Aaaah crap! What’s the first line?
Naturally I get writer’s block with all of this free time.
I can’t quit. It’s just the first song!
Hopefully I’ll recapture it before it’s gone too long.

Stephen:
I’m supposed to be alone in Barcelona but corona cancelled the trip,
Now I’m talking to myself out loud at home hiding out trying not to contract this shit.
Neimah:
It’s a global pandemic
Because failures systemic
Spiraling multiple epidemics.
There’s no ethics!
Culturally disregarding our medics.
Call the behavior inhuman but you know its endemic
My songs are anthemic
My rhymes are alchemic
My enemies can’t handle these screeds and polemics
If you’re ever lucky enough to be in my proxemic
One word of advice:
Don’t be anti-semetic!
Stephen:
I’m supposed to be alone in Barcelona but corona cancelled the trip,
Now I’m talking to myself out loud at home hiding out trying not to contract this shit.
Yashar:
Yo cuz:
Vaccines disperse as I rhyme on this verse,
The rhetoric is terse, as our leaders asperse.
Can’t we learn to converse, as we're feeling the thirst?
For better or for worse, bring an end to this curse!
If we work together, wouldn't that be a first?
What the hell can we do, when life's in reverse?
I'm feeling averse to the back of the hearse;
When does it end? Anon, good nurse!
Stephen:
I’m supposed to be alone in Barcelona but corona cancelled the trip,
Now I’m talking to myself out loud at home hiding out trying not to contract this shit.
Watching as the time passes, staring out at painted glass, hoping that my weed will last,
Oh no, here we go: into the great unknown!
~News Clips~
Stephen:
Watching as the time acts and its happening so fast but the days are going past so slow
Here we go: into the great unknown!

Illegal underground competitive eat fighting has spread across the land
Those its totally illegal, its also really a thing,
And if you are the champion it’ll pay for your bling bling!

Pursuit

Now that I know about you I can’t let you go
You can run and hide from me
I’ll follow you wherever you go
Obsession
Pursuit
Preoccupation
I’m coming for you
I’m in the shadows
Behind your back
You won’t know when I will attack.
Reach out
You have no idea
You haven’t got a clue
I’m coming up behind you,
In the game of cat and mouse we play
I think I got you right where I want you
And then I watch you slip away...
Fixation
Pursuit
Preoccupation
I’m coming for you
I’m in the shadows
Behind your back
You won’t know when I will attack.
Reach Out
You have no idea
You haven’t got a clue
Audrey:
I will never give up
I will never.

Dogs, cats and birdies,
Reptiles and fishies too,
Gonna take music to the people,
Interrupt their day of online school.
Animals going on tour!
Groundhog’s dragging the bass drum,
Vulture’s got the keys to the van (cause its dead!),
Froggie is booking us a hotel,
Charge it to “The Fuzzy-Furry Band”.
Animals going on tour!

Ain’t got a choice, my time is up.

Reckless at a Funeral
05:03
|
|||
|
Chase all the wretched hours away,
From your sainted, sober mind.
Outside, the garden's gone to grey,
But there's no rule to recognize.
Reckless at a funeral,
Cornered like a crime,
(Like a crime you know)
You can't make it beautiful,
Though you try, I know you try, I know you
And I'm beginning to disappear.
It's getting tighter in the shade,
While we watch witness take the floor.
Once, there were supplicants to save,
But they don't live here any more.
Severed from the evidence,
Every record, rise.
(Rise to fall again)
You can't fell your deference,
In the time it takes to shape a cross to climb.
And I'm beginning to disappear.
They'll run the gallows down some day,
To salt the soil where they rose.
I thought the ghosts were gone to stay.
But in these alleys, nothing grows.
Delicate as discipline,
Shivering and shy.
(Why so shy, my love?)
You can't cut the firing pin,
When you're reeling with the will to civilize.
And I'm beginning to disappear.

Try to get by anyway that you can.

One of these days your pain will end.

Wish You Were Here
04:51
|

|
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war
For a leading role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here

No Safe Assumptions
01:02
|
|||
|
Victor of circumstance,
A head of yourselves,
Allies and adversaries,
All burning in hell.
Show your true nature,
Disgusting display,
You look like a clown,
As you dig your own grave.
No safe assumptions!
(You better fucking ask somebody.)
Deceive all you can
With your ill gotten clout.
Set it all on fire on your way out.
~ Maniacal Laughter ~
Everything we touch tends to wither and die
No one can ever teach you how to survive
All the things you think about life are a lie
If you need an example just look at you and I.
OUGH!

But I never thought it would be this difficult.

Some eggs were laid to never be hatched.
Tomorrow.

Take Me Home
05:40
|
|||
|
Take that look of worry
I'm an ordinary man
They don't tell me nothing
So I find out what I can
There's a fire that's been burning
Right outside my door
I can't see but I feel it
And it helps to keep me warm
So I don't mind
No I don't mind
Seems so long I've been waiting
Still don't know what for
There's no point escaping
I don't worry anymore
I can't come out to find you
I don't like to go outside
They can't turn off my feelings
Like they're turning off a light
But I don't mind
No I don't mind
Oh I don't mind
No I don't mind
So take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home Oh Lord,
'Cause I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you
Take that look of worry
Mine's an ordinary life
Working when it's daylight
And sleeping when it's night
I've got no far horizons
And I wish upon a star
They don't think that I listen
Oh but I know who they are
And I don't mind
No I don't mind
Oh I don't mind
No I don't mind
So take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
Well I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you
But I don't remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don't remember
