Look Into My Eyes

Think you know where you’re goin?
Think you know where you been?
Let me tell you one thing
you don’t know a god damn thing
Look into my eyes
things will never be the same
Look into my eyes
you know you’re the one to blame
You thought life would be easy
you thought life would be fair
you thought someone would help you
you thought someone would care
Look into my eyes
things will never be the same
Look into my eyes
you know you’re the one to blame
Time and time and time again
you feel the walls closing in
you can’t breathe and you can’t see
you ain’t real and you ain’t free
Look into my eyes
things will never be the same
Look into my eyes
you know you’re the one to blame

Human Beings

I can’t believe what I’ve seen
done by human beings
an animal like a virus
and it doesn’t seem to learn a thing
I know that I’m small
but I can’t just do nothin’ at all
should I burn your city down?
or should I just walk away?
I know we’ll never last much longer
living in the same old way
I’d like to see some changes come faster
but I don’t know what part to play and that’s a shame.
What does it take
to get your head on straight
talk talk talky talk talk talk
nobody listens at all
What do we know?
if it leaves us no room to grow
just wind up beatin’ the same old path
till we end up where we was before
I know we’ll never last much longer
living in the same old way
I’d like to see some changes come faster
but I don’t how much more I’ll take
Did you hear what they say?
lie straight to your face
for every nickel that you get
somebody take ten away
when it’s all said and done
is it worth the prize you won?
what did we end up losing,
just so you could play the game?
I know we’ll never last much longer
living in the same old way
I’d like to see some changes come faster
but I’m busy diggin’ my own grave.
Tell me that I’m free
free to do whatever you say
free to trade my soul in
for a couple lousy pennies worth in gold
monitor who you know
better keep your thoughts controlled
they don’t have to tell you what to think
when they already told us all we know
I know we’ll never last much longer
living in the same old way
I’d like to see some changes come faster
but I don’t know what part to play and that’s a shame.

Alice

can you see through that mind’s eye
what you’ll be as the arrow fly
creepin’ ’round the old oak tree
white rabbit gonna lerk there
drink the tea you’ll go cross-eyed
hare, mouse, hatter so high
tea party for three or more
white rabbit could make it four
she’ll be there at the party,no matter her disarray
eat the right little essence, get you though the doorway
alice you can find yourself(x3), down the hole within yourself
Cheshire he’s around here somewhere
eye’s, grin floating min the air
He’ll guide you straight to hatter
discuss a red-queen matter
jaberwock’s summoned by her
monster victim of the vorpol
blade and dragon know each other
friends to the end also brother
shun the frumious bandersnatch, hide behind the tum tum tum tree
there away from the jubjub and jaberwock, gyre and gimble in the watch
and stood awhile in thought, uffish though is where he stood
in the thought is where he stood…
the blade goes snicker and snack, its gonna leave you dead
callooh! Callay! it’s dead…

Future Past

Where do you go when you find yourself grasping for control
what will you do when you see yourself for everything that its worth
Its all in what you be, not what you keep inside
you could have everything, yet you run and hide.
you are dreaming
this soon will pass
start to be it
make your dreams last
Backwards and forwards it comes and it goes
do you see what they know?
moving in sequence you can’t stop the dreams
telling me you ought to know.
you are dreaming
this soon will pass
start to be it
make your dreams last
Building it up and tearing it down
the world works on her own
for better or worse we’re all playing our part
as pieces of the whole
There’s so much work to do
just to know your path
now that I sort it through,
the future is the past
you are dreaming
this soon will pass
start to be it
make your dreams last

Jezebel

She was born in the mountains
Her Daddy had already run away
She didn’t know his name
She didn’t know his face
He left her without a trace
Years go by and she’s getting older
Her beauty was a blessing and a curse
Momma’s new beau
Tormented her so
Now she’s all alone
Hatred and anger, helped her survival
She’s no victim anymore
The men she uses
The men she abuses
She leaves them begging for more
Jezebel’s gonna send you to hell
With a smile on your face
Jezebel no she won’t tell
There ain’t no point in the chase
Jezebel
Whoa whoa
Jezebel
whoa …

Sacred Cash Cow
04:48

Always wasting, always wanting, always expecting
deserving more
They will eat you, its how we feed you, we all need to,
forever more.
but they’re selling you
a little piece of the truth
there’s nothing you can do, there all after you.
With sacred cash cows and holier than thous, better just be here now
don’t get confused.
Stand up straight, don’t be afraid, cuz giving up is the only way to lose
but we’re selling you,
a dream or two
there’s nothing you can do
we all feed off you
no use hiding on the run don’t you know?
if you ain’t under no one’s gun
easier said but better off done
find something to love and hold on
and you could take away the pain of it all
if you could just let yourself go
no use trying to find a reason to be
there are some things we’ll never know
no use hiding on the run don’t you know?
if you ain’t under no one’s gun
easier said but better off done
find something to love and hold on
find something to love and hold on

Be Like Water
04:26

I am a puppet on the golden thread to the heavens
servants to form or slaves to formless and nothing
new found pathways to crossroads of the looking glass
I am neither large nor small no matter what cake or potion I ingest, no matter
I cut the strings that bind a boundless soul
floating free will instill the spirit down formless paths of spontaneity
gaily your depression strikes at your happiness alone, alone
I feel the energies all around, I am one, I feel the aura all around, I am one
I am the river changing earth you must be like water
letting all flow right off like a new spring rain or snow
finding fluid motion changing self you must be like water
I feel the water all around, to know, I am the water all around, to know
