Men Without Castles

All of the luck
it went to you.
Feeding you with
a silver spoon.
My stuggles stems
for making ends meet
Your ends were sewn together
early and neat.
Man,
where is my castle
I'm a man
without a castle
Yea
life is a hassle
I'm a man
without a castle.
I am without
oppurtunity
that you take for granted
isn't free for me.
My struggle stems
from making a name
but yours opens doors
to fortune and fame.
Man,
where is my castle
I'm a man
without a castle
Yea
life is a hassle
I'm a man
without a castle.
All I was told to do when I grew up
was keep trying my best
But then I turn on the tube and watch in awe
some lives are just effortless.

Simple You
03:20
|

No need to know what's the weather,
There's always sun when we're together.
And when we formed our loving pair,
You made me feel like a millionaire.
I don't want the golden sun,
I don't want the silver moon,
I don't want the crystal seas,
I just want the simple you.
No need to talk of da Vinci,
Don't feel a need to impress me.
While he had tried to reach the skies,
You took me there with just your eyes.
I don't want the golden sun,
I don't want the silver moon,
I don't want the crystal seas,
I just want the simple you.

Sleep
03:08
|
|||
Alarm clocks attacking my brain
and I
Can't afford to hit the snooze again.
But I wait
Wake up late
Not enough time to get some food on my plate
Why?
Is this hurting my head
Could have chose something easy instead
And I try
Try so hard
I can't let loose or i'll just fall right apart
What if I told you there's no heaven or hell?
No common notion that I'm here to sell...
What if I told you a belief that I keep?
That after life we all get sleep
How?
Can I waste my time?
Knowing this, it seems like such a crime.
And I try, and I try
To make it count before I say goodbye.
What if I told you there's no heaven or hell?
No common notion that I'm here to sell...
What if I told you a belief that I keep?
That after life we all get sleep
[solo]
What if I told you there's no heaven or hell?
No common notion that I'm here to sell...
What if I told you a belief that I keep?
That after life we all get sleep

Bad Faith
03:39
|

As fate would have it the other day
I came across an alien race
They seem to live just below the ground
I can't believe what I had found
Their lizard bodies stood eight feet tall
I knew I stood no chance at all
And just as I considered myself dead
They turned to me and then they said
Won't you
come down
with us
We'll show
you some
secrets
Like how
all of time is
conceived
I said
no thanks
I'll leave
My fleeing motive was very clear
What got the best of me was fear
They could have told me how it all began
but in the end I'm a cowardly man
At night I still twist and I turn
wondering what it is that I could learn
My dreams were stuck on constant replay
over and over I hear them say:
Won't you
come down
with us
We'll show
you some
secrets
Like how
all of time is
conceived
I said
no thanks
I'll leave
[solo]
I went back to the cave again
Not a trace was left by them
Missed my chance to understand it all
feel so small
feel so small
never will
hear them call
Won't you
come down
with us
We'll show
you some
secrets
Like how
all of time is
conceived
Where are you going
please don't leave

Our Garden
04:00
|
|||
I
know a place where we can rest
Away
Far away from this tangled mess
where fruit
weightlessly dances off the tree
and snakes,
are carved in stone, they're just scenery
Winding pathways all tinted green
As we make our way across
Where the world still holds some mystery
In the garden of our love
Far away from stressed city streets
Where all the noise is soft
Blooming brings serenity
In the garden of our love
Wind
Carries our words like seeds
and Earth
A common ground for you and me
and sun dripping through the leaves
warmth that brings some energy
and rain dripping similarly
needed for balance and purity
Winding pathways all tinted green
As we make our way across
Where the world still holds some mystery
In the garden of our love
Far away from stressed city streets
Where all the noise is soft
Blooming brings serenity
In the garden of our love
We get wrapped up in feeling
as the flower petals close
guided by the moon its us
and the garden of our love.

Daniel
05:51
|

[verses]
It was late this winter when we got the news
from Daniel, our leader, of a monster who's
human-like body was an insult to life
and had hell's fires glowing bright in his eyes.
And so we stood there paralyzed
As Daniel talked of its great size
Wings that spanned all the sky
As if to hide us from God's eye.
And then he said
This thing's a plauge that can't be spread
It is so infectious and
we will call it Sartious.
[Chorus]
Oh Daniel,
won't you please
deliver us from this?
Oh Daniel,
if you say
this really does exist...
then
Make haste
and go depart
so you can face this evil
and pierce it's heart
Oh Daniel,
if you need me
I'll assist.
[verses]
Several days had passed until we reached the beast
it's shadow feasting on the village beneath
I said to Daniel "This doesn't make sense, because
this monster hasn't made a single offence."
And so he paused and deeply sighed
and turned to me with saddend eyes
Yes I understand this thought
but the Lord would want me to take the first shot.
And then he aimed
his bow and arrow with some disdain
Released the string and thus begun
How everything had come undone.
[Chorus]
[needs more]
Oh Daniel,
can you feel how
everything does shake
Oh Daniel,
let us hear this
last speech it will make
And from his fangs,
Yeah I found it odd,
He spoke not of Satan
But the Word of God.
Oh Daniel,
I think we've made a big mistake.
[ending]
Mankind,
you enigmatic thing,
This defense
is intolerance.
Your hands
hold matters stained with blood
Found His Word
but your ears, they misheard.

A Bizarre Creation
03:46
|
|||
Always bearing custody,
designated effigy.
Hurled into jail, key-less lock,
mmmm no peculiar shock.
Time unforgiving,
victim's woe,
X's, Y's = zero.
Once I too had fears of these three things,
so for peace: five fingers and six strings.
step by step I walk this earth
taking in a moment's worth
side to side I glance around
I'm overcome by sight and sound
hotter, hotter grows the air
under all these masks i still feel bare
all eyes are judgements, scanning me
i'm boiling in humanity
choking, choking, losing air
body trembles, I am scared
this old friend who visits me
I call him Anxiety.

Buzz
03:53
|
|||
[Verse/chorus]
Buzzing of the bees
A hum in the distance intriguing me
Steps draw me near
I enter their world while mine disappears
My minds in the hive
I'm being awakened while going inside
Gold lines the walls
I'm beckoned with splendor and distant calls.
[Bridge]
Follow the voices that are calling me
I see the beauty of the bee
All united, no questions asked
To serve the state with their given task.
And after all I'd seen
The one calling me was
the Queen.
[Ending]
Go out
my son
spread this
pollen
Speak our
truths, oh,
Manifesto

Red Evening
05:29
|
|||
I know a man with a silver tongue
tried to sell me the world
tried to sell it to anyone.
And in all of our despair
willfully gave him our ear
and listened to him captivate.
Now many years have passed up by
since that man and his lie
stormed through here like a hurricane.
Our comrade has betrayed us all.
A man, a legend that we could believe.
He walks beside you and me,
in these ruins we call streets.
So solemnly he speaks,
of red skies and bright stars,
as if to move to Mars,
and release our spoiled hearts,
and unite us.
Now we're done, back to this, square one. 3x
I don't want to wait another second
for miracles
My hands and all these bricks, will rebuild,
one by one.
There's no solution sitting in the sky
There's only us, our struggles and our drive.
