It's Only Over When...

You never know that feeling till you try 
That healing feeling can turn you all about 
And you can see the second wave of life 
That losers triangle sets you down and out 
Don't misread 
Don't mislead 
You could be your only friend 
But when the hammer comes down 
And you don't hear a sound 
You can look all around and see... 
That it's only over when you give up!

Chasing The Wild Goose

There was a man who banged his head against a wall 
He banged for 20 years, the damn thing wouldn't fall 
He left an honest life 
He left a broken wife 
He left it all behind, just to see what he could find 
Millions and millions chase the wild goose tonight 
To conquer loneliness they'll chase it all their lives 
And when they find it they can just lay down and die 
It seems the game is mostly pointless in the presence of the prize 
There was a woman who had a man as cold as ice 
He built four walls so strong and he kept her locked inside 
She harbored loneliness 
Her husband couldn't guess 
That she'd take off her dress 
And kill herself without a mess

Billy Gnosis

Crack developed and a name blew in 
Billy gnosis, weak and thin 
He moved to california to start a new life 
Because back in his hometown he just killed his wife 
Oh billy can't remember his name 
Billy gnosis was going insane 
And soaked in blue light he played and played 
I can still hear the sound he made... 
Billy burned his phone and blew up his car 
He sat and watched tv and played the guitar 
And read a book that made his head spin 
How could he have known that there were worms within? 
And the worms ate into his brain 
Through his eyes and through his ears they came 
They made a home so they could multiply 
And feed on billy's chemicals in paradise

Time And Disregard

-Part One-
From the bird and the deer who live on the same 
To the condominiums that litter the plain 
It took time... time and disregard 
From the green and the trees that shot high in the air 
To the high-business market-men who take all that's there 
It took time... time and disregard 
-Part Two-
One more acre, another tree 
"It's all untamed, of course it's free" 
One more acre, it seems no one cares 
"Another great chance to put a building there" 
-Part Three-
I used to roam, wherever I would 
I'd see my friends and I'd eat what I could 
We did live together in our borderless state 
Survival our instinct, nature our fate 
Today I see those borders and my friends disappear 
Man chooses my fate thus I live in fear 
Tomorrow the trucks come 
I've nowhere to run 
My home is destroyed so they can have fun 
-Part Four-
From the wild natural wonderland from which we all came 
To the cement and metal that lost all the game 
It took time... time and disregard...

The Dichotomy

Hey did you find the pieces your mentor left behind? 
And did you care, did you trade his genius for your dispair? 
Did you walk the line? 
Did you see the mongrels on either side? 
Did greasy fingers grasp for pieces of your mind?

Million Days

When you're sitting alone, frown and groan 
Over your bad day 
When you're laughing with peers 
Forget your years, then be on your way 
But don't forget, all the while 
That you've crossed the social mile 
And a million days is worth one good laugh 
But don't forget, all the while 
That you've crossed the social mile 
And a million days is worth one good laugh

Losing Generation

The systems of life hum accordingly 
Every day, every year, every century 
But, everywhere humans go things get worse and worse 
Can't you tell through the smoke in the dirty city 
The jungle was once a tranquil hideaway 
For the kind of trees and the mountains themselves 
But man those things sell a million dollars a pound 
Cut them up, dry them out, good display for the shelves 
Why can't we just leave them alone? 
Who is the animal? 
Who is that dangerous beast? 
Why were the other ones made? 
I know it wasn't just for our feast 
And now they're down to 250 lone souls 
They're a breed of a losing generation it seems 
The killers are ourselves so you know who to blame 
It was man with his plan and his frightening greed 
I don't think we'll ever leave them alone

...You Give Up

So... 
You've given it all you can 
And your life is in the garbage can 
And you say you're tired and dry 
Cuz your mind won't let you cry 
So you hang up what is left inside 
And you want to kiss it all goodbye 
You're lost in space, you're swirling ever higher 
You're lost on your own, you're too far from home 
You're no one's friend, you gave it your best try 
Yeah! 
You're stuck in the drone, of being alone 
You turn to light, but all you get is darkness 
Your head turns to stone, your numbness has grown 
You're stuck inside your little world of rejects 
The good world unknown, you're stuck in the drone
