Marching On Words & Music: Thompson Awake again I... I must partake again In this world again... Mirrored faces in the strangest places..yea No one said “it would be easy...” Well it seems “No one” was right... I'm moving on.......I'm moving on..... I'm moving on.......I'm moving on..... And it just slips by so fast We don't know what we have Till...we look at the clock and the times all gone...

Roll the Dice Words & Music : Thompson Hello – Goodbye, I'm back from where I haven't been and it feels so good not to see you again... And I'm walkin' nowhere But I'm strolling somewhere Let's pick up this pace and loose ourselves again Farewell to all of my friends Splendid candid moments that never happened Watching reruns of the could of been's inside my head I'm sleeping on a empty bed.. Remembering I never knew you but there was still so much for us to do but we had no way to go through with it.... Break me apart & hold me open For the world to see... Splendid candid moments that never happened Watching reruns of the could of been's inside my head I'm sleeping on a empty bed.. It's so funny we never got to meet It was love dangled like a tasty treat Feeling things so bitter sweet I still get no sleep I guess I'll just go on my way & stop bothering your ghost... It's..... So... Surreal... Splendid candid moments that never happened Watching reruns of the could of been's inside my head I'm sleeping on a empty bed.. Spin with me on this merry-go round of life Fight with me when I'm not nice Take a chance, Let's roll the dice...

Broke Another String Words & Music : Thompson Pick your head up & walk away Don't bother with the bullshit the other people say Look in your own direction No need for this tabloid sensation Just another distraction to keep us off point I'm stuck on this joint Hit it, hit it, hit it with me yeahhhh It can be so unnerving – I'm yearning Regurgitated... If feel plate plate with processed foods I can't digest... I get no rest... My head it aches, Just like heart & I'm.. broke another string, Broke another dream... Fuck.

Sunday Morning* Words & Music : Thompson Sunday Morning, Waking in your bed again And it feels so unreal And if feels so unreal... Don't remember what we did. Don't remember what said.

Paint By #'s Words & Music : Thompson And I could create anything, If I just had the proper tools... And I could sing you any song, If I could just learn to move on... And I could be most anything, If I could just see whats in front of....me... And I could go most anywhere, If I could just pick myself up off this floor.. You go where you want to go... I looked but I didn't find Anything I had in mind... What - is my line? Where is my time? Wasting my prime on all this slime... Will I ever shine? I managed to waste all of my dimes And I guess I'll just commit more crimes... Keep practicing my lines Lets paint by numbers yeah Lets paint by numbers And I could create anything, If I just had the proper tools... And I could sing you any song, If I somehow I could learn to move on... Lets paint, lets paint by numbers Lets paint, lets paint by numbers...

Sunken Voices 02:07

Sunken Voices Words & Music: Thompson “Nothing New” is what they say When everything couldn't be newer “All out of time” is something You only say, when there's nothing but time left... Shadows cast Repel objects of light... No one said “Dreams are meant to be lived” I hear them... I hear them sing... With sunken voices... “I'm still here...” “I'm still here...” Arms stretched so wide they Encompass the world A world so cold It turned it's back and I laughed ….God knows I laughed... Arms stretched so wide they Encompass the world and voices so stark They cut through the silence and all we hear are Sunken voices...

Can't help myself 03:23

Can't Help Myself Words & Music : Thompson I never knew things would turn out this way And it seems everything I did Never seemed to come to a head And I'm just on my own In my own home I'm all alone Answer the phone No no don't want to... I had a friend He was so addicted to his sick He didn't know - what he had... He just gave up his days and he lied on his back... He did all of his dope straight through his nose He smoked all his weed and now he's got resin all over his important papers He can't go to the doctor and he's drunk all of the time With a gut full of beer & wine ohhh I can't help myself I... just can't help myself I get carried away & I am this friend and before I know it my brain's all goo... Who the hell are you? I didn't mean - to travel this far down this road But it seemed like the only place to go Once you've walked a mile in my shoes It seems the blood I bleed is blood blackened with the hashish oil I plant my bones in foreign soil I got to get my freedom Before my freedom gets taken away... Live my life like it's not my dying day and I'm going to do things my own way and I just want to get my own fix and I just gotta find a way to get my kicks... and I... just can't help myself and I... just can't help myself and I... just can't help myself Gonna live my life this way... Then one day the Judge came to me and he said “Son you're goin' away” said “You party way too much and your life is gonna not stay ...so free....so free....so free Boy all we want is your hard earned money.” Leave me dead & bloody in your alleyways This society that you made for me is breaking clay and I don't want a kiln to harden my soul I just want to live my life & grow old... But these addictions, These - soul hard afflictions Their taking my life & I have nowhere to go... Growing older everyday I live a year in 30 minutes, I don't see how I'll make it past another year.....

Wooooooohoooohhooooo Wendy Wooooooohoooohhooooo stay away from me...

She holds stars 02:26

She holds stars Words & Music: Thompson “...she holds stars...” I saw it once I didn't think it was quite possible and then it happened again It was when suspicion rose and out of the ashes new life blooms In the darkness things will loom and it just goes - to show... That times can be however good or bad They want them to be... But one thing - still bothers me... She said “yes” We said “no” This wasn't how it should go But then you said, I said, we said, “Let's get dead” And walk away... Let's walk away from it all... But we're too caught up, In this frivolous means to an end... That isn't even there... And our futures just suspended in mid air...

Lackin' Satisfaction Words & Music : Thompson And....it starts again... I flip though... All the places that I have been in my head I'm stuck in bed I can't seem to go nowhere Can't seem to do a goddamn thing... Without life breathing down on me I yearn to be... So free... I can't the help the way I react... Never meant to hurt anyone... Guess I really didn't care if I did & I did... Set a course of change... Feel the blood pumping through my veins I can't help what was done I can't change who I've been I can just move on... And maybe if I'm so lucky I'll be here - till the end... We'll just be... Better than we've been... I never meant to betray... It just happened that way We get caught up in a silly self centered world of self distractions I'm lackin' satisfaction...

Don't boof the Beeville Water! Words & Music: Thompson Don't boof the Beeville water uh oh oh oh Boof the Beeville water? Don't boof the Beeville water uh oh oh oh “Don't boof it” I said. I remember we were all hanging out and she said “boy I can't get it out” I said “ I have an idea...” Grab a bottle of Dasani Or a bottle of some Perrier Well girl just do things my way Don't boof that Beeville water... If you do, girl you'll get an infection... And it can have some serious consequences on my erection so don't... Don't boof the Beeville water uh oh oh oh Boof the Beeville water? Don't boof the Beeville water uh oh oh oh Don't boof it, I know... And then there came a time She had held up that line She said “I'm too backed up for this crap” She grabbed that garden hose She plugged it on up to her nose and let that water blast so deep in that ass... and I said... “Don't boof the Beeville water uh oh oh oh Boof the Beeville water? Don't boof the Beeville water uh oh oh oh Boof the Beeville water? Don't do it, I know... Don't do it, I know... Please no! Please no!

Echoes in the Dark Word & Music: Thompson These echoes...these echoes...these echoes...these echoes They're calling me... They're talking to me... They're calling me... They sound like me... They know me... They're calling me... They're talking to me These echoes... They're taking me... Away from me... Sending me – back at me... These echoes...these echoes...these echoes...these echoes These echoes...these echoes...these echoes...these echoes They're calling me... They're talking to me... They sound like me.. They're calling me... These echoes...these echoes...these echoes...these echoes They're calling me... They're talking to me... They're calling me... They're talking to me... They're telling me, What I should be, They're telling me, Keep away from me, These echoes...these echoes...these echoes...these echoes These echoes...these echoes...these echoes...these echoes They're talking to me... They're calling me... They're talking to me... They want me... These echoes...these echoes...these echoes... ----------HIDDEN BACKGROUND ECHO VOICE---------- Stand tall – Be proud Not too proud... Look around - Remember ...It's that time to forget Where you are – who you were... Where we go – it's all a blur... I don't know...what this is... I can't ask – for forgiveness... No more time – no more rhymes Slipping by a hollowed eye... Dressed in a guise... I am lost inside... Fractal - light – piercing my eyes... The seconds tick by As my mind slips by.. The ages – the sages – they were all wrong One more chance - to remember - not to forget To remember - to forget... I'm sick of this shit... One more chance, One more time, Another lie – another try... Attempt at failure again... Success a shadow of a man... The sand slips by...

about

Echoes in the dark is a tale of emotion & id, as such, there are reasons the songs appear in this order. Much like the emotional roller coaster that is life, so is this album an emotional journey filled with ups & downs,
in-betweens, and moments where all the seriousness gets to be too much and you have no choice but to step back & laugh before trudging back to the beaten path...
