In the twilight of a time
There emerges a need for man to comprehend his own bitter fate Finally resigned to the inevitable beyond, he searches the ages Desperate for stories of assurance, redemption and hope Such tales fill page upon page with enough ink To flood a thousand valleys, and drown the tallest tree But there is one tale that as yet been told The story of... The Outsider Desolate and baron, humanities at a crossroads The people have retreated shuttering their once carefree lives From unseen enemies which seem to plague not only The physical form but the innermost thought Driven by panic, compelled by dread The masses begin to devolve Once dear neighbours turn wary foes Brother against brother, sister against sister Achievement and ambition are dismissed As heretical, or worse, treasonous Even nature itself is scorned Choked with suspicion and fear, voices do not dare to sing Nor fingers to play, imminent defeat is all but assured But in the darkest hour Whispers begin to tell of a figure emerging from the darkness A being without a name, faceless and obscure Part presence, part idea they say As if the very force they describe has existed for eons A dormant seed awaiting nourishment word of radical acts... Disobedience, non-compliance spread among the people At first fearful, then defiant, as the legend grows Whispers turned to cries and the cries into screams And tend to cower no more the fury of the people Whose talent behold as they exact revenge on their captors Spare neither the repentant nor the bold Now the fire is lit, smouldering in the belly of humanity It cannot be extinguished, for the stories The Outsider endure Even as evidence of its presence is debated with the passing years Messages, dictations, warnings, stories, such as these... |

In the beginning, well, I didn?t know
As time passed on still didn?t know I didn?t know But this time, this time I?m gonna try it my way I?m gonna live life my way This time, this time I?m gonna try it my way I?m gonna live life my way Well, I didn?t know, just couldn?t see The memories of past failures Like a shadow haunting me But this time, this time I?m gonna try it my way I?m gonna try it my way Yeah this time, this time I?m gonna try it my way I?m gonna live life my way There was a dream I wanted to come true But dreams You know they need to be followed through That?s why this time, this time I?m gonna try it my way I?m gonna try it my way Yeah this time, Oh, this time I?m gonna try it my way I?m gonna live life my way |

I hear voices whisper tell me, "Banner kill yo'self"
Man I call on the Lord, pain doesn't easy from wealth These cars, these clothes, these hoes Never meant nothing, having nightmares screaming and busting At my enemy, I put a bullet in that nigga and I see it's me Is it my soul?, killing self hate Or does that nigga in me have to die before I reach them pearly gates Either way I got something to say Jam Master Jay used to yell walk this way But it's hard to walk like a man the industry's .. And these the same motherfuckers that's controlling my cash' And the same ones, the government, controlling your ass Why George bush ain't in jail for stealing them votes? Why the CIA ain't closed man, for pushing that dope? Get it cracking America, the CIA, aka the KKK It's judgement day! Seein', seein' thangs, I can swear that I'm seein' thangs Seein', seein' thangs, I can swear that I'm seein' thangs Seein', seein' thangs, I can swear that I'm seein' thangs They coming for your soul, they already got the chains… In a Chevy, I'm wondering if the Feds broke the levy Are they in with the devil to control the weather? Hurricanes and typhoons every other week While po' folks are drowning in the middle of the street We too scared to speak, or too busy on the internet I heard they about to put lo-jacks in our kids necks Marshall law, tell Bush now we ain't ready to flip The hood is like a modern slave ship We packed like sardines and shackled to the streets And crack is cotton that grows up from the concrete Shit, but I guess I'm seein' thangs We'd rather not learn, we'd rather fucking gang bang Seein', seein' thangs, I can swear that I'm seein' thangs Seein', seein' thangs, I can swear that I'm seein' thangs Seein', seein' thangs, I can swear that I'm seein' thangs They coming for your soul, they already got the chains… |

She told me I was taking her places she had never been before, but reall
She was taking me places I promised myself I'd never go to damn... Let me start at the beginning... Alright man I want all of you brothers to get rid of... And show .... sweet honey for your mouth Yeah yeah yeah one two Some say she was from Cali Some say the Carolinas Mom was a belly dancer Pop was a neverminder No drugs or alcohol No weed or marijuana You'd think that backstage was the last place you'd find her First time I saw her kinda reminded me of them chicks you see at Caribana Friendly and talkative and looking so marvellous... Dead nicotine filling like ..... in the city of godesses But I'm digressin', please pardon if I start trailing off Or fading out of my consciousness It's just that when I think... oh girl my whole world collapses I'm so enraptured in all overflow this She approached me with a smirk to say We can do work no matter what time or day of the week it is So thorough that backstage girl she'll fall to her knees just to prey on my weaknesses I mean I told her straight up, you know I got a significant other... she ain't care She said for tonight I just wanna be your insignificant other .... what? God damn... we left the club at around two Just enough time to meet my niggas for round two At another spot, DJ playing the sounds to Hopefully divert me from being a scoundrel In the spot making my rounds through The crowd trying to throw her off but she's on me like a bloodhound, you Wouldn't believe how hard I tried to fight it Passions and desires were closing in And that's what it amounts to I looked her in the eyes And said, "I don't even know your name It feels wrong even though I don't show it." She said, "I wish I could tell you the same But I won't tell you my name cause I want you to Fuck me like you don't know it." I responded with a smirk to let her know We could work no matter what time or day of the week it is So thorough that backstage girl fell down to her knees just to prey on my weaknesses But man can you fight it? Go ahead You'd think that backstage Would be the last place you'd find her You'd think the backstage Would be the last place you'd find her Been riding all around the world, seen so many faces But I'm always looking for love in all the wrong places Been all around the world, seen so many faces But I'm always looking for love in all the wrong places I woke up the next morning all tangled up in her hair and that's when I realized she had me right where she wanted me She told me I'd taken her places that she'd never been before But really she took me to a place I promised myself I'd never return to And I was fucked up And the thing was I didn't feel bad about what I'd done I just felt stupid for trying to fight it for so long I mean really, who I was fooling I knew what time it was soon as I saw her Soon as she smiled at a nigger I could tell what her favorite position was And I damn sure gave it to her I thought I had changed But niggas never change But it took that one night That one passionate night for me to realize what I needed to do I gotta stop fucking with these hos off of MySpace dog Some say she was from Cali, some say the Carolinas Mom was a belly dancer, pop' was a neverminder No drugs or alcohol no weed no marijuana You'd think that backstage was the last place you'd find her You'd think the backstage Would be the last place you'd find her Been all around the world Seen so many faces Was always looking for love in all the wrong places Been all around the world Seen so many faces Was always looking for love in all the wrong places Been all around the world Seen so many faces Well well well Was always looking for love in all the wrong places Oh yeah Been all around the world Seen so many faces Backstage girl Was always looking for love in all the wrong places |

She was buried for a long time, disappeared into the night
She had a voodoo smile and a devil inside So she's been down to the fog spitting words out like grenades They got devils inside that explode in your face You gotta be so careful, don't talk in your sleep You gotta be so careful, the souls see He was quiet for a long time, he never would sleep at night He knew every little shortcut, he did everything right Trying to be so careful, so he wouldn't speak Trying to be so careful to hide his disease (Under the blood red sky, under the blood red) (Under the blood red sky, under the blood red) Erase you (Under the blood red sky, under the blood red) (Under the blood red sky, under the blood red) Erase you (Under the blood red sky, under the blood red) (Under the blood red sky, under the blood red) Erase you (Under the blood red sky, under the blood red) (Under the blood red sky, under the blood red) Erase you (Under the blood red sky, under the blood red) (Under the blood red sky, under the blood red) A million serpants entering, ahh (Under the blood red sky, under the blood red) (Under the blood red sky, under the blood red) They've broken free 'cause it's feeding time (Under the blood red sky, under the blood red) (Under the blood red sky, under the blood red) And they're sharpening their teeth I can't hear the noise when it gets too much When it gets too much you can't hear the noise I can't hear the noise when it gets too much When it gets too much you can't hear the noise (Erase you) I can't hear the noise when it gets too much When it gets too much you can't hear the noise (Erase you) I can't hear the noise when it gets too much When it gets too much you can't hear the noise (Erase you) I can't hear the noise when it gets too much When it gets too much you can't hear the noise (Erase you) I can't hear the noise when it gets too much When it gets too much you can't hear the noise |

(feat. Christina Carter)
I speak from the heart I fear beginning I must go Broken and soaked To the wider world returning I'll never be sullen again Something is wrong I can't stop my thoughts I tell myself to stop them Stop, stop what you're doing I guess I'd better face it The thoughts are sabotaging me Even though they are mine It feels as if it is physical Like being in a different world Weirder As if somehow things just are Let's go ahead and get it over with Don't be afraid Can't you trust me We all have thoughts And we are together We are together I am your healing spirit I am your healing spirit I am your healing spirit Healing spirit There is a boy Standing in a meadow Looking out into the sky And hundreds (and hundreds) And hundreds (and hundreds) And hundreds of butterflies Lift off from around him (Lift off from around him) That's all I can remember (Lift off from around him...) Your mind Due (?) bright morning Dance with light Send stars to the night I am awake I have a dream I am living proof I am living proof What I have done What I have done What I have done First steps Through open fields |

( feat. Chris James - Guitar sample by Michael Collins )
Stay close The water is rising Silent cries The shadows surround us So we crawl out from under The water Out of darkness We're almost home, no sleep, don't girl Look around Don't stare into the light too long There's nothing here to see, nothing here to see, nothing here to see Frozen hands on the window Crying out in your sleep Look away now Look away now I never said that you were falling to pieces I know the thought that we would never get out of this Now the time that falls into the cracks There's nothing here to see, nothing here to see, they never will be So we crawl out from under The water I never said that you were falling to pieces I know the thought that we would never get out of this... And we crawl out from under The water Out of darkness |
