"Dancing on Silence"
music and lyrics by Stark Axiom

All instruments performed, recorded, mixed and produced by Stark Axiom

Lyrics:

Don't try to understand
(do you comprehend?)
It's just way too much
(out of touch)

Can you explain the logic of my brain
Silence is rhythm, sounds totally insane
I'm head banging on a winter breeze
Hoping around amongst the flowers and the trees
Digging for thoughts that just ain't there
Tell me how I'm feeling if you dare
Well you can bite the dust that my feet are making
Believe whatever you want, at least I won't be faking!

(like Tracy Chapman says, I'm gonna tell it like it is)

Dancing on silence

Relax, go with the flow
Let's tango in this void

Oh, golly fucking gee
Karen
Can you please stop starin'?!
Your condescending's blarin'
My insecurity's flarin'
I've been barin'
More than I've been sparin'
Grasping at straws trying to find a red herring
Struggling not to fall down on this frozen ground
Slippin' and sliddin', weighing crazy by the pound
Each theorem thoroughly unsound
Every step I take I'm feeling more hellbound
So break it down

(flip and reverse the track
for chatty Cathy in the back
did I fucking stutter?)

Dancing on Silence

Silence, what a wonderful dance

(all you motherfuckers
please tell the Hierophant
Imma tell it like it is
And you can all get bent.)

"November"
music and lyrics by Stark Axiom

All instruments performed, recorded, mixed and produced by Stark Axiom

Lyrics:

Hello Stranger
I know your face
We've seen each other 
In a familiar place
And ain't it strange us
Meeting here
With all the change over the year

And I know that it's awkward
And I've never been this straightforward
I guess there's just something about November
That makes me feel up for adventure

Hey there Stranger
I'm glad you're here
Cuz when you're near me
Something tells me there's nothing to fear
Cuz I've been meaning
To start anew
And getting the hell outta this town
Is the first thing to do

It's easier said than done
But our lives have only just begun
I guess there's just something about November
That makes me feel up for Adventure
What do you say?

This is me, this is me
With a smile one my face
("""}
In my favorite place
("""")
Feeling the way I should
This is me.... feeling good.

I guess that there's just something....
About November....
So what do you say?

"Survive"
music and lyrics by Stark Axiom

All instruments performed, recorded, mixed and produced by Stark Axiom

Lyrics:

Don't ever say that it can't be done
'Cause all we need now is collaboration
And a little imagination
'Cause even in the darkest night
There is always hope to find the light
To make things right

I know our situation's dire
But there's no better time to get inspired
We have inherited this Babylon
And only if the World is one
Will we survive

Don't ever say that all hope is gone
'Cause that is how they make you their pawn
In a war that can't be won (will we survive?)
And we have seen this all before
And if your memory serves you well
Then you will know
What the future holds in store

I know the odds aren't in our favor
But there's no turning back, it's now or never
We are on the edge of extinction
And only if the World is one
Will we survive

When push comes to shove
Will there be enough love
In order to override
Our nature to survive
(Ego non obnubilare anima
Manifesto magicae ex machina)

Only if the world is one,
So tell me: will we survive?

"Mission Failed"
music and lyrics by Stark Axiom

All instruments performed, recorded, mixed and produced by Stark Axiom

Lyrics:

Mission failed
I'm in your arms
I should have bailed
But I gave into your charms

You're that tall dark stranger
Mystics love to foretell
Being the mysterious lover
Is what you do so well

I've fallen through the cracks
Of my own philosophy
You've turned me into the man
I thought I'd never be

We were laying in the grass
Your naked body on mine
I lost myself in your eyes
As your smile numbed my mind

I've fallen through the cracks
Of my own philosophy
You've turned me into the man
I thought I'd never be

Mission Failed...

"Get Your Shit Together"
music and lyrics by Stark Axiom
featuring a sample from "Happiness" by Lisa Germano

All instruments performed, recorded, mixed and produced by Stark Axiom

Lyrics:

I know you're not feeling
A hundred percent
The moment you start feeling human again
Your energy's all been spent
Well I'll tell you as a lover
And I'll tell you as a friend
If you don't break out of
This funk right now
It's a cycle that will never end

So....
You gotta get your shit together
Gotta get your shit together
I know that you know you know better
So get your shit together!

(Lisa Germano: "Come on everybody... Sing!")

I know you got feelings
That you can't control
They take you up and down
Take you all around
And eat away at your soul
And believe me I know
We all deal with it in our own way
But I love you and you love me
So everything's gonna be okay

But come on, you gotta
Get your shit together
Gotta get your shit together
I know that you know you know better
So get your shit together!

You can't keep lying to yourself and everyone
Living your life like you're just another bandit on the run
One of these days, you're gonna have to wake up and face the music
Life and Love are right outside your door, 
but you gotta open up and choose it!

You gotta get your shit together
Gotta get your shit together
I know that you know you know better
So get your shit together!
You gotta get your shit together
Gotta get your shit together
I know that you know you know better
So get your shit together!

Get Your Shit Together

"Salt And Pepper"
music and lyrics by Stark Axiom

All instruments performed, recorded, mixed and produced by Stark Axiom

Lyrics:

We go together like salt and pepper
As a pair, I swear, we couldn't get better
And there's nothing you could say
That could make me walk away
'Cause I've never been as happy as I am today

Our love is lighter than a feather
It's the best way to stay above the weather
'Cause even when times are tough
I just still can't get enough
You're the only one that I'm thinking of

Doo doo doo doo doo....

We go together like salt and pepper
You're my Dungeon Master, I'm your Tall Dark Stranger
And if you feel the way I feel
Then no love could be more real
You and I, we got something that no-one can steal
(that no-one can steal)

Doo doo doo doo doo...
We go together like salt and pepper...

"Glisten (In The Sun)"
music and lyrics by Stark Axiom

All instruments performed, recorded, mixed and produced by Stark Axiom

Lyrics:

You and me
In my car
With the roof down
Our smiles ignite the town
As we glisten in the sun

We let the wind
Take the wheel
Take us where it will
We've got nowhere to go
Nowhere to be
Just go with the flow

I feel free and ecstatic
I feel like something fantastic
Has begun

And I've got no idea where this is going
(But I'll tell you something)
I've got nowhere else I'd rather be
(Than right here with you, baby)
I know it scares you,
Believe me - it scares me too!
So come on, let's be young, let's have fun
And glisten in the sun!
(And glisten in the sun!)

We sat by
The rolling water
Taking in the sunshine
We watched the turtles swim
Their shells glistening in the sun

With your hand
Intertwined in mine
I lost all track of time
And that suits me just fine

(Chorus)

You told me that you love my vulnerability
But you make it so easy:
You bring out the best in me!

Sorry if I fumble on this part
(so what if this is just infatuation?)
Cuz this is where I sing straight from the heart
( I wanna revel in this sweet elation!)

And I've got no idea where this is going
(But I'll tell you something)
I've got nowhere else I'd rather be
(Than right here with you, baby)
I know it scares you,
Believe me - it scares me too!
So come on, let's be young, let's have fun
And glisten in the sun!
(And glisten in the sun!)

“Carpe Diem”
music and lyrics by Stark Axiom

All instruments performed, recorded, mixed and produced by Stark Axiom 


Lyrics:

From my sea of memories 
You resurface sometimes 
Floating on my consciousness 
And occasional rhymes
Sometimes I like to submerge 
And drown in tears of the past
I find you there
And the feeling is too much to bear 
And I awake gasping for air

Now that I speak of you in past tense
Carpe Diem has never made more sense
I never doubted your reasons for leaving 
But your memory gives life more meaning 

Some people choose to leave
Some don’t get to choose 
Some people love to gamble 
It’s tragic when they lose
Well I don’t think of it as selfish 
Well who am I to judge?
If you can’t endure 
Then I don’t think that it’s immature 
As long as you are sure

Now that I speak of you in past tense
Carpe Diem has never made more sense
I never doubted your reasons for leaving 
But your memory gives life more meaning

“Dead Head Haiku”
music and lyrics by Stark Axiom


All instruments performed, recorded, mixed and produced by Stark Axiom


Lyrics:

(Junkies are sentimental…
 Junkies are very, very sentimental…)

I don’t fix problems 
I take a trip out of them
That’s where I’ve been

My little bunny
Take me to the underground 
I’ll listen to you

I am an artist 
And don’t accomplish anything 
Ain’t that the point?

Breastfeed my baby
The milk is tripping today
Childhood is stoned

Hold up the flower
Crazed on interpretation 
It’s just a flower

I don’t fix problems 
I take a trip out of them
That’s where I’ve been

(Junkies are sentimental…
 Junkies are very, very sentimental…)

"The Nomad Song"
music and lyrics by Stark Axiom

All instruments performed, recorded, mixed and produced by Stark Axiom

Lyrics:

I gotta keep moving, baby   x5
Keeps me grooving, baby

The changing terrain
It keeps me sane
The highway wind
Clears the dust from my brain
The atlas view
From the seat of my plane
Is showering my soul
Like sunny day rain

I gotta keep moving, baby   x5
Keeps me grooving, baby

Just trying to find
A natural state of mind
Free my body and soul
From the daily grind
Routine drives me mad
'Cause I'm a restless nomad
Sailing the seas of Life
Like the tales of Sinbad

I gotta keep moving, baby   x5
Keeps me grooving, baby

Everybody raise your glass
I wanna make a toast
From the vineyards of Alsace
To the California coast
I wanna talk about the thing
That I love the most
Traveling the world and meeting
All you wonderful folks
Let's drink to the friends
That we've made and hold dear
Let's drink to the people
That are standing right here
Let's drink to adventure
May the journey never end
It's always a pleasure,
Hope to see you again!

The changing terrain
It keeps me sane
The highway wind
Clears the dust from my brain
The atlas view
From the seat of my plane
Is showering my soul
Like sunny day rain

I gotta keep moving, baby   x5
Keeps me grooving, baby
(Like sunny day rain!)


Thanks for listening!

"Ground Zero"
music and lyrics by Stark Axiom

All instruments performed, recorded, mixed and produced by Stark Axiom

Lyrics:

Ground Zero
Is where my story begins 
I’m not the hero
I’m barely the protagonist 
Bust out the woodwork 
Like a bull in a China shop
Hit it like a knee jerk
Nothing could make me stop

So baby,
Think twice
Before you put your faith in me
Cuz if you’re leaving here with me
You ain’t leaving unscathed,
I guarantee 
Yeah, I bet you’re looking at me confused 
You probably skipped out on the news
Well I ain’t got nothing left to lose
So come on baby, let’s cruise

Ground Zero
Is where I’m raising the stakes
Don’t worry, baby
Take your foot of the brakes
Nobody warned ya
You’re riding with El Diablo
Flirting with danger
You’ll get played like a gigolo

So put your key in my ignition,
And drive this bitch right in the ground
Cuz everybody knows when I’m coming
Ain’t nobody safe and sound

So baby,
Think twice
Before you put your faith in me
Cuz if you’re leaving here with me
You ain’t leaving unscathed,
I guarantee
So don’t come hanging around my spot
If you ain’t ready to shoot your shot
Cuz I’m the kinda guy who gets it while its hot
Ready or not

Ground Zero
you like it when I’m rude
Ground Zero
Is my brand new attitude
Ground Zero
Get on my latitude
Ground Zero
Is a fucking mood
You know it!

Yeah, I’m that dude…

"Rage Quit"
music and lyrics by Stark Axiom

All instruments performed, recorded, mixed and produced by Stark Axiom

Samples: Beth Grant in "Sordid Lives (2000)" / Cher in "The Witches Of Eastwick (1987)"

Lyrics:

I’m a master of maintaining composure 
I’m a master of knowing when to shut it
But sometimes the only answer is disclosure
Sometimes biting your tongue just doesn’t cut it

When you get up on your high horse
Huh! You gotta mean it
When you get up on your soap box
Huh! You gotta mean it
When you get ready to get coarse
Huh! You gotta mean it
When you get ready to outfox
Em, You gotta hit em with a…

Rage quit,
Delete yo shit, I want none of it
Rage quit,
Fuck being cancelled, you’re expired bitch
Rage quit
I’m gonna 86 you - bit by bit
Rage quit
Kill switch.

Some people could talk shit for a living
Some people are just plain obnoxious 
Some peoples filter’s fucking broken
They’ll talk your ear till you get nauseous 

When you get up on your high horse
Huh! You gotta mean it
When you get up on your soap box
Huh! You gotta mean it
When you get ready to get coarse
Huh! You gotta mean it
When you get ready to outfox
Em, You gotta hit em with a…

Rage quit,
Delete yo shit, I want none of it
Rage quit,
Fuck being cancelled, you’re expired bitch
Rage quit
I’m gonna 86 you - bit by bit
Rage quit
Kill switch.

"Check The Floor"
music & lyrics by Stark Axiom

All instruments performed, recorded, mixed and produced by Stark Axiom

Lyrics:

Your hypocrisy’s loud
Like a bellowing thunder
Bust my eardrums
When you hit me with that blunder
Is it any wonder
This ended in sunder
Must be that family 
Curse that you’re under
I was a fool
To fall for your plunder
Fuck it, doesn't matter,
Gonna bounce back stronger
One day, in you slumber,
Meet ya at your bunker
Gonna show you
How much rage I can harbor

All I can say is well done
To break the unbreakable’s
A feat to be sung
Now here you stand, the Champion,
Reigning, triumphant, 
and what a prize to have a won
To have harmed the only one
Who would have given you
The Moon and Sun
Then faster than a gun,
Set aflame the Tower
From which our love once hung

So check the floor for what’s left of me
I’m the shards of anger
Your feet will find 
Eventually 

(Chorus)

All I can say is what the hell
When did our love become
A tragic show and tell
Now everyone’s begging me
To break the spell
To leave you where you fell
But all I wanna do is yell
To let this all go with one exhale,
With a gale,
And bid farewell 
To this dark place I know too damn well

So check the floor
For what’s left of you
Our history will be myth
By the time I’m through with you

(Chorus)

Veni Vidi Vindictive
Give him the 'sedagive'
Sorry not sorry for being curt
I’m feelin’ extra negative
Veni Vidi Vindictive
Look, Dad! No fucks to give
I will make this hurt
It’s a Virgo’s prerogative
