Not allowed to strum the same chord A blooming rose in moonlight Torn from thorn to thorn Ties that bonded me Have got me quite mis-screwed Sounds of happiness Withered and misused No time to cry The days are brand new An all-time high Our path has been skewed Change is gonna do you good Forever love is all I hold To keep these tunes in bloom For me and you So stomp your heart out & push on through Give sounds that groove & move you to the truth Yeah

In troubled waters She's my harbor But nowadays She's there no longer And I Oh, how I cry She's lied I've cried But don't pity me If fate says it's so I'll be swallowed by the sea Please set me free Oh please baby In troubled waters She was my harbor On shallow days I drown in sorrow No fear of the waves A curse sent from sea To sail with no love Is a death soon to be Please set me free Oh please baby

Laughing out loud When they shame you Find skeletons in your closet Hid from view Face the fears Hold them dearly near The pain so beautiful Burning Lavender Lava We lurk for colors To paint our aura A bloody red sword Spills your true color Keep your red eye So open my fellow We'll die one day So peacefully mellow Too many voices ruling A foolish weak mind Laughing when I cry Truly choking inside Don't hold your tears Shed them with your pride They'll bring you down Till you're six feet out of sight We look for colors To paint our aura A bloody red sword Spills your true color Keep your red eyes So open my fellow We'll die one day So peacefully mellow "Life's too hard" But mistakes are lessons Crying isn't weak Toughness won't prove strength "It's too tough" This only shows How much you could hold Till you break down and explode Living in a world so blind We'll take eye for an eye So when the moon rises It's a sign to keep on fighting

Foolish young man Hung up again Unlucky sunuva gun The man is on the run Out on the midnight To sin until the end You better watch out for him my friend Cuz he acts like a dirty old man With his raggedy hands drinking his gin No one likes a dirty old man With no good intentions You're hand to hand Behind your back Grip on to the blade It's your life you've got to save No other choice C'mon & listen to the voices Creeping around your brain Cuz he acts like a dirty old man With his raggedy hands drinking his gin No one likes a dirty old man With no good intentions It's all the same Every spoken language Slither, crackle, sparkle Tensions get hotter & hotter Love is a game Put a fool to shame N' it's so much worse When no one knows your name Cuz he acts like a dirty old man With his raggedy hands drinking his gin No one likes a dirty old man With no good intentions

What'd I do to you, baby What'd I do to deserve your pain What'd I do to hurt you, baby I never want to make you feel this way I just want you feeling good Feelin' good, baby Feelin' good Feelin' good I want you lifted off your toes Let's get in bed and do the rock and roll With your eyes closed and your mind smiling to the sky You pull me tight to tell me everything's alright What did I do To make me feel this good Tell me, tell me What'd I do, baby To make me feel this good (What'd I do?) I'm pullin' on your hair Got your legs in the air And you just don't care, yeah Oh yeah Feelin' good baby I want you feelin' good Yeah yeah Feelin' good

Mama knows best Water not getting better Spewing out Blacker than pollution in the weather Every summer Drying faster than Sahara No meat, no milk Animals relying on the weather High emission Of cold lead In the veins and brains Of many children left dead Waiting for the truck of life To pass on by Comes traveling down like a pharaoh Cash in tears falling from your eye You don't bat an eye To see the terror Happening miles & miles away from your own hood Lands of sand & Not a drop of water Starving families with mothers, sons, and daughters Whatever you're doing to the earth You're doing to your children The world works in cycles & So is the life of man You don't bat an eye To see the terror Happening miles & miles away from your own hood Lands of sand & Not a drop of water Starving families with mothers, sons, and daughters No The heart of man turns away from nature Will quickly harden to stone The heart of man turns away from nature We'll quickly harden to stone

Washed up or dried out We'll go out with the fish Catch you on the flip When the polarities shift Cosmic radiation Frying cells and circuits Flying high is your cessation Navigation is dead Trek miles to Mars Pollute and park cars Inhabit another planet Screw it all to watch it fall Then DO IT AGAIN! Cuz we can't learn the lesson Nights in the southern sky A peak from the sun Different color tones Sight so beautiful It's the end of us Underground is where we're bound Micro waves emit; civil war, superstorms The ship gon' take a hit From the sun hot heat So good, the last thing we'll see It's love hun Don't keep your lips shut C'mon speak I've hit the crux Please give me what I need Way down is where the town will be Away from this world Lost in eternity The air that we breathe is ceasing to be Crops and wild life going extinct 'Lites falling from the sky Bad boy, no more t.v Head outside, an endless walk With the girl of your dreams Way down is where the town will be Away from the world Lost in eternity Way down is where the town will be Away from the world Lost in eternity

Worry is a misuse Of your imagination You can find it hard to Feel that it's worth making Yeah you want it all But it don't come easy No, it don't come easy When you're buried in worry Don't break your back to see You're lost in the sea of dreams Are you gonna worry or heave? Go on a high

Yellow Days & Red Eyes I see Blue Skies With the White Clouds They drop Black Rain I feel Purple Pain It's all you see The hue of Green (No no) I'd say that you're a fiend But between you and me We all gotta eat But that's not for me So just let me be Colors, I just wanna see some colors Oh-ho colors I just wanna feel some colors Yeah (Yellow Days & Red Eyes I see Blue Skies With the White Clouds) They drop Black Rain I feel Purple Pain But I don't know why Colors, I just wanna feel some colors Oh-ho colors I just wanna feel some colors
11.
I can't stand to be alone anymore I need your help to get me up off the floor Gimme your love Learn the ways to live for two Love & Happiness Don't prepare For hate and sadness The traits of self change Is known as wisdom Harm in habits Peace unto you The need for self change In the void of comfort Harm in habits Peace unto you Time has passed I feel stuck in a rut Thoughts of "Freedom At Last" I've missed out on some fun Forbidden love It's not right, but meant to be Expect the worst Being in love and happy The traits of self change Is known as wisdom Harm in habits Peace unto you The need for self change In the void of comfort Harm in habits Peace unto you
