Lyrics
THE SEED
I don't do well with introductions
On account of my disease
But pleased to greet you all the same
I am the sound as yet not seen
Shall we proceed
And transcend the seed?
It's more than a need
I am the sound that shall be seen
O fortunate disease
Of the livin'
It's a given
Binary expertise
It's forgiven
There's a new point of view
That is emerging through the reeds
Makes no difference how you plead
So have a seat, relax, at ease
You're coming with me
To unfold the scene
It's more than a need
I am the sound that shall be seen
O fortunate disease
Of the livin'
It's a given
Binary expertise
It's forgiven
All's forgiven
I need more than just satisfaction
I need traction
And once you're in
That's a given
And I need more than just satisfaction
I need action
And in the end
All's forgiven
REAL SHOW
No comprehending
Any truth to the proofs of our pretending
And bereft of some sure fire clue to guide us
-We appeal to you-
What's this about?
Too many problems to overcome
Is this the show or just some rehearsal?
-Just some rehearsal?-
-I feel for you-
The light that glows as it implodes
-In order to appeal to you-
Is stranger than a man could dare to suppose
-You know I would for you-
As above, so below
It's a real show
Hyperextending
We've become what we thought we were pretending
We left old ratios behind us
-In order to appeal to you-
Help us shed our doubts
Transform what problems may come
Into the bluff true dreams are made of
-Real shows are played of-
-I feel for you-
The child that grows as she implodes
-In order to appeal to you-
Is stranger than a man could dare to suppose
-You know I would for you-
As a dove, so she'll crow
She puts on a real live show
-I feel for you-
The time that flows as it implodes
-In order to appeal to you-
Is stranger than a man could dare to suppose
-You know I would for you-
As of ebb, so be flow
It's a real show
As in love, so see throes
You put on a real show
-I keep it real for you-
As above, so below
You put on a real live show
THE MEASURE OF ALL THINGS
Twin sister, my neighbor
Lend me your secret gear
To fight the temporal tide
That's threatening to consume me...
Yet we continue to thrive
Maybe someone's trying to confuse me
Is it the measure of all things
That I have borne within me?
And so the measure of all things
Is ever evolving
Is as ever revolving
As forever resolving
As the treasure of all schemes
Displeasure of tall memes
So the measure of all things
Is ever evolving
And if you find yourself in dire need
Remember I'm your brother
Here to lend a helping hand
To the measure of all things
Between the two of us
I think we've got this covered
Unfazed we can brave the grave canal
It's just a matter of timing
It's just a matter of time
How far into what zones
Are we thinking of leaping?
Why stray so far from home
For the sake of safekeeping?
And what game and in whose -drome
Have we long been competing?
Why do you seem to have this constant need
To be so wholly other?
Why can't you focus on my plan
To keep the engine revolving?
Though heaven knows we can't keep on like this forever
Against sure signs of suicide
We're gonna keep it revolving
We're gonna give it a try
And so the measure of all things
Is ever evolving
Is as ever revolving
As forever resolving
As the treasure of all schemes
Displeasure of tall memes
So the measure of all things
Is ever evolving
And once the final family portrait is complete
We'll sleep forever
And retire to some dream
With the treasure of all schemes
Remain suspended in her womb
Our holy mother
So the remembrance of all things
Can continue evolving
And so the measure of all things
Is ever evolving
Is as ever revolving
As forever resolving
As the treasure of all schemes
Displeasure of tall memes
So the measure of all things
Is ever evolving
STARSWARM
Borne on through a land askew
And like a manifestation with something to prove
Like I can grip grooves
We can trip truths
Like any way I strange my mode
It's all in how I choose
The way I trip the slipstream
I'm not afraid to slip away
It's in the way I surf levels
As if only the facade can break away
Goddess substance
One could say that she was born to slip away
As god the empire
To covet any form she might portray
Who invent the moonchild
Forever on the brink of disarray
Who provokes the starswarm
As if only the facade can break away
It's what we must choose
We must choose
What we must choose
Shall I project a world?
It's what we must choose
A space for latent angels come unfurled
It's what we must choose
So say so sigil slinger
And conceive of worlds
A step into the shew stone
Earns a trip through the ecology of souls
In an undefined direction
Toward the unity of chaos and control
And as you trip the slipstream
Go unafraid to slip away
See we can leap levels
As if only the facade can break the wave
We can surf the starswarm
Ecstatic at the brink of disarray
But you must choose
HERE TO GO
Can't cut the conception
Or retrieve some long lost peak
Ignore the reflection
In the fruits of our technique
There is no such correction
No definitive critique
Only one true direction
One connection that we seek
Not sainted
Not tainted
Devoid or incomplete
Not taken for granted
We can interface with grace in hyperspace
For we're all here to go
It's time we flee
Lackluster emotion
Outlook oblique
Black holes in the ocean floor
No such leak
Our only reasonable option
Is bittersweet retreat
Not sainted
Not tainted
Devoid or incomplete
Not taken for granted
We can interface with grace in hyperspace
It's time we breathe
Evolve other options
Exit the sea
A black hole is an open door
So to speak
Our only reasonable option
Is bittersweet retreat
Not sainted
Not tainted
Devoid or incomplete
Not hunted
Not fronted
Or riddled with conceit
Not sainted
Not tainted
Devoid or incomplete
Not wanted
Not haunted
But wild and concrete
Universal yet unique
How could one compete with
The need to live with grace in hyperspace
LEG UP
I might have lost that leg up
If it weren't for you
Along with the work we do
There comes a certain pas de deux
We'll just need to work through
Do not succumb to paranoia
It only wants to weigh you down
If you mean to fly
You'll need to keep an open mind
But not so open that your brain drops out
Just go easy on your glands, okay pal
Latent schizophrenia threatening to stay
On everlasting holiday
Upon a secret island suspended in the sky
Like aren't i already high?
Why should I ever need to fly?
Meanwhile the wings I'd all but disowned
Might atrophy, crack, and slip from my bones
For the lost connection
I might have lost that leg up
If it weren't for you
Blatant neophobia threatening to thrive
Infect my very social drive
Hiding in a bunker buried underground
I'll found my very own compound
Way way down where I won't be found
Meanwhile the thumbs so patiently grown
Recede to the palm
All progress postponed
I might have lost that leg up
If it weren't for you
Along with the dance we do
There comes the bittersweet taboo
You just need to dance through
I might have lost that leg up
If it weren't for you
I might have lost that leg up
If it weren't for you
AWAKEN MY LOVE
Need you to help me
Forge a breach in the dream
Rupture sutures & seams...
Awaken my love
And gimmee good love
Come quicken my love
And gimmee the good good good...
Subdue, subdue, subdue, subdue:
I'm a moonmad loon
Hear me quaver and croon
Renew, renew, renew, renew:
See the undead goon
Stagger, swivel, and swoon
Come through, come through, come through, come through:
I'm a tin can djinn
In my rusty cocoon
Yoo hoo, yoo hoo, yoo hoo:
Opportune cartoon
Honey, read my balloon:
It says
Awaken my love
And gimmee good love
Come quicken my love
And gimmee a good rub
Come quicken my love
And gimmee good love
Come quicken my love
And gimmee your good good good...
Renew, renew, renew, renew:
I'm a cool blue bloom
Through the crack in my tomb
Ado, ado, ado, ado:
Or a tune immune
To the racket of doom
Come to, come to, come to:
I'm the unclean beast
With the human perfume
See through, see through, see through:
With The Word's Eye View
And the secular zoom
I am
Awakening love
I'm quickening love
Come quicken my love
And gimmee a good rub
Come quicken my love
And gimmee good love
Come quicken my love
And gimmee your good good good love
I so long to hear your morning song
I am a
Man in a dream
Asleep at the seams
Holed up in a dream
Bogged down in a real real bad dream...
So don't leave me hangin here too long
Come true, come true, come true, come true:
I'm the unborn boon
In my crumbling cocoon
And coming soon...
Abundantly feared veneer
Disappears into the dawn
Awaken my love
And gimmee good love
Come quicken my love
And gimmee the good good good...
She talkin through me singin:
"Review, review, review, review:
You're the airborne ape
With the nautical kin
"Breakthrough, breakthrough, breakthrough, breakthrough:
And the cartoon ghost
With the cellular twin
"Renew, renew, renew, renew:
Shed the undead host
Parasitic with sin
"Adieu, adieu, adieu:
Shun the undiagnosed
Paralytic chagrin..."
She tells me:
"Wake up my love
And gimmee good love
Come quicken my love
And gimme the good love
"Wake up to me love
And gimmee good love
Awaken my love
And gimmee the good good good love..."
Just don't leave me hangin here too long
Come true, come true, come true, come true:
I'm the unborn boon
In my crumbling cocoon
And coming soon...
I so long to hear your morning song
I am a
Man in a dream
Asleep at the seams
Holed up in a dream
Bogged down in a real real bad dream...
Abundantly feared veneer
Disappears into the dawn
Revealing some collusion long foregone...
SAMPLING THE SAMPLER
I am the boy that can enjoy invisibility
Heart of my heart, were it more
More would be laid at your feet
Riddle me, riddle me, randy ro
My father gave me seeds to sow
Tell me what do you know, what do you know
What do you know, what do you know
What do you know that I don't know I know
If anyone thinks that I amn't divine
They'll get no free drinks when I'm makin the wine
But have to drink water and wish it were plain
That I make when the wine becomes water again
Cut it up, and reapply
Condition, process, amplify
With synesthesia, fractal zoom
With a touching sight and loud perfume
Mosaic meal of morsels past
Mix it together and bring it all back to life again
By sampling the sampler
Sampling the sampler
Sampling the sampler
By mixing your mediums
By sampling the sampler
Riddle makes water, randy rows
I am the seed my father knows
So drink my heart that I make plain
When water riddles wine again
Me riddle ro, me randy me ro
Me gave me seeds to sow
That I know that I don't know
No, I know that I wish it were plain
That I make when the wine becomes water again
Cut it up, and reapply
Condition, process, amplify
With synesthesia, fractal zoom
With a touching sight and loud perfume
Mosaic meal of morsels past
Mix it together and bring it all back to life again
By sampling the sampler
Sampling the sampler
Sampling the sampler
By mixing your mediums
By sampling the sampler
BLIND TO THE TIME
I Spent so many years
With my eye on the goal
I Spent so Many days
with my head in the hole
not Gonna miss the point
not Gonna miss my time
I Gotta do what I need
To make it mine
trading the story for the rhyme
Watching the clock instead of the time
from ape to angel
I'm making the jump
Face the fear
Get over the hump
Don't be scared
It'll be alright
As long as I stay focused
And don't give up the fight
Counting my pennies instead of dimes
Watching the clock instead of the time
you Gotta know when to seize moment
you Gotta know when to take the day
When your time comes
Will you know what to say?
Opportunity is the train
And I am the station
If you're paying attention
It easy to get on
The question is,
When the day has past
Will you be gone?
Finding the holds not enjoying the climb
Watching the clock instead of the time
Missing the story for the rhyme
Watching the clock instead of the time
INTERFACE
march home to that centripetal drone
but step into a rhythm that's all your own
discover your home tone
'cause any old way you muse can't lose
when you're homegrown
no matter how far you may roam, so...
mark time with a sympathetic rhyme like
every word you use you choose by design:
mundane yet divine
if ever you feel immune stay tuned for the high sign
broadcasting live from just beyond the grave divide
(that graphic interplay in black & white)
it's not the black side
it's not the white
it's the Interface
interface
(the mercurial edge)
it's not your dark side
nor your light
it's your interface
interface
(the mercurial edge)
touch stone to electric flesh and bone
step into that mirror see how you've grown
and how far from home you've flown
if ever you feel sub par see, star, beneath your own dome
just cock your crown and take that throne, please
come clean
are you mammal or machine?
well truthfully you seem to be in between
toward which are you prone to lean?
if ever you get confused
just choose to peruse the seam
and maybe then you'll see
they share a common dream
(this livid interface in redbluegreen)
it's not the black side
it's not the white
it's the Interface
interface
(the mercurial edge)
it's not your dark side
nor your light
it's the interface
interface
(the mercurial edge)
it's not the black side
it's not the white
it's the Interface
interface
(the mercurial edge)
it's not your dark side
nor your light
it's the interface
interface
(the mercurial edge)
God help the man who gets carried away
in either direction
Gaia help the girl who gets caught in a whirl
of dangerous affections
God help the girl who develops a pearl
& is killed upon collection
Gaia help the boy who's in love with the toy
that's burned after infection
God help the gal who hasn't a pal
yet gets all of the attention
Gaia help the man who developed the plan
that's been doomed since its conception
it's not the black side
it's not the white
it's the Interface
interface
(the mercurial edge)
it's not your dark side
nor your light
it's the interface
interface
(the mercurial edge)
it's not the black side
it's not the white
it's the Interface

(the mercurial edge)
it's not your dark side
nor your light

SAY U WILL
experience my soul
help me expose the hidden depths inside of me
stimulate my senses from the nexus
help me find infinity
captivate and don't negate
please show some compassion
in this graceful state of gravity
say u will
say that u will
won't you say that u will
say that u will
take a chance to make a change
don't be afraid to spin the karmic wheel
take a gamble, trust in faith
go greet your fate and play the cards it deals
find a new salvation
syncopation from the kind of love you always wanted to feel
say u will
say that u will
won't you say that u will
say that u will
OPEN THE DOOR
I cant believe it either man
cant tell you what its for
but its like I had a vision and I woke up at its door
didn't need no keys i found it wasn't even locked
touched my finger to the knob anticipating shock
Don't think that i aint been there with all kinds, all sorts of maybes
man I've been dragged along the road they've had to re-inflate me
now I'm pieced all back together, full force ahead and going strong
dare somebody come and try to stop me before long
But I opened the door and walked right in
with all of my lies and so called sins
the light started pouring into my mouth
so I opened it wide to make sounds come out
I opened the door and walked right in
with all of my lies and so called sins
the lights pouring into my mouth
so I opened it wide to make sounds come out
MORNING FOG
In this garden…
In this garden…
We're living inside of a perfect circle
(Perfectly spun all around)
Surrounded by everything ever and always
(The circle keeps turning around)
Perfection is one thing that i haven't mastered
(My flaws seem to get in the way)
The one thing I tell you and don't be mistaken
(I wish you no less than a perfect day)
Here in this garden
I planted all these flowers
(In this garden)
I hope they don't wilt away
Sunshine and water
Can only do so much
(In this garden)
They need love or they'll fade away
I'm fading away
I'm fading away
I'm fading away
I'm fading
I'm fading away
I'm fading
I'm fading away
TROUBLE
Trouble (Trouble)…
Trouble
Thats all you seem to be
Sick of all
you're bitchin' at me
Get a life
Y'all no way to be
Get a job
and get away from me
Can't pay your own way
you ain't got nothing to say
Can't pay for your food
but mine's not good for you
Can't pay for your shit
cause there ain't enough of it
Get a job
and get away from me
Shutup
I know what you're doin
No more manipulation
Get gone
its time for you to leave
That's right
No more shittin' on me
(…no siree…)
(…no siree wookie…)
Can't pay your own way
you ain't got nothing to say
Can't pay for your food
but mine's not good for you
Can't pay for your shit
cause there ain't enough of it
Get a job
and get away from me
(Instrumental break)
Can't pay your own way
you ain't got nothing to say
Can't pay for your food
but mine's not good for you
Can't pay for your shit
cause there ain't enough of it
Get a job
and get away from me
Trouble
thats all you seem to be
Can't you see
you ain't got nothing for me
