I'm going down slow
Straight to the bottom
Void from the flow
Still stuck with my ego
My best friend
King of the vast wasteland
Hold my hand
I'll never make it on my own
Just desserts
Reassert it to myself
Just desserts
Reassert it on my own
This is my end
This is my end
My only friend
This is the end
Running away from me
Wasting off the leash
I'm mute and cannot see
(A) Phantom Epiphany
When you're serf and king
Exile yourself from everything
Bloated head of stone
Sink to the end all alone
Just desserts
Reassert it to myself
Just desserts
Reassert it to myself
This is my end
This is my end
My only friend
This is the end
My only friend
This is the end
Self-Reflection/Self-Reduction - MRobinson 12/10/07
Never working anymore
Don't you know I'd even the score?
You wanna fight a little more?
Don't you know what you got in store?
Running round
All Ooo-ver the ground
Pretend it's not wrong
But you've been gone for so long
(break down with instrumental solos from all members)
You have been wrong
And that is why I say...
Never working anymore
Don't you know I'd even the score
You wanna fight a little more?
Don't you know what you've got in store?
You live in a dream
You know what I mean
Pretend it's not wrong
But you've been gone for so long
Never working anymore
Don't you know I'd even the score
You want to fight a little more
Don't you know what you got in store?
Don't you know what you got in store?
Don't you know what you got in store? (abrupt ending)
Wrong Choice - MRobinson 12/3/07
I'd like you to stop in place
Concreted flat to the floor
Don't move, don't talk, don't hurt
Board the windows, lock down the door
I'll be back I swear
Sit tight but cut off your ears
While I stop your heart in place
While I set you back some years
Are you still with me?
Are you lost? Can you voice your thoughts?
No change, don't think aloud
I'll be careful placing you into the ground
Back from my vacation
How was your grandma's room?
Read the paper I gave you?
Straight outta London, Nineteen seven two
Catch the news that I fed?
Left you blank in the steel bed
I won't lie, nothing new
I won't lie, nothing new
Running low, you can't go
Running low, you can't go
I won't lie, nothing new
I won't lie, nothing new
I Won't Lie (Nothing New) - MRobinson 12/1/07
Now that I got it
I don't want it anymore
But once I lose it
I'll scream out for more, more, more, more, more, more
Let me thank you
But consider it temporary
I might change up
And cut you off like stationary
I am waiting
waiting
waiting for my up to go down
I am waiting
See it coming
Coming
Coming down
Accept this sorry
You're so absolutely perfect
But I'm ready
Ready for something else that's new
And I am waiting
waiting
waiting
You won't see it coming
Coming
Coming
Something Else That's New - MRobinson 11/27/07
(talk show host by RH style)
I'm lost at sea
Where no one can see me
Darkened by the clouds
I sit up to listen
The tides turn from white to red
Winds keep the boat drifting
Casting a glance outward
I think I'll watch and wonder
How the ship stays afloat
Guess it doesn't really matter
I've just got to stay on top
Or else I will be going under
When I lift my eyes
Morning comes again
Sitting in a tub of salt
Did I drink all the water?
Waiting is my favorite part
The thrill of being lost
Squint to the horizon
I think I'll watch and wonder
How the ship stays afloat
Guess it doesn't really matter
I've just got to stay on top
Or else I will be going under
When they come to find me
Kindly I'll turn them away
Must be left to think
Must be left to ponder
When I wake tomorrow
Will this have really happened?
Figure it out one day
I'll just watch and wonder
How the ship stays afloat
Guess it doesn't really matter
I've just got to stay on top
Or else I will be going under
Tub of Salt - MRobinson 11/19/07
I wish you never left me
Many times before
And though I'm here with my keys
I can't fight off this storm
I can't fight off this storm
I can't fight off this storm
And now this is not like you
To hold me off so tight
I sit back in this dark room
But you won't flick the light
And if you'd come back around
I'd handcuff you to me
Because I'll never let you go
You just wait and see
I can't change this whole universe
That our love's docked in
But these stars are misaligned
Let me arrange a fixing
I'll push the Sun toward your grasp
If you wanted to grab it
And if your wings were melting
I'd give you mine in a second
And that was not really like you
To hold me off so tight
And though I knew it would change
You always show me the light
And I know you'll be back around
Because you're handcuffed to me
Because I'll never let you go
You just wait and see
And I you'll be back around
Because you're handcuffed to me
Because I'll never let you go
You just wait and see
You just wait and see
Handcuff - MRobinson 11/11/07
I--
would not
mess around
any longer
I walk my paths in straight lines cos I was told it's faster
I best watch my every step or else it could be a disaster
Walking slow, head down low
Wouldn't want to upset the world
Respect the facts, don't talk back
Honor your existence
You know it's true
It is within
Everything you do
Don't restrain
It is within
All surrounding you
Within - MRobinson 11/7/07
Eric walked into the candy store with marbles in his eyes
Colorful wrappers rest on the shelf, biding their own time
Decisions of choice, A choice of decisions
Walk to his own rhyme
Fog into the holes and more
But- once again-
Falling through the floor.
The Ancient Greeks were keen to know just what they had done
Pythagoras stood on the hill, beckoning to everyone
"These words of numbers , numbers of words
Enscribe your mind's ledger
An array of symbols is the core"
But- once again-
Falling through the floor.
The clarity of being coincides with the air surrounding
Smoke and mirrors correlate, all the paths confounding
Two trails of Frost, the frosty trails
But one still grows of grass
Mowing the lawn need to explore
But- once again-
Falling through the floor
Never took much to stare at your shoes, never took much force
Floating down the muddy river was the intended course
Hop aboard the distant ship, the ship made of boards
Careful of the mist and cracks
Beware the rudder doors
But- once again-
Falling through the floor
Eric stood still a little while counting down from a thousand
A Danish windmill, the swinging arms, modern day Pete Townshend
Symbols as numbers, numbers as clocks
Put it all together
Gravity always the core
But- once again-
Falling through the floor
Falling Through the Floor - MRobinson 11/7/07
(Inspired by Dylan's Tangled Up in Blue)
When you close your eyes is all you see is black?
When you close your eyes does it mean that there is nooooo turning back?
When you close your eyeessssss...
When you close your eyes.
When you close your eyes does the world turn to dark?
When you close your eyes is it only to maaaaaaake a new start?
When you close your eyeessssss...
When you close your eyes.
Don't close your eyes
My globe of blue
It's all I need
To know it's you
Don't close your eyes
A hint of green
Tis better to love
Than never have seen
When you close your eyes does my existence end?
When you close your eyes does happinessssssssss depend?
When you close your eyesssss....
When you close your eyes.
When you close your eyesssssss...
When you close your eyesssssss...
When you close your eyesssssss...
When you close your eyes.
(softer)
When you close your eyes does all your seeing cease?
When you close your eyes will it be to enndddddd all of this? (or 'our lease')
When You Close Your Eyes - MRobinson 11/7/07
Redtangle - Programming Baby - Christmas 2009
Beat: - - . . . . .
You- used- to keep me from your home
You- would- ensure I was alone
But- now- you extend me an invite
How- come- we're suddenly so tight?
Would- you- rather be me now?
As- I- wanted to be you then
You- can't- have what I have now
Now- who- is the one alone?
I-------- don't want you to die
I-------- just want to know why
She- will- never be your love
She- was- only there for fun
Ba- by- always will be mine
Ba- by- always by my side
I- want- you to be alone
Feel- like- I had once did
I- don't- to end your life
I- want- you to feel my strife
I------- don't want you to die
I------- just want to know why
I'm better now...
I'm better now...
