Classically trained in all thing cantankerous A lunatic not provocative Prone to a constant state of a bullshit agitation A heretic with no nemesis Satirical wit with drunken lips Chastise the meek for their dull and provincial simplification Everybody knows It's a mad mad mad mad mad mad world Where chaos is rule Love is confused Everybody knows It's a mad mad mad mad mad mad world Keep playing the fool Delusion looks so cool The holy the damned With their capricious intentions Logic-based fills the days with a lethargy and a hue of reciprocal depression The magnificent, slaves and lords to mechanics Utopian vows cloud the now Always getting ran straight over when you're standing in memory lane Everybody knows It's a mad mad mad mad mad mad world Where chaos is rule Love is confused Everybody knows It's a mad mad mad mad mad mad world Keep playing the fool Delusion looks so cool

The Prophet 04:18
I sat next to the barstool prophet Heard the epic tales of deceit With a poisoned heart full of transgression He spoke some kind of knowledge to keep Like, reserve your strength and perseverance for when you're lost and cannot see Your innocence will be tragically taken by the bounty hunter known as greed You can spend this life fighting for the reason to justify repeated defeats While the winners win, the losers will watch as their dreams slip into the abyss A boxer fears a man's resolve, not the blows from his mighty fists Keeps his head down low until he knows that courage is the form of a risk And the truth is There is truth in anything you believe I've found truth in chasing the cold facts How nothing's quite like it seems Oh and death I can smell it on your breath It's the deal you can't appeal Cauterized by blood and steel The sentence given to you by your birth Diagnosed with this curse It's the same direction we all have in common No forms of protection or oath to honor Will deflect this destined fate And the truth is There is truth in anything you believe I've found truth in chasing the cold facts How nothing's quite like it seems As I sat next to the barstool prophet Heard the epic tales of defeat With a crowded heart full of contemplation He watches as the cycle repeats

We were invincible (forever, forever) So deft with our touch (Always together) Hung time on a hook and drank from the ever-flowing fountain of forever lust Hot ass and traces of youth Follow those trees Forgotten names mark the prettiest spaces in the civil cemeteries Pet my water panther Old myths die hard Run run horizons I'm screaming, "Save me Hollywood!" La la la la la la the song goes on There's a royal road to the unconscious We're all modern beast in Camelot Riders ride for the journeys sights You can lose all of your defenses Let your freak flag fly Doped up on stranger and fame Throwing fake parades Screaming, "Oh my god this is totally awesome living in the sunset days!" Pet my water panther Old myths die hard Run run horizons I'm screaming, "Save me Hollywood!" La la la la la la the song goes on There's a royal road to the unconscious We're all modern beast in Camelot

Thief 04:23
Have you heard How the sky is falling Holding on to our unseen eyes Never gave a day to the right kind of light Have you heard We put a man on the moon Just to default to sad and depressed From the comfort of a solitary room Disconnected discontent Entertained by parlor tricks See them all crave the fame Feel jealous and ashamed Silent watchers growing in the blue light of a dark and twisted fantasy Repetitive, endless content, repress Feel nostalgia, feel disdain Interconnected, never engaged It takes a lot of effort not to be free Every moment is so brief Will someone please stop the thief Have you heard This is all a performance Acted out wearing different masks Sacred rituals and social dances Disconnected discontent Entertained by parlor tricks See them all crave the fame Feel jealous and ashamed Silent watchers growing in the blue light of a dark and twisted fantasy Repetitive, endless content, repress Feel nostalgia, feel disdain Interconnected, never engaged It takes a lot of effort not to be free Every moment is so brief Will someone please stop the thief

Don't want to bite my lip While I hold my tongue Who says that I can't get stoned? Lace up my shoes Walk straight out the door Head for a place where time stands still Walking down the grain Clouds are heavy, the fields are praying for the rain Sun is falling while credits rolling Exit the frame right stage Days turn over Repeat There's a songbird singing A mother father screaming Who says we can define love? Where I'm going my roads lead to nowhere My home will have no doors And I'll be Walking down the grain Clouds are heavy, the fields are praying for the rain Sun is falling while credits rolling Exit the frame right stage Months march onward Repeat Give me that place to go Where I can be alone And grieve for all the half lived dreams There is not enough time in this lifetime to be the kind of man to be I'll be Walking down the grain Clouds are heavy, the fields are praying for the rain Sun is falling while credits rolling Exit the frame right stage Years move on and on and on And I stand here looking back On all the time that I had waisted And the choices I'll never get back So when I go I'm going empty No trills I'm everything and worry free

about

Out of chaos comes the potential for being. Being is the manifestation of order that is born out of chaos. We use communicative language to call the world into being. That’s what we do. The world manifests itself by your choice. We participate in the continual process of generating order out of chaos - and sometimes the reverse. Music is the organized representation of harmony. There are layers of reality communicating with one other.

One must jump into chaos in order to escape tyranny. When you go from a bad place to a better place, you go to a worst place first. To aim up, you have to let go of something you already have, and that will put you into a state of chaos - and you might not recover from it. But you won’t get to the next level if you don’t try.
