1.Fire
Lyricist:Michael Hughes, William C Hummel Jr
Everything is burning
Your eyes are burning
Your thoughts are burning
Your sight, your vision, they're burning
They burn with the fires of greed
They burn with the fires of anger
They burn with the fires of ignorance
And anger, and greed
Fire, fire
Tearing your lathered face in the mirror
Steel glistening, razor scraping words
Plastered and hung, plastered and hung
Between you laughing
Your ears are burning
Your nose is burning
Your tongue is burning
Your body, burning your mind
Fire, fire
Tearing your lathered face in the mirror
Steel glistening, razor scraping words
Plastered and hung, plastered and hung
Between you laughing
They burn with the fires of greed
They burn with the fires of anger
They burn with the fires of ignorance
And anger, and greed
They burn with the fears of death
They burn with the fears of birth
They burn with the fears of death
And anger, and greed
Sounds are burning
Tastes are burning
Smells are burning
Your thoughts, burning your mind
Fire, fire, fire, fire
Tearing your lathered face in the mirror
Steel glistening, razor scraping words
Plastered and hung, plastered and hung
Between you laughing
2.Winter Stars
Lyricist:William C Jr Hummel
You and I
Out of a limitless sea
Surfaced simultaneously
You and I, we coincide
To share another epoch
In beginning less time
Sitting quietly, here tonight
Mindlessly beneath the stars
Like molecules, comically
Scattered microscopically
Winter stars
And you and I
Winter stars
And you and I
You and I
Scattered particles
Through infinite time
You and I
Content to share our time alive
Content to coincide
Sitting quietly, here tonight
Mindlessly beneath the stars
Like galaxies, comically
Scattered telescopically
Winter stars
And you and I
Winter stars
And you and I
Winter stars
And you and I
Winter stars
And you and I
You and I here tonight
Mindlessly beneath the stars
You and I, comically
Together existentially
Winter stars
And you and I
Winter stars
And you and I
Winter stars
And you and I
Winter stars
And you and I
And you and I
And you and I
And you and I
And you and I
3.Organism
Lyricist:William C Jr Hummel
Everything is beyond the limits
Of your mind, no one knows
What it means to be but I feel
That all that I can do is wonder
There's nothing greater
Nothing to look for beyond
And all that we are are thoughts
And we are all our thoughts
And we are nothing beyond
I can see it now
Memories of other days
Turn through my brain
But tonight as always
I cannot breathe
Everything has been done
There is no one, no you, no I
No need to try and breathe
'Cause I feel fine
And all that I can do is wonder
There's nothing greater
Nothing to look for beyond
And all that we are are thoughts
And we are all our thoughts
And we are nothing beyond
I can see it now
Memories of other days
Turn through my brain
But tonight as always
I cannot breathe
And all that I can do is wonder
And all that I can do is wonder
And all that I can do is wonder
And all that I can do is wonder
And all that I can do is wonder
And all that I can do is wonder
There's nothing greater
Nothing to look for beyond
And all that we are are thoughts
And we are all our thoughts
And we are nothing beyond
4.Here And Now
Lyricist:William C Jr Hummel
(Here we go, uh)
The buzz of electric lamplight
From down on the sidewalk
You struggle
Grasp your night shirt and turn
But the universe doesn't say
What you want it to say
The universe says, just what it says
When it says what it says
But on the Planet Earth
Spinning around its axis
Revolving around the Sun
Revolving around the center
Of the Milky Way galaxy
In a super cluster of galaxies
Will it ever be you and me?
Here and now, here and now
Here and now, here and now
Your consoling hands in a gesture
Well placed and throbbing
Throbbing with the buzz of electric lamplight
From down on the sidewalk
But the universe doesn't say
What you want it to say
The universe says, just what it says
When it says what it says
But on the Planet Earth
Spinning around its axis
Revolving around the Sun
Revolving around the center
Of the Milky Way galaxy
In a super cluster of galaxies
Will it ever be you and me?
Here and now, here and now
Here and now, here and now
The buzz of electric lamplight
From down on the sidewalk
You struggle, grasp
Your night-shirt and turn
But the universe doesn't say
What you want it to say
The universe says, just what it says
When it says what it says
Quanta, mesons, hadrons
Photons, neutrons, electrons
And protons combining to form
Atoms and molecules
And compounds and cells
Tissues and organs
In a system of a being
But on the Planet Earth
Spinning around its axis
Revolving around the Sun
Revolving around the center
Of the Milky Way galaxy
In a super cluster of galaxies
Will it ever be you and me?
Here and now, here and now
Here and now, here and now
5.Polarized
Lyricist:William C Jr Hummel
When I think about how I came
To be out of limitless energy
I become cosmic evolution and momentum
But somewhere down the block
A man is screaming, a car is accelerating
And somewhere downtown
An empty elevator opens, closes
It's just a swirling mass
In a charged dance, polarized
It's just a swirling mass
In a charged dance, polarized
If that's the way, if that's the way
The way it is then I don't mind
And if that's the way, if that's the way
The way it is then it is what it is
And I don't mind
I am drugged with simulacra
I am brainwashed and numb
Brainwashed and numb with apathy
But somewhere down the block
A man is screaming, a car is accelerating
And somewhere downtown
An empty elevator opens, closes
If that's the way, if that's the way
The way it is then I don't mind
And if that's the way, if that's the way
The way it is then it is what it is
And I don't mind
It's just a swirling mass
In a charged dance, polarized
It's just a swirling mass
In a charged dance, polarized
It's just a swirling mass
In a charged dance, polarized
It's just a swirling mass
In a charged dance, polarized
Somewhere down the block
A man is screaming, a car is accelerating
And somewhere downtown
An empty elevator opens, closes
If that's the way, if that's the way
The way it is then I don't mind
And if that's the way, if that's the way
The way it is then it is what it is
And I don't mind
6.Jive
Lyricist:Jr., William Hummel
Well, I thought about the scene a lot
And I've come to the conclusion
Back in the day we used to admit to the confusion
That exists between real styles and illusion
But I must tell you if you think that we are losin' our honesty
Because we are bustin' out like confusions on those of you who
think
That you are choosin' the right of way because you hear it
everyday
Well turn off your radio turn it off all the way
We're not Ska-Core, Reggae, Jazz, we're not hip hop or rock or
pop
You know we won't stop groovin', it's like a thing called Jive
You mix it up and keep the people satisfied
No need to classify or nullify the claims that say we're insane
So to pacify those of you who need a label call it what you want
I know you'll kick it if you're able
We call it Jive
Don't get me wrong, I don't think that we're special
Just 'cause our sound is not that commercial
Or maybe it is, maybe that's not for me to say
But I've seen less honest music every day
Just like our soundless souls that are sold on the radio
Melodramatic lyrics made up like Fabio
They hide reality in a well made allusion
To a world where the real is illusion
We call it Jive
Well, I remember the times we used to hit downtown Richmond
Got kicked out the metro, me and my blind jeans
My Indy hat ended up on the street
And I went back for a smoke in my capri
Back then is when we used to swang, rankin'
And skankin' was the thang
Until the music scene back home sold out
That's when me and my crew decided to show them what it's all
about
For the Old Skool we were late, we put down the skates
Started grabbin' guitars horns drums and the bass
Kickin it live inside the garage
Hittin' them with a lyrical barrage
But it's like we're trippin' tips shit got drastically
Of a sudden the need to play bombastically
We lost sight of what is real
It took us this long to get back on the reel to reel
We call it Jive
7.The New One
Lyricist:Hummel William Cleveland Jr
I sat on the end of my bed with my legs
Shoved between the foot board and the mattress
And I stared at my hands as you came in
And asked me what was wrong
'Have you ever wondered why you are your name?
Or why you are here and not somewhere else?
Or why here is where it is, and the whole time
You feel like you're spinning and falling?'
I stopped and looked at him
He looked at me and he sorta laughed
And he said, 'No'
8.Flesh And Bone
Lyricist:Hummel William Cleveland Jr
My world is all spring flowers
Underneath the autumn moon
Your arms around me carry
Away my heart like a lost red balloon
As long as I am flesh and bone
I will never find rest
There will never come a time
When I can finally resist
Too caught up in the world of pleasure
I'm carnal knowledge
Just lookin' for treasure of the flesh
Displayin' neurosis
Seein' all the crowds around
Has givin' me a psychosis
I'm crazy, makin' me lazy
My mind is all hazy
The things that you do, amaze me
Jealous of the fools that are all around me
Another heathen
That's never really found me
9.Everywhere
Lyricist:Hummel William Cleveland Jr
I'm feelin' somethin' all around
I feel it everywhere
I don't know what it is that I'm feelin'
Must be something in the air
I'm feelin' somethin' from underground
I feel it everywhere
I don't know what it is that I'm feelin'
I feel it everywhere
Alone, when we're not alone
I'm in the same bus on the way to the same show
It's the same thing everywhere
I don't know what it is that I'm feelin'
Must be something in the air
Alone when we're not alone
I never really thought
That I'd be something special
I've always tried to live my life
Aware that I'm infinitesimal
Compared to the rocks
The mountains and the sea
The continents of earth
And all of the planets
You see the solar system's large milky way
Large, too much exists, the universe is large
For us to think that our problems are worth
The problems we bring to this one chunk of earth
10.Motivate
Lyricist:Hummel William Cleveland Jr
Motivate
Said, we've got to motivate
Ourselves right now
Motivate
We've got to motivate
Sane thing happen
Everyday and every night
And I know
All I wanna do is hold you tight
When I look around
I see that things are going down
Motivate
Said, we've got to motivate
Ourselves right now
Motivate
We've got to motivate
Do you open your eyes
To the things that we're fighting for?
'Cuz I know I don't
Wanna lose like we lost before
When I look around
Our satellites' been on the ground
Motivate
Said, we've got to motivate
Ourselves right now
Motivate
We've got to motivate
Think of the way
Think of the way that you walk around
Do you open your eyes
To the things that are going down?
When I look around
I see the world's been upside down
Motivate
Said, we've got to motivate
Ourselves right now
Motivate
We've got to motivate
