The Tower
04:40
|
|
||
I built this tower
I built this tower
When I knew not of my power
And I forged this ammo
I forged this ammo
In the heat of my vengeance
And now how bitter the taste of the victim-stories
And as the lead melts it says:
I want to betray Miss, Miss Misery
And I want to surrender please
My heart and give it back to me
Yes, surrender
I am the architect and you are the architect of what
you perceive
Even if unconsciously dreaming
And on the playground of our minds we built a
prison
Before we knew how to listen
I want to betray Miss Misery
And I want to free myself
Free myself from the programming of self-abuse

A Trick Of Words
03:46
|
|
||
I can string words together into a lie
Then tie them together
Over your eyes
For a trick of words can cull a herd
But we’re not quite sure what we just
Heard
And I will move forward one step
As I fall through the cracks
Then greet myself with a quiet laugh
We will peel back the mask
To reveal what’s been asked
No resistance to the undeniable evidence
For we realize and we recognize ourselves beyond
the veil
Beyond the veil
Beyond…
I can string words together into a line
Then push them off the edge of time
For a trick of words can cull a herd
But we’re not quite sure what we just
heard

Dopamine Thief
04:53
|
|
||
He looked into her mind
With a shell to find
The pearl with no hope
He said “there’s no hope but,
I will prescribe you a life you can survive
Don’t worry, don’t worry
You won’t feel a thing
Feel a thing,”
And she said:
Dopamine thief I love you so,
But I have to let you go, I have to let you go I…
Dopamine thief I’ll miss you so
But I have to know what it’s like grow
Beyond these walls
These walls,
These walls
She closed her eyes and clenched her teeth
While the next dose of an empty promise
Made it’s way through her veins
And as she stared at the sky blankly
He turned to her and said,
“looks like things are improving.
Improving.”
And she said:
Ain’t nothin’ stoppin’ me from takin’ my next sweet
fall
And it’ll be glorious and divine
For it’s my right to take into the night
For even with all the unwelcomed guests
I was afraid to hear
But I’m here listening now
Dopamine thief I love you so but I have to let you go
Dopamine you mean so much to me

Your glare cut right through all time-lines
And we were floating in the abyss
And it was then I realized I had missed the mark
completely
And as I stirred my coffee the words flew right outta
my mouth I couldn’t sugar-coat the meaning
‘cause my blood-sugar was low and
No neurotransmitter transmitted a single signal to
me
And I...
I…didn’t…
I…didn’t…
Mean a thing I said that day
I didn’t mean a thing I said
But my hands are covered in red
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish,
I wish I could time-travel with The Doctor
We would fix this in an instant
We would bend the space-time
Continuum and mend the moment before you could
ever notice the difference
I didn’t mean a thing I said that day
I didn’t mean to be mean or to hurt you with my hands of red
But now I wish, I just wish I was undead
Your stare cut right through
My hair, bone, blood and arteries right into my
heart
And as I steeped my tea he walked away from me
But with a wink and a smile
And I realized I had been given another
Start!

Transmutation
05:15
|
|
||
This faulty programming is romancing
The Roman empire in your skull
And it’s on fire
And it’s gonna collapse
It’s gonna collapse
Don’t relapse, just relax
It’s heaving it’s last breaths before the next phase
of days
Between deaths
Between Death’s next Great Escape
Into the womb of what’s-to- come
And the tomb of what’s-been- done
Done, done
And it’s gonna expand
It’s gonna expand
Be the beautiful mess that you be
Sweet darlin’
With no shame flag-wavin’
No martyr-like savin’
No crown of thorns to mourn
Alchemize
Alchemize beyond what you theorize
And realize you could never contain
Even the remains of what you were
And what you are
Made from the stuff of the stars
You were made from star dust
We, we are light into form
We are born
light into form
we are born
light into form
we are born

Raphael
05:25
|
|
||
Can you bi-locate?
Tell The Doctor, tell The Doctor I’ve misplaced
My sense of time
Can you help me find my sense of time?
And I just want to understand
And I just want to hold your hand
And share the space between the sounds and
shades of blue
And be between the worlds
As we do
Because:
We’re only sick as our secrets
Yes we’re only sick as our secrets
And if you let me dear
I’ll keep it safe as a treatment
Will you teleport?
I’ve got a message, I’ve got a message for the court:
Ain’t no one to blame,
Ain’t no one to shame
For such a silly game
Of miscommunication
We can call up Raphael
And he’ll heal all those goddamn hells
Within our inner-prison cells
Raphael, bring your staff
Gabriel, bring your cup
Mikael, bring your sword
Ariel, we are ready
Ready
We’re only sick as our secrets
We’re only sick as our secrets
And if you let me dear I’ll keep it safe as a treatment
And guide it back to the light

Holographic Wounds
03:44
|
|
||
Don’t think you can outrun yourself
Don’t think you can outrun yourself
Don’t think you can outrun the gun
Or solve it with a book from the shelf
Of yesterday’s glory
But I think I can, I think I can, I know that I can,
I think you can, I think you can I know that you can,
I know we can tell a better story
One with far less bullshit
One where we can permit
And admit to the possibility of actually being free
from these holographic wounds
Holographic wounds
And we could assume beyond the white night
And cross-stitch these heart parts back into a nice
And nice fit,
Don’t think you can outrun yourself
Don’t think you can outrun yourself
Don’t think you can outrun the gun
Or the bullet of what you are to become
And don’t think you can possibly
Outrun the fun of drowning in the stew of your
beautiful neuroses and just breathe
In the symbiosis of what you know in the bones of
your soul, bleeding free
From all the attempts to straight-jacket you life
Don’t straight-jacket your life
Don’t think you can outrun yourself
Don’t think you can outrun yourself
And I can’t wait to see what I’ll be
More of me
Momento mori
Momento mori

The Projector
03:48
|
|

It’s funny what beliefs can do to you,
It’s funny what beliefs can do to you
It’s funny, it’s funny, it’s funny
How we cannot see
Half the time what we’re thinking
Lost in the script (and thick in the shit) of our own
mental-movie- madness-projection
Projection
And it’s a…
Tragic comedy
The props are different but it’s
the same damn play
It’s the same damn play
‘till you change your game
It’s the same damn play
‘Till you change
And it’s funny how the look in your eye
Reflected perfectly back to me all the lies
I had so carefully plotted and toiled for so many
years
That I had grown a city,
A city of fear
And ain’t nothin’ like the mental-nukes that noose
around the heart
It’s become quite a fine-art
And it’s a…
It’s funny what beliefs can do to you
And it ain’t so funny how we are
Caught in a projection of our
Own self-destruction
Someone find the ‘off’ button
Someone find the ‘off’ button
Someone please find the ‘off’ button
Now.

Between The Worlds
06:34
|
|

I am stretched across two worlds
Like a burning bridge,
And I can’t decide which way to go
My tail is curled
So I explode.
Forgive this indecision, sir
My revisions thus far have been sub-par at
best that I may as well have failed the test
But it’s a new day
And a chance to celebrate
I’ll even invite my enemies for tea
While we talk strategies
And come to the indecision
On how best to be free
How best to be free
How…?
And I am compressed between beliefs
Like a worm-hole, I warped
I warped what I perceived
And I bent,
I bent the truth
It’s not a game I recommend
But y’see ma’am it’s just the thing I tended
to do as I fended like a fiend for clues
But it’s not a game I recommend you play
It’s a new day
Let’s celebrate
And it’s a new night
And I want to surrender the fight
This time,
Yes, I want to surrender the fight
This time
I am now underneath all words,
I am, I am
And I am between,
I am,
Between the worlds
