I'm the Disaster

I'm the disaster, and you're the aftermath
last of the answers, and the first to know
I'm the captain of all that goes down now
what can't happen here is happening now that we've
turned on, tuned in, and turned up loud
fighting the feeling that you're falling backwards
hardly believing you're hauling asswards
when will you realize to love's to understand
under the ego hides a stunted little man
naming the masters of your catastrophes
faster than asking what the answers could be
take some names and kick some ass, then fall back
'cause everybody's trying to ride for free
they all should stand up and be proud
crying for reasons that you can't remember
calling it treason when your heart surrenders
the world is altered when you step outside the door
the wings of butterflies, the breaths you breath do more
empires and buildings fall, while trees grow just the same
throughout, the ego goes by any other name
the world seen through your eyes
keeps staring back at you
right through that cheap disguise
into the place where love awaits your signal

Everything You Know
04:41

we philosophize
as fighters are fighting a rising tide
as the waters rise
they fall in behind one among the wise
as he says:
better to lead than to follow
to bluff, than to swallow the tears from another's eyes
better to eat than be eaten
defeat only greets those who open their hearts too wide
armed with sinner's guilt, these directions will do fine
a third rail power trip resurrection, your disciples are mine
but among these children
there are men few and far in between
heroes with iron fists and primal screams
better to lend than to borrow
then feed on that sorrow, to bend where the others break
you've got to change with the seasons
unleash all your demons, and become the thing you hate
armed with sinner's guilt, these directions will do fine
a third rail power trip resurrection, your disciples are mine
but among these children
there are men few and far in between
heroes with iron fists and primal screams
how do we sow the seeds we sow? we do it row by row
how do you turn lead into gold? the alchemistry is not unknown
a hand for a hand, a hand to hold
supply and demand demands you find
an alternative to everything you know

Monticello
04:18
|
|||
a man's land she knew as home
it's not something sentimental
it's a detrimental circumstance
a woman's hand worked to the bone
be it of love, or hate, or both
it's a labor that's not her own
soft is the sacred pillow
at Monticello
a secret vino
deep in the weeping willows
at Monticello
a secret vino
how can you know,
when one of you has no say,
that a lover loves you back?
and is a crime, committed,
called one of passion
if nobody's got your back?

Your Real Life
04:02
|
|||
a mirror in a mirror, a million doors
a scene underwater as seen from shore
an uncertainty that might certainly mean more
visions recurring in this old place
like an image of your life as seen from space
look where you've been, this is where you are
don't forget your gut: you've never really been that far
not 'till your real life starts catching up to you
will you realize you've gone in circles
your real life is catching up to you
do you realize you're here at...
I've been watching you look at yourself
I've watched you look through to someone else
that seems to notice you
and it throws you for a loop then back again
tell me, now, what just happened here?
tell me, are you someone I should fear
or should embrace?
in either case, it doesn't matter
'cause I'm happy just to get this far
not 'till your real life starts catching up to you
will you realize you've gone in circles
your real life is catching up to you
do you realize you're here at all?
(wicked guitar solo)
now that your real life has caught back up to you
you realize you've gone in circles
your real life has caught back up to you
do you realize you've got it all?

Mozart Is Laughing
04:11

you make it go 'till I make it stop
you start to slow 'till I speed up
each day's a gift, and each night's a rift
let's open both to be sure
Mozart is laughing again
'cause what's wrong with you
is what's wrong with everything
Mozart is laughing again
you think it's bad, I'll make it worse
they'll think I'm mad, but it's better
to just let it slip 'till I crack the whip
then we can moan together
and when I see your eyes un-scrutinize my mind
it pushes everything away
you never take time just to read my mind
you can hem, you can haw, you can make that climb
gonna put it in a book, try to get around time
are you gettin' how I feel? are you gettin' my mind?
it's easy to get lost, so here, take my hand
you lend advice with just one request
my darkest vice at your pleasure
to un-sheath the knife in this holy air
of canine's blood we can share
Mozart is laughing again
'cause what's wrong with me
is what's wrong with everything
Mozart is laughing again
