BLUNT

Lyrics

Wake up in the mornin' and I roll out of bed
Rub my eyes and scratch my head
Go to the kitchen for a glass of OJ
Ain't nothin' left so I start my day

[Verse 2]
Walk outside and there's a ticket on my car
Should've paid it off but it's too late now
Sit on the curb and I think for a while
Just one of those days where everything is down

[Chorus]
My life is a mess
My life is a mess
Oh my god
Everything's a mess
My life is a mess
My life is a mess
Oh my god
Everything's a mess

[Verse 3]
Try to take a shower and the water's cold
Guess I should've paid my bill
Stuck inside a shithole for all of my life
Somebody get me out of here

[Verse 4]
Hate my job
But I gotta pay rent
The guy next to me makes twice as much
Sometimes I feel like the world is against me
But when it gets like this
I just gotta remind myself

[Chorus]
My life is a mess
My life is a mess
Oh my god
Everything's a mess
My life is a mess
My life is a mess
Oh my god
Everything's a mess

My Life is a Mess.    Lyrics in description

Polar Bears are everywhere in Churchill Manitoba
Copyright 2025. Vesuvius

[verse1]
Up in the north where the frost bites deep
Where the wind hums secrets that the tundra keeps
The stars hang low like they’ve lost their way
Churchill wakes in the icy gray

[Chorus]
Polar bears on the streets tonight
Ghosts in fur under pale moonlight
You can hear their breath in the frozen air
In Churchill town
You best beware

[Verse 2]
Snow piles high where the train tracks end
A place where strangers turn to friends
But the white kings roam
No throne in sight
Their kingdom stretches past the night

[Prechorus]
The ice cracks loud
The river groans
The bears walk soft
Like they’re carved from stone

[Chorus]
Polar bears on the streets tonight
Silent hunters in the fading light
Eyes like embers in the northern glow
In Churchill town
The wild runs the show

[Bridge]
They own the alleys
They own the shore
Legends whisper they’ve been here before
No fences hold them
No walls too tall
The Arctic’s call
It conquers all’

Bears in Churchill      With lyrics

Ye Are the Light

Some songs punch.
Others whisper truth through a smile.

This one? It just points.

We’ve cracked atoms, cloned organs, launched billionaires into orbit
but underneath it all, we’re still chasing sparkle, still measuring worth in glitter.
Like cavemen in suits.
Still trading shiny rocks.

This track doesn’t mock. It doesn’t rage.
It simply walks beside you like a friend
and wonders out loud,
How far have we really come?

[Verse 1]
Two cavemen squatted by a flame
Each one trying to stake his claim
One had amber, one had flint
They called it wealth, they grinned and squint
No words for greed, no thoughts of stocks
Just wide-eyed trades for shiny rocks

[Chorus]
Now we wear watches worth a home
Crowns of chrome and gemstone phones
We’ve mapped the stars, we’ve hacked the clocks
But we’re still just trading shiny rocks
We crave applause, we mine the earth
We chase reflections, not our worth
Progress hums and power mocks
While we keep trading shiny rocks

[Verse 2]
We build machines with minds that learn
Send billionaires on joyride turns
We scroll for likes, we chase the praise
Wrap empty lives in golden chains
We’ve got rockets fueled by debt and talk
Still kneeling at the shrine of rocks

[Chorus]
Now we wear watches worth a home
Crowns of chrome and gemstone phones
We’ve mapped the stars, we’ve hacked the clocks
But we’re still just trading shiny rocks
We crave applause, we mine the earth
We chase reflections, not our worth
Progress hums and power mocks
While we keep trading shiny rocks

[Verse 3]
They keep us dazzled, keep us numb
With polished dreams and glittered crumbs
We trade our time, we sell our peace
For fleeting highs and a longer lease
We're moving fast but going nowhere
Chained to shine we shouldn’t wear.

[Bridge]
But what if we all saw the thread
Stopped chasing shine, and lived instead
Just food and shelter, peace and rest
The kind of wealth that feeds us best
They’d call it crisis, we’d call it peace
The day the buying had to cease

[Final Chorus]
We’ve built the skies and split the seas
But still bow down to jewelry
We dress it up, we call it worth
Still selling dreams for bits of dirt
Progress hums and power mocks
While we keep trading shiny rocks

Still Trading Shiny Rocks

[Intro] [lead violin]
Oooo...
Indoctrination...
Mental insemination...
Impregnate the mind...
With your lore of lies...
Break the ties...
Your vicious mind...
Ohhh... no. no. no.

[Verse1]
You must be stopped...
Before it's gone too far...
Raise the bar...
It's too much to handle... too much to hold...
You steal youth from those who you control...
Losing thier young lives to the bull shit that you spew... 
How grand of you...
Program the people based on your needs...
Your desired design...

[Verse2]
No. no. no. no. 
We won't let them go... without a fight... you better bring all your might... 
We will prove you are not right...
We will relinquish you and your design...
To take control of everything devine...
You are the sinner six. six. six...
The number of the beast...
So it is this on which we shall feast...


Leave the youth out of your design...
I dare you to come after mine...
If you do you'll know the fight... with all of my might... ooo.. yaaa...
You purchased all the farm land...
You killed food with your own hand...
You act like it's not you but we know... ooo... the truth...


You are like Soros of the new...
We see right through you...
Why do you not show yourself the way that you used to...
After your wife left you with all the hush money you gave her and the ultimatum too...
Because she knows enough to bury you but you have the power to exterminate the truth...
Long in the tooth... 
Life is fleeing you... 
Your losing your cool... your touch... your ability to make it work for you...


Time is growing short... for the plans that you sort...
Your mind has distorted from your original plans so much that you have lost your touch...
Like everyone in your court... 
You all just distort the truth to work for you...
Embrace your wicked plan... your time here is growing short old man...
The curtains have been pulled back... 
You will soon lose your attack...
You better watch your back...
Your friends know where to find you...


So leave this weary world and let us live in peace again...
This world needs not old men like you...
You've made all your cash with the blood of stolen lives...
It's time you stand up like the samurai...
Put the knife right through your eye...
Seems a righteous way for you to go...
Leave this world before you take another innocent life... life... life. Ooooo...
Mmmm... mmmm...

All songs, -music and lyrics - are copyrighted..
As an author - composer, I like to sing, with my natural voice or slightly transformed with different devices, according to my mood. I also play all kinds of keyboards and a little bit of 6-string guitars, both acoustic and electric.I'm pretty old, but I've still got a fairly wide vocal range, though it's getting lower and lower.
I also have a small home studio called Vesuvius( thx Sufjan Stevens! )
I like to work alone, or with two or three partners, male or female, highly qualified.
And I get some much fun to discover amazing new talents on Soudcloud. That's why I follow more people than I'm followed by. I'm just too curious..
