(Watch the Mirror) Don’t Cry Tomorrow

Posted on 06.27.21 under Uncategorized

Darkness falls on the beach,
Whispered promise in the night
Our hopes take flight
Drunken laughter drifts from the bar
Echoes with free-floating lust
And Fools Gold Dust

Don’t cry tomorrow for what you did today
There’s no redemption even if you pray

Slave to the pleasures of the purse
Chasing bright and shiny things
we have been cursed
Keeping score in this game of life
Moved your pawn across the board
Ambition is your overlord

(Watch the mirror, Watch the mirror)
Don’t cry tomorrow for what you did today
(Watch the mirror, Watch the mirror)
There’s no redemption even if you pray

Sleeping for so long I can’t
Answer the morning bell
This morning from hell
Born from darkness, black from white
Meditate until I dream
I’m bathed in the light

(Watch the mirror, Watch the mirror)
Don’t cry tomorrow for what you did today
(Watch the mirror, Watch the mirror)
There’s no redemption even if you pray

Hubris has crowned us

Posted on 06.23.21 under Uncategorized

Fever dreams of sweat and heat
Seduced by the beat
Pulled into a fantasy
Screaming like a trapped banshee

Hubris has crowned us (tell me the truth)
Fortune’s debt has found us
Lover’s grief has bound us (tell me the truth)
Tides of pride will drown us

Flat broke with nowhere left to hide
Knocked out in shards of shattered pride
Followed a master, but they were flying blind
Can’t change the world can’t even change your mind


Hubris has crowned us (tell me the truth)
Fortune’s debt has found us
Lover’s grief has bound us (tell me the truth)
Tides of pride will drown us


Palpitations of our pounding hearts
Victims of the dark magic arts
Suckers for a charlatan’s poisoned words
In the Theater of the Absurd
