With Blue Skies I see the fear in all of your eyes Dodge the truth and hide beneath blue skies Showers of green political rain The contagious regress Grasping for memory lane Don't wanna stay, affraid to leave here Freedom's far when the end is so very near Air full of lies Breathe in, exhale Burning my eyes Deprived of warmth, the soul goes pale Can you see the fear glowwing in my eyes? Dodging truth and hiding from the blue skies I can feel, I can see Every scorching word that travels through me Like the wounded stuck in pain Like the future of the lame Can see the fear so clear in our eyes We'll dodge the truth Waste away inside our blue skies

Beautiful Disgrace In a terrible place Wishful plague Beautiful disgrace Vanity stumbling around on two legs Every prisoner to pride All greed, gluttonous The world shouldn't have to hide The canvas so kind's not ours Paint running to the floor When the background, gone for good The artist knows what comes first In the picture All colors, just toppings In a terrible place Wishful plague Beautiful disgrace Retinal scan Ink soaked hands No trust No trust Cultivation of the end Victims to a self destructive nature The coming All running In a terrible place Spawning wishful plague From the right distance Just a beautiful disgrace

This Possibility Always night, forever long Never right, always wrong I am the cancer I am the strain My own source Of this derailed train All dissolving Dance in the dream we're sane My own decay Personal fade This disease, no blame Always night, forever long Never right, always wrong The life, the death The day, all the rest Transactions, a transaction Ethereal debit or credit Stability is not in the plan Our evolving Mother Nature Temporary man, chaotic land Ignoring the eminent decay Ashamed of our ways Turning heads from the personal fade When, could it be, just possibly Always night, forever long Never right, always wrong A possibility painfully strong

About a Dead Chemist Grandfather All of your days, your shine Gone out But longer then most, longer then mine Were you a good man? How many chemicals spilled over your hands? Tell me did you have your favorites? Or were your potions peddled in vain? Sell me your mixtures Where are they now? To dine on that Lithium To be high as a Lithium Barbie doll Did you fall in love with Prozac? Where you are can you mail me some? Then like you I can rest numb I saw your desk, looked inside Felt strange, was only months since you had died Oh that shiny vile of Mercury That gorgeous liquid chrome Seductive, so tempting With just a taste, would I find my home? Absurd what we associate with the past An old creature I hardly knew Can't find the lies Hard to say I truly miss you But I give you your own passage Eternal as a dead chemist grandfather
