NO2-4U

NO2-4U that's the way you groove
In you're made up space, In you're happy place
When it's all around you can't stop feelin' all that NO2
That is what's for you
It's a carnival on your favorite day
You've got all your friends here for the big parade
You watch the big balloons float all through the sky
Along with you, you and your NO2
And now you're all confused
What did it do to you?
The price you paid so you can feel this way
Like a numbed up tooth
for a drill to use on a foul decay
You've got all this empty space 4D-NO2

In a circle binge of spinning in loops
I'm asked to move and I'm sure I will soon
On a night where there's storms but the T.V. still works
I'm sure there's someone else who is an office clerk
In a hazy fog a brighter light flickers twice
And what that means to me is that I should the roll the dice
And if I leave the next day will my hands work the same?
Or should I just keep up the pace and play along with the game?
Silk smooth and shiny buttons below me
But far brighter moments and poems await me
When I lost my grip and I feel like I'm slipping
I break from this curse and get rid of that feeling
When my mind is away it flutters and flaunts
To a place where they say is the house of the haunts
But a break from this world makes a comeback more strong
And in the delay you'll find a place to belong
In a room that spins around and around
The walls are too thin to be alone with your sounds
A good setting and time can make this process align
To stay in connect with what you think is your prime
Silk smooth and shiny buttons below me
But far brighter moments and poems await me
When I lost my grip and I feel like I'm slipping
I break from this curse and get rid of that feeling
Being back home a new setting and place
A place you may not see the sunlight for days
To pick up the pen is a process and chore
And the buttons that I see are more simple for sure
But in these nearing months you'll see the pen start to move
And the buttons before me I won't stamp approved
A more productive life I can spend on this earth
To make the greatest times a value more than they're worth
Silk smooth and shiny buttons below me
But far brighter moments and poems await me
When I lost my grip and I feel like I'm slipping
I break from this curse and get rid of that feeling
Silk smooth and shiny buttons below me
But far brighter moments and poems await me
When I lost my grip and I feel like I'm slipping
I break from this curse and get rid of that feeling
Silk smooth and shiny (get rid of that feeling)
Silk smooth and shiny (get rid of that feeling)
Silk smooth and shiny (get rid of that feeling)
Silk smooth and shiny (get rid of that feeling)
Silk smooth and shiny (get rid of that feeling)
Silk smooth and shiny (get rid of that feeling)
Silk smooth and shiny (get rid of that feeling)

People lie and deceive you
Playing you for a fool
Keep your act together son
Don't become their mule
Don't conform to society
That's something I've got to say
Keep on doing what you love
every single day
Turn it on turn it off
You can always choose
Turn it on turn it off
No way you can loose
Turn it on turn it off
You can always choose
Turn it on turn it off
No way you can loose
I've been waiting such a long time
Not a moment passed me by
We could be together
Who are you and what am I?
Social age things get twisted
As they travel around a bit
Your heart has been broken
No one can commit
Freedom so much closer
Closer than you think
All sorts of people
Surely bound to sink
Turn it on turn it off
You can always choose
Turn it on turn it off
No way you can lose
Turn it on turn it off
You can always choose
No way you can loose
I've been waiting such a long time
Not a moment passed me by
We could be together
Who are you and what am I?
I've been waiting such a long time
Not a moment passed
We could be together
Who are you and what am I?
Turn it on turn it off
Turn it on turn it off

Melting Over Nothing
07:28
|
|||
Inside the plexiglass on the outside looking in
When this door breaks when this door breaks
I'm feeling rather rash but I'd rather not let it under my skin
When this door breaks when this door breaks
This place it feels so quiet but I'd rather not open doors
When this door breaks when this door breaks
I'm coming home to the wild to the place I was before
When this door breaks when this door breaks
I'm gonna jump over the stream gonna be loud and scream
So the world can hear my call
Inside this fairy tale where the rocks are large and you are small
We'll flip the cause
O-oh melting over nothing
O-oh melting over nothing
O-oh melting over nothing
O-oh melting over nothing
I'm moving through shapes sounds of light
When this door breaks when this door breaks
I'm taking your place I'm ahead of you now
When this door breaks when this door breaks
I'm king of this world no one's here to call my name
When this door breaks when this door breaks
I'm about to explode becoming one rather than whole
When this door breaks when this door breaks
I'm gonna jump over the stream gonna be loud and scream
So the world can hear my call
Inside this fairy tale where the rocks are large and you are small
We'll flip the cause
O-oh melting over nothing
O-oh melting over nothing
O-oh melting over nothing
O-oh melting over nothing
I'm gonna jump over the stream gonna be loud and scream
So the world can hear my call
Inside this fairy tale where the rocks are large and you are small
We'll flip the cause
O-oh melting over nothing
O-oh melting over nothing
O-oh melting over nothing
O-oh melting over nothing
O-oh melting over nothing
O-oh melting over nothing
O-oh melting over nothing
O-oh melting over nothing

Time Wasted, Wasted Time
04:37

Time wasted wasted time
Sitting in this here cage of mine
Time wasted wasted time
I think I’m losing my mind
Completely free but stuck in place
imaginary weights on shoes of lead
keep me here in my quarters still
I’m weighed down by my own head
Time wasted wasted time still don’t know what to do
Time wasted wasted time
No horizon on this point of view
A contraption nearly motionless
is very hard to start if you don’t know how
but heed this warning friend
it won’t relent once it’s off the ground
Time wasted wasted time (A clue that’s very hard to find)
Time wasted wasted time (a past we all have left behind)
Time wasted wasted time (an act that you consider kind)
Just be sure you don’t lose your mind
Took some time and I got away
tried to go out and find
the chill of night and the light of day
to balance out the scales in my mind
Time wasted wasted time still don’t know what to do
Time wasted wasted time
No horizon on this point of view
A contraption nearly motionless
is very hard to start if you don’t know how
but heed this warning friend
it won’t relent once it’s off the ground
Time wasted wasted time (A clue that’s very hard to find)
Time wasted wasted time (a past we all have left behind)
Time wasted wasted time (an act that you consider kind)
Just be sure you don’t lose your mind
Time wasted wasted time (A clue that’s very hard to find)
Time wasted wasted time (a past we all have left behind)
Time wasted wasted time (an act that you consider kind)
Just be sure you don’t lose your mind

The Method
08:07
|

The method used to play the game
Is only used to perform the function
The present danger that we face
We're taken to the dungeon
The walls and ceilings painted brown
And the cracks and spaces in-between
Who's there? Who's watching you?
You slip you fall
You're sinking down
You're sinking down
You're sinking down
You're sinking down
The method used to play the game
The method used to play the game
The method used to play the game

Rosa
11:03

Give me a second I need to catch my breath
for you Rosa
Can you feel my heart beat through my chest?
For you Rosa
R-O-S-A
That's where I want to stay
with Rosa
Nothing more for me to say
all I can say is Rosa
We'll climb higher than the mountains and the birds
and surge a storm
You and I have never split apart
since we've been born
A kiss goodnight
I return back home to sleep
life could not be better
A lovely night and all is right to me
until I received that letter
R-O-S-A
Won't come home today
She didn't make it
I wish there was more that I could say
I don't know how to break it
I'd fly to the moon and back to earth
and swim around the world and turn the stars
I stare into the clearest pond
my reflection comes unhinged and there you are
There you are you're gone you're not coming around
You are you're gone you're not
There you are you're gone you're not coming around
You are you are you are
You are rosa
My sweet mimosa
My favorite story for you when we grow older
My mariposa oh my only Rosa
We can have all things we wanted today
You are rosa
My sweet mimosa
My favorite story for you when we grow older
My mariposa oh my only Rosa
We can have all things we wanted today
There you are you're gone you're not coming around
You are you're gone you're not
There you are you're gone you're not coming around
You are you are you are
You are rosa
My sweet mimosa
My favorite story for you when we grow older
My mariposa oh my only Rosa
We can have all things we wanted today
You are rosa
My sweet mimosa
My favorite story for you when we grow older
My mariposa oh my only Rosa
We can have all things we wanted today

Keep me runnin runnin on empty
Give me more though I got plenty
I’m an important man
Dontcha see where I stand
I’m a sight to see I got bionic knees and an oil well in my hands
Got a plate in my head it’s protected by lead so even god won’t know plans
Are you afraid of the boogeyman well I’m his big bad brother livin' in the can of marble columns and steps never did nothin that I regret
I got foreign wars coming out my pours there’s a famine every time I smile
All the ends and means of regal queens to keep me round for a little while
Pig hearts and mechanical parts
keep me around long after you're gone
Pig hearts and mechanical parts
one-thousand years old and going strong
I’m the voice in your head when you’re all alone
I’m the maniac with the microphone
I’m the snake that you see on your tv screen
I’m a smooth cold killer that’s a machine
All my plans are revealed
Then comes the day when your fate is sealed
All my plans are revealed
Then comes the day when your fate is sealed
Pig hearts and mechanical parts
keep me around long after you're gone
Pig hearts and mechanical parts
one-thousand years old and going strong
Pig hearts and mechanical parts
keep me around long after you're gone
Pig hearts and mechanical parts
one-thousand years old and going strong

Bird
06:21
|

Some days I'm told
how to act right
But I always seem to contemplate the situation
I used to know
where I was going
But now I"m lost in this abyss of worry
Only one thing here to cheer me up is when
The bird soars through the air
She compresses all my fears
She caresses me with care
She holds back all of my tears
Since no one is around
I can whisper her a sound
She'll come down to say hello
from her nest in the willow
And when it's time to say goodbye
I know that she will never die
She's the star of the show
She's someone everyone should know
She shines
I've been known to frown
I've been known to smile
But lately I can only do the former
Who can I trust?
Who can I follow?
When my mind becomes a scrambled egg
at least there's one thing that I'll remember
Is when the bird soars through the air
She compresses all my fears
She caresses me with care
She holds back all of my tears
Since no one is around
I can whisper her a sound
She'll come down to say hello
from her nest in the willow
And when it's time to say goodbye
I know that she will never die
She's the star of the show
She's someone everyone should know
She shines
As summer fades
and fall turns to winter
The snowstorms remind me of my future
When it dissipates
and it all seems to be over
The class it tips again
and there's only one thing that I can think of
Is when the bird soars through the air
She compresses all my fears
She caresses me with care
She holds back all of my tears
Since no one is around
I can whisper her a sound
She'll come down to say hello
from her nest in the willow
And when it's time to say goodbye
I know that she will never die
She's the star of the show
She's someone everyone should know
She shines
is when the bird soars through the air
She compresses all my fears
She caresses me with care
She holds back all of my tears
Since no one is around
I can whisper her a sound
She'll come down to say hello
from her nest in the willow
And when it's time to say goodbye
I know that she will never die
She's the star of the show
She's someone everyone should know
Is the bird soars through the air
She compresses all my fears
She caresses me with care
She holds back all of my tears
Since no one is around
I can whisper her a sound
She'll come down to say hello
from her nest in the willow
And when it's time to say goodbye
I know that she will never die
She's the star of the show
She's someone everyone should know
She shines

Down the Drain
09:33
|
|||
I hear you loud
I hear you clearly
I know what you did
I heard what you said
I heard what you said
And do you know
why I'm angry?
Cause I know what you did
I heard what you said
I heard what you said
Pick me up
Open my mind up
Oh doc tell me everything you think you know
What it looks to me
is that I must be going
cause life's too short to sit here and listen to you moan
I hear your voice
I hear you laughing
You never came back
You left me for dead
You left me for dead
You dropped me off
and then you left me
You never came back
You left me for dead
You left me for dead
Pick me up
Open my mind up
Oh doc tell me everything you think you know
What it looks to me
is that I must be going
cause life's too short to sit here and listen to you moan
I lost my grip
Then numbed my body
And now I'm spinning
spinning down the drain
Pick me up
Open my mind up
Oh doc tell me everything you think you know
What it looks to me
is that I must be going
cause life's too short to sit here and listen to you moan
Pick me up
Open my mind up
Oh doc tell me everything you think you know
What it looks to me
is that I must be going
cause life's too short to sit here and listen to you moan
cause life's too short to sit here and listen to you moan
cause life's too short to sit here and listen to you moan
