(VERSE 1)
Red and blue colors,
Merge in seas,
And that feeds that lions,
Merchant teeth,
And the big blue baby boy,
Camoflagued to see me with a rocket,
On the shoulder
(PRE-CHORUS)
And this is how,
You burn the sun,
And the this is how,
You burn the sun,
So go fight your battles,
Go, just know,
That opinions,
Can't be won.
(CHORUS 1)
I'll scream to the land,
Of prosperity,
Maybe,
It will burn me down.
And I'll speak to the world,
About my random imagery,
Baby,
Don't leave me alone.
(VERSE 3)
Red and blue,
Paves the way,
And Red and Blue,
Saves the day,
But, You can't escape the way,
You can't escape today,
These politicians are coming up,
Hey what's your say.
(PRE-CHORUS)
Say,
What's your say?
Say,
What's your say?
You grow, you grow,
But today,
You'll know, you'll know,
Come what may.
(CHORUS 1)
(VERSE 3)
Red and blue, yeah.
Red and blue, yeah.
Red and blue, yeah.
Red and blue, yeah.
(CHORUS 2)
And I'll scream to the land,
Of prosperity,
Maybe,
It will burn me down.
And I'll speak to the world,
About my random imagery,
And then maybe,
I won't be so alone.

The Worst
03:59
|
|||
|
(VERSE 1)
The worst has yet to come,
When your body's old and done,
But now you risk conformity,
While you lack the ability,
To rise,
Above above sunlight,
(CHORUS 1)
Scorching you with made up queues.
From made up lies that you can't chose,
To hide,
Your eyes,
From perceiving,
What it wants to,
Believe,
Believe.
(VERSE 2)
I hope the starlight burns your eyes,
So you wouldn't see what you didn't want to see,
Standing blindly on the road to no where,
No offense,
To you, dear,
(CHORUS 2)
You seem like a wonderful person,
You seem like a righteous offer,
But now,
It's a new day,
And I can't wait until I flood the streets,
With a little compassion,
And it's so discrete.
(VERSE 3)
I am burning on this stage,
And I try to do something good,
And the best they can think of is what I shouldn't show,
And my senses are begging you,
Don't censor this song,
For the lonely priests and preachers,
Who couldn't bare to lie,
To rise,
Above above sunlight,
(CHORUS 1)
Scorching you with made up queues.
From made up lies that you can't chose,
To hide,
Your eyes,
From perceiving,
What it wants to,
Believe,
Believe.
(OUTRO)
You're alone,
but that doesn't mean you can cry about it, no,
You're alone,
but that doesn't mean you can cry about it, no,
You're alone,
but that doesn't mean you can cry about it, no,
You're alone,
but that doesn't mean you can cry about it, no.

|
(VERSE 1)
I'm the man,
I'm the man,
Who lives on the other side of the world,
Singing to all the beautiful girls,
But this girl,
I die, die in the moonlight,
But this girl,
I wanna take her, take her on the other side,
And if I could,
I get right down there,
I get right down there,
To the place where she stood.
(CHORUS)
I'd like to fly real high,
Across the oceans,
To where I lay,
Beside her,
And pair into her eyes,
And pair into the ever ever, ever growing cosmos.
(VERSE 2)
On her side,
On her side,
Time is a frightening thing,
And the sun and moon aim,
straight, straight, straight for the sky,
Her eyes are brighter than, than the moon light,
This girl,
I wanna take her, take her on the other side,
And if I could,
I get right down there,
I get right down there,
To the place where she stood.
(CHORUS)

I've been making music since high school. I just really like to do it. A lot of the music on this page is from many bands I use to be in and from my solo career. The song descriptions let you know who was in the making of each song. I hope you enjoy the music! ... more
