Blue Pill Box

All I hear, the trumpets
As the circus nears
The big show has us circled
Tickets please
The snake oils gone
But fools still swan to promises
Don’t you ask don't get to close
Don’t want to see
Hold me closer don’t let me go
Catch me as the curtain starts to fall
Falling
Now the man with the fake tan
Won’t be the last we see
So stand up and take a bow
Praise apathy
As we spiral down
We drown we drown in loneliness
Because the noise
Covers the void
Of humanity
Hold me closer don't let me go
Catch me as the curtain starts to fall
Falling
From the blue pill box I stare between the sheets
Adjust me, Adjust me, Adjust me
From the blue pill box
The glare reflects the heat
Adjust me, Adjust me, Adjust me
Hold me a little closer
Don’t let me go
Catch me as the curtain starts to fall
In the blue pill box
That’s where I need to be
Adjust me, Adjust me, Adjust me
In the blue pill box
I sweat blood between my teeth
Adjust me, Adjust me, Adjust me
From the blue pill box I stare between the sheets
Adjust me, Adjust me, Adjust me

Bukowskis Shoes

Such a strange time to live
In history's page what will be writ
Or do we all fall over again
Seems like all have opposing views
The truth worn down
By the loud and the rude
Like Murakami in Bukowski’s shoes
Seems like it’s us against the world
Seems like it’s boys against the girls
All that I know
I know nothing
All that I know
I know nothing

Cefalu

If I had to waste a lifetime
To understand the sea
Or the movement of my hands
As they blow against the wind
Would you wait for me
If I had to climb a mountain high
To view my Cefalu
To capture all the beauty
Of a memory
A memory that is you
Would you wait for me
When common thought is unspoken
Only lines all blurred remain
A deep breath
Deeper than the surface
As we watch the sugar melt in the rain
Would you wait for me
Would you wait
If I am lost, know I am looking
For the path promised to show the way
I hear your voice still calling me
Back to warmth
The warmth of better days
Would you wait for me
Would you wait
Would you wait for me
Would you wait
It's all it's all going up in flames
The destruction will bare
A brand new day
But the truth remains the same
The truth remains the same
If I’m brave, If I’m brave
A new day
If I had to waste a lifetime
To understand just me
I’ll wade into the deep
Will you wait for me
Will you wait for me

Have you ever stopped to wonder why
All these feelings you have inside
Are they all real or simply puff and stuff
Never had the thought to question
Why I had a second skin
Now all that pain has been removed
With a pallet of sweet vermouth
Only the sublime can make me smile
Ever had the thought to question
Why you had a second skin
All you had to give me
I want more
All you had to give
I want more
So long, Im gone
This won't be a mystery
Never had the thought to question
Why I had a second skin
All you had to give me
I want more
All you had to give
I want more

I had a crisis of you
I don’t know what I should do
You don’t know me I love you
You say you don’t understand
When I reach for your hand
You don’t know me I love you
Silently we planned
To see the world at our command
But sadness has greatly undermanned
The moment the meaning
Of you
On a stage built for two
Only me and only you
You don’t see me I love you
You stare at me but look straight though
Where I am is only you
Please believe I loved you
Listen in the silence
That's where I'll be
Know I'm here
For you eternally
For you
For you

Thin Is The Air
03:59
|

My eyes are closing
A sense of regret
That I don’t want to know
Voices
I could be dreaming
It's raw and bleeding
I don't want to know
As I take flight
My wings are wooden
To thin is the air
To hide what I shouldn't
I still remain
The last romance
Eternal breath
It's all been wasted
On fools
So in the end
No one loses, no one wins
The darkest of night
So cruel, so cruel
Eyes now are closed for landing
A sense of regret
I don't want to know
Voices
I could be dreaming
I'm raw and bleeding
Colours from my soul

Things That You Said
02:28

No alibis can hide the slaughter
No judgement gonna hold the tide
One hand with a thought to sort ya
All its gonna take to get a kick inside
Big promises serve no one sir
Small man on a big tall stage
A target hangs upon the altar
Nothing lasts forever when you play this
game
There's a hole in your head
Where all your hopes have fled
And the dreams you’ve been saving
Are now just the dreams that you’ve spent
There's a hole in your head
Where your thoughts have turned red
And all the things you were saying
Are now just the things that you said
Let your eyes now slide
We'll watch at five
A man in a square
He read the lines
And as light moves in
Erasing cries
Memories are free again

Trouble Girl
05:15

You ain't seen nothing
Through that broken view
It’s all smoke and mirrors
And all the thorns amongst the dew
They are nothing more than words
In the field and running
Chasing shadows of old
The voices be the master
It’s all you have ever known
They are nothing more than words
You’re licking at the wounds
That never seem to soothe
My trouble girl
My trouble girl
You’re picking at the holes
Left by someone else
My trouble girl
My trouble girl

Not about the physics, evolution
Or the son of god
Or helping mankind help themselves
The love of hate,
The zen of war
Only complicated, obfuscated
To us mortals, oui
Means nothing to me, means nothing
Nothing to me
All you got is right in front of you
Just a bit part in a themed park zoo
You only do what you want to do
You only do what they tell you to
Not about the science, such defiance
Dunning Krugers smiles
When cracks appear ignore them dear
You know you’re wrong, you’re wrong
You’re right
I’ll tell you what I think
I’ll tell ya what I think
I think I’ll tell ya
The certain are the stupid
While the wise are
Made to suffer
My only lover
To our dear mother
Earth
All you got is right in front of you
Just a bit part in a themed park zoo
You only do what you want to do
You only do what they tell you to
I only came here for a short time
I stayed too long
I only came here for a short time
I stayed too long
I’m only saying what I’m thinking
But I might be wrong
I’m only saying what I’m thinking
But I might be wrong
I’m only saying what I’m thinking
But I might be wrong
I’m only singing, not believing
That’s the end

CycleOfTheMuses Melbourne, Australia
Through the twisted neurons and dystopian wit of Cycle Of The Muses, they deliver tunes that glide from electric lullabies to rock with orchestral fractures, But it's all the nuances in between that delivers the thrill.
