Impact!

It's a fine time it's a fine line
there's no place to run and hide
It makes disaster
I can dream of another place
all my problems erased
Or just get plastered
This time I'll stop runnin start pretending I'm dead
with all these pressured circles pushing me into dread
I can be who I want to be!
If I don't have a place to go
I don't care or I just don't know
I can dream of another life
Full of hope and absent strife
And moving faster
This time I'll start runnin stop pretending I'm dead
With all these pressured circles pushing me into dread
I can be who I want to be!
I can be who I want to be!

Store Lot
Smoke pot
No thought that I could be makin records
Rail thin
Stick Pin
Can't win so I eat up all the mushrooms
I'm not just a robot!
Inured to my own circuitry
I've almost got a grip on things I do believe
But it begs the question...
Skinned knees
Ripped jeans
Rick Dees and a penny for the future
Data freeze
3 D(imension)s
So pleased that I got to feel emotion
Hip check
Stiff neck
Car wreck and it barely made the papers
Face plant
Adam Ant
We can't give a shit about the future
Fishbone
Headphones
Thunderdome and I'm jumpin out the window
Next of kin
Second wind
Violins and an inexpensive casket
I'm not just a robot!
Inured to my own circuitry
I've almost got a grip on things I do believe
But it begs the question...
Six pack
Ack Ack
Stand back while I drink a little faster
Lent fish
Tsk Tsk
Last wish of a total fucking bastard
I'm not just a robot!
Inured to my own circuitry
I've almost got a grip on things I do believe
But it begs the question...
(Not A Robot, But Actually A Total Fucking Robot):
Why do I do this to myself?

Olympic Gold
03:25

In terms of angry indecision you're the one to take the gold
In terms of lazy opposition you're an amateur at most
I left you standing in the hallway truth is always an offense
Not enough to spark the angry but to the ears just as intense
But then something scares me a little something called commitment
So c'mon would you dare me?
If not I could imagine it
I stood you up and then I crumbled such an easy way to rest
I ever made it to your lineup or gave you reasons to suspect
I won't hold your hand down this dark road!
You could show me you cared just even just a little
You find your tongue alright when you need it
and it ain't no joke and it ain't no riddle
But then something scares me a little something called commitment
So c'mon would you dare me?
If not I could imagine it

Karate Chop

Did I make a mistake? Is that all that I'll make
Like I'm some kinda bait well who tells me?
Tryin not to look down fifty feet to the ground and I'll never be found
Well I tell you
Makin up some excuse and it's really obtuse like a mental recluse
Well who tells me?
Starin up at the sky and I'm hopin to die give me one reason why
Well I tell you
Don't try to fake me out
It's nothin new
You use your electric eyes to confuse my point of view
Past time that we talk it out no reason why
I cross my heart and hope to die
Give me some kinda fear don't let anyone near gonna hide right here
Well I tell you
Make me give up the crown while there's no one around and I won't make a sound
Well who tells me?
Synthesize it don't wait I control my fate must be something I ate
Well I tell you
Follow all of the smoke careful now dontcha choke cause it's makin me broke
Well who tells me?
Don't try to fake me out
It's nothin new
You use your electric eyes to confuse my point of view
Past time that we talk it out no reason why
I cross my heart and hope to die
I hope to die

Mothership
05:39
|

I walked outside real cool the aliens came down in two's
I boarded their ship and became their friend
'There's no anal probe,' they explained, and their words reached not my ears but my brain
I thought I might stay for the journey's end
Not a dream but it's not real
It's something just outside I feel
The stoner on the mothership
I brought along my brand-new roach clip
I brought out my nugs in haste and loaded up their bong for that first taste
We were smokin doobies round Sirius
Past the black holes and quasars we smoked til we had fresh lung scars
They painted their ship like a Minibus
Not a dream but it's not real
It's something just outside I feel
The stoner on the mothership
I brought along my brand-new roach clip
It was time to get me home, My buds were gone and my new friends were stoned
I was so fucked up I could hardly speak
Past the sun and Mercury sweet mother Earth was callin me
They said they'd be back in about a week
Not a dream but it's not real
It's something just inside I feel
The stoner on the mothership
I brought along my brand-new roach clip

Outta Breath
02:33
|

The last photograph of the saints' suffering is all that is left of his soul
The plague covering the remains of his home is indicative of his platitudes
He's bullshit
He's incredible
And no one hears his name cause he's
Outta breath
An archer he's smooth and so suffering the apple is bleeding its blood
The questions extreme and he answers in bluffs a window a sheet and a bedframe
He's bashful
But so cool yeah
And no one hears his name cause he's
Outta breath
The check by his face show the lack of giving up a favored few get in to see
The asterisk cuts and fogs up his name there's so much to learn from chemicals
He's anxious
He's obtuse
And no one hears his name cause he's
Outta breath

In My Eyes
03:26
|

I never listened to your words
I never learned about your hopes and dreams
I know I love you in my eyes
With all the hurt and all the lies
If you'd just stay with me I promise I won't do no wrong
I know I don't deserve this second chance
I know I love you in my eyes
In my eyes
I had to call you in sick to work
Even though yer just fuckin drunk
I had to watch the kids while you dried out
Even though you'll never change
If you'd just stay with me I promise I won't do no wrong
I know I don't deserve this second chance
I know I love you in my eyes
in my eyes
You threw my clothes out on the street
you destroyed my good guitar
You threw away my amp and all my books
well who the hell do you think you are?
If you'd just stay with me I promise I won't do no wrong
I know I don't deserve this second chance
I know I love you in my eyes
in my eyes

Strata
02:48

I wish this effort didn't hurt so much
Sometimes intentions are just too hot to the touch
I keep refuting my actuary brain
and at night I just go insane
When only dope remains that's when you show it
And the truth is plain that's when you blow it
And they shoot to maim just like forever like
you planned it
My lungs get wet and my head damn near explodes
attaching comp-i-limentary electrodes
at night I get down on my knees and pray
Of course I ain't got no words to say
When only dope remains that's when you show it
And the truth is plain that's when you blow it
And they shoot to maim just like forever like
you planned it
I carry every emotion on sleeves
recovery as an end through tired-ass means
I tell myself it's a highway with no end
Catastrophe's just around the bend

Walk On Rain
04:57
|

Storm black clouds rolling through my head and I roll away
In line my feet skate across my bone and I can't see
Pour blood across my teeth and my skin turns to gray
Makes sense for my ears to bleed I can't hear let the arrow fly plant the seed cause
I'm walkin on rain
I'm countin my days
til I drown
Another deluge and I'll die victim of the rain
See no more rain drops drippin on my face the drippin the drippin drives me mad
I sense no coming clouds bringin death to me
Search the sky check the wounds ask the worms don't be sad cause
I'm walkin on rain
I'm countin my days
til I drown
I'm walkin on rain
The floods have ruined my heart searching my head for holes
Spit upon the angry gods above curse at them and fall on your knees
Wish I'd die not have to see you go don't wanna let myself astray
Spill the blood upon the ground climb and run for angry trees
I'm walkin on rain
I'm countin my days
til I drown

Naiad

Like a triple bypass I know I'll disintegrate inside
And my brain's wrapped in a coma of silt
There's just something insane about waking up I'm down on the upside
Fuck it I dredge the river for the mud
It's such a heavy price to pay
And now you know this is the way
Under cover of God I soak my cells in the ether
I climb up miles just to make it to the floor
The tenet compels the regurgitational thinking
And I want it much less so I do it much more
It's such a heavy price to pay
And now you know this is the way
As the penitent cries my meteors end up losing'
the momentum I gained just giving up the ghost
The syrup and flies are covering up the bodies
Pay the cover for the wake and fuck up the toast
It's such a heavy price to pay
And now you know this is the way
