The Hive

Sounds like the hive mind is buzzing away
Tortured and swarming chaotic display
The season of reason has led them astray
While drones of the hive mind start stinging their prey.
I am the summer and you are the rain
Giving us reason to gather again
And when the sun peaks through the clouds the next day
We'll change direction and strip you of fame.
I'm just a bee in the hive of today
Spreading the pollen for those to obey.
The queen of the hive mind has got me to play
The game of acceptance and banish my name.
I am the summer and you are the rain
Giving us reason to gather again
And when the sun peaks through the clouds the next day
We'll change direction and strip you of fame.
I'm just a bee, on my own I can't sway
The minds of a million one zombies of prey.
Open your hearts to a world bright and gay
One bees enough to bring joy a long way.
I am the summer and I am the rain
Forget all your troubles and wash them away.
Smoke out the hive, stomp on the queen
No leader should play all their people with schemes.

Fallen Star

Bumps in the road
Is a funny way to say you're on my mind.
And I know,
You're the only star I've followed all by life.
People
A thousand years from now will sing your songs as hymns
So I will carry you
Like you carried me
Across the airwaves
Your message will live on
When I play your swan song.
Triumphs with the gold
Mean nothing to me if you're not in my life.
Godspeed to Hell
All the people who claim power at your fall.
Through a million years
Our names will still appear on the roads that we paved to get here

Blue Strawberries II

Do you still wear it?
Did you keep the blue strawberry,
Or did it cause you harm?
If you still have it
Can you reinvent my memory,
Or does that go too far?
I can't reason why I care,
It's like I miss you or something...
Do me this favor baby,
I haven't asked for too much more.
If I don't see it I'll go crazy cuz
It's such a lovely piece on you,
Reminds me of the times I'd drive to
Pick you up to go to the lake
And we'd run off till the dark.
You'd point up to show me the sky
And I'd get lost in your eyes.
I can't reason why I care,
It's like I miss you or something...
Please wear that blue strawberry
On that silver chain for me one more time.

Always On My Mind
02:54

She drags her feet when she walks
Cuz she wants to stay grounded,
But even when she talks she floats around
My beating heart and reaches out to grab it,
Just like she did so long ago...
And you can't say I didn't try
To read the story in your eyes.
You left me something from those times,
Now you're always on my mind.

And I only ever dreamt to hear you say that!
It truly is the gift I've waited for.
The world is colder now than was on your shoulder
Those many years ago you pushed me away.
And the sun did hang in overcast
To see if we'd go far.
And the only thing I ask of you
Is to let me take you there...
I didn't buy a ticket for this ride
And now I think I just want to get off.
I never thought I'd get so down and out now.
I guess that's what I get for sticking around.
And the only thing I ask of you
Is to let me take you there;
In our Shangri-La where the moon hangs high,
But i guess that isn't fair.
And the only thing I ask of you
Is to let me take you there.
Oh, don't mind me, it's just my
Same old selfish attitude.

[Untitled]

My heart keeps racing...
Across the room I'm pacing.
Your silhouette keeps changing
The shape of my mood.
I'll soon be learning
That time will keep on turning.
The answers always lurking,
It's shrill and it's lewd.
Every piece of me I un-thread
You wanna sew into
A better piece of me
So he can wear it and you'll always be thinking of me.
My mind is waning.
I've been hallucinating.
All the while waiting
For something else new.
My heart keeps beating.
Inside my head I'm screaming.
My cigarette keeps burning
At each breath she drew...
Every piece of me I un-thread
You wanna sew into
A better piece of me
So he can wear it and you'll always be thinking of me.

Taking Over
02:47

Let's bring it back to our roots,
It's all been said and done before.
No one ever said that you'd be anything more.
I've looked into the eyes of disaster and
Now I'm taking over.
Even though I keep my hair long
I am not like him.
Lasting impressions you've left me
And she, who dragged me though this mess.
Like a movie with the most spine-tingling happy end,
I though things were perfect when we first met.
I should have seen him on your shoulder exposing me to this dread
Now it's taking over.
Even though I keep my hair long
I am not like him.
Lasting impressions you've left me
And she, who dragged me though this mess.
Let's bring it back to our roots before it's over.
Take back the dawn, free from the darkness.
Let's bring it back to our roots, it's almost over...
Even though I keep my hair long
I am not like him.
Lasting impressions you've left me
And she, who dragged me though this mess.

Why'd you have to go and write yourself off like that?
It should have been me to tie the noose around your neck.
Now I'll never get the chance to show you how I really feel.
Why'd you have to go and play me for a fool like that?
I really should have checked, I kinda thought that loose looked noose...
I guess you're coming with me when I blow this whole place down.

It's So Pathetic
02:28
|
|||
|
I'm going crazy at the thought that I won't make it through.
I'm getting lazy with the fact that I can't be with you.
It's so pathetic, apathetic, and I know it's true.
Melodramatic is the card I play to find my muse and,
I drench myself in your activities and really cheep beer
Just wishing I was anywhere but here.
Fucked up again, now here I am,
While you have found a better man.
This is the first time I have heard you voice in many years,
To hear you laugh brings back the times I didn't live in fear.
It's so pathetic, apathetic, and I know it's true.
Melodramatics the picture I burned to feel my youth, and
I drench myself in your activities and really cheep beer
Just wishing I was anywhere but here.
Fucked up again, now here I am,
While you have found a better man.
