Future Chemicals

And when I spread all my fears out in front of me Little pieces that puzzle me Buzzing like a swarm of bees I turn my coat and back away from the maybes and might have beens Like a mortal enemy No more hiding away I will look to the future Life come life goes No more hiding away I will look to the future Bad days have been this way Sad days have passed this way Tragic days may come my way But with my eyes open wide i will look to the future And when my head and my heart just agree to disagree The devil and the devotee Tripping up economies Breathe in and take a leap across the chasm of modernity Step back into sanity With my eyes open wide i will look to the future I will look to the future Bad days have been this way Sad days have passed this way Tragic days may come my way But with my eyes open wide i will look to the future A look to the future Gather up the fear then put it in a box Grab indecision and smash it on the rocks Push out the doubt and change up all the locks

As a pretty little piece of your chemistry Hijacks its way deep inside of me With every living cell up and on the run System lock down and set to stun But here we are home again They're coming for me Here they come here they come here they come They're running the gun for me From an island made of plastic adrift at sea I fortify my biology Ninety thousand in your army set to attack Breaking in and no turning back The path of no resistance is in your eyes From your trails laid out in the skies Another line of frack still to be unwound Sneak another one down into the ground But here we are home again They're coming for me Here they come here they come here they come They're running the gun for me Captan, Bromide and PVC Now your logic is evading me Hello Maneb Cumene and Propylene Now your chemicals come for me Take another hit off your PVC Another kiss from the PCBs Your mother-lovin hug is toxicity Now your chemicals come for me Here they come here they come Pretty chemicals

Knee deep she lays her head On the pillows of her lonely bed While sleep tugs at the seams And frays the edges of her broken dreams And there’s talk, talk, talk in a thousand places From the voices that time erases Stone cold she locks the door While the shadows creep across the floor Jennifer is that you leaving When did you stop believing Heaven knows your innocent ways Have left you so confused these days Knee deep she bites her fingers While the memory of pain still lingers With hope so far behind Another drink would surely clear the mind But there’s talk, talk, talk in the darkest places From the voices that time erases While doubt shorts out the wires Where here conscious and fears conspire Jennifer who will you trust To clear away the could of dust Life’s just a battle and no one has won Jennifer put down the gun

Afraid to sleep, afraid to breathe One more hardship hard to conceive There’s a shadow moving over me So much for life’s vanities You’re in every corner of the house Drifting in and drifting out Little brother, little sun Caught in wars that can’t be won Don’t want to let you go Can you please stay I need you here Just one more day Powers that be do as they please But I’m making peace with your disease If I could I crush a thousand stones I’d feed cure into to your bones Dream in star light little son Can’t undo what has been done Hold you near me as I pray Until your spirit turns away All night crying I’m haunted by you All night crying What more can I do You’ve got to let me go boy I cannot stay My things are all packed And I’m leaving today

Look up, power down your cel phone Line is busy, the call’s not free Something’s up in the days of plenty Too many people marking absentee At a time when you had more money Smiled and drove along happily But no matter what your mind is thinking I can hear you body singing But if you're happily sedated In the life that you created Those who only disagree Will shut the book and let it be Get out from under your headphones Shuffle up from your MP3s If you want to draw my attention Open up your mouth, stop texting me There were days when skies were sunny But it shifted so violently No matter what you the future’s bringing I can hear your body singing But if you're happily sedated Thinking life is overrated Take a page from history Shut the book and let it be Haven't you heard your religion's withdrawn So buddy get your dogma off of my front lawn Because I'm happily sedated In a life incorporated I may not ever come around But my boots are firmly on the ground We’re all happily sedated Life incorporated Take a page from history Shut the book and let it be

Raise your hands up to heaven I’m reaching out to you Rest your holy heart in the temple of my hands I had waited for you In and out of my life But lost, the moment has gone away now All I wanted was to see in your eyes Someone who cared without compromise This distant need had eternity aching In a place where a heart is breaking I’ve been waiting for you I’ve been waiting for you Raise your eyes up to heaven I’m sanctified by you Wash my weary soul with the grace of your hands I’ve been waiting for you In and out of my life Please don’t take this moment away now All I wanted was to see in your eyes Someone who cared without compromise This distant need has eternity aching In a place where a heart is breaking I’ve been waiting for you I’ve been waiting for you Raise your hands up to heaven I’m reaching out to you Rest your holy heart in the temple of my hands I’ve been waiting for you I’ve been waiting for you How was I breathing without you How was I dreaming without you How was I, now how am I Something’s keeping the terror in me alive How was I breathing without you How was I dreaming without you How was I, now how am I Something’s keeping the memory of you alive

I'm a man of many words Though few have been said I viewed them all perspectively But hid them away in my head I've never been to Athens I've never been to Rome Never been anywhere that ever felt like home I never had a compass to show me the way To the safety of your arms Tethered to the Earth In the shadow of my fears I may have smiled But I never met their eyes in twenty years I've never been to Athens… The wind rises and carries me To the places I'd dreamt I'd be I close my eyes, strengthen ties And see your eyes right in front of me I've never been to Athens… I've never been to Venus I've never been to Mars I've never been some place With so many stars I drift of towards them And find my own way Can you see me, can you see me

You brought my life adventure Enough to fill up this book Left it in the hallway If you want to take a look There was heartache, laughter, beauty and scars But every chapter has it’s end I’m heading back to the stars Back to the stars The stars are pouring down on me The universe surrounding me I really loved to love you all And all the joy that you shared Nice to see you all here today To know so many cared Nothing better than the times such as ours Remember nothing ever really ends I’m just heading back to the stars Back to the stars The stars are pouring down on me The universe surrounding me Everything circles around and then Everything circles around and again May the stars follow you, wherever you are

Time has a secret And quietly keeps it Out of reach from you and I An eventual turn will leave a world to unlearn And leave the vision far behind And when my vision starts to fade I will not question why It’s just the wind and the rain Or the ice in my veins It’s the innocence of time It’s hard to believe Or not to believe When opportunities fail The currents are cast And the tides hold you fast A ship without its sail And when my hair starts to grey I will not question why It’s just the wind and the rain Or the ice in my veins It’s the innocence of time

Woke up this morning to see the sunrise From your little place upon the hill Took in the world as if through your eyes Haven’t forgotten you and I never will In the air your life surrounds me From this mountain where you were king I hear your voice in every melody When the coyotes of the canyon sing They sing shine, shine We rise, we fall To the world you gave it all How the sirens of the valley Will forever miss your call Fell asleep long enough to dream And for just a moment you were there Dancing lightly beside the stream That carries us all away somewhere In the air your life surrounds me From this mountain where you were king I hear your voice in every melody When the coyotes of the canyon sing They sing shine, shine We rise, we fall To the world you gave it all How the sirens of the valley Will forever miss your call
17.
I have rattlesnake blood Alive in my veins I will conquer the world Until nothing remains Fall in line my soldiers I need all of your might One to keep me on my lead And my guard to the right I’m the king of the mountain Monarch of the hill You may will me to fall But I’m standing here still Rush the rattlesnake blood Lightning flash to the brain Bring to me the world All alight with my reign Push on trusty soldiers I need all your might Gather all the things I need Let the bombs ignite I’m the king of the mountain Monarch of the hill When you give me it all I am guiding you still I’m the king Beautiful king Merciful king I’m the king
18.
You lit the fuse then you turned around Running for glory from higher ground With a smile doing as you please To skew the world by a few degrees Holding back their swollen pride But they keep the hate inside It’s a gun in an innocent hand The baby boy playing the man You say, you understand this more than I do Comprehend this more than I do So please explain to me Why they are my enemy You understand this more than I do Comprehend this more than I do So please explain to me Why I am your enemy And when your back is to the wall When you live and give it all The little girl fallen in her yard Her father dealt the hardest card You drop the bombs and start the war Push the boys and ask for more It’s the blood on some distant sand Turns to black beneath the caravan You say, you understand this more than I do Comprehend this more than I do So please explain to me Why I am your enemy
