chemicals pour thru my mind
some make me see and others blind
all the fracked up years slowly cascade
when I'm stuck in this moment,
feeling this way
some feelings are love
some feelings are hate
sometimes these feelings
take up the same space
some days are dreamed
some days are designed
some days are holes
in which you want to climb
chemicals pour thru my brain
some natural and some man-made
of the chemicals I need relief
are the ones that make stick on repeat
some days are hope
some days are fear
some days are like the final frontier
mostly they feel like sand in my hands
stuck on trying to understand

this tin-foil hat keeps my head clear
of all the noise that interferes
you may think I've jumped the shark
but you know, these days
its not that hard
(web)cast a spell, light my way
thanks for the diggs
every HAL needs his Dave
the Brick Owners + Shouting Beasts
will never catch us
and force us to our knees
we've crossed the threshold
of what a mind, can know
you've gotta cut, the data stream
lest you forget, how to breathe
shadows, contain light
normal, is just a state of
mental, is a maze
careful, lest you circle the
we've crossed the threshold
of what a mind, can know
we've gotta cut, the data stream
lest we forget, how to dream

auto survival pilot
04:25
|
|||
|
now's the time, to say goodbye
to the beats and the bars
and the lovely black and whites
you have been
the loneliest of friends
never arriving
at the ever changing edge
who is the strange attractor?
calling me on the spectral phone
was this purposely meant to trap me?
or am I victim of a fame-based crime?
(teenage mind)
((or just an auto-pilot push to survive?)
fall in line with the grid lock design
to the heat and the cars
and you're disappearing time
is this then, a meaningless end?
to all the driving
thru such twisted circumstance
I am a fool to want you for myself
there comes a time, when darkness
gives in to light
the sun can rise too quickly
and burn you out
who am I, to deny you
to decide what's paramount?

lovely day
01:56
|
|||
|
have you lost your mind?
it happens all the time
crazy's just another word
for nothing left to lose
it is such a lovely day
gotta get on to my knees
thank the Lord and pray
I'm already bored with this song
it's going nowhere and takes too long
if this song was a car...
it doesn't matter how
hard you try
everything's
a cliche in time

gardens for dustheaps
03:56
|

(here is the English translation of Chinese lyrics, penned by Baha'u'llah)
O OFFSPRING OF DUST! Be not content with the ease of a passing day, and deprive not thyself of everlasting rest. Barter not the garden of eternal delight for the dust-heap of a mortal world. Up from thy prison ascend unto the glorious meads above, and from thy mortal cage wing thy flight unto the paradise of the Placeless.

I need to climb thru twisted forests
to a calm forgotten mountain
enter the deserted city
on a world that's not my own
break bread amongst the ruins
and sip from the spring
that once nourished
the hopes + dreams
of the vanished zoku
with whom I linger
as a hungry ghost

echo chamber
05:02
|
|||
|
a moss covered statue in a cemetery
is what I find in your philosophy
your echo chamber is boring me to death
it mystifies me why you lack such common sense
the mythical future has already arrived
its got us in its jaws and its eating us alive
over stimulation is numbing me out
I'd seek sanctuary if I thought it could be found
this is the storm before the calm
our mother is screaming
for a new world to be born
we gotta play more non zero sum
its the way good people get along
you won the battle but lost the war
now there's nothing left
to placate the angry hordes
every pure feeling of childish innocence
has been stolen from me
by wolves in tailored sheep skin
politics is a game no one wins
except the banks
watch your life go down the drain
as the money men flee to outer space

monkey

my yesterday is your tomorrow
I live on the cusp of a thousand sorrows
monkey see, monkey do
monkey riots at the zoo
monkey wants retirement plans
monkey wants to understand
step into a forest
you may lose your mind
the cost of admission
cannot be quantified

15 minutes
03:40

I've known some pop stars
and how they live large
you wouldn't believe
the size of their homes!
I know it's bullshit
this 15 minutes
but I can't seem to leave
well enough alone
heard you're on TV
channel 150
guess you won't be
lonely now
our culture's dyin'
from all the tie-ins
baby you are not what you own!
you use your airbrush
little bit of kleenex
we'll make a Sistine Chapel
you tell all of your friends
I'll tell all of my friends
then we'll burst out this bubble
I'd blame the walrus
and his pop sonnets
but I know its alchemical
I'm not the driver
of this low rider
on Avenue Delusional
you use your airbrush
little bit of lipstick
we'll make a Michel'ango
you tell all of your friends
I'll tell all of my friends
we'll get into some trouble
the way I know that I'm loved
you take my picture
put it on your Wall
you tweet me up
then digg me down
everything we do these days
is never underground

shallow sunken seas
02:25
|
|||
|
in the rush of breath
a quiet sigh
empty actions
and meaningless replies
you've lost the search
for forgiveness
and now only want justice
but have no eye
for what it means
circle dreams
circle dreams
the engine has lost
all its steam
I am a wanderer
in a world of make believe
won't you come with me?
to sun caked sands
and frozen winter lands
dive in shallow sunken seas
and endless reveries

reasons
04:00
|
|||
|
if there are, some reasons
that I have, to draw these circles
then I'd like, to know
what I can do, to make them squares
but until, that day comes
I will not, hold my breath
and if that, means that I
have to wait, until my death
I don't mind, for I have seen
the other side
words like sublime
are but shadows
cast from its light
if there is, a heaven
then I'd like, to go
if you could, mark me down
for a week, from next Thursday
I would not, hesitate
to knock off, this mortal coil
for the world, has redefined
the meaning, of the word crazy
my mind has locked me up
and thrown away the key
where this thing is going
is such a mystery

crystalline
04:12
|
|||
|
it's warm outside
but cold in your eyes
it's an old deep pain
that time has not erased
a gentle child
taken from mother's arms
be here and now
and fall into your heart
o lonely child
the worst is over now
the only thing to fear
is fear itself
sweet crystalline
burn bright as the sun
this is the dream
that was so hard won

coin on the tracks
02:20
|

|
All my life, I've searched and prayed
maybe I could feel another way
but its been 25 frackin' turns
around the fire that ceases to burn
somehow I still feel the same
my heart is a broken down train
stranded in a country
no poet dare name
given up on calling
for the angel that never came
and somehow I still feel the same
my heart's a broken down train

bitterness
01:50

bitterness is a snake
wrapped up my spine
recompense for my pain
may not come in this life
truth is one
the mind makes many
all is love
but we're not forgiving

late night vigils
04:09
|
|||
|
baby, I sleep
on the edge of madness + ecstasy
the dreaming is alive
but its no escape
for one with a virtuous mind
lately, I can't speak
too numb to name the ghosts
that possess me
the dreaming was cast aside
for a lesser version called
merchandise
I want to get some sleep
but restlessness taunts me
I hope at last you find
some overdue peace of mind
praying for some relief
has become an exercise
in make believe
dealing for a second chance
might be a trade of
the deck for a hand

fire sparks
05:39
|

|
fire sparks the wheel
the wheel turns the stone
the stone becomes a tower
in which to place a throne
the throne becomes an idol
to which men lay down their bones
the bones are ground to dust
that the winds of change will blow
this is the beginning of the end
history's turn to make amends
hidden words "the kingdom is at hand"
all will hear, but few understand

nanobots + haltertops

he was in the middle of a quick scan
for any nanobots in the vicinity
and he would have caught the one
headed straight for him were it not
for the cute girl in the haltertop.
women, always his fatal distraction.
if he had caught the virus
now rushing through his system
he would have been able to follow thru
on his instincts to search up the girl's stats
before chasing her down.
but it was too late.
glint's of sunshine from the corrugated
steel roofs nearby swarmed his frontal
lobe as the virus trashed his embeds
ruining six months of person points
and friend requests.
oh brother, it really was
going to be one of those days.

force majure
06:14
|
|||
|
if there was a place
where we could find
a haven of peace
for heart and mind
I wonder how many'd
pack their bags today?
and leave the chaos
that seems to plague our race
would it be two in ten?
or 50 percent?
plainly not the rich
who have so much to defend
or their hired hands
who profit from our pain
in the business of war
which never seems
to go away
non gravitas, causa mortis
salus in arduis, lucent lux vestra
when I look around
at the world today
I see free people
acting like they're slaves
surrendering
to so many demands
that there's nothing left
for their secret plans
what if everyone
knew they could dream
and see it through
to reality?
would we allow the rich
to play their greedy games
in the war of business
that surely must go away
you know we are the ones
the earth wants to save
so stop chasing time
and seize the day
you are the only one
who knows how to say
the words for the dying things
that are screaming out in pain
its not a simple thing
to choose to liberate
our ego from the bonds
that hold us in place
but the battle can be won
so start today
and I'll see you there
on the ship to innerspace

heart flows
05:25
|
|||
|
I was a fool to think
there was anything else
but thru the walls of pain
it was too hard to tell
all the dark actions
that everyone makes
are just in ignorance
of the love that pervades
every living thing
there is sunshine
there are dark times
there are hearts of gold
and tortured souls
there are hopes and dreams
and shattered fantasies
but on which end you lie
you may never know in time
I have read the plan
written by a Master's hand
its of a beauty
greater than I can conceive
all will change in time
to the Prophet's design
won't matter what you know
but only where your heart flows
love is, so much
bigger than all of us
you have seen the dream
of golden unity
you have felt a flow
that only angels know
these are real things
and not just poetry
you have to make it so
by letting your heart flow
love is, so much
bigger than all of us
