lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!

Rock and Roll Kills

The Illusion of control

This is a cool number that Chris and Eddy had been sitting on for about a year or so I believe.  They sent it to me and I really liked it.  I added some wacky percussion noises and the lead guitar throughout.  Then Chris put in some vocals.  was great working together with them.  It's called No Rush

eddyoffline - bass guitar
C.G. Maness - composition, acoustic guitar, vocals, lyrics
TexMex Shaman - lead guitar, wacky percussion and mix


Lyrics:
I don’t know where we went wrong.
Did we ever get off?
As the train moves along,
I’ll sing my railway song.
There’s no time to rush,
Should we get out and push?
No hungry mouths to hush.
I’m done hiding in the woods.
No rush, take your time.
There’s underdogs on the mainline.
No need to heed the signs.
We roll slow on this grind.
No rush, I’ll say it again.
You river rats that cooled my hand.
A blank stare and a grifter's grin.
“You’re just bluffing” said the drifter's friend.

No Rush - w/ eddyoffline and C.G. Maness

Down home diggin' in the dirt
A little hard work never hurt
Barefoot gettin' sunburn
Back where she was raised
Hot hay in a little creek
Copperheads in the summer heat
It's on the color of the Georgia peach
Back where she was raised
Her daddy would always say

Mama won't ya get that fiddle
Come on and burn it to the ground
Play like an old train whistle
The high and lonesome sound
She could play those mountain tunes
Passed down to her like heirlooms
Yawl know whose a little on the guitar and fiddle 
she could turn the green grass blue

Sally gettin' in the cripple creek 
Startin' fires with gasoline
The dog are ugly but that ain't mean
Appalachia way
Rawhide and rocker talk
Make fun of the way we talk
Sunburns ain't never lots
Appalachia way
Gonna make you wanna stay

Mama won't ya get that fiddle
Gonna burn it to the ground
Playin' like an old train whistle
That high and lonesome sound
She could play those mountain tunes
Passed down to her like heirlooms
Yawl know whose in middle of a guitar and fiddle
She could turn the green grass blue
hey!

Turn the green grass blue ya

Mama won't you get that fiddle
Come on and burn it to the ground
Playin' like an old train whistle
Ahh play that lonesome sound
She could play those mountain tunes
Passed down to her like heirlooms
Yawl know whose the middle of a guitar or fiddle
She could turn the green grass blue ya
Mama wants the middle with guitar or fiddle
She could turn the green grass blue
ya!

A big Thank You to https://soundcloud.com/mike-krath for providing this wonderful instrumental, mixing and mastering. I enjoyed a lot to write and sing along

One Thing

Oh, ohh
Well, well,
There are many things, that we can talk about
And there are lots of things
And there are lots of things that we don’t talk about
And there are some things
There are some things completely covered out
And there are not many things
And there are not many things that i would sing out loud
Not so many things

And when I close my eyes
It's nearly out of sight
And when I plug my ears
the words are barely to hear
And when i shut my mouth
There’ll be no coming out
Without a mouth
There’ll be no coming out,		(3)
No…

Well, there’s so many things, we can’t talk about
And there’s so many things we’ll never figure out
But there is one thing, i love to sing out loud
But there is one thing,

But there is one thing,
I’d love to sing out loud
I love to sing out loud…

One Thing (wt Mike Krath)

I can see the world around 
locked in silence not a sound
to say i love you would be cruel
you stand there staring at me 
like a fool
i love you hate you feel you come inside you 
squeeze you tell the world youve died youve
run youve fled to the unknown
i turn you to stone ..i turn you to stone

something breaks inside my head
feel the snap.
cuts me down ...
inside i ache for something new
all this time i bleed for you

i stone you bruise you 
make me want to use you 
burn you freeze you fuck you kill you
crying into the unkown
i turn you to stone

im not drowning 
im just drinking 
im sleepwalking
did you think youd be the one...to wake me
did you think youd be the one to wake me up?

Sleepwalking- purpleclairexHOBOCOP

From the Album: "Arrhythmia & Blues" 2024

Lyrics:
Do you need some more cash?
A big old stack
Right there in your pants
Look at you, getting more than the next guy
A bigger slice of the pie
Do you like it like that?
Need more cash?
Look at your bad self out on that dance floor
Gucci sunglasses
A Louis Vuitton money belt
Fill your life with beautiful things
It gives you everything you need
But still you say:

I need something more
(Happiness is where you are)
I have nothing left
(Let the sunshine in your heart)
I feel emptiness
(Feel the magic of the earth)
What more can I get?
(Do you fill up with things where you hurt?)
Let me rhapsodize
I am happy with my slice
5% of paradise

You're getting a bigger bite at the apple
MMMM, it's coming soon
All these things, that gives you more
Va-va-voom
(Va-va-voom!)
Costco size it!
You've got more possessions
Then a Pharaoh
In an Egyptian tomb

But still you say:
I need something more
(Happiness is where you are)
I have nothing left
(Let the sunshine in your heart)
I feel emptiness
(Feel the magic of the earth)
What more can I get?
(Do you fill up with things where you hurt?)
Let me rhapsodize
I am happy with my slice
5% of paradise

Need some more cash?
A big stack in your pants?

Evergreen

Ye sons of the dawn
all clad in proper clothes
Ye are the brightest and the best of us,
or so we're told

Morning trumpets blow
for the chosen in the know,
and graven images carved in stone

English evergreen
dominates the canopy
Please don't swallow me
Evergreen

Creeping over men and walls
Binding, choking all,
when night falls

Burying the past
and the future you forecast
Brotherhood of Death,
and of Skull and Bone
clinging steadfast

English evergreen
dominates the canopy
Please don't swallow me
Evergreen

Evergreen by Garddwr Porffor & Nadia Selvaggi

Angel let me free

A simple, catchy song, musically inconsequential, but with some self-pitying and self-indulgent intent. It seems unbelievable, but I had "Bright Eyes", Art Garfunkel's 1977 hit, in mind. Obviously, I have to mention the song by my admired John Watts, for his legendary group Fischer-Z, "Lies", from his album Word Salad, because of its coincidental chorus. It's something that was also on my mind.

(I’m A) Movin’ On

I best be a'movin’ on
I got to go
I’ve outstayed my welcome honey
Your mother knows I got wild oats to sow
I’ll take my queue
I’ll burden no more
I’ll take their hints
It’s time to roll
So long
I’m a'movin’ on
I’m a'movin’ on

There ain’t no point in complaining
About the evil eyes set on me
Holes are burning
As they envision me in effigy
I wish I could stay babe
But nothing ‘bout this that’s okay
I should be a'headin’ out
Gettin’ on my way
I got’s t'be movin’ on
I got’s t'be movin’ on

Who hosts an evening
Disguised inquiry
Posing questions curiously
Waiting baited for missteps by me
Wanting nothing
‘Cept to spill duplicity
They want to believe
But refuse to see
I can’t be a’stayin’
I must be a'movin’ on
I must be a'movin’ on

I got out
Got pulled back in
The moment I protest
They welcome me as kin
I let my guard down
They lick their lips
I love you sweetheart
But this boys back got
Ain’t no more to give to the whip
It’s time to trip
I must be a'movin’ on

I’m movin’ on
I’m movin’ on
I’m movin’ on
I’m movin’ on
