lyrics

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
lyrics

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
lyrics

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 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
lyrics

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 04:06
lyrics

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
lyrics

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
lyrics

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
