On the Ledge 04:10
Everything you could ever want and more Just like a package laid at your front door Before too long you’re in way too deep With that company that you keep No way to vanish, No where to hide Challenge accepted , enjoy your ride Now everyone knows where the hell you been With one look in your eyes and the condition you’re in I can see all the dreams haven’t found you I can see all the things all around you I can see all the fiends they surround you I can see all your dreams fade away What would you want for your very own A house built of glass and a hand full of stones Live your life just how you see fit Moving faster now, Time to get on with it No brakes to pump, No end in sight Made all your choices, wrong or right Yet it ain’t no secret where the hell you been With one look in your eyes and the condition you’re in I can see all the dreams haven’t found you I can see all the things all around you I can see all the fiends they surround you I can see all your dreams waste away

The Sleeper 05:30
Reincarnation Is part of the circle Of karmic eternality Our souls are magnetic Drawn to each other Like channels that flow to the sea Ashes are burning Turning dust into dust Lay to rest your weary soul This life was good times Theres no regrets now You never tried to retreat Burned it at both ends Live in the moment Choice was yours to repeat Ashes are burning Turning dust into dust Lay to rest your wicked soul Ill see you in the next life Wont be tomorrow Wont be some day Maybe in another world Or some cosmic astral plane Ill see you in the next life

Ascendant 04:26
Overloaded-Generation-Intellectual-Provocations Artificial Ultra-Intelligence – Interrogations allowed by Ignorance Extensive searching and algorithms What you desire is on display All you purchase, point of interest Feeds the market for those who slay It’s made to keep the slaves in line Overrated And Commercialized-Reverse Engineered And Corrupted Artificial Ultra-Intelligence Interrogations allowed by ignorance Institutions, full of children Unaffected and ashamed to pray An open playground for helter skelter While politicians take rights away It’s how they keep the slaves in line The treasury prints the money To keep the slaves in line Be a good slave Spend your money Overrated And Commercialized-Reverse Engineered And Corrupted Artificial Ultra-Intelligence Interrogations allowed by ignorance

Remember the time When the dreams were alive Within reach and alive Reach and alive Broke all the chains And washed the blood stains No hiding the pain Could not hide the pain An American dream Ain’t always what it seems Take a look at the scene Take a look at the fiends Slide down with me To a little ole place where everybody’s free And it’s all good where I come from Come get some Slide down with me Where you can be you and I can be me And it’s all good what may come Come get some Why can’t we agree? That we will always disagree I’m not taking a knee I just need you to see Let’s cut to the scene Yes, we sold it on the silver screen It was time to believe It was something to see The American Dream It ain’t always what it seems Cause free ain’t exactly free If you know what I mean Yeah Slide down with me To a little ole place where everybody’s free And it’s all good where I come from Come get some Slide down with me Where you can be you and I can be me And it’s all good what may come Come get some As I scurry to the top of the mountain And gaze upon the devastation I see below One nation under purgatory Where liberty and justice devolves Come get some

Engaging all of those in celebration Pour yourself a glass of blood red wine Penetrate with little hesitation Ambitiously relentlessly entwined All the cells collide In interstellar space Where the angels cry And falls from grace The energy of everything surrounds you Push and pull the molecules and light Parallel of all this different matter It’s guiding everything you have in sight All thee cells collide In interstellar space And the angels fly Without a trace Live for tomorrow Love without fear Cherish the Laughter And all that is real Live for the moment Love everyday Remember the Laughter When it all fades away Navigate this instrumental vessel Calculate equations, checking twice Reaching out beyond your expectations Searching for a bird of paradise The cells collide In interstellar space Where the angels fly Without a trace Live for tomorrow Love without fear Cherish the Laughter And all that is real Live for the moment Love everyday Remember the Laughter When it all fades away Live Love Laughter Is all we’re after Where the worlds colide In Intesteller space Where the angles cry When they fall from grace

Undecided 03:47
Slide and get it right
Yeah we're all here for one infectious night
Time is on our side
Come along with me and let it ride
 Could I break these chains
and wear the crown
Undecided
 Slay baby stay
Everything is going to go your way
Sway lady sway
I don't care what anybody say
 Could I break these chains
and should I wearr the crown
Undecided
Would you bring me up
so you can tear me down
Undecided
 I wanna ride the wave
I wanna get high
Where the sun and the tide
collide everyday
 I wanna ride the wave
I wanna ride high
Like Eddie Aikau
In Waimea Bay
 Were the young and the Undecided

Pity Pie 04:28
Can you see I’m feeling down And somewhat suicidal Now that all my heroes are gone And the world just keeps on spinning Like a turntable to this song My mind is so toxic I don’t know what to feel So hard to tell anymore what is real Let go of all my possessions And put my ego aside Reached out in desperation Cause everything else I had tried And my tears kept on pouring Like an apocalyptic rain As all the angels descended Smiled and washed away Cause I’ve been so alone And I’ve been so afraid Yes I know the world is ending And I know who I should blame Guess all I can do is Stand and wave goodbye You get one chance to live But many ways to die When I’m hopeless and helpless When I’m shrouded in shame When I’m losing my battle And demons scream my name They say Just eat your pity pie The crust will make you cry Filled with the hurt inside It’s hard to swallow With spirit wash it down Embodied by the sound Tonight the night, tomorrows gone away Slice up your pity pie The crust will make you cry Filled with the hurt inside It’s hard to swallow With spirit wash it down Turn up the sacred ground Tonight the night, tomorrows gone away
