Resurrection
By Trevor E.Y.
Tears hold back the years,
Turns into time, so I will never be lonely
Days cover your ears roll back your eyes
Then you can see with the light of
The sky
Yeah the sky
And delight
Months turn into nights, still im awake
and I can never sleep sideways
Eons of your face brings out my breaks
Then falling in and then out of
Desire
And desire
And design
Chorus:
You outta come back to life today
Well they buried my soul whe you went away
Now your covered in rubies and gold I bet (there is no judgement above who cares)
So you outta come back to life in a different way
Months turn into nights, still im awake
and I can never sleep sideways
Eons of your face brings out my breaks
Then falling in and then out of
Desire
And desire
And design
(instrumental solo)
(chorus)
Tears hold back the years,
Turns into time, so I will never be lonely
Days cover your ears roll back your eyes
Then you can see with the light of
The sky
Yeah the sky
And delight
Tears hold back the years,
Turns into time….time…….time……

Deluge
by Trevor e.y.
baby like to think that cause she doesnt know
the world will get up an' and forgive her
but she likes to go to all the kinda shows
where she can show off her litter
she is self destructive touch of innocence
would shatter all princes and warriors
I act like i notice fake it like i care
in the darkness we shout out of order
down the river
baby likes to dazzle all the ones she knows
by being a search and destroyer
preys on men who are adjusted at the core
but want to be shaken and reborn
but then...
baby did a bad bad thing
done zigged when she shoulda zagged
forgot to take out the trash
she went lookin for that aud lang zine
then he bought that ring
done went and pawned it for cash
then she broke up my stash
If I find her she'll be- long gone down the river
nile river
amazon river
mississip river
down the river, river of missouri
baby did a bad bad thing
done zigged when she shoulda zagged
forgot to take out the trash
she went lookin for that aud lang zine
then he bought that ring
done went and pawned it for cash
then she broke up my stash
never find her she'll be- long gone down the river
on the river
riding river
overwhelmed by the deluge
she's makes me hydroplane

I Don’t Fit in
By Trevor e.y.
Verse
I don’t fit in your seats
Your seats are too small for me
the length is too short to lean
It just was not built for me
Without care we are lost
Our connections are not touching
The smoke makes it hard to breathe
Our friends are now enemies
chorus
I am the one, live on the sun
Scorching all who don’t care, teaching all who don’t want
With magic wand, nothing undun
We will build a new world it will be the best one
Verse
I don’t fit in your world
Your world is too flat for me
The lines are all there to see
There’s no depth to like anything
Topo-grahic I need
Elevation is known to me
Can scale like a learned trapeze
Can jump over anything
bridge
You think for each other, I see that you love him
I blame nothing else besides laziness
You beg for another, you push all us over
No way to get out of this big mess
chorus
I am the one, live on the sun
Scorching all who don’t care, teaching all who don’t want
With magic wand, nothing undun
We will build a new world it will be the best
Verse
I don’t fit in your life
Your life is too lived for me
The path is narrow I need
A way to be truly free

Carrion
by: Trevor e.y.
one flashlight
one radio
one tv
one computer
these are all segways into nothin
one cliff edge
crater where i fall
one cell phone
lost my signal
these are all segways into nothin
these are all segways into nothin
and we are carrion the weight of the world
and we are carrion for maggots and flies
youve got me carryin the burden of this girl
youve got my hope up just to crush me in time
(bridge)
one flashlight....thats all it takes
to make it real somehow
Tarkovsky's vision of a
stalker zone
the candid data to
catalog our time
we werent hurt by techno
organic life
saving our money for the
jewel of the nile....and then exploit it for
one flashlight
one radio
one tv
one computer
these are all segways into nothin
one cliff edge
crater where i fall
one cell phone
lost my signal
these are all segways into nothin
these are all segways into nothin
and we are carrion the weight of the world
and we are carrion for maggotts and flies
youve got me carryin the burden of this girl
youve got my hope up just to crush me in time
one flashlight
one radio
one tv
one computer
one flashlight...(fades away in glitchy way)

Failing Metaphor
By: Trevor e.y.
Thinking about the way we are
Living well but not at all
I am not the one you love
No longer in the “cherished zone’
Christina, I don’t want babies
I shudder to think about that
The whole in the life you gave me
Our love is the pain you left
(chorus)x2
Failing metaphor, Guilty like the truth
Crazy yes we share, burden of the proof
Sing me songs of valiance
Let me show you gallant
Fill my life with balance
Bring me back to….Valhalla
Now we cross the finished line
Signing on the dotted part
Present in the moment that
incessant remains our past
My daring, im through with shaming
I can’t even walk at all
The meaning of life betrays me
a conscience is man’s compass
(Chorus)
Failing metaphor, Guilty like the truth
Crazy yes we share, burden of the proof
Sing me songs of valiance
Let me show you gallant
Fill my life with balance
Bring me back to….Valhalla
(big instrumental break)
Restart is not working out
Takes a couple tries to leave
Sitting in my empty house
I can hear the water breathe
Christina, I want that family
How can I just take it back
The void in our lives lets fill it
Repaired by the love……we lacked
(chorus)
Failing metaphor, Guilty like the truth
Crazy yes we share, burden of the proof
Sing me songs of valiance
Let me show you gallant
Fill my life with balance
Bring me back to….Valhalla

Reject my Fallacies
By Trevor e.y.
(Verse 1)
Hey wanderbar, I been digging up a grave for us
Its (huh huh) breathing hard, gotta save gotta spend for art
I relocate, I will do what I have to babe
Hey love, ive been looking for a home
(Chorus)
I reject my fallacies, prepare my maladies
Til I cant feel a thing, til I cant feel a thing
I Predict all the tragedies, Concoct a catastrophe
Cause I don’t give a shit
Hey morning star, conjure up another prayer for us
Falling morphing a quasar, Gotta shave gotta shameful art
A runaway, given out a chart today
bay landing dove, always searching for a home
(chorus)
Bridge:
We can only work with what we got in the city, for us!
Tell me how to makes the world united for us, for us!
Can we earn what we make
Do we look like slaves
I been bought and paid
For my small time on this earth
(chorus)

Me and Most Men
by: Trevor e.y.
all hypnotized, all aliens
here to stop the show
martsch told me that one, i admit
to good to let go (that's what its for)
all bends and bruises, on the land
who would want it
max dreams fed out to, nothin left
dream factory on empty (so i don't know)
but that's what its forrrrrrrrr thats what its for
and if you selllllll it get nothin more
(music change)
(chord jingle)
been it pawn it now its free
don't care bout clothes or money
there's no sale point, that's the difference tween me
me and most men
(chord jingle)
there is no dead century
no matter what you think in your dreams
optimistic on something, rather than nothing,
me and most men
(chord jingle)
but that's what its forrrrrrrrr thats what its for
and if you selllllll it get nothin more
killed but for what not enemies
killed but for what
don't tell me oil, runs your dreams
little squeaky there (that's what its for)
don't show no anger, pussycat
let me unleash
the products open, sell the store
here comes the breach (here comes the "crash")

Matterhorn
By Trevor e.y.
Let me in the pool-house I want to die
Tonight to die….my time
Let me in the pool-house I want to die
Tonight to die….my time
Let me in the pool-house I want to die
Tonight to die….my time
Let me in the pool-house…….
When sleeping alone, your outside the world
When sleeping alone, I’m not anywhere
I’ll wait by the phone, broken nothing left
When sleeping alone, when sleeping alone,
Will I sleep? Alone and going nowhere
In Swiss and alone, I’m outside the world
In Swiss and alone, I’m not anywhere
I’ll wait by the phone, broken nothing left
In Swiss and alone, In Swiss and alone
Now I see, alone and going no where
When I get bored stare at the Matterhorn,
Stare about the Matterhorn
Let me in the pool-house I want to die
Tonight to die….my time
Let me in the pool-house I want to die
Tonight to die….my time
Let me in the pool-house I want to die
Tonight to die….my time
Let me in the pool-house I want to die
Tonight to die….my time
Let me in the pool-house I want to die
Tonight to die….my time
Let me in the pool-house I want to die
Tonight to die….my time
Alone and going nowhere
Alone, but not broken yet
Alone, red and indigo,
Alone and going nowhere
Alone, I’m not anything
Alone and going nowhere

Loser for crying
By Trevor e.y.
Loser for crying, I turn your thoughts around
Show that your dying, I turn your thoughts around
chorus
I know your fantasy
I carried your dead end weight
I hold your life in my hands, but it comes form above
Ripped out like a solvent
Loser for crying, I turn your thoughts around
Show that your dying, I turn your thoughts around
Newspaper lines read, your death is not allowed
So sorry your undead
I just cant let it go!
(chorus)
Bridge
So am I a loser for cryin, dedodaaaa x4
But wheres that lost melody, that burns ya babe
Are your risen by the sea of I don’t know maybe
Can you rearrange matter like the silver surfer
Where’s that lost melody, that i….know your will come
That I know you will come………
That I know you will go……..
and I know you must die
But I don’t know why
(overlap part
Just know…When my time is right
Yes, I will come there
And we will reunite

Point Blank
by: Trevor e.y.
yeah life, it's a road that i have
traveled too long
take a hint, take a hitchhike on the
one with the song
take a look, at the web that you have
spun, don't know why
step aside, here it comes
and it's real, and i know
Chours
you and me (with "i'm put out of battle" echoing)
we, we were meant to be
take a little walk down a thing called
memory lane (motion, motion)
and you'll see, that you know in my heart
it's sometimes the same
the thing with many people is
they cannot have fun
but look, just lay back and you'll see
it's all in the way we don't want
attention, and you'll find
life is good, when there is
just nothing, to do
(chorus)
and it all comes down to
respect for what i need
is to feel, without the feeling
of needing to be
purple haze, was little jimi's
first little song
that he wrote, yeah he wrote it on a
west saturdays lawn, i'm just
playing, i don't know nothin' bout
that man and his ways
but the way, he wrote songs
with the passion, never wrong,
feel the fire of the greatest..song..
if you see me, see me walkin'
like in point blank, i'm lee marvin
words are just words, put outta battle
(chours)x7
hey, whata you say we put it on top?
where did we go wrong now babe
hey, whata you say we put it on top?
where did we go wrong now babe
hey, whata you say we put it on top?
where did we go wrong now babe
hey, whata you say we put it on top......
