I'm ahead of the game
Tryin' to get ahead of the game.
Who's your name, mister?
Tryin' to get ahead of what's your name?
Mister where you goin? (Ahead)
What's your mind tell you?
It tells you to listen to your head.
And at the end of that long day
looking into that hall of mirrors
No matter how hard you play the game
You're back to square one with the same
Came into the future aware (the error there)
come back round in helix
who's your mind tell you?
and what's your head tell you?
it tells you to listen to your head
And at the end of that long day
looking into that hall of mirrors

A flood is coming.
Holy water wash this ugly place clean
A storm is blowing.
Probably tear down your favorite tree.
You can't outrun it and you can't hide
and you can't go for shelter cuz your shack is on fire.
Hard rain is falling.
Maybe you should climb the nearest tree.
The ground is trembling.
Gonna shift it all between you and me.
Where you gonna run now that you're faced with yourself.
How am I supposed to build myself a bridge out of hell.
A flood is coming.
May the water wash this whole thing clean.
Evil winds are blowing.
Probably tear down everybody's trees

Look out there's a storm brewin'
Watch it now it's coming this way
The wind is blowing and the tide is high
Waves are crashing and you can't see the sky
Thunder's so thick you can feel the sound
Legs of lightning are scorching the ground
Dark clouds usurp the daylight
The temperature drops and day turns to night
And here comes the rain again
Pourin' down from the heavens
And here comes the rain again
I see the sign I see the eleven
I turn my face to the sky
Extend my arms and close my eyes
I let the water wash over me
Cleansing my soul and setting me free
Cleansing my soul and setting me free.....

Flying hippo cows and pigs with wings
Dali like buildings and melting clocks
Blue suns and golden skies follow you
Through the California Cthulhu
Pretending to find myself
Among the fallen poppy seeds. ...seeds...seeds
Flying angel falling toward you
Heart on my sleeve and what to do?
Let it all go, you got to let it all go
Madness, fluttering eyes flow
Gun in your mouth or at your head.
Instead you choose, rightly said, and fled
Flying bats on wings and stranger things.
It's all holy in the house of madness.
Truly the meek will inherit this shit.
It's an unholy pile of human excrement this
heart on your sleeve and what to do?
Let it all go, I'll be letting it all go.
All over that mountain
Straight out of a canon
Double thumb fist canon
All over that mountain

Show Me the Light

Don't hold me down.
I'm goin' right to the top.
Are you ready for the showdown?
The music's gonna pop
Can you feel the sound?
The beat won't stop.
I don't know which way to go.
Seems I've lost my way.
I don't know if the time is right.
Won't you show me the light.
Can hear the night train
coming down the track?
Can you feel the light rain
rollin' down your back?
Can you see the lightning
gone before the crack
I don't know which way to go.
Seems I've lost my way.
I don't know if the time is right.
Won't you show me the light.

I get the message just throw it up and see what sticks.
Got this problem, depending how you look at it.
I'm always stopping, but don't start as easily.
Ain't it exhausting, but they'll never let you sleep.
It comes in waves, I try to catch one every day
Know my place, just can't muster what it takes.
No time for dreaming when everyone needs you awake
Those long forgotten times, I wouldn't say they're on my mind,
but ain't it a crime the way things crumble over time.
How far is too far? Have we really fallen?
It is what I are. This you can go tell all of them.
It comes in waves, I try to catch one every day
Know my place, just can't muster what it takes.
No time for dreaming when everyone needs you awake
Burning disaster, loosing all you're after.
Forgot what was needed most to say.
And what's the master plan here.
Give me a reason to care.
How can anyone go on this way?
I lost the message or maybe don't know what it means.
Is it a problem? Is it as important as it seems?
Should I be afraid? So they say, so they say.
Just follow the rules.
The house always wins but you MUST play.
It comes in waves, I try to catch one every day
Know my place, just won't muster what it takes.
No time for dreaming when everyone needs you awake

Walkin' and runnin' the hounds keep a comin'.
Hope they don't catch up with me.
Walkin' and Runnin' til darkness turns to light.
Why won't they let me be.
Sleepin' and hidin' living on an island,
you know you're just like me.
Sleepin' and hidin' can't stay any longer.
You know they'll hang me.
You've got something inside of you, you've got something inside.
Don't ever slow down.
Don't ever let 'em see you cry.
Don't ever touch ground.
I'll see you on the other side.
Driftin' and Drifin' way on down the river.
It's gonna set me free.
Driftin' and Driftin' heading down to Cairo,
that's where I'll meet my family.
Little by little the wheel keeps a turnin'
Not gonna roll over me.
Little by little the sun keeps shining.
It's gonna shine on me.
You've got something inside of you, you've got something inside.
Don't ever slow down.
Don't ever let 'em see you cry.
Don't ever touch ground.
I'll see you on the other side.

Singularity
05:21

Awakening instincts forgotten through time
Forcing through doorways recessed in the mind
Guided by riddles, invisible clues
Distracting illusion, inquiry subdued
More pressing concerns in irrelevant news
If the picture were larger we'd have wider views.
You can see contradiction in any shape that you find
This civilization is cancer so what is my crime?
This point is projecting its thoughts to the whole.
Receiving instructions unconsciously known.
The smallest of doorways leading furthest from home,
a powerful secret 12 inches under my nose.
I'm folding inside me, unsure what it means.
I can't seem to explain all the things that I've seen.
Walls start to tremble and faces come through.
Events of this lifetime --a knot tied in a tube.
Cycles repeating seemingly without end.
The stars are rearranging their pattern again.
This point is projecting its thoughts to the whole.
Receiving instructions unconsciously known.
The tiniest spark cause significant flame
Microcosmic mutation, whole systems change
Cosmic momentum, psychological mirror
a focusing lens for all your personal fears
reaching across the multiverse.
Aligning vacuums to galactic core
and calling to question all I've ever known.
I'm not in need of direction so much as lacking a road.
This point is projecting its thoughts to the whole.
Receiving instructions unconsciously known.

Politics of the people... it's personal.
Me and my way, they learn to say.
White House: staged cage of animals
Me and majority will rule some day.
Lab rats in Alice's dreamy scramble,
we all have our own path to stray
We're having tea with the Mad Hatter
Three trees joined, but separate circles,
All worlds are tied together in some way.
With our own faults, no one to judge.
Adjustments lessen the scales she'll weigh.
Weakness rowed like rotting hedge.
Dark within the light will dance and play.
We're having tea with the Mad Hatter
