Moonstrung

And i just strung the moon
My camel's on its way
I see your face in a cage
Breaking sand dunes on this page

The pencil's broken blue
Submerged in all of its shaves
I sense you longing for clouds
Using the mirage as pieces of shroud

The doctor, she holds the needles
The nurse, he weeps in pain
They took all the sheets that drenched
Out a desire to fulfil their need for the stench

They prescribe what's on their mind
Drug addled in a world of coin
The safety is in signatures
The pencil is in the hands of a forger

The aquarium cleaner sits down to think
How he has forgotten all about love
As bubbles of fluid sink between his teeth
The song of sea weeds grab him by his feet

Now he stares at the glass with one eye closed
As his friends swim around in circles
He is trying to erase his life with his past
And has stopped to think about the future

The astronomer, she sits half naked
While online daters send her notes of love
But she is too busy watching pornography
And the rent cheque is due for two months

While she feels so cluelessly estranged
From her family, she once let go
She makes an attempt to send a note of hope
But the page is wrinkled and torn

The wedding singer plays tunes at sunset
While the divorce lawyer irons his tie
The bride and the groom are craving attention
And the pencil fits so strong in his hands

She sings pages and pages of soul
As he sinks so deep in her cage
The bride and the groom are now on top of the moon
While he slowly gets poisoned with his own lead

Yes, it seems i have strung the moon
And my camel's on its way
I see your face each and every day
Carving sand dunes from inside of the cage

I lie sick here on a bed of shaves
And the pencil's broken blue
The clouds have now gone into hiding
Shrouding this page to replace your mirage as its face

This Is Goodbye

This is goodbye
This is goodbye
This is the end we've been waiting for

I was stuck on the side street
Rummaging through the scrap
Of all my yesterlife

I was blown up on toxic
Doped up on fatality
I am feeling up the toll

This is goodbye
This is goodbye
This is the end we've been waiting for

They called me a hero
They called me a bore
My limbs have all been sore

They called me a teacher
They called me a whore
I have never been so torn

This is goodbye
This is goodbye
This is the end we've been waiting for

I look like a swamp
I look like a tree
Chopped off to make paper

I look like tar
I look like a cake
A truck just ran over

This is goodbye
This is goodbye
This is the end we've been waiting for

They threw me a bone
They fed me a bomb
I can't digest no more

They threw me a net
I wasn't looking for help
But the bait was much too strong

This is goodbye
This is goodbye
This is the end we've been waiting for

I was looking for hope
I was screaming for love
i was and i won't anymore

You saw through my flaws
You knew my needs
And i won't complain anymore

This is goodbye
This is goodbye
This, this right here, is the end

Rings And Leashes

Life is a cup of tea
That i just spilt
Mind is a puzzle of maze
The jigsaw's a blade
Heart is an aunt you hate
Cause she fed you bread
Legs are like *Fawlty Towers*
Built on paper mache

Sun is a big dark sword
Made out of yellow cardboard
Moon is a hollow oval
It has no soul
Earth is such a joke
It's out of shape
Pluto had to get fired
For something Saturn did

Rings and leashes
They're all the same

Tripping All Over You

I got a yarn bombed tree
A seven mile naked run to go

She's been waiting at the other end
Tired, dying to go home

I got my clocks laid out, a one hour back
But me, i need some saving too

Things are getting high
I got another man's foot in my shoe

Take it down
Take it down
Take it down
Trpping Over

Take it down
Take it down
Take it down
Trpping Over

All over you

I got a mailbox full of pills
That i will never ever need

I got a key chain,a sling shot
And some friends to be happy with

She paints my bed with her pencil
Dipped in a sweet warm ink

We are getting high
Our sorrows, now all drained in a sink

Take it down
Take it down
Take it down
Trpping Over

Take it down
Take it down
Take it down
Trpping Over

All over you

I got a stubble made out of trimmers
I learnt that point some don't do none

I got wax dripping from my candle
Its better than what i crumble

She's got me saying the sweetest things
No, i never the know the reasons why

I gotta get my friend outta the bars
For some that i really did

Its a purple moonshine here
Its a raving pollution there

All in all
I've got to say
We can make it here
It's not so bad

Take it down
Take it down
Take it down
Trpping Over

Take it down
Take it down
Take it down
Trpping Over

All over you

Tripping All Over You
Tripping All Over You
Tripping All Over You
Tripping All Over You

You
You
You
Yeah You

Paradigm Shift(less)

I was standing
Beneath the ocean floor
Rising up to the waves

The sun, it rises
From a different curve
Rays of stone in my eyes

Gardens of orchids dance
To the songs of sea weeds
That the sponges once wrote

Dolphins fly with the eagles
A universe of trance
No paradigm shifts, here i feel

Door bells ring, just like dreams
In a cold cold breeze
Lets embrace the sin

Drowning with the fireflies
Whispering sounds to the rivers
A breath of fresh air

Wings flutter in the silver rain
New lives are being born
Sparks of an unpredictable love

All these worlds, they collide
It's such a rat race here
It's such a rat race here

The Scooter Song

Wanna buy a scooter
Crawl it to your house
Put you in the backseat
Take you for a ride
Pineapple juice and pepper
Palm trees and breeze
We'll wander around LA
We'll sleep in Long beach

Long beach
Long beach

Wanna fly a plane
Right into your porch
I'll give you the controls
Crash out the ozone
Say hello the birds
Say hello to the bees
Make love on the
Passenger seats

Passenger seats
Passenger seats

Wanna take you to New Zealand
Wanna take you to India
Roam the streets on Bombay
Wanna make you meet my mum
My dad will love you
No matter what
My brother, he loves me
So he will love you too

They'll all love you
Yes, they will love you

But i crashed my scooter
It broke in two
My plane had no wings
It was a bad investment too
I will never know you
You'll never get to know me
I'll just lie
Alone in my dreams

Broken Dreams
Broken Dreams
Broken Dreams
Broken Dreams

Wrapped Up In Spirals

I shut off
I am the closing chapter of a book
It has no words
I am a one way dead end street
You have no clue
I am a life wrapped up in spirals
Crashing downwards
Crashing down

I close in
I am the river red that sinks in
It has no flow
The fish dont swim, they kill
They have no clue
I am a life wrapped up in spirals
Crashing downwards
Crashing down

I get on
I am the start of something beautiful
It has no heart
The blood's been draining out
It has no clue
I am a life wrapped up in spirals
Crashing downwards
Crashing down

I close out
I am the fiery gates that await me
I got no choice
My skin is slowly dying
I can feel the blue
I am a life wrapped up in spirals
Crashing downwards
Crashing down

Comfort Zone

There's a Man
Rolling down a tyre
In the middle of the road
He is exhausted
He's walking
Waking to somewhere

There's a girl
Walking impatiently
Down that same road
She's got a flat
She's cursing
Cursing about something

There's an old man
Cursing to the sky
Screaming down that road
He is angry
He's got too much to worry
Worry about everything

There's a child
Worrying about a family
About a broken road
So young
Looking for a comfort zone
A comfort zone

The Ballad Of Troy Davis

Maggie's got dust on her eye brows
She wipes it off with her nose
Jared's got tiger stripes on his palms
He don't care for no life lines
I've got mindless conversations
I tend to write them down right here
But this one's not about you and me
And it sure as hell ain't about them
This one's for Troy Davis
And how the filthy took a life

Now he is slowly turning to dust
And a nose that will only bleed
He sure can't dream about tiger stripes
Cause his life lines ceased to exist
He wont have a mind to converse
And a living space to vent it all in
This will never be about you and me
And it sure as hell wont be about them
This one's for Troy Davis
And the losers who took his life

The Letter L

Laureatte
She's a diver
She jumps right in
She's got a broken nose and a set
Of shining white teeth
She's a cook
She's a sister
She loves her siblings
She likes to keep it healthy
She likes to keep it clean
She is looking for love
And no, it ain't just coming
And ah, i
hope it comes to her soon

Leron
He's a writer
Alcohol and cigarettes
Just another day for him
He knows three different languages
He'd like to know one more
He knows no one
No one knows him
He lives in apathy
He lives a little less
He desperately needs love
And no, it ain't just coming
And ah, i
hope it comes to him soon

Love
They are an illusion
Some people dont believe
Some people wish they did
Some think they are unfair
Some have found them
They are trying to get through
This noise and dirt
They are trying to reach out
To Leron and Laureatte
They are looking for themselves
And no, it ain't just working
And ah, i
really hope they do

Panic Attack

There's a bomb for sale
Maybe Three
And the lives are for free

It's a market place
it's a hurricane
it's a senseless bleed

We can rant
We can rave
But we cannot educate

We can hate
We can condemn
It's such a bleed

There's power for sale
For the sale of power
And their souls are for free

It's a swamp of lies
It's a dirty hide
It's a terrible dream

We could change
We could win
But will we ever see ?

We can tame
We can scream
It's a senseless bleed

I saw the victims' family holding hands
I don' t think i have ever been there

There's money in the pit
There's hell to be lit
But the freedom, it's for free

This is your God
This is mine
Let's fight and set us free

There's blood on his hands
There's blood everywhere
But will this ever heal?

We can be the change
We can be the peace
But can we ever educate?

I see the peace rise like a flower
I saw that this was just a dream

Under My Bed

Its under my bed, somewhere and i don't
No i don't got the time to chase
Its a litte dark and dusty and my feet
They could use a little change
So i went crashing down the hill, trashed on a pill
And everything was one sweet haze
Time took a travel as i tripped on this daze
I went rushing back to my bed and fell flat on my face

She frowns at me and wonders why
Why i never ever tried to come back
Its a little dark and dusty and my mind
It could use a little change
So i went soaring through the sky, trashed on this high
And everything was one sweet blaze
Time took a standstill as i leaped through the laze
I found myself all alone and my bed was over my face

They took me over to the hilltop where we gazed
Gazed at the imprisoned sky
It was a little dark and dusty and the moon
It could use a little change
So i went sailing with this kite, trashed on this night
And everything was one alarming maze
Time ceased to exist as i tried to free me from this cage
It took me back to where i was and i found it under my bed

All Just Good For Me

An arrow she penetrates like
A sparrow she sweetens like
A sugar she blends like
A salt she tastes like

She dont care for what the world says
She do care for what i have to say
And its all good
Its all good for me

An anesthesia she alleviates like
A supernova she novelties like
A cake she ices like
A caramel she tastes like

She dont care for what the world says
She do care for what i have to say
And its all good
Its all good for me

An asteroid she amazes like
A cartoon she smiles like
A perfume she smells like
A strawberry she tastes like

She dont care for what the world says
She do care for what i have to say
And its all good
Its all good for me

An aerobic she fits like
A bird she sings like
A flower she looks like
A Heaven she feels like

I dont care as long as its good for me
And this
Its all just good for me

Killer Instinct

Summer Shade, it flows
Like a drop of water
Through the sky

Insects crawling on the clouds

Autumn Sun, it sets
Like a pinch of sand
Through the night

Buried in its deepest darkest void

Winter Moon, it howls
Like a tortured wolf
Through the mire

Its life, it trembles with fear

Ocean Wind, it burns
Like a friction igniting
Through the cages

Torpedoes coming back to life

Gamma Ray, it freezes
Like a cold execution
Through the chair

Lightning embraces the blind

Killer Instinct, it grows
Like a magic beanstalk
Through the soil

Germinating with evil desire

Acid Rain, it stains
Like a poison virus
Through the veins

Desecrating the minds with infection

The last remaing hour, it chokes
Like a world about to end
Through the hands of time

The pinch of sand slipping away

Warmer Than Ice

Need to watch out for the
Spiders
Needs to look out for the
Cooks
They boil their brew in poison
Its a web of lice
Enough to entice

They stole their gold from the
corridors
They stole their bricks from the
Walls
They isolate their slaves at home
Its a prison of choice
Its colder than ice

Forced to take a breather from the
Oven vent
Forced to stand alone in the middle of
Nowhere
They let go only when they need freedom
Then they leave it to the mice
That how they roll their dice

Turned the gold into paper
Turned the slaves into masters
They melted the spider venom with an oven vent
A safe home for the lice
It was warmer than the ice

The Next Song

Got a pocket sized book to learn French
Loaded in my pocket
Put my Flannel shirt on

Put on my dying old Fedora
And some sun glasses
Got them at a gas station

Wore my favourite canvas shoes
With my socks pulled up
The star was fading

Got a memory of her
In a photograph
Took it with my I pod touch

There's more
There's more
Its in the next verse

Went down to the skating rink
Got me some ice blades
Yeah,i fell in love

Smashed up a ten strike
Down at the bowling alley
The bowling alley food sucked

So we went to the bar
And we got more drunk
The bar tender threw us out

Walked to the diner
Scrambled just like eggs
We were a dollar short

There's more
There's more
Its in the next verse

Asked if i could drop her home
She said she wasn't from here
She was from out of town

So i took her back to my hotel
Where we made love
Some real sweet love

Headed down for some breakfast
it was a buffet
She wasn't really hungry

A piece of juice bacon was
Hanging from my mouth
Wrapped some bread in a napkin

There's more
There's more
Its in the next verse

Started up my rental to
eighties glam world
Gotta really hate that

She smoked her Du Maurier's
While the window was still shut
We didn't speak a word

Just then a cop came
and he caught us for speeding
Told him i loved his glares

Shocked, she looked at me
and asked what i was wearing
I said its in the first verse

There's more
There's more
Its in the next song

Shine

Smoke blows off the west coast

The east coast plays, oh so cold

The cars, they are moving so slow

Seems like they are going nowhere

You don't return any of my calls

The standard you play, you're so busy

I am just here in my lodge

The wind it makes me , oh so crazy

We've got to find a way out of here

Before somebody else does

A million people waiting in line

Like you and me, waiting to shine

The flower case is empty

Looks like the water's dried up

The petal skin on your forehead

Slowly it turns from grey to red

These walls, they make a hollow sound

You see we were always unbound

The grease stain on my forehead

Slowly it fades from grey to dead

We've got to find a way out of here

Before somebody else does

A million people waiting in line

Like you and me, waiting to shine

The smoke has now disappeared

Leaving me without your touch

The cars, they have now been parked up

Seems like they have reached to nowhere

You don't return any of my calls

You see, i just have to understand

I am just here in my lodge

The wind is now my friend

We've got to find a way in this place

Before somebody gets hurt

A million people waiting in line

Like you and me, waiting to shine

Shoes (It's a disaster but it is only natural)

Chimney's burning

Train's a rolling

Now she's going

Home

Street Light's burning

Truck's a rolling

The cargo's moving

Home

Fire's burning

Earthquake's a rolling

Hurricane's swinging

Home

Heart's a bleeding

Fear's a rolling

Now she ain't got no

Home

How can we feel

What they are going

Through?

When they don't even

Have their own

Shoes

Fund's a raising

Hypocrisy's a rolling

Concert's playing at

Home

Lies' a printing

Story's a writing

Party's a happening

Home

Stock's a crashing

Money's a building

Now they've got a new

Home

Child's a drowning

Water's a drying

Now they crave for a

Home

How can we feel

What they are going

Through?

When we cant even

Lend them our own

Shoes

So lend them your shoes

No don't lend them your soul

I said lend them you shoes

No don't lend them your soul

Name ?

Connections

All we ever strive for

Nothing gets worse

Than not gettin' to

Reach out

I wanna shout

I wanna scream

I wanna hear

What you'd like to feed me

I wanna burn

I wanna rest

I wanna push out all the pieces

You stabbed in my chest

So take the fall

I have tried

The best i could

To reach out

So now we are left with just one

Thing to do

You did all you could and left me here

With attitude

Things wont be the same you pray

Hey

No there ain't no god to save this day

No

Are we really living inside?

Are we really terrified?

So then why all these wars we fight?

Someone takes the blame

And someone makes a name

Are we really living inside?

Are we really terrified?

So then why all these wars we fight?

Someone takes the blame

And someone makes a name

Name

All we ever strive for

Nothing gets worse than

To be blamed for

I wanna breathe

I wanna sing

I wanna spit

Out my feelings

I wanna dig

I wanna seek

The truth is bigger than

Than the lie that is bieng sold

So take the plunge

Feel the throttle

Its just a pull

Away from what you were

So now we are left with just one

Thing to do

You did all you could and left me here

With attitude

Things wont be the same you pray

Hey

No there ain't no god to save this day

No

Are we really living inside?

Are we really terrified?

So then why all these wars we fight?

Someone takes the blame

And someone makes a name

Are we really living inside?

Are we really terrified?

So then why all these wars we fight?

Someone takes the blame

And someone makes a name

A Stirrer And A Straw

Sunday morning

Newspaper

Scrambled eggs

And toast

Coffee mugs

Stirrer and a straw

I wish you

Were here

How i need to go for a drive

Think i need to get my head wired

How i need to go for a drive

Under the cloudy sky

Writing pads

Scribbles on the wall

Paint on your cheeks

Memory

The lights go out

Just like that

I can hear you

Sing

How i need to go for a drive

Think i need to make me feel alive

How i need to go for a drive

Under the cloudy sky

School bell rings

We make new plans

A trip to the hills

Disappear

Telephone rings

In the car

Distraction

Hangs the wire

How i need to go for a drive

Think i need to get my head wired

How i need to go for a drive

Under the cloudy sky

How i need to go for a drive

Think i need to make me feel alive

How i need to go for a drive

Under the cloudy sky

You're my Sky

You're my Sky

You're my Sky

You're my Sky
