What are you listening to?


Love this comment someone wrote on the video:

It's amazing what people can do with their lives when they are not distracted by every little shiny electronic thing or tangled up in other people's lives but instead drawing on the powers of the universe that God gave us along with free will to do with our lives as we would to add to the beauty that is life.. Music especially has the ability to inspire one to create beauty in a world filled with it. Music left eases the pain of the ugliness of the world too. These fellows have a gift that they somehow,sometimes make a song even better than the original like Steven Drozd and Maynard James Keenan did with Elton Johns "Rocket Man". Peace....

Sorry it's a bit heavy.

"Wheels Of Confusion / The Straightener"


Long ago I wandered through my mind
In the land of fairy tales and stories
Lost in happiness I knew no fears
Innocence and love was all I knew
It was an illusion

Soon the days were passing into years
Happiness just didn't come so easy
Life was more than fairy tales and daydreams
Innocence was just another word
It was an illusion

Lost in the wheels of confusion
Running through valleys of tears
Eyes full of angry delusion
Hiding in everyday fears

So I found that life is just a game
But you know there's never been a winner
Try your hardest, you'll still be a loser
The world will still be turning when you're gone
Yeah when you're gone!

"A National Acrobat"


I am the world that hides
The universal secret of all time
Destruction of the empty spaces
Is my one and only crime
I've lived a thousand times
I found out what it means to be believed
The thoughts and images
The unborn child that never was conceived

When little worlds collide
I'm trapped inside my embryonic cell
And flashing memories
Are cast into the never ending well
The name that scorns the face
The child that never sees the cause of man
The deathly darkness that
Belies the fate of those who never ran

Well I know its hard for you
To know the reason why
And I know you'll understand
More when it's time to die
Don't believe the life you have
Will be the only one
You have to let your body sleep
To let your soul live on

Love has given life to you
And now it's your concern
Unseen eyes of inner life
Will make your soul return
Still I look but not to touch
The seeds of life are sown
Curtain of the future falls
The secret stays unknown

Just remember love is life
And hate is living death
Treat your life for what it's worth
And live for every breath
Looking back I've lived and learned
But now I'm wondering
Here I wait and only guess
What this next life will bring​
