"Deserving?"

"Deserving?"

I don't deserve you, why can't you see
I will desert you, why don't you leave
But you put your faith in me one last time
You, you put your faith in love all the time
I don't deserve you, why can't you see
I will desert you, why don't you leave
But you put your faith in me one last time
You, you put your faith in love all the time

I believe that you, you and me, you and me
We, we've achieved a love that we, we can see

I don't deserve you, why can't you see
I will desert you, why don't you leave
But you put your faith in me one last time
You, you put your faith in love all the time

I believe that you, you and me, you and me
We, we've achieved a love that we, we can see
For, I believe that you, you and me, you and me
We, we've achieved a love that we, we can see

So go find your path, take me with you
I will make sure no one hurts you
I need your ways, we deserve it
We'll depend on our love here we
Go find your path, take me with you

"Beat Us"

"Beat Us"


Yesterday when you opened your eyes
In the morning, and you rushed my soul
Memories connect them all to her
Have I lost you again, possibly amidst forever
The strong winds have shaken me inside

When you touch me, I feel it
When you touch me, I feel you

You've become my addiction
My mental preoccupied obsession
To hear your voice I extend toward the sun
Eating makes me think of you
This city has become your face
Strangling myself in my silence

When you touch me, I feel it
When you touch me, (I feel you)
When you touch me, I feel it
When you touch me, (I feel you)

I feel it... I feel it... I feel it...

Have I lost you again, with the possibility of forever
The strong winds have shaken me inside
The sun barely giving of herself
I'm strangled in my aloneness, lockness
Lock this before it's gone
Winds have shaken me inside
The sun barely giving of herself
I'm strangled in my aloneness, lockness
Lock this before it's gone

The collaboration and association
Hear the story of another woman in time
Giving permission for buying a gift
For the bearer of the selfish
(when you touch me)

Yesterday when you opened your eyes
In the morning, and you rushed my soul
Memories connect them all to her
Eating makes me think of you
This city has become your face
Strangling myself in my silence

When you touch me, I feel it
When you touch me, (I feel you)
When you touch me, I feel it
When you touch me, (I feel you)

I feel it... when you touch me...

"Reconstructive Demonstrations"

"Reconstructive Demonstrations"

They say women cry when walls retire
They say that men die when laws retire when laws retire

Unconventional deconstructive conversations
(Teach us how to eat)
I will never let you go
Conversational reconstructive demonstrations
(Teach us how to speak)
Why, confess the final blow

Teach us how to eat from your broken hands
'Cause nothing seems to grow
Teach us how to speak the language of your only dreams

No one seems to understand that
We are falling to our knees

I forgot to pray; you forgot to say please
(Kill me), I never let you go
I forgot to go; you forgot to know me
(Teach us how to speak), why confess the final blow

Teach us how to eat from your broken hands
'Cause nothing seems to grow
Teach us how to speak the language of your only dreams

No one seems to understand that
We are falling to our knees
Blindness serves not god nor man
So we are falling into disease
We're falling into disease
I'm falling I'm falling… We're falling…
Into… into disease… disease, disease…
We've fallen

No one seems to understand that
We are falling to our knees
Blindness serves not god nor man
So we are falling into disease
Disease

"Electron"

"Electron"



We follow the ever falling grains
Electrons protons fight again
And so we run
We follow the ever rising sun
With feelings of all becoming one
Then we fly
We fly in our dreams
Ever so more
Swimming the seas covered with gold below
Proceed
Proceed with the blessing of all the Gods
I miss the time of ?? I see
Believe

Tell me what it is that we believe in
Star shines bright
Tell me what it is that we believe in
Star shines bright
Star shines bright

Great finds of thoughts lie in the skies
Overwhelmingly of the mind
So we sing
We sing to the spirit world so close
Providing our vital life for each minute
And we breathe
We breathe with the breath of I Ching
With the spirit that moves through all things
Now we see
Seeing of all that is alive
Will be a way to survive life
Release

Tell me what it is that we believe in
Star shines bright
Tell me what it is that we believe in
Star shines bright
Tell me what it is that we believe in
Star shines bright
Star shines bright

"Gate 21"

"Gate 21"


The love that you bring
You bring me alone
The pain that you give
Gives me a home

Do you want to stay by my side
Do you want me to turn and hide
We are disappearing inside
Seeing pictures of our goodbyes

But we, we believe
That our love will survive
The pain that you bring
It brings me all alone

Do you love me
Do you hate me
Do you wanna believe me
Do you think that you don't need me
Do you wanna deceive me
I can't think that it's all over
Don't wanna forget
I can't take the disappointment
That I wanna repress you're

Goodbye, goodbye
The design we broke the mold
The dreams when you see
That goodbyes aren't for long

Please follow me
To the borders of destiny
I don't wanna break from your side
The falling ground screams goodbye

Please follow me
To the borders of destiny
I don't wanna break from your side
The falling ground screams goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye
The design we broke the mold
The dreams when you see
That goodbyes aren't for long

"Peace Be Revenged"

"Peace Be Revenged"


Where are we to go?
How can we survive?
When the falling rain seems to cease we will all have to go.

Where are we to go?
How can we survive?
When the falling rain seems to cease we will all go.
We have built our lives without nature in mind.
So that we've become the disease but we wont go.
Those that survive can end with our life
Peace will be returned
We need to praise you
Peace will first be revenged

Once we used to hear but like footsteps appear
now we have no fear and in turn will disappear
We have built our lives without nature in mind
So that we've become the disease but we wont go
Those that survive can end with our life
Peace will be returned
We need to praise you
Peace will first be revenged

Reveneged...revenged...
when the rain washes all the mitochondria
Try to steer your intentions into love

When your fears mix with brain wash erosions dear
I wont be here then, you wont be here when
when the rain washes all the mitochondria
Try to steer your intentions into love
When your fears mix with brain wash erosions dear

Just watch the rain
Just watch the rain
rain watch the rain
Just watch the rain
Just watch the rain
rain watch the rain

Where do we go?
How do we meet you?

"Left Of Center"

"Left Of Center"


Are we a fantasy
Swimming in theocracy
We are far from holy
The wholeness of one
Repeat after me
We lost the key of sight
Now blind, we fear in flight
We are far from love
But silence is golden
Please observe

Fighting your empire
Defending your vampires
Far away, we're going too far
We're bombing your ignorance
Defeating your insolence
Far away, we're going too far
We're going too far

If today I die
And cannot deny
The life that I live for what
I say, not befit myself in time
No time to die or kill (live)
No structures of a pyramid
No train, horses to rise
Surmise my position
My words define

Fighting your empire
Defending your vampires
Far away, we're going too far
We're bombing your ignorance
Defeating your insolence
Far away, we're going too far
We're going too far

We go forward
We go backward
Living, dying
We're dying, we're living
We're living, we're dying
We're crying, we're seeing
We're living, we're breathing
Dying, seeing

Fighting your empire
Defending your vampires
Far away, we're going too far
We're bombing your ignorance
Defeating your insolence
Far away, we're going too far
We're going too far

"Wings Of Summer"

"Wings Of Summer"


Well, I, I, wanna fly fly
On the wings, wings of summer
But you, you put your eyes
You put your eyes on mine

Go, perfect your fall
And no matter what
Smile for them all
For today, we see never
Tomorrow's menu reads forever

I, I wanna fly
On the wings, of summer
But you, put your eyes, on mine
I, I want to fly
On the wings of summer
But you, you put your eyes, on mine

Don't confess to the crime
Till you lavish in your concubine
When you think you got clever
They'll wheel you in and pull the lever

Now I, I want to fly
On the wings, of summer
But you, put your eyes, on mine
Now I, I'm going to fry
'Cause I ran over the guy with a Hummer
But you, put your eyes, eyes on the divine
Now I, I want to fly, fly on the wings of summer
But you, you put your eyes, you put your eyes on mine

When you think that it's all over
They'll clip your wings and make you roll over
To perfect your great fall
No matter what smile for them all
For today we see never
Tomorrow's menu reads forever
For today we see never
Tomorrow's menu reads

"Goddamn Trigger"

"Goddamn Trigger"



I have 38 rifles and a bunch of handguns and ammunition
8 grenades, in case of scuffles
How do I protect myself
how do I protect myself
Without all that
It's my constitutional
It's my constitutional right
To arm bears

I am the Goddamn trigger
God made guns, so go figure

We are, we are fatter, disgusting obese overweight fucks
A shot rang, animals scatter, bovine hormone growth chewy candy

I am the Goddamn trigger
God made guns, so go figure
