cold and the music has been left to the days of old
Then the moment
softly spoken
She l opened her mouth to sing
Don’t know if I can trust my ears
Cause it has been so many years
With every note I am torn apart
As Josephine talks to my heart
Word spreading like a wild flame
You must hiding underground if you don’t know her name
People ask and they travel to see
Walking through dark days of dust and debris
She stands in a crowd of strangers
On the roof of a torn up car
We hold what breath we have in suspense
And we look to Joe as a shining star
And then proudly
Spoken loudly
She opened her mouth to sing
Don’t know if I can trust my ears
Cause it has been so many years
With every note I am torn apart
As Josephine talks to my heart

Lyrics:
Living my life close to the ground
Not making any waves
Not making any sound
So caught up in the past
Not living for today
I’ve learned so many words but I’ve got nothing to say
Eyes ripped open
sailing straight into the ocean
Lost my body in an instant
Now the ground’s so very distant
Fade away
When have you been?
You’ve lost the day
Blasting through the pathways of my mind
Unravel. Unlearn. Unwind.
Has it been like this forever?
Will it be like this forever?
Can you feel it?
That’s the spirit
My words can’t begin to translate
As I float back to 9.8
Looking back it seems I never knew how to feel
Was existing in real time but now time isn’t real
I’ve been unplugged another glitch in the program
I see and I feel, I think therefore I am
Listen to the soothsayer, all you know is just a layer
Look through the door when you hear the knocks
You’ve opened up Pandora’s box
Fade away
When have you been?
You’ve lost the day
Blasting through the pathways of my mind
Unravel. Unlearn. Unwind.
Has it been like this forever?
Will it be like this forever?
Can you feel it?
That’s the spirit

The Dream

Lyrics:
Quietly like the silent flicker
Of a candle it came to me.
I floated into the dream
With a lovely, subtle breeze.
And in the depths of my mind
I was met with a light—
The sun neither rising nor setting,
It was frozen in time.
The things all around me
Slowly came into view:
A lonely little lake
And hazy mountains too.
And from the peace of this world
Formed a woman with eyes like mine.
And a voice like glass said:
Oooooohhhh
Suddenly, there was a rumbling
As the world began to change
I felt the dream and the things that I was Meant to be falling into place.
And in the depths of my mind,
I was taken by surprise
As the girl that I used to hate
Grew to have the woman’s eyes.
The sun started moving
With its lovely rays,
My eyes opened wide
To see a clearer place.
I found the eyes that were mine saw
Myself in a different way.
And a voice like glass said:
Look her in the eyes,
She’s got all that you desire.
Meet yourself, the woman
You wanna be.
Look her in the eyes
She’s got all that you desire.
Meet yourself, the woman
You wanna be.

Lyrics:
Waking up late, sun is low
Feeling tired is all I know
Up & out, moving slow
Every new day is like a lethal blow
Keep on going down that road
The path in which you’ve come to love
Find your rhythmic stride
Take that stride and turn it into pride
I breathe in the day and I exhale the doubt
Sometimes I wheeze or cough up a pout
The world will happen, my response I route
Most damaged branch can begin to sprout
Keep on going down that road
The path in which you’ve come to love
Find your rhythmic stride
Take that stride and turn it into pride
