Asteroids

let rocks be thrown right on target, start the fire
let these rocks go, out to harm us
greed, desire

and with proper placement and selective throws
let them go, they're landing all around you
still, with proper placement and a side-armed throw
taking aim at all these fucking villains
after all is said & done

we're in charge

keep them in fear for, what they stand to lose
dancing on thin ice, how dare you, how dare you, how dare you,
how dare you choose Truth

(keep 'em down)

let these rocks guide harm's intentions
planet's sleeping

(keep 'em down)

let this rock hide from infections
haunted dreaming
rocks in motion, hard to handle
while on fire

and with proper placement and selective throws
let them go, they're landing all around you
still, with proper placement and a side-armed throw
taking aim at all these fucking villains
after all is said & done

we're in charge

keep them in fear for, what they stand to lose
dancing on thin ice, how dare you, how dare you,
how dare you choose Truth

(keep 'em down)

let these things brew
and then you're screwed
how I told you so

Season's Drain 

oh, all of the Seasons drained me...
oh, all of the all of the all of the Seasons
drained me...

for sale is our minds with time

I've been believing in you
I've been believing it's true
though I'm a sucker for truth
I've been believing in you
you've got to want to pull through
threading the needle with groove
I've been believing it's you
and I'm a sucker for views

we're blind, in our minds, from our lives

we lie more with time, we don't realize

I've been believing in you
I've been believing it's true
though I'm a sucker for truth
I've been believing in you
you've got to want to pull through
threading the needle with groove
I've been believing it's you
and I'm a sucker for views

the news waters it down
and leaves you without a view
opinions for fools

trade your tv for brews

I'd trade fluid for ounce
and not watered down with views
oh, swim in this pool

trade your anger for youth

Season's Drain

I cut it off while he slept,
and went out with it into the Camden rain.
The head dripped on kerbs and takeaway boxes,
it dripped on yesterday’s news.

The suits in All Bar One notice my missing forearm.
The face in my lap does not seem to disquiet them.
On the screen they show another slaughter
aboard a crowded Greyhound bus – a man decapitated.

The General’s beard nestles between my thighs.
I’ll use his mouth till it begins to smell.
I peel back his eyelid and there is no me in his eye.
He dreams of Babylon and dates.

There is a marbling on my skin
that was not there last night.

Stolen Reality

I was in the middle of the road
contemplating how and why I'm broke
and all the people stopped and stared
and acted like they fucking cared

but reality won't let me be
stole my soul

I was often sitting all alone
realizing what I didn't know
and if I could, I'd pay you back
if I could, I'd make it last

but reality won't let me be
stole my soul

Frown The Throne

frown my new throne
I think too deep
I gave way to sharks
that swam 'round me
I laid nay despite
the filth within me
to say I'm a bore
is to give into me

now on the sunny side
I warm up
as if the sun will never come
or be enough
now on the sunny side
I warm up

frown the throne, let it go,
who are you to rule me
frown the throne, let them know
we are never leaving
frown the throne, give the go
let's break control
frown the throne, it's getting old

I feel it through clothes
right down through to my skin and bones
and it's just what I need

oh, love and hate gave way to greed, indeed

now on the sunny side
I warm up
as if the sun will never come
or be enough

frown the throne, let it go,
who are you to rule me
frown the throne, let them know
we are never leaving
frown the throne, give the go
let's break control
frown the throne, it's getting old

it's getting old

Born of the Sun

I came here, Born of the Sun
I came to warm everyone
boy, did I misjudge the heat
the cold here has been killing me

I may have once been so cold
hurting the ones I loved most
boy am I sorry for them
I should have hugged them instead

I'm back, now Born of the Sun
I came to warm everyone

and they're born of the sun....

Born of the Sun, Born of the Sun

I came here, Born of the Sun
I came to sound the alarm
waiting for Evil to freeze
has iced me up to my knees

now I long just to be warm
I know I'm not of the norm
boy I feel sorry for them
they should hug it out instead

I'm back now, Born of the Sun
I came to warn everyone

& they're born of the Sun

Qualms

dug in deeper than a five toed mole
filled with secrets that overflow the hole

(they fill the hole)

I'm lost in thought as I sit here and recollect
all of the things I've seen

(they can't let go)

got nothing better to see
you are a feather disease
thinking applies not to me
kidnapped security

and if you want it
I can crawl off slowly
and if you want it
I can regret being
and if you want it
tell me, what does "it" mean?

why is my mind working against me

I'm lost in thought as I sit here and recollect
all of the lies you've told
at cost and bought as I'm hit here with disrespect
but at what time were you sold?
distraught with thought as I lie here and reconnect
just want to bury my gold
all often sought by the victims of your neglect
should I just do what I'm told

and if you want it
I can fade off the screen
and if you want it
I can regret living
and if you want it
tell me, what will "it" bring?

got nothing better to do
soak in and stomp on my mood

that was an episode
this is an anecdote

and if you want it
I can crawl off slowly
and if you want it
I can regret being
and if you want it
tell me, what does "it" mean?

why is my mind working against me

Riverbed

in the riverbed of your head
I've forgiven you of forgiving you

in the river's death, past the myth
I've forgotten you for forgetting you

tell the truth...

what you feel, what you know
is a hoax
what is real, how you glow
I don't know

past the riverbed
if you hop the fence
I've neglected you, I've neglected you?

in the riverbed of your head
my decisions were nothing vicious, too

with the river dead, make amends
of forgotten truths, of forgotten myths

lies for fools...

what you feel, what you know
is a hoax
what is real, how you glow
I don't know

past the riverbed
if you hop the fence
I've neglected you, I've neglected you?

what you feel, what you know
is a hoax
what is real, how you glow
I don't know
what's unreal, how we float

Precipissed

I'm so pissed
about this
about it
I've about had it

what am I to do
I've gotta share the world with you
as if I had a choice
as if you could hear my voice
it's not about to die
it's not about to

I'm so pissed
I'm ripshit
contagious

what am I to do
gotta share the world with you
as if I had choice
if I only had a voice

Thanks for listening!
Thanks to all collaborators!
