...Unless I Ride Again

I sure like you
Can I be your man?
Well I rode upon my horse for you
So I could take your hand
Cuz there ain't no one like you
Though I'm a man
There'll be no one like you
Unless I ride again
Miles and miles I rode
Withered by the wind
Burnt by the sunny sky
Beaten by the sand
Cuz I cant' stop this mangy heart
Not till the end
Will there be no one like you
Unless I ride again

Bit for bit, production of a new normal
And I won't fake it, no I won't fake it
A Classic face with a different mask put on it
And I just take it, yeah I just take it
Cuz I want this new reality to suspend my...
Disbelief, consistent reinvention
I can't give it, cuz I can't give it away
The stylistic inspiration, gimme!
I just live it, yeah I just live it
Cuz I want emotion
From this simple notion
New character motion
Claiming my devotion
It's time!
Eight directions, one speed, a single jump
Take my quarters
Climbing to the top, grab 'em one by one!
Develop this obsession with a new dimension
And I will make it, yeah I will make it...
To the top 5!
Button mashin', give it all my cash
Cuz I can't save it, no I can't save it
Cuz I want emotion
From this simple notion
New character motion
Claiming my devotion... my love!
It's time!
Eight directions, one speed, a single jump
Take my quarters
Climbing to the top, grab 'em one by one!
With a kick back, leveled up attack!
Drop another coin in the crack and smack!
I'm back!
Top of the rack!
Takin' it all, 8 bit hijack!
It's my time
It's my time
It's my time
Game over!
That's game!

It's One-nine-one-six!
I've reached the speed of light
And I'm nearing the abyss
I wanna know about the inside
Of this singularity
This voyage beyond an unending void
Hit the point of no return
Mission Control
I'm calling you
With looming uncertanty
Certainly I've been...
Swallowed by
Impossibility
Impossibly
Bent in the overdrive
Transmission
Shattered by the sea
It's shattering
What's on the other side?
On the other side
It's One-nine-one-six
The inevitible (Moving faster)
Maybe trapped inside the mass
My calculation: Almost invisible (I see nothing)
Infinitessimally small
This bending stretching
It's pulling us apart (Can't escape from)
Insurmountable blackness
Mission Control
I'm calling you (Do you read me?!)
With looming uncertainty
Certainly I've seen...
Time stopping
Beyond infinity
Infinitely
Bent in the overdrive
Flows changing
Constantly speeding
I cannot see
What's on the other side?
On the other side
It's One-nine-one-six
In the beginning (When we started)
Never had under control
Don't wanna know what's on the other side (Please don't tell me)
Bending and stretching the wave
Into the black void
It's pulling us apart (What can I do?)
We're past the point of no return
Mission Control
I'm calling you (Do you read me?!)
With looming uncertainty
Certainly I've been...

For All to See

I got my mind
I got my voice
I got my hearing
I got my sight
That's all I need
I don't need anything else
I got my pipe
I got my friends
I got my music
I got my drugs
That's all I need
I don't need anything else
My way I rock
My way I roll
My way I see
The only way I know
I got my mic
I got my amp
I got my car
I got my road
That's all I need
I don't need anything else
I got my dream
I got my light
I got my vision
I got my word
That's all I need
I don't need anything else
My way I rock
My way I roll
My way I see
The only way I Know
Even though I know
It's the only thing I know
I wonder where to go
I wonder where to go
Cuz everything I know
Is wrapped up in these clothes
And I don't know where to go
I don't know where to go
It's the only thing I know
It's the only thing I know
I wonder where to go
I wonder where to go
It's everything I know
It's everything I know
I wonder where to go
Cuz I don't know where to go

Spastic Woodpecker
04:10

He gazed upon the early morning, his eyes fixed on the prize
His brilliantly coordinated plan relied on size
The sun beat on his pileum as he fearlessly took flight
Upon the rocks a shadow cast his beauty and his might
Delusions of grandeur flowed up when from out of nowhere came
The ambush that blindsided him, yes his pride was all to blame
Plasticity won his body when they bent it out of shape
Spastic and disorderly insane was his escape
Unfazed and crazed he escalated and rose up to the top
On the way more challengers for they knew they couldn't stop
one by one he picked them off and the fallen he did mock
Victory had blinded him as the last came like a shock!
He gazed upon approaching evening his head hung in defeat
Moonlight danced on the horizon, the day was now complete
His worthy adversary stood like a king, all he could see
A pileated silhouette and expressions of it's glee
Tomorrow is a brand new day!

The Last Word

Last time we had spoken I had so many regrets
Now I sign this card to you to show cryptic intent
Maybe the photo on the front, results of all the action
Or maybe it's nothing, I can't tell you
Cuz I don't wanna give it all away
I thought you'd forget me
I thought that you had left it all behind
But now you won't forget me
Or the picture that I painted in your mind
A thousand words or maybe more revolve around your brain
But how can I expect to know your uncertainty will drive you insane
I thought you'd forget me
I thought that you had left it all behind
Left it all behind
But now you won't forget me
Or the picture that I painted in your...
Reckless night of taking
Beautiful things, making
And what has been given...
If the truth is living?
Call me when you break this silence
How many years will you sleep inside this?
More than 15 are left behind us
Try to push this all aside
Reckless night of taking
Beautiful things, making
And what has been given...
If the truth is living?
Leave you when you break this silence
Too many years have I slept inside this
More than 15 are left behind us
Try to push this all aside
Cuz there's nobody
Instead she lives inside my head
Given a child?
Yeah, maybe, no?
And what would I say if she showed?
I'm sorry for my part so long ago
Is there anything that you would like me to know?
Been a long time, I left it all behind

This Beautiful Life
06:09

Light through the clouds
She whispered to me
"It's what you want"
Softly and sweetly into my ear
She held all of the answers
Just out of reach
This controlling illusion
Dare I pretend?
Can't ignore this fire
When she took my hand
Blinded my eyes
Don't take it away and leave me fallen here
I hate it, my knees raw, emptiness burns deep
Silently stationed
In neon mirrors
All I can see
13 Billion light years of beauty
Called out my name
Then sat me down
And strapped me in
Dare I pretend?
Can't ignore this fire
When she took my hand
Blinded my eyes
Don't take it away and leave me fallen here
A broken world, tearing, cutting deep
Just take me away and leave this fallen world
Windswept, well you set me free
This changing sea
Pulled me out alive
This love takes me away
This changing sea
Fell into my hands
There's no turning back
We're headed toward new life
You took me away and left this fallen world
Broken free from, gave me new life
Just took me away and left it all behind
This beautiful life has set us free!

You and Me

Staring out my window
You're watching TV
You feel so far apart from me
Even though you're near
What could I say?
My need for you won't die away
Cuz I know that you are true
I'm feeling better already tonight
It feels so good just to know we're alright
If we get down, we're still looking up
To the stars above cuz we know we are one
Anyway we are
You smile at me
A small exchange for one from me
Even though you're near
What could you say?
You know it don't matter anyway
Cuz I know that you'll be true
I'm feeling better already tonight
It feels so good just to know we're alright
If we get down, we're still looking up
To the stars above cuz we know we are one
What comes next?
I don't know
But we'll hold on
We will grow
Cuz we were meant to be together
Well I'll love you till the day I die
Staring out my window
You're watching TV
You feel so far apart from me
Even though you're near
What could you say?
You know it don't matter anyway
Cuz I know that you'll be true
I'm feeling better already tonight
It feels so good just to know we're alright
If we get down, we're still looking up
To the stars above cuz we know we are one
What comes next?
I don't know
But we'll hold on
We will grow
Cuz we were meant to be together
Well I'll love you till the day I die

You attempt to lock me in your sights
But you can't pinpoint me with your satellite
OK! I'll play!
Cuz I know you can't catch me either way
Wasting every second of your time
Growing this expansion with my universal climb
One look to see
White dots a hundred lightyears 'neath my feet
A big bang blow
Light, sound, thermal, chemical!
A fleeting glow
All you see through the dust of my...
You wanted, wanted all of me
L.E.O. kinetic energy
You're searchin', searchin' after me
Leave behind spinning gravity
You wanted, wanted all of me
L.E.O. kinetic energy
You're searchin', searchin' after me
Spark up the plug with turn key ignition
Past, present, future!
Ain't the final mission in my...
I harnessed the power of a billion horses
Pushin' this vessel with all my sources
We'll manipulate time and create straight lines
Got a travelin' bag with sweet new rags in my left hand!
And my keys in my right!
Paint the galaxy red at the speed of light!
I got what I got
It ain't a lot
Only 10 seconds left
PUNCH IT!
Listen to my chops!
Never by "why" only "how" you roll
In the game of intergalactic roshambo
You're move! Futile!
You ain't got the know how, skill or style
In a hostile atmosphere
One-seventy-five-O-O M.P.H. to blast off here
Stellar! Big flare!
Rippin' up the chase with a single tear!
A big bang blow
Light, sound, thermal, chemical!
A fleeting glow
All you see through the dust of my...
You wanted, wanted all of me
L.E.O. kinetic energy
You're searchin', searchin' after me
Leave behind spinning gravity
You wanted, wanted all of me
L.E.O. kinetic energy
You're searchin', searchin' after me
Spark up the plug with turn key ignition
Past, present, future!
Ain't the final mission in my...

Red Again
07:21
|

I don't know what I'm doing
And I'm pretty sure it's showing
I can't see what is left inside this tune
If I'm gonna tell the truth
When I woke up late last night
Yeah the only thing that I saw there was you
I don't know if I'm coming
I don't know if I'm going
I only know who I should walk next to
Cuz I'm standing at the door
I dropped the invite on the floor
And I see that there is nothing left to do
Cuz there's one thing
Only one string left
And I can't seem to take it anymore
Only one thing
Yeah just one string left
And I don't know much longer will it hold
No, No!
Yeah with everything
Whenever near you stand
You turn my skin a new shade of red
I'm red again
I can't see where I'm going
Too afraid that all is showing
I'm hoping that it passed right over you
I've been losing sleep at night
Even turning out the light
But it doesn't seem to matter what I do
Cuz there's one thing
Only one string left
And I don't know that I can do no more
No, No!
I don't know if I'm coming
I don't know if I'm going
I only know who I should walk next to
Please don't go!
Dual channels I tuned into
Because for matter would I have sinned
Just to get me in!
But there's one thing
Only one string left
And I hope that much longer it will hold
Only one thing
Yeah just one string left
And I don't want to cut it anymore
No, No!
But with everything
Whenever near you stand
You turn my skin a new shade of red
I'm red again
Yeah with everything
No matter where you stand
Don't turn my skin to red!

Look me? I'm shifty eye
Does my mustache give it away?
Spot on, this monocle
Man, I'm dapper, I'm dapper
With a little twist we'll talk about it
Wish a little bit, you think about it
Have a little taste!
With a little twist I'll sing about it
Take a little sip, you'll swallow all of it
Just a little taste, you'll buy me out of it
3 Piece, pinstripe, wax up
Knot my wingtips, slide into place
Slick black, top hat, roll out
My selection, selection
You think long, you're thinking wrong
Don't hasitate, step right up and play along
STEP RIGHT UP!
My sixth mix, your only fix
Total eclipse, no skeptics, ain't pulled no tricks
NO POLITICS!
My special blend, for you my friend
Dynitralythaltrigglypollohydrogen
Now take this vial and collect your style
Fashion'bly smooth, this punch don't bruise
It only sets you right
No novelty, expect to see
This change is over night
And with thunder, lightning, expedite!
Check out this silky walk
My elixirs cure everything
Last chance, no time, decide
Take the offer, the offer!
With a little twist we'll talk about it
Wish a little bit, you think about it
Have a little taste!
With a little twist I'll sing about it
Take a little sip, you'll swallow all of it
Just a little taste, you'll buy me out of it
Sly smile, stiletto style
Cut my pearlies on NPCs
Talk out both sides my mouth
Well I don't care, I don't care!
You think long, you're thinking wrong
Don't hasitate, step right up and play along
STEP RIGHT UP!
My sixth mix, your only fix
Total eclipse, no skeptics, ain't pulled no tricks
NO POLITICS!
My special blend, for you my friend
Dynitralythaltrigglypollohydrogen
Now take this vial and collect your style
Fashion'bly smooth, this punch don't bruise

I Wanna Wake Up
03:23
|
|||
Many familiar, but we can't be every one
Closed off to most good things when trying, so be none
And in the end it looks like all this will be gone
I wanna wake up
Sometimes the bad we do outweighs the good we said
Forever tainted reputation, made our bed
Tired of pretending now, it's not just in our head
I wanna wake up
However many times we're stopped, but want to go
Seems like the further headed down, we think we know
Living our life teeming with lies, the truth won't grow
I wanna wake up
Post thought, our lives corrupt by all we pushed aside
Without the love we sought, there's nothing, said goodbye
And now the end we've reached, results of all the lies
I wanna wake up
