Feel Me 03:37
Your mind goes As I lay you on the floor Cross the line? No You see, there's no place we can't go As you feel me As you feel me On a side note I couldn't love your body more Move your tongue slow You've got my mind, body, and soul As you feel me When you feel me If you feel me You make me feel like I'm in love a- You make me feel like I'm in love again Under the street lights Burning rubber One look from your eyes And I'm lost in the wind Oh darling baby baby baby I want you, I need you oh just you baby baby baby Can't wrap my head round you My Sexy lady lady lady What of it, don't you love it? I want you baby baby baby Come feel me, fulfill me Deep down inside, I know you want me Love So Don't run and Hide Or I will find you Dove

To the moon I say, we Sail away Afraid to go, I strayed, but already was lost A whim, gone Gone again Afraid to know What's set in stone's that crumble Come back baby Why did you go You'd light my flame back there As I dove inside your hair Well Someday baby you're gonna know You dressed up shame back there cell phone calling off who cares Run away Fight and stay I blame myself And no one else For what I've done or did when I was only a kid I save myself with everybody's help Do I wait for nothing at all the darkest candle glare smoke breath billows in the air Sun drenched battered Saturn's ladle We sipped electric spoons huffed jars of Jupiter's orange fumes And now the moon is coming Crashing down All your insides hit the floor You stop and think how beautiful Like a dream ahead, now born instead I've been inside you Moon blood drips down painted pours Hand Held Heathens hold the door signs and fields you postulate On what's inside you Off lifts red Canary Crows Carved up cardboard cover blown crawl through fields of bones blue symphonic tones I've been inside you You lick the wounds of lepers who'll be gone so soon the power flowing from the Crescent moon Luna knew To paint clear light You must ignite The sphere that guides The light Tears turn to steam As my soul wept inside the cold cause we're alive today but someday Babe I won't be Coming around to see What wasn't allowed for me

Unweaving 04:57
Hold your feelings as they dangle Above a volcano Start unweaving all their rainbows And parliamentary bull They hold you closely They're never gonna let you go They hold you closely I promise they're never gonna let you go As they're mailing off their missiles Every single day Turning concrete from a symbol of what's beyond the grave off with the wind's blow All the sailor's decided to go Safe as a rowboat Caught in a storm Top of triangle Made you think what you've got you don't got then stole from your pocket and Sold back your watch They'll cut you up to pieces If they think you're acting wrong they'll kill in your sleep cause No Sean Hoare is gonna sing They're song Why don’t you sing with me Eat the Apple in the Tree
4.
I Want I 04:18
My fear takes hold As I stare out safe Far from the city as it smokes My feet my road My God I'm scarred I want to stay I want to go I want out I want I Stars guide us on they slowly flicker in and out until they're gone Like rain ash falls And Covers us All I want to stay I want to go I want I Out I want I I changed my mind as it heads my way I wanna stay I wanna go I want Out I want I You are my people and I don't even know you But I had to be sure my loves The river pond chief he said we've found our new warrior Now let's arm him and shield him up, He Said you better be ready son
5.
Super Plated 05:09
Caught inside The carbonite your froze Stacked a million miles in a row And the more those fuckers had the more those fuckers stole from the super plated rusty cage that's rot Into the dark your thrown a black hole where nothing leaves at all Not light not sound, Forever Lost In the shadow Until your heads cut off you can't grab it as it rolls They've got the guillotine turned on and the line looks long the voice comes from a rabbit 9 feet tall, it says Realities not what you see at all If freedom's what you want you have to fall The solar lights the lunar in us all And where I wanna walk, I'm gonna walk The politicians mouths foam as they talk, and The fascists came and built upon the rock of the super plated rusty cage that's rot They’ve Got Haunted Eyes Can you believe it when lose your hold Of what you're holding but you think that you're still holding as you're gripping oh so slowly it's so crazy Yeah it's so rough As I walk myself through the desert As I write your name in the grain As I write your name in my name
6.
The person you are as a poet is not who you are as a lover Gentle vibrations that hover Around your waist Like a cork on a lake Under Indian earthquakes in Summer Shattered the hat trick that shuttered Even the bravest hunters Mademoiselle Was it too hard to tell? I had a dream That you were with me Fighting off demons Out of our sleep Oh, what could it mean? As it plays on repeat Are we meant to be? or was it just a dream The person you are as a poet Is not who you are as lover so I must go find another How long can I wait for The chains you won't break Did they teach you that love is to fear? As your staring right in the mirror the person you are disappears Your maximum stays got you counting the days I had a dream that you were with me fighting off demons out of our sleep Oh, what could it mean? As it plays on repeat Are we meant to be? or was it just a dream I'm Caught in a whirlwind our blew Deep at night I tell the whole World that I love you It’s only right To sing every day to be near you What was it you said about love that it shouldn't be said, well its said now And I do The person you are as a poet Is not who you are as a lover You forgot your guard/God for a moment Now you're hiding away locked up tight as a safe While the Fire Flies flare by the compost Spelling out Letters To come Home They Say Don't waste today for tomorrow With no steps to trace Don't you see what's at as stake The sound that you made as I entered When I Kissed your soul at the center Deep in the harshest of winters Counting the days til I'm touching your face Like a hummingbird lost in the flutter Telling the tide to go under Shot it so didn't suffer served on a plate you unconsciously ate The person you are a poet Is not who you are as a lover Searching so hard for the right Words So much to say, Darling don't run away

We're gonna light this world on fire we're gonna tear the bridges off We're gonna trail them to their Hideouts til every one of them is gone Light a match and burn em right up fuel the flames as they go higher You've got some Nerve crawling back Wrong move Now I've got you In a body bag We're gonna light this world on fire We'll start with one then take the others We wrote the book to take control Well turn the honest into liars We'll kill your brazen and your bold And you You've got some Nerve crawing back wrong move Now I've got you in a body bog We're gonna set this world on fire I touch your frame and the fire's burning I hear the cracking as the thunder starts to roar Forgot your name but Who cares when coming? Could be our last chance won't you open up your door And I don't know what You're so excited for These bombs and planes Are not the coming of the lord When did you lose touch with who you're fighting for? I don't want to wait a minute more Baby grab my hand don't let it go Looking off the ledge I pull you close Baby better stand back as it blows Calling out As you feel me going deeper now As you feel my grip get tighter round They’ll zip your lips so use them now I've got so many things to tell you Won't you look in my eyes Feel me pulsing inside As a river of rain pours on you Smell the black burning skies As you wait for your signs Heard the silence of screams that bore you With your bright blinking lights, look away you just might Hear god's radio tuning to you Did it come as surprise as your death came alive

We struggle as the sadists steal the sound of our town Feels like all the mosters were let out, set free somehow, freed somehow Well we’re not gonna take what’s going round Not lying down Not lying Down So Baby grab your guns and load them now, we’re headin’ out And I I am going to die We are going to die But Baby not Tonight More and more each moment I can tell I've got you under my spell, under my spell Gargoyles fall sky scrapers sent to hell Was it worth it to sell Was it worth it to Sell And I I am going to die and you are going to die but baby not tonight Fade out I've lost my head, I want you now Yesterday's dead, come taste the now Tomorrow's waiting somewhere else Faint howl The universe within a cell You choose the grail or the crown Open the gates and let them feel the crowd You choose the grail or the crown

Organism 06:31
Oh I control the organism I do on my own I decide what's right and I decide what's wrong and I won't take your forever no I'll find mine on my own Well these things predate the dinosaurs it's here and never gone and I know it's not black and I know it's not white I know it's not in or out out North or south I Know I know there’s more than only two sides And its not to the left And its not to the right Isn't Felt heard or seen Do know what I mean isn't his or mine Who are you? I won't cross you my head fortress If I let my feelings rust I Said I didn't meant to hurt you well I did just not that much Well I’ll Blink the eye in pyramid Drink the spearmint from my blood I’llBreach bomb bay beside you pick the wicked orchid up Watched the floors as you fell Your descent into Stabbed the back of yourself For a penny a thrill til your tongue couldn't tell Well that's hell At least to me that's hell Hell is being who you're not Trying to give up all you got to sell Who are you? Richard Dawkins don't know Deepok Chopra don't know Pee wee Herman don't know Harry Potter Don't know I say Nobody knows Spicoli don't know Eric Bana don't know Dennis rodman don't know Doctor jones he don't know I say nobody knows The ayatollah don't know Oh the pope he don't know At the top of the poll Don't believe when you're told What you know just ain't so Because nobody knows Where we go when we go It’s a place we must go Nobody until we go /until then/right no nobody knows / but now nobody knows I say nobody knows I say nobody knows They don’t know They don’t know They ain’t been there before I don’t know What's a sad story without a sad song What’s a victory without an anthem You're the magician who makes the grass green You are the vision that sees what you see

Hey oh Did her love for me frail? My god I've gone AWOL Need to say all I can say While I'm still able Will my love her stay whole Or start drifting away slow Well who’s to say so? Come what may, oh Well how does that prayer go? Tell me how does that prayer go? Your love struck me a new hole Stung by Hermes lost arrow Who shot it from where though? Who knows, this is age old Been since Plato Turned to play-doh We're still catching his cave's cold my god I got angels crossed with devils oh what rebels oh how does that prayer go Tell me how does that prayer go? And I hope that I'll be there with you my love throwing back a beer as we watch the flood for when the end is coming I want your love and nothing else will matter as the skies cloud up And we'll be making love as the earth turns black We stare into our eyes 'cause we can't look back Baby this is it, only minutes left The love I have for you it completes my death Now my eyes won't close while what gave us life is broke This is not what we meant by hope Space was close Now no astronauts can go Our Priorities always low Take hold Our particles stay close once touched they remain pulled Like in some cosmic play full of sinners and saints told from all different angels Like a Salvador brush stroke the square lights your whole soul It’s what's caught in the slowmo That’s bringing you home though So how did that prayer go I hear your engine revving laughing the whole way home I want my walls in heaven I'd like to be left alone Fuck all your pushin and shoving I’m never letting it go All of the pretty women I'll miss Them most of all All that pain is at our fingertips Pull you close kiss your apocalypse Finally we can bring an end to this baby Fuck me now and let's start this crazy trip The whole iceberg baby not just the tip Discreet or in the streets It’s all the same to me baby Cause you’ve got it all You've got it all like a rock you stand tall as it sears off your flesh into gardens of trash Feel it melt off your bones Watch it meld with the stones Powder fills your nose every hole baby You gotta to crawl crawl crawl on the floor until you can't keep crawling no more You see a flash of all you adored, as it takes you Even though you're born to survive no matter what choice you're gonna di you can crawl crawl all you like it will find you I've got something on my mind I want you to be my bride Hey Little darling won't you step inside can I help you put your hands up on the line if you didn't steal you'll be fine / then you'll be fine you better hope, hope, that we don't find anything baby / Hope babe that we don't find what can kill you
