Brand new day, a brand new day to go and play outside again with all my friends.
On the playground we're not talking politics.
In my room, in my room I get to do whatever I want to.
But don't be lude.That was before access to porn on YouTube.
My room has no windows, the way my parents like it and so do I.
It's all I've ever known, separates me from the war on the other side.
No job.No taxes.No sex.Just fun all the time with no ulterior motives.
Kurt, you grew the kids up way too fast.F-words in Nintendo, guns at recess.
I used to be so happy back when Christmas Eve felt like a whole week.
I wish that we could live forever in those fondest memories.
But I don't mind.I don't mind, no I'll be fine.It's just a matter of time.
It's part of life that you get sad some times and don't even know why.
Abortion and gays.Oh no, so that's what those are for.
My whole world is changed.I don't like it, no, don't wanna know no more!
I don't mind!


F-words (I Don't Mind)

My raw, grunged-out, punked-up version of the Beatles song from "The White Album."

Helter Skelter

This is our attempt at recreating Justice's Planisphere live and with the distortion maxed out. This has got to be one of the greatest riffs ever made, and it was begging to be played out of Justice's Marshalls through an actual guitar this time. Of course it doesn't do Justice justice (no pun intended), but it was a cool experiment nonetheless. For the real deal check out Justice's original Planisphere Pt. 1 (the other parts aren't worth listening to).

Planisphere Part 1 by Justice (Terremoto Remix)

(A reworking of Chesterton's Restaurant Woman by Dan Dollar, with lyrics and additions by Russ T. Shipp)

Why, why should I even try?
When you and I were born to die
If there really is a Hell, then most of them remain there still.
I was never good with words, but you knew that and you heard.

Shrieks call from inside the drawer.
Just a peak, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors.
You alone are more than I've ever known,
But now it's time to find out for my own.

Still all the world it confounds me.
Birds are singing in the sun and buds always come back to blossom.
And what about the stories that they told me?
Could they have really happened, and then who is it that's behind them?

Something always answers when I call out again.
And someone always catches when I fall away.

Why can't I just go to sleep and wake up like it's all a dream.
But maybe if I take a peak then I can set my mind to ease,
And know for sure that it's not real, put to rest the fear I feel,
And I can forget about this whole thing.

Tonight it's just you and me, let's make an evening out of it.
Get past all the make believe, find out if you're counterfeit.
We've both got nothing to hide, but we've got everything to prove.
One day we're all gonna die, so what have you got to lose?

Chorus

Now I know what they all knew, and I can feel your spirit move.
I know someone came to save me from all, all my sins.  Yeah!

Hotel Bible

[Written while drifting in the Atlantic at Virginia Beach in 2004, and seeing a beetle sinking next to me.  Featuring Jimbo Hayes on drums.]

Drop me into the ocean and I will sink on down.
Let my faith test my devotion with water all around.

Sinking Scarabs in the ocean, slowly drift away.
Cries drown out in the commotion of the crashing waves.

As I sink into the sea, please take away my fear.
The sun seems so far from me, but you still are so near.

The ocean is deep, but your love is deeper.
For at the bottom of the ocean, your love and devotion still surround me.
The ocean is great, but your love is greater.
For if the ocean is great, then how much greater is its creator?
