Old man lying in bed and he's so scared He's rotting from the inside out and he's so full of fear at least he wont care anymore oh Young lady had a baby to define her and she's so scared Baby died while it was inside her it was her worst fear now she don't seem to care no

I sit alone and wonder why I sit alone and bide my time I sit and I watch the stars align I sit and drink and wonder why Alone in my mind Yeah, I am alone in my mind I am alone in my mind I sat alone and watched the sky This one time I swear I saw a little light I sat and I watched it as it fly But I just can't see with all these eyes Alone in my mind Yeah, I am alone in my mind I am alone in my mind Alone in my mind

Logged in, logged on, basked in the glow Mouth open wide like I'm catching snow Take another bite, get me to the core Every open window is an open door 001010110 is the number on my screen 001010110 it's the ghost in the machine It's the ghost in the machine I'm looking for a signal amid the noise I'm looking for an answer not just another choice Where is my mind when I hit the switch? What is my mind but just another glitch? 001010110 is the number on my screen 001010110 it's the ghost in the machine It's the ghost in the machine

My brain's got a big leak, baby Rainbow shattered memories They empty into the street People walk by to see me bleed out the technicolor dream Oh, my technicolor dream Oh my love, where have you been? It's been so long since I belonged Oh my love, where have you been? It's been so long since I belonged There's nothing wrong Just tryin to have a little fun I ain't tryin to hurt no one I was born to chase the sun Ain't right the way you treat me, baby But your lovin feels so sweet Then you pull back entirely So many many people, but I'm so lonely I'm so lonely girl I am lonely girl Oh my love, where have you been? It's been so long since I belonged Oh my love, where have you been? It's been so long since I belonged There's nothing wrong Just tryin to have a little fun I ain't tryin to hurt no one I was born to chase the sun There's nothing wrong Just tryin to have a little fun I ain't tryin to hurt no one I was born to chase the sun

If you saw my love on the street Velvet eyes that glow blue and green Her lips say no but there's an afterglow And there's a rose on her thigh And she said If it's all the same to you There's nothing more, nothing less to do If it's all the same to you She said let's get high tonight Let's get high If you watch this girl as she sings She's got a long brown coat and the disco rings Her thoughts say no but she can't let go And there's a rose in the sky And she said If it's all the same to you There's nothing more, nothing less to do If it's all the same to you She said let's get high tonight Let's get high

She submits as she dominates She gets out of her head As she talks to the ceiling You can hear what she said She said, "That's the difference between us That's the difference between us That's the difference between us You see, that's the difference between us" She says, "I like your theory But it won't pass no test Watching the watchers Getting shot in the chest That's the difference between us That's the difference between us That's the difference between us That's the difference between us" She says, "You think there's some system That controls and affects You see, I believe in nothing And you're convinced of the hex I believe in nothing And you're convinced of the hex That's the difference between us That's the difference between us That's the difference between us You see, that's the difference between us"

Noble Maggot 02:54
I was talking with an old man Just the other day He said that reproduction Is the only thing that matters anyway I guess maybe he's right He's been here for a long time And I guess it makes him seem wise and all But it makes my life seem so small The flies always leave your bones The flies always leave your bones The flies always leave your bones They only eat your skin The world will always go Round and round again Babies will always grow But the flies always leave your bones The flies always leave your bones The flies always leave your bones The flies always leave your bones They only eat your skin

I never said a word As the lights blinked back and forth The megaphone declared "Climb Aboard" I never made a sound As the lights turned upside down The airplanes in my head And it's far too late for me now So up through the clouds A million miles up off the ground Ooh, I can't look down I hear them even now They talk with pictures made of sound But most of all the eyes So black and so round
10.
They say I'm wasting my time That what I do's not worth a dime Well I intend To be this until the day I die They treat me like I'm blind I missed some sort of warning sign But what I have seen and I have felt is more than they will in their entire lives Pass the judging eyes Complete with wicked smiles Just cause I ask why They gotta treat me like a child Don't put your fear on me Just cause you gave up on life Go whisper in your rooms go push your brooms and watch me fly high

about

Violet Intent Boston, Massachusetts

Violet Intent began as a solo recording project by Bobby Mcdonald, something to catch songs and artistic ideas after his band the Light Machine broke up. Since then it has slowly evolved from a introverted experimental home project into an extroverted wall of rock n roll. Ya dig?
