Cranked in the Lab💀🤘 vol.3

This is just me playing around with some samples and doing some live  sequencing on a Launchpad X.  It's cool what you can rustle up in a few minutes.

Where's My Mosh

Lyrics

You say 
You love me
But you don't 
Show it to me
You say 
You trust me
But you've got 
Your secrets

I look 
At your face
But I don't recognize it
I hear 
Your voice
But I don't understand it

You're hiding 
Something from me
I try to understand you

I notice 
Your presence
But I 
Feel nothing
I see 
Your lips
But they tell 
Me nothing

I look 
At your face
But I don't recognize it
I hear 
Your voice
But I don't understand it

You're hiding 
Something from me
I try to understand you

I feel 
Your hand in mine 
But I do not 
Realize it
I know 
We are far away 
From each other that's how it is 

I look 
At your face
But I don't recognize it
I hear 
Your voice
But I don't understand

You're hiding 
Something from me
I try to understand you

You're hiding 
Something from me
I try to understand you

I try to 
understand you
understand you
understand you

I try to 
understand you
understand you
understand you

You're hiding 
Something from me
I try to understand you

You're hiding 
Something from me
I try to understand you

You're Hiding Something

When Three Or More Are Gathered. . .

It washes over my soul again
Surrounding me, controlling me
Feel the weight of your words today
Frustrating me and suffocating me 

It’s all you’ve ever wanted just relive that lie 
Again and again
I walk a line too thin I’ll never reach that place
A gift from within

I close my arms to misery
To breathe new life 
And set me free

I need to find a way home
It’s cold in the darkness inside my head
I need to find a way home
And silence the madness when I see red

See the walls become sand with time
To rescue me where I’m supposed to be
Have the space to reclaim what’s mine
A vision now where I was blind to see

It's all you ever wanted
It's all you ever wanted
It's all you ever wanted
Breathe new life and set me free

Home

G.B.C. - Foothills

What have I done wrong today
To make you feel right?
Pleasing all my enemies
No one here's a friend of me
Push away the ones who stay
Keep no one in sight
Alone is where I wanna be
The silence gets the best of me
---------------------------------------------
Shut it out, just shut it out
In this cesspool starting to sprout
 ---------------------------------------------
Cutting off from everything
And everyone outside
I'm so much more at peace with me
A lonesome soul here spiritually
The toxic social manifest
Of new century
It's only getting worse at best
A cesspool growing petri dish 
---------------------------------------------
Shut it out, just shut it out
In this cesspool starting to sprout
This lack of substance gaining ground
So shut it out, just shut it out
---------------------------------------------
Solitary in confined
The mental clarity
Away from all the trendy things
That people will regurgitate
---------------------------------------------
Shut it out, just shut it out
In this cesspool starting to sprout
This lack of substance gaining ground
So shut it out, just shut it out

Wherever We Go -  Robert Grigg & Combstead

I'm sinking on a sea of hard to reach.
Setting out on setting suns, it's time to do your job.
Bend forward on a bed of lightning rods.
Starting new is getting old, it's time to check the odds again.

Four to one, I know what's on you mind.
Three to one, you won't like what you find.
Two to one, you've had your fun.
And one on one, I come undone.

Let's watch the worlds collide like suicide.
All we know is come and go, drifting out of reach.
Try drinking from the cup of lost beliefs.
The past is gone and you can't stay, we better beat the odds today.

Four to one, I know what's on you mind.
Three to one, you won't like what you find.
Two to on, you've had your fun.
And one on one, I come undone.

Four to One

Homeless Man

A song about our insignificance in the universe

LYRICS:

Much older now
Repeating history
It holds us down
With uncertain victory
We claim to speak
For our friend and families
We bury deep
In our hearts and our memories

Behold the night!
In the light of a burning moon
A long goodbye
To seasons returning soon
A lover's sigh
On the breath of the morning air
A songbird's cry
In the silence that lingers there

We're just humans
Made of stardust
We're just humans
Made of stardust

Under evening skies
You were making demands
In the shadows where bad guys make their plans
And there was a thought
I was hoping to share
About the meaning of life
But that's not why we were there
You meant for the moon
To maintain your disguise
But the light was a gift
And it opened my eyes
Then I saw what we were
Tiny and small
An illusion of power
Because we're nothing at all
We're nothing at all

Behold the night
It ends too soon
The stars are fading
Into the dawn
The tired moon recedes

We're just humans
Made of stardust
We're just humans
Made of stardust

Humans
