Concept of Another

When you walk around
wasting time in town
in your head
all the things that were left unsaid
When you use your words
a careful verb absurd
from the start
with malice that fills a shopping cart
Another minute
Another wasted on you
When you were lying on the bed
a place to rest your head?
turns out that it was true instead
When you make a sound
spinning round and round the point
a prediction you will disappoint
Another minute
Another wasted on you
Another lie on the bed
a place to rest your head?
or were you mouthing untruths instead?
You were lying on the bed
no place to rest your head
all along the truth was dead

Future Instructions

These are your future instructions
pay no mind to useless ill attempts
These are your favorite obstructions
don't think that you are exempt
You do not understand
This letter in my hand
Written for myself
All this time the answer was on the shelf
These are your future instructions
Don't forget to be yourself within
These are your final options
I hold the truth to put you back again

A little change occurred again
the writing on the fence
Cant believe it's every day the beggar pays his rent
A little man who went inside with the rising tide
no one who is ordinary ever keeps the time
I can tell the colors from the shapes of gardens that you sung
I can tell straight away
I can feel it when I sleep
a little suitcase that you keep
I can feel it every day
It's the same once again
the writing on the fence
every day the beggar sleeps out there in his own tent
A big man who came outside
just as went in the tide
anyone who is ordinary always stays on time
I can tell the brightness from the colors written for us all
I can tell straight away
I can feel it when you sleep
a little suitcase that you keep
I can feel it everyday

Fear in the Bridge

sitting suspenseful on the pad
go for system check, anticipation going mad
final clearance, cleared to ride
We'll see you there, see you on the other side
thunder in your bones
lighting underneath
rise into the sky
everyone can see
thrusting ever quick, and piercing the thin air
on our way from there
sailing through the sky
voyage of the cosmos passing by
as the engines flare
a separated stage
light that candle
ready to engage
with a violent jolt, and radio chatter loud
shattered speed of sound
feeling weightlessness begin
we've reached the heavens, look where we have been
all the motion stops
a quiet fills this place
life-support systems
run without a trace
with a steady hand, and precision all the same
we've reached our destination, with glory and with fame

call attention to the place
slow and steady wins the race
keep your distance, at arms length
take the children hostage
expect no help from those above
You said the job was easy
Tell me what you know
under brush and overhead
he was shot but is not dead
blending in with a lab coat
hidden among the others
a quick hand and quiet step is all
They said the job was easy
Now, tell me what you know
at the end the game will change
lies stack up, you gave away
a machine and a single man
a marvel of the science
a kill ballad of mechanized assault
You said the job was easy
Tell me what know you
I know the job ain’t easy
Tell me what you know

the tank stands up
fills a mug with old coffee
he goes to work too early
land has a hangover
these grills aren't selling
why is she still talking
the tank gets home
steps out of his pickup truck
his friends wait in the alley
smokey fears the government
fatso has got no wife
wheels just rambles on and on and on
the tank sits down
the boy has got a cape on now
it's not my fault that he ain't right
finally here comes the leg
noodles sauce and balls of meat
the one dish that she has made her own
