Devil's Waltz

I'm gone with my soul
I'm searching inside
I've gone down that hole
for a ride
Confection, confection
A beast starved direction
He calls insurrection to avoid detection
Keep in mind, the burrow's inside
Now it's time for the horrors again
Will you come again?
Throw in all your faults
Will you dance again, to the devil's waltz
Is it him? Is it me?
Once you dance you can never be free
Show to catch, on his trail
Chase to no avail!
I'm gone with my soul
I like the feeling it brings
I see down that hole
As it sings...
It's Devil Talk
Keep in mind, the devil's inside
Now it's time for the horrors again
Will you come again? Throw in all your faults
Will you dance again to the devil's waltz
I'm gone with my soul
I'm searching inside
I've gone down that hole
For a ride

Everybody here knows everybody “for sure” cause everybody’s connected
A caste of avarice, an empire of vice, a hierarchy of access
When the bar closes down, we make like we’re leaving
but fiending eyes can see just what’s beginning behind the closing sign...
I say I don’t like it, but I do it
I say I don’t like it at all
Strung in!
Treading quicksand, discreet little succubus, tempting me again
Strung out!
From this generous web. I’m cut off. Set adrift. Such a turbulent end
But I’ve never slept so well, than in the eye of a storm
I’m drained but I’m invincible...
I say I don’t like it, but I do it
I say I don’t like it at all
Should we barricade the door?
Perhaps set up surveillance?
Out of sight, out of mind
Such a curious solution
Out of sight out of mind... Out of sight out of mind... Out of sight out of mind...
Yeah right
Grind it down! Line it up! Ignore your face in the mirror
But you can’t miss your reflection in them eyes around you, peering over your shoulder
It’s a strange reflex, luring me back on so many insistences
But I can rest assured, we’re all friends here “for sure,” cause everybody’s connected...
I say I don’t like it, but I do it
I say I don’t like it at all

Narcissus

I’m so pretty, I’m the only thing that matters
I’m so lovely, in an ugly world that doesn’t care
About the beauty, that is me and I don’t believe you won’t agree
Tell me everyone is watching, dear Echo
And I’ll hang off your every word
Show me everyone is jealous, dearest Mirror
So I can sense my self-worth
And tell me I’m Special: a unique snowflake
And tell me I’m blameless: incapable of mistakes
Unlike You
I feel empty...
and I’m sure you’re to blame
You deserve my tantrum, this ugly world has let me down
Now you’ll pay me attention, Tension...
if it’s the last thing you ever do
“You” don’t exist
“You” can’t be real
There’s no “You” beyond “Me”
No reality outside my dream
My dream... My dream... My dream

I get lost in troubled ways
Stricken down by violent haze
I was lost in a Hell I know, got
‘Least two decades more to go
Cracked up by complacency, got
Told I’m old audaciously, I ne-
Ver realized that my opinions
Don’t extend to my dominions
Passing through this modern day
Sense is left off by the way
Dogmatically dismiss my views
So long as I can make my dues
I call what I see
Wanna know what I see?
I see those who
Disappear away from physical
Shape their minds around
something quizzical
Beaming out with all it’s might
Images I cannot fight
Only show what they want to show
I’m Toshiba I’m Casio
I don’t believe in this
I don’t believe in you
Where do I go now?
I was there in time
Will you be my bride?
Wire shock and iron plough
I am in there here and now
I have crossed beyond the pale
Calls of time I must avail
Two halves of my time, I have
Begun the climb. But
When you’re held by forced admission
Hard to end the old tradition
Fervently towards it’s fall
All is one and one for all
The world has never
seemed so true
Now it’s time,
I die with you
Closer closer in my sleep, I’m
Closer closer in my sleep, I’m
Closer closer in my sleep, I’m
Raaaaahhh

She’s got a ghost; you can bet it’s a smart One
Dead but still breathing, in a recess of her Heart
At night she can hear it say, “Don’t you worry babe,
if you can’t let go I’ll stay, won’t leave you babe,
baby, you’re alright, just sleep tight”
My old man said, “Son, you can’t save them all
You’ll burnout on the weight of it, you’ll break down, you’ll fall”
My grandma said, “Boy, there’s plenty of guilt in this world
Don’t you take more than you earned, you can’t save them all”
He’s got a ghost; you can bet it’s a funny One
Dead but still joking, cracking wise in the back of his Mind
At night his words turn sincere, “I’m still here. If you can’t stay awake I’ll take
the watch tonight, believe me you’re all right, just sleep tight”
My old man said, “Son, you can’t save them all
You’ll burnout on the weight of it, you’ll break down, you’ll fall”
My grandma said, “Boy, there’s plenty of guilt in this world
Don’t you take more than you earned, you can’t save them all”
The kid’s got a ghost, you can bet it’s a tall One
Don’t yet know what dead is: What’s lost but not gone?
At night he can hear it pray, “Hallelujah babe”
At the bedside through the gray,
“Hallelujah, may you be okay, just sleep tight”
My old man said, “Son, you can’t save them all
You’ll burnout on the weight of it, you’ll break down, you’ll fall
My grandma said, “Boy, there’s plenty of guilt in this world
Don’t you take more than you earned, you can’t save them all”
But what a difference it’d have made to have saved One
To a Heart, a Mind, and a Soul, living each day to get old
What a difference it’d have made to those days to have saved One

Punchline
07:31

I knew that there was something going on
It was suspicious what you wouldn't talk about
Such a letdown to have given my trust only to find
Every intention to verify
Life’s a joke, love’s the punchline
Yo mama heard the tale countless times
First the set-up, then the twist
Everyone chuckles while you try to make sense of it
And I laughed so hard I could cry
I laughed so hard I could cry
Love’s a joke, I’m the punchline
My mother will hear this sad tale one time
You like the slapstick, yeah? I’ll pull out the rug
You’re tumbling over while I’m cracking up
And I laughed so hard I could cry
I laughed so hard I could cry
It’s just a cliché to everyone but you (Your heart aches)
It’s just a cliché to everyone... Your heart aches
I told my joke, but no one’s laughing...
Well, I guess you just would have had to have been there
It didn’t help at all: having the last laugh
It didn’t help, it didn’t help at all
Laughing alone

Love & Courage

Ooo baby, I’ve been around. I heard the darkness at the edge of town
Ooo woman, this cynical heart was busted up at the start
Ooo baby, I felt the harm that comes from dropping my guard
It’s not easy to forget
Times vulnerability led to regret
If Love & Courage are the same damn thing
For you, I’ll be brave
Ooo baby, in your eyes it’s clear. You been let down by someone insincere
Ooo woman, some charlatan, acted magnetic but he was made of tin
Ooo baby, you felt the harm that can come from dropping your guard
It’s not easy to forget
The times vulnerability led to regret
If Love & Courage are the same damn thing
For you, I’ll be brave
I’ve been left, I’ve been stuck for rent
Learned to bounce from leaps of faith
My heart’s never been broken only broken open
A little bit wider, little bit wiser
A little bit stronger for you
Ooo baby, I wanna believe in you, give you reason to believe in me too
Ooo woman, we could trust again, we’ll show each other how to begin
Ooo baby, we could feel the warmth that could come from dropping our guns
We don’t have to forget
The times vulnerability led to regret
If love & courage are the same damn thing
For you, I’ll be brave

Handsome

He enters with a smile
He’ll keep you going a while
He got that trick, makes the room click
He’ll always play it with style
Ooo, ooo, He’s so Handsome
Oh yes, He’s Handsome
He came in like a breeze
His eyes, always seem to tease
He comes in close, shimmy as He goes
His mind is made to please
Oooo, He’s Handsome
My, He’s just Handsome
When it comes to my love
He’s got me, he’s got me
What I’m thinking of
He’s got me, he’s got me
When they all look away
He’s got me, he’s got me
At the end of the day
He’s got me
He slowly centers the light
‘Round Him it’s never uptight
He’s got that ride, the party’s come inside
He’s like a meteorite
Ooo, ooo He’s so Handsome
Oo Why why why why he’s so Handsome?
He’s Handsome
He’s Handsome
Ooo, he’s Handsome

Care Less

Everyone I know thinks a certain way
But not everyone I know is quite everyone
It’s not even everyone in my hometown
It’s not even everyone in this room
No, I - I couldn’t care less
Everything I know follows certain rules
Not everything I know is everything
It’s not even everything that could have been
It’s not even everything that makes up my life
Oh, I - I couldn’t care less
Girl looks good
Friend is on point
Mind is at ease
Shaking my joints
Oh, I - I couldn’t care less
