LYRICS
Right from the start we caught his crying heart
He was a restless boy
A sovereign streak, with all the valleys and peaks
Yes, such a restless boy
We’re sitting in the sun, redesigning a further course to run
Our day of fun, another rock yet to roll
It used to be that you and me would forge the best of times
But things have changed
And now we’ve rearranged along respective lines
We’re singing past the songs
Losing focus on the situations all along
Another rock yet to roll

Mr. Happiness

LYRICS
Hey there Mr Happiness, what you seein’ there on your brain?
Do you reflect on your own loneliness?
It always seems like such a shame
Always seems such a shame
It is always such a shame
Well there, Sir Mendacious-ness
How do you keep track of the lies?
Do you revel in your own craftiness?
As good faith slowly dies, so subtle in its own demise
The beauty melts away and wretchedness presides...
You claimed that you wanted this,
But now that you’ve got it, what are you gonna do?
In the end you’ll have to stand
Without the cloak of the God-finger,
It will all be detached from you
Please awaken, ancient consciousness
Spin that compass back towards true
We’re hollowed out without your righteousness, oh yes
A course correction is overdue, lest the morning we may rue
The beauty melts away...
While the world burns up outside,
While the moralities collide
For it is such a shame
But who’s to blame for this wretched game?
If we only knew (if we only knew, only knew)
Love eternal, in the heart of someone true

Chapel Hill Road
03:52
|

LYRICS
Well, my son’s got a gun and he’s a pretty good shot
He’s a crazy son of a gun
But he’s the best that I’ve got left...
Now that you’ve gone and run down
My the younger child so cold
We’re now prepared for vengeance
This day on Chapel Hill Road
The wives’ are on the move in search of some remedy
And that just leaves you, your boy, my boy and me
And now I’ll guarantee that tonight something crucial unfolds
A germane reckoning we will bring to Chapel Hill Road
Well, folks they claim that I don’t think before I act
But that is outta whack
For I contend that they don’t comprehend
The complexities of my tact, and in fact...
The good book says “an eye for an eye”,
Well, we’ve got two for one and together you shall die
And let the judgment come
From the demon upon which you’ve been sold
There you can beg and you can plead
On the events of Chapel Hill Road
Some will claim that I’m irrational and trite, well not quite
For I believe that I will set everything just right
And it’s right that...
It says “eye for an eye" but nothing on “two for one”
So I’ll inter you secretly up in the woods next to your son
And disregard the irony
Once my lad’s healed and returned to the fold
It’ll be the latest saga in the legend of Chapel Hill Road
Just the latest saga in the legend of Chapel Hill Road
Oh, you should’ve driven a different road

The Optimist Speaks
05:35
|
|||
LYRICS
Faster and faster she strives to be
The predominate savior of the village
She burned down her own castle, depriving me
Of my insatiable desire to pillage
To take what I want, to shatter détente
To chase after everything brought forth by anything gold
But deep in the night, I'll search for light,
‘Til I can see nothing but blue skies
The optimist speaks of traversing peaks
And vantage points of endless blue sky
Lining her shield with indifference
So stoned and heartbroken from the strife
Cherishing the customs while scoffing at the trends
Has found her alone, so alone in her life
Do you know who I am? Can you repeat my plan?
Just to live for the pleasure of living another day
And deep in the core, there’s an unlocked door
Which opens to infinite blue sky
The perfect retreat from bearing defeat
Now I can see nothing but blue skies above
The balance between good faith and self-betterment
Has crowded the halls of my thoughts
Can one ever be honored in the present tense
When a fortune and a throne he has not?
We scooped him up and we filled up his cup
And absorbed all the meaningless drivel he’d speak
We waited for years hoping that he’d wake up
But the boy has been absent for weeks and weeks and weeks
Words in the air, flying above your hair
Words from the depths of despair
Words are like airplanes flying above the head
Never to be considered before you are dead
Believe me when I’m dead
Listen to the words been said (in your head)
Believe me when I’m dead
Listen to the words been said (in your head)
Believe me when I’m dead
Listen to the words been said (in your head)
In your head
To my right there’s a garden brimming with hope
To my left there’s a vagabond, whispering somber songs,
Telling me there is no use in me trying to cope
Yet still I go on

Love Song

LYRICS
Give it room to find its way
The bigger picture is never clear on the first day
Enjoy the moments for what they are
There’s just upside in trying to stretch it out too far
The shooting star only lasts a few seconds
When observed from the ground
But this world, it remains round
There’s so much here to be found
I see you yes, I know you, want to show you
That love will find you wherever you are
I hear you because I’m near you, my eyes are clear for you
And love will find you wherever you are
Give it breath, then let it breathe
There is no use in being trapped there underneath
Take the moments as they arrive
There’s much elation just to keep this thing alive
The constellation remains for all our days
Far beyond some novel craze, a whole lifetime to amaze
I see you yes, I know you, long to show you
That love will find you wherever you are
I hear you, always near you, won’t disappear from you
And love will find you wherever you are
Oh, wherever you are
Boundless hope on the horizon, be it near or be it far
Oh, as we steer by the stars
Immense love will recognize you there where you are
Right there where you are, do do do do, do, do, oh
I see you, yes, I know you, sure can show you love

That Moment
03:46
|

LYRICS
She is there right now at the fountainhead,
The inception, the alpha
A place where we all once knew,
A state that we've all been through
A celebrated infancy, some long awaited joviality
The world's new successful turn, a fascination to discern as
We’re getting older now, but in some ways it's not so bad
Some better days are yet to be had
Neoteric chapter, I’ll be so glad to...
See you someday, to carry you through the maze
And to philosophize on the ways of the force
To live for that moment of truth throughout your flourishing youth
To seize the day while propelling its course
John the Baptist leaped with joy
At first acquaintance with the sacred boy
Somehow he just knew and...
It wasn’t just some magical thing
It was momentousness beyond our understanding
For we’re still within our infancy
When it comes to that proficiency though...
We’re getting older now, but in some ways it’s a graceful gain
A convention of the preordained
Neoteric reigns and I’ll ascertain to
See you someday, be elevated above the haze
Live in harmony with the ways of the force
Fulfill that moment of truth with a reawakened youth
Seize the day by fulfilling it’s course
I know it’s such a leap of faith
But we will be here again someday,
I know things are arranged that way
Just need keep the faith

I'm Your Man
02:50
|
|||
LYRICS
Like the noose around your neck
All circumspect, with constant disrespect
Expect no less from me for I’m your man
Like the mask upon your nose that does impose
In measured spurts it grows
‘Til no air blows, you know that I’m your man
Like a festive fighter crestin’ with a zest to be the very best
I’ll refuse to let it rest until I’m your man
We could rapidly restore the ranch
Prepare for the next avalanche
We may not get another chance
To live above the florid line, indulge several concubine
Lean up against the Maginot line and wine and dine
It’s all up to you
Like a sovereign royal gliding above the soil
Demanding all be loyal
I refuse to let it spoil ’cause I’m your man
Like a leching lush who’s color is all flush
From hearing too much Rush
Forget your latest crush, for I’m your man
Like a broken beam of light within a dream
All filled with silver steam
Things are weirder than they seem but I’m your man
Just a candy colored curl
A forsaken girl who makes a sudden twirl
You’d better recognize the peril that is your man
Yeah, you’d better recon with who I am
Expeditiously, we’ll build our hall
And guard against the inevitable fall
We may not get a second call
To live and breathe in air that’s free
Among authentic company
Avoiding the next calamity
What’s to be? Well, that’s all up to you

Just 15 Days
03:01
|
|||
LYRICS
A March Monday morning
When it suddenly got diminished
Commonplace was finished
Hysteria comes around
The world capricious with these uncertain times
Arbitrary crimes unless you hunker down
For 15 days, just 15 days
So suddenly they proclaimed
That the people are poison
We have got to avoid them
They’ll surely bring you down
And any inquiring can be the equivalent to killing
An impulse that needs chilling,
The thoughts that you must drown
For 15 days, just 15 days
We’ve assumed control
Will classify those who revolt
As deplorable, sinister based
Opportunities to be seized
And autocratic desires to be pleased
Never let a good crisis go to waste
Oh, just shut up and obey

Human Song
03:00
|
|||
LYRICS
On the rock side of the roll
Motivated by something that cannot be controlled
It’s human nature
If we lose our humanity, discharge our goodwill
Will we ever satisfy our vanity, ever truly be fulfilled?
Or salvage our starship on a course to paradise?
Oh, it’s like looking for a diamond in a river full of ice
It’s luminous, luminous as gold
It innervates beyond control
It’s just human nature
Crazy as this picture, we will not give it up now
We will grab that square-ish fixture
And make it round somehow
But if we lose our capacity
For a reason and for commonsense
Will we ever regain the audacity,,,
To confront that which is bent?
Beyond our control, that beyond our control
Is it in our nature? Our human nature?

Cassandra
05:07
|
|||
LYRICS
Cleanse your ears and hear the future
And tell the world the bitter truth
The second most beautiful woman in the universe
Was drenched in madness
Through the odyssey of her youth
Cry in vain while no one will choose to hear you,
Character stained and no one will congregate near you
Cassandra will they ever see the light?
An endless, agonized frustration
Of knowing “x” but observing “y”
Wouldn’t life have been much easier if you had only just
If you had just learned how to lie
The sky is falling but none will believe you
Night is calling and one dissolves without you
Cassandra, will this be that fateful night?
I believe that springtime will start earlier this year
And if I assume as much, will I resume my touch to…
Navigate my ship through rock infested waters?
Guided by ancient stars,
The world in which we are looks quite the same
So much the same…
I declare that wintertime is over now
Ten days earlier than it was ever supposed to be
Or was it meant to be?
Revealed as riddles and vague, disjointed statements
Cast in the middle of rain for the gods’ entertainment
The world is crumbling to dust but no one believes you
Your peers have withdrawn their trust
And will no longer receive you
Cassandra, will we ever get this right?

Old Dogs
02:54
|
|||
LYRICS
Sometimes we must love twice as much
Just to see half the love get through
Sometimes we must climb twice as high
Just to get ourselves an appropriate view
Sometimes we’ll cover twice the distance
Just to bring it all back home
Yet sometimes we still find ourselves all alone
Sometimes we need to learn twice as much
Just to articulate one simple fact
Sometimes we’ve got to swing twice as hard
Just to prove that we are willing to act
Then sometimes we must retreat twice as far
Just to avoid the latest fight
‘Cause sometimes we need everything to be alright. Right
Old dogs still maintain all the wisdom
Still retain all the soul
From a much greater distance although, oh
Sometimes we will cry twice the tears
Just to prove that our heart is for real
And sometimes we’ll experience twice the fears
Just to prove we are not made of steel
Sometimes we need to pray twice the prayers
Just to get through the dark night
For sometimes we just must question wrong from right, right?
‘Til sometime when everything is alright, right?
But sometimes…

Rebel Rebel
03:45
|

Heavy rain on the mountain
Causes strain on the fountain of joy
But she abstains from the shoutin’
Notwithstanding how much this is getting her annoyed
Is she a bona fide cosmic rebel or the devil herself?
Graceful glide, an oasis of blue style
Within a desert of green
She is a mighty potent mixture of genteel taste
With just a tiny dash of the obscene
As she spots the bright gold beacon directly up ahead
Does she contemplate just what it is?
Perhaps a calling to the faithful
Or an indication that we may be grateful
After we’re dead
Weird blue beards must accompany
The endeared wherever they go
Each one trotting with a sense of marauding
Never looking to or fro
As she walks with her eyes held up high
And the sun glowing off of her teeth
Any chance that she’s the genuine article?
Or some creature that’s deceitful
Set to conjure up all the evil
From down underneath
I know basic algebra so I think that I can calculate
The dilemma laid out underneath these trees
Yes, I know all of the critical theories
So I’m allotted certain fires and furies
As I can judge you long before
You and I even meet, yes that’s my expertise
Is she our legitimate heroine?
Or have we all been fooled again?
Go and launch an investigation
And return with some information
But will you follow through? (I’m on it)
Will you follow though? (yes, I’m on it)
Please follow though! (I’m on it)

Freedom Song
04:37
|
|||
Let the people be free, let the people be free
Let them bend no more knees
Let them crow out no pleas, nor quell, nor appease
Let them build their own homes
Let them roll their own stones
Let the people be free
Take me to the Heaven
Take me where I need to go
To the optimal place where the tyranny never prospers
Nor does it ever get to hide within the pleasure trolls
As the truth does flow
And the people are free
All the people are free
Whether they rock or they breed
Whether they talk or they screed
Let them feed their own needs
They can decide on their own
How to set their own tone
Let the people be free
Words can’t harm a balanced person
It’s kinetic deeds that’ll break her bones
Self-determination is inalienable, for sure
And it cannot be surrendered to the clones
Nor the unmanned drones
When the people are free
All the people are free
Whether they draw from the seas
Or they sail on the breeze, or they talk with the trees
Let the world be their zone
To construct their own throne
Just to spring up from the bottom
And rise as high as my wings will tread the air
If I conduct an honest expedition
Why should the “overlords” even care?
If I don’t disrupt another person’s fare?
I will build my own home
I will roll my own stone
And I shall be free
