Joshua West - The Racer

The driver straps on his helmet
And pulls his gloves on tight
The rain has barely started,
It’s due to last all night
He’s memorized the curves ahead
He will not take them slow
Saving the brakes, He knows
he has miles yet to go
The racer knows
When the light changes
He’s gotta go
He knows his job is easy
If he keeps the lead
Keeps looking in the mirror
In spite of his speed
He pushes, strains the motor
Puts it in the red
Keeps his razor focus
his eyes straight ahead
The racer knows
If he pushes too hard
The engine blows
When you are running the race
The only lap that matters is the last one
The racer knows
Until the race is over
You never slow

The fog it covers me
A schooner lost at sea
I have no sight of shore
The fear sets in once more
Is it in my mind
Or am I going blind
Waves crash over bow
May I survive somehow
My life flashes in eyes
I'm praying to the skies
If I can't live this day
Please take me where I lay
Images of home
Distant lands I've roamed
Water's getting high
Is this my last goodbye
Throw me a line
A faint light from afar
Please give me some time
Be my guiding star
A lantern in the sky
My tears they start to dry
To live another day
To shore I'll make my way
A family I shall see
A father I shall be
The tower of the sand
Returns me to my land
Throw me a line
A faint light from afar
Please give me some time
Be my guiding star

some people get up
every morning with the sun
drop a line in the water
and wait to feel a tug
maybe the water isn’t water
maybe the line isn’t a line
maybe it’s brick and it’s mortar
or maybe it’s all gone online
the rules of the game are the same
waiting for lightening to strike
it’ll turn all the water into wine
we’ll be building the dam in the meantime
i walk in the middle
keep my eye on the line
my hands on the wheel
and my blessings in my mind
and if the air becomes lighter
and i’m lifted into the sky
i’ll surrender to the wild blue
i’ll be ready for the ride
the rules of the game are the same
waiting for lightening to strike
it’ll turn all the water into wine
we’ll be building the dam in the meantime
it takes a train
it takes a railroad
it takes ten thousand hands
it takes a flame
it takes cold steel
it takes blood sweat and magic
some people get up
every morning with the sun
drop a line in the water
and wait to feel a tug
maybe the water’s only water
maybe the line is just a line
maybe the metaphors too meta for
its pieces to align
the rules of the game are the same
waiting for lightening to strike
it’ll turn all the water into wine
we’ll be building the dam in the meantime

Corky - Feed The Fire

Feed The Fire
Flack suit ready
You're moving in
Increase the volume where it's never been
Say what you want
A poison pen
Nobody knows
When the sky's gonna fall
You crave disaster for the sale of it all
You can't wait to feel that burn
You gotta
Feed the fire
Fan the flame
It's getting hotter
We're going insane
You gotta
Feed the fire
Pour on the fuel
You're gonna do what you're gonna do
Ain't gonna listen
Ain't no need
Ain't gonna fund the endless greed
Of a wheel that's turning
A big machine
Nobody knows
Where it's all gonna land
The chips are falling into the wrong hands
You can't wait to send that flare
You gotta
Feed the fire
Fan the flame
It's getting hotter
We're going insane
You gotta
Feed the fire
Pour on the fuel
You're gonna do what you're gonna do
Stuck in the middle
Of a parted plain
It's heads or tails in a fixed game
Only a Sith speaks in absolutes
Nobody knows
How to think for themselves
It does or does not matter if your doing well
You got to light that fuse
You gotta
Feed the fire
Fan the flame
It's getting hotter
We're going insane
You gotta
Feed the fire
Pour on the fuel
You're gonna do what you're gonna do

WHERE ARE THE STARRY MESSINGERS?
WHERE ARE THE STARRY MESSINGERS? I DON’T KNOW
I SIT AND WAIT FOR THEM
YEARS AGO THEY USED TO RIDE THE PLAINS THEY LEFT NO REMAINS
GOD ONLY KNOWS
ON A COLD AND GREY DAY I SEEM TO WORK MY WAY
THROUGH AN EMPTY SUBWAY TRAIN THAT ROLLS BY THE CEMETARY
I SEE HALF STRIPPED CARS AND OLD MAN BARS IT ALL SEEMS THE SAME EXCEPT FOR THE LOOSE CHANGE
WHERE ARE THE STARRY MESSINGERS? I DON’T KNOW
I SIT AND WAIT FOR THEM
YEARS AGO THEY USED TO RIDE THE PLAINS THEY LEFT NO REMAINS
GOD ONLY KNOWS

Carrie puts her wings on
One arm at a time
Adjusts the straps and
Won’t look back until the
Pump’s been primed
Turns the flywheel,
Sings her nursery rhyme
No destination
Found her jet-thrust engine
In a rubbish pile
Where I discard my best ideas
When they’ve gone
Out of style
Stole her mother’s finest
Circular file
To rig up a sail
Carrie will you drop us a line
Wherever you’ve gone this time
In your sweet fantastic flying machine
Where does she think she’s going
Fueled with glitter and hope
Once again forgot to polish up the
Periscope
Earned her license while she’s
still skipping rope
Sometimes I wonder
Carrie will you drop us a line
Wherever you’ve gone this time
In your sweet fantastic flying machine
Across seven seas
the Gulf of Cadiz
All lights in your rear-view mirror
Packed away all your dolls
The world’s getting small
and you’re getting bigger each day
Carrie will you drop us a line
Wherever you’ve gone this time
In your sweet fantastic flying machine

Look at all the dead streets
closed up shops downtown's lonely
wind blows through broken windows
of the factory that used to be the town's heart
blood used to pump like traffic
through my veins when you would call
but you left me with an empty heart
went away and took it all
I'm walking through empty streets
shadows and ghosts to keep me company
a sign on my chest that says "closed and moved away"
it's a dead city heartache
all these things i built for you
collecting dust not being used
slowly worn down as the wind blows by
faded words carved in stone you can't recognize
used to be a factory
blood pumped through and filled the city
now it's a home to all of the ghosts
in my mind i call my memories
I'm walking through empty streets
shadows and ghosts to keep me company
a sign on my chest that says "closed and moved away"
it's a dead city heartache
read the message of love i carved
into the stone of the city heart
soon to be the only remains
of a beautiful town now in decay
what once was seen from other towns
now covered in finds, hardly found
it says "through your love I'm given life"
as the elements slowly wear it down
I'm walking through empty streets
shadows and ghosts to keep me company
a sign on my chest that says "closed and moved away"
I know what it means to be a ghost
walking at night through empty roads
don't want to go, but don't want to stay
it's a dead city heartache

Wrote you a letter yesterday
Said the same things I used to say
I’ll never ever let you go
Forgive me for the lies I told
Wanna tell you something you should know
I don’t love you anymore
I don’t love you anymore
Still can’t quit you, losing my mind
Raining cats, puddled streets unwind
I’ll never ever let you go
Forgive me for the lies I told
Wanna tell you something you should know
I don’t love you anymore
I don’t love you anymore
*miscellaneous hoopin' and hollerin' ensues*

Ricdude - Kaiju
06:28
|

You weave a path of destruction
Calamity churns in your wake
Devastation is your proclamation
The havoc around that you wreak
Damage strewn across the countryside
Nowhere is safe from your wrath
Error to let you go free
As hurricanes quake in your path
KAIJU - (solo) won’t be restrained
KAIJU - will break his chains
KAIJU - can no one stop the pain
KAIJU - your terror reigns
KAIJU - come the soft rains
KAIJU - will No one stop the pain
You came from a realm far away
Miles of oceans you’ve crossed
Arrival should have been joyful
Just finding out the true cost
Influence always unbroken
Like Krakens that rule in the sea
Yet I can still see the beauty
In the power you wield over me
Chorus
Passage of time heals all wounds
Forgiving, you know not your deeds
A river can still change its course
You can change your destiny

Who’s got a ladder
Let’s climb the magnolia
We’ll pickle some petals, it’s May
A pickled magnolia
Can never get better,
But none fear her beauty will fade
The younger the flower
The softer the petals
Beware if she’s bitter to taste
A bitter magnolia
Will channel her wisdom
And powerful medicine make
A pickled Magnolia
Will never control ya
Her petals are spicy but sweet
That well worn magnolia
Will know how to hold ya
When you ache from your head to your feet
First boil the water
And blanche tender petals
Heat up that vinegar wine
Add some hibiscus
She’ll blush for you sweetly
Some sugar will do her just fine
A pickled Magnolia
Will never control ya
Her petals are spicy but sweet
That well worn magnolia
Will know how to hold ya
When you ache from your head to your feet
Once she has faded
The cones of magnolia
Can heal the world’s weariest aches
A tincture in brandy will
Ease rheumatism
Allow you to live for today
A pickled Magnolia
Will never control ya
Her petals are spicy but sweet
That well worn magnolia
Will know how to hold ya
When you ache from your head to your feet

v1:
Damn, this heart of mine
Should've been working over time
But I, gave it the day off
-------
Then I woke to find
Like Johnny said, I should've walked the line
But love, just never was enough
v2:
I raced the morning sun
I promised you I'd be the one, until
the falling of the night
-------
Your journey, just begun
A thousand years or less than none
You traded your mind for second sight
pre:
Just when you got control of yourself
You give it away
ch:
And every time you build a home in your soul
You know they won't stay
You're just waiting on the heartbreak
v3:
What's come over you?
You just watched the world break in two
But you, you never looked back
-------
While I believe it's true
I think there's something we should do
And then, we call of the attack
pre:
Just when you got control of yourself
You give it away
ch:
And every time you build a home in your soul
You know they won't stay
br:
You're just waiting on the heartbreak
Another day goes by, still you try
You're just waiting on the heartbreak
You got nothing but time, nothing but time
ch:
And every time you build a home in your soul
You know they won't stay
And every time you build a home in your soul
You know they won't stay
You're just waiting on the heartbreak
