Horizons

You know the moon controls what you think you do
And all the eyes in the ceiling they are looking at you
But they don’t think you’re cute, no
They wanna kill you
And all the cats can get jiggy with feasting too
Now I’m running away but there’s nowhere to run
There are too many doors and no one’s having fun
You know, yellow soldiers love blue women
The man with the gun is killing the kitten
My ode to the elixir
Just ride it quicker
All alone you’ve lost your way
With me you will ride the wave
All alone you’ve lost your way
With me you will ride the wave
Now I’m confessing all my sins to the bartender
Who says to say a Hail Mary and go on a bender
Now a man walks in, conversation reset
He says he loves his life, finishes his cigarette
So we talk for a while, amble through our words
He says, “Hopelessness just comes with an unfurling world,
So I exist with the wind and I dance with the trees
Life’s a big weight load, I lift with my knees”
[Pre-chorus/Chorus]
To all the places untouched and the people unseen
Many, so many, just born to be mean
But their souls have sunken in their teeth for the night
Where the motel gives discounts to those with the bite
So you take out a room and find solace in sin
Please do shed your external skin
Placing bets, playing games you’ll never win
All’s well that ends well says the Man of Tin
I even considered
Petting the wolves before they ripped me to shreds
Woke up from that dream found I was already dead
And just at that instant, I felt detached from the bones
Of the vibrations around me, fell deaf to the tones
Like a mountain cast purple at the crest of the horizon
Heaven is a place that you can see but not feel
We all find ourselves so alone, veiled by smoke
If only we could reach out and
Touch
[Chorus]
All alone

Lost In A Trip
06:35
|

And I feel like a new, new man
And I feel like an old, old soldiers
Though I
Hung out and I got myself addicted to the party
I’m never going back
To the state of head that of which we are fed
Is where it’s at but
I’m telling you they’re telling you wrong
Oh oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah
Lost in a trip
Washed away by the sea
All that you are
Is my favorite memory
Do you feel you’re stuck in a maze?
Confused by the passing of days?
You want to pack and go
They say if it’s right you’ll somehow know
These dark skies are just clouds passing through
It seems to split your heart in two
If you want to see what’s right
Let me put your soul on ice
Secret on her mind
It’s with her all the time
And, oh, she wouldn’t mind
If she were to go blind
To the faslehood of the day
The needle in the hay
Happens to poke her
This work seems to choke her
[Pre-chorus/Chorus]
So put my soul on ice
Disease of the mind
It’s taking all her time
And, oh, she don’t know why
All that she loved has died
But the one thing that remains
She loves it when it rains
She feels on her skin
What’s always been within
[Chorus]

In The Fire
06:14
|

The busy bees all scrambling for truth
Power stripped away from even the youth
The SWAT team’s waging a war on the people
The minister flies from the top of the steeple
The government bails out God himself
Who has no excuse for this tragic wealth
Maybe we’d be fine if we could just hit pause
Another man dies for another cause
Another cause dies all on its own
In fields of grey, where no buffalo roam
Oh, the Earth is shakin’ from years of abuse
And if you deny this, son, you got no use
This ain’t about me or you or Timbuktu
Nor distant lands, desert sands,
Where the people speak a language that you don’t understand
Oh, the world is on fire, you have no idea
They even callin’ for change in North Korea
These are turbulent times, a battle of minds
Sir, if you are not lying please look me in the eyes
This is a fight for the now, a crisis of identity
Everyone wants to know, “How do you define Humanity?”
No, no, no I don’t have a gun sir
[Chorus]
The president comes out to crowds booing
Because, honestly, what the fuck are we doing?
Our leaders drop bombs like they suck their thumbs
And to a vicious cycle of hate our world succumbs
This is the War on Drugs, this is 9/11
This is your burning rage, too many souls in Heaven
We are clenching our fist, biting fate’s bottom lip
And all the stars in the sky, well, they don’t mean shit
Do you believe in gay rights?
Do you call yourself a Christian?
Do you have any idea what you might be missing?
On the other side, against the tide
Waves like this leave men terrified
They stop and frisk, the Feds are listenin’ in
I got a feeling they ‘bout ready for an uprisin’
They control and manipulate, their throne is the TV
Is this what they’ve come to call Democracy?
They don’t care ‘til you’re pushing up daisies
Gimme drugs to lose the crazies
Hold right there
Hold right still
In the mosh pit, in the fire
They love you but they a liar
They killed the kid and they’ll kill you too
So sing the song of the burning you
[Chorus]
The government bails out God himself
Who has no excuse for this tragic wealth
Maybe we’d be fine if we could just hit pause
Another man dies for another cause
Another cause dies all on its own
In fields of grey, where no buffalo roam
Oh, the Earth is shakin’ from years of abuse
And if you deny this, son, you got no use
This ain’t about me or you or Timbuktu
Nor distant lands, desert sands,
Where the people speak a language that you don’t understand
[Chorus]
