You call me a coward
When I object your war
Condemn me for asking
What it is we’re fighting for
You call me a coward
When I refuse to kill
Solely for profit
So you can get your high and thrill
You call me a coward
For questioning your lies
Collateral damage
Is no solace when children die
You call me a coward
But I don’t give a damn
No smoke and mirrors
Will ever make me wonder who I am
Men will fight and men will die
Many men will never know why
They’ll come up with a million ways to justify
But murder is murder in His eyes
Men will fight and men will die
Many men will never know why
They’ll come up with a million ways to justify
But murder is murder in His eyes
You call me a coward
For questioning your lies
Collateral damage
Is no solace when children die
You call me a coward
But I don’t give a damn
No smoke and mirrors
Will make me question where I stand
You are the coward
Behind your mighty force
Calling us heroes
Because we plow with no remorse
You are the coward
Within your hallowed halls
With your executive orders
For your belligerent sick cause

Smiling Sacred Smiles

Hallowed heroes have hypocritical haloes
At least so the story’s been told
By victors with pens, devoid of all sins
Till the romans returned seven-fold
Of pharaohs and sparrows and white walled wheelbarrows
I think I prefer oaken doors
That open to find a prophet that’s blind
Surrounded by six token whores
Like a spider she spins a tale about the time when
The lawyers had no one to rob
An age long forgotten, like roses gone rotten
Where teachers held the highest paid jobs
And the tyrants were buying the slaves forced to pave
The pyramids triangular miles
And the people believed in a place that deceived
Human hope as it hung by a rope
And all the while no one saw
That out in the ocean, like a powerful potion
Was a vision contained in a vial
Smiling sacred smiles
And all the while no one saw
That out in the ocean, like a powerful potion
Was a vision contained in a vial
Smiling sacred smiles
As I glide down the face it begins to erase
The place where sensation does thrive
So I change the channel on the rage box’s panel
And groove with a movie that kills
Time like a rhyme but deep down inside
The animal longs to run through the hills
While the sun energizes my soul
And I know where I go pure energy flows
And all the while no one saw
That out in the ocean, like a powerful potion
Was a vision contained in a vial
Smiling sacred smiles
And all the while no one saw
That out in the ocean, like a powerful potion
Was a vision contained in a vial
Smiling sacred smiles
And all the while no one saw
That out in the ocean, like a powerful potion
Was a vision contained in a vial
Smiling sacred smiles
And all the while no one saw
That out in the ocean, like a powerful potion
Was a vision contained in a vial
Smiling sacred smiles

I know this day will come your way
Shake you hard and throw you off your rail
I know it well because I’ve sailed
This very ocean in my day
The more you resist the more you will see
It is only natal to want to break free
The day you will seize like it’s a breeze
And sore above and beyond the trees
And when you look down with a grin or a frown
The man on the ground won’t ever be found
The more you resist the more you will see
It is only natal to want to break free
Your spirit is strong and you’re not afraid
To take on the world and pull your own weight
We’ll meet again so I can tell your tail
Of how you prevailed cause you cared to dare
The more you resist the more you will see
It is only natal to want to break free
Your spirit is strong and you’re not afraid
To take on the world and pull your own weight
The more you resist the more you will see
It is only natal to want to break free
Your spirit is strong and you’re not afraid
To take on the world and pull your own weight
The more you resist the more you will see
The only way to be is when you’re free
The more that you care the more you must dare
It is the only way to seize the day

Reaching deep in my pocket of life
I sense something is missing
And as I kiss another, you know
It is you that I am kissing
I guess I lost your smile
Somewhere along the way
I guess I know now
The things I shouldn’t say
I fight for self-respect
I fight for self-esteem
I fight, I fight all night
I fight for self-respect
I fight for self esteem
But it’s you my mind keep seeing
I tried to find a girl
That would match your fire
But every one I found
Only irks my ire
But that was yesterday
Today is so much brighter
And if you doubt what I have to say
Believe that I must fight her
I fight for self-respect
I fight for self-esteem
I fight, I fight all night
I fight for self-respect
I fight for self-esteem
But it’s you my mind keep seeing
I fight for self-respect
I fight for self-esteem
I fight, I fight all night
I fight for self-respect
I fight for self-esteem
But it’s you my mind keep seeing
How could you choose another
After all that we’ve weighed?
The same old tragic story
Of the prince the princess played
I fight for self-respect
I fight for self-esteem
I fight, I fight all night
I fight for self-respect
I fight for self-esteem
But it’s you my mind keep seeing
I fight for self-respect
I fight for self-esteem
I fight, I fight all night
I fight for self-respect
I fight for self-esteem
But it’s you my mind keep seeing

Burning House

No matter what they say
No matter what they preach
I can smell the bullshit
For miles along the beach
Trespass, no pass
Bold lies and purple prose
Coin toss and overdose
Meant to kill me fast
Some say I am right
Some say I am wrong
What difference does it make
If I go along
No matter if I see
No matter if I read
There’s no room for wise men
There’s no sense, indeed
I see a burning house
Every time I open my eyes
I smell a burning house
With chaos around as disguise
I see a burning house
Every time I open my eyes
I smell a burning house
With chaos around as disguise
Some say I am wrong
Some say I am are right
What I wanna know is
How He sleeps at night
No matter how I feel
No matter if a kneel
Fire will engulf me
As I faint and keel
Some say I am right
Some say I am are wrong
What difference does it make
If I go along
No matter if I see
No matter if I read
There’s no room for wise men
No sense, indeed
I am a burning house
Ready to fall and collide
I am a burning house
With fire raging inside
I am a burning house
Ready to fall and collide
I am a burning house
With fire raging inside

Carving on the wall
My head is on the floor
Crystal chandelier
Sticking from the ground
Paintings upside down
Carpets all around
Gravity's pulling me
Up to the clouds
Thinking makes me sick
The coffee is too weak
Words are twirling,
Swirling, steering
They give me the aches
They colour my mind all the time
In my PJs I'm the DJ
In my PJs I'm the DJ
I haven't much to say
I've nothing to declare
I don't have a gun
I am not aware
Innocence I seek
The one I lost behind
Couldn't tell you where
Or when, or why
I just want it back
I'll trade for what I've got
I just want to care
I don't want to stop
Take me back in time
When all was clear as a day light
In my PJs I'm the DJ
In my PJs I'm the DJ
In my PJs I'm the DJ
In my PJs I'm the DJ
I haven't much to say
I've nothing to declare
I don't have a gun
I am not aware
Innocence I seek
The one I lost behind
Couldn't tell you where
Or when, or why
I just want it back
I'll trade for what I've got
I just want to care
I don't want to stop
Take me back in time
When all was clear as a day light
In my PJs I'm the DJ
In my PJs I'm the DJ
In my PJs I'm the DJ
In my PJs I'm the DJ
In my PJs I'm the DJ
In my PJs I'm the DJ
In my PJs I'm the DJ
In my PJs I'm the DJ

This Wonderful Smack
03:32
|

|
When your blood starts pounding
Inside your veins
Come magic purple haze
With sparks of red
The birds start singing
The sweetest tune
Then you taste, you feel, you breathe
The wonderful smack
The wonderful smack
When your lids get heavy
And you think you’re dead
Your entire room gets swallowed up
Inside your bed
Your mind starts chasing
The dragon’s tail
Then you wane, you fade, you drown
Into the wonderful smack
The wonderful smack
The wonderful smack
The wonderful smack
Now you flirt with it
And now you don’t
Now you dance with it
And now you don’t
Now you sleep with it
And now you don’t
Now you run with it
And now you don’t
Now you fear it
And now you don’t
Now you fight it
And now you don’t
Now you hate it
And now you don’t
This wonderful smack
This wonderful smack
The wonderful smack
The wonderful smack
The wonderful…
Now you flirt with it
And now you don’t
Now you dance with it
And now you don’t
Now you sleep with it
And now you don’t
Now you run with it
And now you don’t
Now you fear it
And now you don’t
Now you fight it
And now you don’t
Now you hate it
And now you don’t
This wonderful smack
This wonderful smack
The wonderful smack
The wonderful smack
The wonderful…

This thing is driving me mad
And I don’t know how long I can take it
My anger’s eating my mind
I’m losing ground and I can’t contain it
I fired up my all my rounds
And now I’m out of ammunition
I should have known from the start
That to destroy me was your mission
But did you stop and rethink
As you were readying to let go of me
Wishing that I would sink
What if I kept the last bullet for you?
I bet you’d do it again
No second thought or hesitation
Will ever test your disdain
When you’re after your aspirations
I should have known from the start
Your only goal was your own agenda
And you would still break my heart
Even though I had surrendered
But did you stop and rethink
As you were readying to let go of me
Wishing that I would sink
What if I kept the last bullet for you?
But did you stop and rethink
As you were readying to let go of me
Wishing that I would sink
What if I kept the last bullet for you?

It’s time for you to understand
You should have helped me when I bled
You could have stretched your wizened hand
It would have saved you too in the end
It’s time for me to understand
The past is gone and here we stand
A wall between us thick and grand
Two worlds apart, two different stances
We are both to blame
For dreams lost in vein
We are both to blame
For them to fade away
Will come a day when we meet again
With silly grins and tales to tell
Remember when it all began
If we could just resume from there
We are both to blame
For dreams lost in vein
We are both to blame
For them to fade away
