The Fire Within

They say that things are tough all over
There is no place to find refuge in these times
Slowly backed into a corner
If you're going to make it out, you'll have to fight to survive
There's a glimpse of light
But first ignite the fire within
You thought you were a social climber
But no one was around to catch you when you fell
You feel the weight that's pulling you down
These demands pile on, they keep you chained to yourself
There's a glimpse of light
But first ignite the fire within

Relax Yourself

Drama king on the scene
Making too much noise
Lexicons so obscene
Just struttin' for the boys
Painful grip see him smile
He brings her to her knees
He gave early warning
Now he ignores the pleas to
Relax yourself relax yourself
Release and relax yourself
Relax yourself
CRT, LCD, gas behind the glass
Mesmerizing movements
Mind control en mass
Talking heads they never cease
They used to start at noon
Now it's 24 hours
Constant howlin' at the moon
You've got to relax yourself relax yourself
Turn off the TV and relax yourself
Relax yourself
Buckled in got a grip
Starin' straight ahead
Tuned up to your talk show
All your future thoughts are dead
Pound the wheel grit your teeth
Diastolic 's gettin' high
That thing behind the mic
Doesn't want you asking why you don't
Relax yourself relax yourself
Change the station and relax yourself
Relax yourself
Expand your lungs let it go
Some lies you don't need know
Music soothes the savage beast
Turn on your stereo
It's not genre specific
As long as you can smile
Move your feet tap your toe and
Hum it all the while that you
Relax yourself relax yourself
Change the station and relax yourself
Turn off the TV and relax yourself
Release and relax yourself

Alien Heartbreak

Well....
Strike up the band, start the show,
I'm a tight rope walker, look out below
Falling feels so good
But with you I don't need to hide
Tell you my secrets, show you all my sides
Its time to tear it all down
So I have to know
So I have to know
Tell me if you really want to go
Set me up like a bandit,
You win again and I just can't stand it
You're moving at the speed of light
Tell me once, tell me twice,
Hurt me again but that ain't nice
You took me deep for sure
But I have to know
Still I have to know
Tell me if you really want to go
They said you were grey but it didn't seem right
You had the face of an angel on an Indiana night
I should have listened to what was said on the radio
What just happened I can't explain
Is the alien in your eyes now at the reigns?
I just can't analyze
You played me for a fool with no hesitation
I went to grab the tickets you left me at the station
The mother ship has gone home.
But I have to know
But I have to know
Tell me did you really want to go?

A forward motion of the extended digit
Can cause a reaction of expected tizzy
It seems repeatablity is a constant to me
Sometimes we know, sometimes we don't
Sometimes it creeps up on us, and then we won't
Realize we've been played
Until it's too late to see
Emotion is a powerful tool
It can make you feel just like a fool
And when it's said and done
Another program starts to run
Emphatic fanatic is all automatic
From birth with dirth, our thoughts their worth
It's there in front of you with obviousity
Just use your mind and you can find
A path to walk with diminished talk
Launder your thoughts
Just like they ought to be
Emotion is a powerful tool
It can make you feel just like a fool
And when it's said and done
Another program starts to run
Robotics is a whole other school of study
You might think this sounds a little bit nutty
But looking at yourself, seems to be the key
Watch out for it don't you dare quit
Or else you'll find your spewing the same old spit
And the drool on your chin, looks just like me
Emotion is a powerful tool
It can make you look just like a fool
And when it's said and done
Another program starts to run
(And run and run and run)

Jones ran off with the money
Left for some place sunny
Mazwul Bopalon'
Mazwul Bopalon'
If I should fly off the handle
Then please light up a candle
Anjus Bopalon'
Anjus Bopalon'
Feels Good
The less I know the better I am
It feels good to not understand
Feels Good
The less I know the better I am
It feels good to not understand
Everything feels like it's sinking
So why am I still drinking?
Mazwul Bopalon'
Mazwul Bopalon'
Although it seems quite tragic
To be hypnotized by the magic
Anjus Bopalon'
Anjus Bopalon'
Feels Good
The less I know the better I am
It feels good to not understand
Feels Good
The less I know the better I am
It feels good to not understand
You have to be optimistic
Hold your breath, you might miss it
Mazwul Bopalon'
Mazwul Bopalon'
The others will make the decisions
No need to keep amunition
Anjus Bopalon'
Anjus Bopalon'
Feels Good
The others will tell me it will be alright
It feels good, no need to plan
Feels Good
The others will tell me it will be alright
It feels good, it's in the bag

I know I made a mess again
But please understand
Waking you up in the middle of the night
Wasn't part of the plan
But you've got to believe me
I'm not feeding you no lines
(no lines)
I'm asking on my knees for mercy
Hoping you have it in you to forgive
I'll make it better baby
I'm telling the truth
If I have drag myself through the mud
to prove it to you
But you've got to believe me
When I tell you I can make it right
(I'm gonna make it right)
I'm asking on my knees for mercy
Hoping you have it in you to forgive
I can't blame you baby
It's happened too many times
I know the odds aren't in my favor
but give me one more try
But you've got to believe me
When I tell you I'll make it right
(I'm gonna make it right)
I'm begging on my knees for mercy
Hoping you have it in you to forgive

You're My Lover

Sometimes I know it seems like I don’t care
But baby that’s not true
Just like my music and the clothes I wear
Darlin’ I’m into you yeah 'cause
You’re my lover
I need you so
When you’re not here, you’re always on my mind
Don’t say that it’s not so
You’re my fast forward, my record, rewind
Darlin' I need you to know 'cause
You’re my lover
I need you so
You’re my lover
I need you so
Sometimes we argue, yeah we fuss and fight
But it’s because we care
And in the end it always turns out right
There’s no time to spare 'cause
You’re my lover
I need you so
Oh, you’re my lover
I need you so

I saw you pass by, but never said hello
There wasn't much I had to say to you
I don't have to hide, just look the other way
Though I cannot run you down
It's better to let you walk away
Maybe it's the attitude that's in my brain
Or too little sleep from the night before
All I can say is I'm in no shape for you
Don't have to move along
But you'd go on and on
The moment is gone, but no, I won't think twice
Too many thoughts in my head keep dragging me down
Well maybe next time, we'll catch up another day
I need to leave this scene for awhile
And forget I let you walk away
Maybe it's the attitude that's in my brain
Or too little sleep from the night before
All I can say is I'm in no shape for you
Don't have to move along
But you'd go on and on
Well maybe next time, we'll catch up another day
I need to leave this scene for awhile
And forget I let you walk away

Two Hours in the Future
02:46

Two hours in the future, two hours in the future
If I could just go two hours in the future
everything’d be fine
I could know the ending of another piss-poor show
I could sell some stock, and make some dough
Get the tickets early to stay out of line
Avoid a traffic jam and be home on time
Two hours in the future, two hours in the future
If I could just go two hours in the future
everything’d be fine
Bet on the horse that’s about to win
Tell my buddy “better stay away from the gin”
Know the next numbers for the lottery
I’d be so happy if I could see…
Two hours in the future, two hours in the future
If I could just go two hours in the future
everything’d be fine
Go ahead and get the hell away from the coast
Know not to eat that old pot roast
Have somebody cut down that old oak tree
And there won’t be nobody bitchin’ at me…
Two hours in the future, two hours in the future
If I could just go two hours in the future
everything’d be fine
Set the alarm so I won’t be late
Break a knuckle on the fickle finger of fate
Get new tires with some decent tread
And fix my brakes so I won’t be dead…
Two hours in the future, two hours in the future
If I could just go two hours in the future
everything’d be fine
