Lifethreatening Lifestyles - System of a Down lyrics
from the album "System of a Down"
SUITE-PEE
I had an out of body experience the other day, her name was Jesus, and for her everyone cried.
Try her philosophy, you die for her philosophy.
Crossed and terrored, ravages of architecture, lend me thy blades.
We're crossed and terrored, ravages of architecture, hoist around the spade.
Try her philosophy, you die for her philosophy.
Lie naked on the floor and let the Messiah go all through our souls.
Die like a motherfucker.
I want to fuck my way to the garden, cause everyone needs a motherfucker.
The following of a Christ, the falling of Christ.
KNOW
Cursed earth.
I will never feed off the evergreen lustre of your heart
All because we all live in the valley of the walls.
When they speak we can peek from the windows of their mouths
To see the land, the women chant as they fly up to the sun.
You never think you know why, ever think you know why.
Books all say different things, while people flap their yellow wings,
Trying to soar, being a whore of life and almost everything.
The sheep that ran off from the herd may be dead, but now is a bird,
Able to fly, able to die, able to fuck your mother's earth.
You never think you know why, ever think you know why.
On the other side.
Do you ever try to fly? Have you ever wanted to die?
Don't ever try to fly unless you leave your body on the other side.
Did you ever try to die?
You never think you know why, ever think you know why.
SUGAR
The kombucha mushroom people, sitting around all day.
Who can believe you? Let your mother pray. (sugar)
I'm not there all the time, you know, some people call it insane.
I play Russian roulette every day, a man's sport, with a bullet called life.
You know that every time I try to go where I really want to be,
It's already where I am, cause I'm already there.
The kombucha mushroom people, sitting around all day.
Who can believe you? Let your mother pray. (sugar)
I got a gun the other day from Sako, it's cute, it's small, it fits right in my pocket.
My girl, you know, she lashes out at me sometimes,
And I just fucking kick her, and then, oh baby, she's okay.
People are always chasing me down, trying to push my face to the ground,
Where all they really want to do is suck out my motherfucking brains.
The kombucha mushroom people, sitting around all day.
Who can believe you? Let your mother pray.
I sit in my desolate room, no lights, no music, just anger.
I've killed everyone, I'm away forever, but I'm feeling better.
How do I feel? What do I say? Fuck you, it all goes away.
In the end it all goes away.
SUGGESTIONS
Watching from a post up high, from where you see the ships afar,
From a well trained eye, the waves all keep on crashing by.
If you are the lightpost, then you own the working class,
But if you want the answers, you better give a piece of ass.
Warning, post hypnotic suggestions, running the ships ashore.
The orange light that follows will soon proclaim itself a god.
If you point your questions, the fog will surely chew you up,
But if you want the answers, you better get ready for the fire.
The ships are multiplying day after day, sir, and they're coming close to the shore, sir.
We need to evacuate the lightpost, it's all over.
SPIDERS
The piercing radiant moon, the storming of poor June,
All the life running through her hair.
Approaching guiding light, our shallow years in fright,
Dreams are made winding through my head.
Before you know, awake.
Your lives are open wide, the V-chip gives them sight
Of all the life running through her hair.
The spiders all in tune, the evening of the moon,
Dreams are made winding through my head.
Before you know, awake.
Before you know, I will be waiting, all awake.
Dreams are made winding through her hair.
DDEVIL
Plagiarised existence exist among the writers of the word, shake your spear at Shakespeare.
Loud and noisy, strong refrigerators, gaining independence.
Stupid people do stupid things, smart people outsmart each other, then themselves.
Take me down there, photographic relapse, people feeding frenzy, the devil is so lovely.
My blue moon rivets in exits, forewarned customary spirits, by myself.
Take me down there, photographic relapse, people feeding frenzy, the devil is so lovely.
SOIL
The phoenix he helped create, out of control boy without a dad,
Shot the gun that startled my life, while I drove him with a forty-five.
Friends for years, images in red, blew off his own motherfucking head.
Confidence, death, insecurity, the men fall unrealised.
Making a decision of death, while everyone around you pled.
Now you fly in peace, I hope, my friend.
A man can't avoid what he's meant to do, when he's meant to do it,
Even if he doesn't really want to.
My memories are of fun and friendship, of weakness within the strength of youth,
For reasons undefined.
Friends for years, images in red, blew off his own motherfucking head.
Confidence, death, insecurity, the men fall unrealised.
Don't you realise that evil lives in the motherfucking skin?
Why the fuck did you take him away from us, you motherfucker?
WAR?
Dark is the light, the men you fight, with all your prayers, incantations,
Running away, a trivial day of judgement and deliverance.
To whom was sold this bounty soul, a gentile or a priest?
Who victored over the Seljuks when the holy land was taken?
We will fight the heathens.
Was it the riches of the land, powers of bright darkness,
That led the noble to the East to fight the heathens?
We will fight the heathens.
We must call upon our bright darkness, beliefs, they're the bullets of the wicked.
One was written on the sword, for you must enter a room to destroy it.
No international security, the call of the righteous man,
Needs a reason to kill man, history teaches us so,
The reason he must attain must be approved by his god,
His child, partisan brother of war, w don't speak anymore of war.
We will fight the heathens.
MIND
Oh baby, come close to me, let me love you.
Oh baby, come close to me, let me feel you.
Look at each other.
Go away.
The mutually, mentally molested children of a mother,
Mutually, mentally molested children of sin.
Oh no, the ever so popular beating that took you under,
Oh no, the ever so popular beating that broke your skin.
(Free thinkers are dangerous.)
Blame, hate, for fate's seed.
Go away.
Well, you need the ones you love, love the ones that you need,
Need the ones you love and love the ones you bleed.
Lives rearranged and lives in my range, can you see?
(Free thinkers are dangerous.)
Blame, hate, for fate's seed.
Gonna let you motherfuckers die.
Look at each other.
PEEPHOLE
When your stars are baked and your rivers fly, do you ever believe you were stuck in the sky?
When your castle breaks and your feet are dry, do you ever believe you were stuck in the sky?
Do you believe when you're high that your life is tried?
Don't you ever get stuck in the sky, don't ever get stuck in the sky when you're high.
When your moon is fake and your mermaids cry, do you ever believe you were stuck in the sky?
When your tunnel fades and your guide is shy, do you ever believe you were stuck in the sky?
Do you believe when you're high that your life is tried?
Don't you ever get stuck in the sky, don't ever get stuck in the sky when you're high.
CUBErt
Preflight delight, defaced street lights, a pyramid mind fuck, don't leave your seats now.
Popcorn everywhere canned, cliché people organs rare,
Corn everywhere canned, cliché people cannot dare.
I want to be a fallen ruby, guest vibrations, don't leave your seats now.
Humans everywhere canned, cliché people organs rare.
Humans everywhere canned, cliché people cannot dare.
DARTS
May I please remain in this space? For darts screech by my desires.
Art thou not human man? Not human man art thou.
Lifethreatening lifestyles, a hitman, a nun, lovers.
Arise as did the gods Ninti and Ishkur.
Clock men, for they will fail.
Fear not the gods that come from the sky.
Long not for the one who've lost their way.
Arise as did the gods Ninti and Ishkur, motherfucker.
P.L.U.C.K. (Politically Lying, Unholy, Cowardly Killers)
Elimination, die, why, walk down.
A whole race genocide, taken away all of our pride.
A whole race genocide, taken away, watch them all fall down.
Revolution, the only solution, the armed response of an entire nation.
Revolution, the only solution, we've taken all your shit, now it's time for restitution.
Recognition, restoration, reparation, watch them all fall down.
Revolution, the only solution, the armed response of an entire nation.
Revolution, the only solution, we've taken all your shit, now it's time for restitution.
(Never want to see you around.)
The plan was mastered and called genocide.
We took all the children and then we died.
The few that remained were never found, all in a system down.
from the soundtrack to “Heavy Metal 2000”
STORAGED
The spine, a line, the foetus is mine, don't forget me.
Revolt, revolution, counter-revolution, counter-counter-revolution.
The mind that feeds the blind and helps you find and makes you bind.
The game is on.
The spine, a line, the foetus is mine.
A life denied, comatosis, comment on my word, my words define the line.
Revolution, counter-revolution, counter-counter-revolution,
Solution disillusioned by pollution, resolution starting with
The spine, a line, the foetus is mine.
from the soundtrack to "Dracula 2000"
METRO
I'm alone, sitting with my broken glass, my four walls follow me through my past.
I was on a Paris train, I emerged in London rain,
And you waiting there, swimming through apologies.
I remember searching for the perfect words, I was hoping you might change your mind.
I remember a soldier standing next to me, riding on the metro.
I walked smiling as you took my hand, so removed we spoke in France.
You were past the shallow word, years have passed, there's still a hurt.
I can see you now, smiling as I pulled away, sorry.
I remember the letter, wrinkled in my hand, 'I'll love you always' filled my eyes.
I remember the night we walked along the Seine, riding on the metro.
I remember a feeling coming over me, the soldier turned then walked away.
Fuck you for loving me, riding on the metro.
from the soundtrack to "Dee Snider's Strangeland"
MARMALADE
Stretching, filing against her skin, blessed are those who are not kin,
In sin we breathe, in sex we tie, duck tape her legs to the red sky.
Foolsome flesh allowances, the pansies raided the pantry of
Gabardine dreams, promiscuous delight, deny not the flavour,
Custard dreams, abusing, musing, marmalade flesh, naked spread am I.
Actors of the tragic phantom, extend your legs for great Saturn,
Brown tabletops scream for cover at the sight of your new lover.
If today I die and can't deny the poison chosen for tonight.
Borrowed dreams, hollowed reveries, metal pillows, pewter yellows,
Furry roadkill, house on the hill, pouring gravy on her thighs still.
If today I die and can't deny the poison chosen for tonight.
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA
Link, he'll come to town, come to save the Princess Zelda.
Ganon took her away, now the children don't play,
But they will when Link saves the day, hallelujah!
Now Link, fill up your hearts so you can shoot your sword with power,
And when you're feeling all down, the faerie will come around,
So you'll be brave, and not a sissy coward.
Now Link has saved the day, put Ganon in his grave.
So now Zelda is free and now our hero shall be.
Link, I think your name shall go down into history.
from the album "Toxicity"
PRISON SONG
They’re trying to build a prison.
Following the rights movement you clamped on with your iron fists.
Drugs became conveniently available for all the kids.
I buy my crack, my smack, my bitch right here in Hollywood.
(Nearly two million Americans are incarcerated in the prison system of the U.S.)
They’re trying to build a prison for you and me to live in.
Another prison system for you and me.
Minor drug offenders fill your prisons, you don’t even flinch.
All our taxes paying for your wars against the new nonrich.
I buy my crack, my smack, my bitch right here in Hollywood.
(The percentage of Americans in the prison system has doubled since 1985.)
They’re trying to build a prison for you and me to live in.
Another prison system for you and me.
All research and successful drug policy shows that treatment should be increased
And law enforcement decreased while abolishing mandatory minimum sentences.
Utilising drugs to pay for secret wars around the world,
Drugs are now your global policy, now you police the globe.
I buy my crack, my smack, my bitch right here in Hollywood.
(Drug money is used to rig elections
and train brutal corporate sponsored dictators around the world.)
They’re trying to build a prison for you and me to live in.
Another prison system for you and me.
NEEDLES
I cannot disguise all the stomach pains and the walking of the canes.
When you do come out and you whisper up to me in your life of tragedy,
But I cannot grow til you eat the last of me, when will I be free?
And you, a parasite, just find another host, just another fool to roast,
Cause you, my tapeworm tells me what to do, my tapeworm tells me where to go.
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass.
I cannot deny all the evil traits and the filling of the crates.
When you do come out and you slither up to me in your pimping majesty,
But I cannot grow til you eat the last of me, when will I be free?
And you, a parasite, just find another host, just another stool to post,
Cause you, my tapeworm tells me what to do, my tapeworm tells me where to go.
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass, pull the tapeworm out of me.
I’m sitting in my room with a needle in my hand, waiting for the tomb of some old dying man.
DEER DANCE
Circumventing circuses, lamenting in protest to visible police, present-sponsored fear.
Battalions of riot police with rubber bullet kisses, baton courtesy, service with a smile.
Beyond the Staples Center you can see America with its tired poor avenging disgrace,
Peaceful loving youth against the brutality of plastic existence.
Pushing little children with their fully automatics, they like to push the weak around.
A rush of words, pleading to disperse upon your naked walls, alive.
A political call, the fall guy accord, we can’t afford to be neutral on a moving train.
Beyond the Staples Center you can see America with its tired poor avenging disgrace,
Peaceful loving youth against the brutality of plastic existence.
Pushing little children with their fully automatics, they like to push the weak around.
A deer dance, invitation to peace, war staring you in the face, dressed in black,
With a helmet, fierce, trained and appropriate for the disproportioned malcontents.
The little boy smiled, it’ll all be well.
JET PILOT
Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot, one that smiled when he flew over the bay.
My horse is a shackled old man.
His remorse was that he couldn’t survey the skies right before they went grey.
My horse and my remorse, flying over a great bay.
Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot, one that smiled when he flew over the bay.
My source is the source of all creation.
Her discourse is that we all don’t survey the skies right before they go grey.
My source and my remorse, flying over a great bay.
Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot,
One that smiled when he flew over the bay.
X
Tell the people that they’re right, we don’t need to multiply. Die!
Show your people how we die, we don’t need to nullify. Die!
Ask your people what is right, we don’t need to multiply.
CHOP SUEY!
Wake up, grab a brush and put a little makeup, hide the scars to fade away the shakeup.
Why’d you leave the keys upon the table? Here you go, create another fable.
(You wanted to.)
I don’t think you trust in my self righteous suicide, I cry when angels deserve to die.
Father, into your hands, I command my spirit.
Father, into your hands, why have you forsaken me,
In your eyes forsaken me, in your thoughts forsaken me, in your heart forsaken me?
Trust in my self righteous suicide, I cry when angels deserve to die.
BOUNCE
Jump, bounce, down, up. (pogo)
I went out on a date with a girl, a bit late, she had so many friends.
(gliding through many hands)
I brought my pogo stick just to show her a trick, she had so many friends.
(gliding through many hands)
Jump, bounce, down, up. (pogo)
Unannounced Twister games, all players with no names,
They lined up double quick, but just one pogo stick.
Everyone gets to play, runaway exposé, it was so exotic, but just one pogo stick.
Jump, bounce, down, up. (pogo)
I like to spread you out, touching whoever’s behind.
FOREST
Walk with me my little child, to the forest of denial.
Speak with me, my only mind, walk with me until the time and make the forest turn to wine.
You take the legend for a fall, you saw the product.
Why can’t you see that you are my child? Why don’t you know that you are my mind?
Tell everyone in the world that I’m you, take this promise to the end of you.
Walk with me my little friend, take this promise to the end.
Speak with me, my only mind, walk with me until the end and make the forest turn to sand.
You take the legend for a fall, you saw the product.
Why can’t you see that you are my child? Why don’t you know that you are my mind?
Tell everyone in the world that I’m you, take this promise to the end of you.
Take this promise for a ride, you saw the forest, now come inside.
You took the legend for its fall, you saw the product of it all.
No televisions in the air, no circumcisions on the chair.
You made the weapons for us all, just look at us now.
Why can’t you see that you are my child? Why don’t you know that you are my mind?
Tell everyone in the world that I’m you, take this promise to the end of you.
ATWA
Hey you see me, pictures crazy, all the world I’ve seen before me passing by.
I’ve got nothing, to gain, to lose, all the world I’ve seen before me passing by.
You don’t care about how I feel, I don’t feel it any more.
Hey you are me, not so pretty, all the world I’ve seen before me passing by.
Silent my voice, I’ve got no choice, all the world I’ve seen before me passing by.
You don’t care about how I feel, I don’t feel it any more.
I don’t see anymore, I don’t hear anymore, I don’t speak anymore, I don’t feel.
I don’t sleep anymore, I don’t eat anymore, I don’t live anymore, I don’t feel.
SCIENCE
Making two possibilities a reality, predicting the future of things we all know,
Fighting off the diseased programming of centuries.
Science fails to recognise the single most potent element of human existence:
Letting the reins go to the unfolding is faith.
Science has failed our world, science has failed our mother earth.
Spirit moves through all things.
SHIMMY
Education, fornication, in you are, go.
Education, subjugation, now you’re out, go.
Education, fornication, in you are, go.
Don’t be late for school again, boy.
I think me, I want life, I think me, I want a house and a wife.
I want to shimmy through the break of dawn.
Indoctrination of a nation, subjugation of damnation.
Don’t be late for school again, girl.
TOXICITY
Conversion, software version 7.0, looking at life through the eyes of a tyre hub.
Eating seeds as a pastime activity, the toxicity of our city.
What do you own, the world? How do you own disorder?
Now somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep, disorder.
More wood for their fires, loud neighbours,
Flashlight reveries caught in the headlights of a truck,
Eating seeds as a pastime activity, the toxicity of our city.
What do you own, the world? How do you own disorder?
Now somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep, disorder.
When I became the sun I shone life into the man’s heart.
PSYCHO
Psycho groupie cocaine crazy, makes you high, makes you hide, makes you really want to go. Stop!
Psycho groupie cocaine crazy, makes you high, makes you hide,
Do you really want to think and stop, stop your eyes from flowing out?
So you want the world to stop, stop in and watch your body fully drop
From the time you were a psycho groupie cocaine crazy.
So you want to see the show? You really don’t have to be a ho,
From the time you were a psycho groupie cocaine crazy.
AERIALS
Life is a waterfall, we’re one in the river and one again after the fall.
Swimming through the void we hear the word, we lose ourselves but we find it all,
Cause we are the ones that want to play, always want to go but you never want to stay,
And we are the ones that want to choose, always want to play but you never want to lose.
Aerials in the sky, when you lose small mind you free your life.
Life is a waterfall, we drink from the river then we turn around and put up our walls,
Swimming through the void we hear the word, we lose ourselves but we find it all,
Cause we are the ones that want to play, always want to go but you never want to stay,
And we are the ones that want to choose, always want to play but you never want to lose.
Aerials in the sky, when you lose small mind you free your life.
Aerials so up high, when you free your eyes, eternal prize.
from the album “Steal This Album!”
CHIC ‘N’ STU
Ballgame’s in the refrigerator, door is closed, lights are out, butter’s getting hard.
What a splendid pie, pizza pizza pie, every minute, every second, buy buy buy buy buy.
Pepperoni and green peppers, mushrooms, olive, chives.
Need therapy, therapy, advertising causes need, therapy.
Advertising’s got you on the run.
INNER VISION
I have a home, longing to roam, I have to find you, I have to meet you.
Signs of your face, slowing your pace, I need your guidance, I need to seek my inner vision.
My pupils dance, lost in a trance, your sacred silence, losing all violence,
Stars in their place mirror your face, I need to find you, I need to seek my inner vision.
It’s never too late to reinvent the bicycle,
A smile brings forth energy or life, giving your force.
There’s only one true path in life, the road that leads to all leads to one.
Inner vision, your sacred silence, losing all violence.
BUBBLES
Fish that don’t drown, life in a bubble jungle, I wouldn’t frown, not short another chuckle,
Snake in the ground, but I was in there for you, now leaving town, life in a bubble jungle.
Seeing you believing, us adhering, we’re the power struck,
Believing, then kneeling, appeasing the power struggle.
We’re left with no arms, right in the power struggle.
Wearing the crown, life in a bubble jungle, chasing the clown, not short another chuckle,
Snake in the ground, but I was waiting for you, now we have found life in a bubble jungle.
Seeing you believing, us adhering, we’re the power struck.
Believing, then keeling, appeasing the power struggle.
We’re left with no arms, right in the power struggle.
May I remind you, your life is in a bubble jungle.
BOOM!
I’ve been walking through your streets, where all your money’s earning,
Where all your buildings crying, and clueless neckties working,
Revolving fake lawn houses housing all your fears, desensitised by TV,
Overbearing advertising, god of consumerism, and all your crooked pictures looking good,
Mirrorism, filtering information for the public eye, designed for profiteering,
Your neighbour, what a guy.
(Boom!) Every time you drop the bomb, you kill the god your child has born.
Modern globalisation, coupled with condemnations, unnecessary death,
Matador corporations, puppeting your frustrations with the blinded flag,
Manufacturing consent is the name of the game, the bottom line is money, nobody gives a fuck.
Four thousand hungry children leave us per hour from starvation,
While billions are spent on bombs, creating death showers.
(Boom!) Every time you drop the bomb, you kill the god your child has born.
Why must we kill our own kind?
NÜGUNS
And the little boy stared to the eyes of the night, button collects price of his time.
Little girl glared sheets of denial, bullet connects to the price of her crime.
What have we said, wasn’t it their bed?
What of presence, haven’t we paid penance for the new guns?
Now the little boy sees through the eyes of delight, levers erect note of his rhyme.
Little girl bled sheets of the night, lovers connect to the price of his dime.
What have we said, wasn’t it their bed?
What of presence, haven’t we paid penance for the new guns?
A.D.D. (American Dream Denial)
We fought your wars with all our hearts, you sent us back in body parts,
You took our wills with the truth you stole, we offer prayers for your long lost soul.
The remainder is an unjustifiable egotistical power struggle
At the expense of the American Dream.
We don’t give a damn about your world
With all your global profits and all your jewelled pearls,
We don’t give a fuck about your world right now.
There is no flag that is large enough, to hide the shame of a man in cuffs.
You switched the signs then you closed our blinds,
You changed the channel then you changed our minds.
The remainder is an unjustifiable egotistical power struggle
At the expense of the American Dream.
We don’t give a damn about your world
With all your global profits and all your jewelled pearls,
We don’t give a fuck about your world right now.
MR. JACK
Hey Mister Jack, is that the mouthwash in your eyes?
Hey Mister Jack, is that the cause of your surprise?
Hey where you at, on the side of the freeway in the car?
Hey Mister Jack, is that the trick of your disguise?
Hey Mister Jack, is that the cause of your demise?
Hey where you at, on the side of the freeway in the car?
Seven A.M. morning, came to take us away, little men, big guns, pointed at our heads.
Your prospect of living gone, you ran the light at dawn,
Protectors on your back, lights are on their track.
You must now face authority, you’re nothing like me.
Put your hands up, get out of the car.
Fuck you pig!
I-E-A-I-A-I-O
Peter’s pecker picked another pickle bearing pussy pepper.
Meeting John at Dale’s Junior, winked an eye and point a finger.
A former cop, undercover, just got shot, now recovered.
Fighting crime with a partner, Lois Lane, Jimmy Carter.
I-E-A-I-A-I-O, and we light up the sky.
Mine delusions acquainted, bubbles erotica, plutonium wedding rings,
Icicle stretchings, bicycles, shoestrings,
One flag, flaggy but one, painting the paintings of the alive.
I-E-A-I-A-I-O, and we light up the sky.
36
Television is disgrace, life you get old, it’s the race.
Can you break out, will you live at your own pace?
Life so unnecessary.
Now will you live at your own pace?
PICTURES
Flaunt your will at every wheel, parachute your chocolate soul,
Cobblestones under your wheels, I got pictures on my mind.
Circumvent your thick ego, wooden farts they’re on the go,
You can’t tell me that I’m real, I’ve got pictures on my mind.
Fear waits for us when the present can’t be sealed,
Away gold dust, now the dishes can be cleared.
Fear waits for us til the moment is revealed,
Then turns to rust for the mighty conquered meal.
Can’t you look at my shaved ass, ounce is gone and God is once,
You can’t see me suddenly, I got pictures on my mind.
HIGHWAY SONG
I need, I feel a love, you love to love the fear,
I never want to be alone, I’ve forgotten to.
The road keeps moving clouds, the clouds become unreal,
I guess I’ll always be at home, do you want me to try directing your night?
An exit lights the sky, the sky becomes complete,
Travelling hearts divide the throne, I’ve forgotten to.
Friction, lines, bumps, the highway song complete,
The signs are all turning right, do you want me to try directing your light?
The purest forms of life, our days are never coming back.
The cannons of our time, our days are never ever coming back.
FUCK THE SYSTEM
I’m but a little bit bit bit show, but a little bit bit bit shame.
I’m just demeaning the pack.
War! Fuck the system!
You need to fuck the system, I need to fuck the system, we all need to fuck the system.
EGO BRAIN
Life is but a dream, drifting on a stream, consciously it seems.
All of what remains, ego brain, and they shame love after it rains.
You see my pain is real, watch my world dissolve and pretend that none of us see the Fall,
As I turned to sand you took me by the hand and declared that love prevails over all.
I am just a man fighting other men for land while I turn to sand.
In spite of the pain, ego brain, and they shame love after it rains.
You see my pain is real, watch my world dissolve, and pretend that none of us see the Fall,
As I turned to sand you took me by the hand and declared that love prevails over all.
THETAWAVES
The unsettled mind is at times an ally, leaving the senses to fend for themselves.
The senses collect undeniable data about beta carotene and theta waves.
The unsettled mind is at times an ally, leaving the senses to fend for themselves,
Then the senses wanted the sky.
All rise, eyes pound.
Time feels like a midnight ride, finality waits outside,
Weeping in perplexity’s arms, caressing our smiles inside.
The national debt is at times an ally, leaving the people to fend for themselves,
The people collect undeniable data about high pulse weapons and microwaves,
The national debt is at times an ally, leaving the people to fend for themselves,
Then the people found out the lie.
All rise, eyes pound, now our eyes have been found.
Time feels like a midnight ride, finality waits outside,
Weeping in perplexity’s arms, caressing our smiles inside.
Waiting to get you high, waiting to touch the sky.
ROULETTE
I have a problem that I cannot explain, I have no reason why it should have been so plain.
Have no questions but I sure have excuse, I lack the reason why I should be so confused.
I know how I feel when I’m around you, I don’t know how I feel when I’m around you.
Left a message but it ain’t a bit of use, I have some pictures, the wild might be the deuce.
Today you saw, you saw me, you explained, playing the show and running down the plane.
I know how I feel when I’m around you, I don’t know how I feel when I’m around you.
STREAMLINE
I wasn’t there for you.
I know weather’s gonna be fine, but I can see you cross the streamline.
My love waits for me in daytime, but I can see you through the snowblind.
But I wasn’t there for you, you are gone.
I wasn’t there for you, goodbyes are long.
I wasn’t there for goodbye.
Well, I know time reveals in hindsight, I can wrestle with the stormy night
Because your love lasts a lifetime, but I can see you through the snowblind.
But I wasn’t there for you, you are gone.
I wasn’t there for you, goodbyes are long.
I wasn’t there for goodbye.
I wasn't there for you.
