Silence … like freedom in a cage 
mind wanders a gypsy, but you don’t know what to say. 
so, you cry (cry)… 
words just stay inside.
silence … in a quiet state of rage 
a civil war of feelings in a battle that you wage.
(where) no one wins.
no matter how you try.

GOD KNOW …you’d love to leave this world.
FLY AWAY and never to return.
BUT YOU KNOW …you’re not ready to be free.
You’re silent in a freedom …you can’t leave. 
Silent, like freedom in a cage

Meet today
What of many yesterdays
A veil to hide
Stellar truth that lies inside
We return
To the obscure
Cosmic Surrender
Cosmic Surrender
We start
As flaming hearts
A veil to hide
Stellar truth that lies inside
We return
To the obscure
Cosmic Surrender
Cosmic Surrender
Meet today
What of many yesterdays
A veil to hide
Stellar truth that lies inside
We return 
To the obscure
Cosmic Surrender
Cosmic Surrender
Cosmic Surrender
We start
As flaming hearts
Cosmic Surrender
Cosmic Surrender
Cosmic Surrender

TAFFETA | Part 45

On the guitar, in the intro, Dan Blackard used his Gibson Les Paul. On the break solo, he used his "high action" Fender Squire for the slide.  This is a bit of an Orwellian song. 

Lyrics;

I'm only happy in this place
When I can see your face
You're like a holiday

The music playing on
But they play that same old song
Just in different ways

Crazy Town
Laughing out loud
Never thinking what you're speaking
Crazy town
Keeping you down
Never finding what you're seeking

Third ring in the Circus
Big top always wants work us
And they're screaming like berserkers
The flipside of the flipside of the flipside of the flipped

In the cages with the beasts
Man, they never give us peace
The clowns in on the fleece
Tripping on the tripping on the tripping on the tripped

Crazy Town
Laughing out loud
A finger points in your direction
Crazy town
Keeping you down
Open your mind for their inspection


The big wheel for the  run around
Like a rat we chase the bait
We know where this train is bound
Our sanity's the freight



I'm only happy in this place
When I see your face
It's like the flowers in the spring

They changed the lyrics of the song
Just like bees we buzz along
No one knows what to sing

Crazy Town
Laughing out loud
Never thinking what you're speaking
Crazy town
Keeping you down
Never finding what they're seeking


Crazy Town
For crying out loud
A neverending runaround
Crazy town
Keeping you down
Down down down down

Crazy Town

Feat. Bruno Torre on bass guitar

I ARRIVE

WITH MY SOFT AND ELEGANT WAY TO PROCEED

 AND I'VE LONG AND SHARP TEETH

I'M ELEGANT, THIN AND VERY KIND

I HAVE LONG AND TREMBLING FINGERS,

AGILE AND FRANTIC LIKE INSECTS' ANTENNAE.



YOU WERE SITTING ALONE, LOOKING AT YOUR SOUL,

FLAILING WITHOUT HOPE IN THE PUDDLE OF YOUR LIFE

SHE ARRIVED WITHOUT A SOUND

SHE SEEEMED NOT TO TOUCH THE GROUND

     AND  SITTING BY YOUR SIDE

SHE TALKED WHISPERING TO YOU



HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO UNDERSTAND  AND FACE

YOU'LL FIX IN YOUR HEAD, SHE SAID, YOU HAVE BEEN ALWAYS ALONE

FIX IT IN YOUR HEAD , SHE SAID, YOU ARE ALWAYS ALONE


THEN SHE SAT BESIDE YOU,

GENTLY FORCING YOUR DEFENCE

MAKING YOU CONFIDE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOURSELF

YOU FELT GLAD AND THANKFUL FOR THIS

SHE BEGAN TO MOVE ALL YOUR THINGS

AND SLEEPING IN YOUR BED

SHE KEPT ON REPEATING


HOW LONG WILL YOU TAKE TO REALIZE

THERE'S NOBODY BY YOUR SIDE 

'CAUSE YOU'RE ALWAYS ALONE




FINALLY ONE DAY YOU ASKED HER WHAT SHE REALLY WANTED

SHE SHOWED  LONG AND CUTTING TEETH, SHE REVEALED A MONSTRUOUS BITE,

THE SAME INSTANT YOU FELT YOUR CLAWS AND SOMETHING SHARP IN YOUR MOUTH


 ARE YOU STILL INSIDE THERE?

IS STILL YOU INSIDE YOURSELF?

HOW MUCH DID YOU CHANGE

HOW MUCH LINGERS OF YOU FROM THAT TIME?

WHAT LIFE TORE AWAY FROM YOU,                                             

HOW IT CHANGED YOU IN YOUR SHADOW,

ARE YOU STILL ALIVE INSIDE ,

WHAT'S REMAINING OF YOUR SOUL?

YOUR SOUL,YOUR SOUL, YOUR SOUL                                 REPEAT


HEY YOU, IS STILL ME, DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHO I REALLY AM, THEN?

ME  WITH MY TREMBLING FINGERS?

I'M NOT REAL, I'M NOT TOUCHABLE, YOU CAN'T SEE ME, YOU ONLY CAN MAYBE

IN SOME FLEEING FLASH OF YOUR LIFE GRASP SOMETHING OF ME IN A GLIMPSE OF 

AWARENESS.

MY FRIEND, I'M NOTHING ELSE THAN A VOICE, THE VOICE, THE ONE YOU'VE 

ALWAYS KNOWN,

 YOUR VOICE,  YOUR DESTINY, THE TRUTH, THE ONE 

YOU ARE AFRAID OF ,YOUR SOLITUDE, YOUR 

USELESSNESS, YOUR EMPTYNESS, YOU ARE MEANINGLESS, ONLY A PRODUCT

OF CLASHING CELLS

I'M YOUR  DEATH,  YOUR DUST, YOUR END....I'M YOU,  AND YOU ARE ME, JUST YOU AND ME, JUST YOU AND ME, JUST YOU AND ME...........

MY FRIEND, MY FRIEND,MY FRIEND.........
