Lifeline

I ain’t afraid of your lies, I ain’t afraid of your lifeline, cuts me down to size
I’m gonna roll the dice, I’m gonna hold your lifeline, I will pay the price
You don’t own me, and I don’t own you
I’ll figure it out, the way out is through
Wearing your disguise, tangled up in your lifeline, see it in your eyes
Used to be so nice, bound up in your lifeline, now nothing will suffice
I ain’t afraid of your lies, I ain’t afraid of your lifeline, cuts me down to size
I’m gonna roll the dice, I’m gonna hold your lifeline, I will pay the price
Thought I was so wise, clinging to your lifeline, eventually love dies
My head is in a vice, thinkin bout your lifeline, tired of the fights
I ain’t afraid of your lies, I ain’t afraid of your lifeline, cuts me down to size
I’m gonna roll the dice, I’m gonna hold your lifeline, I will pay the price
You don’t own me, and I don’t own you
I’ll figure it out, the way out is through

At The Sun

At the sun, that's my line of sight
Birds on the wing, watch as we take flight
Random lightning flash burns away the night
Focus on a far off constellation
And the stars in this world are extraordinary
As the world turns below our dark trajectory
At the sun, round and back again
Don't know where I am and I can't say when
Till the sky turns to fire and I'll know then
Focus on an eternal question
And the stars in this world are extraordinary
As the world turns below our dark trajectory
And the event horizon approaches again
Then the sun melts away
Night flight
In an ocean of gold
Till the stars go out
And the sky turns light

The Bubble 2.0
04:33
|

Wish I may, well hidden from the light - Blaze like a star across the sea of night
Wish I might, so hunt by light of day - No time to rest with dragons yet to slay
There'll be time in the bubble for us all - Disconnected fireflies floating down the hall
Carve the bone into a weather vane - Sink like a stone into the astral plane
Speak the name and huddle by the fire - Raise a glass and drink to your desire
There'll be time in the bubble for us all - Disconnected fireflies floating down the hall
Cry aloud, a voice among the choir - Simple notes played upon the lyre
Set adrift beneath a crystal ocean - Lost at sea drowning in emotion
There'll be time in the bubble for us all - Disconnected fireflies floating down the hall

Everything I want is mine, just sign it on the dotted line
Just print more cash to make the payments on time, the rest of the world won’t mind
Sharing is for hippies and losers, caring is for hippies and losers
Sharing is for hippies and losers, which are you? A hippie or a loser?
Everything I see is mine, from the pole to the equator line
And if I get there telling great big lies, the rest of the world won’t mind
Sharing is for hippies and losers, caring is for hippies and losers
Sharing is for hippies and losers, which are you? A hippie or a loser?
Sharing is for hippies and losers, caring is for hippies and losers
Sharing is for hippies and losers, caring is for hippies and losers
Sharing is for hippies and losers, caring is for hippies and losers
Sharing is for hippies and losers, which are you? A hippie or a loser?
Loser Loser Loser Loser Loser Loser Loser

The Turning Pool

No time to get it done, I got three cigarettes and a stick of gum
I don’t know where the money went, I got no side mirror the antenna’s bent
No bullets and a rusty gun, I’m gonna drive due west to the setting sun
Hear shouts and broken glass, oh this goddamned day just kicked my ass
The turning wheel will spin you round, Take you up into the clouds
The turning pool will drag you down, into a world devoid of sound
The turning wheel will spin you round, Bring you up and right back down
The turning pool will drag you down, into a world devoid of sound
Travel hard to reach the goal, to inspire and spark the soul
Talent seems to serve you well, good intentions the way to Hell
The turning wheel will spin you round, Bring you up and right back down
The turning pool will drag you down, into a world devoid of sound
My thoughts move so fast, gonna catch an idea as it whizzes past
You know I’m the champion, of stretching myself out way too thin
Gotta find a way at last, to make a big score and grab that stash
Don’t mind being on the run, but I’m getting pretty tired and it ain’t no fun
The turning wheel will spin you round, Take you up into the clouds
The turning pool will drag you down, into a world devoid of sound
The turning wheel will spin you round, Bring you up and right back down
The turning pool will drag you down, into a world devoid of sound
Travel hard to reach the goal, to inspire and spark the soul
Talent seems to serve you well, good intentions the way to Hell
The turning wheel will spin you round, Bring you up and right back down
The turning pool will drag you down, into a world devoid of sound
So many people that I should elude, while living off of gas station food
I got a friend outside of town, who’s got a good place I can hunker down
Bag of noodles and the coffee’s brewed, I’m watchin TV and I know I’m screwed
On the news I look and see, a picture of myself staring back at me
The turning wheel will spin you round, Take you up into the clouds
The turning pool will drag you down, into a world devoid of sound
The turning wheel will spin you round, Bring you up and right back down
The turning pool will drag you down, into a world devoid of sound
Travel hard to reach the goal, to inspire and spark the soul
Talent seems to serve you well, good intentions the way to Hell
The turning wheel will spin you round, Bring you up and right back down
The turning pool will drag you down, into a world devoid of sound

Do not trouble trouble till trouble troubles you
That's what my mama said to me
If you can't abide it then then you should step aside
'Cause that's the safest place to be
Do not trouble trouble till trouble troubles you
It sounds like good advice to me
If you're seeing trouble just run right on the double
I'll tell you what the game's to be
You had a plan to extend your hand
The most perfect mark you'd ever seen
Daddy's girl on the bus to town
At the tender age of seventeen
So you took her back to you temporary pad
Expecting to get something for free
But she took your clothes and that money you owe
To that New York family... Oh, No... Oh, no
Come up from the bottom the bottom's where you're headed
You're such a sad sight to see
Always out there searching when working's what it takes
Nothing in this world is free
A scammer's always scamming and losing more than making
And never fooling anybody
Just pick a new direction don't need to be perfection
You're not some fat celebrity
Found face down in the middle of town
At a bar called the High and Low
You'll wind up dead unless you find some bread
To pay off the debt you owe
You begin to feel when the tires squeal
That it might be time to go
So you drink one more and head for the door
And see that girl you used to know... Aw, Hell... Aw, Hell

Wishes Like Wine

Well I'm lookin', like I'm feelin'
But I know that I'm on my way
Up the stairs and out the front door
Into the light of day
Slowly driftin', now I'm dreamin'
You can tell when I roll my eyes
Slowly driftin', now I'm dreamin'
I have adventures when I sleep
Makin' wishes like the wine I'm drinkin'
So sweet and full of life
I can taste it, comin' to me
On the tip of my tongue
You keep pushin', I keep resisting
I can't be what you want me to be
You keep pushin', I keep resisting
I can only manage how I am
You know I'm watchin' what I'm sayin'
I can tell you honestly
So much hinges on this decision
I should be scared but I cannot wait
Fancy driving, now I'm flying
Gonna' hit it runnin' when I land
Some fancy drivin' and now I'm flyin'
Put my feet back on the ground

Time to tell a story of a warped “iology”
From a man who had a stump for a family tree
Whispered In my ear with a sickening lurch
He just got back from burning down the local church
Why did you do that? You know it’s against the law
Crossed over the line boy, now tell me what else you saw
And I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t fascinated
It doesn’t mean I think his actions should be advocated
And honestly I was surprised when he up and stated
That organized religion should be taxed or abrogated (What!?!)
Doubt that he’ll ever understand at all
There’ll never be a jury that won’t see him fall
He smiles like an angel with a Devil’s tail
Sets off the dynamite at the local jail
Why did you do that? You know it’s against the law
Crossed over the line boy, now tell me what else you saw
And I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t fascinated
It doesn’t mean I think his actions should be advocated
And honestly I was surprised when he up and stated
That the justice system was so highly overrated (What!?!)
The law met demands when they hunted him down
Put the bullets in him and he fell to the ground
I asked him what he wanted as he bled in the sand
He dropped a piece of paper that he held in his hand
Why did you do that? You know it’s against the law
Crossed over the line boy, now tell me what else you saw
To see the city from the top of the spire, that’s a sight that I desire
(Look down upon the city, from up upon the spire)

In the midst of the warning signs, the oppressed try to save their lives
Can you feel the storm approach, pleas for help met with strong reproach
And I try to retain mental focus
But the centre just cannot hold
Thoughts you cherish and words of wisdom
Thrown with guile out into the cold
So easy to believe the lies, shut your ears and close your eyes
Death rides on a horse of white, stoking fires in the dead of night
Time’s an illusion, in this world of confusion
Love and inclusion, not a burden or intrusion
Search for calm in a sweet refrain, soothing words to ease the pain
Throat aches with an awful thirst, the fragile dream is soon dispersed
So I try to be more understanding
With anarchy loosed upon this poor world
And tyranny used as a safety blanket
Wrapped up in faith and a grand flag unfurled
So easy to believe the lies, shut your ears and close your eyes
Death rides on a horse of white, stoking fires in the dead of night
Time’s an illusion, in this world of confusion
Love and inclusion, not a burden or intrusion
Is there hope we can find a path, past this rage and righteous wrath
To shared ideas and noble goals, with open hearts and unfettered souls
Can we commit ourselves to moving forward
So that our innocence need not be drowned
Can we find what we have all been missing
And help the lost so that we can be found
So easy to believe the lies, shut your ears and close your eyes
Death rides on a horse of white, stoking fires in the dead of night
Time’s an illusion, in this world of confusion
Love and inclusion, not a burden or intrusion
Know that time’s an illusion, in this world of confusion
And it’s love and inclusion, not a burden or intrusion
