War Song 03:41
War Song Lately feels like we’re moving backwards Why not invent more things to destroy the earth Lets send our kids to war maybe there’s more out there to conquer as our own build some new homes. And if there’s culture out there, or something with character Well diversity -- may be ----to strange ----- for me…. We’ll take over assimilate. Our ancestors will hate us. Establish democracy, this hypocrisy? Beef up the military, market the armory. Be big players on the world stage It’s nations with weapons in rage there’s no curiosity of all this animosity and no matter how hard we try it’s going to take all of us to have peace on our side. And everytime they drop a bomb killing children and innocents till it’s gone And there’s no end in sight because of pre-emptive strike. So way to go look what you’ve done. It’s us against them and nobodies won and no one can hide all this genocide. Beef up the security, Send in the military be big players on the world stage it’s nations with weapons in rage And no matter how hard we try. It’ll take all of us to have peace on our side.

Cosmic Dust 04:36
Cosmic Dust ignition everywhere. I’ve been hearin bleeding eardrums. compound everybody talking bout the same things, everybody knows just what the new day brings. better smarten up right now my friend better know what your leaving behind. better smartin up my friend. Better realize that in the end it’s you. take a look around. at what we’ve found and what we’ve made of ourselves and think where’s your place in this do you know where you’ll go will you take the risk and go where your heart knows who knows but you will find out and you’ll realize if you’ve gone astray or fakin all this time so realize your dreams. You cheesy bastard you, you know it ain’t what it seems. we’ll find ourselves ome way. Hopefully the easy way and not the too complicated way. I’ll take the risk my dear. I”ll take it without fear or any tears and I got the time for you. All the things that you do. The things I plan on going through and I realize my friend I see it’s just you and me and all these little tradgedies so lets be strong at everything you do know that it’s all everbodies everything and everyone is ever going through It relation; understanding all the nations. get our minds together all kinds of weather we aint suffering any other kind of universal separation so collaborate yourselves and realize the change and rearrange you know the actions must be done we are the lazy ones and you know when we realize the change it’ll inevitably come to us for all to share and survival of the fittest is still there it’s just you and me and all of us this universe and cosmic dust.

Ain’t got no money Ain’t got no money to follow you Honey that’s all And I can’t decide if it’s real It ain’t funny at all You better believe it I can conceive it Realize you I can despise you After so many wasted days of mine And so many wasted paces of mine I can’t see too many feelings this time I should have know you were empty inside your mind So honey I’m through with you I guess I kind of regret meeting you But I won’t waste anymore time Thinking of you You better believe it I can conceive it Realize you I can despise you After so many wasted days of mine And so many wasted paces of mine Ain’t got no money to follow you Honey that’s all And I can’t decide if it’s real It ain’t funny at all

Lupa Song Listen darling I’ve got something to say to you, All the good things and bad things you do, Amount to something. The building blocks of you. And all the good things, I see it in your smile. And all the bad things you’ll forget after a while. Amount to something the building blocks of you. You’re the sweetest girl that I have ever known. Your surprise, a creation of your own. Tell me darling all these things you know. The sweetest things in life fall from your hands. It all depends on the position that you stand. I know one thing all these things you do, I contribute to, And all the good things you’ll see it in my smile. All the bad things I’ll forget after a while Tell me darling what is it in your smile? You’re the sweetest girl that I have ever known. Your surprise, a creation of your own. Tell me darling all these things you know as you grow. You’re my darling no one can take that away you’re the best thing It’s easy just to say you’re my darling will you stay this way?

Countryside 02:12
Country Song I’ve been sitting on the country side Contemplating my life Thinking about the sun outside watching things just pass me by Oh I love my country side there I can take the time Think about things that I’ve done Where I think I belong Future gone and futures passed happy memories last time to think about all the things I could do without I don’t know where days have gone living in the city where things are wrong how I love the country side where it feels I like my life things of past and things to come givin and the getting some I can see so far and there’s no one near It’s amazing there’s not much to hear here’s a place where you feel no fear Cept inner demons in your tears

Groovey 01:55
Groovey I’ve been waiting for this thing a long time. Knew I could play music and I rhyme. People talking what I’m about. Well these illusions, I’ll do with-out. Nothing else gives me this satisfaction. Writing music’s just cause and reaction. I’ll just continue creating sounds. Until I reach a higher ground. So I thought I might have people hear it. And perhaps they would like to get near to it. Even better if they could agree with it, oh shit. So all the things I say better adhere to it

Turn off your cell phones please turn off your laptops in the trees Just wanna hear the breeze Birds singing, buzzing bees But everywhere I go, radio. And everything I see tonight Is disappointing me because I I just came to the woods to be Because I want to live naturally. I think the weather is the only truth Unless it’s coming from one of you Only believe what is What's passed what there ever is Wherever I may go Who knows And everything I see tonight Is fascinating me because I found Endless opportunity When I Manifest destiny.

Now & Then 03:18
Now & Then I’ve been searching looking, trying to find something in this cityline that does something positive to my mind Instead of dwelling in the negative of humankind. Now and then which is practically always I think about the good ol days, and wonder where they went. And sometimes I’ll find myself reeling trying to recreate the feeling only to find myself spent. Its days like these, I’ll go out to the trees. Recharge my batteries and alter the way I see. It’s good to be grateful, harmful to be hateful and the key to my freedom belongs to me. Gonna follow my road, pass the crossroads I’m not gonna falter I’m gonna be bold And if the path leads to no where well at least I’ll get there Gonna shape my reality until I impload. There’s gonna be shit that’ll drag me down, confuse me dilute me or make me unsound. And if I can I’ll try to deny it, or maybe I’ll hide it somewhere in the ground.

Please Me 03:38
Please me Can I ask you a favor Can you think about me love? When I see your behavior Well it confuses me a lot. Don’t you know there’s others out there Don’t you know that we’ve been waiting love. Get your head on love. If there’s something there your not quite sure of Please me or leave. Tell me does it occur, There may be someone else out for you love. Maybe it happens I’m not sure Maybe your out there looking do you love? I’m having trouble just believing That you, your not leaving love. Get your head on love. If there’s something there your not quite sure of Please me or leave. Oh have mercy love You know it hurts me a lot Please me or leave It’s been like this for quite a while And this is nothing new to me love. Don’t you notice I don’t smile, Quite as much As I used to love I don’t know how much longer I can wait for you to come around

I Doubt It 03:23
Met a lot of faces. People I don’t know. Been a lot of places. I probably shouldn’t go. And I realize we’re all slightly traumatized But that doesn’t mean I should know You might question what I’m doing with my life, well I don’t doubt it. Well I don’t need to focus on all of that strife, I’ll do without it. I’ve seen a lot of races Cultures I don’t know. In vast and crowded places, Where boundaries don’t grow. And I realize it’s all slightly problematic But that doesn’t mean we should go. You might question what I’m doing with my life, but I doubt it. You don’t need to focus on all of that strife, you’ll do without it. I’ve seen many good things come to those who wait. Those kind of life changing things that transform our fate. And I realize we’re all slightly micro-sized, But that doesn’t mean we should grow. You might question what I’m doing with my life, but I doubt it. I don’t need to focus on all of that strife, I’ll do without it.

Wary Heroin 03:11
Wary heroin Your heads a turning, that mind that’s blurrin. Your perception, pure sensation. Wary heroin Sketchy PCP (2x) Wind me up untie me, don’t try to confine me. Circlin yellin, screamin and smellin. Sketchy PCP, sketchy PCP Sicko crystal meth Puss is drainin scabs are bleedin, you seem tired yet still your so wired Sicko crystal meth. You’re an ill one crystal meth. Crook crack Another rock to burn another dime less earned. Stuck in the doorway I guess that’s just your way of proven what you’ve learned. Crook crack Mellow THC Kind of makes me hungry. Eternally giggly. Contemplative, also in a state of mellow. THC.
