Would Be 06:53
Deep within a mountain scene, a mad scientists machine. Creatures form out of the saxophone, just to match the jester's tone. When it all aligned, swam in circles, climbed up to the top and ate down to the rind. When it all aligned, gasped for air, they swam up to the surface, just to bide their time. Changes in the atmosphere, A revolution drawing near. Morph into a beast unknown, the path emerges, yet unsown. When it all aligned, swam in circles, climbed up to the top and ate down to the rind. When it all aligned, a gasp for air, they swam up to the surface, just to bide their time. Deep within a mountain scene, a cigarette and hot caffeine. Creatures thrust into the great unknonwn. Threading through, the path is shown.

Loosen your tie, split in two. What will you remember when it's asked of you? Silent sayings will lead you down the spiral path. How will you emerge out of the aftermath? Locust Lane leads to the buddha's head, and you're walking the tightrope between alive and dead. A loose grip; you can't see when you mind is red. Don't slip on the turmoil! The path is slick and full of dead ends. A quick fix won't sustain, but the moment is important; don't wait in vain. Give me a moment, with my left ear. I'll stay until i've heard what I have to hear. Give me a moment, to contemplate my fear. The tale of the impossible engineer. Give me a moment. With my left ear. The tale of the impossible engineer. Loosen your tie, split in two.

Catch 06:00
Throw it out, and hope they bring it back to you. We're making music because we're supposed to. I am the mockingbird that sings, but you don't have to clip my wings. I am the wild dog that barks, with nowhere left to leave my mark. A fire inside a circle of stone, desperate to break free and roam. A forest never seen by man, not molded by a selfish plan. Driven by my primal urge, I thrust into a color purge. And although they all mix to one, each color feels the need to run. The predicament that we live true, the self sustaining super glue. But the glue will fail when its found out... It'll dry and peel when there is doubt. Purpose isn't what you once believed, some self-fulfilling prophecy. Instead, it lies where we can't see. You'll pay the cost, when it's not free. When it's not free.

J.I.G 08:02
I brace myself, for that plunge down into the deep. He speaks in 3's. My comfort, I could not keep. I should've known that look was the last one we'd share. I've given up asking why life isn't fair. I now know the secrets I thought you had once kept. The emerald hypnotic gaze, and away I was swept. Meaning is given, but in the end it slips to the grave. I try holding onto my thoughts, but it seems they're all melting away.

Sea Cerebral 09:29
Wading through the cortex, thoughts up to your knees. Dive into sea cerebral, sink down with blissful ease. When I finally found you, you were tangled up in thought. I tried to explain, but it was too much to be taught. To be sea cerebral. Spin out from the looking glass. Cut the mist, reveal the task. To be sea cerebral; No sign of land, the physical laws start to bend. To be sea cerebral; Dramatically stumble and saying what hasn't been saying. Lost in a sea of juice, trapped in my mind and asking, "what is the use?" Letting the current take the sense of all reason down to the depths of the lake.
