There's an elephant in the room And it's about to bust through the walls The joists are buckling from the weight As we get another early morning call We ignore it the best we can But it's eating us out of house and home Is it suffocating in here Or is there only room for one Two opposing forces Orbiting a nucleus Reactions and emotions A lot like fallout Duck and cover Duck and cover Every one of us Drink yourselves into oblivion All hours of the night The honeymoon is over Just pack your bags and go You never loved me at all You never loved or respected me no You never loved me at all You never loved or respected me no You never loved me at all You never loved or respected me no no

Look Out! 04:00
Voracious appetite Never never never satisfied Out of the corner of your eye Always on the look for something A most mysterious beast Pretending to be happy A Himalayan Yeti Dirty, stinking and sweaty Oh no don't look now But we've done fallen off the radar now Fallen off the radar now Oh my God we've fallen of the radar Oh no don't look now But we've done fallen off the radar now Fallen off the radar now Oh my God we've fallen of the radar Temporary embrace Vanish like ghost in space The next big thing's erased The next big thing's replaced Oh no don't look now But we've done fallen off the radar now Fallen off the radar now Oh my God we've fallen of the radar Oh no don't look now But we've done fallen off the radar now Fallen off the radar now Oh my God we've fallen of the radar

Pot of Gold 05:02
That pointed finger Is on backwards We never made you shoot Yourself in the foot The bullets are used But still needed to prove Inevitably It's a conspiracy And everyone is so wrong Wrong Wrong Oh how you have become A bear in a cave And though Spring has sprung You still hibernate But it only goes to show Your pot of gold is coal It's fantastik bombastik You make my nervous twitch I think I'm gonna be sick Analyze paralyze Hits right between the eyes Let's hear another alibi You've made quite sure That all your traps are set To bring you down 'Cause you're in love with regret But it only goes to show You're pot of gold is coal Yeah, it finally breaches Sucking like leeches From the depths of your mind Yeah, it finally breaches Sucking like leeches At what was once sublime

This vile and sickly pony Brings with it disease To gaze upon its pallor Renders me besieged And I I call to the angels Grant me three wishes I yearn to be free Wrought with poisonous spit Eating through the veins The snake has only once bit Though paralyzed my brain I I was caught up in numbers So hard to see What was right in front of me Trying to catch Shadow rubs finger tips raw There's so much Distraction Whipping tornadoes Where's my mantra I am adrift in a sea of tranquility I am floating in a sea of serendipity I am drowning in a sea of such stark beauty I am sinking in a sea of serenity I am adrift in a sea of tranquility They can make it so Difficult to remember how Namaste Amen Shalom Bismillah Om

If you call this is living I'd rather be dead Slowly shadows creep Inside my head When I've finally held Perfection I'll keep searching for Something better than Can you remember moments Out of time and out of focus I've tried so hard to escape What I've found I now can embrace Cautious is the work We do to survive This is how we shape The course of our lives Burn the flame And rid these fleshly desires Amplify the angels In the choir This is not a book of fiction Not a ghostly apparition Forgive my faults forgive my behavior As I rest with our ancestors Don't you forget my story We have power we have glory If you call this living I'd rather be dead

Open heart surgery You know that misery loves company You're not old enough for me No patience and no energy I know everyone is trapped by their reasons But I am a fire while you stand there freezing A surprising discovery The trajectory of this tragedy If star-crossed lovers couldn't see How in the world could we I know everyone is trapped by their reasons But I am a fire while you stand there freezing yeah, you're giving me your silent treatment Yeah, you're giving me your silent treatment, yeah You've been somewhere else I find it hard to believe myself You've been somewhere else I find it hard to believe myself The chill in the air Is all that is left of The one that I love The one that I count on 'Cause you're giving me your silent treatment Yeah, you're giving me your silent treatment Oh, yeah you're giving me your silent treatment Oh, yeah you're giving me your silent treatment What up is now down And you're so bent upon your self destruction You pushed the buttons Untethered the ropes That we so carefully held on You stayed too long Staring at the center of the sun Hoping to see God 'Cause you couldn't find it Now in any one

Face Down 04:59
I have lost all sense of decency I am wringing out my dignity When the saints come marching in I'll see How much faith I have inside of me "Cause last night the angels sang A sick and ugly song I prayed to God that it surely won't take long And now I can't tell land from the ocean Oh my goodness Look how much you've grown More than the ignorance They have shown Now this hell's become a super dome Stench of death And fear of the unknown Constantly Incessantly The pathetic rhetoric Points the finger but barely raises a hand Where is the man who can do all that he can Oh Katrina you've overstayed your welcome Katrina you've overstayed your welcome I vote static Not for dynamic And I am feeling just a little sick I am questioning my politics Oh my god, I die a heretic Oh Katrina you've overstayed your welcome Katrina you've overstayed your welcome You'll find me knelt down in the mud You'll find me face down in the flood

about

Jason Waterfall Portland, Oregon

Art is a way to see the world and interpret it in a language that cannot be expressed through other, mundane means. There is some hope that the creation resonates with others and enhances their experience somehow, be it a positive, powerful message or a different perception of the nuances of daily life. ... more
