Weight, the world it takes
and we shake
the passion it breaks
cause we're falling down
but don't look down to the ground
cause we're jaded now
you broke your neck
so lonely
it's all turned to grey
you waste your time with stolen rhymes
so lonely.
Grey plus blue and green
the prophet holds something
but qu'est-ce que c'est?
Cause our minds can't stand
the need to comprehend
and in ancient times
they held the signs to all of our fates
it's all turned grey
we waste our lives with lonely types
help us, s'il vous plaît
Sailing on the seas of lust
the men held gold
but turned to rust...
Cause we're all falling down
six feet underneath the ground
please hold my hand, I won't look back
the oceans have turned to black.
Sailing on the oceans alone
We must travel 50 miles from home.
Cause we're falling down
but don't look down to the ground
and we're jaded now
you broke your neck
so lonely
they sky has turned to grey
in ancient times they held the signs
to all of our fates.

On a Lake

so far from home
thinkin of you, you'll never be alone
you're in my head you see
I've gone away
I'm on a lake
and im past...
walked by the fire
what would you be thinking tonight?
im deep in the woods, but feeling alright
youre in my head you see?
ive gone away
be back someday
ive gone awry
we were only twelve when we met
behind the trees with the leaves that were brown
and I love you still to this day
you've gone away
won't see your smile again
but you're in a happy place.
i finally found a friend to call my own
her name is El, i promise she'll never be alone
she's mans best friend, you see
but she cant replace what you and me had back in the day

Welcome to the Deep Web
04:41
|

You can find me in the deep my friend, once again
I'll be climbing
in the deep web
and you can find me in the trees my friend, once again
I'll be climbing...
they say you cant complete the trek
you came, you saw, youll all come back
to dredge through the muck and sledge
its all a lie to get to the other side
it hides it cries but bide your time
the hell the lies a billion crimes
beneath the surface you're shallow as hell
you'll wish you never saw the ghastly shell
find me in the deep my friend, once again
ill be diving in the deep web
i went for a minute to find myself
late at night i surfed the crest
i cant forget what i saw that night
you cant unsee the horrible sights of hell
never again i wont look back
ill write this song and tell the tale
into the deep i went my friend
dont go down there, you wont be the same again

Stars and Heavens
04:24
|

Oh my my, look at the stars and heavens
with a friend she lied, their heads on the pavement
the broken sky drifts to the infinite
a billion mothers in line, exploding in an instant
when the rain falls down
dont let them take you back
oh third light
is all of this worth it? oh no
they broke her life
she tried to convince them
but she worked so hard, single mother with a crucifix
the only hopeful road lies off in the sunset
its a pale blue life
dont let your dreams beehive
the earth is a very small stage
on a vast cosmic arena
think of the rivers of blood
spilled by all of those generals and emperors
so that in glory and triumph they could become
the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot
like it or not
for the moment the earth is where
we make our stand and I pray
that you wake up and live every day

Concord on Fire
04:00
|

when society burns tonight
maybe ill see you in hell
with my honey by my side
delusions are clear in sight
twenty thousand screaming heads in El Paso, hasseling
go sucker punch yourself for fire
say one thing, do another
oh my god, your mother is proud
what the hell is the point of light?
i can see you fine with my candles
but the wick is burning fast...
freedom on the fourth of july
concord on fire
what the hell is the big parade?
we havent even won a championship yet
so go take a step back
and go pack your bag, sack lunch
and go fix your home before you cross
that surly water bridge

Double-Edged Sword
04:32
|

she had a plan
to leave her man
it was all a crime, she met him there
she had little words
spoke them to the earth
she couldn't bear to face him in the eyes
she killed that man
and washed her sins
but felt deflected, conflicted cause of him
she wanted to get him back
it was all too late
he's off track, he's long gone, past the summertime
dont cheat on your lover now
dont cheat on your lover now
the story goes
she found her foe
the lover came and found them two in bed
then he slit her throat
and threw her in a moat
she didnt die, she just lied
in a ditch that night
she avenged her man
and came again
to kill her husband
cause he first killed her
a tragedy of sorts, oh no
a mutual homicide
dont cheat on your lover now
dont cheat on your lover now...

Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time
money coming in from all kinds of ways
we were all gettin paid and life was okay
till the man he came along
that old man came along...
he said son we know about your illegal trade
and how I am getting paid less than you on a given day?
and thats why I'm here to jealously say
that you better move along
yes you better move along...
if you stay away from me
ill stay away from you
why cant we follow these rules
and life will get us through
life will get us through
cause the man had other things in mind
he brought me to a judge to answer my crime
thank god that judge didn't want to put in the time
and my case moved along
yes my case was moved along
if you stay away from me
ill stay away from you
why cant we follow these rules
and life will get us through
life will get us through
well here i am ive survived my wrongs
i can still kick back and think my thoughts
cause the man was angry but not very strong
and then he moved along
oh that old man moved along...

San Francisco Going Down
04:32
|

when i stare off into the clouds
san francisco going down
dont you cry today
and i said all those little words
youre like my little mother earth
and when stand down off that ledge
dont cry today
turn off the pavement and shuffle off that side today
when i said all those little things
youre like my little angel with wings
but you cry today
when I stare down off my head
dont lie awake and let those fade away
that you care about today
cause all i want at the lake
is what ill be...
and what I want today
is love and peace
when I stare in your pretty eyes
youre like my angel in the skies
but dont you cry today
cause when I stare down from that ledge
dont cry today
but turn off your stereo
and shuffe off that side today
all i want anyway
is what we'll be
and all i want today
is love and peace
