"The Machine" Short Audio Version
What is the machine but the child of our hand,
Born not of nature’s womb but thought's demand?
It grows like a child, then turns to a beast,
Its bones of steel, its hunger unleashed.
Heartbeat pounding, gears in time,
Is it our creation, or the shape of our climb?
Oh, the machine, a mirror of the soul,
A marvel, a terror, it makes us whole.
Does it reflect, or does it consume?
Is it life’s new dawn or our silent tomb?
You, a traveler from the stars afar,
Gaze at our machine, the iron...
Born not of nature’s womb but thought's demand?
It grows like a child, then turns to a beast,
Its bones of steel, its hunger unleashed.
Heartbeat pounding, gears in time,
Is it our creation, or the shape of our climb?
Oh, the machine, a mirror of the soul,
A marvel, a terror, it makes us whole.
Does it reflect, or does it consume?
Is it life’s new dawn or our silent tomb?

The Dreamer and the Dream
(In coming to, I come to find that)
I've been living the life of a character in a dream
And I care about my character, but I know that he's not me
And as I look around at all the people living out their reverie,
I see
Everything is happening within
Nothing's really happening without
Everyone is wondering (what it all means)
I'm the dreamer, and I am the dream
There's no thinker thinking anything
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
I am dreaming you, and you are dreaming me ...
I've been living the life of a character in a dream
And I care about my character, but I know that he's not me
And as I look around at all the people living out their reverie,
I see
Everything is happening within
Nothing's really happening without
Everyone is wondering (what it all means)
I'm the dreamer, and I am the dream
There's no thinker thinking anything
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
I am dreaming you, and you are dreaming me ...

The Many Seated Vehicle Song
Can someone help me?
I need a song that starts off slow
and slowly turns fast
One that grows in tempo
the longer it lasts,
and by the end
has gravitational mass
when it picks up
and the singer gets mad
then the song gets calm again
and it ends
as it started
Like if it was a song about a car
it would start with something simple
like
Someone humming
and strumming a guitar ...

Bullet in a Barrel
She scoffed and asked me
where I get my HEROES from
I snapped and said this
The bottom of a barrel,
and then she begged me to tell her where
I scraped my air of EGO from
and out of my mouth fell truth,
from rotten cells neath the scum
beneath the bottom of that same barrel,
Then she chimed in, pleading me, asking me
from where
did all...
where I get my HEROES from
I snapped and said this
The bottom of a barrel,

TEACH ME YOU
Just like the sun rises and sets, I shall seek and find.
Petals unfurl slow and wide; if I find you, I will hold and never let go.
I will nurture you just like a farmer is gentle with his garden.
And do only what's right to make you think I am divine.
Teach me you, what's the routine to your glow?
I am here standing longing to know the formulae that has all of us falling so slow.
Can I be your guide?
Teach me about your landscapes inside then.
So that I can feel the portholes and have a smooth run,
How about the topography of your...

World Of Music
If I were to live in the world of music forever.
I could feel however I want.
I could be happy,understood.
And be anything I want.
I could have magical romances.
In ballroom,romantic dances.
I could feel like someone understands.
What I did in the past to stain my hands.
I would be able to rise and fly.
And I would never feel sad or cry.
Because I could listen to the lyrics all day.
Who tell me that they understand,and it's okay.
If I were in the world of music,I would have someone next to me. ...

Music Stories Episode 6 (Neil Young - Mr.Soul)
Welcome to music stories. I’m your host, Damian DeadLove. Tonight I’m gonna try something a little different from the past episodes. This is kinda a lyrical deep dive concept.
Let me ask your opinion on something. Have you ever had a song that you lyrically connected to? To the point you almost felt as if it was written for you, or possibly about you? I’m sure you probably have, I know I’m not the only one.
Now obviously I know it’s not written about me. Doesn’t change the fact I relate to the words, and how they touch my soul. So tonight’s artist is Canada’s...

Music Stories Episode 4 (The Doors - Light My Fire)
Welcome to music stories. I’m your host, Damian DeadLove. Tonight’s band is, “The Doors”. I’m a huge fan of this group since the first time I heard them when I was 13 years old. Which was many, many, summers ago. They have such a distinct sound, mainly because of the organ. I’m convinced that’s a big part of it, but it’s not the whole picture by any means.
The Doors, formed in 1965. After some early lineup changes, these four men are recognized as the members of the band. They are: Jim Morrison - Vocals, Robby Krieger - Guitar, Ray Manzarek - Organ/Keyboards, John Densmore -...

Like To Say
I’ve seen you now a many a time.
Sitting on the park bench.
With scarf wrapped tight around you.
Just trying to feed the birds.
You come here often with a dime.
To pay for seed by cent.
And that’s just where I found you.
Just a laying in the dirt.
I tried to call a help for you.
You cried me not to go.
For you had a story to tell.
So somebody would know.
When lass you stepped up to the line.
And donned a uniform.
You marched against the greatest crime.
Long before I was born.
At first I...

Out Of Love
Lights on the highway show me home.
Life of a sad day I've never known.
The jig is up, I know something's wrong.
I can't go on and sing another song.
All around me people fade away.
Another April turns into May.
Another year has come and gone without you by my side.
My fantasy says you told the truth but reality says you lied.
Oh, baby, come, open your door.
Let me in out of the sun.
Take off all your clothes.
Dance in the rain.
We become one.
Kiss me on the lips as the rain falls.
Aimlessly run.
Sleep...

Lazy In The Days Of Industry
Who can choke us?
Pay for a crime we can’t commit.
And stoke the fire until it’s bright burning blue.
Hocus pocus.
We should all just admit.
There’s no one at the top looking out for you.
It’s just a way of life.
You’ve got to earn it all.
Work like a slave.
Dream of the empire’s fall.
Work, work, work!
Work, work, work!
Work, work, work!
Work, work, work!
Public service announcement time.
Listen up you little men.
You can’t get away.
With living lazy ways.
Lazy in the days...
Pay for a crime we can’t commit.
And stoke the fire until it’s bright burning blue.
Hocus pocus.
We should all just admit.
There’s no one at the top looking out for you.
It’s just a way of life.
You’ve got to earn it all.
Work like a slave.
Dream of the empire’s fall.
Work, work, work!
Work, work, work!
Work, work, work!
Work, work, work!
Public service announcement time.
Listen up you little men.
You can’t get away.
With living lazy ways.
Lazy in the days...

Powerflux
Miles and miles of road just to get home.
I can't justify it, it would be wrong.
But there is a place so far away where my heart belongs.
Walk through the trees.
Look to the sky.
I feel the breeze.
I feel my life.
Oh, well, silence overtook me.
I have freedom to be free.
This is the only life I live for.
The only God I believe.
Bring hope back to me.
There's a place so far away.
Bring hope back to me.
Give me what I seek.
Kiss me on the cheek.
Live me, live a freak. ...
