We Disconnect
we disconnect because the link is weak
and the burden on the shoulder
is too heavy,
we carry an emptiness
like a cape without rain
we disconnect only to find other links ready
we lose and we shy away from regret
the fingers weaken
and the mind gropes for more like hands
wanting to touch another soft body in the dark
we disconnect only to fuse again
this time more cautious
whom, what, when
and why

An Ode To No One
i'm never coming back
i'm never giving in
i'll never be the shine in your spit
i disconnect the act
i disconnect the dots
i disconnect the me in me
and you're mistaken, it's you that's faking
living and breathing and dying too
this message is for anyone who dares to hear a fool
you can't bring me back, you can't bring me back
cause i gave it all back to you
thru sacred alleys, the living wrecks
wreak their havoc upon this world
the disenchanted, the romantics,
the body and face and soul of you is gone down that deep black hole
destroy the mind-destroy the body-but you cannot destroy the heart
and you, you make me so i need to disconnect
and you make it so real
i don't need your love to disconnect
to runaround kids in get-go cars
with vaseline afterbirths and neon coughs
galaxies full of nobodies
giving us the farewell runarounds
i took a virgin mary axe to his sweet baby jane,
lost my innocence to a no good girl, scratch my face with anvil hands,
and coil my tongue around a bumblebee mouth
and i give it all back to you
no way, i don't need it, i don't need your love to disconnect
and you make it, so real, i don't need your love to disconnect
no way to disconnect
and you make it so real
i don't need your love to disconnect
no way to disconnect

Me! I Disconnect From You
The alarm rang for days
You could tell from conversations
I was waiting by the screen
I couldnt recognise my photograph
Me, I disconnect from you
I was walking up the stairs
Something moved in silence
I could feel his mind decaying
Only inches away from me
And I disconnect from you
Please dont turn me off
I dont know what Im doing outside
Me and the telephone that never rings
If you were me, what would you do?
Me, I disconnect from you

Whatever It May Be that Affects
What,
Ever it may be that affects...
You have it in yourself,
To disconnect it.
Whatever it may be that affects,
You have it in yourself...
To disconnect it.
Whatever it may be that affects.
Whatever it may be that affects.
A loneliness you wish to rid!
Whatever it may be that affects.
Emotions breeding to feed on fears!
Whatever it may be that affects.
Whatever it may be that affects.
Heartbreak that can not escape the aching.
Let it go!
Don't let it upset.
You gave to it now from you erase it!
Whatever it may be that affects,
You have it in yourself...
To disconnect it.
Whatever it may be that affects.
Whatever it may be that affects.
Let it go!
Don't let it upset.
Whatever it may be that affects.
Let it go!
Don't let it upset.
Whatever it may be that affects.
Let it go!
Don't let it upset.
Whatever it may be that affects.
Whatever it may be that affects.

Disconnect
Behind closed doors all you live for is taking
That double life of yours has left your whole world shaking
Who are you fooling? I know you hear the laughter
Dont you hear people talking? what is it that your after?
Turn off your conscience
Leave the world outside
Nothing at all can ever make you feel
That anythings so real so you just - disconnect
The key to save yourself if for nothing else
A tongue can never hold the truth of silence is golden
With a broken heart underneath all of the pain
Do you stroke the pretty scars? the hurt never ends
Turn off your conscience
Leave the world outside
Nothing at all can ever make you feel
That anythings so real so you just - disconnect
Solo - mustaine
Turn off your conscience
Leave the world outside
Nothing at all can ever make you feel
That anythings so real so you just - disconnect
Turn off your conscience
Leave the world outside
Nothing at all can ever make you feel
That anythings so real so you just - disconnect

The Outsider
Help me if you can,
It's just that this, is not the way I'm wired so,
Could you please,
Help me understand why,
Why you've given in to all these reckless dark desires you're,
Lying to yourself again,
Suicidal imbecile,
Think about it, put it on a faultline,
What'll it take to get it through to you precious,
I'm over this, why do you want to throw it away like this,
Such a mess, I don't wanna watch you.
Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet at a time,
What's your rush now,
Everyone will have his day to die.
Medicated, drama queen,
Picture perfect numb belligerence,
Narcissistic, drama queen,
Craving fame and all its decadence.
Lying through your teeth again,
Suicidal imbecile,
Think about it, put it on a faultline,
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
I'm over this, why do you want to throw it away like this,
Such a mess, I don't wanna watch you.
Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet at a time,
What's your rush now,
Everyone will have his day to die.
They were right about you, (repeat)
Lying to my face again,
Suicidal imbecile,
Think about it, you put on a faultline,
What'll it take to get it through to you precious,
I'm over this, why do you want to throw it away like this,
Such a mess,
Coalesce,
Coalesce.
Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet at a time,
What's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die,
If you choose to pull the trigger,
Should your drama prove sincere,
Do it somewhere, far away from here.

Cold Dark And Yesterday
The sun beats down so slow
I feel my body heating up inside
I watch the danger zone
For signs of life but not a soul alive
Try every trick I know
To keep my temperature from blowing sky high
Check on the time to go
Lay my spirit down to fantasize
Disembark disconnect possibilities unknown
On the edge of a heading for heavy weather
I suspect I can tell I can feel it in my bones
All not well but you never know...
Cold Dark and Yesterday
Glamorama all around me
Friendly natives turning back to brown
I keep my shades well down
They cannot penetrate what can't be found
Feel the fever start to rise
Slip away in indiscreet disguise
How can a man survive when the weak meet the soft
And the heat blinds your eyes
Left to right up and down it's picture postcard time
Hear the sounds save the image in my mind
Cold Dark and Yesterday

One of Us 'Eventually' Has to Grow Up
If you love me or if not!
If it's none or quite a lot.
Remember this...
My heart you've got.
And,
I'm not gon' leave you,
Alone.
That's how it is when I give.
'Cause I can not see you...
Or believe I could free you to be,
On your own alone.
Even if you disconnect your telephone!
Remember this...
My heart you've got.
If you love me or if not!
If it's none or quite a lot.
I can not see you...
Or believe I could free you to be,
On your own...
Alone.
Even if you disconnect your telephone!
'But dad,
Comeon.
I am in my 40's.
One of us 'eventually' has to grow up! '
~I know!
But 'why' do you want to do this?
And,
Overnight! ~
'Let go! '
~Nooo.~

Cuz You're Gone
You whispered in my mouth
And I spit you words right back
How good do you think I'll look
When the words start to break and crack
You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
'Cause you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad and I don't know how
No I don't know how
Cuz you're gone and you ain't coming back
Yeah you're gone and you ain't coming back
You held your hand so close
And I just can't push you away
I wished you could be my girl
But you're stuck in your a grown-up world
You beat your head upon your wall
You disconnect yourself from it all
Cause you know that you're so beautiful and so untouchable
And I want to get in so bad

Disconnect From the Hustle
Take moments at a time,
To experience complete relief.
Burdens shouldered on your back,
Should be considered as your duty...
To freely release and unstrap.
Manage the advantage,
Of a total needed rest.
Confessions of a selfishness...
Is not yours to manifest.
Or explorations of guilt,
Internalize to upset...
With self inflicted protests.
Take moments at a time,
To experience complete relief.
Burdens shouldered on your back,
Should be considered as your duty...
To freely release and unstrap.
Disconnect from the hustle.
Relax and enjoy that!
Disconnect from the hustle.
Feel deserving,
Not trapped.

The Aeroplane Flies High
Love is a sentimental heart
Life is a sentimental way
Spy the fragile heart so cursed
As he walks across this earth
I'm disconnected by your smile
Disconnect a million miles
And what you promised me
I hope will set you free
I'm disconnected by your smile
And all I gave to you is lost
And all you took from me is lost
Black wings carry me so high
Up to meet you in the sky
I'm disconnected by your smile
Disconnect a million miles
And what you promised me
I hope will set you free
I'm disconnected by your smile
Wishing you were real to me
Wishing i could make believe
I'll take my secrets to the grave
Safely held beneath the waves
Always knew I couldn't save
Always knew I couldn't save you

Corrupted by innocence
Where purity ends, corrosion begins.
Ask me tomorrow about my lack of sins.
Naivety only gets you so far, relying on your innocence leaves you broken and scarred.
Insistence of understanding, just stories from the past,
amount to nothing but a broken piece of a shaded window ready to further splinter and crack.
“Everyone feels this way at your age, or at some point.”
Leave me alone, I don’t want to hear it, go light a joint.
Entertain corruption, how many ways does the human body bend.
Don’t hold back, it’s time to become unattached.
Disconnect from emotion, there’s no such thing as sin.
Time to let lose inhibition and embrace the evil within.
Corrupted by innocence, welcomed by sin, time for the fun to begin.

Sweetheart
If I was to stand in a general election
Would you tell me about your close inspection
And how I never stood for detection
Or would you take another man?
If I told you I had the solution to starvation
All the nations would be their own salvation
And those that lead us lead us not into temptation
Or they pick another man?
Sweetheart
Its affecting me
Sweetheart
Its so effective
Sweetheart
Do you detect in me
A sacred sweetheart
If I told you about my plan would you believe me?
This is my body, my blood, would you receive me?
Or would you be the first to deceive me
And take another man
If I told you that Im not the man to worry
Would you believe me when I said I was really sorry?
Or would you rush off in a hurry to take another man?
Sweetheart
Disconnect from me
Sweetheart
You have got no respect for me
Sweetheart
Its affecting me
My sacred sweetheart
And when youre troubled and when youre ill
You know Ill help, I always will
And when youre troubled and really down
You know Ill always be around
And when youre troubled and really broke
There is hope, theres hope, theres hope
Sweetheart
Its affecting me
Sweetheart
Youve got no respect for me
Sweetheart
Its so effective
My sacred sweetheart
Sweetheart
Disconnect
Sweetheart
Its so effective
Sweetheart
Its affecting me
My sacred sweetheart
Sweetheart

An Impingement
it takes a little impingement
to ruin the whole of my life
you push a nerve and disconnect it
from the rest of my system
a hand does not complain but there is the pain somehow
the arm is weakened and stiffled
the whole body wonders what is this conflict all about
there is this sickness of the mind
there is this crippling of the soul
the pain generates more pain and then at the end
you wonder
what is happening and where is the culprit
no one is there
and you lift nothing to tell the finger that it is over

The Travels Of Farklavar
I took time to stop and smell the roses
But they didn't have a smell
Then I had and epic snowball fight
With the Denizens of hell
And as I went on my marry way
They sighed and wished me well
As I woke the very next morning
To a dying wedding belle
I stormed the gates of heaven
Found them impervious to rain
So I knocked on heavens door
St Peter answered
Asking for some change
With his halo in his hand
And his eyes utterly deranged
I reached into my pockets
And gave him everything that remained
From my hand he took all I had
And then his chest he crossed
As he ushered me through the pearly gates
Declaring all was lost
And as I stepped through the clouds
I was amazed by what I found
For there were no angels or a God
Anywhere around, in fact
The only thing that did remain
As holy evidence.
Was a tattered note
Pinned to the ground
That read
Sorry for the inconvenience
I took time to stop and smell the roses
But they didn't have a scent
And I always felt like I was trapped
No matter where I went
Weather as a free man
Or a prisoner of war
This world has stolen my innocence
And treated me like a whore
So I fought for every single inch
Of my very own self respect
And in order to do so
I had to entirely disconnect.
To let go and disconnect
Is frightening yet beautifully hard.
Letting go will free you.
But boy does it leave a scar
