Take another little hit
And after that you'll quit
The devil's on your shoulder, he's screamin for more
You try to read a mind
That's locked itself inside
You're blinded by the high and you're screamin!
You don't even know my name
It's not some kind of game
You're playing with your matches and gasoline
You're a liability
You're bursting at the seams
You're playing with your matches and gasoline
I can swim
But I know I can't breath at the bottom of the sea
Try to win
But no amount of money, could keep me from my honey
Wash the venom from your veins
Break out from all your chains
You've opened up the lock with the golden key
You have yourself to blame
You tried to make it rain
You're high up in the haze, ride the lightning!
Walking hot coals
means burning soft souls
Blind me, heal me
melt me, fear me
I don't know why you
can't just live life through
No one hears me
No one's listening

Crime of Passion

I met a man who said he’d lost it all
His head was spinning from the force of the fall
The year was ’65 when he lost his little boy
And for 47 years he’s been tripping on his toys
So I don’t blame the man for what they say he’s done
He didn’t use a knife and he didn’t use a gun
Instead he took a match to the bridge to enter town
And walked away without a word as he burned that fucker down
The day was dark and grey, and the rain was coming down
Mixed in with the motor oil and seeped into the ground
The wheels began to slip, the wheels began to slide
He closed his eyes, lost control, and drove over the side
The river shimmered, the fire made it shine
When years of metal riveting had started to unwind
The old man cried, as he burned away his chains
He’ll forever hold his little boy in the bloodflow of his veins

You'd say, I can't hold on any longer
You keep on floating away
I know your somebody's daughter
And I will treat you that way
You'd say, I gotta outrun the smoking gun
You keep on running away
I know you're somebody's only son
And I will treat you that way
We'd say, we can't hold on any longer
We keep on floating away
But we're a son and a daughter
We can't forget how to play
We can't forget how to play
When I reached out to you
You offered me your hand
We left those frigid oceans
Finding hope on barren land
So when I exhaled, blowing letters, not just the o's
Scholars years ago labeled it the Rosetta Stone
So I credit you, for shaping the clay
That fabricates my muscles, and my matter that is grey
By linking up my molecules and put them on display
Cause evolution made me human, made the man I am today SO
We'd say, we can't hold on any longer
We keep on floating away
But we're a son and a daughter
We can't forget how to play
We can't forget how to play
And old man once told that the fittest survive
Those with the wanderlust, the ones with the drive
So when I pack up my bags, start my future, set fourth
I'm heading back to the bay, my happy place in the North
Know that it's for a reason, it's been genetically coded
Like weather to a season, like the pistol's been loaded
Yea you're product your mother's smile, ecstatic with tears
You're the product of a journey that took millions of years

The Crow

He's got 1 eye, no teeth, and they call him The Crow
He escaped from a prison down in Mexico
Now he's after your fortune, he's after your gold
And he won't stop a looking till your blood runs cold
So bury all your money at the center of earth
or else The Crow will tell ya just how much your life is worth
And when he comes a knockin, don't open up that door
Cause you know you'll find a 12 gauge, pointed at your core
He rides a black horse, black heart, he's loosing control
legend after legend, he's a 1000 years old
yea he's ridden with the mongols and he lives by the sword
His head is wanted cross the Earth for handsome reward
So when start I tell you that you'd better run and hide
He's got a 1000 years of darkness, bottled up inside
Never underestimate a man without a soul
Cuz he's here to take your life away and they call him the Crow

Modern Ritual San Luis Obispo, California
Futurepop from the Central Coast of California. Electronic dreams and subsonic nightmares. Liquid melodies with heavy bass dynamics and light etherial break downs. This is what happens when Jefferson Airplane, E-40, and a robot bang and reproduce. Drenched in digitalism with the understanding that Humans are analog waveforms. ... more
