Supersterious

Show me what you want and you show me who you are,
let me see the scars
of sacrifice and the inconvenient life, have you ever tried
Turn your heads, hide your eyes, say you don’t wanna be hypnotized
Truth will always burn away the lies, let it ignite
Love, shinin’ bright,
do you fear the light, or what it makes you promise
Parasites paralyze, para legalize our hearts, paramilitary targets
Purify while rippin people apart, an’ then cling to the carcass
Starved and diseased, won’t go willin’, justify murder as mercy killin’
Alarm bells are screamin’ all over the world,
haven’t you heard
Love, shinin’ bright, do you fear the light, or what it makes you promise
Get out of the darkness
Hear the sound, bangin’ loud, rebel souls cut down
See hatred bleed the towns,
where’s love

Last of the Great Part-Timers

Handshakes and phony smiles are not my style
I am here to get your work done, read my employee profile
I’m the last of the great part-timers
No job is too menial despite how you may feel
But when you’re understaffed and underpaid
resentment’s hard to conceal
Sometimes the less some do, the more they seem to make
When I’ve had enough, my struggle lifts me up
My lack of schoolin’s my undoin’,
I thought that taught meant bought
education’s a corporation
So I’m the last of the great part-timers
Meltdown the nuclear family, can’t pay all these bills
One man serves too many masters, symptoms of deadlier ills
Sometimes the less some do, the more they seem to make
When I’ve had enough, my struggle lifts me up

Royal Pine

I am going to ride, until I finally get to paradise,
hunger is the soul’s guide
No fear of the fading twilight road, hold on
Long nights in soft places, overlapping precious spaces
A true love was all I wanted, loneliness has always haunted
No matter how hard life seems, never give up on youth’s dreams
Spirits shimmer in the moonlight, lost in the rhythm of their flight
to share shining moments, I am almost there
She frees me from apprehension, we begin our ascension
Mystery hearts rise, through firework eyes
that light up the unknown, stronger than the sun
We are breathing side by side, spinning in love we go, falling under
She frees me from apprehension, we begin our ascension
Mystery hearts rise, through firework eyes
that light up the unknown, stronger than the sun, when it finally comes

Ankle Star

She doesn’t mind the room, at least they let her choose
Reads her letters from former addresses, memories of abuse
Troubled by an aging anger, she has no one near
Surrounded by the visions and whispers from the disappeared
Once there was sunshine, flowers in her hair
She saw the star’s light at first sight
She doesn’t feel the need to reveal allegiances through what she wears
Out in the crowd she’d rather prefer if nobody knew she was there
Shanty girl, in weathered white lace, your history is a blur
Prisoner to time and this cold hard place, you gave up on wasted words
There was sunshine, flowers in her hair, before they erased it, now she welcomes despair
To hear that warm voice, a dangling thread of gold
broken by what she’s been shown, lost child cries alone
Remaining in the dark she fears, with guilt and regret she took
The keepsake she clutches hasn’t stopped shining, she never bothers to look
Lethargy and self-pity, she thinks she has nowhere to turn
I would face fire or worse, if only I knew where you were
Yeah, there was sunshine, flowers in her hair
Before they erased it, and now she welcomes despair
To hear the warm voice, dangling thread of gold
It’s broken by what she’s been shown
lost child, you’re not alone please come home
Love rescues the restless heart
the lost child, don’t you believe I’m not strong, to rescue,
Don’t you believe I am wrong, no, to rescue the restless

Radiator X

Stand up, don’t let the colors dictate your behavior
eat propaganda like a real live corporate raider
Remember Rwanda, yeah and Tienanmen Square,
because the new death show, could happen right here
The peaceful dreamers, overrun by the soul stealers,
who think it’s fair to make the poor share
Start shootin when the paper veil begins to tear,
the hard pressed take the hard line
Drop the body count, lift the embargo,
this isn’t something you can buy, beg, steal, or borrow
The global supermarket, the evil aisle,
guns, sex, drugs, and power, we walk the murder mile
Are the lawness flawless, ask the IRS what they cost us,
you can’t deny what you try to hide
White collars, white devils, spillin white lies
Radiator X, we rouse the rebels, to march out of step,
through the land mines, like a live wire
All night freedom fight, to survive you cannot lose sight,
these prison bars can’t block out the stars
from eyes that are always searchin hard
A resolution, not made made,
this is the light you will never ever ever fade,
shine on, rise above

Swifty

Your hands are cold, like midnight snow,
your hair’s fallen from your velvet bow
Your eyes are tired, from staring sadness down
Don’t be sorry for being strong, for so long, let me stand beside you
I was scared and huddled, in the painful chill alone, you were there for me
Death-defying, swift as lightning comes, your heart is breaking
I will hold you now, I will not fail you, death-defying, swift as lightning comes
I need your smile and your love, no one else is enough
You are my center, for which I search for moral ground
Passion burning, pouring out, sweetness, nothin’s gonna end this
The sky may tremble, with darkness raging on, I will find you
Death-defying, swift as lightning comes, early in the morning
see the stars spell your name, I will not fail you
Death-defying, swift as lightning comes
I’m lonely, and lowly, say it forever, mean it forever, it’s got to be forever
Scared and huddled, I will hold you now, you were there for me
Death-defying, swift as lightning comes
Little bit o’soul now, with darkness raging on, I will find you
Swift as lightning, that’s how love will come, hear it crashing loud

Darkness at the Break of Dawn

Wake up in the mornin’, walls are closin’ in
No one left to sympathize, friends have reached their end
I’ve never felt so, unbelievabley low
I’ve got to get up, I know, and give it another go
Darkness at the break of dawn
after the love has gone
I’m all out of what I was on
Darkness at the break of dawn
I know what I should do, quit focusing on you
An’ I need to “follow through”
