American Dream

Mama’s sittin’ at the table
Dad, he’s got a gun
He says ‘I gotta admit it I am not myself, someone get me outta here’
Oh we’ve become too poor
We can’t pay the bills no more
Johnny sees
He cries and just pulls up his sleeves
Johnny picks up his magnum
Pours gasoline down the hall
He says ‘We best be burnin' so the state won’t be takin’ what’s left of what we love and own’ Alright
Well we’re in deficit
It’s better than taking a bullet
There’s no time to see
We’re running cause we’ve got no money
The queen bee has lost all it’s honey
Oh it’s funny
We’re running from the scene
We’ve been chasing the American dream
The taxman has come and the house is in flames
He says ‘I saw a boy runnin’ but ended up on his knees’
Doo doo doo doo doo doo do (2x)
Forget what they tell you
You can’t run away from your problems, they will face you

Chiron

Oh wounded healer in the sky
Shall I wake up hermaphrodite
I wake up in the morning and feel chiron rise
I could never love you and heal this heart of mine, of mine, of mine
Have I been living inside my mind
I’ve been working like walking dead
Could you help me find my breath
I wake up in the morning and feel chiron rise
I could never love you and heal this heart of mine
I’ve been living inside my mind
I wake up in the morning and feel chiron rise
I could never love you and heal this heart of mine
The loud centaur’s storming is opening my eyes
It’s the old forewarning
It’s time to let you cry
Just cry, just cry
When I see you I must confess
The poison arrow has been my death
Old self is crossing the rainbow bridge
We’ll co-exist
Can’t find my love, now

Glass Window

What if my body was made of stone
Would you smash my glass window
What if my darkest secret was nothing that could hurt you
You are so empty
You are so empty
Help me
I cannot control me
I cannot pretend you are not real
Taken by surprise you
Figure out the love from you
Figure out there is no other God
What if my body was invincible
Would you still try to break me
What if my vision was to help you see your blindness
You are so empty
You are so empty
Help me
I cannot control me
I cannot pretend you are not real
Taken by surprise you
Figure out the love from you
Figure out there is no other God
Cause you’re not real, you’re not real ohhh
I’ve lost my head and now I’m spinning
I’ve seen my demons right in front of me
I’ve gone so forward now I’m backwards
Waiting for the day that it goes away
What if the sun had never shown
Through your malignant darkness
Help me
I cannot control me
I cannot pretend you are not real
Taken by surprise you
Figure out the love from you
Figure out there is no other God
Now taken by surprise you
Figure out the love from you
Figure out there is no other way
I cannot resent you
I cannot regret you
I cannot pretend you are not real
Cause you’re not real, ohhh yea
You’re not real

Beautiful And Old
04:51

You hide away all the shame
Your beauty’s done
You love to use the scalpel now
You can’t be reasoned with
The media’s sunk in
You’re broken skin
Why can’t you just let real in
I guess my time has come to chase the real few
Because you know they’re hard to find
Leaving out the shadow’s blinding
How did we get so beautiful and old
How did we get so beautiful and old
The joy is gone
We'll live without
We cut out our hearts and sculpt around our body parts
You can’t seize the day
When you’re chasing it away
Spendin’ all your time in the mirror
It can’t be clearer
I guess my time’s expired
The machine’s a liar
You really know your enemy
Wisdom feels good anyway
How did we get so beautiful and old
How did we get so beautiful and old
Ohhhhhh
We’ve expired
The world’s on fire
Now we take in all the truth
I guess my time has come to
To obliterate conditioning
How did we get so beautiful and old
How did we get so beautiful and old
We’ve expired
The world’s a liar
Now we know
We’ll transpire
The need is dire
Now we’re through
How did we get so beautiful

Ain’t no backup girl in this backup world
How dare you think I’m just a score
Well I made up my mind
That I’m not that kind
You’ve been playin’ me all night
And it just ain’t right
Ain’t no second hand in a gospel band
Was told I could play like a man
So I’m catchin this train
And I’m on my way
To the riverside
Where no one can hide
Well they told me I’ll never be enough
There’s no place for a woman who’s tough
Well they made up their mind
That I’m not their kind
Yet they watched me all night
And they took my rights
I ain’t no back up girl
I ain’t no back up girl
I ain’t no back up girl
Ain’t no back up girl
Well they made up their minds
That I’m not their kind
Well they made up their minds
And I made up mine
Ain’t no back up girl
I ain’t no back up girl
I ain’t no back up girl
Ain’t no back up girl
Ain’t no back up girl
I Ain’t no back up girl
I Ain’t no back up girl
Ain’t no back up girl

Vanishing Twin Syndrome
01:24

Every fire that burns the earth
Is someone else’s water
Every man for himself
Is watching his own movie
In the past
Don’t let this last
Oh make it pass
Well it’s in the past
Every man on the rescue team
You can stop the searching
Acid drops that burn the sky
Waters someone’s garden
For me
Just let it be
Oh let it be
Just let me see
Let me see
Just let me see
Vanishing twin syndrome

Last One Standing
04:47

I need a strong foundation
A sweet sensation
I need a high vibration
To lift my life
Sometimes I need admiration
An occupation
Some validation
To feel alright
We seem to reach the sky
When nothing’s on our side
The last one standing high
Tonight
Well I’m reaching forty
Can’t ignore thee
I’m questioning my
Pursuit in life
I get a little bit lonely
When I’m forced to be phony
My phantom limb
Was left behind
We seem to reach the sky
When nothing’s on our side
The last one standing high
Tonight
I hope you feel the rage
Of the old world decaying
We’re in a brand new age
We’ve been waiting
Maybe I just want things easy
Taught to reach for the stars
Pushed out slow
Exiled for feeling
I can’t always be where you are
I guess I feel alright
I’ll dance into the night
The light’s are far too bright
I’m fine
We seem to reach the sky
When nothing’s on our side
The last one standing high
Tonight
Tell my heart that I’m coming down
Tell my heart I'm coming down

Old English

I met a girl named Iris
She showed me the way
I never look the part
Right from the start
So people keep thinkin' I'm strange
I've turned to God in silence
And I've turned to drugs out loud
I fed the sound
And found ways around
Cause somethin' meant nothin
I found
I cast a shadow whilst leavin'
I left my home too proud
Well I smiled and yearned
For one last turn
Cause somethin' meant nothin
I found
Won't you pray
Won't you pray
I saw a cobblestone driveway
And a station wagon on the ground
It was my third time there
Old english I swear
My birthplace meant nothing
I found
We're full circle now
