Desert Vultures

lyrics:

throw your money into the fire 
dance as the ashes rise
they all laugh as you chase your tail
just another fool in a cell
and they line their pockets as they wait for the world to burn

pull your shackles off of the ground
(just because you were late to the party)
doesn't mean they're fucking around
(productive slaves have to believe they are free)
and it's enough to make you feel crazy
(that disconnect inside you keep pushing down).

It's a shame it all boils down to a sludge bearing no humanity
An age of selfishness and greed
I hope you don't lose yourself as you feed.

late to the party

Late To The Party

Bit of a concept song this one. It's about the turmoil one would face with a split personality like Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde. It draws it's title as a letter written from Dr, Jekyll to his lawyer friend Mr Utterson who later found his friend dead with a note explaining his reasoning...This is that note...

Lyrics:
Why you gotta say those things you do? Whats it gonna take to get it through your head? I am human just like you and when you're acting like its fine to take a little dig all of the time something has to be said. Someone has to save this dickhead! Why do I feel I can't get through? I've got a brick wall and the brick wall is you, but we're one in the same. You mother fucker you even stole my name! How long did it take you to find out your staring at a mirror as you shout? Look a bit harder and you'll find you're arguing with your own mind.
Jekyll and Hyde.
Didn't you know your brain was fried? Did you catch yourself in your own lie? Was it the blood on your hands, or the anger you could not understand? Ride the emotion like a wave. Hopefully you'll see that you'll be another personality masking the pain, so take your potion from the ocean and let it all fade away. A man with a dissonance inside trying to cope with both, one at a time, but he's losing control. He's desperate to save his own soul. So he does the only thing he knows, makes a decision to let go, and without looking behind now he knows that he controls his own mind.
Jekyll and Hyde

When your feeling crazy, it could always be worse. Take a little step back and enjoy the world. Time is a construct, I hope you enjoy yours!

Dear Mr Utterson

You may have heard this before if you've been following along but this is a new version. Some drum parts, piano, bass and guitar have changed and its an entirely new mix with some different sounds as far as guitar tone, bass tone, drums kit etc...hope you still like it...let me know what you think.

Entrancing Spirit

What a time to be alive....     Yeah but . . .

(Lyrics)
I seek refuge, while you speak of what you could never understand.
Sip your coffee in safety and dribble another political opinion.
Crossed the border, dodging shrapnel.  Lost a mother as her child clings to.  We crammed in the rubber, the swell took a few.  No food or water as the land appeared into view.
Escaped a ravished land to be captured.  Will this suffering ever end?
Another war for the unconscious, conquer and divide and devour.

But it's O.K.  I've got food in the fridge.
Yeah it's O.K.  At least it's not my kids.

Yeah But . . .

Lyrics

You've played this game a while now, your advantage is that you know.
The rules are not stacked in your favour.  How well can you drift in the flow?
The waste you have made sits atop of my oceans, beneath my soil and in my air.  So cut the shit, we've got a symbiotic relationship.
Do you really want to throw what we have away?  This is your final warning. (and you pretend like you still can't hear me)
Playing with fire, a natural desire but don't get complacent or you will burn.
Acting like spoilt children.  No respect for the world you live in. Destroy it for the fucking money.  The bee's all died but we got their honey.  How the fuck are we still spilling our blood for a drip of the oil we were given?  And the parents all cry when their children die cause we left them no hope to carry on, with the way we carried on.
We ignored our warning.
We ignored our warning and chose to drown.

We Chose To Drown

Lyrics

Can you feel it?  Can't you feel it? The fracture inside.
Can you feel it break?
So far we've been loosing ourselves, so in-human.  Breathe in just a while and remember what you're choosing.
(Murder) in the name of shitty politics
(Hunger) fuckin shame there isn't nourishment in the lies we're force-fed into swallowing.  It's our choice what we do from here on.
Can you feel it? Can't you feel it? The fracture inside.
So far we're abusing ourselves with excuses.  We know what is right and still choose to look the other way.  Are we going to be the change? Are we going to make the change or be ruled? buy it!  Take something you don't need home to fill the fracture. Business is good just look the other way and forget what you've seen.  So far, we already lost our humanity.  So far we already chose to ignore the beast inside of all of us, and it's still feeding on the murder, the hunger, all of the lies.  The Fracture inside, can't you feel it? Can you feel it? The Fracture

the fracture

The Fracture

Been halfway across the world looking for that missing piece of me.
I took the carriage of hopefulness, thinking it would lead me to something more beautiful.
I crossed the river of my past, and saw a young man drowning in the whitewash.
He stopped me to ask, could I lend him a hand before he goes under?
Little did he know he was in the shallows, just couldn't bring himself to get up off his knees.
Boy what you doing there? Drowning yourself? You're making me begin to regret, the way you're acting like a train wreck.
I keep searching my mind hoping to find an answer to the pain. Seems like it's me causing it again, causing it again.
Boy what ya doing there? Have a little self-respect. You're gonna end up destroying your life with regret. Pick yourself up and let your attitude reflect something more than the way you're  acting cause you ain't no fucking train wreck!
No, you ain't no fucking train wreck!

Train Wreck

(Cover art by Stefan Keller from Pixabay)
This is fraud, banking fraud. He say's no, well, just look at it as a friendly hand helping you out, I'm mean yeah, friendly...the devil, with his forked tongue: and then he started to explain. You know there's a lot of creative ways where we can get money when we need to. And this guy headed up some folks that do the backup computers for the banking system, these are big super computers.
Basically when you have trillions of dollars daily going back n forth in currency exchange and transactions, there is an odd amount left over that's less than a penny, or less than a euro or less than a yen. That gets dropped into a black fund account, and it's a lot of money. It adds up on a daily, if you take 365 days in a year, you've got a lot of money from that. It becomes billions, tens of billions. So you have the black budget of unacknowledged projects, you have the corruption and fraud within the government system, the productisation, monetization of things that we're paying for to study that they then monetize, like, integrated circuits, cellphones, and fibre optics. Then you have the banking corruption and then you have the piece de resistance and the one that is most disturbing, and that's, drug trade.
A darkness so pervasive surely it can not be true
An oligarchy with perverse world views
Mechanistic mass deception as a game
Ensure the minds and tongues lay still lest they be slain.
Sleight of hand, macroeconomic wolves amongst the sheep
The gods of industry singing you back to sleep
Whilst you wean onto synthetic thumb
Awaken from the nightmare and realize that we are all one.
We're gonna need another war ( to kill you )
We're gonna need another war ( to kill them)
We're gonna need another war ( to kill you )
We're gonna need another war ( to kill them)
We're gonna need another war ( to kill you )
We're gonna need another war ( to kill them)
We're gonna need another war ( to kill you )
We're gonna need another war...
The war is on for your mind ( and we know how to win every time)
Creating structures of ridicule ( It's only safe to climb the ladder)
When science silents the brilliant for dogma ( follow of fail)
Maybe we missed a rule or two? ( Don't question)
Maybe in hubris we'll be the fool ( What doesn't add up)
Kiss another century of humanity's progression goodbye
Liquified fossil fuels and, unexplained physics rules. Breakthrough technologies for shackle free energy dependency but instead we still have poverty, war torn soils and a sick humanity clutching at straws just to see ends meet, scrounging to find something healthy to eat. Homelessness rising into the streets, while tax dodging corporates fuck every country. We're digging under the ground "just in case" the nuclear weapons we made blow up in our face. Extinction for species that should still be alive. Pollution in the sky and a sea on the rise. Suicide rates climbing to new heights. Have we lost all hope and just waiting to die?
Our heavy hearts they bleed sorrow 
( but we're still hopeful)
for the days where murder has turned to peace 
( and we can flourish)
 Our conscious love could be the answers 
( love will light our way) 
to the darkest questions underneath.
Ridicule, ridicule, fear will make a fool of you
Shame, shame, take the blame.
I refuse to believe it's "us and them"
We're all in this together, don't fall for the darkness, open your eyes to the darkness so pervasive surely it can not be true.
An oligarchy with perverse world views
Mechanistic mass deception as a game but we refuse to play and we will not be slain.
