Laughable Delusion
04:49

Skyline, like a waveform
A dance of peaks and valleys of adamantine brick and crumbling mortar
Lifetimes, like a great storm, advance til dissipation
And the next one seems just a bit shorter
Permanence is a laughable delusion
It lacks imagination
Like the grownup who never left his hometown
As solid states approach their dissolution
You might contend it’s not quite the end
But don't pretend it’s never gonna break down
System, a contraption
A beast or living blueprint yet intangible until it’s made real
Wistful for the rapture, remembering too late it takes an apocalypse
And how does it feel?
You can watch a star turned inside out
From the comfort of your bathtub
But never mind the karma that you’ve racked up
Curious how it all began to move the whole world at a standstill
Still, it’s headed for a landfill
Empire, like an illness
Metastasizing grandeur overtakes itself just to sustain it
Wildfire into stillness, upon the concrete jungle as its architects
Fail to contain it

On the Scrap Heap

All around the wheel of deal we feel and we go
Understand the deal, we’re here and they get, we go
They singing all fine, all mine, to the window
Everywhere you see the wheel it feel where we go
Men with heat will seal the deal and we be heroes
You bet it’s surefire, your tire full of shrapnel
One day you’ll find your spool unwind
Don’t make it wait
It’s much too late
La la la la la…
Don’t forget the wheel it steal the real that we know
Down the street careens upon the heels of people
It’s singing don’t cry, it’s your time, through the window
One day you’ll find your life unwind
Don’t fear, no fear
Look up, it’s already here
On the scrap heap On the scrap heap On the scrap heap Every single little one
On the scrap heap On the scrap heap On the scrap heap Every single little one

Mish’lin Man
04:27
|
|||
|
Several lights, the street is filled with static tonight
Amazing view, I'm above the rooftops, observing the few
When I'm up here, I can master kindness through investigation
And when I'm below, the negative mass calls for interrogation
I'm inflated!! Yet soft just the same
Making the move to level off the name of the game
I'm the Mish’lin Man
My heart is 30 stories high
I'll do what I can
And my girlfriend is home and together we'll be free
The Mish’lin Man
Memories of him floating away
Holding evil hostage, I'm packed with spears of love
Tires under my belt
Rolling to town with my big white glove
Fingerprint dusting the news of the day
I can see below, the swirling river of tears
I'll state my case to the mountain of fears
The Mish’lin man

Yeah, Na naw ma nee ma naw ma
Yeah, na naw ma nee ma naw ma now
Na ma Now
Why do you run no stay?
No where to run no stay.
Why do you run no stay?
No where to run No!"

Crown Shyness
02:59
|
|||
|
Stand up high and look around
Do you stand on shaky ground
No need to fight to defend your crown
Start it once then start again
I think we started out as friends
Turn it
Turn into a battleground
Oh to learn that you’d nearly drowned
How the trees refuse to lean
Don’t want to get too close
Afraid to limit growth
Let the light in all around
Does it have to be so hard for the duration
I don’t really want a war, just conversation
It’s kinda like a lost and found
And I like when you’re around
How can I help you get up off the ground

Snap and Turn
02:46
|
|||
|
Everything you say I take the wrong way
I don’t know it’s just a game I guess
Twisting the meaning like it’s something I can fold and break apart, snap and turn
I can live without it I can live my life
Nothing that you say can make me change my mind
If there is any meaning I can find it now to analyze, snap and turn
I think we’re free now but this is the price
Every silence feels like it’s a mile wide
If anybody asks just say it didn’t work
Spare the many reasons it won’t matter now
All I ever wanted was remaining love but what I got was snap and turn
What I got was snap and turn
What I got was snap and turn

Superheroes
02:33

Superheroes, they’re not zeroes
I’d like to see one, I’d like to be one
Jump tall buildings, in a single bound
Land on my feet, then kiss the ground
Flash is faster, than I can see
Supergirl is the one to be
Captain Marvel does what she can
But there’s somethin’ fishy ‘bout Aquaman
Aquaman, Aquaman
Trident spear is the thing to fear
Sushi dinner is in the plan
But there’s somethin’ fishy ‘bout Aquaman
He rides around on a dolphin’s back
He talks to whales and that’s a fact
If you’re under water, then he’s your man
But there’s somethin’ fishy ‘bout Aquaman
Spiderman is a swingin’ cat
Robin hangs out with a bat
Captain America I’m a fan
But there’s somethin’ cool about Aquaman
Superman and the Wolverine
Wonder Woman is on the scene
Iron Man can lend a hand
But I think I wanna’ be Aquaman
Aquaman, Aquaman
I think I wanna’ be Aquaman

Here We Go Again
02:30
|

Call it out when you know you’re right
Here we go again
I don’t want to put up a fight again
Didn’t I see this once?
And I think I’ve been here before
I can show myself the door
Here we are for the 100th time again
I don’t know where to draw the line
Here we go again
I know I told you once
Oh but I told you twice before
If I say once more
It’s your life
Is it like you say
I just want to go away
Can we do this another time
Here we go again
Don’t you know I don’t care who’s right
Again
Here we go

You’re My Clone
03:54
|
|||
|
I feel we’ve been down this road
As we kneel with our souls on the floor
And with this new horizon, eyes ablaze
We'll begin to unravel this twisted maze
With hearts and bones
It’s safe to say
You’re my clone
You’re my clone
Zero separation in a mindful sense
Minus spoken words, we mend the fence
Just one touch we’re electrified
We can learn everything as we're side by side
With hearts and bones
It’s safe to say
You’re my clone
You’re my clone
With hearts and souls
Each and every day
You’re my clone
You’re my clone
We’ve traveled many years ago
With hearts and bones
It’s safe to say
You’re my clone
You’re my clone
With hearts and souls
Each and every day
You’re my clone
You’re my clone

Water’s Fine
03:48
|
|||
|
When you know
that someone can see you
It’s hard to do
what you really want to
It’s so easy to wonder
Am I good enough?
Oh no, I’m not really good enough.
I want to grow
As big as an ocean
But all I know
Is restricted motion
And I always wonder
Am I good enough?
Well no. Is anyone ever good enough?
Jump in, the water’s fine
Maybe I’ll get better with time
Will I ever
Have that ocean view
When all I do
Is compare myself to you
Jump in, the water’s fine

Loneliness
02:37
|
|||
|
My home is dark
Within my windows
Outside the moon is covered
By a silvery pillow
It’s calm and peaceful
Maybe I can stay forever
In my head
I want you to know
loneliness is only an illusion
It’s no stronger than me
I want you to stay
Occupy this space with me together
Alone, alone with me
We could be something
But we don’t have to be
We can just enjoy the silence
We can let it breathe
Strangely we are never
more apart
than when we are together…
I want you to know
loneliness is only an illusion
It’s no stronger than me
I want you to stay
Occupy this space with me together
Alone, alone with me
Alone, alone with me
