Let's go to the brain parade 
I'll show you what I made 
we'll have cotton candy for your mom 

(I know she loves that) 

Let's go to the brain parade 
I'll show you what I made 
at the brain parade 

I made cotton candy 
for your mom 
at the brain parade 
at the brain parade 

Let's go to the Brain Parade...

Something in your eyes just isn't right 
you're the life, you're the light 
you're the reason I cause this commotion 
lost my devotion 
lost my devotion 
lost my devotion 
there are too many birds and there's not enough stones 
and the nonsense it snaps my heart and my bones 
kills my devotion, kills my devotion, kills my devotion 
and my doomsday clock is rewinding again 
for the midnight wasting of all all my sins 
it kills my emotion, kills my emotion, kill my emotion 
And I can see through all your bullshit 
your Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy 
and the weakness you pinpoint and label as me 
while I'm cause commotion, causing commotion, causing commotion 
I can see through all your bullshit
your Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy 
and the nonsense you pinpoint and label as me 
while I'm causing commotion, causing commotion, causing commotion 
You're causing corrosion, causing corrosion
causing corrosion in me 
And if you put it on paper I'm a violent criminal 
who's too violet to be around your kids and you all 
but the justice system's just about as fucked up as me 
look at Zimmerman, OJ, and Casey Anthony 
I was a pre-kindergarden teacher with eighteen kids in my class 
my life was filled with fun and games and making people laugh 
then a false accusation took my world of laughter and brought it to salem i've been fucked up ever after with the CPS recording my voice to analyze my honesty and make their choice to put me in prison for the rest of my live or determine I'm innocent and say "Sorry, nevermind"  but sorry doesn't cut it, I"m fucking traumatized, 
you took my world of laughter and left me horrified
you took my piece of mind and burned it at the stake 
you too my piece of mind and brought it to salem 
and I've lost my devotion, lost my devotion, lost my devotion
you're causing corrosion, causing corrosion, causing corrosion in me

Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy

I wake into to this day and ran away
From a tornado warning 
Windows breaking - people shaking
Waking up to devastation
Hope I make a great escape 
to somewhere safe - 
tornado warning
Storm a coming people running
Danger visiting this morning 
 if the roof falls 
Will I survive another day 
If falling brick walls 
collapse will we all be okay 
If safety gives up- will harm be coming someone's way 
And if the sky falls 
I never meant to be this way 
I woke  into to the day and ran away
From a tornado warning 
Windows breaking - people shaking
Waking up to devastation
Hope I make a great escape 
to somewhere safe - tornado coming
Windows breaking people shaking 
Apocalypse is surely coming 
And if my time comes
I never meant to be this way
And if there's no chance 
To say the things I need to say 
I hope that someone 
somewhere out there 
Finds this in this devastation 
In the rumble - will this mumble
Echo or disintegrate
I hope that someone 
somewhere out there 
Finds this in this devastation 
In this damage, will this message 
Echo through this devastation 
Echo or disintegration 
Echo or disintegration 
 if the roof falls 
Will I survive another day 
If falling brick walls 
collapse will we all be okay 
And if my time comes
I hope I have the time to say 
I never meant to be this way
I never meant to be this way

She says you don't know anything

and I agree 
cause you've been lying through your

She's high on something else but life 
She's faster than the need of light 
She's so -cio 
She's selfish, sinful, so simplistic 
Sucking blood from someone else's tick 
Why are you so narcissistic?  
Why are you so narcissistic?

When Nature Eats Man

"i think i'm still alive"  
by: the vertebrates 

i saw myself at my funeral 
but everyone closed their eyes 
buried me down six feet deep 
but i think that I survived 
crawled out of that grave 
tried to make my way 
but never had one quite 

I feel dead 
i look dead 
so dead 
but i think i'm still alive 

so bury me in the seven seas 
i'll find a way to breathe 
i got truth and authenticity 
but unbelievers gonna disbelieve 
i think the problem is you can't believe 
without your narcissistic guide 
you feel dead, you look dead so dead 
but i think that you'll survive 
i think that you'll survive 

They found God in the LHC 
but unbelievers gonna disbelieve 
don't understand my disbelief 
I think that problem is I cannot see 
beyond my narcissistic eyes 
a blind man's gotta pay his bills 
you gotta trust someone sometimes 
 

i think i'm still alive

"Father Mckenzie" By: The Vertebrates 
I'm been covering someone else's song for too damn long 
I've been listening to Father Mckenzie's voice singing all my songs 
I've been stuck in the friendzone losing friends everyday 
I've been fumbling near the endzone 
I've crashed and burned than more Cobain 
I'm not just broken down 
I'm not just broken down 
I've been told to follow all my dreams down dead end roads 
I've  cold and been broke and I've been scolded 
my dreams are put to sleep 
my dreams won't even follow me 

I've been listening to the same damn song for too damn long 
watching my sister dance to the jailhouse rock 
and she don't know who elvis is 
she does the time warp again but never seen the rocky horror picture show 
it's not on the movie screen, it's on the ps3, it's been sold 
I've been told to follow all my dreams down dead end roads 
I've  cold and been broke and I've been scolded 
my dreams are put to sleep 
my dreams won't even follow me 


FATHER MCKENZIE

Use this shotgun for a cane 
shoot and the questions still remain 
when you gonna leave when you gonna ever come back 
wish your thoughts were made of braillie 
try to read your mind but I just fail 
need to feel your face to know what's underneath 
tell me it's the nature of the beast

before I ever even knew your name i knew that we'd both be the same 
I talk to you before I ever speak 
i may be blind but I still smile 
look into the mirror for a little while 
realize that I see what I believe

You say it's the nature of the beast 
I say it's the nurture of the bee sting 
it's the nurture of the beast 
the nature of the bee sting

The Nature of the Beast (IT TAKES A PILLAGE)

Stuck in a prism of this cliche 
need a vacation away from me 
my mind is a prison
there's not escape 
no Shawshank Redemption 
awaits 

yeah and I know
i need and out-of-body experience 
I know i need 
to get away 
yeah and I know 
I need and out-of-body experience 
I know I need to get away 
to get away, to get away 
to get away from me 

The human condition 
is too tame for me 
need a perscription 
to breathe 

I just can't get a grip 
onto the hand I've been dealt 
Need to break free and even
Escape myself 

yeah and I know
i need and out-of-body experience 
I know i need 
to get away 
yeah and I know 
I need and out-of-body experience 
I know I need to get away 
to get away, to get away 
to get away from me 

Got to get 
out of sight 
out of mind 
out of my own mind 
To get away from me

"In Neutero"

THIS SONG IS NOT FINISHED. 

lyrics 
Lyrics: Andromeda 

Although you're out there far away 
You're getting closer every day 
Andromeda, andromeda 
I wish I may, I wish you might
Travel at the speed of light 
We'll be together finally 
Our galaxies will both collide

Andromeda, andromeda 
The universe ain't big enough
For the two of us
Andromeda, andromeda 
The universe ain't big enough
For the two of us

 crash into the Milky Way 
make a brand new galaxy 

Drawn to you by gravity
Cause you and I were meant to be
A trillion new stars in the sky
4 billion years until you're mine
4 billion years away from you
But distance makes 
the heart grow strong 
drawn to you be gravity 
Cause you and I, we cant go wrong

 crash into the Milky Way 
make a brand new galaxy 

Andromeda (Sneak Peek)

"No One's Gonna Take My Baby Away" 

She's like Sarah Jessica Parker 
In the city so many clothes 
I swear its a fashion show
looks forever 21 but she's almost thirty, she could still pose on the cover of Seventeen 

And no one's gonna take my baby away from me no one's gonna take my baby away - they can try but if they do- they can try but if they do- they better be be ready for a knuckle Sandwich or two 

She's like arson she's on fire tonight - someone tell that girl to stop drop and roll- and with a body like that im gonna go to confession - thank The Lord - for bringing heaven right at my door 

And no one's gonna take my baby away from me no one's gonna take my baby away - they can try but if they do- they can try but if they do- they better be be ready for a knuckle Sandwich or two
