this magic will pass great healers amass energy fills up your glass
you're a servant to the moon
the world dies young last breath from its lungs it is getting the last laugh
while awaiting the next crash
there comes a day we all lose our way only darkness is our light
we have reached another side
there came an unknown entity
that washed us clean of broken dreams
please sing a song while i bleed
and wont you read the tea leaves for me
what have we done like gods with our guns killing everything in our path
for a peace that never lasts
burn it all down i have no love all that's left is aftermath
ancient spirits gather ash
no stars in the sky no sun and no moon they say that it's our land
in the palm of their blood stained hands
harness the powers that be
carve your name in the family tree
please explain what life means
and wont you read the tea leaves for me
this watershed moment became a waterfall and swept away them all
those who tried to stop the ball from rolling
pray to the dead ask them to spare our heads fire anoints the alter
we gave our souls to whats left to hold
baptized in their gold the sky falls like a fallen angel
the beast rose up from the sea
while dying drank from rites of spring
I've laid down my shattered wing
s wont you read the tea leaves for me

they cant force feed me money I'll die a thief
the killing joke's not funny they say what will be will be
its a big world we're just sea glass we're the sand on the beach
the big picture's moving too fast
fast when you're sound asleep
I wanna feel your love
your calmness is my drug
I'm not who I thought I was
what unites us is our blood
lost in the tide inside the dunes
I was a slave time healed my wounds
got no regrets I'm sunny got nowhere to be
the land of milk and honey broken promises set you free
the station's playing static we're in tune with the beat
the resistance is automatic when we're living in harmony
I wanna feel your love
you can save me from the flood
the ghost of an era is done
reflections of how far we've come
all of the teachers preaching doom
I was consumed time healed my wounds
the mission bells are ringing and it is time for tea
the rivers swiftly flowing oh what a moment to be
I can't help but feel persuaded can't help falling in love
the end of the day I'm happy I made it I'm part of the making of
I wanna feel your love
like a moonbeam from above
they told me ask the dust
you get so alone at times that it just makes sense
I wanna feel your love
I'm a pusher for the shove
like an olive branch from a dove
the book of knowledge has just begun
seeing the message in the runes
I was a wreck time healed my wounds
I knew to win I'd have to lose
I was in fear time healed my wounds

without a woman

In new york somewhere
That's where you’ll find me
trying to join the 27 club
The all seeing eye
It led me blind
I ended up killing all my love
Seems like everybody
They need a savior
A superman to come and save the day
My king is a queen
I kneel at her throne
I bow before mother nature’s face
Without a woman
Where would i be
Without the 9 muses who mystify me
I'm stuck in my footsteps
Just waiting to get paid
Though today is tomorrow's yesterday
Don’t believe in the dream
They provided
For it really was a wolf in sheep's clothes
The excitement of
New worlds collided
We took a fatal overdose
Friends and enemies
I left them behind
I buried my head in the sky
Felt like the lightning
Struck deep inside
When i looked into mother nature’s eyes
Without a woman
I’d have no hope
I’d be in the quicksand at the end of my rope
All that i’ve learned
Was burned into my heart
Tattooed with the tears
That i bled in the dark
Without a woman
There’d be none of us
We’d be deep in the abyss
Particles of space dust
Without a woman
I’ve got nothing to say
Don’t you burn out too soon
Or else you’ll fade away
Without a woman
I'm lost in the weeds
Trying to be someone
That i’ll never be

i lost all i did find lost all the keys to my mind
you found a pathway inside the fountain of pain that i hide
i'm not right
i don't want to sink i don't want to swim
i don't want to live these past lives again
watch it fade to haze every shade of gray
there are no words to say
we are digging our graves traveling the highway we paved
our hearts are falling like rain burning the memories we saved
it's a shame
i don't want to sink i don't want swim
if weren't for foes i would have no friends
some will play the game no matter how mundane
there are no words to say
home of the brave mind is depraved
year of the monkey on your back
can you behave act your age
what if what saves you turns you mad
from the black holes to the edge of the unknown standing on this rock that we call home
a century is too long to be alone the only thing i own is my own
these sacred bones
i don't want to sink i don't want swim
like the moment i was born gasping for oxygen
don't want to make em pay there is another day
there are no words to say
i don't want to sink i don't want swim
the worlds going backwards i'll keep ramblin
like the flowers bloom in may the sun will fall in place
there are no words to say
quitting the stage sailing away on the road that has no bend
what have we made marked in a cave to be great you must pretend
a knowing thatX3 this will end the wall around you the wall surrounds you but walls were made
To be broken

I don't believe in love

You spilt blood on me
I put it in writing
The power you exercised
The light from you was blinding
I was so alone
I could hear myself thinking
I’m going to see the world
Or else i'll die trying
Robbed of the feeling of being young
Living and dying by the gun
The moment is gone like a fugitive
I got left in the dust
I don’t believe in love
Cried into a bottle of wine
While the two of you were fighting
I took some sacrament
It felt like i was flying
The next day we went to the hills
In steinbeck’s east of eden
I'm going to find a higher plane
Or else i'll die trying
The night i drew the 5 of cups
You told me i’d always have a crux
The endless fix has broke me up
I don’t give a fuck
I don’t believe in love
It’s a do no harm way to be
We can heal ourselves of this disease
In the golden age
Trying to find the silver lining
The voice keeps calling me
I’ve succumb to it’s enchanting
People wander through my life
Though it feels like they are leaving
I'm going to find the meaning
Or else i'll die trying
Guess i might as well press my luck
It carries on with or without us
Life isn’t something you can insure
Everything is going to rust
I don’t believe in love

rebirth

The past is a widow with a silver mane
She cries out your window for a dying day
You have no fear inside you wear only your pain
You greet your transgressions with a smile on your face
Men make war and they taketh away
But you only listen to what the forest says
The earth is an island in the universe
We walk it blindly looking for our rebirth
I once loved a girl who enchained me like a snake
She told me the moment was whatever you make
I knew i never could make her happy in the end
For happiness is in the eye of the beholder my friend
The family curse was as real as a Hearst
But you had been quenched with a different curse
We took it at face value we didn't know our worth
Bled our hearts of darkness looking for our rebirth
The city like a meadow rolls over the rolling hills
You’re somewhere out there in the sea of lights taking your share of pills
We all cling to something even if it’s just smoke
Singing along to the songs we wish we had wrote
The highway leads to nowhere though it’s somewhere you have been
The aura in the air is your long lost friend
Letting go of old wounds they told you it would hurt
You're in the valley of the shadow of death looking for your rebirth
Underneath the bridge like Kurt Cobain
Watching the decline of civilization’s reign
There is no secret you just have your name
We’re only entitled to the love that we gave
If there is a god why’d they let us go
We’ve been on our own since we've always known
Another spirit another world
We wander the river looking for our rebirth
I lost faith in the feeling i was born with the blues
Feel at one with the ocean and its impending doom
I once danced with witchcraft use to play with the fire
It strummed my heartstrings like apollo’s lyre
I've always been running though i've never escaped
I see now i'm here to learn what it takes
Don’t know how long i'll live for don’t even know if it will work
I look thru the looking glass looking for my rebirth
It really could be nothing or could be all of your dreams
Or it could be a cycle like the turning leaves
Will we return as a new life or will we return to the dirt
The soul is just a searcher looking for it’s rebirth

made of dirt made of blood and tears
a crystal mirror you look deep into the years
the pain in me its how i'll always feel
you've broken through you're above yourself looking down
and the queen of diamonds with the painted eyelids
and her moon in Capricorn
shows you your palm lines are like faded road signs
and the yoke you wear is worn
married to the earth below my feet
there is no curse no power runs that deep
some day I'll cross the line drawn in the sand
you've been to the gates all your tragedy is firsthand
and the queen of diamonds takes a vow of silence
as she tries to navigate the storm
and she opens doorways that have been shut for centuries
she brought you back here to be born
harmony- ecstasy- energy killing me
getting clean- haunted screen- finding this entity
freedoms free-all you need- and all that you want to know is why
carry on-when all is gone=fade into the alpenglow
death is home-it goes slow-let's get metaphysical
all or none-need no guns-we are the chosen ones
consciousness-elements-even nothing has relevance
Ahimsa -i am-i feel- i do-i love-i speak-i see-i understand

Under your dominion
I can finally see
Been in and out of prison
Really never have been free
When i witnessed all there was
You know i never really did think twice
Life it has no calling card
It’s gonna stab you in the back
Breath out breath in
When your world is shaken
You have been hopeless you've been afraid
Keep on rollin keep on rollin away
Got a job at a factory
Helped me pay my debts to the man
There’s so much about this shit
i wanna change
Bout to cash out
and go live off the land
Gonna follow my intuition
and listen to my eyes
No longer gonna serve lord confusion
Gonna leave all those empty voices behind
Bleed out bleed in
It’s ok you're just dreamin
You have been wasted you've been afraid
Keep on rollin keep on rollin away
They're burning down hollywood
I heard it through the grapevine
Watch the fall of Babylon
Nightly on primetime
Money leaves a paper trail
And it all burns in the flames of hell
It’s a good day for a funeral
It’s a good day to be alive
Be out be in
You are not what you pretend
The door is open but you are afraid
Keep on rollin keep on rollin away

always dreaming
04:45

Turned on the station
Heard about world war three
Locked myself in my head
Kept to my periphery
Look up at the marble ceilin
Aint it the prettiest thing you’ve ever seen
I am always dreamin
In the day and in between
The center of the universe
The cosmos must of been here first
You won't find me on the new earth
I'll never forget the way things used to look
Write me a letter
Send me your thoughts in prose
She told me to forget her
To carry on the open road
The devil’s in the details
He’ll meet you down at the county line
I am always dreamin
In the day and in the evening time
The center of the universe
Every time you go away it hurts
I'm trying to contain your mirth
I want to give up for what it’s worth
The highest i've ever been
Was when i fell deep into your life
The strongest summer winds
Drove me down the coastal highway
To stand up on the mountain
To walk the streets the visionaries walked
I am always dreamin
In the end and the great beyond
