Golden Tears

Life spins theories, theories waiver
Perceptions vary, life unwinds
Sometimes things, that feel most real
Are just, stories in the mind
Life spins theories, theories waiver
Perceptions vary, life unwinds
Mesmerize secrets in disguise
Feeling all alone up on your throne
Motivated fire, burns strife in mind
Golden tears, blind
Sometimes things, that feel most real
Are just stories, in the mind
Motivated fire, burns strife in mind
Golden tears, blind
Mesmerize secrets in disguise
Feeling all alone up on your throne
Ideas converge
Ideas will merge
Ideas catapult the ages
Captivate the sages
[musical interlude]
Mesmerize secrets in disguise
Feeling all alone up on your throne

Chemical Infusion
04:49
|

|
Lost in stagnant void
Grasping the dark abyss
Profound silence squeezes my eardrum
Slipping into the void
Undeciphered messages
Lose track... track of time
Converge illogically
Reaching me in fragments
It was a lucky... entirely accidental
Chemical infusion... Chemical infusion
Enveloped in profound silence
Bewitched by incurable boredom
Comfort swallows me whole
Bringing on natural solutions
It was a lucky... entirely accidental
Chemical infusion... Chemical infusion
Unbearably shy
Not knowing why
Want to explore
Before going next door
Before going to the next door
It was a lucky... entirely accidental
Chemical infusion...Chemical infusion
Unbearably shy
Not knowing why
Want to explore
Before going next door
Before going to the next door

Satchel & A Ticket

Satchel and a ticket
Beneath an overhang
Heart pounding so heavy
Startled by a dream
From one man to the other
Steam bursts of wind
A cobweb of sorrows
Lyrics play in the mind
Something mysterious took hold
Orchestrating instincts to behold
Snowy ballerinas
Pure stars twirling in the night
Pirouetting dancers
Sleep the beauty within
Tip toeing down the hall
Landing between floors
Over the sill we tumble
Stuck together in the stars
Something mysterious took hold
Orchestrating instincts to behold
[musical break]
Struggling to search
Inside a cell
Across a walkway
Standing still
Something mysterious took hold
Orchestrating instincts to behold

Facing Lies
07:04
|
|||
|
Rolling Stones... astral tones
Down the chute of effigy... synergy
Elfin grit... the tourniquet
Elapsing time before the skies... facing lies
Legends meet in sleepy towns
Ladies wearing gowns
Local papers dampen years
Divide and conquer... dears
Stellar & destitute... miming in Chinatown
Your shoes are red... Lennon is in your head
Taking note... without a vote
As bands in silence watch the show... watch the show
Strange facades... grand applause
A question of my sanity... certainty
Ode to my charismatic guides... ebbing with the tides
Ode to my charismatic guides... ebbing with the tides
Stellar & destitute... miming in Chinatown
Your shoes are red... Lennon is in your head

Love in a Cage
05:11
|
|||
|
The lonely building... longs for light
The abandoned tower... stands in sight
No one goes there... anymore
Ghosts hibernate... in echos of yore
Breathing... Exploring... Love in a Cage
Breathing... Exploring... Love in a Cage
Constellations...blur to dark
Memories... impede a spark
Landing... at last
No ones knows... where to go
Breathing... Exploring... Love in a Cage
Breathing... Exploring... Love in a Cage
The alchemist hides... in heavy tides... the leader of...
Hollow mountains... possess time
No rhyme or reason... falls in line
Telescopic stares... dilate time
Telescopic stares... dilate time
Breathing... Exploring... Love in a Cage Breathing... Exploring... Love in a Cage Breathing... Exploring... Love in a Cage

At the Arcade

Mario saves the day
Miss PacMan’s gone astray
Astroids & Tetris, let’s play
Playing at the arcade again
Oh Miss PacMan
Will never be married at this rate
Miss PacMan is all alone
Longing for Donkey Kong
Games over before I got the joke
Games over before I got the joke
Centipede has nice colors
A caterpillar eating dots
Oh no I’m dead again
Tempest is lots of fun
Spin the wheel, shoot the gun
Falling through the black hole again
Miss PacMan is all alone
Longing for Donkey Kong
Games over before I got the joke
Games over before I got the joke
Got my name in the running once or twice
With lots of quarters on my side
With lots of quarters on my side
Donkey Kong looks like fun
But damsel in distress?
Why doesn’t someone give her a gun?
Mario saves the day
Miss PacMan’s gone astray
Astroids & Tetris, let’s play
Astroids & Tetris, let's play
Astroids & Tetris, let's play

Why Are You So Sad?
05:52
|

|
Why are you so sad?
Do you ever get mad?
Why are you so blue?
Is it a shadow in you?
Waiting for the prize
A prize in disguise
An expectation
From the death of a dream
That’s not what it’s about
Let’s do a recount
Time to live
For life taken away
Why are you so sad?
Do you ever get glad?
Why are so blue?
Is it a shadow in you?
Appreciation would flow
To let the lesson be known
Learning how...
How to let go

Skies are Falling
04:21
|

|
Exchanging signals
In the silence of the night
Flashes switching & pausing
Writing notes in the dark
Hunting rapture in despair
Sparks fly high in the fight
Eyes, ears, mouths & fingers
Manipulate messages
Exchanging signals
In the silence of the night
Flashes switching & pausing
Writing notes in the dark
Skies are falling
Tears nourish hearts
I can’t get no satisfaction
So I’ll rip this world apart
Punctuation masters me
I’m expanding past the sea
Constructing to destroy
Demon, I love our tea
[musical interlude]
Punctuation masters me
I’m expanding past the sea
Constructing to destroy
Demon, I love our tea
Skies are falling
Tears nourish hearts
I can’t get no satisfaction
So I’ll rip this world apart

Plaid
04:46
|
|||
|
Gold accents black squares
Blue green and white
The color of skin
Transcends light
No use making waves
No use making up plays
It’s a trap of condemnation
Annihilation
Jumping, falling, plaid looks good on me
Jumping, falling, plaid looks good on me
Traps in my soul
Eyes of indigo
Open a door
Afraid of what’s in there
All the same
Just here to make the grade
Wonder if it’s worth
The time paid
Afraid of me
What am I
Waiting for
When I can
Save me
Jumping, falling, plaid looks good on me
Jumping, falling, plaid looks good on me
Jumping, falling, plaid looks good on me
Na-na-nanana-na-na-nanana-na-na-na-na-na
