Homeworld Bound II

Say good-bye to your home world
Say good-bye to your time
Shift into a newer state
A fresher state-of-mind
Take a look to the future
Don’t matter what you see
Sail away through time and space
Through infinity
[Chorus:]
A world is what you make
Of every single breath you take
Love your world with all your heart
It’s no answer, but it’s a start
Say hello to a new land
Say good-bye to the old
Say hello to the ones you loved
Then place one fist in the gold
Stop looking at the bad
That’ll only drive you mad
And start looking at the good
And everything will be understood
Start living in the now!
[Chorus]
[Guitar solo]
Say good-bye to your home world
Say hello to your home
Say hello to the ones you love
And make this place your own
A world that you can take
A world that you can break
A world where you can thrive
A world that’s so alive!
[Chorus]

|

The bells listen for cracks in the sidewalk
While microphones sing in a shrill whistle back talk
That says more in an instant than some do in a year
The words fly away like a jay in the clear
With a ravenous flutter adrift with a stutter
The crickets recite the sonata of night
A nocturne serene in a curtain of green
Beneath silver stellar adrift in a cellar
|

|

Crashing with the flutter of water on the deck
The vengeance of Neptune is upon me
Frantic and forlorn, I grasp with full force
Rain mixing with sweat and the sea
The river in sight and yet still so far
My ship breaks apart in the storm
Clutching at flotsam yet finding none
As the riptide severs me of form
And yet I remain in this mortal coil
Be it by miracle, luck or design
I am taken away to a strange new place
Covered in seaweed and brine

The Tempest's Might
02:38
|
|
||
Pushed forward by currents siphoned through the caves below
How I am surviving I simply do not know
Through the inky blackness I am beaten to a pulp
My incoherent suffocating plight
Smashed against the rocks in the unyielding tempest’s might
I cast my gaze long into the light
Now the terror coming back, for Neptune is not done
Into a rocky shoal I am flung
I feel the sand remove my skin and welcome the touch of land
And fall and fall unconscious not caring where I am.

The Nemophilist
03:06
|
|
||
Time is drifting, for I am lost
Everything is fading into the past
I need to find food, if I will survive
Simply amazed that I am still alive
No sense of distance, been walking all day
Left to wander wherever I may
Walking for so long, I’m weak in my knees
Sweet komorebi between the leaves
In this forest, I’ve had time to reflect
On everything that led to the wreck
On all the things that were said and done
Everything that made me run

Calluses in the Clouds
02:42
|
|
||
Callouses in the clouds kiss me sweetly with a snap
From the dram of dried dreams of an everlasting nap
Fluctuating quietly as still as summer sleep
One more day of drifting through the deep
Sanctuary solace softly gets me pondering
As I helplessly surrender to the dreamy endless wandering
Underneath the undercurrents underneath the flow
Is a siphon in a cave a place that I must go
Even if I could get there why would I want to go
Home

Orc Swarm

Orc swarm
Swarm of orcs
Spill the blood
Red and warm
Crushing skills
Mace in hand
Chips of bone
In the sand
Orc swarm
Storm of orcs
Orc swarm
Swarming orcs
Die

With a black rubber glove in my hand
I reach down in to the dry desert sand
I pull it up as it filters through my hand
And I remember you have wings and don't care about the land
And while I trudge across an Terre
You are so, so high up in the air
And you laugh at my grunts and my dried up purse
And you mock my sweat dripping on to the dirt
I beg you for water but I know you don't carry
Dismissing my human curse
You fly back to heaven and I die from this thirst.
I die from this curse

Summit
02:34
|
|
||
The pebbles give way beneath my feet, the summit’s too high
I don’t hear them land down below, if I fall I’ll die
So I take a deep breath and look ahead, and I reach for a rock
Just one more step and I will be safe, I just have to not to fall
Reaching out barely there, got to keep my calm
Grasping at nothing but air, looking for anything to hold on
One more thing to grasp, one more thing behind me
Getting nowhere but slowly climbing
[Interlude]
It seems as though I am not getting anywhere
No matter what I do, does anybody care
The pinnacle is miles above, and feeling lethargy
Just one more step to go to get some energy
And look down from the summit

So Many Moments
06:00
|
|
||
All the dreams were shattered like the wine glass on the floor
Never gave enough thought to the dimensions of the door
But in this eternal twilight and the roses left in frost
The snows upon my heart are drifting over what I lost
On this endless highway, crossing mountains, crossing plains
Driving through the desert, through the snow and through the rains
Haven't slept in three days, haven't wiped away the tears
Driving with no destination, wiping away the years
So many moments burned into my memory
So many moments that were planned but will not be
So much for laughter but so many drowning tears
So many moments that took away my years
The highway says that there's a bridge out up ahead
Routed onto backroads, into the countryside I'm lead
Through tiny villages scattered across the corn
Road kill raccoons and shambled barns herald another morn
And so these moments are burned into my memory
All of these confusing scenes displayed in front of me
So much to think about, so many hours passed
So many moments trickling into my past
I haven't charged my phone in days and now the battery is dead
Now way to tell if I'm wanted there, after what was said
No money for a hotel but my tank is full of gas
Doomed to drive until I find myself walking on greener grass
So many moments burned into my memory
So many moments lost that can no longer be
So much for sympathy, so much for all the tears
So many moments left filling up my fears

Countryside Blues
02:01

I've got a gander to wander outside
And gargle a gasp of fish air
I've got a gander to wander outside
And gargle a gasp of fish air
And if you don't understand me
I guess you had to be there
Gonna hole myself up in the countryside
Don't need no help, don't need no ride
Gonna hole myself up in the countryside
Don't need no help, don't need no ride
Gonna find a little place to slip away
Ain't comin' back, ain't no way

Sometimes I feel like I've seen everything
And sometimes I get really bored
But there's a little thing that I like to do
And I'm gettin' everyone on board
So tonight, let's get along
Forget about what went wrong!
And tonight, dance with someone
Make some memories and have some fun!
I know the world can drive you crazy
And sometimes life seems really slow
Sometimes you’ve got to just get yourself out there
Sometimes it's time to let it all go!
So tonight, let's get along
Forget about what went wrong!
And tonight, dance with someone
Make some memories and have some fun!
Everybody that is all around you
Might feel like you for different things
You never know how someone wound up around you
So let it all out and sing!
So tonight, let's get along
Forget about what went wrong!
And tonight, dance with someone
Live in the moment and have some fun!
So tonight, let's get along
Forget about what went wrong!
And tonight, dance with someone
Live in the moment and have some fun!

Unboxing
01:41

So here is the package
Of the new thing I bought
As you can see
They taped it up a lot
Let me get some scissors
And I will open this up
I want to be careful
Just a little snip
Okay so, let's take a look
They sure used a lot of foam beans
They sure are a mess
And are a pain to clean
Alright, the shipping box is open,
So here is the packaging
It looks really cool
Let me get my tin snips
I love this tool
Okay so here it is!
It looks pretty neat
It is a little bit... smaller
Than it looked on the site

Midnight on the Sun
08:20
|
|
||
In the garden late at night the world had given up its fight
To occupy my tired thoughts and left me to untie the knots
I had a chance to reminisce about the things I had dismissed
How I wound up where I am, and that’s where my thoughts began
Weaving strands of tales together like some sort of ball of twine
Makes for something altogether not unlike a grand design
When everything is wrapped up and all the tales are spun
Then we are only left with lonely midnight on the sun
Everybody walks a path built by their experience
That intersects with other paths built from their experience
All these intersecting paths changing all the others’ routes
Make today a starting point for all the future people’s roots
Weaving strands of tales together like some sort of ball of twine
Makes for something altogether not unlike a grand design
When everything is wrapped up and all the tales are spun
Then we are only left with lonely midnight on the sun
Everyone is all connected by everything we do
Ask yourself about the small things that only happen to you
All the little nuisances and all the little nitpick things
Converge on other paths around like resonating springs
Weaving strands of tales together like some sort of ball of twine
Makes for something altogether not unlike a grand design
When everything is wrapped up and all the tales are spun
Then we are only left with lonely midnight on the sun
Remember when you walk alone your path was made by everyone
Who walks a path that you helped build and the job is never done
When your path intersects with who you know or someone new
Your path will change its course from the one that you knew
Weaving strands of tales together like some sort of ball of twine
Makes for something altogether not unlike a grand design
When everything is wrapped up and all the tales are spun
Then we are only left with lonely midnight on the sun
