Snapshots (of the human mind) 07:30
lyrics
buy track
Snapshots (of the human mind) Looking forward back in time Absent minded nursery rhyme Mother Goose’s pick-up line Live in fear of the divine Can you hear the distant whine Of the gears inside my head slowly turning It’s not early it’s too late tempted by the hand of fate there’s a padlock up on heaven’s gate choose unwise your lifelong mate you understand try not to hate that your whole life is predetermined (Chorus) The point. Is sticking in your eye But only I can find the earth the moon and sky Pictures in my mind What’s it mean infinity Endless junk on an endless sea Further than your eyes can see Open cans of destiny Blind fighting to be more than free Those that kill should be more discerning Open doors that cleanse the soul House of mirrors unstated goal Stars get eaten by a black hole Reclaim the things the thief he stole Why stop now that you’re on a roll Life is never good at waiting (Chorus) Looking down at the rank and file Wake the demon for a while He tips his hat and cracks a smile But underneath he feels revile Death is never out of style Why then, can’t you see it coming? Liberated from the war Like morning came the day before Can’t fake sleeping anymore Wonder where you can go to score Life’s not easy like it was before It just, seems to keep on going. (chorus)

Alone 05:35
lyrics

Alone Life’s got me travellin’ down a road I never seen Livin’ out a dream I thought I’d never dream Everybody knows what I’m talking about Killin’ chances for to lead a better life Every choice I make is just a sharper knife make sure to walk down the other side Are there times that you dream about me How does it feel to never ever know for sure Are there times that you dream about me How does it feel to never ever know for sure Oh, am I alone Feelin’ sorry for the ones that never see Life is like a joke it’s just a joke to me Never think too hard what you’re thinkin’ about Fortune smiles on me when I need it least Then I pay my demons and the nightmares cease No one ever knows what I’m talking about Are there times that you dream about me How does it feel to never ever know for sure Are there times that you dream about me How does it feel to never ever know for sure Oh, am I alone

Biorhythms 04:38
lyrics

Biorhythms You work and struggle in pain and you toil away he best years of your life you lie awake in your bed at night and you fear that you’re not quite right There ain’t no more work on the farm and the sun don’t shine so bright so you sit and you think and you drink for awhile pretty soon its just another night When a man with a badge or a drink or a job stops by to see if you’re all right your lips say yes and your brain says no and your heart’s nowhere in sight And he said “Did ya kill” yes sir. What did ya kill I said I killed two birds with one stone and I killed the engine before I got home and I killed the best part of me so I’d never be alone and he said how’d it make you feel? which part of you is really real is it the one who lives in this home or the one that left you all alone or the one that fears to take his place on the throne

The World of Everything Gone Wrong 04:07

The World of Everything Gone Wrong Welcome to the world of everything gone wrong Feel free to take a look around But everything you touch you’re going to have to buy In the world of everything gone wrong (gone wrong) In the world of everything gone wrong Our customers include in no order of importance Stonewall Jackson, Che Guevara, Eva Braun, Marilyn Monroe and wars in Vietnam In the world of every thing gone wrong (gone wrong) In the world of every thing gone wrong When the world’s gone wrong there’s one place to go Where ideas maybe not your own When the world’s gone wrong only one place to go Once you’ve been you’ll never get back home.(back home) Once you’ve been you’ll never get back home.(back home) Elvis Presley, Jesus Christ, the guy that dropped the bomb Napoleon and Uncle Tom We’ve got the best selection that we’ve ever had In the world of every thing gone wrong (gone wrong) In the world of every thing gone wrong

Glow 06:41
lyrics

Glow I can see the glow of the city but it doesn’t affect me The lure of the lights on the street now it got up and left me I no longer hear the screams of the people beside me No time left to lose I got this feeling inside me I can hear the roar of the sky soaring high up above me But down here feet on the ground its all just silent around me Sometimes I can dream that there’s nothing to hold me No time left to scream its like you bought and you sold me But I can’t let it go I just got to know Where did I go Where did I go So wrong? I can hear the sound of the footsteps and they’re nearly upon me Bridges behind me have burned the path ahead tries to call me The pain in my heart returns but my head tries to calm me No place left to turn it’s like they’re closing in on me I can feel the pull of the Earth out there trying to ground me An ocean full of temptation out there trying to drown me I ran so far away that I made it beyond me There’s no time left to live with these shackles upon me But I can’t let it go I just got to know Where did I go Where did I go So long?

The Other Hand 05:24
lyrics
buy track
The Other Hand So high Can you see all the people on the ground? Goodbye, to the world that you thought that you found I’ll try, get my head and my heart turned around Goodbye, on the other hand goodbye On every street corner there’s a man with a story Behind every man there’s a woman with a plan Down the alley catch a glimpse of the other side of life Wake your neighbor light a fire eating dinner from a can People shootin’ dice sellin’ drugs makin’ money People workin’ hard give their money to the man Windows cracked and broken but you don’t look in Lookin’ out is all right if that’s the only way you can Walking past the garbage piled high beneath your feet don’t pick it up it ain’t your problem, walk on by give a quarter to a beggar just don’t make me stop and talk it’s surely his own fault that he doesn’t really try if I had a million dollars then would we still be friends or is that the only reason you’d be stopping by? Look around you all you see is a world of people seeking comfort Is it just too much to ask for a smile from your eyes So high Can you see all the people on the ground? Goodbye, to the world that you thought that you found I’ll try, get my head and my heart turned around Goodbye, on the other hand goodbye

Casanova 06:14
lyrics

Casanova I love what you’ve done with the place Have you lost weight Would you like to go out for a beer Or maybe the symphony, the track or fraternity Party or should we stay here We could fire up the barbecue Bars I could hum a few Or should I just go? What did you see in me is it just personality Or someone in there I should know? Casanova standing there in front of a mirror Rehearsing lines all by himself where no one else could hear Can’t believe that anyone could be so insincere As Casanova standing there in front of the mirror That dress sure looks good on you It brings out your eyes Would you like to come up for a drink Your work sounds so interesting whatever you do There’s my bedroom well what do you think? Wait why are you leaving so soon Is it something I said Can I give you a call Is there something wrong with me, mistaken identity I’m not really like this at all I’m Casanova standing there in front of the mirror Rehearsing lines all by himself where no one else could hear Can’t believe that anyone could be so insecure As Casanova lying there in front of the mirror

And 04:02
lyrics

And And the things you hold in your hand you can’t let slip away But don’t hold them too tightly or they might break And Rome wasn’t built in a day, love isn’t made in an hour You’ve got to find your own way, sometimes you gotta pay (Chorus) But I’ll try oh I’ll try, yes I’ll try, try as I may Even when it’s too dark to light my way But I’ll try oh I’ll try, yes I’ll try, try as I may And when the words don’t come, got nothing to say I’m going to try anyway And when the eagles glide with their wings open wide If you could would you fly? Or clip your wings and sigh And there’s a cold wind that blows through the still of the night But with it goes all of yesterday’s woes (Chorus)

Apocalyptic Inauguration 07:01
lyrics

Apocalyptic Inauguration I remember well the day the earth stood still Frantic people running everywhere And St. Peter was there at the top of the stairs Checking names with their last gasp of air Mr. President said I declare this world dead I gotta get out while I can Before the last word was spoke he said this must be a joke And his eyes they rolled back in his head So forgive me father, for I have sinned When I started playing I really thought I could win Up to this point I thought the game was fun But now I feel like my time has come Whoa, just my be my time to go
