Strange Days
Strange days indeed/
When the stars held in your hand/
Number more than grains of sand/
Strange days indeed/
When the faker wins the prize/
Before your naked steaming eyes/
Strange times indeed/
With barbarians at the gate/
We just argue and debate/
Strange times indeed/
Princes on the street/
Paupers on the throne/
Strange days indeed.../
Strange days indeed.../
Strange days indeed/
Where the troubadour earns more/
Than the men who shaped the land/
Strange days indeed/
Where the truth is given spin/
And the world will hold its breath/
Strange world indeed/
Half of us believe/
The other half don't need to/
Hard world indeed/
Forged in blood and sand/
Killers hand in hand/
Strange days indeed.../
Strange days indeed.../

Mass Driver II
These are tales,/
From the frozen North/
Where the passion thaws/
Icey words and callous'd hands/
Where the muscle cracks/
And spares the underdog/
'cos the tears are real/
Ain't it sad, ain't it sad/
Ain't that sad enough, my friend/
For all their words,/
They never taught you well/
Take me, break me/
Their silence is suffering/
So few words/
The rest is in the eyes/
Peel back the skin/
The bone and blood can tell you more/
And know what's in-between/
And knowing how the rose will fade/
'cos the tears are real/
Ain't it sad, ain't it sad/
Ain't that sad enough, my friend/
For all their words,/
They never taught you well/
Take me, break me/
Their silence is suffering/
May I remind you, /
even as we move/
Into the third act/
Skin can still be sold/
Your flesh can still be owned.../
Don't you know, the world turns here?

Ocean & Sky
God took the day off/
To see what it was like/
And he found he liked it fine/
So he packed up all his things/
And handed down the keys/
To the old guy from downstairs/
'Treat them well, they're just not too bright/
They'll get by with just a beer and the TV...'/
This is my corrosion, this is my sunset/
This is my song for life/
This is my time to take/
End up believing what you believe in/
This is a smoking gun/
This is your time to see.../
The Sea...
This is my denial, this is my conscience/
This is a burning sand/
Under a frozen sky/
This is the dry time, this is the hard time/
This is your beating heart/
This is the burning part.../
The Sea...
And if you get down to the shore/
The air has a different quality/
You feel you could almost grasp/
The point where the ocean meets the sky/
The Sea.../

Raindance
These are my words, inside/
I cannot pretend to know/
The wrong from right/
The air has formed around me/
And locks me in so tight/
My head says turn and run now/
But my heart says stand and fight /
And in the void...they know what to do/
Raindance; they got copyright on hope/
They got smiles you won't believe/
And a line in irony/
Raindance; you can't see it, you can't win/
I got mountains for my hopes/
Canyons for my sins/
Settle me down, outside/
I cannot pretend to know/
The dark from light/
My eyes are frozen closed now/
I might as well be blind/
Rely on other senses/
You might just make a find/
And in the void...they know what to do/
Raindance; they got copyright on hope/
They got smiles you won't believe/
And a line in irony/
Raindance; you can't see it, you can't win/
I got mountains for my hopes/
Canyons for my sins/
Pull me down here, make me change/
Push me up again the same/
I would know the scar/
The change has made/
Tie me up here, tie me down/
Show me horrors, show me clowns/
I would know the part.
You had played...
Raindance; they got copyright on hope/
They got smiles you won't believe/
And a line in irony/
Raindance; you can't see it, you can't win/
I got mountains for my hopes/
Canyons for my sins/

Acrobat
This life feels like a 3 ring circus/
Denied the chance to make the change/
I'll watch the show.../
My time fails like a winter sun/
For all the light that's poured out/
Nothing grows.../
Keep it all up in the air, and/
Hold the leap until you dare, and/
Keep the smile upon your face/
For all to see/
Hold your breath until it happens/
Keep your nerve while it happens/
Stay the look in place/
For all to see...for all to see/
Acrobat, see my illusion/
Without the aid of a safety net/
I make it through/
For all that, feel my confusion/
With nothing left now to harness me/
I take the fall

Time & Again
We could make a stand/
The sun might just as well/
Burn itself right out/
And all the time we see/
Mistakes we made/
Time after time/
We would sell/
Our souls and all/
To show and tell/
And what we'd give/
To have our time/
Around again/
Erosion so bad/
Feels like the weight of the world/
Erosion so bad/
Feels like it's etched on your heart/
We could build a fire/
And burn away/
Unwanted moments/
Leaving us with what?/
So much older/
And none the wiser/
Yet we would call/
On un-named hands/
And face down hell/
To take our time again/
Knowing things/
Would never change/
Erosion so bad/
Feels like the weight of the world/
Erosion so bad/
Feels like it's etched on your heart/
