and Pleiades middle night
The hour goes by
Alone I lie

Untouchable

No one can stop me. No one can make me change my mind
I’m on top of the world, and you’ve got me locked into your sights
You turn your safety off, your words are bullets into my flesh
But I won’t ever bleed. At least not until the morning
There’s a little lady whose eyes shine bright like the stars
I’ve been trapped in my cage, she’ll be the one to pry my bars
And that place we’re headed tonight I don’t care where, why, or when
When she drives she speeding. I’ll play along for the thrill of it
Tonight I’m Untouchable
Tonight I’m Untouchable
No one will stop me, no one will stop me tonight
I’m on top of the world and you’ve got me feeling just fine
For that little lady, that I see once in 5 years
For that little lady, whose whispers are feathers to my ears
She sets the timer, my heart beats like a racing clock
We place our cargo, and get out before the bomb goes off
And we love destruction, she sets it up to destroy her first
Is she my one? I’ll ride with her through the country side

the Fisherman
01:53

There’s a man who calls himself a fisherman
He ties his knots with shoestrings
He keeps his feet left bare for the rocks of the river
A catch today means for well fed adventure
In his mind there’s no greater thrill
Than fisherman
He wears his hat tilted as sideways as his smile
He bekons like a cracked window
Getures a lure of luck plus 1 fly and reel
Through short waders he steps ever deeper
In his mind there’s no greater life
Than fisherman

Low Gravity
06:41
|

the ocean is trying to drown me
the waves with pull me under, the tide I rode was too steep
I’ve expelled the air that resides in my lungs
Thrust down through the undertow, notch the belt another rung
I breathe in the salty water/ I feel like I have become a martyr
I sink to the bottom of the sea/ where I find death so peacefully
Here I am in Low Gravity
Inside the vast expanse I find myselfencountering a great number of celectial entities. Tyhey both entrance and terrify mewith knowledge and abilities that greatly surpassmy own realm of comprehension and skill.
A beautiful lady approachesme holdiong a glowing orb in her upper hands. My eyes fixed upon the object as if nothing that has ever happened to me mattered anymore. The was just me, the sphere, and the lady. I ask her to be my guide. She accepts. And I follow without footsteps.
Am I weightless here? Engulfed in a light.
do I lay ashore? The same as driftwood
Am I trapped in here? Is there a way out?
there’s a pulse here yet. Blurry sight, slow time
You could shine in the heavens and look on down.
You’d be the brightest star that shines in my house.
You could shine in the heavens yet I feel compelled.
To wait on you a little while and keep you for myself.
Dragged along on soil, with my hands clasped tight.
yet I feel no pain. Picked at my own locks.
Figures from above. Galaxies with eyes.
Through thedoor back home. Back to sleep I go.
I fade back from the shade of green
As you pound the water straight out from me
An excess rush of air, the giant inhale relief
The crowd cheers, as I stand on my own feet
Here I stand in Low Gravity

My.World.Changed.
03:20
|

My world has changed. I can no longer find beauty in things that I once did
It all seems ominous now; everything has a darker presence than before
The trees tell dark secrets, suburban homes chatter away to each other
Ooohhhhh. Chiky chiky wah wah.
Il mio mondo e cambiato. Non trovo piu bellezza nelle cose ho fatto una volta
Le mie orme sono diventate vuote le ombre non tengono piu le form, ai miei occhi
Mi si spezza il cuore pui si familarizzano com me, mi vedono
Watashi no sekai wa kawatta wo buneng zai zhao dao meili de dongxi
Shumu an an de mimi. Jiaoqu Jiating Tanhua. Tamen kan dao wo
Weixie de tezheng sihu zhi hui bian de geng zao

I should scrub my nails, they’ve got dirt crusted underneath
You’ve got me pulling up wolvesbane, a change arrives over me
I think I’ve got a fever of 5 hundred million degrees
My teeth were sharp like knives, but I grind them fat in my sleep
Have you ever mixed wolves with sheep
Have you ever cried? don’t ever ever cry for me
Don’t put the Wolves with Sheep
Don’t you ever cry? Don’t ever ever cry for me
The hands on the clock are stopped in time. They read 40 before 5
I’ve been raking up your leaves, so tell me baby what is your sign?
I’m sucking in water 6 inches deep, my lungs swell, im yours to keep
The sloth is slow and is so mine, im not much , but damn you’re fine
Don’t ever ever cry for me

That Open Road
02:30
|

You’re the breeze as I step out in the open plain
You’re the fear where the dandelions go
You whisper, I think we need some rain tonight
Cuz without it the flowers will never grow
When we fly we’ll fly across the great divide
When we fly, we’ll fly just like the willows
When we fly we’ll fly down that straight and open road
You’re the breeze, as I step out to the city streets
I’m comforted by the trash that surrounds me
I hear a whisper for I don’t ever sleep at night
The lights flash and then I’m blinded
You’re the breeze as I step out in the open night
I have the stars and the moon to guide me
I hear a whisper, is that you right beside me?
I can hear you knocking, but nobody’s ever home

the Looking Glass

You’ll think too much as you fall down
The latitude you’re at won’t matter now
You see it all as you fall down
Your curiosity will latch on your tongue
You’ll throw a fit, as you grow tall
Just be careful to not lose yourself
Your eyes will drip on down
In the pool of tears you’ll nearly drown
I know its not real
And its all a dream
I cant help but feel
There’s something there I just cant see
When the cat takes off his masquerade
The queen wont put a razor behind what she says
You’ll find it odd, as you play croquet
That only she can break the rules and not be put to shame
You say you don’t want to play that game
But I’m the only one who’s dealing their cards straight
Weill you or will you not take a walk with me
The carpenter and walrus aren’t here for tea
I know it’s not real
And it’s all a dream
I can’t help but feel
There’s something there that was meant for me
Alice. I’ll come to find you.
I’ll step down the rabbit hole, but there will be nothing there at all
Alice. I’ll come to find you.
In the garden of the queen, where nothing is as it seems
Alice. I’ll come to find you
I’ll put my heart against the mirror, but I’ll find nothing there
No, I’ll find nothing there at all

Pieces Bottom
02:32

My Pisces has split. Rock bottom for the tunes
Got some for tomorrow, watched her surf with dudes
Smoking forms a hazard. I’ll give that nic a pass
I’m gumming for a savior that jams a rocky stance
She left me here. I’ve stumbled without a fall
Brass Knuckle Table, she wouldn’t heed the call
We both know why im going home alone tonight
Give up the chase, the amounts been slowly given
She trances me with bass. I collapse, as she draws me.
There’s nothing to blame. I’ve got time for spending
Could I recall a name? She gasps as I draw in
Exasperated sighs, don’t dare break the news
Warming up for them two, let’s teach each other rules
Our particles collide in a vacuum simulator
Crossfade, up, divide. My hearts a calculator
I’ve held me up to you, not that it would matter
Playing spades with jewels until my mirror shatters
I’ve got one up my sleeve and its here if you need me

Wind Without a Basket
02:43
|
|||
I gaze into the mirror to harvest crust from my eyes
I need a place to think without distractions from outside
I step into the shower making a grievous stank
Last nights’ party wound up on the sheets
Questions about life seem to always arise
While I’m deeply contemplating their seeking my demise
I think its time to forget the word forget
There’s no clear sides in the lifestyle chess-set
She lays in bed motionless as if my alarm clock didn’t sound
Her make up less face is still pristine lasts nights clothes are on the ground
We filter out our minds with coffee, bitter and energizing
A static shock to start the day, its quick and polarizing
I’d like to say whats on my mind but I never have time to think
My thoughts keep racing but I never have time to speak
I’d like to shoot the breeze but im a wind without a basket
A 45 to my head with my feet inside my casket
If life is a game like Russian roulette
Everything’s a trigger but I haven’t hit the bullet yet.
Dinning day by day has gotten inconvenient
Slam it, lock it, don’t burn your feet on pavement
In the presence of society it’s a question of morality
The ever-present fear of getting too anxious
My rising pulse tells me I’m getting nervous
It’s a cutthroat world in every industry
Pry yourself from the pack running wild and free
I see the business types all suited and briefed up
While the homeless carry signs for change and free hugs
I do my daily grind just like I’ve done before
Remind myself why its for the girl I have back home
My heart throbs every time I look into her eyes
yet I’m still the one wearing the biggest disguise

I’ll rack my brain to figure it out
Why this carousel just wont spin around
Life is filled with ups and downs
why do you keep spinning me around
I am coming home
Life is like a roller coaster ride
We go, up, down, and around all in due time
They’re sliding cars off the tracks
It’s a gruesome sight and a horrible crash
I am coming home
I see your face in an old Photograph
You say, good luck to you im not ever coming back
You’re waiting up for my sighs
Lunar cycles control the movements of the tides
I am Coming Home
