Hey boy
You think you want a choice?
Maybe a little change of view?
Something to tell you who are you?
Well, then
Slide with me to Wonderland
But first an answer please from you
You want the red pill or the blue?
Oh, this one could get you high
This one could take you low
How high or low you think it goes?
You’ll never know unless you try.
Hey, now
Don’t get to thinking much ‘bout how
This chance means giving up control
You ready? Let’s go test your soul.
Oh, this one could get you high
This one could take you low
How high or low you think it goes?
You’ll never know unless you try.
Oh, this one could take you up into the sky
Or throw you right down to the ground
Yeah spin your head around
Come on, you know you want to try
Ahhh, give it a try

What Happened?

I wait till the sun goes down for you to come home to me baby
Your sweet loving touch well I can’t get enough and I want me some more
But as the sky grows dark it hits me with a warning straight to my heart
I made all these plans around one man, now I’m sitting here alone
…And you might not be coming home
What the hell happened to you, baby?
Come on, give me the truth, honey.
Cause I been waiting for you, lover,
And I don’t like feeling the fool.
See I talk so sure but deep inside I’m so insecure, babe
Your love it’s fine I know you’re mine I can see it in your eyes
But when you’re away these crazy stories play out in my mind
And every hour we're apart is damn, wasted time
…And of course there’s also my pride
What the hell happened to you, baby?
Come on, give me the truth, honey.
Cause I been waiting for you, lover,
And I don’t like feeling the fool, darlin’
I waited all night for you
Are you out there somewhere
Lying? Broken? Bleeding?
Maybe you’re just thinking
Or you’re drinking
Are you entertaining second thoughts about us?
I’m still waiting here the sun’s gone down won’t you come home to me,
Oh that sweet loving touch well I love it so much and I can’t get enough.
The sky is dark and still that warning, warning, warning in my heart
I got no other plans just to love my man, please don’t leave me alone.

We Are
04:03
|
|

We are
All I can say is yes
We are
You and me we know
There’s no easy defining, and there’s also no denying
We are
We know
We can’t explain it but
We know
No simple answers ‘bout if this thing gonna grow, or how far this thing will go but
We know
I don’t think that words exist in the lexicon of man
No scheme of classifying anyone will understand
So without a definition we will follow this simple plan:
To do, to be, to know…to love
We love
All I know today is
We love
I’m sure hoping it will stay but
We got no promises to prove, and there’s no one but us to answer to so
We love
Oh we love
Oh we love
And we are, and we know, and we love
And we love, and we are, and we know
And we know, and we are, and we love
We are

End of the World
04:01
|
|

The world’s gonna end today
Maybe not for me
Maybe not for you
But the world’s gonna end today
Somebody’s just not gonna make it through
Yeah their world’s gonna end
And there’s not one thing we can do
Someone’s gonna lose
It’s all going down
It’s all going wrong
Someone’s gonna lose
Finally lose that fight they’ve been fighting for so long
And they’re gonna lose
That’s just the world’s oldest news
Someone’s gonna slip
Someone’s gonna fall
Over the edge, lose their grasp on it all
Things are gonna end
Things are gonna change
So much they might not even recognize their own name
Someone’s gonna break
Oh they’re gonna cry
They’re gonna want to lay down and die
But they won’t
They will go on
Someone’s gonna win
Pick up their ruined world
Get back up and start again
Yeah someone’s gonna win
Sometimes the world has to end, before life can begin
And they’re gonna win
Godspeed to them
Godspeed to them

Dreams
04:24

Phantasus calls for me
I close my eyes to sleep
Behind the veil a dream
What am I telling me?
The sky is made of sand
Dry grains of green and brown
It pours between the clouds
And fills your open, waiting mouth
Morpheus calls for me
I close my eyes to sleep
Behind the veil a dream
What am I telling me?
I seek among the crowd
Your face on every man
Father, son, and lover same
What are you to me, explain?
Phobetor calls for me
I close my eyes to sleep
A nightmare or a dream?
What am I telling me?
You play along the branch
The tree, a thousand feet
Your steps no fear to tread
Your fall as silent as my dread
…Box with broken seal unhinges
Shining Aleph warps the fringes
Silver sphere its edge bows out and
Shatters sending Oneroi out
All that has or ever will be
Has transplanted my heart for me
Tosses bombs into the driveways
War-torn scene, suburban byways
Hypnos beds with Pasithea
Opens my inner eye to see a
Landscape I never dared imagine
Sweat-twisted skin, hallucination
Erebus and Nyx’s offspring,
Black-winged sons of night’s sun hidden
Earth and water, rock and wood
Bugs and serpents, crawl from childhood
I am screaming…screaming at you
All my nightmares
Are coming true

Together Once
05:18
|
|
||
|
We were together once before,
you and I.
Fundamental threads entangled
In the Ever before time.
The universe took form
Matter, time, and physics born,
And with them space to separate us.
Nothing unraveling into all creation.
But underneath it all,
some theory kept us bound as one.
We drifted long apart
Tempered in the fires of a thousand stars.
Then drawn together through the heavens vast,
Added our gravity to Earth’s at last,
Cast on and off in evolution’s
endless circle dance.
Now I caress your skin,
Feel the heat of our coupled spins,
And know the soul that dwells within
your dust.
Oh I’d forever hold you near,
But it’s not for us to linger here.
A fleeting moment and our stuff grows restless,
Obeys the call of entropy relentless,
We hold no power over laws
that lent us this time.
But,
I will not fear that end
I know we will meet again
No space or time exists
that can keep us apart
And when Infinity
Circles round for you and me
Folds back down to singularity...
We’ll be together once again,
you and I.

Quick to the Tongue
04:09
|
|

You just sitting there feeling so smug, well
It sure come easy for you to judge
You say it good and quick I know you will
You see your chance, you move right in for the kill
You never ever take your mama’s advice, she said,
“Don’t say a thing if you can’t say it nice.”
You show no mercy and no care for another
Well that’s your right, but let me tell you brother,
When mistakes are made you're quick to the tongue,
but when the
Stakes are raised you've lost more than won
What will you do when around it comes?
Where will you be when the day is done?
You say you’re being straight just speaking your mind, well
The simple truth is that you’re being unkind
Keep crushing spirits, sending good folks to hell
You keep it up you gonna be by yourself
When mistakes are made you're quick to the tongue,
but when the
Stakes are raised you've lost more than won
What will you do when around it comes?
Where will you be when the day is done?
Think
before you speak
Oh how it hurts
Why make them bleed?
You
can say your truth
And still speak kind
You ask me why?
Cause all that poison kills the killer too
I'll tell you something sure I tell it true
You keep this nasty up the way you do
You’ll have no friends and have no lovers too, you'll
have no one left to criticize but you.
When mistakes are made you're quick to the tongue,
but when the
Stakes are raised you've lost more than won
What will you do when around it comes?
Where will you be when the day is done?
Where will you be when the day is done?
Tell me, where you’ll be when the day is done?

Make Me Forget Him
03:45
|
|

Well my mind is far away, my dear.
But make no mistake, my body’s right here.
You want me to be yours and only yours,
Is that what you want, are you really sure?
Because, my darling, you’ll have some work to do.
My heart's fixed on someone, and baby it ain’t you.
So I ask you, can you make me want to come
‘Round to you?
Can you make me forget him? Darling,
Kiss his name right off my lips.
Make me forget him, I want to tremble...
...‘neath your fingertips
Drown me in your eyes, make me realize
I don't want him, I only want you.
I can see it in your smoldering glance
What’s on your mind ain’t exactly romance.
Are you jealous? I can’t say you shouldn’t be.
You’ll just have to break his power over me.
Can you make me forget him? Darling,
Kiss his name right off my lips.
Make me forget him, I want to tremble...
...‘neath your fingertips
Drown me in your eyes, make me realize
I don't want him, I only want you.
Drown me in your eyes, make me melt inside.
‘Cause I need you...
To make me forget him.

Ruin Everything
02:32
|
|
||

You think you know me but you don’t.
You think I’ll behave but I won’t.
Behind this smiling mask of good girl,
There lies a sleeping bitch who’s ready for her turn.
Don’t hang around here any longer.
This storm is only growing stronger.
I’m like a dark and wild tornado,
Awful and beautiful with no plans but to blow.
I’m gonna ruin everything.
I’m changing rules to keep you guessing.
First I’m denying, next confessing.
The dam is broken and the river won’t stop rushing,
I want it all or I want nothing.
Can you race this car before it smashes?
Can you catch this wave before it crashes?
You think you’re good, but just remember,
The phoenix can’t rise without some embers…and ashes.
I’m gonna ruin everything
Maybe what I mean is, I’m crying out for help,
I’m feeling all confused; need you to save me from myself,
Or maybe I’m a player and a liar, do you think you can tell?
I’m gonna ruin everything
I’ll give you one last little warning
Then it’s up to you to dodge a burning.
Don’t let me take you down with me, ‘cause
What happens next even the Devil can’t foresee.
I’m gonna ruin everything
I’m gonna ruin everything

Dry Paper Heart
04:57
|
|
||
|
I am burning out
I am breaking down
Can you still see,
The living, breathing woman-girl who wrote the fairy tale of me?
And now, how she,
Fears the chapters of the crone, turns her pages reluctantly?
A maiden goddess traded life for death and true love’s kiss.
Amalthea longing for the salt and foam abyss.
As their beauty faded did they wish for more than this?
Inside, I feel,
Blue stains creeping through my veins, slowly freezing me to stone.
Time thieves, time steals,
Rolling me beneath its weight, pressing me to pulp and bone.
As the wheel comes to its rest, what will be left of me?
A parchment doll, with dry paper heart too flat to beat?
The stories of all my dreams come true, in ink too faded to read?
I want to shine forever.
I want to love forever.
I want to feel forever.
But there is no such thing as forever.
I am drying up
I am wearing thin
Fold this dry paper heart,
Keep it safe next to yours.
Don’t let it blow away.
Don’t let me blow away.
