A Million Times
03:54

It all started with a tragedy
That took you from me
I grabbed the dark and I wrapped it in grey
I turned out the lights and they showed me a way
It doesn't matter how many times I try
I just can't get back through to you
You're right there but so far away
all the things I need to say to you
but, you can't hear me now...
All you need are silver nails
a witches heart and her tome of spells
a lightning strike, a broken clock
and your back to the sacred spot
It's another time, another place
a different past but still your face
another window, another frame
with a view that's not the same
It doesn't matter how many times I try
I just can't get back through to you
You're right here but so far away
I can almost touch your face
but, you can't feel me here...
Can we get back to the start?
Can you keep your head and keep your heart?
Will we meet again at the old rivers end
where this all began?
I call your name a million times
I get nothin' but strangers eyes again...and again
but I'll spend an eternity
in the seas of time to make it right
I'll see you again...
It doesn't matter how many times I try
I'll never give up on you
You're right there but so far away
all the things I need to say to you
you can't hear me now...

The Division
03:45
|

Divide and conquer 101
let's take a look at what they've done
indoctrinate the young and dumb
until their common sense is numb
focus on our differences
drill it deep inside
use music as a weapon
to manipulate our minds
replaced lobotomies with pharmacies
shock therapy with tiny screens
it's genius, it's brilliant,
not a theory but conspiracy
they'll even take a tragedy and use it to break
the bonds we've shared and the progress we've made
then turn around and say they're trying to make it ok!
when the game will always be to divide and enslave!
Conglomeration to divide the nation
an ignition to cause division
on the internet and TV
mainstream news is part of the team
race, class, gender, sexuality,
your appearance, your school,
your favorite sports team
by religion and by faith
it's down to a science
nothing is safe
How many times will we let them feed us lies!?
cause outrage in the streets
they want tensions on the rise!
they focus on our politics
and right wing/left wing idiots
use preference as a weapon
tell me why are you not getting it!
it shouldn't come as a surprise
that they're hiding in disguise
set the fires in plain sight
sit back and then watch us fight!
they'll even take something good and use it to split
the ties we've been working on and promises we've kept
they don't want us one for all
they want us to divide and fall
and the game will always be complete elite control!
Divided we stand, together we'll fall!
if we just give up then we will never evolve!
Together we stand, divided we fall!
if we just give in then we'll never move on!

As You Wish
03:24
|

As you wish for what you want,
What you have just falls apart.
And you know, Yeah you know.
As you wish, you want something real & true,
and I'll do my best to give it to you.
I'll play this part, cross my heart.
As you wish for more and more.
What remains rots to the core
and you know, you reap what you sow.
I thought you would've known.
I thought you would've learned by now,
That this just can't be right
but I'll burn in hell,
I'll take the crown for you and make it true.
All your broken dreams.
All your silent screams,
at night I hear you cry.
But, I'll take the fall from grace, for you.
And they will know their place tonight.
As you wish but, know this can't be undone.
You can live by the moon or die by the sun.
You must say goodbye so that you may thrive.
As you wish, you have all you want and more.
You set them ablaze and settled the score
So, I will say goodnight for the last time...
I knew you'd never learn
and you would never know by now,
that this will never be right but,
I'll burn it down,
I'll steal the crown for you and make it true.
All the broken dreams.
And the horrific screams,
at night I hear them cry.
But, I'll take this fall from grace, for you.
And they will know your face tonight...

In my mind a monster resides, corrupted and blind.
Tells me to fall back in line...
On the days I'm not doing my best,
I'm under duress, I feel it in my chest.
It likes to tell me that I'll never succeed,
don't try to believe, don't bother to dream!
And everyday it rips at my soul but, I got it
under control, it's old and ready to fold.
I will never lose heart and I can't give in.
I will never give up and let it win.
I'm ready to begin again.
We are conditional. Programmed emotional
you decide what's inside, and who you want to be.
Balance is key. We are electricity.
The current that flows through you
also bleeds through me.
Kinetic, energetic, electromagnetic.
We are all connected and together affected.
And the pace is frenetic but, this hate is pathetic.
The yin & yang balanced frame is all but rejected.
Positive and negative, guilty as CHARGED
you can decide what's in your heart.
A light spark in the dark, it's just a start.
You can change the world with your thoughts!
Don't let 'em tell you that's impossible!
They don't know s*** man, they've never known!
They can't see through the trees.
They forgot how to dream.
There's too much static in our history.
You can pray and congregate, use magic spells or meditate.
There are many ways to generate
the energy we need to change.
Stay in your lane J, get back in the box.
No one wants to hear about your f****d up thoughts.
Just give up, I mean, you did it before.
Remember us there, half dead on the floor?
It's a "Re-awakening"? Go back to sleep!
Why even try? Just count the sheep.
You'll never inspire, retire, they don't care!
You're gonna die alone J, the world ain't fair!
I'll never stop scrying and prying
to break the code.
200,000 thousand years and we still don't know?
Who we are? Where we're from?
What we are capable of.
Still divided and we never learn.
Love and death.
Birth and hate.
The great debate.
The give and take.
it's not too late...
The energy reciprocates.
We can change our fate!
You and me, we're never alone!
We're so much more than flesh and bone!
The ancient myths and fairytales
of light and dark, Heaven and Hell.
Reflections of what we see.
What has always been and will always be.
It connects us all and goes on and on and on...

How Do We Ignore This?
02:38
|
|||
|
How do we ignore this and still claim we have a soul?
It's not right, wait that's wrong, it's a fucking tragedy!
40 million people barely living on their knees
Slaves to the industry of Human Trafficking
We talk about black vs white all day!
We talk about left vs right but we!
Take a seat and decide to go blind
to this attrocity.
We'll talk about slavery that happened long ago (justly so)
but, here it is in front of our face,
and still we let it go!
The Media corrupted well, they won't cover it
Celebrities, with all their sway, they won't fuck with it
"It's just such a bummer" How would you feel if it was
your Wife, your Daughter, your Sister, your Brother,
your Mother! Think about it and suffer...
They wanna talk about micro aggressions
Divide us up with votes and elections
They got us fighting over Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato head
While everyday, a hundred kids go missing!
Can you put a price on that forehead you've been kissing?!
Will we unite!? and finally do what's right?
put aside our differences for the biggest fight of fights!?
All race and religion we are one in the same,
this effects all, it's part of their game!
One live saved means everything!!
Look, I know it's overwhelming, like "what can I do?"
and, all our other social issues, they're important too but,
open your eyes and realize that none of it means a thing!
As long as we sit idly by and ignore their suffering!

You'll never be one of them
and they'll never understand
That you don't see the world
the same way as they do
You've spent most your life
ready to pack your bags tonight
if you did and never looked back
would they understand?
Just leave it all behind
and start a brand new life
somewhere full of dreams and stars
somewhere you can hide the scars
and when you win this game
they will all know your name
and you will finally make them see...
So, I hear you've got a story to sell, I mean tell
and a heart that bleeds deep as a well
I want to help to help you, help them see
that this world is not quite what it seems
You've got a gift that should be shared
with people in need
to show them more,
show them that they can be free!
Take my word and come this way my dear
grab this pen and sign your name in blood right here
and together we'll make your dreams come true
and they'll never forget that it was you...
It's been some time and now your here
and I see through your tears that we need to be clear
I never promised I wouldn't lie or care if you died
and besides you said you wanted the ride
It's not my fault that it's not what you thought
it would be and your hopes and your dreams
they mean nothing to me!
Don't be bitter that I played the fiddle better
and you were too naive to concieve
your soul is mine forever...

The moon is bright in Gevaudan tonight
Better get inside & lock up tight
The sky turns red & the fog rolls in
in silence say your prayers as the beast draws near
Snarling fangs, a mane of black & grey
eight feet tall and claws like blades
The demon comes from Mont Mouchet
Where they say an ancient evil darkness lives
and witches play
Don't move... Don't make a single sound...
Don't breathe... play dead underground.
If you do what I say, you might live to see the day
and tell the tale, of our town
The moon was full and yyou could hear the howls and roars
in Gevaudan 1764
the ground turned red & the fog stood still
in silence they could smell the stench of my fear
I ran! As fast as I could! Through bloody, broken, wooden
doors! Out to the woods
The beast was too fast, I tried to fight back
it cut me down, sliced me up & went for my neck
I'm going to die tonight!!!
The moon is full & bright tonight
everytime I stay inside, locked up tight
over 3,000 times, I've relived the pain
The curse of the beast from Mont Mouchet...

When I was just a little kid
lying in my bed
They'd come to me in the dead of night
and sing whispers in my ears
Ancient tales from somewhere else
forgotten places and things
that seemed so strange
I couldn't move and couldn't scream
- Do You See!? or Am I just losing my mind? -
As I lay there, paralyzed in fear
I was pulled from earth past the atmosphere
they showed me things that you wouldn't believe
and for years it scared the shit out of me!
Dimensions beyond what we can see
Different sides of reality
This cannot be all in my head!
-Do You See!? What I See!?
or Am I just Losing my mind?
Please Tell Me! This is all a dream!
and everything's going to be fine! -
The things were taught that don't exist
well they are real we just can't see them
Demons and Wolves that look like men
Angels and saints disguised in sin
Witches and snakes fill the party ranks
tricksters fool the fools looking for jewels
and while we're blind the ghosts and the ghouls
run down our halls and hide in our schools...
When I was a young man they came to me again
They showed me more than before
and I began to understand
The world we see is not what it seems
there's levels to this sacred geometry
endless equations of vibration resonations
- Do You See!?
Or Am I Just Losing My Mind? -
I spoke to god about what I've seen
in all the forms of god we've made
These anomolies and horrific scenes
still a theory to science communities
What I know is we don't know
What they are but we're not alone
They'll still eat your brains and
swallow your soul!
- Do You See!? What I See?
Or Am I Just Losing My Mind?
They're Standing Here In Front Of Me
And Everythings Going To Be Fine...

"Not Forgotten" Lyrics
To my family and friends
and the ones that I've loved
I've never forgot all the things that we've done
Through good times and bad
The trips and the falls
I just want you to know that I cherish you all...
I was just an 80s kid growing up in south Houston
My Father was a grocery man that did the best as he can
My Mother, she was everything. Always there on rainy days
to show me love and let me know that
"J, everything is gonna be ok, ok?"
I just wanna say... these are more than just fading memories
There's a part of you... ingrained in everything that I do
In my life... It's an honor to have known your kind
And when I'm gone... please tell 'em just to play this song
My teenage years were such a blur
Got bust acting dumb, took too many drugs
And I'm sorry sis that I wasn't there
I love ya kid and that wasn't fair
I learned a lot by fucking up, what should've mattered most
Got stuck in a rut and lost myself and became a fucking ghost
To smokes and the laughs with friends from the past
The late night talks, the sunrise at last
The shows and the bands, broke down vans
or just hangin' in the park kickin' hacky sacks
The heartache and pain, the grief and the shame
I know I let ya down and I went insane
I've tortured myself for all my sins
All I know is I hope to see ya again.
I just wanna say... these are more than just fading memories
There's a part of you... ingrained in everything that I do
In my life... It's an honor to have known your kind
And when I'm gone... whoever's left just play this song.

I've been feelin' like this is it my friend.
Like one of those guys holdin' the sign
that say "The End Is Nigh"
I'm kinda losin' my mind...
But it's funny to see ya here my friend.
Ya having a bad day?
Everything turned grey?
And you don't know why but, it's not ok.
I get it, I'm psycho-empathetic to it.
Life is fucked up, no matter how ya gotta do it.
and I know it's easy to say,
Don't let what's out of control ruin the day, ok.
But I feel it, the pain inside, the pressure building.
you have your reasons if you say it may be treason.
But I know ya gotta let it go to heal your soul,
to learn to love again.
Everyday you sacrifice and you give everything tonight
for them but where does that leave you?
And as it falls apart, givin' in feels like giving up but you...
Gotta take care of yourself too.
Well the weight of the world is too heavy.
If ya wanna keep the ship steady.
And the doom and gloom is thick in this room
but we'll start over again whenever you're ready.
I feel what you feel, I see what you see,
I hear what you hear. Breathe.
Take a look around you and find what you know is true.
See the reflections and realize that I'm you...
Are ya feelin' like this is it my friend?
Like one of those guys holdin' the sign
that say the "End Is Nigh"
you're kinda losin' your mind...
But it's funny to see ya here my friend.
I'm having a bad day.
In a real bad way.
And I don't know why but it'll be ok...
