Turn another turn...

Turn another turn, sp00L...

I think therefore I am, familiar to most?
How long did we eat the seed planted by our host?
4 billion years between our ears
still hatred brings us many tears
Still we judge each other...
Why when we're only looking for the same high?

Grind time for old misconceptions.
Roll out new scenery as per suggestion.
Won't salute you. Won't desert you.
Won't be a prisoner of assumption anymore.

Does language define us? Is reality... words?
How far do we appear to be...
is the measure of... scope. But...
with our junkie soul, we face the need,
of nature's planned dependency.
Don't hold contempt for ecstasy
just... mourn the dead... on the (national) screen,
mourn the dead... on the screen, mourn the dead...
on the screen, mourn the dead... while they scream!!!

Grind time for old misconceptions.
Roll out new scenery as per suggestion.
Won't salute you. Won't desert you.

sp00L
Turn another turn!
Turn another turn!
sp00L
Turn another turn!

Don't need persuading by the status quo.

We can make changes.
If we open up we'll see... the history they sell us
holds the structure firm, reinforce the mold.
We need to strip it all away....
and let the sp00L turn, turn,
another turn,
another turn.
Watch it turn, watch it turn. What we'll learn.

Grind time for old misconceptions.
Roll out new scenery as per suggestion.
Won't salute you. Won't desert you.

sp00L
Turn another turn!
Turn another turn!
sp00L
Turn another turn!

Push away what they're selling me,
realize what we need to be.
Focus on a strategy to
open up our minds and then,
together... turn another turn.

Chasing Blue Sky

Chasing Blue Sky

Shakin' time, she needs
Taking rides...to somewhere
Let's lose our minds, no hurry
I'm the wakeful night,
with dreams...or something

Chasing blue sky,
We're chasing blue sky

Taking time from all this worry
Mesmerized by the waves of your smile
I wish that i could say something

But you're the rose colored glass i see through
I'll see you through

Chasing blue sky, we're chasing blue sky
Chasing blue sky, we're chasing blue sky

Chasing blue sky, we're chasing blue sky
Chasing blue sky, we're chasing blue sky

Falling Down

Falling Down

Today is just the same as any other day to me.
Walking wall to wall to pass the time, I picture what it's
like on the other side.
Because I'm here on the inside of blue, without you.

Day in day out on and on ... I'm missing you.

Nothing seems to work as well, my face in the mirror looks
like hell. I think I need to see a doctor.
I watch the slow hand move line by line. I can't even
think of the words that rhyme.

Day in day out on and on ... I'm missing you.

Some days it feels, just like falling down.
Some days it's easy, just like falling down.

Some days it's real, just like falling down.
Some days it's easy, just like falling down.

Day in day out on and on ... I'm missing you.

Sacred Ground

Sacred Ground

Iced over, close your eyes. Whisper the flame, it takes us
higher.
Seems our world is closing around. When I'm inside you,
you bring me to sacred ground.
When I'm inside you, you bring me to sacred ground.

Now you're the one that I want, you know it's true.
Let go of everything, open up to me.
I'm right beside you, I'll be your watchful eye.

I send waves of devotion over you. You take it all in and
give it back, give it back again.

You bring me to sacred ground, when I'm inside you.
You bring me to sacred ground.

Yes we'll love till there's nothing left to give...
matching every movement, swimming in an ocean of sweat, and
scent of you. It drives me to ...

You bring me to sacred ground, when I'm inside you.
You bring me to sacred ground.

I know I can change your mind. Give it to me the same way.
Giving it all up for love, I know that you feel the same
way.

I'd give it all up for you, I swear I would.

Now I'm falling, falling inside ...

You bring me to sacred ground, when I'm inside you.
You bring me to sacred ground.

I'm inside you.

You bring me to sacred ground, when I'm inside you.
You bring me to sacred ground.

One Life

One Life

One life, is like one prayer, one love to share.
One thought, one dream. One world, one meaning.

A man that's lost everything holds his faith in his heart.
Speaks to god of broken dreams, never wondering why when
nothing's heard ... one prayer.

A woman cries in frustration, her man holds it inside.
They forgot what got them here, the vows they promised to
stand by ... one love.

One life is like one prayer, one love to share.
One thought, one dream. One world, one meaning.

It don't cost much for you to get to heaven, you just got
to say your prayers.
If you want to stand with your saviors, you better learn
how to bow your head.
Now bend your knees and bruise the earth and pray.

Heed the cries of the war child. Mothers hold them to
their breasts.
Fathers fight an enemy and fear breeds unto itself ... one
world.

One life, is like one prayer, one love to share.
One thought, one dream. One world, one meaning. One
life ... One.

When The Rain Comes

When The Rain Comes

You've come to me again my friend. I've been waiting so
long.
Life seems strange and hard sometimes, maybe I won't make
it this time.

Oh They've taken all I have, but I just need what's left of
today, and you can wash it all away.
When it all comes down and I'm feeling tired and afraid,
you're always there, and seem come when
I've nothing left to give away.

Now I wait for your winds to come and give me breath for
another day, and your rain to wash me.

I feel the rain coming. I feel it in my heart, take away
my pain.
I feel the rain coming. Wash me down, wash me down.

Here comes the rain. Hold me now, just for awhile.

I feel like a candle flame in the wind. The dust of my
deeds past, covers me, like a fading lie.

I feel the rain coming. I feel it in my heart, wash away
my pain.
Wash me down, wash me down. I feel the rain coming.

Here comes the rain.

How Could I

How Could I

There you were like a ghost from my early days, staring
straight ahead at me.
How could I ever guess, from that moment on, just how
everything would change.

How could I know?

I recall something strange coming over me, somewhat at a
loss for words.
I'd been around and had my share of what I thought my soul
could bare, but never seen what I saw in your eyes.

How could I know?
We never took it slow.
We gave it all we had and more.

How could I know?
We never took it slow.
We gave it all we had and more.

Looking back at where we've been, the road ahead is so
uncertain.
We keep passing open windows forever.

I've tried before I'll try again, I never know where were
going.
I only know that I'll be yours forever ... yours
forever ... forever ... forever.

How could I know?
We never took it slow.
We gave it all we had.
We gave it all we had.

Beside You

Beside You

Take your children down to the water wash their heads and
sing .. holy holy

Last night I dreamed you were standing there, strong and
tall beside me.
All my life ... behind me.

You gently took me by my hand and led me to where
I couldn't see,but where I've always been ... an island.

In my dreams I've been an island ...

where I'm all alone, and I've built these walls stone by
stone.
I want to leave but I don't know where to go.

I've tried the best I can, but it's hard to be a man and
feel the way you feel.
I'm different on the inside. I've tried to give to you
what you need to get you through.

I'll always be ... beside you.

The day you were born I held you ... small and helpless
crying, your life and mine entwining.

As I looked into your eyes I saw myself in an overview,
reaching out to you from this island in the sea.
I don't want to be an island.

I've tried the best I can, but it's hard to be a man and
feel the way you feel.
I'm different on the inside.

I've tried to give to you what you need to get you through.
I'll always be ... beside you.

Liquid Sky

Liquid Sky

I ain't no Romeo. I'm just the man for you.
Holding out as secrets travel, they kind of get to you.

Everybody says that it could've been something.
Never was a smart kid, never knew a good thing.

Always hearing voices swim ... in your liquid sky.

Liquid Sky ... Always hearing voices, like no more choices
in disguise.

I ain't no sacred idol or a saint pretending.
I'll build you up. I'll tear you down. Turn you wrong side
in.

What am I afraid of? Everyone's listening.
Standing on my soapbox, lost the beginning.

Always hearing voices ... swim ... in your liquid sky.

Liquid Sky ... I'm always hearing voices, like no more
choices, like a lie.
It's just, it's just liquid sky.

I'm always hearing voices like electric shock waves in
disguise.

I don't know what this means. I'll leave it for your
interpretation. It's just me at the edge ...

Everybody says that it could have been something.
Never was a smart kid, never knew a good thing.

Always hearing voices ... swim in your liquid sky.

Liquid Sky ... I'm always hearing voices, like no more
choices, like a lie.

It's just, it's just liquid sky. I'm always hearing voices
like electric shock waves in disguise.

Always hearing voices swim ...

Breakdown

Breakdown

When the whirlwind of noise surrounds and get intense,
and when words can't hide their anger or intent.

I feel it in my bones and in my head, can't make sense of
what is said.

Ready for the take down, headed for a breakdown.

Fear has me backed against these walls that I follow and
pace.

Time moves in and out of phase of everything that I face.

I feel it in my bones they rattle and shake, can't find a
trace of what it takes to stop this take down.

Can't stop this breakdown!

Welcome to my scene. A place that's in-between where
squares fit the round.
Some affectionately call it ... my breakdown....

When I feel the pressure mounting and my hands begin to
clutch,
I reach my limit of pain and I've had enough.

It feels good to pound on tables and chairs and feel the
frenzy start to wear.

Breakdown this take down, gotta stop this breakdown.

Welcome to my scene. A place that's in-between where
squares fit the round.

It'll never be, never be more than this. Never.
