Lyrics to: In My Mind
Written by: Wesley Rieben and John Huser

The places I've seen
Inside my mind
The darkness I've been through
In my mind

Took one day
At a time
To make my
Life divine
Times like these
I can not lie
Times like these
I am alive

I am alive (x3)
Hyuh!

Take me to the top
What does it take
To make the best of everything

What does it take (x2)

The places I've seen
Inside my mind
The darkness I've been through
In my mind

You only get one shot at life
Don't let it pass you by
You only live once, then you die
In the end, you will see why

In My Mind

Lyrics to: Love In Vain (Love In Vein)
Written by: John Huser and Daniel Tequida

I am Jack’s intravenous drug.

Take me in your arms, seduce me
Make me your slave, eternally
Entering in your veins, deep down you know
The craving for me drives you to insanity

Down in a hole and I can’t let go
No matter how much pain it causes me
The love I feel is incomparable 
To life without you with me 

I keep telling myself I’ll stop, but when, I’ll never know
You come around and pull me down.
Are you with me or against me?

I am Jack’s toxic love affair.

Inhale my disgraceful desire
Shoot myself in the foot again
Chasing the dopamine dream
Inspired by your kiss, and caress on my skin

Here I sit alone in this world
Haunted by my soul’s addiction
And I don’t know if I have it in me 
to resist the temptation

Here it comes again, I got that craving sensation
Been a while since my last fix
Where are you when I need you?

Smear me with your grey waste of space
Fill me with your perfect paradigm
Lost in your transcendent escape
I want to leave this world behind

Penetrate my skin
fill me with your poison
I can’t get enough 
and it’s always too much

Give me your body and soul
Sickness fixed like a thousand nervous tics
Give me your morals, conscience, and heart
You’ll be mine til death do us part

Erasing emotions
Like you never felt them
Nothing can stop me
Nothing can stop me now

I am Jack's narcissistic pride.

Lyrics to: Omnipotence
Written by: John Huser

Walking through the dark 
I see something catch my eye
It’s an orb of dimly lit light
I feel a sense of wonder 
Of what I could see
Is it making itself known to me

A force to be reckoned with
Interdimensional
Known only by senses beyond the fifth
Pure good and primeval

Omnipotence
Omniscience
Omnipresence
Omni what!?
Omnipotence
Omniscience
Omnipresence
Omni wha---t

Another one appears
Different shade and color
What is that supposed to mean
Disbelief of what I see before me
Are my eyes playing 
tricks on me

Leading me to a place unknown
By my own instinct I go
Upstairs to my bedroom
Shadow lurking on my stars and moon

Omnipotence
Omniscience
Omnipresence
Omni what!?
Omnipotence
Omniscience
Omnipresence
Omni wha---t

Into the dark it ran
Disappearing into the night
Time of the witching hour has passed
Can’t manifest within the light

Trapped in a maze
With beings interphase
Play with your body and mind
Lower vibration energy they dine

Surround them in the light
Use your intuit sight
Dissolve them with your mind
Fill it with burning bright

They can not escape
Interdimensional maze
Shifting multiphase
Across all time and space

Foreign to our sun
Visitors from beyond
Polluting spiritual bond
Banish them, they’ll be gone

Awaken in your prime
Decalcified third eye
Astral project and fight
They can’t withstand our might

Omnipotence

Lyrics to: Breath
Written by: John Huser

Come with your breath, breathe in your being 
Focus on the nothing, inbetween
The inhale, the exhale, a moment of suspension
Come with your breath, breath is not seen

Be aware of what you hold inside
 Intimate self, knows where to hide
Released me, I am free from attackers
Released from the chains, hold me down, hold me back 
I'm released, me, from the shifting tide

Take a look around you, breaking through with the light
As the seasons are turning, they're breathing into the night
And discerning is rather far from how we have learned
And the sound and the sight is a carnal delight . . .
Is a carnal concern

Breath

Lyrics to Full Circle
Written by: Ezekiel Gonda and John Huser

Though I've been sheltered by the shade
My roots are strong, my roots are strong
Though you walk above me
You have no idea what I'll become
What I'll become

Driven through the tree line
My shell is gone, my shell is gone
Though you soar way on high
You have no idea what you have done
What you have done

Natural selection is happening
Your time has come, Our time has come
The fruits of labor are ripening
Now we come full circle we are one
We are one

Though we've been sheltered by the shade
Our roots are strong, our roots are strong
Though they walk above us
They have no idea what we become
What we become

Full Circle

Lyrics to: Rusty Spurs
Written by: Jason Oliveros

Death been knocking on my door lately
But I haven't been home
My shoes say I been out long baby
These shadows say I'm a lone
I'm tired of this life of an outlaw
Let the horse men take me away
I know giving up really sounds wrong
But living straight just ain't my way

Take me down, string me up
Take my knife, take my gun
I'm too tired, I'm too tired
I'm too tired to run

Made my living off crime and danger
Never thought it'd get old
Now my face is on wanted papers
And I lost my horse on the road
Got one bullet left in the chamber
A gut a whisky and blood on my sole
The barkeeps done called the rangers
And there's no where for me to go

Take me down, string me up
Take my knife, take my gun
I'm too tired, I'm too tired
I'm too tired to run

All these people surround me
But none of them really know
The pain and the bloodshed that I've seen
But they love the sound of it all
We're just demons tryna be angels
In this would-be garden of eden
And we've been condemned here for so damn long
Maybe death's just where we belong

Take me down, string me up
Take my knife, take my gun
I'm too tired, I'm too tired
I'm too tired to run

Lyrics to: Night Terrors
Written by: Kemuel DeMoville

There’s a bloody hand on the window.
There’s a gory wrench on the floor.
There’s a spectral shape in the darkness.
There’s a wolf howling at your front door.

You’ve got
Night Terrors!
Swinging away at the dark.
Night terrors!
You’re tearing all the shadows apart.
Night terrors!
That icy fear goes straight for the heart-
Straight for the heart.

Agatha Christie’s lost her Marples.
Sir Connan-Doyle is not Holmes.
And every under-world king
Is duping Dupin
‘cause poor Auguste has no Poe.

You’ve got
Night Terrors!
Swinging away at the dark.
Night terrors!
You’re tearing all the shadows apart.
Night terrors!
That icy fear goes straight for the heart-
Straight for the heart.

Every mouse trap has been sprung.
Mrs. Wendice’s phone has rung.
The red-headed leagues have all been joined.
And even your junk mail’s been purloined.

There is a child who sleep walks when the moon’s bright.
There is a gypsy who dances in the fire light.
There is a shadow who knows the hearts of men
And a sad-eyed governess who’s lost out on the Fen.

You’ve got
Night Terrors!
Swinging away at the dark.
Night terrors!
You’re tearing all the shadows apart.
Night terrors!
That icy fear goes straight for the heart-
Straight for the heart.

Beware speckled bands
And the detached monkey hands.
The tiger’s behind door two.
The most dangerous game is you.

You’ve got
Night Terrors!
Swinging away at the dark.
Night terrors!
You’re tearing all the shadows apart.
Night terrors!
That icy fear goes straight for the heart-
Straight for the heart.

You've got
Night terrors!  Oh - - -!
Night Terrors! (Night Terrors!)
Night terrors!  Oh - - -!
You’ve got
Night terrors! (Night Terrors!)

Lyrics to: Contact the Mothership
Written by; John Huser

Drifting off into another dimension
A journey I feel willing to take
And if I can return again
Would I want to?

Outside in the cold
Strange sights in the sky
Yet I feel bold
Then I awake in the night
Strange sights in the sky
Yet I feel bold
Then I awake in the night
Outside in the cold

Then I lose control

What are these things, I really want to know
It's getting harder to hide
Revealed you have been, so let it all out
Or I will never confide

Never confide
I will never confide

Green waves spiraling over me
I'm feeling paralyzed
I close my eyes, try to sleep
Afraid If I were to rise
Green waves spiraling over me
I'm feeling paralyzed
I close my eyes, try to sleep
Afraid If I were to rise

I've seen it before
When I was a child
A green glowing orb appeared
And I lived in denial
When I was a child
A green glowing orb appeared
And I lived in denial
I've seen it before

Reflecting on the time I encountered a being
Protected I feel from this entity
Doubted the scene I saw as I awoke
I should have asked if it spoke
I can’t explain my dismissing behavior
Cling to consensus reality, it’s safer

Lyrics to: Debt Slave
Written by: John Huser

Ripped from the
reality of being free
Punching the clock and trading hours of my day
To barely provide for my lot because of insufficient pay

The cost of living is getting higher
Our wages remain the same
Lay them off before they can retire
Forever living as a debt slave

Debt Slave
You’re a fucking debt slave
Debt Slave
You’re a fucking slave

The man in the mirror through these eyes
looks like another me
Trapped in a glass case, frozen in ice
What am I seeing before me

True power lying dormant 
Unknowingly given away -Given Away-
To those that would deny me
Freedom to live in my own way

Debt Slave
You’re a fucking debt slave
Debt Slave
You’re a fucking slave

Leaders shifting money around making power plays
Cover their tracks well with their paper trail maze

All for themselves and none for the 
blood sweat and tears of those on who they rely
Breaking backs and giving their lives 
to support cold blooded bold faced lies

War Machine 
Feed the War Machine
The Machine needs money
Give it to me
War Machine 
Feed the War Machine
The Machine needs money
Give it to me

What will it take to remove their 
unrighteousness rule -War Machine. Feed the War Machine-
They've turned our people into
 an overworked fucking mule -The Machine Needs Money. Give It to Me-

Debt Slave
You’re a fucking debt slave
Debt Slave
You’re a fucking slave

Walking a fine line
Into the grey
Both benign and malign
The middle way

Light in the dark
Dark of the light
Carry the mark
Lose the fight

Soul energy
Sold for eternity

Debt Slave

Lyrics to: My Tears
Written by; Jaimie Lay
Edited and Arranged by: John Huser

My tears flow down the river of deceit,
My memories gone; the lies I keep.

The wind blows through me as my body decays,
The sun shines down it’s burning rays.
With the knife that cut through the soul that bleeds,
And left behind it’s endless needs.

To be nothing carried upon a breeze.
Standing on your earth that breathes,
Wishing with my heart that bleeds…
Take me please.

Standing by the aspen tree; 
amongst the falling leaves,
The coffin shut; 
the girl who grieves,

The forest sighs; the tears I cry,
The endless days I wander by;
Seduced by your eyes…
The burning welts; the tears I cry,

To be nothing carried upon a breeze.
Standing on your earth that breathes,
Wishing with my heart that bleeds…
Take me please.

Love is a candle; the wax that melts,
Like your whip that left my welts.
The lines of fate; to cross your gate.
The doors open wide; the pain grows inside.
My palms open to the heavens thunder; strike me down,
Carry me under.
Help me up, no such luck.
Wake me, please, I want to leave,
I scream. I dream. I live. I die. I cry.

To be nothing carried upon a breeze.
Standing on your earth that breathes,
Wishing with my heart that bleeds…
Take me please.

My Tears 
Original Text Written by: Jaimie Lay

My tears flow down the river of deceit,
My memories gone; the lies I keep.
The wind blows through me as my body decays,
The sun shines down it’s burning rays.
With the knife that cut through the soul that bleeds,
And left behind it’s endless needs.
Love is a candle; the wax that melts,
Like your whip that left my welts.
Standing by the aspen; the falling leaves,
The coffin shut; the girl who grieves,
The forest sighs; the tears I cry,
The endless days I wander by;
Seduced by your eyes…
The burning welts; the tears I cry,
The tears.
The lines of fate; to cross your gate.
The doors open wide; the pain grows inside.
My palms open to the heavens thunder; strike me down,
Carry me under.
Help me up, no such luck.
I scream. I dream. I live. I die. 
I cry as each day goes by and by.
Wake me, please, I want to leave,
To be nothing carried upon a breeze.
Time goes by, I still cry,
Standing on your earth that breathes,
Wishing with my heart that bleeds...

Lyrics to: Self Importance
Written by: Daniel Tequida
Daniel performing an acoustic version with a different tuning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BL7obMWqJY

With all the powers that I wield
They are nothing but a shield

But this is not a raw deal
A barrier to deflect the attack
A mirror to reflect it right back
A defense without a gap

Well I don’t take it personal
That is my arsenal with no equal

The assault is a merciless siege
The battle rages on perpetually
But it’s just me against me
A war of futility

As the merciless onslaught ensues
I can not lose it’s victory I choose

To the victor goes the spoils
A snake with endless coils
Oh, my invulnerability it foils
Oh, thus begins my toil

My self importance will deny you
The self important is inside of you

A force reckoning into myself
Has led me to mines, that I wish not to delve

After smelting the ore of my soul
My metal is strong and pure
And I can now forge the sword 
to cleave my self important core

The wounds will bleed and I will be sore
But I will carry this burden no more

Just like the heroes of old
Battling inner demons untold
The winds of change blow so cold
Soon my self importance will fold

With my sword and my shield
Stronger than any steel
And I can now battle the horde
Oh, Time to settle the score

Self Importance

Lyrics to: Dream World
Written by: John Huser, Zeb Ohland, and Javier Santiago

Take me away I can’t leave on my own. 
Trapped in a prison within my own mind. 
These shackles and chains that are binding me up. 
They’re weighing me down and I just want to get free. 

I’m lost in a dream world. My own little dream world. 
It’s not like the real world. It’s all just a dream. 
I’m trapped in a dream world. My own little dream world. 
Avoiding the real world, and I live in the dream.

I’m lost in a dream world my own little dream world.
I’m trapped in a dream world my own little dream world.

It’s about time that I do right in life. 
When there’s so much time left and I just want to be me.
I can not get this evil out of my mind. 
I search for you to gain a deeper insight.

I’m lost in a dream world. My own little dream world. 
It’s not like the real world. It’s all just a dream. 
I’m trapped in a dream world. My own little dream world. 
Avoiding the real world, and I live in the dream.

I’m lost in a dream world my own little dream world.
I’m trapped in a dream world my own little dream world.

Invasive thoughts are infecting my soul, filling my head like a bottomless hole.
Tearing away at my presence of mind. Unanswered questions are all I find.  
Hunger eats me from the inside out, consumes everything, I just wanna shout.
I’m like a beast obsessed, driven desire, to satisfy my thirst for knowledge higher.

I’m lost in a dream world my own little dream world.
I’m trapped in a dream world my own little dream world.
You’re lost in a dream world, your own little dream world.
You’re trapped in a dream world your own little dream world.

One thing I miss is your taste and your smell. 
It’s leaving me longing for the next time I feel. 
These trinkets of you are a constant reminder. 
Taking me back to when our beds were on fire. 

You’re lost in a dream world. Your own little dream world. 
You think it’s the real world. It’s all just a dream. 
You’re trapped in a dream world. Your own little dream world. 
You‘re chasing the real world, and forgot how to dream.

You’re lost in a dream world, your own little dream world.
You’re trapped in a dream world your own little dream world.

Feeling the pain from my head to my toes. 
Writhing inside, and outside it grows.  
Why do you do this to the one you adore. 
You have more than your needs, but you still want to whore.

You’re lost in a dream world. Your own little dream world. 
You think it’s the real world. It’s all just a dream. 
You’re trapped in a dream world. Your own little dream world. 
You‘re chasing the real world, and forgot how to dream.

You’re lost in a dream world, your own little dream world.
You’re trapped in a dream world your own little dream world.

I’m lost in a dream world. My own little dream world. 
It’s not like the real world. It’s all just a dream. 
I’m trapped in a dream world. My own little dream world. 
Avoiding the real world, and I live in the dream.

You’re lost in a dream world. Your own little dream world. 
You think it’s the real world. It’s all just a dream. 
You’re trapped in a dream world. Your own little dream world. 
You‘re chasing the real world, and forgot how to dream.

We’re lost in a dream world. Our own little dream world. 
It’s far from real world. It’s all just a dream. 
We’re trapped in a dream world. Our own little dream world. 
We’re living the real world, and we’re asleep in the dream.
