Stardust
03:09
|
|||
Sitting in a vacant room, waiting for the apocalypse
a lover's kiss, summer bliss, all I miss an aeroplane
and as I wait, my soul does gain colours
countless shades, of sister's and brother's
to imbue, to all of the others
a gift to you, before I am stardust.
An honest mirror, a sober view, this mortal shell,
holding me
express your love, really feel, the callus world is just
a skin disease
and as I wait, my soul does gain colours,
countless shades, of sister's and
brother's
to imbue, to all of the others
a gift to you, before I am stardust

It Was Nice
03:34

It was so nice, to talk with you, and share the evening time
Shadows dancing in the candle light, the warmth of the fire, in our eyes
I haven’t felt like this in so long, I transcribe simple words into song
Shadows dancing in the candle light, a symphony in my mind
It was so nice, to talk with you, and share the evening time
And share the evening, time
Shadows dancing in the candle light, the warmth of the fire, in our eyes
I haven’t felt like this in so long, I transcribe simple words into song
Shadows dancing in the candle light, a symphony in my mind x2

My Old Friends
04:04
|

All of my old friends are all gone, even the new ones don’t come around, often, enough, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I remember hangin’ out, at the lake, listenin’ to endless recitations of a mixed tape,
She was a good one though, such a good one,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Everything has changed but I’ve stayed the same,
N’ that’s how it feels but I’m sure it’s not that way,
Everything has changed but I’ve stayed the same,
N’ that’s how it feels but I’m sure it’s not that way,
N’ bein’ alone,
Was like singin’ a song in the county jail, the beer’d be good but the bread’d be stale,
It was like singin’ a song in the county jail, the beer’d be good but the bread’d be stale,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everything has changed, but I’ve stayed the same,
N’ that’s how it feels but I’m sure it’s not that way,
Everything has changed but I’ve stayed the same,
N’ that’s how it feels but I’m sure it’s not that way

Written, like a journal, the occurrence, is diurnal
I, feel, as, though, it, is, not, to entertain
though the by-product, shall remain
a shell to hide a pearl
were wisdom not to wear any other thing
any other thing, any other thing
such is the kernel of the seed
please feed so it can breed
altruistic adorned in music
I welcome you to feel blessed
and keep on listening if you are deaf

Kitanyas
02:40
|
|||
Always slow like molasses in my skin
When she appears the blood begins to thin
The way she moves the sultry song that she sings
Remove the clothes and the heat yet further clings
The tiger is upon us
Pisces mythical saunas
Kitanyas
Kitanyas
Blood is boiled beyond hope
A shower in water to try and cope
If this is sin then I go to hell
A cooler place for me to dwell
Kitanyas

Comforts of Floyd
05:02
|

Let the sunlight bleach my bones,
let them throw sticks and stones,
I know I'm going home, I know I'm going home
Opinions are all null and void,
so lozenge yourself on an opioid,
maybe succumb to comforts of pink floyd,
whatever you do, don't become annoyed
Have you let the sunlight bleach your bones,
have you grown old, and weary, scary
Have you looked inside it all,
and found a lonely old strip mall, to sell your lonely wares
and really, who really cares
opinions are all null and void,
so lozenge yourself on an opioid,
maybe succumb to comforts of pink floyd,
whatever you do, don't become annoyed, (don't),
whatever you do don't become annoyed,
whatever you do don't become annoyed..

Guitar Porn

I ain't no gear head, but I like my guitar porn
I ain't no gear head, but I like my guitar porn
though I'm thoroughly convinced, the only box I'll ever love is the one with strings attached
I'm thoroughly convinced, the only box I'll ever love is the one with strings attached.
The rhythm the melody, the plectrum, the capo
the rhythm the melody, the plectrum, the capo
I ain't no gear head, but I like my guitar porn
I ain't no gear head, but I I like my guitar porn porn

Traditional Love Song
04:00
|
|||
She cuts ribbons, of diamonds out of the night sky
Distant moons, quasar and nebulae
All these things, I see when I look in to her eyes
Her voice a sonnet, like no other
So complete, and full of composure
Rendered weak, from the exposure
Why would you want, any closure
Be-cause when two hearts meet,
That are crazy about each other,
It is the perfect madness
It is love, love, love
{Break}
The words are wrote, though there are blank pages
I yearn to see, the coming of the ages
Be-cause when two hearts meet,
That are crazy about each other,
It is the perfect madness,
It is love, love, love

Grass is always greener, on the other side
How many fields will you pass, before you arrive?
At the conclusion, that it’s all just grass
Neither in the future, nor in the past
It can gleam like an emerald
It can gleam too
Foster your imagination
Into a tasty stew
A little water a little sunshine
It can be the same hue
Focus on the blades that poke us
Be wary of the time
Nature gives a second chance
Keep that in your mind
Grass is always greener, on the other side
Look within every television, to learn the lies
Society spins yarns and builds barns to, compromise
Grass is always greener on the other side
Grass is always greener on the other side
Who’s side are you on?

Sum
03:17
|
|||
Some, get by on beauty,
and some, are good with their hands,
and some, feel there is a goal,
Phineas Artillery.docx
and some,
feel they are fat.
Conscripted into being, some throw it away,
some are taken...
The rest until it's too late
(Solo)
Inadvertently stealing, simultaneously feeling,
What is this?
We're revealing?
The floor of the theatre shakes,
and threatens to give
way
Micro, Macro, cosmentality
Choosing our reality
Different pre
-
wreck visits
If it adds or subtracts, what is the purpose of the sum?

A Good One At That
03:13
|
|||
You said you were my friend
And I was ready to defend
But did something else catch your eye
Or did you get caught in a lie?
Like a fruit fly to a glass of wine
A fruit fly to a glass of wine
To a glass of wine
Glass of wine
I would have had your back
If you coulda picked up the slack
I didn’t wanna attack
But I see you’ve got a knife
I see you’ve got a knife
And if you could see the beauty
That I see in you
The colours wouldn’t fade
This story would be great
All these things will pass
When changes come relax
Life’s a bitter friend
Lonely ‘til the end
But a good one at that
A good one at that
A good one at that

Gauge..............................
Phineas Gauge began: as one man’s creative endeavour, a pseudonym, a gestalt of ideals within a vision, an imagination; like an albino octopus sprouting new arms, still growing ever stronger, more diverse.
