1. Free Burning
Lights alive tantalize
Littered streets of despair
Weaving thru the fabric�s ooze
Sneaking with silent care
Darkness moving down the hall
Creeping sounds creaking out
Shadowy shapes, black in form
Bump the room door sound
The room door sound
Free burning
Rolling in, destined to find a place
Free burning
Sparks of light
Free burning
Rolling in
Free burning
Past the little red burning, burning wagon along the walls
The walls are tuning of grey
Living balloons circle part of the room
Down, down in the corner, in the corner to play
So go upstairs to the attick packed
Where knowledge and books and pictures become one
In the scheme of things
Once something�s finished
There�s alway something to be done
Free burning
Savoring the minute at hand
Free burning
Flames are high
Free burning
Savoring
Free burning
In the race to capture the chase
After all is done and done
Forgetting what memory finds
Start anew, star anew with more to lose
Return to the scene of the grime
2. Policy
Deep in the underground
A subculture endures
The barrier test of time
But the ideal still lures
Living only knows
A blood born career
Self-governed business
Down generations
Year after year
Self-governed business
Down generations
Calm, cool and collected
Is the boss of bosses
Crystal clear the vision
Thru colored lenses
And the lines of their influence
Build the strong connections
Street level gangsters
Exchanging lives for protection
Street level gangsters
Exchanging lives
An offer you can�t refuse
Business as usual
An offer you can�t refuse
I leave the choice to you
You choose
Born in this house of war
Fire burns in my head
Incorrigible tour
Thru the resting ground
Of the relatived dead
Cut down suddenly
Fervor for life running dry
Crisis of identity
When the whole of life is
Wasting time
Time
Wasting time
This code of silence I take
With honor, respect and pride
No wrong moves made
In the flowing realm
Of organized rhyme
Down generations
Year after year
Self-governed business
An offer you can�t refuse
Business as usual
An offer you can�t refuse
I leave the choice, leave you the choice
Policy
3. Lift
Don�t want no more of your white-tie dinner clothes
You�re like a snake in the grass and it�s time to mow
Carelessly, you let the angry flame burn
This time I teach, this time you learn
Fill my prescription, fill my cup
Tell me the right thing, lift me up
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up
Up above your depressing confession
Thru barbed wires of oppression
Soon comes the day
We break loose of the tie
The and only then
A true freedom high
Fill my prescription, fill my cup
Tell me the right thing, lift me up
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up
Hand in hand with the bad news
Still, live our lives wearing our own shoes
Although we are weary, with backs to the wall
You can bet we won�t be taking a fall
He who learns from his past
Is he who laughs
Last
Fill my prescription, fill my cup
Tell me the right thing, lift me up
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up
4. Bringer
Temptation
Leading you astray
Lustful obsession
Tearing you again
Uncertain choice
Indecisively made
Ambivalently sitting on a fence
Right hand man
The tempered fury in your hand
Pain, suffering
Bitter daemon seed
Lured to the palace of wisdom
With thoughts of grandeur
Drained of sensitivitry
Left alone, as a stranger
Spite and suspicion erodes your mind
Paranoia whispers in your ear
Confidence is being pushed aside
Inflated by maniacal fear
Inside you
Deep down deep
Beneath polite and friendly mystique
Within the pit of your soul
Waiting for you to let to
The bringer
The bringer
The bringer
The alienation comes
From being a suspect
From being a suspect
The bringer of bad vibes
Flawlessly perfect
For the road to salvation
Is lined with desperation
Withered by time
Tearlessly divine
The bringer
The bringer
The bringer
The bringer
The bringer
The bringer
5. Brainstorm
Surrounded by the silent calm
Uneasiness fills the air
Black clouds hover over head
Rolling tumult of despir
Sudden rush of bewilderment
When the whole of life is irrelevent
Anticipating
Mass frustrating
Helpless uncontrollable mood
Drenched by perplexity
Sense and reason blown to the wind
Powerless state of despondency
Reflections alter what you see
Yourself sacrificed for identity
Inner storm
Mentally transformed
Transformed
Under the weather in a blurred gaze
Avalanche of delusion infiltrates
My mind�s eye delves into abyss
Delves into abyss
Under the weather in a blurred gaze
Avalanche of delusion infiltrates
My mind�s eye delves into abyss
Delves into abyss
Delves into abyss
Contentment revives my mind
On the brink of sanity
Returning soon to normalcy
Thoughts in a blizzard
Are all that I find
Sick, sickeningly fine
Brainstorm
Brainstorm
My imagination holds me back
Out of whack blurred facts
Straying from my path
Direction instantly lost
Within a mountain of thought
Foretell the hardships to come
Foretell the hardships to come
Foretell the hardships to come
Still in my future I see no Sun
Black clouds, sea of pain
My forecast always reads rain
Story indelibly the same
Violent storm in my brain
Brainstorm
Brainstorm
Brainstorm
Brainstorm
Under the weather in a blurred gaze
Avalanche of delusion infiltrates
My mind�s eye delves into abyss
Delves into abyss
Under the weather in a blurred gaze
Avalanche of delusion infiltrates
My mind�s eye delves into abyss
Delves into abyss
6. Bottom Dog
Well here it goes again
Looks like I got the short end of the stick
Oh, and while you�re at it
You might as well learn me another trick
Well, how can I pretend
When you toy with my emotions
Will it never end?
And will it cease my blind devotion?
I�ll go and fetch the mail
Then you can kick me in the head
Don�t bother feeding me
What�s the use? I�m nearly dead
I keep you company
But you burn me like a fire log
What ever did I do
To deserve to be your bottom dog?
I guess I�m just a bottom dog
Well ain�t that a shame?
It sucks to be a dog
When your life is filled with pain
I musta been left behind
When they handed out the books
But soon enough you�ll find
I�m not as dumb as I looks
Look out
You told me to sit and stay
So I got up and I walked away
You screamed and shouted my name
But I was tru with playing games
I�d been mistreated far too long
You wept in grief while I was gone
But I discovered I was wrong
And now I�m back where I belong
So put me on a leash
And treat me like a dog
My life is incomplete
Unless I�m your bottom dog
I guess I�m just a bottom dog
Well ain�t that a shame?
A blue ribbon hound
Who�s been left out in the rain
A five star canine that musta got took
I guess I truely have to be as numbskulled as I look!
Bottom dog
Bottom dog
Bottom dog
Bottom dog
7. Wonder
It makes me wonder
When it seems like it�s just a game
Do I wait or wander?
You know it�s all a god damn shame
But I can�t hide my feelings
When my feelings say it�s time to fly
I hope I�ll know what I�d do
But I keep telling myself
You�ve got to do it right now, boy
There ain�t no easy way out
No one ever said life was easy
And every night
All I can do is think of you
It�s getting late
Once again sweet music pulls me thru
But sometimes in the evening
When twilight fills the winter sky
I feel the rain coming down again
I keep telling myself
You�ve got to do it right now, boy
There ain�t no easy way out
No one ever said life was easy
Seems I keep telling myself
You�ve got to do it right now, boy
There ain�t no easy way out
No one ever said life was easy
I don�t know why it feels so wrong
Not quite sure where I belong
Get s so confusing all the time
Construct the walls to hide behind
But live forever in my mind
To diappear would be a lie
The morrow�s memories begin to fade
There�ll come a time
Looking back on yesterday
Will I smile? I wonder
But for now I find there�s really
Nothing more to say
In life you take your chances
Yes, my friend, that�s the bottom line
Just take it day by day
8. Withdrawal (instrumental)
9. The Past
Struggle thru the long awaited days
The century like hours
Engrossen in a distorted haze
Denying all that�s left behind
Darkness is seen
Thru blindness in the mind
Dissimillar lives are led by two
Thru seperation
Uncovered the truth
Reluctant feelings of skeptical cries
Thru all the pain comes the discovery of life
Seeking refuge in his usual way
Volatile behavior subject to change
Enslaved by her touch and freed by her chains
Bittersweet are the running tears
Falling just like the rain
Trying to recreate
What you can�t duplicate
Past tense what you used to have
Only reminders of the past
10. Been Nice
It�s been nice knowing you
But that�s enough, no more, we�re thru
Time to say goodbye at last
And add this moment to the past
It�s been nice knowing you
Kinda like the fucking zoo
Sure we had our ups and downs
Now get the hell out of town
It�s been nice knowing you
It�s been nice knowing you
Well it�s been real nice, hasn�t it?
And it was fun while we were having it
But hanging around and passing time
Turned sour like some cheap wine
Sorry, I forgot your name
It must�ve been my mind frame
If you want it�s me that you can blame
It�s all part of the game
It�s been nice knowing you
It�s been nice knowing you
It�s been nice knowing you
It�s been nice knowing you
Yeah, it�s been real nice knowing you
Nice knowing you
But that�s enough, no more, we�re thru
Time to say goodbye at last
It�s been nice knowing you
It�s been nice knowing you
It�s been nice knowing you
It�s been nice knowing you
