Flicker

Words - Couling (heyshutupmusic), Music - Sewell (Lucidmusic).

TV is a crutch for those who can't afford drugs.

a dim flicker on the t.v. screen

and a smile that reeks of plastic sheen

full of speech should be deemed obscene

melting in the glare of a ton of brill-cream

a dim flicker as the screen goes on

just for a moment but now it's gone

is he a leader or a parolled ex-con

we watch a new commercial for improved exxon

chorus:

tell me the lies

millions die

sad affair

no one cares

and the president receives fellatio

and he quotes new overpopulation ratio

then he tells you how to drive and how to go

and he tells you what's new with the status quo

a preacher tells you of a living God

one hand on the cross one on your credit card

two years arrested for felonious band fraud

you'll just scratch your head and think it's odd

chorus

new disease rolls out of Africa

population in mass hysteria

won't be anything left of you or mom

another explosion of the human bomb

you'll start to think and wonder why

they won't care enough to cry

at least until you start to die

have another bite of a poison pie

Dead Room eyes

Words and Music - Sewell (Lucidmusic)

The hopelessness of the addict and the indifference of the public

The ocean in her veins

mingles with the ocean of her pain

She always sleeps alone

savors the chill deep in her bones

She won't tell you how she feels

She can only talk about the weather

There's no time for trivialities

And her tongue dries like leather

CHORUS:I can't stand it

A soul's too easy to bare

She's got deadroom eyes

And no one seems to care

Mescaline is her only friend

SHe forgets the problems she needs to mend

She makes sure nothing is left behind

in the caverns of her mind

She can't sleep with the light off

She doesn't trust the neighbors

She keeps her shutters closed

and does nobody favors

CHORUS (x2)

Trophy Wife

Words - Couling (heyshutupmusic), Music - Sewell (Lucidmusic)

Ted Nugent's worst nightmare.

Big man with the weapon of death

big hands suffocating the breath

big noise as the muzzle explodes

big fall small change in the world

big trophy handed to you

big changes in store for the world

another species gone forever

another step toward the never

big beast lays bleeding life

nice coat for your trophy wife

look at the tv, shake my head

another day closer to being dead

chourus:just wait you'll see revenge

as the beast now hunts the man

big change in the hunter's plan

the weapon's in the other hand

big changes big noise

big changes big noise

Your Mirror

Words and Music - Sewell (Lucidmusic)

Life is tough; you have to look deep inside and find your strength. . .

Look at the boy

See the blood stain his hands

Look at his eyes

See the rage burning there

Look at the girl

See the claw marks on her back

Look into her eyes

And see the void staring back

Chorus

This is your mirror with all its cracks

An unflinching view into brilliant light

A grip on the lives of everyone

This is your mirror and it tells no lies

Look at the boy

See the gun in his fist

Look into his eyes

And see the prison he survives in

Look at the girl

See the aura around her head

Look into her eyes

Watch your salvation open wide

Chorus

This is your mirror with all its cracks

An unflinching view into brilliant light

A grip on the lives of everyone

This is your mirror and it tells no lies

Definition of a Friend

Words - Couling (heyshutupmusic) Music - Sewell (Lucidmusic)

This song is dedicated to the memory of Oren Krumm. An inspiration, a lesson, a friend to everyone.

White hands clench slowly, and then they release me

when all the oceans roll again, the definition of a friend

so hard to say goodbye again

I watch you as you slowly move away

wonder if i'll be able to smile today

but somehow i'll keep a flame alive, somehow i will let a dream survive

the definition of a friend, so hard to say goodbye again...

Smile for me and make me laugh, we've cried to much already

I hope when the end comes for me I will still be steady

I feel your presence near me, when you are far away

I keep your smile inside my heart, where it will always stay

The time that we spent nothing could take away

ignore the weather, sunny inside today.

Ronald McReagan

Words-Couling (heyshutupmusic) Music - Couling, Sewell (heyshutupmusic, Lucidmusic)

This is the "Shirley Temple on Angel Dust" song. . .

He talks to me in my head

When i am sad or alone

He is my good friend, and keeps me from killing you

He tells me secrets, that no else knows

Like where you money is, where you go without clothes

Chorus

I am so lonely, will you be my friend?

I'm laughing, I'm laughing

as you meet your end

It's all for real and I don't play pretend

This is how, this is how you meet your end

So if you see me, talking to my head

Just walk on by so you don't end up dead

So if you see me, talking to my head

Just walk on by so you don't end up dead

Chorus

I am so lonely, will you be my friend?

I'm laughing, I'm laughing as you meet your end

It's now for real and I don't play pretend

This is how, this is how you meet your end

My one complaint at night or at day

Mommy says "please keep the demons away"

But with your blood or your guts I will play

All of the night and all of the day

Ronald McReagan they say is my name

I seek the money, I seek the fame

If you don't see me I think it's a shame

Just keep on laughing as I bring the pain

Black Willow:

Words-Couling, Sewell (heyshutupmusic/Lucidmusic) Music - Sewell (Lucidmusic)

Someone's gotta write this stuff now that Soundgarden's broke up. . .

She lays her eggs inside my head

Then slowly crawls back to the dead

I never sleep, my mouth is dry

It masticates, Larva inside

Black willow drooping low

Moss hanging from the branch

Fog covers every inch

Sufforcates every chance

CHORUS

The rain comes down

The mud starts to boil

The sad ones are here

No where to go

She cracks her fingers, rolls the bones

Scream every night and wake up alone

I cannot feel, so null and void

The change inside now insectoid

Owl swoops down, hunting night

Water rises, drowns the light

Vision fading into black

Endless night, no way back

CHORUS

Come, Black WIllow, and help me weep

The soul inside not mine to keep

Under your leaves I make my bed

To battle the demons in my head

In your shade I will drink

Nevermore shall I think

She has won my soul's prize

I see through insect eyes

CHORUS

Make A Difference

Words - Couling, Sewell (heyshutupmusic/Lucidmusic)Music - Sewell, Baldridge (Lucidmusic)

Our time here is short, so live life to the fullest and be the best person you can be.

You keep standing on the feet of the people underneath you

You cannotmove except to creep, try so hard not to sleep now

You keep praying everyday, God stays so far away

You only wish for a friend, Keep on hoping for the end of silence

You cry when no one else is around, to listen to the sound of crying

You blame everybody else, only think about yourself now

You die sad and all alone, laid to rest, cold as stone

CHORUS

Wasted chances/Wasted life

Years of crying/Years of strife

Then you're gone/ With all your fear

Make a difference/ While you're here

You wanna know what life's about, we have to help each other out

Your chain is forged by your own will, It's your choice to sit and be still now

Once is all we ever have, No chance to turn the lathe of heaven

You can end your misery, open the door and you are free now

You can laugh, you can scream, Life is made of all our dreams

Strength comes from facing fear, Do all you can while you're still here

You can stand for all that's right, stay alive to join the fight now

CHORUS

Poisoning the River

Words - Couling, Sewell (heyshutupmusic, Lucidmusic),Music - Couling, Sewell, Baldridge (heyshutupmusic,Lucidmusic, Ashley Baldridge)

We need to stop kidding ourselves about the environment right now.

In the quiet blue morning, she whispers, she whispers

As she sings a sad song, she shivers, she shivers,

In the quiet new morning, she's dying, she's dying

We've ignored all the tears she's crying, she's crying

CHORUS: Poisoning the river, poisoning the sky

Sorrow when it happens, watch our mother die

The wind, our eulogy, our ghost in it's sigh

Will there be no one left

laughing at our cries

In the dark blue desert, she's hiding, she's hiding

In the crest of the hills, surviving, surviving

We can change if we try, there's still time, there's still time

We can stop, our blind plan and stay alive, stay alive

CHORUS: Poisoning the river, poisoning the sky

Sorrow when it happens, watch our mother die

The wind, our eulogy, our ghost in it's sigh

Will there be no one left

laughing at our cries

BRIDGE: No air to breath

Nothing to eat

Nothing to drink

No where to run

Nothing remains

We've gone insane

We've gone insane

We've gone insane

We've gone insane

Outro : Can it stop Will it stop

Can it stop Will it stop

Can it stop Will it stop

Can it stop Will it stop

Can it stop Will it stop

Parasite

Words: Brown (mel b music) Music: Sewell (Lucidmusic)

If you think you're better than others, then you never loooked in the mirror.

Petty rich bastards who judge my life

Cut the shit, you think you're right?

Stand up tall and squint your eyes

At what you call a parasite

'Cuz I know it's all an act

I take away your stack, you're jacked

Would you play your cruel games

If you were on the other end?

Condescension, a family trait

A bullshit reason for you to hate

You'll never try to figure me out

Just label, chew and spit me out

CHORUS:

Your life exists for status, greed

Clone descendants of the same damn seed

You'll grow up and continue on

Continue the cycle, generations gone wrong

Classified without a word

Harsh judgements made without being heard

Fuck your scene, I don't want in

The walls you build, the words you spin

I won't hold my life to your critique

It's not what I have, It's how I think

I stand Alone atop the mound

You're soft beneath the ground

And in the dust I see you bleed

Scarred, buried, ruined by greed

CHORUS:
