A Bend Through Space and Time Lyrics

ON AND ON (in your mind)

wake up your mind
untie those knots
looking inside is much harder
than you thought

just plug your matrix in the stream
where every junkie is a king
just still the waters
peel the rind
silence the chatter
in your mind

where every impulse gets a vote
where every song is just some notes
where all your memories coincide
a sea of forever in your mind

and on and on (in your mind) x4

you prayed and you’ve implored
a dream you’ve had before
chaos lurks behind
the tragedy your mind

outside reflects what’s held within
and what you think is what you win
unconscious conscious colorblind
you set the course deep
in your mind

and on and on (in your mind) x4

useless human words
for endless universe
grateful all the time
the magic is your mind

DON’T GIVE AWAY THE WORLD

they come to play
or tear my dreams away
and i’m right there a puppet on a string

try to take control
of every thought and goal
turn me into a machine

and if you should choose
to break from being used
cut out those sycophantic friends

these concrete shoes
love to sing the blues
but here’s where all the bullshit ends

(no) don’t giveaway, don’t giveaway the world (x4)
yeah

KOBOLD IN THE BREADBASKET

the farmer he did fall
he pinned it to the wall
and caught it by the leg

little did he know
that the creature was foretold
entwined with all our fates

naive and nature blind
no thoughts
no wonder
the folly of human kind
no thoughts
no wonder
beholden to the earth, oh lord
forever
repeating till they learn…

and though the farmer healed
his crops they did not yield
years later ever or again

as the creature’s health grew worse
he would sing this little curse
gooseflesh still rising on my skin

naive and nature blind
no thoughts
no wonder
the folly of human kind
no thoughts
no wonder
beholden to the earth, oh lord
forever
repeating till they learn…

needless crawling
scratching, clawing
sprawling, stalling
sliding, falling

naive and nature blind
no thoughts
no wonder
the folly of human kind
no thoughts
no wonder
beholden to the earth, oh lord
forever
repeating till they learn…

needless crawling
scratching, clawing
sprawling, stalling
sliding, falling

LAUGHINGSTOCK

laughs are cheap when you’re mean and slow
you take for granted cause you just don’t know, yeah
i’ll take your venom, take your snark and your snide
nothing you can say will make it through this hide
i’ll be your

laughingstock
i’ll be yours
i’ll be your… x2
laughingstock

backwater fools in their highbrow guise
the feigned smiles with the scorn in their eyes
you wanna ridicule? riddle me this
how is mocking them helping follow your bliss?
i’ll be your

laughingstock
i’ll be your… x3
laughingstock

hyenas run to the kill for a bite
just pick a number and get in line
the more the fight, the sweeter the meat
you keep on chewing but you never eat

laughingstock
i’ll be your… x3
laughingstock

THE MEANING OF LIFE

you walk and move
you are born in time and space
and still you laugh

not taught to breathe, yeah
unaware of your own breath

no more breaking down, i said
just give me truth, yeah
or just give me death

you are born again, it’s in your dreams
your cells, your genes
as the ages came and went
the ego swayed and bent
no more posturing
no more suffering, no more suffering

as clear as the open air
like the flame at the deepest layer
a silent sacred vow

you are born again, it’s in your dreams
your cells, your genes
as the ages came and went
the ego swayed and bent
no more posturing
no more suffering, no more suffering

cast your doubt to the side
every belief and alibi
every rock, every jewel
in every molecule
hear the atoms sing
from the very core of being

RECOMMENDED DAILY DOSAGE

say what you want, say it louder
scream it till your throat is red
now there’s a pill for every ill
and some just for your head

no one is immune
from their subconscious needs
they leak and peek from deep beneath
and end up guaranteed

take one for paranoid delusions from the past
two each time a study contradicts the last
three if it’s not covered even though you’re insured
down them all if you want cured

based on your readings i prescribe eating crow
you are conditions that you sow!
where’s your healing now?

how can you sell health as a business?
miracles monetized
wallets thick to fix the sick
it’s you they’ve hypnotized

but i don’t have the answers
wouldn’t it be cheaper to die?
you bear the cross you pay the cost
you live but lose your life

take one for paranoid delusions from the past
two each time a study contradicts the last
three if it’s not covered even though you’re insured
down them all if you want cured

where’s your healing now? x6

KNUCKLEDRAGGER

say that you are mine
as we bend through space and time
gathering gold

like parting the waters of truth
afraid that you’ll fall through
cracks in the wall

looks like your bones are shakin
glimmering stones

in the search for the fountain of youth
listening for whispers of proof
you forgo
your immortal soul

KERFUFFLE

you better calm on down before you start a commotion
you gotta learn to lasso your devotion
stable
enabled

never listen to what they said
don’t be surprised to find the whole thing’s in your head
waiting for the storm to finally quit
you’re crying, eyeing the deeper sense of it

just a little survival to mark your arrival
a little ‘pocalypse for the coming revival
weighted
jaded

never listen to what they said
don’t be surprised to find the whole thing’s in your head
waiting for the storm to finally quit
you’re crying, eyeing the deeper sense of it

wait until the pain and fear subside
waiting for those golden bona fides

never listen to what they said
don’t be surprised to find the whole thing’s in your head
waiting for the storm to finally quit
you’re crying, eyeing the deeper sense of it

YOUR INNER LEMMY

batter up or batten down
life throws shit, you wear a frown
when you’ve had enough, then you’ll see
the writing on the wall, it’s destiny!

fuck your gods!
fuck devils too!
fuck the church!
and then fuck you!
i did it all
whatever i did
i can’t remember
but i’ll never forget.. yeah!
yeah yeah yeah!

life is full of spite and ire
a sense of humor is required
don’t hold on, just let it be
smile, you’re gonna die… eventually

fuck your gods!
fuck devils too!
fuck the church!
and then fuck you!
i did it all
whatever i did
i can’t remember
but i’ll never forget..

say yeah
you’re breakin’ my heart

there are two types of people you should know
those who root for you and those who don’t
someday you’ll learn to recognize
the assholes from the genuine

you can travel near or far
but if you think you’re old, you are
wherever you rage, there you rant
enjoy yourself before you can’t

fuck your gods!
fuck devils too!
fuck the church!
and then fuck you!
i did it all
whatever i did
i can’t remember
but i’ll never forget.. yeah!

THE DEMONS COME HOME TO ROOST

never believed you would feed a vice
you never thought you would pay the price
you never planned to go above and beyond
now you’re right back where you belong

wait
wait

a swirling mass of doom

nothing hiding behind the mask
there’s no shame left in your past
the heavy lifting has all been done
just accept what you’ve become

you’ve returned at the last
come lie down inside my grasp
when your faith all turns to doubt
i’ll be there waiting to lead you down
