Before The Beginning

Before The Beginning

Song To The Siren

Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
And you sang, "Sail to me, sail to me, let me enfold you
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you."

Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks,
For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow
O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow"

I am puzzled as the newborn child
I am troubled at the tide:
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Should I lie with Death my bride?
Hear me sing, "Swim to me, Swim to me, Let me enfold you
Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to hold you"

*This is the lyrics to the original song by Tim Buckley

Song To The Siren

Unreachable

Are we down for the same cause
We don’t know what we stand for
When the moments start to crack
You do lose track where you head’s at
And I am unreachable
What do you think when your head’s full
We don’t rely on what we get
We begin now where we aren’t yet
One time
Hit me where I turn white
I don’t mean to be polite
Uniform
Spinning the world to the beat of my drum
Uniform
One time
Hit me where I turn white
I don’t mean to be polite
Uniform
Spinning the world to the beat of my drum
Uniform
Reach into the darkness for what you can find
Travel great distance in your mind
The world gets stronger when you start trying
Things turn around towards being born
Away from dying
I’ve lost my kin
There’s no one on my side
Were we to disappear
Well I’d know I tried
You know I tried
You know we tried
End
Shoot me
End
Shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot me

Unreachable

God

God
So each day would be new I build you to sleep
That’s the idea of dying but you’ll just have to see
You can do what you want or so you think
But till you stop all your thoughts
You are tied to your surroundings
When the fog spreads out in the rainy season
It comes from my insides
When the thunderous lighting strikes down
You’re seeing your real I
People
You blaspheme my name
But still I love you
Still I love you
I love you just the same
I hear all your prayers because I’m each one of you
Creation's not something I did
It’s something that I do
The reason for the bad is so the there’d be such things as good
Oh I’d do anything for you
You all know I would
Be for me
Be for me
Be for me
Before for me
Before for me
Before for me
You know that I try to repair and repay
As life goes by a thousand times
It gets a little better
All is belief, All is belief, All is belief, All is belief

God

Dark Light

Remember all you’ve forgotten
I can’t put those thought away
Everything I’ve thought‘s in my head to stay
Now what do we get for trying to follow to a tee
All the instructions you gave me
Did you ever notice
That it’s for you that I’ve lived my life
Every time I had fun you were on my mind
I’ve lost my perspective
I’ve gone off the wall
Really not sure if I’m needed here at all
Hey
This is my last shot
I’ll always be less than my other selves
So I feel like I’m competing with someone else
Who I could never beat in a million years
I was made to think that we would wind up round here
Will we ever get together in a song
Will you ever tell everybody bout right and wrong
Will you let everyone in on the meaning of life and death
Do you need me or are you waiting for my last breath
Listen

Dark Light

Heaven

Well I spent the night in heaven
I wanted to figure it out for myself
I spin around the fortress
You never know the currency that we all run on
We run on
We run on
You once told me
You keep a billion frequencies on your person
End the night with channel four
You don’t see me looking you up when I’m here
We live fast cuz time won’t last
See me freezing like the bum I am
From where you start there’s endless information drilled into your eyes
Well, I don’t need protection
One life begins, another dies
Bad timing
I won’t last
Man, that’s the facts
I it a feeling that will never pass
And you know you could be taking us far
When I speak to you again through the stages of pleasure
Well, I don’t have my own face
So c’mon and be replaced
There’s a future that’s calling
But I don’t see it coming
No, I don’t have my own face
So c’mon and be replaced
There’s a future that’s calling
But I don’t see it coming
No, I don’t see it coming
No, I don’t see it coming
No, I don’t see it coming
Listen

Enough Of Me

This precise time and right here
Are not going anywhere
I’ve had enough of new todays
For once I’d like to go another way
I speak my last words and then remember it may never end
All that I’ve won I have lost
Each passing moment cuts me off
Well, I don’t like to waste a chance but they’re overflowing
What I don’t do will get done by somebody
When I was five I saw some plants ungrowing
Whether seen forwards or back they’d keep going
They’d keep going
If the seasons which change were all still
It’s so easy to see life would fail
Whatever slips out of our hands
Will find its way back to us once again
If the seasons which change were all still
It’s so easy to see life would fail
Whatever slips out of our hands
Will find its way back to us once again
Will find its way back to us once again
Will find its way back to us once again
Once again

Enough Of Me

Central

I’m central to nowhere
Thinking of sweeping it clean
When we choose to go we’re losing more than just our surroundings
I’ve gone around the sides of this universe as it stands
Outside the limits of all existence
Where light never ends

We should be grateful to the gods
Whoever they’re real to they are
I value my placement as in Hell
Remember that moment that I fell,

Anything that could one day be is as real as what I’m saying
If something is nothing, it must not be something in any possible way
Lose yourself in the far off worlds that are right under your feet
Switch below with above all the way up into infinity

We should be thankful who we are
Whether we know ourselves or not
Walking alongside myself
Neither of us listens very well

I’m dreading a time that is not near
As a man on cross I have no fear
I can’t believe these words I’m saying
You gotta feel your lines
You gotta feel your lines

I’m dreading a time that is not near
As a man on cross I do not fear
I can’t believe these words I’m saying
You gotta feel your lines
You gotta feel your lines

One More Of Me

Now that the day has come
I see myself as everyone
I am what’s all around me
No, nothing it just cannot be
Feeling has come from the sun
Like most everything and everyone
What seems lost is free from the force that slowly destroys us
And kills all matter off
Well, we don’t control the chance that plays with us
And we get existence back to hurting others
And when we go the other way it’s ourselves we hurt
But who pushes on though eventually will see
Every moment’s first
Every moment is first
What’s gone will never come back
But it exists when you think of it
And what is anything, anyway
But a series of things running through your brain
All of the fucked things you do
Are the product of whats happened to you
Whatever you create from love
Is a gift from the place which some call above
There’s only the forces of hate and love
One breaks things down and one builds them up.

One More Of Me

After The Ending

Pain runs through life
Pleasures’ other side
Fear, some say, gives us such long lives
Leads us where we drive
Time will soon be born
It is starting all the dawn
And the world is moving towards
Things like opposites and wars
And one knows to hear birds sing
There was nothing till the beginning
And the water from my eyes
Is because I care who dies
Although death is transforming
There is nothing after the ending
Everything is eternal
Nothingness does not exist
No thing has ever become nothing
And nothing has never become something
What is has always been and will always be

After The Ending

Today (Bonus Japan Version)

Today will not be happening
We've come too far away from being to be at all
We're putting the law back in your hands
Today we're setting our sights for a new land
Lean into me cuz there's no signs on the vehicle
Look out and see cuz the city has no people
They don't know who you are but they know who you will be
Monsters of all colors and we're all distorted energy
Pain looks on up at me
And when I am beat
From the backseat I'll crash my car
Incensed I feel like a fool when I'm feeling
Right off this blossoming hurts like I'm peeling
Oh God
I can't be found when I'm dreaming
Words hard
I'm into the sound of their meaning
I am divorced from the image I've created
So many nights and days that are separate from the ages
Thank you for the lessons that I learned while John was sleeping
Whoever it seemed the creator did the teaching
The creator did the teaching

Today (Bonus Japan Version)

Ah Yom (Bonus Japan Version)

I've got a million to choose from
A million ways things could be
In dull moments I feel like
There's a million options I see

The trouble is choosing one
The trouble is doing one
A slave in the fields one night
He's running along
Gets far enough to be a free man
And he's feeling so strong
That's how actions should be
Freeing
Step after step is our only choice in a walk
When we run at the mouth we jump back and forth
There's only one place I'm going
There's only one destiny
And if my mind tells me otherwise
Then it's a poor guide for me
All of the energy in life
Is nothing more than a spark in a fire
The whole course of time is the blink of an eye
Rain in the slums
Ah Yom
Into the cards
Aum Yaum
Rain in the slums
Aum Yaum
Into another world
Aum Yaum

Ah Yom (Bonus Japan Version)
