lyrics

Another long walk from the bone yard
Another hard drop from the sky
One more run to a life fight
Not one good reason why

One more shift with the dirt bags
Whose worst traits imply they're kin
One more cheating teaser
I don't know if I get to win

I'm doing nothing here that doesn't make me spit fear
At least we get it over quick
One more decade of bullshit
That has to be the deity's nick

What's wrong with me
I'm going nowhere at increasing speed
Can't trash my ration of identity
Or tame this lame hyperbole

Excess hurts

What's wrong might be
You have to feel that you are free to leave
You found a pathway to eternity
But it's hard so why not cheat?

Excess works

Some start starving for love at birth
Some are born over the hill
Some get fat without eating
Sperm worm gives you your fill

Folks who find heaven can really raise hell
In sacred sites and in bars
Your alien ways tell you life is a play
And that Jesus came from Mars

The things I'm taking don't weigh much
The rest I'll have to leave behind
A kid who makes a kid, another average man
That has to be The Bullshit's plan

What's wrong, I see,
Is that you only want more songs from me
If I could manage to set you free
You'd rather watch it on TV

Excess hurts

What's wrong with me
Is that I'd rather feed you songs like these
Instead of trying to set you free
With indifferent expertise

Excess works

Another long walk from the back yard
Another hard stop from a cry
One more run to a life fright
Don't need one reason why

I'm buying nothing here that doesn't make me sell fear
Can't afford this priceless plan
If your final wish is seeing gardens blossom again
Your life ain't been worth a damn

What's wrong, I plead
Is that you're staying too long with me
Still hoping for guarantees
You think you're strong because you bleed

Excess hurts

What's wrong, I scream,
Is that I'd rather hide from thoughts like these
Instead of stopping at serenity
You need to see it's just a tease

Excess works

about

H. C. Turk

Space pirates steal skinny gals. Ideas are greater monsters than the demons they explain. I'd bare my soul, but don't want to bore.

These Mystiphysical treasures can be found in my work, brainy music to make you think about feeling fantastic. In a sonic world where art is the ultimate animal, music evolution never ends, rising from the depths of the psyche to sing across a new sky.
