Dawning Eternity

The sun explodes as we unite
and the moon's in toe and so is the tide
The buzzing alarm, and here's the new days sun
but something's different, the end of the world has come

It's the end of the world tonight
and man does it feel alright
I wish everyday would end this way
one big bang, and make it all go away

The stars across the sky, they shine, they cry
why do I even bother to try? every dream's now come and gone…
The comet cluster is spiraling down to the ground,
Our beautiful red sun, has burned out brown

It's the end of the world tonight
and man does it feel alright
I wish everyday would end this way
one big bang, and make it all go away

Endless Forgettance

Hey Endless Forgettance
I hear you've been treating me
for this disease they call dependence
on my personal history

I just want to drop you a line
to let you know about last night
How after all these bottles of wine
I found some insight into lost time

So what's better...
To have lived and lost?
Or never to have lived at all?
Maybe it's better not to remember at all

While history keeps repeating its lessons
most of us are skipping the class
While learning life is best left guessing
what we're going to learn fast

So what's better...
To have lived and lost?
Or never to have lived at all?
Maybe my doubts will be my fall.

And even though some might make right
What goes on generations strong
It makes more pain than it might
if we would just enjoy the song

So what's better...
To have lived and lost?
Or never to have lived at all?
Maybe it's better not to ever recall.

So goodbye to my life...
to all my days and all my nights
won't you remember please...
even when I can't remember me

She Eats Creation

Have you ever loved someone
who was careless with your heart?
Have you ever been rejected
and blamed it on the cards?
Have you ever failed to notice
her feelings have parted?

My hopeless romantic I've got some news for you
Your girl's empty handed when it comes to loving you

She eats men for breakfast
don't you know about her past
she's got a long line behind her
of hearts she's cast aside
every last ounce of you
couldn't keep her holding on

Not at the speed of interest
she's losing every moment!

My hopeless romantic I've got some news for you
Your girl's empty handed when it comes to loving you

The Benefit Of Being Caged

In this crazy gone world
freedom's the word I crave
All these bridges long burned
Are making me turn back to the day

Once upon a time we were chained
to a pillar in a cage
Forced to make amends with our minds
before we lost them to the grind….to the grind

And now this vision is so global
and everyone's online with their soul
We're changing our ideas of prison
From steel bars to false visions

Yeah boy,
The benefit of being caged sure has changed
We're still trying to break these chains
but nothing's changed, oh nothing's changed.

And in the distant future when we travel
to the ends of the Earth
We'll still be banging the bars with our tin cups
'cause no freedom is ever enough

Yeah boy,
The benefit of being caged sure has changed
We're still trying to break these chains
but nothing's changed, oh nothing's changed.

Now I've lost all I have learned
and I'm destined to burn and bake
but nothing is learned by being worried by my mistakes

Ugly Luggage

It's no secret I'm an open book
I've seen plainly how grim things have looked
And I know there's no cover for trouble
When you're full of doubt about yourself
about yourself

I've had enough of stuffing
this ugly luggage everywhere
I've had enough of stuffing
this ugly luggage everywhere

Maybe I'll hop a plane somewhere
Re arrange my care

Collect my suitcase stickers from every air port
And grow my beard for sport
Yeah baby the safest way to travel
when you're leaving me behind
Is telling me so plainly that I will survive

I've had enough of stuffing
this ugly luggage everywhere
I've had enough of stuffing
this ugly luggage everywhere
