20 Years From Now

Bright eyes wander the city night sky
Sirens singing on every corner
Oh tell me where will we be in 20 years from now?
Shadows move like a meditation
Guilty conscience under the street lights
We could be somewhere very far away
Instead we're stuck here in side of this infinite loop
Daydream our way out from this corner
Maybe chaos will teach me how to relax
While we're stuck here inside of this infinite loop
Where will we be in 20 years from now?
Replace human with alpha system
Maybe chaos will teach me how to relax
While we're stuck here inside of this infinite loop
Where will we be in 20 years from now?

Greater Than a God

Last night I dreamt that I was a child
And I was blind
To the cruelty that I find all the way out here
An angel unaware of the big let down
Just give it time
The wreckages I’ll find on my way out here
And if you fear this
Then you’re right here with me
Cause it’s in darkness
That we will begin to see
Our power is greater than a god
So don’t give it up to no one for nothing no
I was mean and I was sure of myself
Invincible in youth
An Achilles heel came with truth
But you know that’s life
By the time I made it here I was insecure
And trying to get a life
Praying lighting would strike me twice
Take me to the light
And if you fear this
Then you’re right here with me
Cause it’s in darkness
That we will begin to see
Our power is greater than a god
So don’t give it up to no one for nothing no
If the nights alright with someone
The nights alright with me

Who are you?
I have no clue
The glass is dark
I can’t see through
A bitter shade of blue awaits
Those who pause to contemplate
Who am I
Depends on you
The words we use will make us true
The fountain fades from memory
Magnetic fields take over me
We echoed out from nothing
We crawled out from the sand
We claimed a world that we don’t understand
Who are we?
The angels sing
The dogma does the worshipping
The fountain fades from memory
Magnetic fields take over me
We echoed out from nothing
We crawled out from the sand
We claimed a world that we don’t understand
Who are they?
Our enemy
The masters of identity
A bitter shade of blue awaits
Those who pause to contemplate

Lost In America

I could use a little company
I’m so sick of myself
Everything has my reflection in it
Have I been here before
Cause once you are
Lost in America
No one’s gonna find you
A remedy for a spiritual void
Whatever that means to you
A shangri-la for the discontent
It’s either death or fame
Cause now you are
Lost in America
No one’s gonna find you
It always feels so good
Just like it’s supposed to
When you’re lost in a dream
With nowhere you can turn to
Freedom in the ether
Devil right behind you
Serve a god no greater than self
So you can be anything you want
Bored to death because of where you were born
Now you’ve got the blues
Cause you are
Lost in America
No one’s gonna find you
It always feels so good
Just like it’s supposed to
When you’re lost in a dream
With nowhere you can turn to
Freedom in the ether
Devil right behind you
Lost in America
No one’s gonna find you
Lost in America
No one’s gonna find you
You are lost in America
No one’s gonna find you
You are lost in America
No ones gonna find you

An echo
Tears through silence
And cracks up behind us
To bring us violence
And remind us
Of our insignificance
And every star we spin around
We burn it down
Since ancient times
A list of crimes
We’ve left behind
If you feel like the world is ending
Just think how the world’s been ending
Everywhere else for so long
Ending somewhere else forever
Everything will one day kill you
And a little bit of everything
Oh a little bit of everything is true
Time the raptor
A cast of jokers
Will step us closer
To the edge a razor
The arc of the eraser
The chance of heaven keeps you sane
Opinions like gospel
Where everyone could be free
And everyone is godly
If you feel like the world is ending
Just think how the world’s been ending
Everywhere else for so long
Ending somewhere else forever
Everything will one day kill you
And a little bit of everything
Oh a little bit of everything is true

When you’re with me you get lonesome darling you do
Just so happens I was born to be lonesome too
When we’re together we go nowhere baby
That’s alright cause there’s nowhere that we’d rather be

Far out over the ocean there was starlight
That brought them too near
Now there are new gods in paradise
And the old ways they live on in the songs of revolution
While all the libertines are praising Jesus in the heartland
Do you do it for pain?
Do you do it for pleasure?
Do you do it for fame?
Will you do it forever?
Would you stick a needle in the eye of love?
Congratulations, you’re the cream that’s turning sour
In the sunshine that never sets upon the empire
While all these sick freaks who seem to lack a sense of humor
Are making violence just so they can sell us freedom
Do you do it for pain?
Do you do it for pleasure?
Do you do it for fame?
Will you do it forever?
Would you stick a needle in the eye of love?

Western Reflections

I must confess
I used to live in LA
Oh people would say
That I was gonna change
Well look at me now I say
No matter how hard I try
He always wins
I can’t resist myself
Satan was an angel too
Irresistible in blue
Oh this mirror never lies
The ultimate disguise
Just look at me now I say
No matter how hard I try
He always wins
I can’t resist myself
Go out west to find your god
And then destroy yourself with pleasure
A revelation
A new religion
Your own reflection forever
But all you feel is pain cause nothing matters anyway
No matter how hard I try
He always wins
I can’t resist myself

What were you feeling
When you saw the levels collide
Melt in between us
And give us a glimpse of the lie
There’s no going back
There’s no going back
Thats a funny way
To say you’re a liar
To capture our desire
To set the world on fire
It’s not in the shadows
And it’s not a wolf at the door
It’s melting between us
You’ve touched it
You’ve felt it before
There’s no going back
There’s no going back
Once you taste the fruit
That stems from wicked roots
And you’ve heard the words enough
You’ll believe in wicked stuff
