LYRICS
IMPULSES ©
I felt the surge as you passed on by. Electrified when you locked my eye
B’voltage flowed just an hour before. With a girl I couldn’t ignore.
Don’t repent it was just a flinch. An uncontrolled spasmodic twitch
I got it all now under control. But the memory stays…stays….too long…
I’ve always longed for instant rewards. Sensations just so hard to ignore
But what you act on must reveal. What your soul holds dear or must repeal
I miss you every single day
But there’s a trust I can’t betray
And so I’ll sing this song again and hope it all begins to fade
I felt the surge as you passed on by. Electrified when you locked my eye
B’voltage flowed just an hour before. With a girl I couldn’t ignore
Were it mine to do again
To play a game no one can win
Pray to God He’d let me
Walk away from the shattered masquerade
TEST OF TIME ©
She was a brilliant star
and for a moment she ruled the sky
I was like the sea,
her light and love reflect in me
Capture a piece if time
her fleeting soul won't always shine
Still find my restless peace
in knowing that the light was mine
What's your hangup with the permanent
My emotions can be measured in a line
I'm not buying all this evidence
If its love it will stand the test of time
If its love it will stand the test of time.
If its love it will stand the test of time.
She was a brilliant star
and for a moment she ruled the sky
I was like the sea,
her light and love reflect in me
MONSTERS ON MAPLE STREET ©
terrorize your neighbor till he's wrong
spoon feed paranoia into the mouths of our own
once we drank scotch - over a game - of bridge
now we point fingers in fear and disgrace
the monsters - are due on - maple street
the monsters - are due on - maple street
“a witch hunt for the wizards” the men on the hill say
i can't recall what this place was like yesterday
what they leave behind we’ll call a draft
a protocol for mutiny and our enslavement
the monsters - are due on - maple street
the monsters - are due on - maple street
the enemy turned inward becomes me
the monsters - are due on - maple street
(CAN'T SEE) YOUR FACE ©
It’s taken all my life to reach today
And keep my past enchained in a twisted, endless maze
But flash of memory smell and I get off script
The thoughts come rushing in and I stand alone and stripped
(Still within your grip, completely unequipped)
Returning to that time is more than I can take
The love I held for you soon blisters into hate
Every detail stark and nothing is erased
Remember everything but I just can’t see your face
(A void and empty space, what was is now replaced)
Stagger backwards now my mind begins to reel
And every detail I no longer can conceal
Your voice your touch your taste your shape I that black dress
Brings me to my knees and leads me to confess
No longer can repress, utterly obsessed
