Another Run

Where should I run?
Should I run into the sky?
Who should I save?
I understand who I should defy
When should another run decide who lives or clarify?
Every little thing, smashing down a king
Tilt or maybe swing, taking out a stinger
Floating on the Devil's wings
Maybe I should cry
Every little thing, breaking up a ring
Dirty little thing, burning out a king
Flowers bloom in spring, spreading everything
Skipping on a fling, tilt or maybe swing
Creeping on a sling, nothing else to bring
Maybe I should sing
Where should I hide?
Should I crush or crucify?

I brake upon the Moon to take away
I wake the sleeping giant to break away
Another angel meets its end, failing forces to defend
It takes its time to fade away, it shakes the Earth and burns the sky
I wonder who pretends to save the Earth and make amends
It's time to hide, it's time to run, I wonder if I'm the only one who flies
I hide beneath the Earth to fade away
I defy the sleeping fools to find a way
A machine to answer all our prayers, almighty progress to despair
It takes out souls and binds our minds
Erases truth, our memories unwind
Should the planet meet demise, would anyone be surprised?
Maybe there's a second chance, another generation to advance

Run away. Fade away.
A thousand miles I roamed to find another empty home
No light, no life, no power, no roads, no signs of hope
The Sun will burn or maybe scold, another night out in the cold
No safety net, no stash of gold, A firefight will unfold
Another shell burnt to the ground, the ashes hold a treasure found
No safe harbor, a sentry bound, I'll make my way under ground
Find me, save me, take me back a hundred years
Find me, save me, bury all my fears
The ground will swell and knock me down
The fire breaks all around me
A dozen voices in the air, can't lead me away from your despair
The fight is gone, the wind is real
And now it's time for you to heal
Run Away. Fade away.
Before the cities fell I never took the time to heal
And now you're everywhere
Everywhere
The Moon is soft and harsh
No time to rest, it's time to move on
No safe harbor, a sentry bound
I'll make my way under ground

Saturday Morning Faster

Above all the clouds in the sky, an Eye, in a flash, raining power alone
And I, taste the acid ice storm, defy when they tell me to conform
Below, on the wings of a gull, annul secrets and lies
As the stories arise, despise when they show you the truth
It's the power of youth, able to transform
Status Quo breaks the back of my youth
Overthrow those who fracture the truth
Although I haven't done anything but intermingle and sing
Hide away everything
And grow, in the failing Sunrise, try to rationalize what I let transpire
Try to rationalize as the fires explode
Deep below changes force my decay
Dominoes know me backwards and sway
The Status Quo that broke the back of my youth
The undertow, and now I fracture the truth

Born in raised in Madison, WI. Transplanted to Brooklyn, Jamaica, and finally Springfield. Versed in chamber pop and rock, psychedelic and prog, and expanding musical horizons to experience electronic and ambient musics and experiment with modular and chaotic synthesis.Overfed with science fiction and fantasy and actual science. And stay-at-home dadness. ... more

Albums like this are why I expanded my own musical tastes and experimentations. I can only hope my instrumental synths albums sound half this cool!
