Lighthouse

I died in a dungeon dark and damp and all
After the sight was taken from my head
So typical of my family
I've gone crazy here
Slowly but surely the light came back
He brought me drawings that could free me
Came I to a lighthouse and a hermit's life
My glory yet before me
I left on a stormy day into the sea
A rickshaw vessel beneath my feet
My will was to make small changes in the scenery
I command my surroundings
I went in search of my fair Avalon
My mind's eye hazy but mine eyes could see
The pieces falling in familiarity
I remember her
I see it in their faces but I'm not the man they remember
Time has changed me, I can't explain it
It's written in their gazes, they know the beast that lurks underneath
So afraid they try to hide it from me but I will not abandon this post willingly
I lead me an army out onto the black road
I fought the demons up unto their gate
Came I to the goat-head man, he cackled gleefully
Said I created him

Robber Barons

We aren't all just sheep in need of saving
Some are lost and others are wandering, grazing
Once we've had our fill of the local fauna
Onward plodding, never done
The markets are failing, their pensions deflating
The American daydream a phantom in white weave
And all the while barons are hoarding their money
Slowly raising buildings to the sky
People, there're so many people
You forgot that in numbers they hold the power
I can hear their voices drowning your laughter
And slowly, steadily they'll pull you
Downward into the mud maw
Your prophets were golden and now they're all lead weight
I can see the suits riding subways with addicts
The difference indiscernible to me

Circles and Pyramids

We should've paid attention to the weirdest light in the monochrome places
If only you found the right brain you could start all again, you'd do better next time around
The second you make the wrong move they can do anything, it's a curious standard
We could've stopped hours ago now we're causing this emotion, why all this commotion now?
On the way to the sound I fuck it up all the time
We could rely on our basest fears to make us smarter than them to make us brilliant someday
Tell them what they don't want to hear, yeah the people are broken the church is all broken now
Now I see it in a different light
Hit me with the changes
Help me rearrange the white noise
Can you fake it?
Consequences keep us at a standstill
Now I see it in a different light
Hit me with the changes
Help me rearrange the white noise
Can you fake it?
Consequences keep us at a standstill
Take what you can carry leave the lights on
It's alright, it's alright

Across the Boroughs
04:12
|

Well the useful parts are all silent
It's hard to imagine it
If you wait too long then they'll be gone, cold feet
Will make you afraid of it
I want to see their minds blown with tribal sounds
All across the boroughs
By a teacher who can pacify, oh every
Mother's son and daughter
To plant a seed
For a new world order
With no resentment I will
I will follow your lead as long
As you lead me to water
Then you and I'll be free in our
Noisy smoke filled rooms
To pursue our
Need for a new word
Ever reaching upward

Old Demeter

Old Demeter, she's got a fever
Her last lover planted the seed
She's been smoking since 1750
Slowly rotting from in her belly
Oden's bleeding, slowly receding
But there's no time to be creating
Hordes roam free regardless of slaughter
Holy God they're after my daughter
Oh you can slow the motion but you can't turn around
Oh every time you think you see it, it's gone
Holy rollers, they took us over
Driving us all into the water
Holy shit I think we're devolving
Oh you can slow the motion but you can't turn around
Oh every time you think you see it, it's gone

Clenched Teeth

His tiny features make me remember
Just what's at stake here and what I shouldn't say
Time has made us so damn mean
We speak to each other through clenched teeth
And building up to the venom
Of every day conversation
I'll be a pillar
I'll try to steady
Lay it all onto me
My reaction will be the
Greatest play I ever made
You're so graceful now that you're a mother
We aren't the same kids who fell in love
Why's it surprising that our hearts evolved
You pronounce it like a bad taste
It's unkind but at the same time
If you belong to yourself
What do you owe to anyone else
I'll be a pillar
I'll try to steady
Lay it all onto me
My reaction will be the
Greatest play I ever made
You're so graceful now that you're a mother

Same Old Totem
03:59
|

|
Out in the streets there's people throwing shit around
Knocking statues to the ground, it's an ordinary day
Put on your bowler cap and drive your chevaline
Steal the wonderful machine that you made while you were sleeping
The molecular design documented in your mind
All the radios are on a different song
We have 50 microphones and still no one sings along
Recommend the kerosene, burn it slow to build the dream
I will lie, I will lie, I will lie so you're safe
I will think, I'll imagine a harrier jump jet to take us away from all this
Same old totem, same old totem
This is the same old totem, same old totem
It's not too obvious for prime time radiation
On that day, oh that day we can make up for that
When they breathe they can breathe all the noxious fumes
That we send out on our way

Lamppost Eyes

I'm on the ride, I'm making all the right calls
I'll see you Saturday
Familiar faces shining brightly into me
All the lamppost eyes
For me it's day to day
Always falling in the same way
As you did when we first met
Homesteading in the modern world
Big lawn and green life
Smiling faces streaming powers into me
Violet Rays
To me it's day to day
Always falling in the same way
As you did when we first met
You were full of life's ambitions
And now you're drained of them

Men of Good Fortune

Brace, brace for the harder times ahead, surprises later
Pull together, steel yourselves and run
Collar up against those bright lights shining
Tame, tame, tame your racing hearts and minds be still Morena
Half the time and space you travel in place
Fake, fake, fake it for the world arise my generation
Feel it for the third world nations, reel them into you
Bring their eyes oh Brahma Jesus resurrect us
Brahma Jesus resurrect us
Brahma Jesus resurrect us
Brahma Jesus resurrect us
Brahma Jesus resurrect us
