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

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?

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?

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
