Castles 02:24
And I see with my eyes And I talk with my mouth And I point with my finger And I hear with my ears And I taste with my tongue And I scream with my mind And I run with my feet And I sing with my throat If you could just make a date to sit, focus and meditate on the great ways That your body functions to survive then you would simply realize all the good that you could and that you should

It was Christmas time and I sang some songs of mine To all my future friends On a street before the south freeway called Calumet Where our fates had met Drum kick kicked in Guitar strings strummin We sweated till our balls itched A flop palace galore where art mattered more But not to say we never got bored Chorus; But as it has and always will The Birth heralds the Death And all the excess made a mess when those hipsters left And in the end the art of our friends will be of that time and place But the hour's late and I cannot stay And now Jaime's trashcan is always full

I know all the things I have to know I can be anything I wanna be I feel emotions that can't be real Tongue tied is the patriot of me inside If I just could separate the left from the right silence all the talk show spite See you out, till the end polls are down it's the phrase of the question This is a letter to the senator Representative 56th from the 111th Congress I can sense your campaigns all a hit and I know you'll be the President How to say, well if the people suck then the leaders will suck and then we're all pretty fucked See ya out, till the end with all the joy and ballons at your reelection!

Well I told you that I loved you but you're a psychopath! But at least your mine so I know your gonna be on time
5.
I feel in love with the Black Swan She ballet her way right into my heart a tortured ballerina, her soul was torn apart and she took me when I was broken in two and made me new! I need a lover's touch to smooth and spark my mind The stress has been building up and your just my type Ask the Black Swan for some love for my wounded soul After all, I'm pretty, as the expression goes! Her love is heavy so I buy it by the pound And she's twice as nice as this song is making her sound! Oh where could she be? Retrieve at once and return it back to me! Please oh! Can't, can't ya see? It's love and desire tied with pain and shame Unrequited love, that's the name of the game! But the Black Swan swooped me up and out the window flew my luck Till it came back as a baby duck
6.
Down the county line behind the burnt pines A blaze turned wood into ash And all was black from the stump to the grass The fire had had the last laugh and the charcoal and dust, it was all too much The bomb dropped down No one heard a sound Till the birds burst into flames Men of pride had to decide who would live and who would die The Doomsday Clock had struck 11:55 And the world was blinded by the light
7.
Oh Gina we'll find the time! We'll stay together forever! And I knew there was something about ya And your hair has no compare! But I know that you won't, well, want to share your love with me Well, if you won't , I'll just have to go on in my lonely misery

Remmy 03:18
Energy zappin' blown out outlets Lighting storm forms I hold my breath Then I hear the boom like a crack of a whip! Then I died No! No, not I, it's not my time! White light, white heat like Lou said Shock spark x-rayed my head Lighting storm forms thought it'd rain instead then I got struck down dead! I'm pissed, I can feel the buzz in my fingertips Give an electron a kiss and you'll be burnt to a crisp! The watts inside had fried my mind left no doubt, when my right eye popped out! Remmy! Remmy!
9.
Has it all been a waste? A fruitless goose chase? Of struggle and strife and headache and heartache? All my life I've tried to make myself in Art but from the start, I knew it wouldn't come from my head but instead from all the years of wringing and all the years of stinging my lil old heart So the things I pursued lead me to a collision catastrophe And it's true, all the pain that was brought to bear came down because of me I thought I loved you but I was just in love with the past I felt like the die had been cast my whole world collapsed and I just didn't wanna give the psychopath the last laugh and that battles for another day and some way, I'll sew together my two halfs Now I'm telling you, so you don't have to go through what I went through! And please take my advice don't be an artist that is trapped by your doomed love for your muse that is unless you want to lose So when I said I loved you I was just being a psychopath!

Shucks 02:28
There is someone for everyone That someone can't be there all the time I don't wanna name names but that someone just won't be mine Shucks! That really sucks You think you know somebody but then they teach ya something new! And you wish you had never learned but instead had stayed the fool And if you're taking home the cheap cheese I ought to warn ya of the trouble it can bring The mouse will fuck in the house if ya know what I mean And it'll crack up the rat pack Oh but you didn't think of that And now you're just bound for a heart attack And if you think the peril's passed all the cries, sob tears of the past open your eyes, look in the mirror! Know you cannot last And you will die, all in good time I'm never on time
