God (Is REALLY Trying)

I'm the kaleidoscope of highs and lows
The sum of all my triumphs and defeats
Each day I pass the point of no return
While dragging through this neverending street
Prayers and wishing well
Are simply not enough
My compass has been wrecked
By randomness and luck
It's easy to miscalculate
The role of will in your own fate
And fall for the illusion of control
But there's nothing for it but to try
To do your best to do what's right
And let it go, and let it go
I'm the kaleidoscope of highs and lows

As Long As You Care

As long as you care
You're exposing yourself
To all the pain in this world
As long as you care
You're listing for rent
A certain part of your soul
You let somebody see your vulnerability
As long as you care, as long as you care
As long as you care
You will carry the weight
Of all those thoughts in your head
As long as you care
You will overreact
To the words being said
Forgotten memories will haunt you in your dreams
As long as you care, as long as you care
Getting to the depth of human life
Has an inadvertent side effect
Heartbreak heartbreak heartbreak
Hangs like a sword of Damocles
And cuts before your know
As long as you care
You'll be left on your own
If the others do not
As long as you care
You will look for someone
Who would share what you've got
Afraid and insecure, you'll fall for any lure
As long as you care, as long as you care
All of us are bound to recognize
And face up to the imminence of loss
In the end the things we love
Will hurt us the most

Tainted Urine Blues
02:11

10-year olds entrapped in grown men bodies
All around
Every other demographic's taken down
An acceptance of reality
Forms the greatest feat
As they're worshiping the cult of self-deceit
They think the country's standing in the world
Is intrinsically connected
To their sense of worth
Totally oblivious to flops
They'll inflate this shaky bubble till it pops
Cushy job with total lack of duties
And boss's grace
Meet our national idea of success
69 percent of labor forces
I would surmise
Do exist to only hinder normal life
Mediocrities turn to elites
When the frame of reference
Rests on feudalistic deeds
Loyalty is the topmost attribute
If you don't object you're doing good
Misguided flock will go to any lengths
To keep these vital lies alive
But the outlanders will be unimpressed
They'll only make a "cuckoo" sign
Every drop of podium champagne
Has the undertone of tainted urine from the lab
And those tricolors are waving in the stands
Like a thousand pairs of poisoned underpants

Alivier Than Thou

Everything happens for a reason
Burst into this feeling
Experience the moment
Feel it! Merge and flow together!
Listen to the Universe
Look within yourself
Keep away the negative!!!
You have everything you need so anything is possible!!!
It will be alright if you believe
There’s nothing to fear except the fear itself
You’ve taken it seriously all your life –
Now play it like a game!!
The world won’t bring you down
Because YOU are the world!!
Fill it with your energy!
You're good as you are, let the joy unfold!
Why are you so stressed out?
Don’t be such a bore
Think away your thoughts
Open up your heart
Relax, relax, relax, relax, relax, relax, relax, relax, relax, relax, relax
The space is dancing around us
Don’t get out of resourceful state
Avoid toxic people
The Gemini sun is in your professional tenth house
and is forming a boosting connection with stable Saturn retrograde in your work sector
Don’t take your dreams for granted
Pay attention to the signs
Whatever happens, happens for the best

When We Were Old

If God's got it covered, why the vagaries?
And where do these foibles come from?
Crown of creation is equipped with fatal bugs by default
Logical thinking and instinctive needs
March to the beat of two different drums
If ever there was an able ghost in the machine, now it's gone
Time after time I keep trying my hardest
To rein in my choices and harness my actions
I'm focusing focus and minding my mind
But it's not good enough to withstand
Forest of neural pathways is a wild wild place
It's incredibly easy to get lost
Latent desires and urges are pinballing around till they are exposed
Time after time I keep trying my hardest
To rein in my choices and harness my actions
I'm focusing focus and minding my mind
But it's not good enough to withstand
The strength of my unconscious self
That will send all my zeal down the tube
Everything just happens and disappears with time
Motive is unrequired so as reason why

As I walk into this crowded bar
I see a familiar sight
Of smiling chattering people all around
But inside me there are wild waves
And they crest and crash and roar
Drowning every vagabonding sound
All over again this raging violent storm
Has enthralled my tired restless heart
So when the barman spots the denizen
And shares his gracious smile
I lean towards the bar and gently ask
Pour me the pint of understanding
Chased with the shot of concern
Give me the taste of belonging
Lord, it's been really too long
I'm so jaded by the endless search
For peace of mind
Going up in smoke no matter what
The more you fail the more you get discouraged
As the warning signs
Show their ugly face at every turn
I need something else than everybody else
To find my place and finally feel alright
And even though my route is well defined
And provision is in place
It would be nice if someone joined the ride
Pour me the pint of understanding
Chased with the shot of concern
Give me the taste of belonging
Lord, it's been really too long

Punk’s Not Dead

It's time to desist from attempts to shake off
This state of disconnect
It has always kept me company
Since I can't remember when
Oddly enough I would never say
My pursuits are that unique
Yet I've become a maverick
In the eyes of normal breed
Indeed, ignorance is bliss
I've gotten used to undissembled shrugging
And the quizzical expression on the face
Of any random soul that I opt to confide in
But it will hardly make me change my own ways
No no no no
They wouldn't know about my inner conflicts
And all the sacrifice
While I don't get their vanity
And inflated sense of pride
To them I'm another clueless loser
Unable to compete
To me they are bunch of jumping jacks
Like some characters in Sims
We are agree to disagree
I've gotten used to undissembled shrugging
And the quizzical expression on the face
Of any random soul that I opt to confide in
But it will hardly make me change my own ways
No no no no
How did I end up in this place
With its hostility to nuance
And repulsion to diversity?
This is my last remaining life
And I won't settle for the rat race
I'll smash this low grim ceiling with my feet
I've gotten used to undissembled shrugging
And the quizzical expression on the face
Of any random soul that I opt to confide in
But it will hardly make me change my own ways
No no no no

Hey you, tribalistic warrior
Enough with this baloney!
Is it so hard to comprehend that above all
You represent yourself, the one and only
Wider bonds?
They surely do exist
But shouldn't be at center stage
Don't pretend your interests are determined
By the membership in certain social groups
Stop reducing life to simple power struggle
Between "us and them" where one will lose
It's not that they gather round
To think up better ways to bring you down
It's just that evolution tends to be ingrained with self-regard
How can you improve conditions of oppressed
If you deny that someone else can truly feel their pain?
Universal empathy and logic are the key to basic fairness
And equity for every Homo sapiens

Morbid Aversion to Dying

How come that everyone is going mad but me?
Codes of conduct have turned upside down
When comrade is bigger threat than so-called enemy
There is nothing to do but to brace up and
Run at the top of your speed
I gotta get away
From this insidious trap
Before it will swallow me
Some would offer grounds for why it's really no big deal
That will daze me and make my hair curl
The others can't be bothered to doubt a single thing
Fully wrapped-up in making the most of it
Long time ago we got caught up in this vicious circle
Where every day endows you with another near miss
Flashes of wisdom and dignity stick out like sore thumbs
In this depressed caravan of bleak wasted years
Wash, rinse, repeat
Until nothing remains!
How come that everyone is going mad but me?
Codes of conduct have turned upside down
When comrade is bigger threat than so-called enemy
There is nothing to do but to brace up and…

Uncertainty
04:30

There's a truth we can't escape
And ironically it helps to bring me solace
You see, the chaos underpins
The very essence of all things and it'll never change
As entropy prevails
Our forward thinking fails
There's no way but to accept
An invitation to the unknown
You just have to understand
That it's all about the path, not destination
Every milestone that you meet
Is a reason to proceed and long for more
We're always almost there
Bizarrely unaware
That behind this checkered flag
Looms a shadow of a starter gun
Clarity is gone
Before we get a clue
This world is so complex, what can you do
I will spend this fickle life
In attempts of making sense
Of all the people I'll become
And events that might take place
Always ready to embrace uncertainty
