[ghaw2007]

Accelerate

Verse 1
Use me as your medicine
I'm not like those others quick fixes
Slashing and burning and poisoning will only soften tragedy
Selling dreams is not the way
To enrich the poorest souls
Proving that a healed state is beneficial
Will empower others

Verse 2
If you show signs of confusion
Desperation will occur
Slashing and burning and poisoning will only soften tragedy
Conducting tests and analyzing results
Is an arduous process
Proving that a healed state is beneficial
Will empower others

Verse 3
If you have more guts than blood
Half the battle is already won
You'll be twice defeated
If you attempt to conquer what you don't understand
Proving that a healed state is beneficial
Will empower others

Chorus 1
Accelerate - keep pushing through
Don't let fear get a hold of you
You'll lose if you do
Recondition yourself - Accelerate

Chorus 2
Flow like the strongest river
Accelerate, accelerate
All of which is inside of you
Is the foundation you should build upon

Offspring

Verse 1
Tired boy, he needs a snack
Give him ice cream and pie
Cherry and vanilla will get him energized
Curious boy, he wants to learn
Give him dictionaries and books
He's brimming with potential
Letting it go to waste would be a shame
Lonely boy, he needs a friend
Give him time and space
Let him develop interpersonal skills
And apply them accordingly

Verse 2
Funny boy, he needs an audience
Give him a stage and microphone
Telling jokes will satisfy him
And hopefully entertain others
Creative boy, he wants an outlet
Give him advice and encouragement
He's continually brainstorming and challenging himself
Athletic boy, he needs to play
Give him s bicycle and open field
Strengthening his growing body
Will allow him to achieve good health

Bridge
Asian boy, African boy
Latin boy, European boy
Arabian boy, Native boy
Boy, oh boy, oh boy

Chorus
The past collides with the present
The present determines the future
The future is our offspring
They deserve the best of everything
If we nurture and we inspire
If we teach and love properly
Our offspring will have better chances
At surviving and thriving

Breaking News

Verse 1
They tried to put you on the six o'clock stories
But you protested and others helped you
They scrambled to invent new lies
Others will believe them in time
Others will believe them in time
Whatever is trending
Whatever's gone viral
Will be shown repeatedly to all
The owners and the directors will decide
Every thing that's placed in front of your eyes
Every thing that's placed in front of your eyes

Verse 2
A platter of issues they want you to digest
Open your hearts and minds and wallets
If you're hungry to be told what you want to hear
Then the alphabet soup is comfort food
Then the alphabet soup is comfort food
Old is new and new is old
Being well-informed is as important as gold
Narratives are crafted and sold
Debate rages on about what we're being told
Debate rages on about what we're being told

Bridge 1
Your fancy degrees and your coiffed hair
Will get you closer to being a millionaire
Read the Teleprompter and convince us
That what you say is what you believe
That what you say is what you believe

Bridge 2
Your fancy degrees and your high heeled shoes
Will get you closer to being an icon
Gather the information and convince us
That what you report on is what you believe
That what you report on is what you believe

Chorus
Ripped to shreds
Hot off the presses
Twizzler effect
Breaking news
Live and exclusively mainstream
Musical chairs and glorified cheerleaders
Sheeplelism and talking heads
Breaking news

Jeff

Verse 1
Not a part of the mainstream
I guess you can say he's alternative
Views so different from the average person
Many think he's crazy
He behaves in a way most people
Perceive as being unusual
Just because they don't understand it
Doesn't make it weird

Verse 2
More germ-free than the average person
You'll pass by on a busy street
Washing his hands frequently
And not touching everything in sight
He moves around carefully
Constantly thinking about the meaning of life
And how it impacts him on a daily basis
He's got the ability to dream with his eyes wide open
So unique, so impressive

Bridge
Not easily identifiable
You'll have to wait and learn
Just who he is and how he does things
Mysterious and confusing state of mind
Only if you don't understand yourself
And why you're alive
He's naturally sound

Chorus
Halfway between the gutter and the stars
Between earth and sky, an isolated place
Deepening the level of understanding
You have of yourself
Confidently genuine
Je-ff, Je-ff, Je-ff, Je-ff
Uncommonly singular
Je-ff, Je-ff, Je-ff, Je-ff

Weightlifting

Verse 1
This isn't the land of milk and honey
Almost everyone is struggling just to survive
They'd be lucky if they thrived
Never full and always wanting more
Picking up crumbs off the dirty floor
Being germ-free is a luxury

Verse 2
When your greatest enemy is yourself
You need all the help that you can get
Attaining peace of mind is always challenging
There's an imbalance between mind and heart
Conflicting emotions can rip you apart
What you feel is not how you should be
You can't decide if you should run and hide
It may be better to go along for the ride
Your highest highs could overshadow your lowest lows
Playing games is juvenile, you have to be mature
Addressing complexities can make you more confused
Your soul is something you wish you could control

Chorus 1
It's difficult to come to terms with your reality
Weightlifting is a skill you become familiar with

Chorus 2
You develop numbness through your experiences
Weightlifting is a skill you become familiar with
Energy is fleeting just like happiness
Every ounce of it is as precious as clean water
Sometimes you're so tried, you would rather quit
Than continue to deal with pain and misery
Ending it all is more than a dream
You can persevere if you can concentrate
On creating a relationship with yourself
And by strengthening your soul

Chorus 3
It's difficult to overcome challenges on your own
Weightlifting is a skill you become familiar with

The Kick Inside

Verse 1
Beginning of something
Delicate and slowly growing
New and original
Continuing the cycle
Precious and always forming
Commonplace and popular
Enjoying a moment
Beautiful and always real
With yourself or someone else
Dreaming wide awake
Different and slowly growing
Confident and optimistic

Verse 2
Upside down, right side up
Counter-clockwise, counter-culture
Lemons out of lemonade
Breakdown, build up
Love and hate and indifference
Everything old is new again
Eyes wide shut, open-minded
Uncommon, extraordinary
Always hiding in plain sight
Alone, not lonely
Over, under, swinging around
Pushing past many limits

Verse 3
Half-empty, half-full
Perception versus reality
Complexities of life
Winning when losing
Matters of perspective
Who you are and what you won't do

Chorus
The kick inside
Moments which keep us alive
As the world keeps on turning
As time marches on
As the sun rises and as the sun sets
The kick inside will keep us alive

Thinking Room

Verse 1
What is it that you seek in this world?
How can you recover a broken soul?
What will it take to become whole?
How long will you try?
Where would you go without knowing just where to begin?

Verse 2
Whom can you trust when you don't know who you are?
How can you acquire stability when there's no stillness of mind?
What do you do when the actions of others seep into you?
When will you learn to accept what you can't control?

Verse 3
Why do you contemplate doing away with yourself?
Who will help to loosen the effects of your unpleasant past?
When will you no longer believe in the lies you've been subjected to?
Where will you end up if you're saturated with negativity?

Chorus 1
Stuck in situations that breed hate
Peace of mind if difficult to realize
This is your thinking room

Chorus 2
Stuck in situations that breed hate
This is your thinking room

I Like To Play Games

Verse 1
My big, brown eyes are alluring
My lips are juicy, thick and full
I know that you want every part of me
From my head, to my toes
And inside and out

My ears may be small
But down under I'm above average
I know that you want to measure me
From my chest, to my waist
Then to my thighs

I do what I can to get your worked up
Getting off from it provides me satisfaction
It's amazingly thrilling to know
That I've got you wrapped around my soft fingers

Verse 2
Let me get back to my body
It's so sweet, it's sweeter than brown sugar
It's like nothing you've tasted before
Eat it up for breakfast, lunch and dinner

After previewing a few of my priceless assets
You're ready to have every cell in me
Insured for a million dollars

I'm highly effective in getting you worked up
You believe your desires will be fulfilled
It's delightfully intriguing to know
That I can heat you up anytime, anywhere

Verse 3
I'm not looking to get serious
LTR drama is so unappealing
I like to liven things up
With some herbs, some spice
I can be naughty or nice

I crave your undivided attention
And the way you listen intently
Living it up is my occupation
I promise to use you any way I choose

You are oblivious to my intentions
And that's how I want it to be
It's refreshingly reassuring to know
That I can work you like magic

Chorus 1
I like to play games
I'm guaranteed to be the winner
I memorized all the secret codes
I rarely follow any of the rules
I have captured your five senses
Without you realizing that they were gone
I smirk and I grin
After leaving you hanging like a thread

Chorus 2
I like to play games
I'm guaranteed to be the winner
I memorized all the secret codes
I rarely follow any of the rules
I have captured your five senses
Without you realizing they were gone
I smirk and I grin
After leaving you hanging like a thread
I am such a pro where games are concerned
Playing to win is what I do
I memorized all the secret clues
I rarely follow any of the rules
I have seized every inch of you
Without you knowing what I'm going to do
I smile and I laugh
After leaving you wailing in the breath of me

Constant Hunger

Verse 1
All these little rejections build up in your soul
Being turned away crushes your self-esteem
All these little let-downs surround you ever so slowly
To the point where they're about to consume you
Disappointment is such a drag

All these little distortions ingratiate themselves into your mind
Your belief system is based on lies and propaganda
All these little unpleasantries make for ruined situations
It's challenging to generate momentum and to keep it progressing

Verse 2
All these little recollections buried deep within your psyche
Flashes of the past burst through like a manufactured hurricane
All these little anomalies becoming a nuisance
Plans are adjusted and cancellations are put into effect

Verse 3
All these little machinations developing sight unseen
Theories abound when they're finally revealed
All these little medications destroying what's left of your health
Natural functions are being replaced through artificial means

Bridge
Trinkets no longer appease you
Gadgets don't appeal to you
Substance is intoxicatingly desirable

Chorus
You're wanting more out of life
But are left unsatisfied
You give more than you receive and feel under-appreciated
Attempting to explain yourself causes misunderstanding
This is how constant hunger dwells in you

The Man That Got Away

Verse 1
You call yourself a man but you're logically challenged
You get emotional by flying off the handle
Words are unmeasured and actions aren't deliberate
This is who you are organically
You can't change but you can modify
You call yourself a man but you cause ears to burn
Verbal interactions mostly add fuel to the fire
Words are unmeasured and actions aren't deliberate
You're naturally inclined to act this way
Your DNA has changed

Verse 2
You call yourself a man but you're fantastically out of mind
Understatedness is something you're unfamiliar with
Words are unmeasured and actions aren't deliberate
This is how you behave but you don't have to act this way
You call yourself a man but you're internally oblivious
Society knows more about you than you know of yourself
Words are unmeasured and actions aren't deliberate
This is why you'll be conditioned without formidable opposition

Verse 3
I am a man because I have fortitude
Fearlessness is what I've incorporated
Words are measured and actions are deliberate
This is how I've been since becoming reborn

Bridge
Learning is nothing more than a change in behaviour
Being in accordance with high standards builds character
A dignified way of life is the best defence against strife
The pursuit of excellence will propel you to greater heights

Chorus 1
I once was tread upon
I was taken advantage of
I restored myself by reclaiming my power

Chorus 2
I once was abused
I was mistreated and disrespected
I transformed myself by being the man that got away

A Woman

Verse 1
I am a woman as a woman I've been told
Dieting is marketed to me in this mold
Born with a clock, I yearn for the seed
Years I have waited with remarkable need

Verse 2
I am a woman who has grown from a daughter
Been criticized by a jealous mother
Big breasts and tight buttocks got me into trouble
Boys and men alike ignored her and focused on me instead

Verse 3
I am a woman who is not a victim
Begging for scraps is something I'll never do
I am a woman who is a c-u-n-t - there, I said it
I don't get hysterical when I'm referred to as such

Bridge
I don't fare well with scorn and bitterness
I don't do well with a life of unwanted sacrifice
This won't work well if you're in constant judgement of me
I am a woman who is weaker than feminist chants

Chorus 1
I have been adored
I have been protected
I'm using my status for monetary gain

Chorus 2
I have been shamed
I have repented
I'm working my way toward the belief of forgiveness
I have been blamed
I have relented
I'm working my way toward the belief of forgiveness

Chorus 3
I have been glorified
I have been worshipped
I'm working my way toward my original template
I have been raped
I have been attacked
I'm working my way toward endless retribution

Faggots

Verse 1
I am a faggot as a faggot I've been told
Salacious details of lovers have yet to be sold
Lipstick and high heeled shows are my alter ego
If you don't like what you see, you can turn away

Verse 2
I am a faggot only when it suits me well
I conceal my true nature handily as far as I can tell
Tailored made suits and ties are my alter ego
If you don't know what I am
You can't easily turn away

Verse 3
I am a faggot and declaring so is bold
Things that I want won't be placed on hold
I live and I try to learn just like all of you
And I refuse to accept anything less than I deserve

Bridge
Butch or fem, passive or dominant
I can be whomever you want me to be
I'm viewed as the odour-causing trash
Most people would like to throw out
I'm not an activist and I don't aspire to be one
I'm a man who has always enjoyed the company of men

Chorus 1
I am a dance-floor hound
I am a whiteliner
As I travel the world, I lose myself in it

Chorus 2
I've seen brutality
I've seen the look of disgust
As I travel the world, I become increasingly fearful
I've heard tales of ridicule
I've heard longing for acceptance
As I travel the world, I'm partially grateful

Chorus 3
I have been shamed
I have relented
As I travel the world, I discover who I am
I have been broken
I have been aimless
As I become older, I liberate myself

Take Me To The Disco

Verse 1
Loosen up naturally / Like me that way
Glad about it / Sweet and simple
Everyone deserves music / Music for your neighbourhood
Something old, something new
Lights and shadows / Nude dimensions
Moving cities / East to west and back again
Friends and lovers / Love and dancing
So good together / Dreams of passion

Verse 2
Shockwave of kisses / Wrapped in rainbows
How sweet the sound / Simply delicious
Bodies that matter / Shake it all about
Foggy highway / The moon and Antarctica

Bridge
Only the good parts
Moment to moment
On wings of a dove
Beyond a dream
It's getting better
Across a crowded room
Finally alone with you

Chorus
Take me to the disco
The night is calling for me
I'm tired of being stuck in the suburbs
All things bright and beautiful appeal to me
I want to travel the world
Through dance and sensation
Take me to the disco

Orange Juice

Verse 1
Orange juice sustains me without fail
Wholesome in a variety of ways
I was unfamiliar with the taste of it
So I was hesitant to give it a try
Once I saw how others responded to it
I sensed that I was missing out on something fulfilling
One day I searched for a glass
And was surprised by the reaction I experienced
For the better, I was changing

Verse 2
Existing is going through the motions of life
When you're under and alone, you don't give it much though
Being alive is seeking events to partake and revel in
When you do so, your true self is revealed
Every part of you flourishes
A stream of satisfaction will float through you
You'll be rich beyond measure
It will seem like a dream
But, oh yes, it's real

Verse 3
I'm grateful to be healed by its grace
And now I'm convinced that everyone deserves orange juice
However small or big the amount may be
Every drop is precious
None of it should ever go to waste
I'll teach another what I've been taught
Creating special experiences is inspiring and everlasting

Chorus
Contently full
Great and rewarding supply
Pure and simple, orange juice is good for me

The Richest Man In Babylon

Verse 1
Selling tales of sin
Profits are generating in your sleep
Wicked thoughts are woven into timeless chants
Generations continue to dance
Messages of the past being told in soft tones
If you listen carefully
Ideas are being formed and settled in places
Which are shielded from view

Verse 2
Luxurious platforms are sold to the highest bidder
Beggars become more desperate
Influence is the name of the game
Many have lost and many are losing
Replications of what used to be
Pale in comparison to the originals
Echoes of the past
Linger around the heartbeats of men

Verse 3
Being the richest man in Babylon
Affords you many privileges
Tokens are for the powerless
You create the standard to which we abide
To the victor goes the spoils
You're coated in manufactured glory
The crown you've placed upon your head
Will eventually be your undoing
All that you own is worthless

Chorus
You're only a soul in a vessel
Known by only one
As you accumulate wealth
You forget about the importance of your deeds

Close The Door

Verse 1
I don't believe in dinosaurs, dragons, or aliens
Fairy tales are glorified lies
Even though there are spooks everywhere
Danger lurks around
If you trade your freedom for safety
Then you're foolish
You've given away your power to decide
Rendered, tragically, subservient onto others
You'd be a typical beggar among attainable riches
A cautionary tale for the impressionable

Verse 2
The fakery of my foundation permeates through my senses
Like a virus absorbed into the body
I'm hungry for the reasons why I breathe, build and destroy
So I check the ground to walk over scattered shackles
I, fortunately, understand the power to decide
Rendered aware of my ability for self-determination
A sleepwalker, what I used to be
Until I awoke from my slumber and defeated pseudo-realities

Verse 3
You as one, you as deceptively whole
Observing me, judging me
I as one, I as partially broken
Incomplete but with a soul
However damaged it may seem
What I use is, ultimately, what I own
Especially the power I have to decide
Rendered, rightfully, accountable for my thoughts and words
This is a true representation of who I am as an individual
It is not, however, an endorsement to abandon
Your state of unrealized wealth

Chorus 1
Although a slave from conception, it is not my birthright
Although governed by the laws of water, my true identity holds
I am abused and tested upon
But my original record is unamendable
I close the door to the world
And settle within and around myself

Chorus 2
Close the door
Don't let whispers and looks of harmful intent
To settle within yourself

Another Day of Life

Verse 1
The universe is laughing at me every day
Sometimes I wake up
And I literally don't know what to say
Generational players were careless on a bed
And as a result, I'm fucked up in the head
You took away so much from me
As if you were a vampire
Sinking your nasty teeth into me
All that you are is disgusting
All that you are is frightening

Verse 2
I used to be able to closes my eyes and dream
About the possibilities of the future
Belief in myself was the driving force
Which kept hope alive
I've lost the ability to dream in colour
When daybreak arrives, darkness remains
And this darkness overshadows what's left of me
I try to infuse my senses with goodness
But slowly, I think, I'm rotting to the core
All that you are is disgusting
All that you are is frightening

Verse 3
Part of me is covered in scar tissue
The other part is exposed to the pain of knowing you
I can't begin to heal properly
Until you discontinue terrorizing me
I don't know if your mission to eradicate me
Will be successful (I hope not)
I don't know much of anything, anymore
I'm increasingly confused
How I function is a direct reaction to my surroundings
I want to be shielded from
What makes you disgusting and frightening

Chorus
On a daily basis I have to decide
Whether or not I'm going to nut the fuck up
On a daily basis I have to stomp the bitch within me
On a daily basis I have to say "I will not kill myself"
On a daily basis I have to remind myself to stop hating
This may be unusual for you
But for me it's just another day of life

Outro
I think about continuing
Perhaps I should stop right here

I Love The Illusion

Verse 1
I believe everything you say
I trust in all that you do
Heavy thoughts weigh me down
Easy living is comfortable
The 'Who', 'What', 'Where', 'When', 'Why', 'How' is bothersome

Verse 2
All doubts have been cast aside
There is no reason for me to run and hide
Complexities are tiring
A simple life is comforting
The 'Who', 'What', 'Where', 'When', 'Why', 'How' is bothersome

Verse 3
Distortions will be excused
Transgressions will be explained away
Thinking is challenging
Passiveness is effortless
The 'Who', 'What', 'Where', 'When', 'Why', 'How' is bothersome

Verse 4
I am all that I will ever be
And I know you like what you see
A tough life I have experienced
Quick fixes appeal to me
The 'Who', 'What', 'Where', 'When', 'Why', 'How' is bothersome

Chorus
I love the illusion
The magnificent illusion
Give me the illusion
Let me be in peace

Wind, Sand And Stars

Verse 1
Travelling down this ragged a-s-s road
Hoping to transform from ashes to diamonds
Perhaps it's just a fool's party
But if there's a ghost of a chance
Then I'll prevail
I'm pouring my heart into it
I've got nothing left to lose
Turning fantasies into realities
Is usually more difficult than it seems

Verse 2
Something new doesn't occur every day
The past has a tendency to repeat itself
If I hate my life, I'll hate myself
So I must work harder at combating negativity
I may be on the verge of a breakthrough
But I don't know if I'm dreaming or being a fool
Fact or fiction - opposite ends of a spectrum
Somewhere in the middle is where I am

Verse 3
I search for meaning, I search for purpose
As a free agent, I'm afforded this much
Identity parades are on display
I'm still figuring out the complexities of me
Washing my brain on a regular basis
Is conducive for mental clarity
Although I've been down for so long
I believe that I'll rise, I'll rise

Chorus
The wind at my back to push me forward
The sand on my feet to guide me along
The stars in my eyes to inspire me and instill confidence
That's all I need
