In My Dreamworld 01:30
lyrics
buy track
In my dreamworld It's always 11am Overcast skies, 64 degrees Fahrenheit The clouds reflect the sun's light as is pushes toward mid day And spills evenly through my windows With as little contrast as nature can muster And while I admire the phenomenon I consider how to spend my time And though I most certainly not by any outward standard or pressure The answer is often the same I am compelled to stand Axe in hand Fuzzy bear foot slipper shod Ugly homemade sweater donned Ready to paint

Nebbie 03:15
lyrics
buy track
Here she comes, stomping, stomping, stomping across the floor Looks right at me with her big moon eyes She lies down next to me, makes every move so gracefully And she purrs like a v12 idling at a red light My heart, my heart, my heart In a distinct way My heart, my heart, my heart Belongs to my Nebbie Catch her there napping, napping, napping on the couch Take one look and you know she's the queen Upside down with eyes closed Fangs exposed like a bat, matter of fact I can feel her love and comfort by this evidence My heart, my heart, my heart In a distinct way My heart, my heart, my heart Belongs to my Nebbie Here she comes, here she comes Here she comes, here she comes Here she comes, here she comes My heart, my heart, my heart In a distinct way My heart, my heart, my heart Belongs to my Nebbie

Father Said 03:10
lyrics
buy track
Father said Plain and true This what I ask of you Understand You only control yourself You can come with a plan and your tightest grip You still can fail, you still might slip Seldom certain, but if you know what you're looking for Daddy said chase it, with the gas mashed to the floor Yeah daddy said Come on, come on, come on, come on Reach out for what you want to be and let the critics count the score Don't get mad Just get even Father said when I'm reeling Understand Some will lay the bait for kicks You can see past their masks and still be afraid Can't count the times I felt that way Father always said begging for Forgiveness was better Than asking for permission If you want something Father said Plain and true Be home for dinner on time No matter what you do

End Is Nigh 03:27
lyrics
buy track
In the name of the story we are telling everyday With every gesture and word that we say We are moving in directions, separate With one destination We are part, we are whole, we are standing 'tween the doors of A primal scream, the perfect dream But better off instead To thank you for the view, safe within your head We are dancing in the carousel, it spirals 'hind our eyes We are ringing on the tower bell We hear it pass the time When the end is nigh on here (no big deal) Leave the fruit, eat the peel I know not when my heart will be still Call it a rock or a stone it rolls downhill In the way every shape and color dark or bright Show us the changes, show us the light To be, to be free to be the ones we always were To be chewing on our tails To be the ones we all deserve When the end is nigh on here (no big deal) Leave the fruit, eat the peel I know not when my heart will be still Call it a rock or a stone it rolls downhill

Choose To Exist 04:30
lyrics
buy track
I know it's so whatever But we are in this together Think of all the ways we are the same We are the same We eat, we drink, we sleep, we breathe From the same air So wipe that ego off We might stand on common ground If we had any around Is this just a fad, just a passing phase? The dirt under my fingernails reminds my fate All I got is this rock And every day I roll it to the top And when it tumbles down Don't get pissed Choose to exist If we forget to give love We forget what we're made of Star dust to dust, you know the thing You know the thing Our hearts all beat, our parts all bleed Under the knife, could you tell yours from mine? Would you ever talk to me If you thought I'd disagree? Just when it all looked bad, it was only a taste When all the good and as-it-should is gone what will we waste? All I got is this rock And every day I roll it to the top And when it tumbles down Don't get pissed Choose to exist

Feat Whet 03:02
lyrics
buy track
Absolution is not sustained, it is made Point to point and case by case We are compelled to make our case with the absolute Yes or no, right or wrong But what of vanity? Yes we must choose, and choose how Scroll, stroll, sample console Backend suspicions, put a hold on your goals, we got Coffee liquor yogi magic bean counters Weed ounces deep bounces in the wavelength the need houses Variety or die, dilemmas of the dabbler Scatter-brained savant with cheddar waffle batter Beer for the laughter, wine when it matters Bulleit for hard starts, smoke and pills for the after Don't be to in or out, you can't lock it down Don't think to think out loud, you can't stop it now Be one with what comes in front of, realize Time is to space one in the same topic When up for debate I make believe I'm rockin some New shit with my feat whet, hands dry Taboo life, as if I ain't gonna die Choices, choices to be passive or boisterous Loud-mouthed or cloistered up like reef oysters Playin it cool in the blue with Laundry lines, rainy times, special kinds, sticky grinds Connoisseur a life from a blind state of mine Own ability limited and finicky Propped up on the backdrop of infinity Don't be to in or out, you can't lock it down Don't think to think out loud, you can't stop it now Be one with what comes in front of, realize Time is to space one in the same topic When up for debate I make believe I'm rockin some New shit with my feat whet, hands dry Taboo life, as if I ain't gonna die

Death & Taxes 03:39
lyrics
buy track
Hair on end up my spine The feeling I get when I see the world through that special light From windows I dare not look in Glimpsed without and within a second presence Just past the corner of my eye So as a measure of self preservation I spend my days inside If you let go And your world Falls off axis Stick to what you know Death and taxes Don't say "you'll be fine" We know people never are Birth, pain, death designed Somewhere written on a star Glimpsed without and within a second presence I know could break my mind Settle for the gist, sacrifice the essence Preferring to be blind If you let go And your world Falls off axis Stick to what you know Death and taxes No doctor, no patience For those sorts of obligations I hold the station to prescribe and purchase My own medication if the purpose serves And when all else fails, as it surely will Just as unseen drops always seem to spill And just as the moon wanes and waxes I can count on death and taxes If you let go And your world Falls off axis Stick to what you know Death and taxes

Calamity 02:56
lyrics

What's that you say? You'd like to disagree? Hey that's OK but tell me why Could you do that for me? With no calamity? Oh no, you we can't do it We'd get too upset before we were through it Oh yea, we better not share Keep a tight lid on it Keep the peace and walk away That cat will catch your tongue If you ask the wrong one Oh no, calamity Mother says be careful what you say Mind your manners, don't make waves Could you do that for me? With no calamity? Yea Ma, you know I get the deal We can't help sometimes But think how we feel Oh yea, we better not share Keep a tight lid on it Keep the peace and walk away That cat will catch your tongue If you ask the wrong one Oh no, calamity We are living in a baloon Bound to burst Wide open, make no mistake What comes after might be worse Oh yea, we better not share Keep a tight lid on it Keep the peace and walk away That cat will catch your tongue If you ask the wrong one Oh no, calamity

Zero Sum Game 02:56
lyrics
buy track
Well it took a little time, but hey, I worked it out I thought through all the things you said you cared about And I feel the same Zero sum game No, the facts haven't changed Despite being rearranged By the words and wealth of the high class And even if you're right to say they're gonna fuck us anyway I pitch my tent right here in the trench Zero sum game They made it cheap For you and me But that don't mean I give away my say Keep my right to complain No, the system doesn't work from within or without And circle-talking wallets don't seem to care about Do you feel the same? Like they oughta pay? And I'll wager there are all sorts of better ways And if they come I'll be right behind Mustaine at the gates With a smile on my face and jaded expectations I pay my rent, I don't need to repent Zero sum game They made it cheap For you and me But that don't mean I give away my say Keep my right to complain You know I wanna be the picture of your statistic The young don't vote, we just smoke dope Since no one seems to care at all Zero sum game They made it cheap For you and me But that don't mean I give away my say Keep my right to complain

Blind Spot 04:19
lyrics

Blind spot We all have one somewhere The others saw it Point, laugh, stare Fall back Don't speak too fast Stay with the pack The lonesome never last I'm not your rival, not your friend Not your family or the police man If I were thee and thy were me then We would be not far from where we are Stay lax The tension serves you ill Panic attack Tremble, falter, spill Don't ask No name will ring true Let the moment pass Your silence covers you I'm not your rival, not your friend Not your family or the police man If I were thee and thy were me then We would be not far from where we are If you're a stranger to you You're the same to me If I'm stranger than you Well I guess we'll see I'm not your rival, not your friend Not your family or the police man If I were thee and thy were me then We would be not far from where we are

Crusader 05:25
lyrics

He shows me wrong from right He fuels my inner light My every step he guides I trust him with my life For on the day I die At the appointed time I'll know just where to go Because he knows my soul If there are enemies Well what does that make me? Oh no, don't say any more Thinking you're special breaks the very first rule And doubtless you should know Crusader, good book in your hand Did they ever love you? Did they every understand? Give me shame I yield pride Dig my heels in spite You know not who he is Speak further at your risk It's simple black and white Feast friends or foes to fight And when the last bell tolls He will make us whole Our father who art in heaven Hallowed by thy name Thy kingdom come, thy will be done On Earth as it is in heaven Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our trespasses As we forgive those who trespass against us As we forgive those who trespass against us As we forgive those who trespass against us If there are enemies Well what does that make me? Oh no, don't say any more Thinking you're special breaks the very first rule And doubtless you should know Crusader, good book in your hand Did they ever love you? Did they every understand?

Eternity Train 03:32
lyrics
buy track
Portals and portholes In a simple melody Enter another world Away from the tragedy Escape, dodge fate Now you're in control Only for the moment though We all come around At the edges of the universe Leading the light back to the sound Dissolving into everything Salt, clouds and dirt for the sea, sky and ground The eternity train Is calling your name I see it in you To me it shows so clear You have what it takes to leave the stratosphere It's great, take a picture and Enjoy the view Doesn't matter what you do We all come down, back to The center of the universe Where we are from, where we are bound Dissolving into everything Salt, clouds and dirt for the sea, sky and ground The eternity train Is calling your name Can you hear it coming? Coming your way? Calling your name? As we journey through the universe Nothing is lost, nothing is found Dissolving into everything Salt, clouds and dirt for the sea, sky and ground The eternity train Is calling your name
