Spark

You've been living with
your head in the clouds
Look who's coming down
You've been living with
your heart in the mud
it's time to dig it out
Just a Spark
and it's over
Everyone that
You love
Just a spark and then it's gone
The World is asleep
without a Song
Our hearts grow cold
Why aren't you breathing
anymore?
Promise you'll love me forever
Just a Spark
and it's over
Everyone that
You love
Just a Spark
and it's over...

Open Sesame #2
03:40

Where did you run with my head?
Took my brain from my skeleton
put it on a silver platter
mouse-trapped, snakes and ladders
I'd say I love you but I just can't trust it
We'll see each other in Heaven
These are the levels you cannot win
like in a 80's video game
All the people talking around me
makes you feel so lonely
I'd say I love you but I just can't trust it
You know I love you
You know that I want too much
All for the birds in the bird nests burn down
I'm glad you left right now
I'd say I love you but that just won't fix it
We'll see each other in Heaven...

Medicine
04:52
|
|||
a garden of thoughts overgrown in your head
the words define us
the words confine us
in a linguistic prison cell
science holds the key
but we stay tangled
like a ratking
give me your medicine
i need your medicine
reality won't make itself clear
to the mind that's haunted by fear
in this world there's too much to see
to make sense of everything
the parrot repeats what she hears
the parrot repeats what she hears
i'm an orange trapped in it's peel
and i'm really not sure what i feel
and i'm really not sure what feel
and i'm really not sure what feel
in this world there's too much to see
and i'm really not sure what i feel
give me your medicine
i need your medicine
in the end
compassion is the finest medicine

Not Me (demo)
05:21
|
|||
blah blah blah
I think I am
(you left me in a dreamland)
me, not me, not me, not me
everything i see is temporary
i'm not me, i'm not me
when the seeds die
the seeds turn to trees

I Think I am an Alien
03:32
|
|||
It's such a mysterious
any thing would become a thing
are people pimples
growing on planet earth's face?
I feel weird in my skin
I think I am an alien
The operating system in my head is turning on
are my actions, thoughts and feelings all predetermined?
I walk among the humans
listening for their heart beats
they are as still as me
I feel weird in my skin
I think I am an alien
I think I am an alien
don't think I am a man
don't know about the plan
I don't think I'm a man
I think I am an alien.

Be Happy

Be Happy
He drills holes in his skull
to let the demons out
locked in a room
chained to a bed
searching in earnest for an exit
Machine-gun eyes
alone in a maze
blinking at nothing
A samurai in his brain
dividing not multiplying
Love is all that you need
to be happy
Gosh golly
I wallow in my folly
Whoopsie daisy
Oh, the feeling makes me crazy
Be Happy
She turns on the TV to see
what society has in store for her
A price tag to guide every choice
it takes a lot of stuff to fill the void
We guarantee your satisfaction
so be a slave for consumerism
Clearly the most successful person
is the one with the most possessions
Love is all that you need
to be happy
Gosh golly
I wallow in my folly
Whoopsie daisy
Oh, the feeling makes me crazy
Be Happy
Be Happy
Be Happy
Be Happy

Is this fake?
is everything I think just
a wild guess
open for debate
and subject to
misinterpretation
unprovable metamagical thinking
Is this fake?
I'm not so sure I want to know
I'm growing fond
of all the thoughts I think I know
made to follow the carrot over my head
I'm over weight from the dogma
that i've been fed
Is this fake?
I dreamt I was a butterfly
maybe I am
maybe now I'm dreaming
I'm a man
Is this fake?
whose answer can I really trust?
In this landscape full of creatures
who are all lost
Is this fake? Is this fake? Is this fake?
I ask myself over and over again.

Thinking Man
04:38
|
|||
blah blah blah
I'm thinking man
blah blah blah
cause I'm the man
don't let me think the wrong thoughts
don't let my mind go astray
don't let me think the wrong thoughts
don't let my mind go astray
just let me think the right things
these thoughts are all I'll ever know
don't let me think the wrong things
don't let my mind go astray
just let me think the right thoughts
my thoughts are all I know
my thoughts are all I know
blah blah blah
I'm thinking man
blah blah blah
cause I'm the man

how it all begins
no one understands
this is what I have
this is where I am
sperm in an egg
sprouting dreams
becoming self-ware
a billion cells later
now i'm underground
no thoughts to think about
had a good life
I really can't complain
this is how it all begins
modern science says
this is how it begins:
13.7 billion years ago
some place in space
there was some big bang
but i find it highly unlikely
that science can know exactly
how it begins
how it begins
how it begins
you just can't know it all

i was attracted to your light
like a dizzy moth in the night
i've been shaken
i've been poisoned
if i find love
will i be disillusioned
i rest in the flower's shadow
clearing my mind from all confusion
seeking meaning
beyond merely feeling
weird world
hypnotic
psychotic
we lost it
weird world
i'm an insect in your mouth
you could swollow me if you wanted to
am i the intender of my intentions?
feeling unsure of these decisions
you're putting holes through my wings as
your beauty unfolds
heart-stalkers
ego-strokers
the dreams that plague
all breathing creatures
the need to give and receive affection
to transcend mere simulacrum
weird world
hypnotic
psychotic
we lost it
weird world
i see madness
i see happiness
in the world

Shapeshifter
04:52
|
|||
to be like water
patient and calm
a fearless shapeshifter
and attached to none
with every step you take
you will leave an open wound
and everything is in a
constant state
of growth and decay
did you finally find your peace?
are you healing my friend?
shapeshifter
you're gonna be glowing
shapeshifter

Insect Voices
03:54
|
|||
i find peace
walking through the woods
i lay to rest
all the worries of my world
a damsel fly
hovers over the water
and over the minnows
and toads
in the morning
i hear the wind moving
it sounds like it's trying to speak
i could have sworn i heard it speak
i stand in awe
of what i can't understand
a world of trees
dancing before my eyes
a damsel fly
hovers over the water
and over the minnows
and toads
in the night
i hear insect voices
it sounds like their trying to sing
yes i know
one day i will die
but right now
i am alive
