The Beginning
01:29
|

The beginning of everything...
Everything has a beginning, right?
The beginning...
There was something
Something brewing, festering...
But where did it come from?
What was there before the beginning?
That's the mother of all questions
While some may call it God, mother,
or some random sea of chemicals and extreme energies with insane temperatures...
Some just call it soup
Who knows?
It was there
She blew up
They say the universe is expanding exponentially
From what?
That's what I'm talking about
Whatever it was, it was pure chaos
Breathing out a myriad of galaxies and systems
Each one with their own collection of matter and gasses,
stars and planets...
Expanding...
Future and past horizons
Black holes...
True magnificence
And out of this mess, through eons and ages of untold length
Some 13 billion years, came this little spec we call Earth, mother, home
And after so many millions upon millions of mom's creations, there came man

We got a little taste and all it did was only make us dig deeper
And for her sweet blood we're all made to be slaves
We suck, yeah we suck and we suck and then we suck a little harder
One day she'll grow tired of always being raped
Watch, she gon' let us go
Watch, she gon' let us go
Aren't ya, ma?
Because unconditional love should go both ways
Do you know what she'll do if we misbehave?
We're doing well as long as there's a well and well I guess it's well enough
Come on, we all know you've got plenty to spare
We're taking all you got, and that's a lot, oh girl; you better believe it
And in the end we trust you'll be fair
Watch, she gon' let us go
Yeah she gonna let us go
Aren't ya, ma?
Because unconditional love should go both ways
All that she creates, we lay to waste
There was a time when we got along
You were beautiful and we were strong
But I digress, now we're a mess
Ma, can you tell me where we went wrong?
We got what we wanted
Visions undaunted
Can you remember those good oil days?
We thought you'd care
Now we despair
We've got ripples turning to waves
Because unconditional love should go both ways
Whenever she wants, she'll wipe us away
For all we know we're not alone
For all we know we're on our own

Burial in Blue
04:17
|
|||
Lost in the comforting waves of reflections
One last time, peace in the end
Fade now into the light
Peace in the end
Lost in the comforting reflections of the waves
One last time, peace in the end
Burial in blue
I'm down in cold
Burial in blue
Caught in the confining waves of direction
Pulls me through, through 'til the end
Gliding down from the light
Down into the dark
Descend from the light, through 'til the end
Burial in blue
Lost and down in cold
Burial in blue
Precious breath, a haunting memory
So long forgotten
Sinking thought that haunts me
Memories so long forgotten in the depths of the ages
Anchored to a fate to dwell at the bottom
A haunting memory, long forgotten...
Forever
Caught in the confining waves of direction
Pulls me through
Through 'til the end

Bag
04:23
|

I have a motive and I have resource
A locomotive staying on course
Destined for impact and aimed to attack
Here I come
'Cuz I'm here to take you down
No time to mess around
Now that you have been found
I'm gonna send you to town in a bag
I looked you up, there's no escape
'Cuz I'm running dumps and I'm popping grapes
Freak in a window, my eyes on you
'Cuz I'm here to take you down
No time to mess around
Now that you have been found
I'm gonna send you to town in a bag
It's time to say goodnight
Sleep tight
I'm gonna tuck you in
I'm gonna treat you right
I'm putting you on blast
I'll do away with your ass
I'm disposing of the trash
Then I'll make a mad dash
Make a mad dash for the border
This is your day
Yes, now it's over
This is your day
(make a mad dash)
I bet you look cute in your pink jammies
Sucking your thumb and crying out 'mammy!'
But your not so tough when you're not on your sticks
Pick'm up!
'Cuz I'm here to take you down
No time to mess around
Now that you have been found
I'm gonna send you to town'Cuz I'm here to take you down
No time to mess around
Now that you have been found
I'm gonna send you to town in a bag
Don't shit yourself, you'll be in a bag

Learn to find some peace, peace of mind
It's always been hard for me, but I try
I can't change who I am, but sometimes I wish I could
I'd trade with you
I'm moving on and staying strong 'cuz it's what you'd want
I'm trying hard not to let you down
I need to see and believe that you're not gone
But when you died you turned on a new light
I owe it to you to appreciate this time
And I remember you, gone too soon
We all miss you and we miss your light
I'd turn mine off if I could turn yours on
I'm moving on and staying strong 'cuz it's what you'd want
I'm trying hard not to let you down
I need to see and believe that you're not gone
But when you died you turned on a new light
In darkness and the thick fog, hold close your light; letting it burn bright
Illuminate the void around our hearts don't stray now you light the way
Learn to find peace of mind
It's always been hard for me
But I try
You can't just change your mind
But sometimes I wish I could, you stupid man
Maybe I'm starting to understand
But it's hard
I break down and I break down
I'm moving on and staying strong 'cuz it's what you'd want
Hold close, your light, letting it burn bright
I need to see and believe that you're not gone
Our hearts don't stray, now you light the way
When you die you turn on a new light

Safe?
04:09
|

Oh what a perfect day
Everything goes our way
Just the way we'd want it to be
This'll never go away
Smiles all around
Perfect little town
Errrbody frowns at a frown
Yeah, we turn'em upside down
Oooh, yeah right
C'mon... c'mon
You're really safe now
Who are ya foolin' now?
In the blink of an eye
Your little bubble will pop
Leave you wondering why
You thought it'd never stop
This ain't the world that we created
It created you
But there's a bubble that's strong enough
To keep it from busting through
Oooh, yeah right
C'mon... c'mon
We're really safe now
Who are we foolin' now?
But what do we really fear?
Now who's trying to get here?
Crazies... they just don't belong
Don't they know they are wrong?
And they just keep creeping in
And they just keep breaking in
And they just keep coming over
Will it ever stop?
Now this may be hard to hear
But they're already here
Right in your neighborhood
It just may be you
Ohhhhh right
C'mon... c'mon
We're really safe now
Who are we foolin' now?

Calamity
03:21
|

On the floor, room for one more
Funny thing, when it rains it pours
All your friends are mad at you
What have I done?
You flew off the deep end
No, not again
This is not the first time
That wasn't me, couldn't be me
You must face the consequence
Must find a way to reverse the embarrassment
Now I feel like I'm losing my mind
The effects growing stronger with time
Now I'm chasing a feeling I had
How could such a good thing turn out to be so bad?
I'm searching for answers...
I think they're down here somewhere
All your friends are mad at you
What have I done?
You flew off the deep end
No, not again
This is not the first time
'Cuz that wasn't me, couldn't be me
You must face the consequence
Must find a way to reverse the embarrassment
Ringing in my head
Half full of life, half dead
Collide with rock bottom
And I brought my shovel
All your friends are mad at you
What have I done?
You flew off the deep end
No, not again
This is not the first time
'Cuz that wasn't me, couldn't be me
You must face the consequence
Must find a way to reverse

Anticipate
03:30
|

Promises broken in endless night
As the big sleep makes its way
And in this life there ain't no guarantees
Yeah, these times will disappear in the breeze
Do you sense it on the horizon?
Can you feel that big guy comin'?
No clue what to focus your eyes on
Though we try to anticipate, we're prepared for nothin'
Challenge that imagination
Annihilate all of creation
Yeah, it's just spinning faster and faster
Do you sense it on the horizon?
Can you feel that big guy comin'?
No clue what to focus your eyes on
Though we try to anticipate, we're prepared for nothin'
Surrounded by creatures, oh no
And we crawl with the leaches, so slow
So low...
Do you sense it on the horizon?
Can you feel that big guy comin'?
No clue what to focus your eyes on
Though we try to anticipate, we're prepared for nothin'

Yeah!

Do you feel alright?
And at the drop of a dime we always light it up
'Cuz we're still burning, feeling no burden
We turn it on, we set it off
We do what we do and we light it up
And do you feel good?
Do you feel at all?
And at the drop of a dime we always light it up
'Cuz we're still burning, feeling no burden
We turn it on, we set it off
We do what we do and we light it up
And do you feel good?
Packin' em in
Raisin' 'em up
We're together again
Ah.... it's another session where you can let it all go
Just say "yeah!"
Alright...
And at the drop of a dime we always light it up
'Cuz we're still burning, feeling no burden
We turn it on, we set it off
We do what we do and we light it up
And do you feel good?

The Longest Silence
03:32
|
|||
I awake in the middle of a flooded room
With water rushing in
Every exit is blocked off by a crashing wave
This nightmare begins...
Is there nothing more I can say to you to make you understand
I know I'm wrong
Enough of this torture
I'm about to open my veins if the air in here doesn't freeze me to death in the process
The longest silence
The coldest darkness
This room I'm in is in the top floor of a building that touches the stratosphere
The structure topples over and crushes all in its path with a mile high splash
The longest silence
The coldest darkness
Submerged in pain and sorrow
Searching for the warmth
I'd give in to the depths of the sea for you, my dear
The longest silence
The coldest darkness
No heart can take this poison emotion
Please, I can't take anymore
So open the door
I feel like I'm in the rain
There's nothing to fear
So just let me hear your voice again

Dust (Remember)
04:00
|
|||
I'd ask you how you've been it's just too bad, already know
I heard it from a friend we trust just the other day
Word is, you fell back in
Why did you let yourself go?
I'll never know
Yes, I'm excited just to hear your voice yet again
Of course we go so far back, I could never forget
That's why it saddens me so much
What could I do for you when you put yourself away?
Just look the other way
How did it come to this?
Used to be when it had no place
You were just fine, do you still remember?
Running out of tries, is there no fix?
Still waiting for the day when the problems will fade
What about the ones who love you?
How is this fair to them?
Disappear and then back again
It's hard to care for someone who doesn't care themselves
So what the Hell do you really expect from them?
Used to be when it had no place
You were just fine, do you still remember?
Running out of tries, is there no fix?
Still waiting for the day when the problems will fade
But even a dead heart can flower sometimes
To create a fresh start and open the blinds
And are you happy now?
Don't know how you could ever be
Wherever you are, hope you're ok
Well we'll see
Used to be when it had no place
You were just fine, do you still remember?
Running out of tries, is there no fix?
Still waiting for the day when the problems will fade
I'll never understand your undying need
To self destruct before your dust
Can you muster up the will to change?
Dig down, you'll find you still remember

Effing Ay
05:09
|
|||
There was a time when I would have done anything to get your approval
But nothing was ever right
But I guess that's what you are
You're just an effing ay
You seem to find joy in bringing anybody right down to your level
And that's why...
You free me from caring
For all the times that you're gonna be needing me
Go ahead and dig in
'Cuz I feel it serves you right
But I don't even really care
You're just an effing ay
I'm totally emotionless to the fact that you're sinking in some shit
And sinking fast
You free me from caring completely
You free me
You free me from caring completely
You free me

Your Own
03:49
|
|||
You know your business and you'll take it all on your own
You won't be told otherwise
And as you make your own design you begin to realize that you're off
The beaten path
Following your own design
And your doom awaits you
You're not misguided
Yeah, you've got it all figured out
You'll be rewarded
You might be followed, but not by whom you choose
They'll want your business for themselves, no!
And as they know your own design they begin to realize that they're on
Your beaten path
Following your own design
And their doom awaits you
No yeah no yeah no yeah!!

The Bank of Time
04:55
|

It's 2:15 in the am
Wednesday night
This heat will be the death of me
And I burn on the inside
Lie awake in my room
Wish that I could erase a few things
Some decisions were ill advised
I'll probably never change
'Cuz the scariest part of all is: I like the way I am
And the scariest part of all is
Can't get over it
I'm led to the next
Can't get under it
To tear it out
It was the corner of my life
Mid July, 2005
What was I thinking?
'96 was yesterday
Damn it sure does go by
Constant withdrawals and no deposits
I thought I would never change
'Cuz the scariest part of all is: I like the way I am
And the scariest part of all is
I like the way I can't get over it
I'm led to the next
Can't get under it
To tear it out
I like the way I can't get over it
To tear it out
I like the way I can't get under it
To tear it out
I like the way I can't get over it
To tear it out
I like the way I can't get under it
To tear it out

He's getting tired of hearing things
You could say he's grown tired of seeing things
Basically he's so tired of everything
Now he's gonna stand up in defense of what he thinks
Adamant only to make a change
Yeah, just to be the change he wants to see
Sick of all the injustices is it possible Wonderfly could be me?
Oh my God, how does he do it?
Crime has a face, an ugly one, won't look away, he stares it down
An uppercut is all that it needs, this could be you if you believe
All that he thinks becomes what he knows
This madness inside him continues to grow
So he's out just to be the solution
What ever happened to chivalry?
Don't ya know, sometimes ya gotta let 'em hang
As nuts as everyone seems to be
Perhaps Damsel just don't know your name
Oh my God, why does he do it?
Not for the fame, not for the game, not for the love, not for the blame
He wants a chance to set it right, it starts tonight, if we believe
He's got a fire, it burns from within
And all this town's goons had best not hope to win
'Cuz he's coming at you something fierce
He's getting tired of hearing things
You could say he's grown tired of seeing things
Basically he's so tired of everything
Now he's gonna stand up in defense of what he thinks
Adamant only to make a change
Yeah, just to be the change he wants to see
Sick of all the injustices is it possible Wonderfly could be me?
Oh my God, how did he do it?
Crime has a face, an ugly one, won't look away, he stares it down
An uppercut is all that it needs, this could be you if you believe
All that he thinks becomes what he knows
This madness inside him continues to grow
And he just may be...
Yeah he just may be the solution
Could he be the real Wonderfly?
If it starts with him
Then it starts with you
So it's down to us
Now what can we do?

Don't shit yourself, ya brought it all upon ya..

Sucking your thumb and crying out 'mammy!'
But your not so tough when you're not on your sticks

No time
Now that you have been found
You're mine
'Cuz I'm here to take you down
