Song Lyrics from the album Hierocliffics
Forever Ago
When all that you know of everything
was brought by someone else
since forever ago when fortune reigned.
Take me back to that better world.
In the sea of light
I'll drown with you tonight.
Keep the dream alive.
One day it will take flight.
As far as you know, the way to be
depends on who's around.
You're high and then low, but never free.
Insane for lack of a better word.
I'll drown with you tonight.
Keep the dream alive.
One day it will take flight.
When all that you know of everything
was brought by someone else
since forever ago when fortune reigned.
Take me back to that better world.
In the sea of light
I'll drown with you tonight.
Keep the dream alive.
One day it will take flight.
As far as you know, the way to be
depends on who's around.
You're high and then low, but never free.
Insane for lack of a better word.
I'll drown with you tonight.
Keep the dream alive.
One day it will take flight.
Pocket
I wanted to be close to you.
But one day someone asked me
"Why are you so crazy for her?"
Maybe we could leave together.
Always you and me forever.
I thought I had you in my pocket for sure.(2x)
But you didn't wannna go away.
You didn't wanna go away.
You didn't wanna go so far away. So far away.
How can you talk to me so patiently?
You make me wanna ask you why
cuz you sometimes remind me of an
ancient cave with worn out witches:
home to all the superstitious.
But you didn't wanna go away.
You didn't wanna go away.
You didn't have to go so far away. So far away.
With a pocket full of money and a pocket full of time.
Got a pocket full of money and a pocket full of time on me.
I got a pocket full of change. In the summer it would shine.
Holding 27 pennies and a quarter and a dime on me.
I wanted to be close to you.
But one day someone asked me
"Why are you so crazy for her?"
Maybe we could leave together.
Always you and me forever.
I thought I had you in my pocket for sure.(2x)
But you didn't wannna go away.
You didn't wanna go away.
You didn't wanna go so far away. So far away.
How can you talk to me so patiently?
You make me wanna ask you why
cuz you sometimes remind me of an
ancient cave with worn out witches:
home to all the superstitious.
But you didn't wanna go away.
You didn't wanna go away.
You didn't have to go so far away. So far away.
With a pocket full of money and a pocket full of time.
Got a pocket full of money and a pocket full of time on me.
I got a pocket full of change. In the summer it would shine.
Holding 27 pennies and a quarter and a dime on me.
The Attic
Don't be so sporadic.
Get your head out of the attic.
Can't you see what's going on?
And I'm always waving my hands to you to "hi".
But there's something that's confusing me. Just one thing.
Why everybody wants to grab a rope and pull the sun down.(2x)
Why does everybody wanna grab a rope and pull the sun down?
Don't be so sporadic.
Get your head out of the attic.
Can't you see what's going on?
And I'm always waving my hands to you to "hi".
But there's something that's confusing me. Just one thing.
Why everybody wants to grab a rope and pull the sun down.(2x)
Why does everybody wanna grab a rope and pull the sun down?
Underground
Winter time under fallen snow.
It's over now there's nowhere to go.
So I'm waiting underground.
Summer time and the days are long.
I'd break the earth but I'm not that strong.
So I'm waiting underground. Underground.
But why? I haven't been gone all that long.
There's so much I can do when I'm underground.
I can think about everyone,
and how all of the people are overground
but they don't even notice the sun.
Underground.(4x)

August
I'm just coming off 79
saying how I really wanna touch the sky.
I'm coming from the dark.
I'm just commenting on what it should be.
This is not an image of what I wanna be
but I'm coming from the dark.
I want more.(2x)
I don't wanna be the one coming from the dark.
I don't wanna see the door slam on your foot.
You wonder, am I falling? Yes I'm falling down.
I'm just coming off 79
saying how I really wanna touch the sky.
I'm coming from the dark.
I'm just commenting on what it should be.
This is not an image of what I wanna be
but I'm coming from the dark.

I don't wanna be the one coming from the dark.

My Disguise
The water's in the sink.
Of course not literally water.
It's deeper than that.
And the sink is not a sink, but,
actually I think symbolic of my
entire life up to now, somehow. Somehow.
I shop at toys r us, somewhere a kid
can be a kid, no matter what their age.
Cuz I'm holding on to youth.
The sweet nostalgic memory of
endless summer days playing outside.
Asleep here, we'll rise with the tide in sunshine.
No fear. No reason to hide. You are mine.
If life were a maze, I'd be lost.
Cuz I don't know what's going on, for the most part.
And I'm wasting my time trying to
figure out what is so wrong with me.
Will only the strong survive?
Asleep here, we'll rise with the tide in sunshine.
No fear. No reason to hide. You are mine.
In a moment I'll go down the street
and attempt to make myself complete.
And maybe I'll walk away with something new.
Maybe a nice disguise.
Fake beard, glasses, and tie, you are my
secret, how I get inside, you are my
fake beard, glasses, and tie you are my...
simply, a way to hide, you are my disguise.
The water's in the sink.
Of course not literally water.
It's deeper than that.
And the sink is not a sink, but,

A Hypothetical Jar
Inside of you, I am confused.
There is no sky to feel.
I have no air to breathe.
Look to the world outside.
I can see everything.
A hypothetical jar.
Inside a hypothetical jar.
I'm inside.
No forests. Just CO2.
Feel dizzy and confused.
Losing my mind slowly.
Losing my life quickly.
One with a world apart.
I can't see anything from the
hypothetical jar I'm inside
a hypothetical jar. Inside.
Seems like I have fallen into a place
where I fear the world is winding down.
Inside of you, I am confused.
There is no sky to feel.
I have no air to breathe.
Look to the world outside.
I can see everything.
A hypothetical jar.
Inside a hypothetical jar.
I'm inside.
No forests. Just CO2.
Feel dizzy and confused.
Losing my mind slowly.
Losing my life quickly.
One with a world apart.
I can't see anything from the
hypothetical jar I'm inside
a hypothetical jar. Inside.
Seems like I have fallen into a place
where I fear the world is winding down.
Lunch With Panda Bears
It's only in my head.(4x)

No picnic baskets.
Munching on bamboo.

Year of the Comet
End when the farmer sings ingosital.
He made a promise to me.
We very greatly appreciate the fall.
Think of the Saturnal rings.
Pretend you've got it all.
Pretend you've got it
all of these places we know.
The year of the comet is gone.
And we will be dead soon.

Sunglasses
You were waiting outside.
I was on the phone.
You believe me I guess.
As I walk out the door,
you're no longer alone.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Then we slowly walk hand in hand
down the sidewalk to your gray sedan.
You remove your sunglasses so that
your eyes are no longer hidden.

Into Night
Somehow today was here but it just slipped away
out from under my nose and disappeared
into night. Into night.
And I don't know where I am anymore.
I'm so far away from who I used to be
that I don't know who I am.
I don't know who I am anymore.
And somehow today faded away
into night. Into night.
And I don't know where I am anymore.
Somehow the day faded away into night.
Into night. And I don't know where I am anymore.

Song Lyrics from the album Saddest Factory
Titular Track
I step outside to pour a glass of wine.
It will be different this time.
I happen to be the saddest factory.
But it will be different this time.

When I lie in your arms,
everything fades away.

Crawl to another star,

Grazing interstellar dust,

I think I should fly to a different galaxy tonight.

Will You Be Mine?
She's more than just a friend of mine.
She knows exactly how I feel inside.
She's more than just a friend of mine.
I know I'm never gonna live this down.
Cuz she's all that I can think about.
And she's more than I can live without.

Lying Around In Circles Holding Hands
Didn't you ever hear about my plans?
Joining by los dedos de la mano, yeah.
And being awoken by sunlight in sands.
This time I intend to be the one who lands.
This time I intend to be the one who lands.
This time I intend to.
I am awoken by sunlight in sands.
Lying around in circles holding hands, oh yeah.
Seychellean summertime, it burns.

Riding Out The Wave
All new things I try to do.
Trying to find a different view.
But all this time I'm without you.
Riding out the wave.
And I can't believe that I left you all alone.
But that's what I did, and now our time is gone.
I'm riding out the wave.
A wave of inebriation.
Alcohol intoxicates me.
I can't be sober without you.
I'm riding out the wave.
I still can't believe that I left you all alone.
But that's what I did, and our heaven is gone.

Last Chance To Fly (It's Going To Happen)
Can someone tell me please
where do I come from and
where do I belong?
The seasons change. (2x)
I wait alone for answers.
And I see not a one.
I wonder if they're coming
to join in my confusion's
[end/and] by spring,
if everything is going
perfectly to plan,
yes I think it's going to happen.
Is there someone out there?
Being alone is hard to do.
Is there someone out there?
Being alone is hard to do.
Unfortunately found you wanting to die.
Everybody wakes up.
And then one of them whispers
'last chance to fly'.

Estuary
Drowned mouth saltwater wedge, estuary.
Fly me into the sky so that I can
observe and record things,
data from way up high.
As I scribble in my field pad,
all of a sudden I no longer feel bad.
Cuz giving knowledge to the world
is what I, what I want to do.
Making everyone more aware of
brackish water zone geomorphic hydrodynamics.
This is my dream.
I'm in an airplane flying again.
And I don't feel bad now.
No I don't feel bad now.
I don't feel bad now.
No I don't feel bad now.
I won't be sad now.

Memories of Heaven on a Warm Summer Day
I'm making my plans.
I'm making my plans to leave.
But I don't think it's time.
Will I survive here for more than another year?
I hope I'll remain fine.
Only time will tell if I will be well.
I gotta make it out alive
so the world I find is the world I need.
Cuz it lives inside me, and it eats me away:
memories of heaven on a warm summer day.
It's time to leave. (6x)

Maybe there is more I came to find.

Autumn day.
Hear the sound.
See the leaves
touch the ground.
And whisper. They whisper.
There is nothing I can do to make
you feel the way I want you to.

Go On
There's one thing that I don't understand.
Why suddenly you've got to find your way home.
Fair in the deadest of the evening, cry on.
Ask me why I treat you this way.
I won't say anything. I can't.
I need to find a way to go on like you did.
In my life, there's no hope, there's no direction.
I need to find a way to go on like you did. (2x)

Sign of Life
I won't beat around the bush.
I have to go cuz I'm running out of time.
I won't beat around the bush.
I have to know cuz I'm running out of patience.
You found me looking around
outside for a sign of life.
This side of me.
This side of life.
The side of me that I don't like.
From what I dislike I try to hide.
But this may be a sign of life.
Do I pretend to know everything?
Well I don't.
Do I pretend to see everyone?
Well I don't.
Will I pretend to be anyone?
No I won't...
...pretend to see everything.
...or pretend to be anything.
I won't beat around the bush.
I have to go cuz I'm running out of time.
I won't beat around the bush.
I have to know cuz I'm running out of patience.
You found me looking around
outside for a sign of life.
This side of me.
This side of life.
The side of me that I don't like.
From what I dislike I try to hide.
But this may be a sign of life.
Do I pretend to know everything?

Do I pretend to see everyone?
Well I don't.

It's not that hard to be everything you want to be.

And it's not that bad to fail.

who never went out.
To sleep without sugar
is always alright.
But once upon a little time,
the day became night.
And into never never land
went this poor soul.
Took forever to return again.
When she did she was old.
To sleep without sugar
is always alright.
Now once I was a little boy,
but day became night.
We're well beyond Sunday.
Come on and check us out.
Now once I was a little boy
who never went out.
To sleep without sugar
is always alright.
But once upon a little time,
the day became night.
And into never never land
went this poor soul.
Took forever to return again.
When she did she was old.
To sleep without sugar
is always alright.
Now once I was a little boy,
but day became night.
Beautiful Girl
I wanna be I wanna be the one today.
Would you like to dance?
I wanna be I wanna be the one
to dance with a beautiful girl.
I wanna be I wanna be the one today.
Would you like to dance?
I wanna be I wanna be the one
to dance with a beautiful girl.
The Idome
The Idóme, the insatiable demon of my existence. Otherwise known as sexual desire. The Idóme, a presence of greedy unrest. The inexorable fiend forever has and forever will haunt my every dream and my every awake. Each minute of every 86,400 minutes is spent at the end of a powerful leash...a leash in the hand of this desire. It turns my eyes and beats my heart. It feeds me lies and bloods a part. A fundamental end of life is to persist as life. An end that creates The Idóme, who enslaves me into a means. Enslavement achieved by an obliteration of logic and an illusion of love. Lust at first sight, then comes love-possible, then goes all logical. To see every new face and body without concern of what ticks behind the eyes...this is to be enslaved by The Idóme. Who wants what it has, never stops wanting what it is having; and thus, in reality, wants nothing at all...but is itself wanted? The Idóme. The end of life wants it and it does not want. The end of life has it and it has me. I don’t need what I think I need, but I continually feed the unfeedable. The undefeatable. I am always driven by this tool of life. How frustrating it is to be a means to an end that has no end! I write of this in hopes that I will find a way to enslave The Idóme. To be the master of my own desire is my dream. I have spoken many times of a 'switch' I wish I possessed so I could turn off The Idóme whenever I pleased. How much easier life would be if I didn’t have to try and constantly ignore this dagger of desire in my side! I am always bleeding from this wound & yet always tending to it with metaphysical bandages of focus and anti-distraction cream. The Idóme would tend to lead me to a love I do not want. A love based on physical attraction. This cloak of lust hides the true beauty I seek. Must a girl first pass through a physical attraction detector in order to be included in my conversation? The Idóme would say 'Yes, most definitely.' I disagree with It here. However, I am its slave...so I must succumb to its will or I will no longer be.

What comes after K?

Song Lyrics from the album Big 10 Dog Masquerade
Tree Song
If I could keep you in the ground,
I could live beneath your shade.
We could breathe together, and we'd be fine.
But I, I don't see you holding out.
And if you die I die with you.
Why can't I realize what you're
going through, and that I will too?
But I see you're holding out now.
I think I should be controlled.
Before we're out of air.
If we knew now how it was then,
could we be happy once again?
If I could just lay off the trees,
we'd breathe.
I must control my population.
I must control my stupid nation.
They're making more of me and taking all of you.
But I see you're holding out now.
I think I should be controlled.
Before we're out of air.
If we knew now how it was then,
could we be happy once again?
If I could just lay off the trees...
If we knew now how it was then,
could we be happy once again?
If I could just lay off the trees,
we'd breathe.
If I could keep you in the ground,
I could live beneath your shade.
We could breathe together, and we'd be fine.
But I, I don't see you holding out.
And if you die I die with you.
Why can't I realize what you're
going through, and that I will too?
But I see you're holding out now.
I think I should be controlled.
Before we're out of air.
If we knew now how it was then,
could we be happy once again?
If I could just lay off the trees,
we'd breathe.
I must control my population.
I must control my stupid nation.
They're making more of me and taking all of you.
But I see you're holding out now.
I think I should be controlled.
Before we're out of air.
If we knew now how it was then,
could we be happy once again?
If I could just lay off the trees...
If we knew now how it was then,
could we be happy once again?
If I could just lay off the trees,
we'd breathe.
Personality Compliments
On the top of a hill in the middle of a great big dream,
I awoke to find a river, too shallow for a stream.
The fish swim by without ever noticing me on the shore.
Weary like I've been up all night running around in
the fields that enclose the river and my town.
What are you waiting for? (2x)
A signal from the sun to open up your eyes?
Oh how it seems to me. Well you were always in sight. (2x)
We fade away more and more each day.
But what can you do?
Stop worrying about the little things
that matter so much to you.
What are you waiting for? (2x)
A signal from the sun to open up your eyes?
Oh how it seems to me. Well you were always in sight. (2x)
You were always in sight. (3x)
And I think that maybe you should go.
Maybe you should go away. Away. Away. Oh...
Our love is too bright. We're only one
step away from this. I swear it might be true.
But if we miss, our love is still bright.
And now my life's filled with envy.
Oh how has this become?
Well now my life's filled with envy.
How has this all begun?

I'm So Happy
You're dancing to the beat.
I know the words repeat. It's alright.
That's what you pay me for. It's alright.
That's what you came here for.
I'm so happy to be here now.
I'm so happy. I'm so happy now.
It's not like anything will ever be
the way it used to be. Days go by.
Time passes by with me.
One day I'll cease to be
and I'll exist without time.
So all I want is to hear you laughing.
All I want is to see you smile today.
Smile today.
And be happy that you are here now.
We're right here. And days go by.
I'm so happy. I'm so overwhelmed.

New Love Interest
Quasi-alcoholic bout. A dreadful 97-day affair
consisting of life without one single day of
sobriety or a lack of love desire.
Hopping from bar to bar. Losing control.
Bound straight for a nowhere star.
And every pair of girl eyes was an exit
to love by virtue of simple physical lure.
A drunk lust defines pure dissatisfaction and blindness.
Once again.
A drunk lust defines pure dissatisfaction and blindness.
Hey (8x)
QAB, your time has now been
broken apart, forced to a halt.
It's time to get back to life like it once was. (4x)

Walk Away
Life is not a trial to exist.
But everyone's so caught up in this.
Like trying to catch a falling star
in the day. It won't happen. Alright.
We walk along the interstate in any state.
It doesn't matter where we are today.
We'll be home tonight.
What if I came rushing in?
Would you slip or would you fall
and not remember me at all?
What if I was just dreaming?
Would you feel the way I do while
little stars fell all around you?
Oh if I was just sleeping.
Time is all we have, baby. But there's
so much more I have left to do. And some
of them may talk about us and say we were
gone again.(5x)

Confession
Haunted by hollow reasons.
Her majesty's fear of treason
spawned in me an independence breach
and stripped my confidence.
A promise holy forgiveness
carved my afterlife in stone.
Thus I'm haunted by hollow reasons.
I'm haunted by hollow reasons.
I am the one who said I loved you.
That doesn't really make it so.
And though my sins won't be forgotten,
throughout my life I'll have control.
I'm haunted by hollow reasons.
They usually follow grievance.
Steal away in the noon sunshine
but end up in the rain.
Once alive and full of breath
but now hypnotically serene.

Rendezvous at Halifax
Light is no good, baby, sometimes
things just don't go your way.
Believe in yourself and maybe, one day,
you'll find the right words to say.
Baby, we will not go away. (2x)
And now I can say I've lost you again. (4x)
The light is no good, baby,
sometimes things just don't go away.
45 starlit nights, a dream of,
wallowing in the midst of many.
We will not go away,

Now I can say I've lost you again. (4x)
I know the light will bring me down some way. (2x)

Happiness
February came and went. I am no longer 19. No way.
My girlfriend in Ithaca, NY broke up with me.
Happiness is so far away this afternoon.
Sad day. On the way down. And when I
hit bottom, they'll be nowhere left to go.
So I don't care if I get out alive this time
maybe the grass is greener on the other side.
Either way you'll have to fly.
All the times I leave behind.
I wish I could find them.
All the times I've left behind.
I wish I could fly away.
And never come down. And I won't hit bottom.
And there'll be somewhere left to go.
So I don't care about their point of view.
Cuz deep inside I know you're a part of me.
I am such a part of you.
As far as I'm concerned.
Do you realize?
Away. I'm gonna be fine.
I wish I could fly away.
Away. Yeah, I'm gonna be fine.
I wish I could fly away.
I'm gonna be fine.

Millionth Hypnostar
This is verse number one.
I really don't have much to say.
But I feel like singing.
So I'll keep it anyway.
Down, down, down to you.
Blind of all my senses.
Leaving thoughts of comprehension.
Blind of all my senses.
Living thoughts of apprehension.
Maybe I'm too blind. Maybe hypnotized.
Maybe I'm just fine. Mabye, maybe, maybe.
We're all alone. Give me a sign.
I'll walk you home. I'll say goodnight.
There's a million stars above us
but somehow we lost our way.
The world at our feet.
The hope in our stride.
Save me a seat.
Take me along for the ride.
There's a million stars above us
but somehow we lost our way.

Hackneyed for my ABCD
There's nothing to sing to my
love she don't already know.
She's ten miles down the road
and she's not coming home. No.
I feel you coming on. (2x)
Is there nothing I can do
to make you feel the same?
Is there nothing I can say?
Cuz I'm probably hackneyed again.
Would they sing along anyway?
Even though I'm probably hackneyed again.
There are no lyrics I could
write to put her in my arms.
I could tell her I love her
but she'd have already known.
I feel you coming on. (2x)
