Big, round and spherical, makes me slightly delirical.
The moon shines down on me and I wonder if I am here at all.
Wonder if I should try to see what's inside but...
so high above and my brain's in an oven.
Need to feel the gravity of the moment,
trapped in a church it's like somekind of omen.
I'm in a pumpkin shell, I don't fell very well,
somethin's missing. Just what? I can't tell.
Well, I'm in a cage,
flesh n' blood my cage.
Freedom night and day,
still, I'm in a cage.
Rakin' my cup 'cross the bars of my jail,
entertain the idea of hoistin' my sail.
Like a lover who's rage has transcended,
sometimes ya' know when confinement has ended.
Hell, I'm in a cage,
some say it's O.K.
Fail to seize the day.
Can you see my cage?
Fly away, before it's too late,
don't hesitate, initiate,
put some blue-sky in your mind,
it's only then you will find that you must-
liberate.
What I want aint' what I got,
give it to me (thanx alot).
Just like a thorn in my side,
with my life I'm less than satisfied.
Feelin' so deprived,
you'd think I like it that way.
There's always somethin' to be desired,
there's always somethin' of which I'm deprived.
Impossible to be satisfied,
when the grass is always greener on other side.
I live on a silver island,
surrounded by a sea of gold,
but I can't swim or build a raft,
so I'll just curse it until I'm old.
Just a beggar in the street,
with plenty enough to eat,
but my head is filled with limousines
and swimming pool dreams,
so here I kneel before the rich man's feet.
Feelin' so deprived,
you'd think I like it that way.
Like a dog without a bone,
like a god who's never shown.
Like a hunger for virtues unseen,
reality within a dream.

Chorus
Here I sit feelin' sorry for me.
Don't you cry (I'm already cryin').
I can't stop thinkin' 'bout...
Oh, lately, I'd die for you,
I've got no reason, but I know it's true.
'Cause lately, I'd die for you,
I'm gonna' tell ya', I'm gonna' show you.
Can't explain these feelin's I'm feelin'.
Can't contain this fire inside of me.
I'm squirmin' in my head, a part of me is dead so I...
find it easy to sink into myself,
searchin' for somethin' that belongs to someone else.
I can't stop thinkin' 'bout...
How lately, I'd die for you,
I've got no reason, but I know it's true.
'Cause lately, I'd die for you,
I'm gonna' tell ya', I'm gonna' show you.
Wont you come and swing in my canopy?
I'll keep you safe 'cause I'm the one who's bleeding.
Don't try to help me. Don't try to save me.
Do you take this man?
Do you take this woman?
Do you understand the fact
these words should not be taken back?
In ignorace, incompetence,
wallow in your indifference of what's right.
Now you're entering a peculiar institution,
might be your problem instead of your solution.
Everybody's jumpin' to conclusions,
because this is a peculiar institution.
Do you want this lie,
until the day you die?
Look in the mirror, ask it why,
before you sign your name upon the line.
Be on your knees another day,
your son and moon will never run away.
(if they feel the same)
Chorus
Listen up, don't give up.
Noone can tell you what the fuck to do.
Everybody's jumpin' to conclusions,
because this is a peculiar institution.
Social wrecking-ball,
that's what it's called.
Social wrecking-ball,
that's right y'all!
No, it's not right, what's this shit today?!
It's what it is, not some ball and chain.
Some let the years fade it all away.
This is your life, not some fad, drive you mad!
Chorus
Take, take, you take from me,
what I give to you unconditionally.
I don't ask questions,
I let you be free,
because I know you were created that way.
Slash n' burn.
Go ahead man, take your turn.
Slash n' burn.
I just hope you understand -
wont be anything left for you in the end.
(Make up your own 2nd Verse!)
Slash n' burn.
Go ahead man, take your turn.
Slash n' burn.
I just hope you understand -
wont be anything left for you in the end.
Just pretend I'm your mother,
and there'll be no other.
Just pretend I'm your mother,
you motherfucker!
Kickin' and screamin', hangin' upside down.
Can't escape the feelin', the blade's a comin' round.
Clear-blue-sky a' beckons me
and I would sure like to run free
to smell the smells, feel the feelin's,
live and let live, to be escapin' from here.
Anywhere but here,
amazing what I'd do,
to escape this fear.
Wont you help me disappear?
Climb the highest mountain,
swim the deepest sea.
I would do 'bout anything,
if it would save me.
I know that they don't know,
no, they don't give a damn.
I am just a sacrifice,
regardless of who I am.
Anywhere but here,
amazing what I'd do,
to escape this fear.
Wont you help me disappear?
High on a pedestal,
The other day it occurred to me,
I hear the sound of an angry god knockin' at my door.
Was not I who crucified Jesus on His cross.
Make no sense of you,
These days, all ya' see,
The sky will be blue tomorrow,
looking down through the clouds.
Who could this be?
Is it you or is it me?
I smile...walk the miles.
Can you see me?
I'm so high I can't explain.
Can you feel me?
It's been so long,
can I be wrong?
Where do I belong?
Don't understand what you did.
Now I turn and run like the wind,
contradicting currents keep me still.
See me?
I'm so high I can't explain.
Can you feel me?
In my dreams I'm risin'...
soon I'll be on the ground.
Catch me, I'm fallin' down.
Fallin' without a sound.
Threw my stars at the moon,
broke somebodys windows.
Mine, I thought, maybe not,
all the same in the end.
Bridge
Scrape the sky with my head,
you for me, me for you.
I guess it was the smile,
'cause it makes me, breaks me too.
Bridge
Dyin' for Ages
there's no escape, fate's waitin' to set me free -
from this livin' shell and from all I know.
I wonder why it never dawned on me before,
I'd found a key to unlock another door -
to release a new relevation.
I'd like to think I'll never be six feet under,
it's just the prospect of bein' so alone.
I'd like to think I'll never hear the silence thunder,
in my ears, in my head, in my soul.
Life is short lets make it well,
everybody's got a tale to tell.
Down and down the life flame burns,
round and round the world still turns.
The sun and moon, the gentle rain,
will I miss the love and the pain?
I'd like to have an interview,
with someone who knows or someone who knew -
the answers to my burning questions.

Raindance
You know I'd like to keep on goin' honey,
but I can't take no more!
(Clouds of salvation comin' on strong)
Raindance, (raindance)
Paindance, (paindance)
Raindance, this is how you take the pain.
Rain on me.
I'm beginnin' to feel at home in the dead of the night.
I've begun to do the things that didn't seem right.
Reality has got a new definition.
Seems to me I don't need no premonitions...
(Clouds of salvation comin' on strong)
Raindance, (raindance).
Paindance, (paindance).
Raindance, this is how you take the pain.
Rain on me.
...and then I call god by name,
wish he would do the same.
Pissin' on my flame.
I'm dancin' in the rain.
solo
...and then I call god by name,...
Not I
Was not I who sent away this savior come to us.
"Not I," said the lamb. "Not I," said the sheep.
"Not I," said the world...as we start to weep.
Who will clean our minds, who will sweep our streets?
Who will protect our children - at the same time kiss our feet?
Who will lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil?
Who will save the world? By god! Not I!
"Not I," said the lamb. "Not I," said the sheep.
"Not I," said the world...as we start to weep.
Let me hear ya' say please when your world is on it's knees
and you've lost your blue sky (I'll bet you'll wonder why?).
Let me hear ya' say please when your world is on it's knees.
What'll be your reply...
Everybody wants to be somethin',
nobody wants to be nothin'.
Everybody wants somethin' for nothin',
nobody wants nothin' for somethin'.
If somebody would make somethin' out of nothin'
then nobody would take nothin' out of somethin',
but nobody wants to be that somebody.
Nobody wants to be that somebody!

Geekspeak
but I don't mind.
Your weak defense,
just blows my mind -
if I step outside and puke,
'cause you make me real sick.
Can't understand who's wrong or right, yeah.
It's assenine, yeah.
Watchin' you spin your wheels
around in circles.
There's no escaping
these truths that you're raping.
The verbal assault comes again and again.
Drowing in clutter
your mind's in the gutter,
spinning your wheels in your geekspeak.
Make no sense of you,
but I don't mind.
Your weak defense
just blows my mind.
Your lies provide your need to die,
so long, bye, bye,
no more cry, yeah!
It's assenine, yeah.
I love to watch you spin your wheels
all around in circles...

Narcissus
snobbish people roamin' free.
Runnin' countries, industries,
office buildings, in the steets.
"Love me, myself and I,"
noone else to reply to.
Noses lost in the sky.
(Don't really need to hear you cry)
Exhibition, see my intention,
walkin', talkin', see me socializin'.
See what I got, hey, you don't have it...
(your attitude is a' puttin' me down)
Plastic people, plastic worlds.
Plastic faces, places, knives and forks.
They're not recycleable like New Years' resolutions,
and when you burn them they just melt and cause pollution.
You can find 'em all around the world,
you don't have to look very far,
you don't have to try very hard,
these days Narcissus is in every boy and girl.
All around the world,
I said all around the world!
Exhibition, see my intention,
walkin', talkin', see me socializin'.
See what I've got, hey, you don't have it.
(your attitude is a' puttin' me down)
"I think I hear your momma' callin' you!"
solo
chorus
Don't want to see your face around,
like some social circus clown.
Excuse me, your majesty,
I'm gonna' burn your castle down!
Narcississtic personality.
Count the days, one, two, three,
come a day you will not be,
a Narcississtic personality.
The Sky
By Junior Bryant
and the sun will shine on through
It may rain, oh but it's still the same now.
We're still missing you.
As the sun rises in the morning,
and the off-shore starts to blow.
Oh my friend you're gone now,
but your memory we can't let go, no.
You walk with us each day,
the way you used to do.
Only your presence,
can make these dreams come true...
n' I say,
Chorus
...and the ocean is so treacherous,
but such a beauty sight.
No man can conquer it,
but we sure gave it a try.
Just like the waves we used to ride,
these feelings one can't hide.
We're living our lives on through,
knowing that we're missing you.

Vinegar
Once upon a time I had a friend,
guilty of the crime of letting reality win.
Shared the blade in the name of brotherhood,
now I see I just misunderstood.
'Cause if blood were like wine,
you and I'd share vinegar.
What I knew was right now I know is wrong,
welcome to the world in which we must move on.
I hate regret, let there be none,
so I sit down and write this song.
I gotta' a heart for love, a mouth for hate,
a mind for hope but it's probably too late.
What has become of you old friend?
Was there somethin' I could've said?
Have the winds of time blown you away?
or has the time come to repay
those things in life that once were free?
Don't even care if you remember me,
still, looking back you'll always be,
an ostracized part of me.
I gotta' a heart for love, a mouth for hate,
a mind for hope but it's probably too late.
