Their motivation to make the perfect thing
to fulfill the part that may be missing
doesn't come from a sense of humanity
there is evil and it's always selling something
SO DON'T BELIEVE THEM BECAUSE-
CHORUS-
They don't care what you think
they only care about what you spend your money on
it's gone in the blink of an eye - goodbye
WHEN YOU'RE PAYING FOR YOUR PEACE OF MIND.
Manipulation to motivate your spending
on all the things that aren't worth purchasing
if the things that you buy control how you feel
they got you hooked on things that are not real
SO DON'T BELIEVE THEM BECAUSE-
CHORUS-
BRIDGE-
You'll be better off if you find
that nobody can sell you peace of mind
With your tricky little ways you seduce me
but you know someday I'll seduce you too
can't keep me at bay, I know that you'll see
if you let me play - OH BABY, OH BABY - I'll seduce you!
CHORUS-
I'm coming to get you
and when I get you
I'm going to have you
and when I have you
you're going to want me
like I want you-
AND YOU WILL BE MINE!
Bridge-
Seduction is my favorite parlor game
you put my game to shame
your play is anything but tame
you and your tricky little ways
It started the day that we first met
I remember the way we were focused onto
the flirtatious game that your so good at
just felt so great - OH BABY - we had to continue!
Verse 1 –
I look in a reflection and see the features of someone
I identify them as me but not without some confusion
and what did I expect when I looked what did I think I’d see
every time the same suspect but always the first time meeting
CHORUS -
I would have never guessed
that it’d be me who would be
the hardest to get to know
I would have never guessed
it’s hard for me to confess
but now I see that you knew me
better than I knew myself
Verse 2 -
at the time I couldn’t have disagreed more with your opinion
how could you so badly misunderstand my communication
it seemed so far off I couldn’t believe who you thought me to be
later I slowly met myself and realized you saw me clearly
BRIDGE -
honesty is much harder than it seems like it should be
especially being truthful about what’s deep inside
exploring in the darkness of what I’ve been denying
realizing what I find so there is no reason to hide
Verse 3 -
I want to be honest with myself and light up what’s in the dark
even the poisonous have their place on the allegoric arc
part of me hides the qualities that it doesn’t like from myself
but acknowledging your own worst parts
can sometimes be a source of wealth -
They expect me to follow convention and fall into line
It's never going to happen 'cause I'm not the following kind
I resist the dogma and the pressure of the herd
wanting to be like everyone else seems totally absurd
CHORUS –
I am rebellion
I break the rules to keep life free
I'm going to make sure to do this if they tell me to do that
I’ll argue with them every time that they tell me it’s a fact
I am never going to do what they want me to do
It’s not that I can’t it’s just that I don’t want to
Chorus-
Who are you now- yesterday you didn’t know
So how can you be sure- if you’re right about it now
Verse-
You’re under the influence
Just thinking you chose
Your rebellion’s a pattern
Conforming is too
You’re under the influence
Like everyone else
In it all together
Trying to be yourself
Verse 2-
You’re under the influence
Think you’ve broken free
But you’re just a cog
In a larger machine
You’re under the influence
You can’t chose no
When yes is in power
You’re sure to follow
Verse 3-
You’re under the influence
Of things bigger than you
Even if you’re aware
There’s not much you can do
You’re under the influence
But so are these lines
Be rest assured
That the words end in rhymes
In a time when we are powerful
enough to influence the world
we know who is responsible
for the impacts that our actions make
CHORUS-
We are in control of what we emit
but the comforts it gives makes it hard to admit
as we watch the temperature fluctuate
it's hard to tell when it is too late
No one can change the world alone
we do it together acting as one
what kind of animal are we
consume almost everything we see
BRIDGE-
We know what happens to the frog in the pot
guess what happens when the bubble gets too hot
If we were at the end of our times
would you want to be able to rewind
and live it all over again
back to when the end began
NO ONE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD ALONE
WE DO IT TOGETHER ACTING AS ONE
The leaves fall at the end of summer
the hallowed season; aflame in orange and yellow color
the air is cool and the day is short
the night has become longer than the summer can endure
so the summer wanes
and grey clouds bring rains
when the summer wanes
Autumn has a way of making the decaying entertaining
that's why fall is the most hallowed season of all
The winter is brewing a stormy coup
the fall of an annual cycle promises to renew
the wind blows in gusts of change
marking the passing time in a life beyond age
I’ve suspected there’s something more
than just my life that’s worth living for
and I’ve found purpose at times before
but never have I been this sure
about the deeper reasons to live
and all that I want to be able to give
something of value growing in worth
a gift I can offer the collective birth
it all starts with a seed
fertile soil and some watering
break the surface to get to light
this is the sprouting of new life
we are occult –
those who love –
what we know –
we are part of –
do you ever feel that there’s something more
than just your life that’s worth living for?
Something other than the obvious
Ways that others are ambitious
I catch myself wanting a lot
of things that I know I shouldn’t want
things that would only reinforce what I’m not
instead I need to work with what I’ve got
sensational is fantasy
it is not real it’s just misleading
away from the point missing the mark
the sprout grows for the light out of the dark
Verse 1-
The drive to more is intoxicating
Seductive and inoculating
As successful as the need for gas
For speeding uphill, competing to pass
Chorus
The emptiness won’t fill with gasoline
Even if it could keep pouring
Verse 2-
The drive to more is stimulating
Motivation to raise your rating
Whatever it takes, nothing to show
The more you drive around you go.
Bridge
A bloody tank of ambition will have a different cost to fill
Reaching a destination can feel like the only thing that’s real
Watching it change position regardless of high-octane fuel
While more keeps evading the chasing hunger of an oil drill
Verse 3-
The drive to more might be fulfilling
The emptiness says that it’s willing
To work enough to sacrifice
The time to drive for paradise
Verse 1-
She has the quintessential beauty
Inherently seducing with her attractively shaped features
She is beyond all earthly creatures
Her smile has no rival, no runner up within the mile
She has eyes that blaze with a mystique
They draw you in ‘till you can’t think-
About anything else except for her and how she feels
Her appeal so far excels it’s like she’s using magical spells
Her beauty is beastly like a lion is intimidating
With the kind of body that’s evolved to a higher degree
Chorus
She is attractive like the sun is attractive
Like oxygen to lungs
She is the water that all bodies need to drink
She is attractive like the sun is attractive
To the earth that goes around it
Her cosmic body attracts with gravity
She is attractive like the sun is attractive
The cause to the reaction
The nourishment that the starving belly needs
Verse 2-
When it comes to magnetism it’s as if she’s using hypnotism
Like her body is a pendulum eyes follow and minds go numb
Until all verbalism becomes a complete idiotism
Losing all rationalism in the fog of romanticism
With awe she inspires fantasies of just a touch from her
She’s gorgeous enough to drive any man that’s alive insane
With desire like they were mice and she was the pied piper
Playing flute it’s absolute there is no way to fully explain
Verse 3-
She’s desirable like an oasis of water in the driest places
Like the apple a horse chases when she goes by my heart races
She’s cool and clean as snow she’s more hot than a volcano
Strong like the oceans undertow deep down i don’t want to be let go
From her rays emanating aglow enough for sun bathing
Porch light a moth is craving warmth that’s brilliantly enslaving
Her movements are sexy any sight of skin is alluring
Breath taking when she starts flirting oh my mind is now perverting
Verse 1-
The Tuckers had seen three generations
Living at home on family land
Jacks grandpa had once told him
To hold on to your home it takes a strong hand
Jack Tucker became a husband
And a father to a son
As the head of the family
He swore that their homeland would be passed on
Chorus
Any means anything necessary
To stop the bank from taking their land
It seemed fitting that through armed robbery
Was how he got the money to pay the bank back
Verse 2-
Jack was faced with eviction
Because his home was being taxed
He was forced into the position
To sign on the line of a bank loan contract
Now the tax collector was paid
But the loan was collecting interest
Until the bank was eager to claim
The only valuable thing that the Tuckers possessed
Verse 3-
On a quite Thursday evening
Right at about closing time
Jack entered with a mask on
And pointed at the teller with a military 45
Then he whispered his request
And handed over a burlap sack
The teller filled it with cash
No one ever found out that it was Jack.
Where does it come from
And how do I get there
Is the work that I’m trying to do going anywhere
Is there any way to learn why there is pain
Will I be able to accept the struggle that I’m facing
Chorus
Somehow it’s alright-anyway
On some scale there is meaning to the dismay
If my head is down- it’s only to make it through
The branch that is pruned back will put out stronger shoots
It’s not that I believe- it’s more like suspicion
The suffering that is felt is a temporary condition
Bridge
Don’t worry – it will all be over soon
Where I find myself- might be what I deserve
I only see the dark when I take the time to observe
I’ve felt some confusion- I’ve wrestled with some fears
Some fears have come true- some confusions have become clear.
It’s nothing compared to my love for you
The problems are petty when weighed up next to
All the good times we’ve had and the passions we’ve shared
The difficulties seem small when they are compared
It’s nothing compared to my love for you
No argument strong enough to break us in two
We are both strong willed and that can be tough
But the love comes easy and it’s more than enough
It’s nothing compared to my love for you
Even when you don’t like all the things that I do
Know that I do my best to act from my heart
When the times are good or when they are hard
I STILL LOVE YOU I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
It’s nothing compared to my love for you
Although I’m not perfect my intentions are true
I offer my self and the ways that I feel
I offer my self in the ways that are real
Steel Toe Joe was a dancing fool
He’d dance all over the town
He tried the Riverdance in his skintight stretch pants
But he never looked like much more than a clown
Two Left Feet Lenny was a dancing fool
He liked to try to swing dance all night
But you can’t drop your partner and still look cool
And this time she was pissed enough to want to fight
Little Clumsy Kiki was a dancing fool
She liked to take methanphetamines and rave
She’d dance in a trance with her hands down her pants
And no one on the dance floor was safe
On one fateful night when all the stars where aligned
All tragic three met at the same disco club
They cleared the dance floor of any grace that one could find
Never has such a fumbling dance troupe grouped up
Chorus-
Music is more than just atmospheric filler
Music is a powerful natural pain killer
Verse 1-
Low times always come but they also always go
What’s left is the music that reminds you what you know
And makes you feel the sensation of being high
Let go the negativity that only makes you die
Do it like you mean it and do it naturally
Remember all the ways how you want to be
Music is a guide to making your life filled
Keep listening until the pain has been killed
Verse 2-
Join in if you’re someone who is suffering from some pain
Suffering from heart ache or because of a migraine
If you’re dealing with a back ache or psychological strain
Join in with those of us who know that music will sustain
Harmony can be a panacea offering relief
Its efficacy is not reliant on belief
Rhythms have a way of making hardships decrease
Join the melody and the booming of the beats
BRIDGE
Verse 3-
This life can be a struggle no matter who you are
Trying to be yourself can be amazingly hard
Coping with the brutal qualities of fellow man
Making war with neighbors and raping the land
It’s difficult to deal with this negativity
That’s why a major release is really what we need
It’s your obligation to feel good and let it spread
Make sure you show no mercy until the pain is dead
Verse 1-
MONEY IS CRUCIAL, FOR PURCHASING FOOD TO EAT
FOR BUYING CLOTHES TO KEEP YOU WARM, IT HAS BECOME A NECESSITY
MONEY IS REQUIRED, TO PAY TAXES FOR GOVERNMENT
IF YOU DON’T PAY THEM OFF, THEY DECIDE YOUR PUNISHMENT
Verse 2-
MONEY IS ESSENTIAL, TO SECURE A PLACE TO LIVE
IF YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO BUY, YOU HAVE TO FIND SOMEWHERE TO RENT
MONEY IS NECESSARY, TO BE A PART OF SOCIETY
SOCIALLY THERE ARE REWARDS TO THOSE WHO ARE THE MOST GREEDY
Chorus -
MONEY IS THE GOD OF THE CAPITAL RELIGION
WHETHER YOU GIVE TITHINGS OR NOT IS NO LONGER YOUR DECISION
THE CLERGY WORSHIPS WITH GREED IN THEIR GLOBAL CAPITALISM
“TAKE ALL YOU CAN WANT” THAT’S THE SACRED APHORISM
Bridge -
DOLLAR DEVOTEES AND FINANCIAL PRIESTS, WHO HAVE SACRIFICED EVERYTHING FOR THEIR HOLY ECONOMY,
FOR THE ALMIGHTY CREDIT OF BUSINESS SUCCESS DEVOTION IS EMOTIONLESS
PRAYING 60 HOURS A WEEK TO THE GOD OF EXCESS
Verse 3-
MONEY IS EMPOWERING, FOR CONSTRUCTION AND DESTRUCTION
MOTIVATING PEOPLE WITH ITS CATALYTIC SEDUCTION
MONEY IS ALWAYS DIRTY, TRAVELING THROUGH SO MANY HANDS
NO ONE IS FREE FROM THE EFFECTS OF MONEY’S CONSUMPTIVE DEMANDS
There is a cause and a reaction
It all starts with an attraction
We both feel it clearly
Your body language speaks eloquently
Mutual desire exclusivity
Me wanting you and you wanting me
To share in the sensing
Of our bodies finest feelings
CHORUS -
Is it on your mind
Turning on your imagination
To desires of sexual sensation
Curves that yearn for a firm caress
Inspiring vivid images
When it’s intense
Two bodies abilities
Fulfill each other’s physical needs
Is that what the glint in your eye means?
Is that why our smiles mirror reflectively
When we get together privately
I see snapshots of our bodies mingling
All the comforts know and rubbed against
Tasty morsels of decadence
Shared in and inflicted upon
Smooth skin nakedness is always a turn on
This dance comes to a crescendo
Rolling around together in tempo
Like scientists experimenting
To explore all that is naturally tempting
As ancient as breathing
They wouldn’t deny there is a reason
The silver light is shining
Illuminating the night and the bleating
Hearts open wide
They found each other
Verse 1-
When they were in the wilderness
They could no longer repress
Their animalistic urges
For instinctual convergence
In the deep magnificence
They had no chance to protest
No way they could resist against
The seduction of the wilderness
Chorus
As ancient as breathing
They were overcome by the feeling
Verse 2-
Whispers begin to express
And crescendo like storminess
Into more passionate noises
Only the woods bear witness
With a wild ambience
The forest offers an entrance
They join the ageless process
Seduction in the wilderness
Verse 3-
They felt lucid without choices
Like a dream that makes sense
They foreshadow what comes next
Sharing the moment of suspense
The forest sounds encouragement
As now they join the past
In the all consuming dance
The seduction of the wilderness
let me start by giving my appreciation
to those of you who are giving your attention
to the meaning of the sounds that by it’s nature is hidden
through the lyric can be found the secret literally within
a secrecy without attention so those listen who are lithe
an obvious invitation to a festive state of mind -
CHORUS-
THINGS CHANGE AS FAST AS CYCLES GO AROUND –
THE MOMENT YOU ARE UP THE NEXT MAY BE DOWN –
POTENTIAL TO LOSE MORE IS WHEN YOU HAVE THE MOST –
SO IN ALL APPRECIATION WE CALL A TOAST TO ALL THE GOOD THINGS CELEBRATE WHAT MAKES LIFE WORTH LIVING -
we all have some cause to feel appreciation
cheers to that my friend and to a life of gratification
for the complex and the simple things we rise to the occasion
here’s to health and what the hell we’ll even drink to re-hydration
raise your cups and think of something you can praise
celebrate what’s happening in circumstance of this soiree
a salute to pleasures of the flesh and joy within the mind
give it up for what you love and all the good things
of this life -
the more you try to ignore it
the more it screams in your face –
the more you try not to give it energy
the more sacrifice it takes -
CHORUS –
THE WAY OF THE WORLD, THAT’S THE WAY OF THE WORLD -
THE WAY OF THE WORLD - THAT’S JUST THE WAY OF THE WORLD -
the harder that you try to push it
the stronger there is a pull
the more you try to make a stand
the harder that it is not to fall -
CHORUS -
BRIDGE -
there is decay in the way of the world
but you try anyway in the way of the world
is struggle inherent in the way of the world?
how long can you bear it?
how long can the world? -
it’s like gravity, a natural law
observation will prove that it’s real
it’s like entropy, order and chaos
if it can go wrong, then it probably will -
in a strange place he’s often been
he stands alone with no shelter
no protection from the carving wind
only persistence to sustain him
drowning slower than the rest
she stubbornly holds her breath
even though she has no chance
against the carving current
CHORUS -
ALL OF THE ELEMENTS
NOTHING TO DECIDE
THE ACCURATE SCALE WILL WEIGH BOTH SIDES
she finds herself buried alive
and somehow she’s not surprised
wrapped inside the carving earth
a blanket of mild comfort
when the spark ignited it
the kindling started burning him
a breath like a sigh of relief
lit by the carving flame
life is but a flame, remember who and what you’ve burned
if everything to you just seems the same, chances are that there’s no lesson learned
know yourself before you think that you know somebody else
everything that comes must surely go
burning inside you, burning inside me
the flames that I throw in my path keep me from what I need to see
I want my walls to come tumbling down but my roof is on fire
everything that comes must surely go
CHORUS –
BURNING BOTH ENDS
fire burns it’s fuel, and when the fuel is gone it dies
the body is what life consumes and heat is made when the flames rise
everything given can always be taken away
and everything that comes must surely go
light from the heat and heat from the light
the tinderbox sits ready for a spark to make it ignite
I want the world to turn around but it’s too shook up
everything that comes must surely go
is there a problem or is it merely your device
is there something going on that involves deceit and lies
you know who done who wrong and how they cheat and why
entertained by arguments and fulfilled by shallow fights
CHORUS -
IT’S JUST SOAP OPERATIC - I’M NOT A PLAYER IN YOUR DRAMA
I’M NOT EVEN SYMPATHETIC - TO YOUR THEATRIC SAGA
expectations are falling short for me these days
with the way the world is going I need to learn more evil ways
my honesty sends your mind into a race
right then and there is when I see your second face
CHORUS -
is your life really that devoid of excitement
that you have to create your own petty stimulants
spreading shallow stories that have been cheaply knit
if that’s the life you want, just leave me out of it
when I die bury me straight in the ground - when I die
bury me straight in the ground - I don’t need a box for where my flesh
is bound - no need to impede the melding of my bones into the ground -
wrapped in a shroud within the ground I’d lay in an outlaw’s grave - wrapped
in a shroud within the ground I’d lay in an outlaw’s grave - instead of a
dead headstone let the life of a tree be made - so as I decompose it grows and
so goes the exchange -
the first encounter with fear happened while you were young
introduced to the possibilities of what harm could come
from the night in the shadows creep morbid formations
to remind you that from some things there is no protection –
with a body that can feel pain as real as blood is red
the potential to suffer has no extent
feel the fear as a fuel of instinctive caution
because the dread of what can’t be seen might not just be in your head -
CHORUS -
WHEN THERE IS FEAR, THERE IS REASON TOO
THE UNKNOWN IS ALWAYS THERE, REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU DO
with the feeling of a shiver crawling down your neck
you imagine what could happen in the next
moment that darkness has it’s effect
not even knowing what there is to fear most yet
and it could always get worse and worse than being dead
with physical tortures and gory bloodshed
it will eat you alive if it is well fed
because it thrives in the minds of those that will be led -
CHORUS -
BRIDGE -
if this is true (don’t let fear control you)
there’s only one thing to do (and that is to)
live with it (co-exist with it)
not under it (and still resist it)
if you’re wondering whether this is the time to dance,
yes it is - if your body feels the urge of rhythmic movements, it’s time to dance -
so move your body freely and feel the motion of the music we’re making-
there is no reason to hold back your body’s desires, so let them loose - feel
each beat adding heat to the musical fire, that will consume - until your body
has no choice but to step into motion - and as you do you are one with the
commotion - if it’s right we will all feel the buzz - loosen up like
James Brown does -
CHORUS -
IT’S TIME TO DANCE AWAY ANY PAIN THAT YOU FEEL - IT’S TIME
TO DANCE AS A METHOD TO HEAL - DANCE FOR THE PLEASURE OF
PHYSICAL LIFE - THE MORE YOU MOVE, THE MORE YOU GET HIGH -
why persist to resist the need to dance that exists, inherently - let go to the
music that provokes your hips to twist, naturally - and so now we are compelled
from within - to get the inside out further than it’s ever been - out past any self
inhibition - let your body move with reason -
CHORUS-
if you’re wondering whether this is the time to dance -
THIS IS THE TIME TO DANCE -
goodbye to who I was, hello to who I am now- for better or
for worse, everything has been changed around - the day rises new and wipes
away the past - what it will open to is sure to pass on just as fast -
CHORUS -
WHAT THE HELL HERE IT GOES - ANY DIRECTION FOR ALL I KNOW -
IS THIS REALLY WHAT I CHOSE - I HOPE THE HIGHS ARE AS HIGH AS THE
LOWS ARE LOW.
the time for change has come, all the difference is clear - when I try to hold on
to it, the wheel is too hard to steer - it seems like there is a track and that’s where
the roller coaster’s going to roll - so what the hell I sit back and try to enjoy the
way it unfolds -
BRIDGE -
NO MORE HESITATION - FINAL INSTIGATION - TOWARDS AN OPEN
ENDED DESTINATION - NO LONGER A NEED TO BE PATIENT -
the build-up finally crashed, it can’t hold me back any more - let it out like a
shout, call in a whole new start - bring on all that’s next and laugh at the lack of
control - the crap game is played best when you don’t care how the dice roll.
Just finished the last and i’m hearing the
sounds - i’m trying to forget anything that I can - this is my time without
anyone else around to ferment into the worst of who I am - just finished the
last and I’m hearing the sounds - and now it’s to late, I’ve already let myself
down -
CHORUS -
FEELS LIKE I LOST IT AND I NEVER HAD THE CHANCE - NOT TO
LOSE THE MOMENT WHEN PURE UNCONCIOUSNESS COULD LAST - OH YEAH
I LOST IT - MORE LIKE I GAVE UP AND TOSSED IT - I TOSSED THE MOMENT AND
NOW I’M STUCK WITH MYSELF -
It’s past blue, it’s past coloring sounds - you’ve got to feel what I feel to be in
the void of reason where i am found -
