Blissful Indifference
02:35
|
|||
|
Midday sunshine breakin a sweat
Got to light a cig I'll smoke to death
Thinkin' bout the good and the bad
What clothes to wear tryin to be rad
Knockin' out some tunes about no respect
Lookin' for some buddies to join the trainwreck
Lots of noise singin about the long trek
To the mountains or the lake
We gotta get out while we're takin a break
If she's not around I won't mind
When the phones buzzin off the hook
And I'm in no shape to give it a rest
I just smile and find time to wail
Stayin' away from my own personal hell
I can confide with my friends
Talkin' to them on a whim
Why don't we get together
Plug in turn up
Get tight a few hours is about right

Forgotten Ails
03:41
|

|
They whispered tales
of forgotten ails
it was all new when
it ran them off the rails
a lesson to be learned
Lest you forget this
Hasty trip was a shilouette
Of The days when man was strong
Thought he couldn't do any wrong
Left the man in the sky smilin
Wasn't long before it crashed
Like a twin engine plane
with one burnin' out
Ego had won and selfishness
A marathon had been run
Help us strike us down
With spite no reason to the plight
Self satisfaction and undue reaction
Pleasure dome shining like polished chrome
The lesson I said
was easy to master
A commander in society
All collasped thereafter
Left with the words of green and blue

Have I Seen Your Face?
04:04
|
|||
|
when i see your face
its not really a fuss
but i thought it was
a must to let you
flitter by to get
in my way
your own crazy ray
listen as the whistle
sounds round
gettin past my ears
a fallen grace of
thoughts well phrased
traced an untimely space
stop to soak
upon your visage
givin me the warmth
to keep movin
the groove entombin'
candlewax
and drawn drapes
eassy sure is
as you meaning succumbed
no sense or use
in gettin too comfy
spun off your
easy lackadaize
blissffully distraught
drippin of metaphor
and paramount

Psyche Aphrodite
03:21
|

|
stupid interactions phasing out
pointless inhibitions shaking about
all what you wanted shouted loud
our dreams just seemed to
get snuffed out
lying on a bed of nails comforting
pain is a gain lock out
move out of town before
the walls cave in
we're resenting life itself
it's rotten for our mental health
call a shrink don't stop to think
your problems aren't your own
music never seemed so interesting
a way to get your misery
set to a catchy ring
who all wants to sing with me?
i'm always certain i'll be
put in front of a circus
a clown with a purpose
leave your pain to entertain
we're resenting life itself
it's rotten for our mental health
call a shrink don't stop to think
your problems aren't your own

Lies n' Fakin'
03:41
|
|||
|
by the easier craze
we found our solace
the lies overtook
what controled us
why we were staking
everything to get you
to know
once before that it's
twice as hard when
not a clue was given
to you by the winds
that be
befoer you give it up
i sure would like
to tell you one more time
like to fall apart
before the daybreak
once again
subtle whisper
of the rest thats peaceful
underlies a foe
to keep you on your toe
put every feelin i had
in the generator
mind clean think anew
wipe the whitewalls clean
befoer you give it up
i sure would like
to tell you one more time
like to fall apart
before the daybreak
once again

Round The Hills We Go
04:40
|
|||
|
shady days gone by
reap what you sow
ditch the false pride
once preachin' by design
seems the geometry fit tight
round the hills we go
always movin' never slow
mountain climbin
getting high remindin'
of the new days
except the ladies just
seemed to sneer
their only vanity
covered with veneer
youre out of my league
and i'm reminded why
i stopping living a lie
my how the time does fly
put on my boots and jeans
ego coated with aniline dye
i'll certainly
catch you sometime soon

Twenty Vices
04:22
|
|||
|
mystic lingering rays
a touch upon your face
it's the only good
yet deep inside
a feeling you've been had
perfection was a dream
and here we kneel
abiding by the morals
hold them dear
just a bad ol boy
twenty vices
left all annoyed
when you gonna learn
after actions bid you farewell
it's to soon to tell
pick the verse
live to end up
in the back of a hearse
the noise and noise
burns my ears
smash everything to bits
holes in every wall
just a bad ol boy
twenty vices
left all annoyed
when you gonna learn
i'm done thinking
the cup's somewhat filled
and when i'm gone
surely just will start again

Eternity's Line
03:38
|
|||
|
Said you're mourning
Seems we can't seem to be
Morphing
As a sentient
Walker, tired but never yawning
As it closes
And you're left in the wake
Of eternity's line
How can you ever
Waste that time?
Oh you sigh
Inking your feelings
Cross the borderline
Sad shadow
Never once stop to catch a breath
Pay no minding
To the old rusty chair
Under the awning
You used to sit and stare
Every house was but your own
Wasted rooms left cast in stone
And the words on the scrolls
Stained bloody red
Melody hath no ending
Like the tall tales passed
By the men of the land
The still pictures
Only a ghost of knowing

A Love Kept At Bay
05:31
|
|||
|
hey baby
i want you next to me
i wanna see your face
when i wake up
in the mornin' time
you're drivin me mad
well you say it's allright
you won't answer when i call
and the love letter i wrote
was lost and i felt serene
but it's okay
what you want will lead you astray
and i'm not really sad
to see this light turnin' grey
well the shadows way
like the skeleton
of a love kept at bay
a spider crawlin
lookin for the next filet
i'll just hang it up
and when you see me
with another like your kind
youll once again think
im hot stuff
but it's okay
what you want will lead you astray
and i'm not really sad
to see this light turnin' grey

Picture Perfect
02:35
|
|||
|
everything was perfect
everything was great
except for your dealer
makin you wait
makin you wait
your life was a picture
cut into slate
the painting you make
the color is faint
the color is faint
filter your life view
the flashes of light
a short fuse
everything to lose
nothing to choose
simple yet perfect
the negatives expose
your soul is foreclosed
and on you doze
on your dose
polyphonic prose
sardonic à la mode
stealing for comfort
can't get any number (how a lie is so numbing, is so numbing)
get any number

The Ways of Sin
02:27
|
|||
|
Yeah when you're talkin
I can't grab anything
Advice you been sayin'
Dragons and slayin'
Devilish grin and
The ways of sin
Got you entranced
Living the way you been
Such hard dues get you pinned
And you're only lookin
For the way to get past
The next fork in the way
It's time's paradox
Quite a bargain
To knock off the age
The drink and pills
Seemed to crave
I've seen you makin amends
upon which your life depends
The old dog's died
And I've caught a bug
Childhood's ways
Seemed to run amuck
Stop gettin' lifted
Your soul will seek
Only the means
To make your life
You start to geek
And thoroughly freak
And you're only lookin
For the way to get past
The next fork in the way
To time's paradox
I've seen you makin amends
upon which your life depends
It's quite a bargain
To knock off the age
The drink and pills
Seemed to crave

Transparent Projection
04:12
|
|||
|
I was transparent
and your projection
was arrogant as
the elegant profession
you took a cross section
of a theme to play out
good lookin embarrased
you forgot the way
was to let me tell you
with your eyes of steel blue
oh, lets grab another
cigarette
and chill out like it's
just another lazy day
set in my ways with you (a sharp)
dont have to try too hard
when things go bad ill try
to avoid the nearest bar
and hold you
all the glittery decour
in the world couldn't make you
give up the ties that break your
soul and all the things
that got old
all the things that get sold
by your search for another
way to not feel so old
cant stop that habit
oh, lets grab another
cigarette
and chill out like it's
just another lazy day
set in my ways with you (a sharp)

The Rhyme of Nonsense
05:44
|
|||
|
Child of innocence
Floating on the bay
on the brink of an idea
He's as old as your mind's
Been sold to the technological
Rap computer god
His peace is somethin' you might find
Never, if you never tried
And only you, are out there
Laughin' to keep from dying
Of the lonely fright
You see me in the future
Maybe from the past
Our brains a truth serum
of delight , I said
---- pre chorus ----
I'm killing myself
And I don't feel bad about it
Dreams that are hopeless
I can steal the solution
And when I get the answer
You know
It's the death of reason, the rhyme of nonsense
--- chorus ---
And we'll all get sold
By the lies untold
Hang it up
You'll get another time
Mistakes are only
The way to freedom
--- post chorus verse ---
You smell like perfume
But you're not wearin' nothin
At all
I'm lost dreamin' on a ten year ride
The wheels will turn, but I'm bent up inside
Tell you once again
Before I finish this song
Get back to my Mallinckrodt
You know
We all need somethin' to get high on
I got to be alone
Before I see the light
Maybe you're drinkin
And I can sing you this tune
