Picture this
You’re walking on a sidewalk one fine morning
And it seems like everything is fine
You look around before you cross the street
And see the woman who crushed your dreams
You drop the bags that you were carrying as you break down and cry
You look at yourself you miserable human being as strangers pass on by
You scream…
Girl
We should be like Guy Fieri and Steve Harwell
Girl
Why couldn’t we have been like them?
Girl
Why can’t you be my Steve Harwell
Girl
Just go ahead and kick me down the stairwell
You go home on that bad afternoon
And your world is not fine
You try not to think of the photos you burned
Or the memories of haunted dreams
You try to pass time as your life rolls on by
You look at yourself in the mirror and wonder “could this have been any different?”
You scream…
Girl
We should be like Guy Fieri and Steve Harwell
Girl
Why couldn’t we have been like them?
Girl
Why can’t you be my Steve Harwell
Girl
Just go ahead and kick me down the stairwell
But you look in the mirror and nothing’s changed
You’re miserable and haven’t shaved
The odor and pain have taken their toll
As you know you’ve lost your soul
You’re going to change, you’re going to make it
You won’t let some depression take you
The ice of her soul cannot stop anything now
You will go out and make it to flavortown (what did you just say?)
Girl
We should be like Guy Fieri and Steve Harwell
Girl
Why couldn’t we have been like them?
Girl
Why can’t you be my Steve Harwell
Girl
Just go ahead and kick me down the stairwell

Fade Away

Fade away [x4]
Looking into the distance
You see something that’s strange
A man and a lover and a spectral image
But it’s fading, in the mist
Searching inside the darkness
You see a hooded man
A cult and a leader and a increasing tension
But it’s fading, in the mist
Fade away [x4]
Lurking in the shadows
A message comes alive
The man says he needs to relay something
But he’s fading, in the mist
He tells you that there’s something
You need to leave right now
Ride through the desert, across the ocean
Leave this place and lose the mist
Fade away [x4]
You need to leave
There’s something coming
Warnings coming from all directions
Come with us
Join us to reach
The greatest potential that you could dream
Come to the space
And see what makes
The world fall in place
The thoughts you create
There’s not much time
So come to our shrine
Where men is safe
And fear won’t arise
Looking into the distance
You see what’s up ahead
Death and destruction and unholy fire
And it’s growing, in the mist
It’s time to leave this place
To start a brand new life
I’m sick of this fighting and this constant whining
I’m going to the mist

Minivan

Driving my mini van down I-10
Flames and a exit ramp show the speed
Of a car driving past the edge
A mini van flying through the sky
Now I can’t hold on tight
The breaks will prove to fail
I won’t stop without a fight
Unless I stop my mini van from being a sail
Yes
I know what you mean
Stop
Please help me
The world full of cacophony
I can’t stop, not even to breathe
The world is full of it’s full of a mess
And I won’t go down and fail this test
Now everybody’s lost and I don’t know why
Speeding through the desert of a thousand nights
Mountains, valleys, cross my eyes
If I go any faster I think I’ll die
Now I can’t hold on tight
The breaks will prove to fail
I won’t stop without a fight
Unless I stop my mini van from being a sail
Yes
I know what you mean
Stop
Please help me
The world full of cacophony
I can’t stop, not even to breathe
The world is full of it’s full of a mess
And I won’t go down and fail this test

George the Sea Sponge

George the sea sponge
Lived on a reef
Not that far
Away from here
He lived in the sea
In the big blue sea
With the fish
And manatees
But George would filter feed in the reef
One day it came
The terrible day
When sweet old Georgie
Would be split in pain
A fisherman hit him
The hooks that grabbed him
Ripped him apart and he became two
But George would split eternally
He lived in the sea
In the big blue sea
With the fish
And manatees
Please George
Don’t do this to me
Identity crisis
Make the fish flee
George the sea sponge
Is now two
With a shiny twin
Who’s very blue
They live in the sea
In the big blue sea
With the fish
And manatees...

Green blades without veins
Something grabs me but I’ll say
That you look like one though
Leaves of kelp that don’t really show
Dead Man’s Fingers grab a hold of me
Sun shining through a pocketfull of leaves but
Sha-la-la-la-la there’s a guy in a tree
I want to know his name
What’s his name?
WHAT’S HIS NAME?!?!?!?
WHAT!?!?!?!?

As I write this letter from a far away place
Why didn’t you believe me when I said it’s time to leave
I wish that you would have come but you wouldn’t listen
It’ll end with your life and desolation
Why?
Didn’t you listen?
As I’m looking back from this departing ship
I remember all the good times spent in our friendship
Why?
Didn’t you listen?
But the world will end and you will be lost with it
I can’t see why you didn’t understand
I don’t want to accept this truth that everything will come to an end
I’m looking back at memories we shared and all the times we had
I don’t want to accept this truth that everything will come to an end
I won’t believe it, I can’t believe it, why did this happen to me?
Remember that time that we went to best buy and pissed off the clerk for breaking stuff?
Remember the times we shared together? Now it’s gone, it can’t get better
Remember the time we drove cross-country, saw us grow up, getting married?
It can’t get better, it won’t
Why?
Didn’t you listen?

Howling at the Moon

Wake up lost on an empty street
I see a man, he looks at me
Lost in life and nowhere to go
He approaches me and begins to show
A far out place among the sky
I try to envision it with all my mind
A place in the stars full of hope
A place that you and I can call home
A wolf pack hunting finding nothing but leaves
A huntress looking for something finding seeds
A plant growing trying to make its way
But it has nothing to do but learn and grow
But it has me Howling at the Moon
Howling at the Moon [x2]
Two days later and you’re all alone
In an apartment that you don’t even own
Lost in time and space alone
The man approaches and begins to show
A far out place of brick and stone
It’s just a city which no one knows
A place absent of life and hope
A place that you and I will call home
A wolf pack hunting finding nothing but leaves
A huntress looking for something finding seeds
A plant growing trying to make its way
But it has nothing to do but learn and grow
But it has me Howling at the Moon
Howling at the Moon [x4]
In the forest late at night
I see the sky
I look up and see the light
And planes fly by
In the city late at night
I watch him cry
In the darkness of the tide
It rolls on by
The tide rolls on by
[x4]
Don’t let it get you
A wolf pack hunting finding nothing but leaves
A huntress looking for something finding seeds
A plant growing trying to make its way
But it has nothing to do but learn and grow
But it has me Howling at the Moon
Howling at the Moon [x8]

The Power Within
06:19

We’re calling for you
To search the truth
Look through the lies and see the truth
It’s time to decide
To join us or die
Come with us and learn true life
The Power Within
Let it take you for a spin
Boots drop, heads spin seemingly never ending
But it confuses you and throws you off guard
The Power Within will show who you are
Hear the resonance in the distance
Show the people your new purpose
Let them know that you are human
Let them know the Power Within
See the world at war
With secret powers
Look through the peace and see the war
It’s time we stood up
To fight for the cause
Come join us and learn what’s wrong
The Power Within
Let it take you for a spin
Boots drop, heads spin seemingly never ending
But it confuses you and throws you off guard
The Power Within will show who you are
Hear the resonance in the distance
Show the people your new purpose
Let them know that you are human
Let them know the Power Within
As the blood goes through my veins
I feel an awakening
As the madness joins with me
I feel like i’m going insane
As the power courses through me
I feel invincible
As I hear the whispering
I think I’m AGHGHEGHEGH
WHEEEEEE
THE POWER CONTROLS ME
WHEEEEEE
NO FEAR TO BIND ME
WHEEEEEE
NO CONTROL TO HOLD ME
WHEEEEEE
NO ONE TO STOP ME
The Power Within
Let it take you for a spin
Boots drop, heads spin seemingly never ending
But it confuses you and throws you off guard
The Power Within will show who you are
Hear the resonance in the distance
Show the people your new purpose
Let them know that you are human
Let them know the Power Within

Gathered right here at the edge we see the end
And at the end times we see the signs of darkness rise
Nothing to stop this cursed morning of flames rising and storms brewing
Now it’s time for the prophecy to be fulfilled
As I look in the distance I see men of business and eternity
I find that there’s something here missing and I realize it’s not the end times
It’s not the worst time to conceptualize what life would have been like had I not met you
But it’s too late for that I suppose we couldn’t stop this no one could’ve
Looking across the ocean I see acidity rise
In the dark times we see the substance of fear arise
Nothing will stop these medieval times from onsetting again
It’s guaranteed in infinite time for men to end
As I look in the distance I see men of business and eternity
I find that there’s something here missing and I realize it’s not the end times
It’s not the worst time to conceptualize what life would have been like had I not met you
But it’s too late for that I suppose we couldn’t stop this no one could’ve
