Transduction/T2
Lyrics: Mahoney
Music: Douville, Mahoney
Oh, my parts come from many lands
I’m put together with many strands
And in my bases, my roots do lie
I’ll break you down until you cry
Oh, yeah they call me T2
I’m inside you
Stick it, stick it in
That’s what I’ll do.
I travel ‘round in search of prey
The unprepared are easy to sway
If you’re not wary of what you do
I’ll stick my genome into you
I have been known to cause great pain
When I come in with you from the rain
From your eyes, those tears will flow
When I’m inside of you my offspring will grow.
Time Constrictions
Lyrics: Mahoney
Music: Black, Douville, Mahoney
I hear the second alarm
Oblivious to the time it’s reading
I stumble into the hall
My pulse is quick from a heart that’s beating
So…., so…. Fast
It’s nearly seven o’clock
No time to shave or to eat a good meal
I’m out the door in a flash
I floor the pedal and turn my wheels
So…., so…. Fast
I might not make it in time
My future is on the line
Whether in fact or in fiction
Working against time constrictions
And now I bid you farewell
You see I don’t have much time for talking
All right then, just go to Hell
I think it’s time to set my feet walking
So…., so…. Fast
Nice Days
Lyrics: Mahoney
Music: Douville, Mahoney
I liked the way the sun came up today
It’s all right, yeah, it’s all right
I heard the melodies in my ears
It’s all right, yeah, it’s all right
Dew was falling from the trees
The morning broke with a quiet breeze
The mountain’s high, the valley low
The ground is hot, the water cold
The sun has brought us a nice day today
And all the creatures come out to play
Well, I climbed up to the highest ground
It’s all right, yeah, it’s all right
I scanned the land for miles around
It’s all right, yeah, it’s all right
I found a shady place and took a seat
And watched nature work all around me
Tomorrow
Lyrics & Music: Douville
“Wait for me tomorrow,” she said,
“On the other side of the morning.
Oh child, don’t bring regrets,
And we’ll heed no warning.
Let’s race the dawn until we can’t go on.
What lovers wish to know, only time will show.
In your arms I had a vision,
With you there’s no decision.”
Razed by desire and bonded rings,
I said, “I know what tomorrow will bring.”
Quietly haunting the break of day
You know the cool wind sighed
As you ran away
Hollow laughter in my head,
Time slowed down only when it bled.
Razor tears cut into me.
What was once is what will be
I won’t betray our sacred pacts of that day.
Hold me in your heart, in you heart and say
That I know what tomorrow will bring.
Throw this world away,
And we’ll start anew
On this hallowed ground
Is where I’ll meet you.
Tomorrows are made today by what we do
And today I’ll play this song for you
I won’t betray our sacred pacts of that day
Just hold me in your heart, in your heart and say
That I know what tomorrow will bring.
Moon Girl
Lyrics: Douville
Music: Black, Douville, Mahoney
She’s got a black hole under her skin
Don’t get too close, she’ll suck you in.
Leaving this world was never too complex for her
And I gave up all my light to get next to her
But she drifts off behind the sun
Going farther she’s on the run
Oh, she called me into the ocean
Where she held me in perpetual motion
And then we drifted off with the tide
Long to be my watery bride
We stood on the rocks waves rolled on the shore
She looked in my eyes said, “I can’t stand no more.”
What if right in all that I can see
Lies dull illusion insanity
Search for distraction to eat all my time
Gorged and so swollen you’d think it’s a crime
Shallow thoughts, surface tension abound
Walk on the water not as hard as it sounds
Walk for 40 days in the rain
Walk for 40 days in the rain
Howled my off-beat, drunken refrain for you, for you
Well she took a comet straight to the moon
But I know she’s coming home real soon
Leaving this world was never too complex for her
‘Cause I gave up all my light to get next to her
Tell Me
Lyrics & Music: Mahoney
I close my eyes; all I see are visions of you.
It’s no surprise for I am constantly thinking of you.
I wish you were here, by my side, hold me close, close to your heart.
Take me away to paradise, is this where love really starts?
I’d like to take you out one night, but you’re so far away.
I want to hold you oh so tight, when are you coming to stay?
Tell me, tell me why
You’re not by my side.
All that I say is true
Because I’m so in love with you.
When I fall deep in sleep at night, I see you come to me,
But then I wake up and find that I was just lost in a dream.
I hope you come back again so I could give you my hand,
But from today until then, I’ll do whatever I can.
Ooooh…
Fear of Extinction (Last Generation)
Lyrics: Mahoney
Music: Douville, Mahoney
I reach for the far, distant light
Engulfed in a pitch black night.
I look around, listen for a sound
Aware of the uprising fright.
I can’t understand the feelings that arise.
They’re welling from deep inside.
I’m paranoid, I can’t avoid
The coldness of someone who’s died.
People won’t know what hit them
When the sky’s ablaze,
A species nearing extinction,
Our planet out of phase.
Are we the last generation?
Villains committing heinous deeds
Deprive others of their needs
Do a little time, to pay for their crimes
Now they’re back, back to kill in the streets.
Disease runs rampant ‘cross the land.
Bury your face in your hands.
Overpopulation, compounds the situation.
We must rise up and take our stand.
Dreamstate
Lyrics: Black
Music: Black, Douville, Mahoney
I gaze to space from my windowsill (through far and away)
Out to the end of the universe (to the rise of day)
Disturbing pulse shocks the calm airwaves (taste the sensation)
Awaken me from this clouding daze (neural transmission)
Take a deep breath
Into your soul
Into your mind
Come in out of the cold
I never had a chance to be free (freedom comes too late)
To travel paths sans reality (always have to wait)
I can’t control aspects of my life (try to find the time)
Riddled by fate, destroyed by my strife (conflicts underlined)
It takes a tragedy sometimes, unlock the mind
Free powers deep within
Against my fragile soul a world, another twirl
Rotate another day
The world unknown, misunderstood
K+ Na+ pulse spanning neural cells (through vertebral train)
Cerebral surge electrochemical (language of the brain)
Beneath my skull, magic logical (memory of gold)
Beneath my mask, individual (breaker of the mold)
Particle waves rippling through time (split the empty void)
We see the light eight minutes behind (cleverly decoyed)
A younger beam than we would expect (taken by surprise)
My vision blurs all I can detect (focally deprived)
Stream of Tears
Lyrics & Music: Mahoney
Listen to the sound
Of water as it flows
Down the stream of tears
Flowing far from the human race.
But we walk away and laugh
And say the dreariness will pass.
Then we turn our heads around
But we only hear the sound
Of water rushing
Reminding us there’ll always be
The stream of tears.
So as I wait for someone
To come into
My life
Listening to the stream
Of tears and
Watching lonely
Hearts flow by
Is it really worth it?
“The Trek” Symphony #1 Mov. I
Lyrics: Douville, Mahoney
Music: Black, Douville, Mahoney
Trudging miles through hottest desert sand
Across the great Sahara, overland.
Searching for oases, quench my thirst
Waiting until nightfall, bear the worst.
Floating helpless, tossed beneath the waves
Sinking past me, bodies without graves.
Gold medallions scatter toward the floor
Think I’ll see my homeland nevermore.
Walking, talking, searching, always on the
Moving, seeking, reaching closer to your
Dreaming, racing, pushing, never time to
Sleeping, eating, drinking, waste away the day.
Visions riding through the desert sky
Laughing backward mocking all my cries.
The great despair is seeping into me,
Embracing death will follow presently.
Fingers scanning lines across the page
Choking down the words despite his age.
Hoping for one thought that’s all his own
Never thought he’d end his life alone.
In my head notes ring so beautifully
Stumble out as sterile symphonies.
How could deafened ears perceive it wrong
When the greatest movement comes along?
Walking, talking, searching, always on the
Moving, seeking, reaching closer to your
Dreaming, racing, pushing, never time to
Sleeping, eating, drinking, waste away the day
Deviled mermaids reaching through the waves
Of desolation, it’s my soul they crave.
I strain for comfort past the raging sea.
Embracing death will follow presently.
Walking, talking, searching, always on the
Moving, seeking, reaching closer to your
Dreaming, racing, pushing, never time to
Sleeping, eating, drinking, waste away the day
Tendrils creep around my neck so thin.
Foreign chills expanding deep within.
Unearthing knowledge never known to be.
Embracing death will follow presently.
