Amethyst 01:36
I am not an easy man to live with I am not an easy man to love I am not the kind of man to change his ways or change his mind Just because you don’t agree doesn’t have to mean I’m wrong Your thoughts are yours, my thoughts are mine But we can share, that’s why they’re there You don’t have to like my thoughts I keep them locked up in the box that is my mind I hold the key, there is no copy I do the things my life has taught me Make the choices fate’s presented Logic dictates all my actions Like Pavlov’s dogs, I hear a bell My mind tells me what to expect The actions of the ones I’ve loved Have taught me to learn to reject Reject love, reject affection Reject before I face rejection I am my own double edged sword I am not an easy man to live with I am not an easy man to love And I am sorry for that but believe in what I have to say That I do hate that I’m this way I hate the hate I hate to feel I hate that all this hate is real I hate believing that there’s only wicked demons all around me Sneering, jeering, instilling fear in me like an injection to the veins And injection of ice Chilling my heart but burning my soul An actor, lost in his own role I am not an easy man to live with And I am not an easy man to love But that doesn’t mean don’t try Like amethyst, I’m rough and rigid Not much to look at, cold and faded But crack me open, take a look inside …you just might be surprised.

Static 01:05
Never new how badly we all needed you thrown in the mix You changed the world, you changed my world You made the fabric of the industry unfurl Threw it in the loom You took a worn and tattered blanket Made an tapestry of music Didn't make sounds, fucking created sound Did things with a tune and notes the likes of which we’d never seen Music that defied all forms of chemical logic Words that cut me like a knife, so I bled for days on end Like a lunatic you conquered A musical shock treatment, static for the mind Dead before your time Your anniversary of life, just within your grasp Now we celebrate your life, knowing that it’s come to pass This is my recompense, this is my damnation Remembering, not thinking, my Ostegolation You will always be a master Never living in the past or in the present But eternal Time has no meaning for your name Your name is permanent Your name is fixed Your name is Static

Princess 01:24
You are more than just a princess in my eyes You are the queen bee The Goddess of the red roses Something greater than a single word or phrase Warmth and compassion are all I’ve ever known from you The support of a thousand columns A foundation greater than stone Leadership and guidance and counsel for the ages Wisdom beyond compare My confidant, my conscience, my single greatest fan Not one to be crossed Able to stare down the greatest king Mighty in a way that could never be explained Gentle in a way that makes me oh so proud to say That there is nobody else that I could ever hope to be Than the very soul you hoped I’d be You give me strength, you give me drive You are the reason I am alive Without you, there is no me Without you, I could not see a way for me to always be the very best version of me You’ve made me who I am I hope I’ve made you proud You are the princes, the queen, the goddess You are my mother The likes of which not even Zeus could ever dream You are my mother And I am so very, very proud to be your son

Versatile 01:02
No person in this world is only one person No person in this world has only one trait No person in this world wears only one face Every person in this world is a web, not a road Not a fake, not a mask, not a singular entity We are all kaleidoscopes of things we can’t define Taste in music, taste in thinking Worlds apart from each other, from ourselves Our sense of self elaborate and skewed, not a line but a vine Crawling, growing, spreading, living I am not anchored, I am not bound Not a stencil, nor a cutout Not a single edge of me that is not frayed Splitting hairs, splitting ends, splitting myself Each new strand its own unique persona A new laugh, a new smile, a new frown, a new way of making life worth while I am the embodiment of being fucking versatile

To The Stage 00:56
The image of a crying clown Smile painted on my frown My laughter hides my pain inside The agony that all this life Has made it perfectly explicit Will forever be a presence But it does not lead the way This is my night, this is my day I take my pain, I take my fear I take my sadness and my doubt I take it to the stage Crowds of people, laughing crying No idea I’m slowly dying Eating away at my mind Ripping at my heart inside Screaming like a banshee, haunting Sneered at by my own reflection Darkness silences the mirror No more giving into jeers I take my pain, I take my fear I take my sadness and my doubt I take it to the stage Self-loathing, self-hating Take it to the stage Fear about my future I take it to the stage How the world is crashing down Bodies scattered all around Crying, dying, tempers rising Everything that makes me sigh and Everything that gets to me Pisses me off constantly Anything that comes to mind I take it to the stage
