The minutes of the days
Just dwindle
I can feel my time
Growing shorter
There are things I’d like to do
But I don’t know how
What should be left behind
For the next in line
Ripping up my troubles and
Throwing them in the breeze
I won’t let my frustrations
Leave me on my knees
Little thoughts left in a box
For others to reveal
I don’t wanna play you
The fiddle
I know what has value
In this world
I’ve been tearing the walls down
To the ground
I’m as free as I can be
When you’re around
Placing thoughtful treasures ‘round
So they remember me
From what I’ve gathered
It’s the only way to be
It’s the purpose as
Far as I can see
High and low
As we go
We row
Like Heroes
The minutes of the days
Just dwindle
I can feel my time
Growing shorter
There are things I’d like to do
But I don’t know how
What should be left behind
For the next in line

Pushing On

You called me out
You took the garbage out
And yeah you put me down
The world’s gone mad
But no I’m not sad
I keep pushing on
You think it’s tragic
But that’s the magic
That makes me strong
They run their fucking mouths
But nothing comes out
Until I write this song
I win this time
Maybe next life
The act is plastic
I think you’re spastic
Feeling all alone
Give a dog a bone
Or leave it roam
The choice is yours
I don’t care
About your worries
Or whatever the story
You’re on your own
I feel just fine
Toxic half-whit
Still don’t get it
The earth keeps turning
Even while it’s burning
Life goes on
There ain’t no time
To deal with your lies
Not anymore
And I’ll be riding high
While you sit there and cry
And let everybody know
Can’t stand your face
When it’s looking that way
You know it turns me off
Thick as a brick
That’s your whole schtick

Feel the sun on your skin love
Let your hair hang down
Forget about your worries
The time to live is now
Put away your sorrows
Let’s hit another town
The car I drive is yellow
It never lets me down
Get out of our way now
We’re never slowing down
Put away your fangs clown
I don’t wanna run you down
Let me see your halo
Let me see your crown
Have yourself a smoke now
Give a scream out loud
Don’t bother lacing your shoes up
Better dress it down
Put your favorite shades on
Later I’ll be round
We got plans
We’re in a trance
And we’re heading for the hills
I can see the alps
Outside my house
And I know what to do
When we get there
There’ll be no cares
In the water by the stream
Smash my phone
Burn my home
Don’t need it anyway
Drive all night
Feels alright
Windows down
No cops around
Sleep outside
They’rll be no fight
Play the radio loud
With the windows down
Feel the sun on your skin love
Let your hair hang down
Forget about your worries
The time to live is now
Put away your sorrows
Let’s hit another town
The car I drive is yellow
It never lets me down

I’m a pilot
Come aboard
My very own air-o-plane
It’s got first class
No lines
I promise you won’t have to wait in vain
Trust me
You’ll see
A blanket and some pet therapy
Lightning is our fuel and we’ll fly so high
Through the stars
In the night sky
Brace yourself
For the ride of your life
In the clouds
Looking down
I think I can see your house
Oh, it’s kind of small
I feel bad for you
But don’t worry
Don’t cry
You’ve got a seat on my ride
We’re leaving in 3-2-1
Be it true
I wanna fly with you
Hold my hand
And enjoy the view
Climb on aboard now
Let’s get out of this town
Lift up off the ground
Later on we’ll come down
Drinks are on me
Just relax take it easy
Up up up and and away now
Who knows where we’ll touch down
I’m a pilot
Come aboard
My very own air-o-plane
It’s got first class
No lines
I promise you won’t have to wait in vain
Trust me
You’ll see
A blanket and a martini
Lightning is our fuel and we’ll fly so high
Through the stars
In the night sky
Brace yourself
For the ride of your life

Glass Promises

I cannot tell a lie
And it’s the best way to get by
Sorry for your feelings
If the truth hurts you’ll know why
I will not even try
It seems these days
To be out of our hands
As the leaders feed us lies
The best of friends
Are complicit as well
They pull the wool right over our eyes
It doesn’t mean that I don’t have my regrets
About all the things that I haven’t finished yet
But when I do I’ll tell it to you
And I’ll spare you any threats
Yeah it doesn’t mean that I don’t have my regrets
I’ve got starry eyes
And a big old grin
As you come in your disguise
I stay floating around
On a puffy cloud
Why would you bring me down
I don’t know
But I’ve been told
That I should not tell a lie
But I know they will
With precision and skill
It keeps them rotting from inside
Glass promises
When you put them down
They break my friend
Little alibis
Later on we’ll hear their cries
Don’t be surprised
When the walls close in
Before your eyes
I know you tried
But your energy
Just makes ‘em cry
Don’t shatter my dreams
With false hope of respect
Or promise anything
That you know I’ll never get
Tell me true
Like I did it for you
And it will be for the best
Don’t shatter my dreams
With false hope of respect

Hey man
I think it's time
That you cooled things down
We’re waiting
Struggling on the ground
You’re playing
With fire and
You’re spreading it all around
We’re drowning
Mother Earth’s time is running out
Times are tough now
And freedom’s been denied
And it's hard to keep a level head
When the world’s so cold outside
Power is the strategy
That I cannot abide
With your finger on the button
As the people die
The bad guys
Going in for the kill
Clutching dollars in their hand
I can’t breathe
How many times
must these words resound
Screaming
At the top of our lungs
As you wear your plastic crown
Laughing
At the chaos you made
With the hatred from your mouth
It makes me sick
To see my neighbor's live like this
Garbage fills the ocean
As the smog becomes the sky
It's hard to push it forward
When a heavy hand’s laid down
It isn’t my playbook
To be governed by a clown
Big head
Back down right now
Get out of our pockets
You let us all down
Its crooked
The way you run your mouth
You’ll be blinded when the light prevails

Left behind piece of yesterday
Memories scattered lie in decay
Shattered mirrors and pentagrams
Now it’s a set for a different play
From decadence to decadence
Another way
Sicuramente svanirà tutto
They never imagined it’d look this way
A broken-down mansion where hoodlums stay
The vines of time hide its pedigree
Now it’s a graveyard of memory
Through a cracked ceiling
The sun shows it’s face
La natura sta prendendo il sopravvento
A tattered old chapel where they once prayed
The kids painted graffiti on Jesus’ face
Down in their graves they don’t look so rich
Now the taxpayers’ dollar is safe from their grip
From decadence to decadence
Another way
Sicuramente svanirà tutto
