Listen up closely, I'll tell you a story
Of how I got to be the man you see before your very eyes
So many places I've roamed, not one place to call my own
Let me explain the reason why

I'm a gypsy king looking for a pile of gold that I lost a long time ago
I don't worry about a thing I'm the gypsy king
When I dream stars are born

I see constellations in my mind, I use the sun to tell time
There are many signs of where I need to be
Im a martyr, I'm a crook, it doesn't matter where I look
Because this pile of gold has got a hold of me

I'm a gypsy king looking for a pile of gold that I lost a long time ago
I don't worry about a thing, I'm the gypsy king
When I dream stars are born


Gypsy King

Let me take you step by step
I'd like to hold your hand so you understand
I wish there was a place where I was your man

To love unconditionally is a bittersweet recipe
As long as I know you're alive I can survive

No I can't tell a lie, I wanna be by your side 
If only it'll make your life worthwhile

To love unconditionally is a bittersweet recipe
As long as I know you're alive I can survive

I can survive,
I can survive, without being by your side
To love unconditionally
To love unconditionally
To love unconditionally
To love x8

To love unconditionally is a bittersweet recipe
As long as I know you're alive I can survive

I can't survive

Bittersweet Recipe

Go run from me i wont survive this fear eats me alive

Baby its just too soon we havent healed all of our wounds
But youre gorgeous
underneath the moon is where i met you
i was nervous you were perfect
but now
i often wonder why you try to make this work
the flame has already died

I dont know why you took me back
it only gave you a heart attack when you saw me with her
now the damage is done what have I become
you don’t need this and neither do i

I often wonder why you try to make this work
the flame has already died

whoa

I often wonder why you try to make this work
the flame has already died

whoa

She said I'll love you tomorrow
I'll love you tomorrow
But not today

So

Go Run from me, I won't survive, this fear eats me alive

Parasite

Hit the Road Jack (Cover)

Carry her soul to freedom
No telling where she’ll go from here
I can’t stop her hands from bleeding
Gripped tightly around my neck
Ms. Killing non-believer
It was a Texas massacre when we met
Carved my heart out with a chainsaw
Anything but this slow death

I can see right through you
Like cellophane you suffocate
You waste no time to drag me down

They tell you not to bite the hand that feeds you
There was poison in your fangs you filthy snake
Your poison remains after you left
I gave you the shovel, you dug my grave
Ms. Killing me anti-achiever 
Why won’t you just let me move on?
I only wished for your happiness
Are you trying to prove me wrong?

I can see right through you
Like cellophane you suffocate
You waste no time to drag me down
I can see right through you
Like cellophane you suffocate
You waste no time to drag me down

I’m sorry for what I said
How it cycled through your head
When we parted you were seeing red
I’m sorry for my distress
Cuz my words are what made a mess
I mean to love but I digress

I can see right through you
Like cellophane you suffocate
You waste no time to drag me down
I can see right through you
Like a ghost possessed underneath my skin
You waste no time to drag me down
I can see right through you
Like cellophane you suffocate
You waste no time to drag me down



Five Aces

Are you a sheep or a shepherd?
The wolf is hungry, the train is leaving soon
Will you come with me?
I’ll be happy
We don’t need any money to be honest sinners
I’m an honest sinner
Are you a sinner too?

I’m fading
I’m wasting
Away into temptation
I’m fading
I’m wasting away

Today is a new day
But it feels like yesterday
Are you watching me closely?
The heavy thoughts I’m receiving are making me wobble across the stage
And I feel no pain

I’m fading
I’m wasting
Away into temptation
I’m fading
I’m wasting away
I’m feeling wasted away from
Temptation’s got me on the brink of
I’m fading
I’m wasting away


I’m fading
I’m wasting away into temptation
I’m fading 
I’m wasting away

I’m fading
I’m wasting away into temptation
I’m fading 
I’m wasting away

Lock me away in chains so I will never get out again
For the past couple years I’ve been living the same way
I paid for my memories so I’ll take them to the grave
Stop the venom coursing through my veins from inflicting pain

Let me out of my mind
Let me out now
Let me out of my mind
Let me out of my cell

Let me out of my mind
Let me out now
Let me out of my mind
Let me out of myself



Meltdown

Open field when I opened my eyes
Flashing lights went through my head
Bullet shots going on in the front
In the back I’m thinking of what she said
Won’t you come back home
I don’t want to be alone baby
Have I been gone too long?
Wish this gun was her in my arms
Oh 

Na na na na na
Won’t you come back home? 
Na na na na na
You’ll be safe here in my arms
Na na na na na
Won’t you please come home?
Na na na na na
In my heart you’re not that far

I pull the trigger but I can’t hit a soul
Could be someone’s loved one back home
Maybe my aim is off so I start to reload
And now it seems there is nowhere else to go

Na na na na na
Won’t you come back home? 
Na na na na na
You’ll be safe here in my arms
Na na na na na
Won’t you please come home?
Na na na na na

Tell me the truth
I had my doubts
They lied to you
As you lied down
Don’t make promises you cannot keep
Is this love forever or just a moment’s peace?

I picked up an instrument and a microphone
To be a voice for soldiers who ain’t ever coming home
Fight to solidify the welfare what’s etched in stone
Love they neighbor, No religion that’s a sweeter psalm
I know some people who used to be near me now they’re dead and gone
Friends who wanted to share a long life lived in each and every song
Their early check out wasn’t right but they fought for our rights
 So I can never say what they did was wrong
Bravery and valor, sweat, tears, blood, and bone
The mission’s distance is a desert with many miles left to roam
Shots blast loaded with memories as an overtone
It’s not your call of duty it’s game over on an overdose
You used to be a hero trying to make a change now you’re on skid row and you’re asking for change
I don’t got a penny but here’s a thought
I dream about a world where every place is a welcome home

Tell me the truth
I had my doubts
They lied to you
As you lied down
Don’t make promises you cannot keep
Is this love forever or just a moment’s peace?

It’s been a long way from home
Will I find another place to roam?
Am I just another lost soldier?
Or will I find my way back home to you?


Lost Soldier

If being alive isn’t a reason to smile than what is?
Walk the Earth, 
We can walk many miles with nothing but the clothes on our backs
Stretch our arms across the sun, 
Across the sun
We don’t have to run, 
This pill will take care of you,
 It doesn’t matter what you’ve been through
Jump and you will fly higher across the sky

Do unto others as you would have them do to you
Just because you don’t commit evil doesn’t make you good too
Do unto others, 
We only have one life, so play nice
Follow the golden rule

We’re going 
Down, down, down
The rabbit hole again
Oh Alice why you always going?
Down, down, down
Its animals or men
Why do animals pretend?

To be,
Are you helping humanity?
Or destroying your sanity?
What is it you do all day?

Are you going?
Down, down, down
The rabbit hole again
Oh Alice why you always going
Down, down, down
Its animals or men
Why do animals pretend?

To be going
Down, down, down
The rabbit hole again
Oh Alice why you always going
Down, down, down
Its animals or men
Why do animals pretend?
To be going

Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down

We’re going 

Down, down, down
The rabbit hole again
Oh Alice why you always going
Down, down, down
Its animals or men
Why do animals pretend?
To be going 
Down, down, down
Down, down, down



White Rabbit

Fallen angels across the sky
Your tears are falling faster than they dry
Are you wondering who I am?
Maybe we can find a place to hide?
Somewhere far or close by the lake
Where we’ll dream all day
Where we’ll dream all day
Where we’ll dream all day

We are over our heads this time
And Yet
Nothing is as it seems
We’re alright

Are you waiting for the world to end?
Can’t you see we’re already dead?
Or did you forget?
Have you ever seen the storm?
It’ll be over before you know
Enjoy it while it lasts

We are over our heads this time
And Yet
Nothing is as it seems
We’re alright

I’m looking through broken mirrors
To catch a glimpse of what you missed
You can piece together my darling
A shattered glass of happiness
Have you ever seen the snow?
The seasons will be over before you know
It will be a dream, 
Nothing is as it seems
We’ll be alright

Dance puppet dance,
Move those idle feet
Dance all night
We don’t have to sleep
Can we sift through stormy weather?
Sink like stones or will we float like feathers 

We are over our heads this time
And Yet
Nothing is as it seems
We’re alright



Nothing As It Seems

I still remember my first mosh pit
Hopping the fence don’t pay to get in
Lights flash on stage let the show begin

Leave all your troubles and worries at home
Let go all your fear and lose all control
Heal your soul as the music takes hold

Are you a friend or a foe?
This blood on my shirt ain’t mine
Who broke my nose?
Well it’s alright

I think I lost my shoes
Too drunk to drive home
So I ran barefoot through the night

Apocalypse now
When you feel the ground quake
Shook with fear from the sounds of the earth’s surface that make the dead awake
Save your grace for another day, live it up tonight, ignite the fire
Animals fight one another so they can survive

Souls of the night creep around the city
Ghouls that fill you with fight watching over me
Shatter the illusion when you figure it out

I’m watching the world burn, slowly
Demons of the night watching delightfully

Coming down with my friends
The show’s over but the crowd wants more
I’m afraid this is the end

I’m watching the world burn, slowly
Demons of the night watching delightfully



Broken Fingers

I told you not to worry, not when I'm right here by your side
I told you not to worry, look me in the eyes you know I would never lie
Do you believe the words I say?
Think we'd get away?
Do not believe the words I say to you

All we have here is each other's arms to pick us up
I don’t know if I can lie without the words to say
Cuz now I need to get away
I need to get away from here
You need to get away from here

I told you not to worry, not when I'm right here by your side
I told you not to worry, look me in the eyes you know I would never lie
Do you believe the words I say?
Did we get away?
Do not believe the words I say to you

I told you not to worry, You don’t even have to run
I told you not to worry, look me in the eyes 
I'll take you away from here cuz I don’t speak what you hear in your mind
You can't even express what you need to say
Well now do not expect the words to say

I told you not to worry, not when I'm right here by your side
I told you not to worry, look me in the eyes you know I would never lie
Do you believe the words I say?
Did we get away?
Do not believe the words I say to you


Killing Time

Do You Trust Me

Must Be Nice… Lyrics…

Speak now or forever hold your peace
I’ll be waiting for your call until I fall asleep
When I wake up, won’t u fill my cup?
Cause mine’s half empty and yours is just enough


It must be nice to find a place in paradise
But I can't live there, the rent is way too high, but so am I
For burning green on things I don’t need to buy
I took a chance my house of cards were stacked
The wind shook, the earth trembled, we both fell down and laughed

The nights got me drifting away
My baby’s looking for me in the usual place
She’s down low and I’m way too high 
The morning never whispered a melody so sweet oh I wish I could




Speak now or forever hold your peace
I’ll be waiting for your call until I fall asleep
When I wake up, won’t you fill my cup?
Cause mine’s half empty and yours is just enough

I heard you creeping like a cat on piano keys
Composing melodies of my most delicate dreams
My mind’s ripped at the seams, 
The shadows follow me when I sing 
It speaks to me, so softly
Like clouds about to cry, raise our glasses to the sky 

The nights got me drifting away
My baby’s looking for me in the usual place
She’s down low and I’m way too high 
The morning never whispered a melody so sweet oh I wish I could

Speak now or forever hold your peace
Sleep now my lover
Speak now or forever hold your peace
Sleep now my lover



Must Be Nice

Irresistible...Lyrics…

I can't help it you’re completely irresistible 
How can anyone be this fucking beautiful?
All the stars in the sky are lighting up in your eyes
It brightens up the darkness in my life

My love for you is unquestionable 
With time we’ll see our story unfold
Sound the trumpets maybe the gods will know

But if you and I do become whole
Will we learn secrets we'd rather not know?
I love your smile you put on a good show

One day everything will be better
I'll have you in my arms every day
But for now things gotta be this way

We just gotta get our shit together 
I’ll be able to call you mine someday 
And you won't have to wait another day

Just one more night and day
One more night and day
Another night, and another day 

I can't help it you’re completely irresistible 
How can anyone be this fucking beautiful?
Can you help me, you make me insatiable
If it’s okay with you I’ll fuck you like an animal


Our love has become questionable
The stories have been told they’re getting old
Put down the trumpets and follow the devil home

Is this what it’s like to become whole?
Since there’s no going back once we're old
I’ll still love your smile when the curtains close

One day everything will be better
I'll have you in my arms every day
But for now things gotta be this way

We just gotta get our shit together 
I’ll be able to call you mine someday
And you won't have to wait another day

One more night and day
One more night and day
Just another night, then another, another night and day

Just another night and day
If that’s too long well sorry and so long
Maybe we’ll meet again someday

Well so long
Farewell my friend
The good times end
But our hearts will mend
Our hearts will mend
Our hearts will mend
I'll never do this shit again

Bio: It all began with jam sessions back in 2011 with Zebadiah "The Flower Thief" Salazar and "Sir Sunshines Alot" singing vocals. They started fornicating musically, which caught the ears of Gilbert "Gilbo" Martinez and joined on drums in 2012. Then in October later that year, whilst Gilbert was walking through Bass Center Forest, a lone bass set in stone called out to him. He then freed it from the rock and called the bass his excalibur. This action split the ground in half which spawned "Joseidon, Lord of the Jocean" who then took Gilbert's place on drums. "Sir Sunshines Alot" couldn't handle the pressure of not having any skills so he left the band. May 2013 approaches. Seconds later, the band heard a voice so pleasing to their ears it gave them eargasms and they welcomed Daejo "Daydreamz" Garratt on lead vocals. Following a 2 versus 2 handstand contest Joe and Zeb won the battle to name the band and thus, Wallace Hartley & the Icebergs were conceived by the gods unto this earth!
