Return To Zero (The Mystery Land Anthem 1998)

I wrote this song on the side of a mountain outside of Phoenix Arizona sitting next to a cactus twice my size. That tends to put things into perspective.

un petit aperçu de de la tracks list de mon Mp3, ce que j'aime écouter dés le réveil dans le métro...

Neophyte - Braincracking

I sit at the bottom of a blood moon sky
Staring at the stars both fixed and falling 
I wonder
Maybe even aloud
If this is all there is down here?

These thoughts are not new to me
I have thought them all my life
But I cannot seem to give them  a name  

But If I did
It would be high and unpronounceable
Spoken in a tongue known only by me

Written with letters full of music
Scrawled in all the margins
On every single page of my 
Book of Longing

Sometimes in a delicate script
Beautiful and deft of hand
Sometimes etched so deep
the pages bleed and beg for mercy
 mercy

Maybe the wind could answer by  
Threading knowing and 
blowing it through my bare 
and broken branches.

Maybe the Sun can answer 
in its final burst of color
as it sinks beneath the horizon 
Does he know ?
I don't know
but he took my questions  with him 
when he went down

The moon is giving me comfort  
that everything will be ok...
 with her long gentle silver fingers
on the oceans face

Maybe the stars are the only ones 
that know for sure
They will lead me to the truth
 If I allow them to

The North Star whispers to me 
he has spoken with the Creator
He insisted I must do the same

 I did as the North Star asked
and I waited
and I waited


The Lion sent word
through the Comforter

He said tell her
I have read every single page
in her Book of Longing

every single word
He read every single word

Blood Moon Sky

Inspired by The Screwtape Letters and 
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies
 Psalms 25

You say you've got demons deep in your head
is that so? 
They won't leave you alone
Let's invite them to lunch lets break some bread
Sit down at the table, let's examine the fables and lies they said


[Verse 2]
Pull up a chair let's hear them explain
why they wanted to cause you such pain 
No need to fear you are stronger than you think
Let them confess their dirty deeds through their teeth as they feast
One by one let your fears flee

[Pre-chorus]

Together we can stand as one
Facing demons till they're gone
every last one
every last one

[Chorus]
Face your demons one by one
pull the masks from their faces
look them in the eyes
Ask them why they fell from God's graces
The daylight exposes
this scurrilous bunch
Let's confront them at the demons' lunch

[Verse 3]
No more accusations in the dark
You've got questions, leave your mark
This won't be the first time they fall
Sort it out once and for all 

Pass the salt let's banish the pain
Seek the truth break every chain
Pour another goblet of honest 
Now you know what makes them tick
Understand they are powerless

[Pre-chorus]
Together we can stand as one
Facing demons till they're gone
every last one


[Chorus]
Face your demons one by one
pull the masks from their faces
look them in the eyes
Ask them why they fell from God's graces
The daylight exposes
this scurrilous bunch
Let's confront them at the demons' lunch


Hand them the tab
let the demons pay the bill
A hemlock feast for the wicked beasts
This will be their last meal

THE DEMONS LUNCH

(Til you hit that dust)


Til you hit that dust

Until you peel the rust

'Til you turn to dust

'Til the needle finds your trust

'Til you return to dust

'Til you peel the rust

'Til you finally breathe with us

 
Walkin' tru di valley, 
of di shadow of pain
Searchin' fi di answer, 
to di struggles an' di strain
But di truth is in di journey, not di destination gate
An' di freedom is in di spirit, not di chains we create

'Til yuh hit dat dust, Until yuh peel di rust
'Til yuh turn to dust, 'Til di needle find yuh trust
'Til yuh return to dust, 'Til yuh peel di rust
'Til yuh finally breathe wit' us


In di stillness of di night, we'll find di light
In di silence, we'll hear di voice, dat guide us tru di fight
An' when di dawn break tru, we'll rise up, anew
Wid di wisdom of di ages, an' di love dat shine right tru

So let's walk dis journey, 
                                    (together, hand in hand)
An' when di dust settle, 
                                   (we'll find our promised land)

Till You Hit That Dust

I’ve been used and bruised underneath the skin
I’ve been broken and spoken for by jealous men

Who didn’t have a clue
But they made me black and blue

I’ve been burned so I learned to live on the rocks
I’ve been kicked and tricked so I changed all the locks

And threw out the key
So nobody could get to me 

But then one day, you showed up in my life
In the darkest cave, you shined a bright light
And when everyone said she’s not worth the fight
Oh, not you

You made me feel brand new

I’ve been crossed out and tossed out like ashes in the wind
I’ve been cheated and treated like a means to an end

Like I was worthless
Like I had no purpose

I’ve been broke down, beat up, and drug through the street
I’ve been sanded, stranded, and stuck with no heat

For so long
I only wrote sad songs

But then one day, you just captured my heart
Took my tortured poem and framed it as art
And when everyone said she’s not even smart
Oh, not you

You made me feel brand new
You made me feel brand new

Like a penny that’s never been spent
Like a rule that’s never been bent
Like the first night we slept in the tent
Oh, it’s true

Like designer clothes that still have the tags
Like the start of the race and I’m the green flag
Like I’m riddled with riches when I’m really made of rags
Oh, it’s true

Oh, it’s true
I love you

Because one day, you showed up in my life
In the darkest cave, you shined a bright light
And when everyone said she’s not worth the fight
Oh, not you

Because one day, you captured my heart
You took my tortured poems and framed them as art
And when everyone said she’s not even smart
Oh, not you

You made me feel brand new
You made me feel brand new

I love you
‘Cause you made me feel brand new

brand new

Green eyes in view
Everything you do
Everywhere you go
You light up the room

[Chorus]
You light up the room everywhere you go
A sight to see
A beauty to behold
Yeahhh you light up the room everywhere you go

Heavenly smile
An angel on earth
Making me blind
Shining like a starburst

A sight to see
A beauty to behold
Yeahhh you light up the room everywhere you go

Sparks fly high
Our planets collide

Yeahhh you light up the room everywhere you go

Chocolat Encore

You walked away, no kiss goodbye, 
before you left for work
the screen door slammed much harder 
than it should
that's not good
From the kitchen window
I watched you hard kick 
the kid's ball at the tree
something's wrong and it's scaring me


Tell me what's wrong...baby
just talk to me

[Chorus]

Whatever it is, just say it 
whatever you need, just name it
If your hurting, I'll take the pain
Whatever this is will pass, but if it don't
 I'll smash the emergency glass
I need you to take a step back
tell me, whatever it is 
Just say it 
 
Don't walk away 
from everything we've known
we've built this life
with our bare hands
stone by stone
Life don't always come easy 
it's the price we chose to pay
anything worth  havin 
sometimes comes the hard way 

Tell me what's wrong... baby 
Just talk to me
 
[Chorus]
whatever it is, just say it 
whatever you need, just name it
If your hurting, I'll take the pain
Whatever this is will pass, but if it don't
I'll smash the emergency glass
I need you to take a step back
Tell me whatever it is, 
just say it 


[Bridge]
You've parked your heart 
in the tow away zone 
I know you too well 
your cover is blown
if you need time 
take the long way home 
but come home 
come home

Whatever it is, just say it 
Whatever you need, just name it
If your hurting, I'll take the pain
This storm will pass, but if it don't
I'll smash the EMERGENCY GLASS
I need you to take a step back 
Tell me whatever it is, 
Just say it

Babe...whatever it is...whatever it is 
Just say it 

Whatever It Is

This is becoming one of my favorite genres...

Friday night, she locks the office door
heads home up the 405
Staring at red tail lights, like a crimson tide
Playing footsie with the gas and brake
She thinks to herself.
How much more of this, can a girl take?

She's barely in the door
kicks her shoes off, 
picks the mail up off the floor
She already knows
what bills she can't afford
with a heavy sigh, she wants to cry

Ohhhhhh oooooooooooooooooo

She checks the message on her phone
"Hey girl, are you coming out tonight "?
She knows she should say no
She knows she should stay home 
and save some money, 
she doesn't have a lot
so, she texts back..."probably not"

Ohhhhhh oooooooooooooooooo
Ohhh

But she's feeling restless
Maybe even a little reckless
she's gonna go 
She thought it through 
Because this is what the cool girls do

While she does her make up
She has a couple of glasses of wine
takes her pen takes a hit
that should do it ...

She draws smokey eyes, lips stained in Tom Ford,  
blush from Sephora, heads towards the door
grabs her Birkin bag, the one she couldn't afford 
and slips on her Jimmy Choo's
because this is what the cool girls do

Driving East on Sunset
freedom doesn't feel so far away 
her front seat is her confessional 
She doesn't have to be professional
She can say what she thinks, if she's feeling off kilter
She doesn't have to use a filter
she looks in the mirror and says, 
I confess...'I know I'm a little high,
I'm just trying to get by '

10:45 she's on the dance floor
what she was worried about  
She's not worried about it anymore
She gets lost in the music 
She's flying high above the clouds
She doesn't want to come down 
In her view
This is what the cool girls do

Driving West on Sunset
freedom feels so far away 
her front seat is her confessional 
She doesn't have to be professional
She can just say what she thinks, if she's feeling off kilter
She doesn't have to use a filter
she looks in the mirror and says, 
I confess.....' I know, I'm a bit of a mess'

TWO AM...she heads back home up the 405
Staring at red tail lights, like a crimson tide
Playing footsie with the gas and brake
She thinks to herself.
how much more of this can I take?

Is this what the cool girls do? 

Are you a cool girl too ?

What The Cool Girls Do

Post Grunge Pop Song about how i’d go anywhere for her love

Iceland

lyrics 

**Verse:** 
Trapped in this basement
Rotting away
Life used to be amazement 
Now it reeks of decay
Take one step up, get pushed back down
I have no luck, no love can be found 

**Hook:**
I search and seek but can not see
A way out of this fucking misery
I cry and weep yet I can not reach
A way out of this fucking misery

**Chorus:** 
Misery
Misery
Why do you do this to me
Ohh Misery
Misery 
Why can’t you just leave me…
Alone (alone alone alone alone)

**Verse:**
It’s kind of ironic 
Not wanting to be alone
Yet wanting to be left alone 
This life makes me vomit 
Feels like prison, this so called home
The hunger to be free, you can see it in my bones

**Hook:**
I search and seek but can not see
A way out of this fucking misery
I cry and weep yet I can not reach
A way out of this fucking misery

**Chorus:** 
Misery
Misery
Why do you do this to me
Ohh Misery
Misery 
Why can’t you just leave me…
Alone (alone alone alone alone)

**Pre-Hook:**
I look up and I pray
For a higher power to save the day
Try to make my way and make my own moves
But everything I do ain’t breaking through!!!

**Hook:**
I search and seek but can not see
A way out of this fucking misery
I cry and weep yet I can not reach
A way out of this fucking misery

**Chorus:** 
Misery
Misery
Why do you do this to me
Ohh Misery
Misery 
Why can’t you just leave me…
Alone (alone alone alone alone)

Misery

The bailiff says...ALL RISE

The Judge sits down
He's dressed in black
A woman on the stand
She's got a wedding band 
on her left hand

He says to the courtroom, take a seat
Nods to the woman, says Ma'am,
 you may proceed

Her lawyer is on fire

He layed it all out bare
he argued all of the ways her husband didn't care
Juror number 4 is thinking about now
Even God knows, he doesn't have a prayer....

He says...
This woman you married
She stands before me now
she says you disappeared her dreams
She testified, you took a knife to her dreams 
that does sound a little extreme 
but now, she wants to make you bleed

He says, sir...
Your word is your bond, 
How do you plead
How do you respond?

The jury's starin' him down
sweat running down his back
He's trying to put a lid on an anxiety attack
it's hard to make up an excuse
when deep down he knows the truth 
he knows, he knows...

He simply says...In my defense,
 I have no defense 
I'm guilty, guilty as a man can be

Guilty
Guilty 
Guilty
Guilty as a man can be


The Judge says,  "Im taking in to account,
 all of her dreams that died at your hand,  as the law demands
Son,  you used a knife
I'm going to have to sentence you to life"


The judge bangs the gavel
And the courtroom is rattled
He says "Guilty as charged"
the courtroom goes dark

guilty
guilty
guilty as a man can be 
guilty
guilty
He's guilty as a man can be...

He opens his eyes
to his surprise
his wife is asleep by his side
He realizes It was all a bad dream 
but he knew what he'd seen

He whispers to his sleeping wife..
I just wanna live my life with you
Your dreams matter to me too 
I don't wanna break your heart
I don't wanna make you cry
I just wanna love you for the rest of your life

I don't want to be guilty
guilty
guilty
guilty as a man can be
guilty
guilty
He's guilty as a man can be....


guilty guilty guilty...
guilty
guilty
He's guilty as a man can be...

GUILTY

THERAPY by NOVA J

Tell me how you hurt…
Tell me of your pain…

Tell me how you hurt
Tell me of your pain
Tell me for an hour, and
Next time tell me again

(and again. and again. and again. and again.
and again. and again. and again. and again.)

and again. and again. and again. and again.
and again. and again. and again. and again.

Just talk. Just talk. Just talk to me.
Cry again. Lie again. Try again—please.

Do you wanna go to therapy?
Or just spiral endlessly?
Do you wanna go to therapy?
Or just keep on telling me?

Tell me how you hurt
Tell me why you cry
Tell me every detail,
Then replay and rewind.

(and rewind. and rewind. and rewind. and rewind. and rewind. and rewind. and rewind. and rewind.)

(and rewind. and rewind. and rewind. and rewind. and rewind. and rewind. and rewind. and rewind.)

Do you wanna do the therapy?
Or keep unraveling with me?
Do you wanna heal through therapy?
Sometimes I wonder—who is saving me?

Just talk. Just talk. Just talk to me
Cry again. Lie again. Try again. 

(and again. and again. and again. and again.
and again. and again. and again. and again.)

(and again. and again. and again. and again.
and again. and again. and again. and again.)

THERAPY

She says, you say you're going out 
but you don't say where...
He says, I do it every night, since when do you care?
Something's gone very wrong in this love affair...

He says, I don't have time for this 
We've been through this before
He wonders if she'll ask him to stay 
She doesn't say a word
He stares right through her
He walks out and slams the door

[Chorus]
It can't be love when you're talking at me 
Your words cut deep
and leave me undone 
It can't be love that's causing the heartache
and making our hearts break 
it's clear....

If we're not in love 
Can I ask, what are we even doing here?
 
He said, your eyes used to light up 
when I came through the door 
now when I come home, 
you don't say a word, you just stare
at the floor 
Your silence is screaming 
You don't love me anymore


She said, You said, 
You said,  I was all you'd ever
need- 
and made that promise to me 
when you got down on one knee
I hear whispers all around 
that when you go out on the town
It's plain to see
That you need more...


ohhh it can't be love
When you're talking at me 
Your words cut deep
and leave me undone 
It can't be love
that's causing the heartache
and making our hearts break 
It's clear 

If we're not in love 
damn it, what are we even doing here? 
What are we doing here ???
 
it can't be love
no no no no no , it can't be love
Where were all the signs we missed ?
that it's all come down to this ?
 
 Words unspoken
 Promises broken ...
This can't be love....
This can't be love

This can't be 
Can't be 
Can't be 
Can't be love
It can't be...

HE SAID/SHE SAID

Falling Into You 2.mp3

Love is in the air
[Verse]
The stars are winking in the sky tonight
The moon is laughing bathing us in light
Your smile’s a spark that sets my heart aflame
Every moment with you never feels the same

[Chorus]
Love is in the air I breathe you in so deep
You're the melody that plays while I sleep
Every heartbeat sings your name so true
Love is in the air and I love you

Love is in the air
