Red Mosquito

The thread where we post the lyrics.

Who Ever Said

Drowning in their dissertations
Random speakers in my mind
Yeah, they never stop their fortifications
And blocking my precious time
You used to let it go and let it float away
You don’t get to speak with twice as much to say

It’s all in the delivery
Said the messenger who is now dead
Was all on the periphery
I didn’t see him but I heard what he said

Aw sideways talk poisoning our thoughts
Everyone walks and it’s no one’s fault

Whoever said it’s all been said
Gave up on satisfaction

Home is where the broken heart is
Home is where every scar is

Blinking stars, beneath you roam
Room to tomb and cradle to grave
All the answers will be found
In the mistakes that we have made

One bad ear and one eye blind
It takes a village but don’t take mine
Living forward in a backwards town
I feed ‘em drinks just to watch ‘em drown

Swallow my pencil and bleed out my pen
Surrender the wish we’ll be together again
But I won’t give up
No I won’t give up on satisfaction.. satisfaction

Pull myself aside on a sleepless night
Sadness blurs, I’m in need of a light
Out of balance, balance, balance this time
I’m feeling fading calling as I’m falling out of sight

As the silence gets louder my heart gets pounding
And ventricles pumping, working overtime
Our freedoms fraught with danger being circumscribed
A life cut short and circumcised
A rubble of commandments from the road, step aside
A rumble of commandments in the road, step aside

Whoever said it’s all been said
Gave up on satisfaction

Aren’t these already posted in each song’s thread?

Superblood Wolfmoon

Superblood Wolfmoon, took her away too soon
Superblood Wolfmoon, took her away too soon

I can hear you, sing in the distance
I can see you when I close my eyes

Once you were somewhere, and now you're everywhere
I'm feeling selfish and I want what's right

I ask for forgiveness, I beggar myself
feeling angry, now get off the stage

Right now I feel, a lack of innocence searching for reveal
hypnotonic resonance I feel
not much of anything, and the cause is life or death

A life of hopelessness, fucks all your focusedness
I've been hoping that a hope dies last
I don't know anything, I question everything
This life I love is going way too fast

Both my eyes are swollen
my face is broken
And I'm hopin that I hurt your
hopin that I hurt your
hopin that I hurt your fist

She was a stunner, and I am stunned
And the first thought or second thought was 'could be the one'
I was a prisoner, of keys and of cuffs
Yeah I was feeling fortunate to be locked up

But the world got to spinnin, always felt like it was ending
and love not withstanding we are each of us fucked

I'm in danger, feelin the distance
I can see you when I close my eyes
Once you were somewhere, and now you're everywhere
I'm feeling selfish and I want what's right

I ask for forgiveness, I beggar myself
feelin angry now get off the stage

Superblood Wolfmoon, took her away too soon
Superblood Wolfmoon, took her away too soon
Superblood Wolfmoon, took her away too soon

I can hear you, sing in the distance
I can see you when I close my eyes
Once you were somewhere, and now you're everywhere
I'm feeling selfish and I want what's right

Focus on your focusness, to a life of hopeless’s
I've been hoping and I hope that lasts
I don't know anything, I question everything

This life I love is going way too fast

Dance Of The Clairvoyants

Confusion is to commotion
What love is to our devotion
Imperceptibly big, big as the ocean
And equally hard to control

So save your predictions and burn your assumptions
Love is friction, ripe for comfort
Endless equations and tugging persuasions
Doors open up to interpretation

Expecting perfection leaves a lot to ignore
When the past is the present and the future's no more
When every tomorrow is the same as before

The looser things get, the tighter you become
The looser things get, the tighter
Not one man can be greater than the sum
It's not a negative thought, or positive
Positive, positive
Falling down, not staying down
Coulda held me up, rather than tear me down
Drown in the river

Expecting perfection leaves a lot to endure
When the past is the present and the future's no more
When every tomorrow is the same as before

Numbers keep falling off the calendar's floor
We're stuck in our boxes, window's open no more
Collecting up the forget-me-nots, not recalling what they're for
I'm in love with clairvoyants 'cause they're out of this world

I know the girls wanna dance
Away their circumstance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things
I know the girls wanna dance
Clairvoyants in a trance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things

Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back

Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back

Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back

I know the girls wanna dance
Away their circumstance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things
I know the girls wanna dance
Clairvoyants in a trance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things
Their dicks and fix and fire things

Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes

Quick Escape

Reconnaissance on the corner
In the old world not so far
First we took an airplane
Then a boat to Zanzibar

Queen cranking on the blaster
And Mercury did rise
Come along where we all belonged
You were yours and I was mine

Had to quick escape
Had to quick escape

Crossed the border to Morocco
Kashmir then Marrakesh
The lengths we had to go to then
To find a place Trump hadn’t fucked up yet

Living life on the back porch
Lifting rocks to make a wage
Every sunset paid attention to
Not a starry night went to waste

Had to quick escape
Had to quick escape

And here we are, the red planet
Craters across the skyline
A sleep sack in a bivouac
And a Kerouac sense of time

And we think about the old days
Of green grass, sky and red wine
Shouldn’t known so fragile
And avoided this one-way flight

Alright

You can’t hide the lies
In the rings of a tree
If your heart still beats free
Keep it for yourself

When you want to run
And leave some part unrevealed
Like the flight of the bee
Keep it for yourself

It’s alright to be alone
To listen for a heartbeat
It’s your own
It’s alright to quiet up
To disappear in thin air
It’s your own

Should your living truth die
Could be an acid trip
Leave the eucharist whole
Keep it for yourself

If you tire of the game
Hit the road towards the clouds
Find the groove in the sound
Keep it for yourself

It’s alright to say no
Be a disappointment in your own home
It’s alright to turn it off
Ignore the rules of the state
It’s your own

It’s alright to shut it down
Disappear in thin air
It’s your home
It’s alright to be alone
To listen for a heartbeat
It’s your own

You can't hide your eyes

Never Destination

Blisters on my fingers, blisters on my brain
Blisters on my voices, crazy makes him sane
An angry sea, an ocean in my eyes
The waves are rolling, I’m becoming blind

I won’t be taken, won’t take myself
Kicking and screaming, have to knock me off the shelf
Feels like illusion, is this taking place
Disease and confusion, stripped off ---- place
Don’t want to leave it, these endless miles
Never destination, just more denial
More denial

Some resolution, some distance tied
To this collusion, hiding in plain sight
So see you later, never say goodbye
This little trick I play on my own mind

I’m a recluse in search of new friends
How they gonna find me back where the road ends
Off on the distance ….
"50 foot and breaking on my innocence"
Don’t want to leave it, these endless miles
Never destination, just more denial
More denial

I can’t believe it, these endless lies
Never destination, just more denial
More denial

When you make the drop, the gaping maw
When you make the drop, the gaping maw
Makes us alive ,should we survive
When you make the drop, the gaping maw
Keeps us alive, survive
When you make the drop, the gaping maw

Thank you Mudhoney
Thanks …..
…., this place let me go
Off on the distance ….
50 foot and breaking ……
I won’t be taken, won’t take myself
Kicking and screaming, have to knock me off the shelf

So see you later
Never say goodbye
This little trick I play on my own end
Don’t want leave it, these endless miles
Never destination, just more denial

She was in a singer in a rock and roll band
Had command of all her voices
Turned herself into a hologram
It all came down to choices
So I say to them, never say goodbye
A little trick I play on my mind

Take The Long Way

You got me through these feelings
That separate me from you
I put myself through a beating
Need you to pull me through

I’ll break through these feelings
I’ll break through the ceiling

I always take the long way, the long way
I always take the long way
That leads me back to you
I always take the long way, the long way
I always take the long way
That leads me back to you

Now’s the time to resurface
Take back me and you
The hammer will fall on purpose
Our time, our truth

I’ll break through these feelings
I’ll break through the ceiling

I always take the long way, the long way
I always take the long way
That leads me back to you
I always take the long way, the long way
I always take the long way
That leads me back to you

Plant a seed in your mind
What’s yours is mine
Show me how to live divine
What’s yours is mine
Back to a moment in your mind
Go back in time
Show me how to live divine
What’s yours is mine

Buckle Up

I got blood
Blood on my hands
The stain of, of a human

I finally awoke
To my mother’s wrath
Call lights
Bed sores and sponge baths

Firstly do no harm
Then put your seatbelt on
Buckle up

The drapes pull back
Reveal her wound
Her boy on her lap
A murderer groomed

Antiquities lost
Lost to the Nile
A sudden slip
A fall on the tile

Firstly do no harm
Then put your seatbelt on
Buckle up

Comes Then Goes

High or low, where’d you go
Are you stuck in the middle
A spectral invisible ghost
I’m here juxtaposed
Like images of angels in the snow
Our courage melts away, it comes then goes

Where you been, can I find
A glimpse of my friend
Don’t know where or when one of us left
The other behind
Divisions came and troubles multiplied
Incisions made by scalpel blades of time

Comes then goes
Comes then goes

Can I say, how ya been?
I can guess and conjecture
My altered perceptions unclear
Please interfere
Sadness comes with it a sea of tears
Would some love be best had it not appeared?

Is this you? Here I stand
Intense recollections of pain
Self-neglecting again
Like you I keep it in
Thought you found a game where you could win
It’s all vivisection in the end

Comes and goes
Comes and goes
Comes and goes

High or low, try again
She fell off the altar
A vision you caught her but then
A woodcut in red
I wish it was not you that she had led
Selfish navigation with no end

Where’d ya sleep
Can I find a deeper connection
In the face of rejection
I’m trying
I’m trying
Evidence in the echoes of your mind
Leads to me to believe we missed the signs

Can I try one last time?
Could all use a savior from human behavior sometimes
And the kids are alright
The Queen of Collections took your time
Sadness comes ‘cause some of it was mine

Comes then goes
Comes then goes
Comes and goes
Comes and goes

Retrograde

Comes the summer rain
Cue the lighting and far off thunder again
Projecting through the clouds
Meditations lifting out in the sound
The more mistakes the more resolve
It’s gonna take much more than ordinary love
To lift this up

Stars align they say when things are better then right now
Feel the retrograde spin us round round round
Seven seas are raising forever future’s fading out
Feel the retrograde all around round round

Accelerate the change
Feeling equal opposite all the same
Momentum rearranged
Shout the echo, turning back but now changed
The rusted shapes refuse to fall
It’s gonna take much more than ordinary love
To lift this up

Stars align they say when times are better than right now
Feel the retrograde spin us round round round
Seven seas are raising forever future’s fading out
Feel the retrograde all around round round

Hear the sounds in the distance now
Could be thunder or a crowd

Feel the sound (feel the sound)

River Cross

Always thought I’d cross that river
The other side distant now
As I got close it turned and widened
Arising now, fading out

Drifting in the undertow
Can’t spot a figure on dry land
And afterthoughts of safety
When in truth, none to be had
None to be had

I used to tell time by my shadow
‘til the thunder clouds, they took the stage
These days will end, as do the light’s rays
Another read of the same page

Wide awake through this deepest night
Still waiting on the sun
As the hours seem to multiple
Find a star to solider on

Living beneath a lion’s paw
Knowing nothing can be tamed
Can be tamed

I want this dream to last forever
A wish denied to lengthen our time
I wish this moment was never ending
Let it be a lie that all future’s die

While the government thrives on discontent
And there’s no such thing as clear
Proselytizing and profiting
As our will all but just disappears
Folded over, forced in a choke hold
Outnumbered and held down

And all these talk of rapture
Look around at the promise now
Here and now
Here and now
Can’t hold me down
Can’t hold me down
Won’t hold us down
Won’t hold us down

Live it out
Let it out
Get it out
Shout it out
Won’t hold us down
Won’t hold us down

Share the light
Won’t hold us down…
