- Track Name: valentines day

i remember when, we used to live the simple life
now you're over it, and taking your sweet time
you're sleeping again, in your mind's eye
cause the Englishman, said valentine had it right
now you're over it, and taking your sweet time
(chorus)
here it is, valentine’s day
here it is, valentine’s day
here it is, valentine’s day
leave now, nothing to say
here on this, valentine’s day
valentines day
(chorus)
here it is, valentine’s day
so close, nothing to say
here on this, valentine’s day
leave now, valentines day
valentines day - Track Name: small
-
i want to shake you, love of my life
uncomplicate you, that part is right
trying to make you, into what's nice
breakdown and hate you, work of my life
i want to teach you, growth of your life
complexifications, causing you strife
running wont complete you, the works not light
the simplest things, who's wrong who's right
(chorus)
how can anyone save me
when I can't even save myself
i want to hate you, the dirt's so nice
unsophisticate you, just roll the dice
trying to change you, with no advice
breakdown and shape you, work of your life
(chorus)
how can anyone save me
when I can't even save myself
how can anyone save me
when I can't even save myself
i want to hate you, sunshine's gold light
unsophisticate you, earth's dark delight
trying to change you, sunshine's gold light
breakdown and shape you
(chorus)
how can anyone save me
when i can't even save myself
how can anyone save me
when i can't even save myself
how can anyone save me
when i can’t even
when i can’t even - Track Name: black and white
-
beyond the first pass
quarter through the day
you’ll see the rent
in the earth’s clay
feels so ancient here
their experience
fills my ears
our world is revealed
(chorus)
is it really so much safer here
when it’s it black and white
from a symbolic right
to a literal site
talking in tongues
we cannot taste
time is peppered
with thoughts embraced
antiquated experience
change is difficult
their dreaded fear
it’s so clear
(chorus)
is it really so much better here
when it’s it black and white
from a figurative right
to a literal site
why is this a mystery to me
even when my minds at ease
can i still forsake this dream
and welcome the adventure and break free
(chorus)
is it really so much safer here
when it’s black and white
is it really so much better here
when it’s black and white - Track Name: my sweet hell
-
once there had been a time
when all was well
is it time to wait
the choice is hell
my sweet hell
the pretense, of our fate
relies on, their steady state
affliction, of those who hate
the Crys say, “it’s getting late”
(chorus)
hey there, nice one
i’ll prepare, you run
hey there, nice one
i’ll work while you have fun
organization, calms adel’s face
determination, speeds apple’s gait
(chorus)
why don’t you see
you work so pointlessly
why don’t you see
madness comes for thee
(chorus) - Track Name: the ministry
-
(chorus)
our time is slowing in the dead of night
the crowd grows restless now to win this fight
until our ministry can get it right
we’ll just keep fighting ‘til we see the light
I am duty bound
a stranger, a stranger so it sounds
we tend the operation
and neglect our rounds
helping with the minutiae
gets them through the day
where is the big picture
and are we in the way
(chorus)
opposition to the plan
will no one make a stand
contemplate this heresy
grasping change may set you free
one by one the fear sets in
Thinking of their win
humanity, a declining art
or just the voice of a dying lark
(chorus) - Track Name: freedom
-
freedom
no time to waste, the sunshine
upon her face, the feeling
first time to stray
the stares
looks and turns away, nowhere
(chorus)
there was a moment, a moment in time
an age when everything was mine
once forgotten they had their chance
once forgotten in an instant's glance
speeding
rushing through the air,
the sunshine upon her hair,
it's easy to move away
complexity, seems at bay
seems at bay
(chorus)
(ending chorus)
there was a moment, a moment in time
an age when everything was mine
once forgotten they had their chance
once forgotten in an instant’s glance
searching waiting, for big news
staying here, seemed like a ruse - Track Name: the cell
-
hush, don't make a sound
before the glimmer begins to move around
hush, don't move an inch
'cause the glimmer, is about to switch
sleeping, the only way
damp murkiness surrounds, with nothing to say
crying, the only way
curling up to darkness, awaiting another day
hiding, the only way
from my friend's lashings, but having to stay
(chorus)
red glimmer, shine down on thee
up here, you seem so free
red glimmer, comes to call
down there, get ready to fall
oh let me sell this agonizing sign
past trepidation gave me so sense of time
i lay with my head and my smoldering gaze
grace stopped living in so many ways
(chorus)
it's getting late
there's no time to wait
yea, let me be
time is a limit, for we
It’s getting late
It’s getting late - Track Name: ord festival
-
ten thousand feel and sway
unaware, could be the day
you, no longer sleep my babe
old tricks, won't make you safe
(chorus)
time is slowing, and I'll tell you why
apple and adel, continue to fly
space is circling, and i'll tell you why
apple and adel, screech and cry
projections, don't see ahead
living here, our fear will end
(chorus)
hope, rain down on me
i've given all
as far as I see
see
(chorus)
space is circling, and i'll tell you why
apple and adel, sweep the sky - Track Name: orange and purple paradox
-
given one time of life, for thee
who or what, it's dreadfully
given one time of life, for me
who or what, it seems so free
the question once faced
becomes so clear
while the answer always
she kindles fear
i’m running away
when my other choice is to stay
when, the rain comes and clears the way
the direction disintegrates
(chorus)
love on the run
choose orange for fun
keep destiny at bay
purple's the way
i have too many choices
and too much to lose
what the spiders need
i can't give them
leaving my family
my soul just needs to run
too many directions
but onward for fun
(chorus)
given one time of life, for thee
who or what, it seems so free
given one time of life, for me
who or what, it makes me scream
(chorus) - Track Name: glass desert
-
a spider's dreaded feeling
crawling through the dank waste
breath burns out of me
without a slack in my haste
i feel I’m going insane
while the world smiles by
words keep lingering
she dies, she dies
i am losing myself
in this squandered place
while your delicate murmurings
conjure up our fate
i see the selection
inbred in this wild state
orange or purple
she dies, she dies
(chorus)
running through the glass desert
while you hear my mind talk
seeing my reflection
in the mirror of your thoughts
screaming to the mystery
of your eight-legged stalk
still wishing you're with me
it's only fair, it's only fair
I have turned wild, my child
from that serene look on your face
the mirage of your existence
and all you waste
black and white connection
i’m running to our place
tales of their premonition
she dies, she dies
(chorus)
