The Ride - Music & Lyrics by Nik Estes

Intro
Headlights flash
This is the ride...

Comb underneath the dome
Clear the webs and release the OM

Born to return back home
Leaving trails wherever you may roam

Chorus
Bind the night
Time is the ride

Following the path to cash
Never fills the hole when you look back

Never pays the debts you have
But it always justifies the lash

The Ride

Building Se7en - Music & Lyrics by Nik Estes

Killing altruistic "-isms"
Dying daily on the news
Self-elected division
Forming gangs within the troops

Bridge I
Confirmation
Of our biased
Indoctrination
How many likes?

Chorus
Building se7en
Resentful children
Learning to blow shit up
Mourning, pushing things over
Waiting to fill their cups

Profiteering no compassion
Falsifying flags and gods
All our fascists back in fashion
1% remainder none

Bridge II
Constipation
Of our progress
Reformation
How many likes?

Gravity Field - Music and Lyrics by Nik Estes

I see you unaware
I feel you wave from there
I steal two big bear traps
I drag on as ankle straps

Bridge I
Outside, among the trees
A far cry from the Tasman Sea

Chorus I & III
I'd like to believe I'm moving forward
But your gravity field pulls me closer

I feel you hanging back
I see you, heart attack
I peel you off my skin
Only to return again

Bridge II
Far cry from the Tasman Sea
I'm outside peering through the trees for you

Chorus II
I'd like to believe I'm moving forward
But your gravity field pulls me closer
A thousand dreams keep beaming over
'Cuz your gravity field pulls me closer

Peephole - Music & Lyrics by Nik Estes

Looking through the peephole
Lathering the ego
Slipping on the wet floor
Hey STAR!

Color sounds the new wave
Grounding deep in new ways
Reminiscing fails to 
Phase her!

Chorus
Blasting through the hole
Bathing in the glow
Dancing on the strobe
Opening the door
To the MAIN FLOOR!

Peeling back the curtain
Shifting active versions
Building up the need to
Raise up!

Seed 2 Water - Music & Lyrics by Nik Estes

This is the tale of the half-formed man
Do what he do
Do what he can

He strolls incomplete
Extends his hand
Hoarding as fast as he can

Consequence fails to teach
Half-formed man's out of reach

Stumbling along
They fail to keep
Account for all of his deeds

Chorus
Quite the wallop 
Swole my eyes shut
Seed to water
Throw my arms up

Bridge 
Testing wills
By the drops of
Blood we spill  

Dealing the cards of your life
Stacking the deck on one side 

Their hands on your wings
So you can't fly
Pyramid's all-seeing eye

Rancid Mine - Music and Lyrics by Nik Estes

Where’ve you been?
Tried to reach you 
The state I'm in
Ultimatums

Chorus
Typically, we go again 
(1. Shaky) (2. Murky) (3.  Crazy) as it’s ever been 

1.  Crushing to my soul
Tremors ever present
2.  Betting on miracles
Waiting for contrition 
3.  Tilting overload
Having to start over

Though this is getting old
No escaping these binds
You’re mine 
Rancid Mine

Intervene
Sand it way down
Dug ravine
Field of battle

Bridge
Needy people
Trapped in their baggage
Pins and needles
Whenever we go around
Crashing egos
Chirping beetles
In a bath of scathing 

Acid, how painful it stings
Rancid, decaying within

Festering 
My love is...

Rancid Mine

Original song written and performed by DEMPSEY from the unreleased 2007 DEMPSEY EP produced by DEMPSEY and Pete Dirado. Featuring Mark Macintosh - vocals, Jason Berkman - Rhythm Guitar, Jason Gutierrez Rhythm/Lead Guitar, Gino Garofalo - Bass, Jon Biggs - Drums

Phantom Panes - Music & Lyrics by Nik Estes

I know you think about me
Like I think about you
And, when I try to believe
That it meant nothing

Uneasy feeling I get
Keep thinking this can't be true
My troubled brow starts to sweat
I'm having visions

Chorus I
What fucks with me the most
I'm haunted by your ghost
Haunted by your ghost

And, now I try to be still
I'm getting on with my life
But, when my guts start to spill
I slowly bleed out

I look around  at what's left
There's no resemblance to life
The hairs all stand on my neck
I'm staring deeper

Chorus II
What fucks with me the most
I'm haunted by your ghost
Peel it back, eyes close
I'm haunted by your ghost
Haunted by your ghost

Ghost

Just a dude from the Valley looking to connect. Nice to meet you! You smell GRRREAT!
