The Ernies Unreleased Songs Lyrics
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
