1.
White walls Magnetic doors They’ve numbered me I feel no more Observe me I am a rat Rotted mind They don’t like that
2.
I don’t wanna go back to that place Where my fingernails scratch like razor blades On the pavement As I’m dragged back into the darkness I was revived I was out but now I’m slipping back I don’t wanna feel all numb inside Cause you pump me with those to keep me high Lay that white sheet over my mind It doesn’t help my problem It just buys time I was revived I was out but now I’m slipping back
3.
How do I carry on with a ghost from the past? Ripping away what I call me so it cannot last Taking what is mine and making it their own I don’t know what to do I’m scared and alone
4.
Sweep the dirt off of the floor I look back there was more than before A bottomless problem that will always sustain A vicious mess that is hard to contain Where do I dispose these feelings? Got to get them out there killing Sweep them under the rug right there! The past is receding My minds bleeding pictures that attack me And I don’t like it Not one bit Don’t look back cause It will stop us From going further then
5.
A carcass lies upon the double yellow Stiff as a board with eyes like jello Rubber runs over him again and again Splitting him into two as it rips and rips A ton of put together metal crushes his skull As an animal he doesn’t deserve a proper burial But even if he was pulled to the gravel side The buzzards would swoop down to pick and pull and eat him alive And even if he was dead They would still claw the brains right out of his head
6.
I want you to go to sleep so go It’s been so long since you’ve had a dream so go I want you to go to sleep so go I want you to have a dream so sleep Are you ever going to dream? We’re not aloud to dream here Are you ever going to use your brain? The evil one infiltrated the office and now we’re all insane Come with me, I can help you They all say that so they can house their lies in my body and brainwash me oh how I force away the memory they pushed me around and they all had guns I know we’ve watched them for years dry your tears It’s all about to end
7.
The world is ending The rain is pouring down Trying to stop the fire People running The streets are empty now TV’s flickering I look up at the sky at god or whatever I cry out I get no response Too many clouds around And now you see it It’s all become so clear That it’s the end of time And you can’t awake This is not a dream it’s real And you can’t escape Buildings crumble The loudest cries I’m scared to death But it’s all right this time Because there’s nothing left Goodbye world
8.
It hurts to look into your eyes My eyes are projecting my thoughts into you Your eyes read mine You know how I feel But neither of us speak The psychedelic ice cream truck delivers an ice cream cone All the children come around They feel safe and sound Until they go back to their homes Where they feel they don’t belong
9.
Did you ever think the world would turn upside down like it has so quickly? I block it all out and take my mind somewhere else Please come with me Dragonfly flying on Circling the sun Then I realized I was circling too My eyes followed that dragonfly to the moon Then I realized I was on this planet not the moon Show me around space give me the tour Make me one of you don’t let me go We’ll never take you back this is your new home We’ll take away all your pain and give you a ray gun But don’t harm anything that smiles or has colors like ours Vibrant and beautiful Brilliantly wonderful Or any sign of love Now your one of us!!!
10.
The truth is here It’s here It’s clear It’s clear I know the truth Please dear Come here It’s clear It’s clear You live on the world The past is hung above I live on this place Where the present happens The stars in space Blow up and fade away I see it in action One hundred thousand years I’ll see your reaction Look up see lies I live in paradise now Now you see it! So believe it! Now you see it! So please believe it! All I ever wanted to do Was drive down Groom Lake Road And bust down the doors And tell the world the news And that we all have been lied to They are all whores! They died with their secrets hidden deep
11.
I hope someday you will feel the pain You forced on me to make me go insane Your powers made me obey Now you’re dead. I do not owe you anything Up here there are none of your kind So I can finally rest and put you out of my mind One day I will have a loving guide To share this space with and to call mine I guess no one I knew before was real I do believe I was tricked I feel as if this was all a big joke And now they are all at a round table laughing at the past Sipping their high dollar tea A conscious effort to avoid me is not the best feeling I hate this I guess for the remainder of my time I must come in with a silent face and a silent heart I shall move like a ghost traveling alone Unknown Because no one ever cared They are all to take and pick sides Not one is on mine This dark place is rising again The ground is breaking and I am falling in But this time I know my way out I have the map I just don’t want to go back Because the repercussions slice me like a razor blade I told you that The emptiness it leaves The tiredness it brings The tears it weeps The hunger it feeds The wants turn to needs Mental status of your kids depreciates Cause of pictures they are forced to see Mother being hit Yelling obscenities Syringe left in a drunken arm The non-bios The split of their leaders Then the place that blew up Becomes way too much So bloody baths flow over And leave A stain So where do we find Happiness all the time Let’s look Somewhere in the aurora borealis Is where it begins Where does it end? And the flower grows
12.
Let’s celebrate being alive We are the ones who survived There’s no worry in sight We can dance all night They used to say You Can’t Cat walk, reaaarr Ooh their modeling the new intergalactic wear let’s look They are oh so beautiful when they strut Iridescent clothing is what they’ve got You’ve got it gurl! Dylan, Hank, Macy, Michael, Kirk let’s have some fun! Our friends are so enchanting We love them a lot Loving all this happiness that cannot be bought Let’s do the voices here for Greyson Back on our planet we blamed a group of people ruining their whole civilization What’s that shit? The evil ones of course wanted more cash in their pockets so they played the power game and sent tanks across the ocean to extract greed from the ground to put in moving vehicles. They tricked the blind through mass communication Do I need to close my heart? Close it up Because every time I open it It gets beaten up The psychedelic gods were right the secrets were in the saucer Memories arise it happens all the time and so I fall back into minor blues
13.
I lay under a digital oak tree Thinking about how life used to treat me I lay there with a smile cause I know I never have to go back there I walk down a narrow pathway I look out and see a friend Take off and fly away Out into space, this is life I see a face! It’s lookin’ at me Visually satisfying! Who can it be? Messing up the semantic encoding Cause my syntax is out of wack Sounding like blather Paradoxical encounter You’re a contradiction To my mothers nature Walls turn dubstep Moving pictures round in my head Turned off light switch I think I need a reset Let’s go around again Undo me Back to you I see you walking Your aurora is that of some supernatural force Headed towards me I see the glitter on your cheeks Neon colors in your hair flowing everywhere Standing on a cartoon lawn, you got that gloomillume thing going on So do I go in circles or do I go to you I don’t know It’s just so hard to come close to something so powerful It’s like you have this shield up but it’s mental it’s really invisible A very genteel being With a touch unlike my kind Aimlessly wondering Am I just a sight? To see or do you see me?
14.
Do you think we see in color to keep us all happy? What about the color blind? Are they sad or do they even mind? Rainbow don’t go Please! What if we saw black and white? Color on scary things that happen at night Like blood color bright red Flowing out of someone that is dead Rainbow don’t go Please!
15.
You have taken me home I have dreamt of this place This is a beautiful place Such a happy place Where did you find this place? I guess we are up in space This is a beautiful place Such a happy place
