Maybe There's a Reason

Time is wasted with energy
and no one can stop them from passing
I've had this feeling for a while,
and for me it's the only thing that is
Everlasting
Maybe There's a Reason
Maybe not, it's just a thought
Maybe There's a Reason.....

Now that you're free, go on out and breath in some Fresh Air
Don't just sit there, get up cease the day, take on every battle and challenge that comes your way. Open wide your eyes, experience life chase down that dream. Don't be afraid or listen to those who say it's a joke or waste of time. They just want to see you fail and live in despair but....
Now you're free, go out and breath some Fresh Air
The world is full of endless opportunities and possibilities, don't be restrained by limitations, shatter the glass ceiling that keeps so many from attaining what ever it is that they aspire for. Believe in the power of soul and free will realize the beauty of human potential, follow your heart it's never to late because you're free....

I have the power of the sun
Clean water and seeds
Mother Earth and everything I need
To thrive and survive
But I Know.....
I still have a lot more to learn
Like Learning to Grow
Learning to love
Learning to live
Learning to Grow
Learning to give
Learning to Grow

I hear the Buzzing of the Bee Hive Mind
Of the Bee Hive Mind Misbehaving, out of line
In the Bee Hive Mind, Swarming Behind
That Crazy Look In Your Eyes

Why No Tomorrow
01:19
|

I just wanna know if it's true
What they're telling me about you
It happened to you once again
Left there hanging without a friend
You can pull-though it we say
But you tell us there aint no way
Now I wonder what I can do
To help you see it through to another day
So many tears have been shed while you were hanging there, wishing you were dead
Your brother cut you down and said he probably should have freed you from the pain
Chained to another day
I came to visit you
In your hospital bed
I saw you laying there and said
What's wrong with you?
What can I do? To help you pull through?
Chained to the pain you stay, and make it through to another day
Tell me my friend is it true?
Out of the black and into the blue
A rock and roll suicide.....
Buy the ticket, take the ride away, to another day

Happiness
02:39
|
|||
To walk the middle path and be content
aware that there are many things
Hidden that happen and can't be perceived
When the problems seem to hard to handle
Impossible to deal with or forget
Frustrated caught up in the struggle
Waiting for death to set us free
We kill ourselves for Happiness
A moment of empty bliss
To fill those deep and frightening holes
With a quick and easy temporary fix
We trade our skin for Happiness
And end up hating what we get
When it doesn't feel just like it should but only brings
Regret
Limited by fortified walls
Stuck in between two extremes
A whirlwind storm of scattered emotion
Blows so fast and knocks you down
Reduced into a bloody mess
It hurts so much you can't believe
The piercing pain and misery
Abandon all hope and start to slowly drown
We kill ourselves for Happiness
A moment of empty bliss
To fill those deep and frightening holes
With a quick and easy temporary fix
We trade our skin for Happiness
And end up hating what we get
When it doesn't feel just like it should but only brings
Regret
Unsatisfied after you receive
The object you were longing for
Has now become the enemy
Obsessed with broken relationships
Trained to accept the insanity
Engrained in personalities
Inherited genetically

Wound Up Too Tight
02:30
|

Wound Up Too Tight Suspended in a perpetual sling shot, pulling back but the elastic bands can't snap they only stretch out further and I'm the one that will not let it stop The potential for disaster builds up weakened by an eroded lack of faith scenes are unraveling and scrambled then I start to act like a wild animal
Wound Up Too Tight
Impulsive vices character flaws, compacted radio active waste, fractured brittle and broken bones I have nothing to push or guide me. Don't want any one to think I'm trying to be a stubborn, arrogant jerk but now and then I slip and stumble when there's so many things at stake
and on the line.
Wound Up Too Tight
My eyes can't rest and stomach turns, on my last nerve and leg one foot on the ground the other in the grave, with a way ward mind and idle hands.
You have always been here for me for that I can't convey how grateful I am because most people take one look at me and run the other way

Just Because
02:35
|
|||
Tell me what makes you think that it's okay.
To treat other people like trash everyday.
Is there something I don't know that I should?
There's no way that kind of attitude is useful or good.
Just Because you have a job and a lot of money,
doesn't mean you're any smarter or better than me.
Just Because you own a home and I pay the rent
doesn't mean you have the right to treat me like shit.
Just Because you stack a lot of cash,
doesn't give you the right to be an ass.
When someone asks for some spare change,
you scoff than turn and walk away, Just Because.
Now you got the whole Bible/Koran memorized.
And you try to tell me I'm in for a big surprise.
If I don't believe the lies you sell,
Well than I guess I'm fucked and I'm going to hell.
Just Because you're so convinced that I'm wrong and you're right.
You try terrorizing me into seeing the light.
Just because you believe in God doesn't mean that I don't
I just don't want you bragging about how you saved another soul.
Just Because you got the whole thing backwards and upside down,
It's not about peace and charity just intimidation and brainwashing, Just Because.
Now you're Vegan you don't drink or smoke.
Tell me is that some kind of joke?
Outside the show you look so cool and proud.
But when the bands are playing you stand in the back of the crowd.
Just Because it's impossible for you to have an open mind.
And listen to something different besides what you do all the time.
Just Because you are committed to your morals and ideas,
doesn't give you the right to spit on your peers.
Just Because it's so embarrassing, to violate the boundaries
that separate us from each other like the rest of society, Just Because

Infected Teeth
01:30
|
|||
I have some nasty, gnarly, rotten holes in my teeth.
that hurt like hell if I forget to brush for just one day.
For awhile I didn't pay much attention to personal hygiene.
it's hard to stay clean if you're a homeless human being
And I don't think I need any health care.
I need to see a fucking dentist
And probably have them all replaced with some
fake ones that won't hurt or give me any grief,
Will someone please pull out my Infected Teeth.
I started taking better care of myself when I was 25.
After I finally had a roof over my head, and a bed to sleep in.
But it was too late and I totally sealed my own fate,
Now the only thing that can kill this pain I'm feelin' is Ibuprofen and penicillin.
I don't need to see a doctor,
That would be cool but the hospitals don't have oral surgeons.
So if you have a dental emergency, it's not a medical issue.
Fuck you and your Infected teeth.

Fading In The Distance
02:50
|
|||
Leaving me oblivious to pain
My skin is thicker resistant to any form of storm or seasonal change
I like sleeping in the bed I made and cleaning up my room everyday
Watching planets in transit far away
Having new things come and old things fade
Fading in the distance draining your existence
Distracted only acting out of Fear
And now I know I spoke to soon
And now I know as I see you

Keys To The Kingdom
01:56

Standing at the gates, Your eternal resting place
Wondering how to get inside
We are given the Keys to the kingdom but
We throw them away
Waiting at the gates, of a Paradise Place
Wondering why you're not inside
