Go. Back home again, tie the blood to my face and every li'l sinner gon' lick it too. I know I'm The One cause I have all the answers. Show you how I make me do the things you do. No way, you'll ever show me the way. Too much fun to fuck myself the way I do. Ok, go on and give me some pain. Stick the needle in and push that river through. Fishin' with Ivan. Fishin'. Fishin' with Ivan. Fishin'. Mr. Holy Man, tell me how you believe it. Does your faith whither in the face of something new? A God that will not even listen to reason. It seems, to me, you've mistaken this God for You. And, so they came to take my Primo away. Another day, another resurrection through. Hey hey, let the Children play. I say let The Mother & The Father too. Fishin' with Ivan! Fishin'! Fishin' with Ivan! Fishin'! Bite down on the bar that once cleansed me. Speakeasy only in circles, lest the enemy see thee. A 3 Trinity morphs, suddenly confusing. Be pure, show heart in this age of no reason, where doubt impersonates me in spirit & season. Beyond The Red & Black lies The Green. Chrysalis universe give to me. On your wings now, Angel fly. Together, you & I. Alive.

He will rise and shake these pillars from treachery. Own this now and frame The Sons of Every. Hands will guide thee. Truth come down, down. Sangre del cuerpo libera me. Bathe in this premise, Child, and be alright. Breathe so deep and be alright. Palladium. Hands will guide thee. Truth come down, down. Sangre del cuerpo libera me. Break free, circle only. Surrender the 3 & 3. In this time and space, a change. Strength will guide you, push you far away from The Nothing. Far away, far away. Blood wash The Nothing far away! Cast you out, pray. Cast you out and pray. Cast you out, pray. He will rise and break these pillars of every. Own this now, Friend. Has not Heaven sent thee? A search for water. Warm skin for the thirst. Ever after and only the beginning as a Coda plays the hand in search of any
signs of weakness.
Belong, / Sangre
be free. / del cuerpo
There will be no shallow end here. / libera me.
The mind is legend. A change will be given. Partial to The Firstborn, this will spread first from the skies. Bathe in this premise, Child, and be alright. Breathe so deep and be alright.

Antagonists

Faceless and shapeless agents of strangeness. Facts unknown, opinions not shown, decisions to hone, situation's overgrown. Calm the nerve. Only time will serve. Teach and observe for the knowledge reserve. Mask emotion and grasp the notion. Rise above commotion. Show true devotion. Exercise patience on a regular basis. Mark your assailants and avoid their surveillance. It seems that they've got it out for me. A world so cruel, I wish they would just let me be. Antagonists all in my face, you see. Makin' me sweat, I'm down on my knees. Labor takes a toll. It rips through the soul. A wish to control to exceed the goal. Continue to fight. Don't give in to flight. Gotta do what's right, so we can sleep at night. Focus all energy. Befriend all enemies. Everything in jeopardy. Savor this memory. It just gets harder, so instigate barter to grow, get smarter, and breathe under water. Rise to the top. Harvest the crop. Intensity will drop. The craziness stops. Achievement obtained. The demon was slain. The mind remains sane, despite grueling pain. A lesson to learn. Everybody gets a turn. If actions are stern, there will be no concern. And, when it starts again, consult deep within. Sit back and grin 'cause you know that you will win. It seems that they've got it out for me. A world so cruel, I wish they would just let me be. Antagonists all in my face, you see. Makin' me sweat, I'm down on my knees. Never ending struggle, there will always be trouble. Sometimes bust a bubble, rummage through the rubble. Rebuilt from the ground up. Defeated and broken, but stay strong. In time, we'll all be gone. It seems that they've got it out for me. World so cruel, I wish they would just let me be. Antagonists all in my face, you see. Makin' me sweat, I'm down on my knees.

It's like I don't need everyone to get it or understand how unbelievably amazing this is: I get it. I know the truth and it's my life. Apple say "c'est vous plait" when she's near me. Prophecy leads the way. I must be dreaming. So far away. Feel me somewhere, someway. I wanna be there on the inside, yeah. Believe me when I say this, Baby, I'm hungry. Best make believe you feel so alive. Come and play anyway. She's kneeling, so we pray & her feet touch the ceiling. Feel her someway, somewhere. I wanna be gone, gone, gone, oh yeah. Believe me when I say this, Lady, stay away & we both hold our heads high today. This flesh and blood won't give me away. Apple say "what's my name?" Did she play me? Adam take Eden's hand, a new beginning. Feel somewhere, someway. She wanna be there on the inside, yeah. Believe me when I say this, Woman, I'm lonely, and I will love you.

Situation normal, and the mood's informal. The world is chugging. Computers debugging messages from a distant land: such complex code to understand. Technology duped by the infinite loop. Intelligence honed. Our planet's on loan. Peaceful thoughts sent from the lotus. People switched on begin to notice clouds congregating, oceans undulating, tectonic eruption, worldly disruption. Hysteria rages through the various stages. Humanity challenged as the Earth is scavenged. Desperate actions will be taken. Our dominance has been forsaken. The invasion pursues. Chaos ensues. Wild strained eyes cast hopeful cries. Resistance to this force is futile, regardless of our cunning guile. Complex dilemma, convoluted schema. A dismal outcome. Unable to fathom my life without you, like the emptiness after the harvest. And, if they come to take us away, we will always be together. Back to the wall. Assimilate us all. Interrogate the mind. Nothing left behind. What will be come of civilization? Welcoming alien foundation. Cargo on the starship. Taking to the air strip. Bright lights, electric, fluid, glazed metallic. Aiding the quest. Turning the key. Sharing knowledge for eternity. Ushering progress down mysterious roads. Showing us how to unravel the code. My life without you, like the emptiness after the harvest. And, if they come to take us away, we will always be together. Interstellar travel. Our questions will be answered. They'll teach us to be immortal. You and me forever.

God knows, I've never been here before. Me lose Woman, but you are more. Light a candle, paint a prayer on your floor. Picked up my shoes, left a note at the door. Careful what you wish. Funny how you never know until you face it. Now, my innocence sleeps underneath the Sound & A Blanket. It's not like the other guys sing like I do. I pray for something right, I pray anew. Wish I could laugh again under that crazy moon. Wish I could tell you one more time that I love you. Careful what you wish. Funny how I never knew until I faced it. Now, that little boy sleeps underneath the Sound & A Blanket. It's not like the other girls dance like you do. We gave so much of ourselves, me & you. Wonder if I could breathe inside your room. Do you still think about the days? Oh, you can hurt me, I know I hurt you too. Is this the only way for us now? God give me the proof. I made you my world, BabyGirl. It's not like the other guys sing like I do. I pray for something right, and I find truth. If I could laugh again under your moon. If I could breathe and be myself. It's not like the other girls dance like you do. If I could just hold you one more time.

You got me feelin' like I'm on some olympic gold medal shit, girl, and a little like Roldie in the elevator with Maria. So, kiss kiss, bang bang, pleasure, song, wine, & pearl. It's kinda like Mikey & friends at the very end, yeah yeah. You got me feelin' like myself. Feelin' like myself. You got me feelin' like myself, again. Now, my eyes wide open, believe and breathe in the new, and I am high off the way you came after the rain. Chica, dejar que el mundo exterior sueno. Su esencia es donde las canciones vienen. You got me feelin' like myself. Feelin' like myself. You got me feelin' like myself, again. Now, my eyes wide open, believe and breathe in the new, and I am high off the way you came... Yeah, my eyes wide open, breathe in, believe in the new. Yes, we are alive, and it remains after the rain. Break the rhythm like a diamond in a thrift shop. I toast to you and savor every little last drop. No worries, no games. Fuck it if it ain't the same. Yeah, my eyes wide open believe and breathe in the new, and I am high off the way you came... My eyes wide open breathe in, believe in the new. Yes, we are alive, and it remains after the rain. Cooler than Sam Rockwell. Cooler than, cooler than, even cooler than Sam Rockwell.

Lead the way on your green horses, me today, is everything I was afraid to say. I will live and die in love. Here we have the recipe for rebirth and disappearing. New Eyes of Old give a damn. I'll have the water if I'm sure that everything & everyone will be there waiving, happy-smiling, loving at the end. I saddle-up & I get down. Now, all I see are different versions of the past, present, future. Who, where, why, & when? Lead the way on your green horses, me today, is everything I was afraid to say. I will live and die in love. Monastic healing. Strip the flesh and heart of Man. Understanding, it goes around & comes again. Lead the way on your green horses, me today, is everything I was afraid to say. I will live and die in love. We are
one moment. Omega divine. She is tonight! Lead the way on your green horses, me today, is everything I was afraid to say. I will live and die in love.

Clean Slate

The launch pad awaits. Onlookers at the gates. Mission to instate a vital clean slate. No, it's not too late. We can control our fate. Set the coordinates to the heart of the problem. Thrusters on, power up the system. Strap on the lap, 2 across the sternum. Engage stabilizers, welcome to our sanctum. Leaving behind all the ones that love us, return's bleak. This mission is a must. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, harvest the faith. Our cause is just. There is no option at the current junction. Proceed with caution. We must take action. Mission to instate a vital clean slate. No, it's not too late. We can control our fate. Doubt & disdain, life threatening pain. Strain has been placed, unprecedented waste. Our haste and diligence, the last defense. Intense tedium to provide a premium medium compromised, life cycles paralyzed, people terrified of death. One last breath. Stress has mounted, days are counted. Grounded, helpless, growing restless. Galactic commuter, step in as our savior. Launch the maneuver to sustain the future. Return home to bring us back to the way we were before and heal the wound once more. Heal the wound once more. Mission to instate a vital clean slate. No, it's not too late. We can control our fate.

The 2nd born child of 6. She is quiet & inward, ever so weary of life's little cliques. She looks upon Mother & Father. Her's is the path of independence, stubborn & willful. And, she is their daughter. Her love, strength, the real thing. She says, "Dream your own way, believe." Your love, strength, the real thing. Move on, daughter. Wild & free. You belong,
mother. Hero to me. Like Water. "To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feeling is to risk exposing your true self. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To try is to risk failure. But, risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing cannot learn, feel, change, grow, or live. Only a person who risks is free." Free. Like Water. And, years pass. The seasons change. With the resilience of the Gods, she does remain. To her own tune, she marches on. Fueled by her love, and forever my song. She is beautiful, and she is my mother. Our love, strength, the real thing. Like Water.
From you I am. / Whether pleasing or a demon, things happen for a reason. / For this I breathe again. / Those little words you said to me helped with life's tragedies. / Flesh & blood. / You taught me how to live. Moreover to give. / Son after the rain. / Consistent on my side. That smile's bona fide. / I will find a way, I am... / Can't forget your face when you gave me a bass. / I am not afraid, I am... / It's engineered along my never ending song. / I will find a way, I am... / This love from you, authentic and true, / Your son, / the compassion, how to have fun / Elva. / molded me like clay into the man I am today.
