caught in an old time-honored code don't worry i won't be long keep your strawberry sweet with wisdom it's absurd these words as you lay with me i swear were meant to be the kind of gesture for someone who contributes more to society i must thank you for this blanket truth (chorus: little is ever said no need to spark your interest my joyous eyes are truly wandering looking at you) you just wait i'm always late i'm busy accepting fate on time but never in the day it's the cause of my flaws you know it's me my strange tendency wide awake with no sleep and i've held it up for weeks learn this one addiction (chorus)

mortal souls are you listening as the angels are whistling a tune you've never heard but you've trained yourself to learn my song as you sing along questions rise with a matter of concern the answer is yes you may guess my name (chorus: you should tell may as well i'm going off to join the ranks i want to know if i should pack my things and go) a man in a three-piece suit says hi it's so nice to finally meet you so i meet joe black and face my facts and i wouldn't dare my bring my souvenirs because heaven knows i'm getting old and i sure as hell won't be needing them here the answer is yes you may guess my name (chorus)

i'm given direct orders to tear you away like the perforated edges of a gentle white-skinned middle man proves his control again you've got marks all over many a-battle ensued little if anything left and only time to lose what's it gonna cost you it's a life worth living but it'll cost you this home is in a shady part of town sign away your soul says skeleton the noxious life or death form i winced upon triangular jabs to the vault fiscal wounds i fail to absolve swipe my chosen life catch out of the corner of my eye protruding chalices manual destroyer arrives with the inklings and their malices well i hope you sulk in supplements inside your paper palaces he's the experience you're the experience what an experience the maladroit says swipe my chosen life

train it keeps repeating every road tie in a day draining out my apathy with a dragon i tried to slay disdain of all dormant debris in the clay it's plain to see that moral order decays (chorus: pallbearer aware of her trifling whites capricious plight all's well and i hope for the royalty is to be happy relinquish everything you and me ever had i know it's so very much too hard to see) rudimentary compliments a dose of perilous reminders of the song to sing disclosed a narrative of how it is you lost your wedding ring soon an envelope will oddly show up to bring news concerning a poltroon under influence of (chorus)

good news it's too early for a chance to leave this town why you got your coat on take a seat and stick around let me tell you got my own plan and i'm gonna live it out my favorite shirt is missing look for my heart in the lost and found laughing kissing everyone and i ain't having too much fun (chorus: i know it's crazy that's life don't hate me mother (please/i'll) be patient soon enough (i'll/you'll) come around) conscience is freaking me out losing it with every stride saving every exclamation walking into hell despite a battle neither lost or won never was it wrong or right is it so hard to believe missionary's got a narrow mind dancing rioting everyone and you ain't having too much fun (chorus) god it feels so good to be this liberated so heavily sedated soon enough you'll come around soon enough i'll come around

in his sweet suspended lust and molotov cocktails are being worse abandon ship this one looks like it's sinking me i'll just keep to myself ask for nothing (chorus: employees rapists customers in the wrong line it's a place we hold when it's time to unwind write me my check i'm taking a holiday with my best efforts of being a source of DNA) i must admit during this time i was conscious knowing full well the payments of my actions i was there at the fall of the berlin wall when these images of my conquests can't be avoided inside my head (chorus) (chorus)

poor innocent man got your shackles issued to you again content with a life less grand i'll be waiting in an amateur disguise take you through the silk screen skies prolix madrigals won't tell me why i'm supposed to conjure up a sweet fleeting memory satisfaction guaranteed and i feel something blocking equanimity and you swear it's the bad dreams i had when i was eighteen let the mirror show the hopeless side of me with only time to kill and cigarettes to burn behind a gargantuan wall one thousand miles wide dear heavenly misdemeanors says it to you i get my fill and now with smiles so wide we're off to play hide and seek
10.
sweating off sparrows and context clues she claims to be awake across state stories float in the well of a life so swell effortless eulogies remain (chorus: stay would you please for the cavalcade before an insane hollow spoils your day) wells fargo deposit for the ever koneiving creatures within a calcium cast sincerely i reside in oilville ugly books kindly take your leave (chorus) smells of the underground pangaea morte a la machina as we all to the surface surfing for a purpose and a lonely hole to plug the wall and outburst condoned conflict expressions surrounded by frowns saving my everyday face
11.
only roads spread the germs dig it up and collect crawl on me sitting sweet scraping every crevace of my self righteous teeth solace flows with the fish of no concern where they go cancerous fiends never obscene purity a concern for the obsolete retrieve your soul take a particular value in something to never be sold who knew such a sketchy vagrant to be so bold polymath shogun show some respect polymath shogun master of infect whether a parasite or a nightlife twin either way you win preceding warrior sins bandit of grins either way you win polymath shogun cyanide king polymath shogun the pied piper's ring this rope is taught suspending all you brought he's getting loose shaking from the obtuse apex plunges to a stint in the dungeon filibuster cerebral cluster

i need not be reminded of particular methods with which to carry on cliffhanger a soldier i can't seize stabs in the back the moment you leave is this another examination or am i just the unchosen faded one i get behind a rolodex appointments all in order who the hell is next who's next in your game of eyesores look at me with no place to be not in desperate need of your carbon based sympathy (chorus: i'm not looking for anything) complications exist only in the turntable of time etched in sympathy and a tranquil vision blinded only to thine eyes (chorus) it's just that my mind is more aware of things (chorus) bent beliefs anything shipwreck epilogue is gone already too far along in the stair-step process of grief he's boasting slums an ideal location for revelation don't bother waking up all of life's destroyed except for the cheap ones don't wake the setting sun some day i'll shed my fears there's no hope for my head when i'm living here

tell me how long does it take to fall 'cause babe i'm just hanging on tell me that you made the great escape tell me this is just another catastrophe waiting for me tell me this is all that i can take (chorus: maybe it's the heart that we must fix maybe it's the chemicals we mix i'll be okay in a few days) tell me that the voice inside my head is speaking the truth i'm telling you i finally ran away i'm telling i've had enough with a life and religion decided by luck i'm telling you i ain't the only one afraid (chorus) tell me that my days are numbered i'm becoming just another poor little boy who lost his way tell me that my own life is an excuse to relive your greatest times tell me this is all that i can take

about

this is my first chapter in music. it took three years to finish, and since then i've grown as a person and thus a musician as well; therefore, i can assure you the second chapter will sound almost nothing like this. nonetheless, i'm proud of every song on here, and i hope that everyone can find at least one of the fourteen that connects with him/her. i can't charge you for this, it just wouldn't be right. all i can do is happily accept a $3.00 donation (three years, seems right). so please name the price of $3.00 or $0.00, and i will gladly take either one. thank you.
