"Nag Champa"
Author: Sean Ketchum
Comments: A song inspired by the coolest incents ever. |
The ember glows and the groove grows strong.
Aroma sparks a long hidden song.
Tapped the lock, found the voice inside,
Euphoric bands cross my mind.
CHORUS:
Its everything that I wanted to,
Everything that it means to you.
It doesnt matter as long as its allright.
A new world my eyes do see
No, this is not about weed.
Just a capture of a simple mind.
VERSE II:
My guitar breathes inside.
Has a voice and mind but no eyes.
The common world it does not see,
For that it relies on me.
CHORUS
VERSE III:
Waves of inspiration fall on me,
To carry my soul back to the sea.
Pen to paper my anima flows,
To myself I am shown.
CHORUS

 "Epitome Salvation"
Author: Sean Ketchum
Comments: A continued dedication to Loryn.
|
VERSE I:
Sometimes I think I'm insane
When everthing is going my way.
Like when I'm embraced in her arms.
The universe is in her simle
And time stops for awhile
Makes distant things not seem so far.
CHORUS:
Saving salvation
What does, she see in a bum like me.
She's allways in my head
Euphorically.
Verse II:
Since I met her light's more keen
And I can stand most human beings.
Because the dont matter much to me.
My tangled mind is more relaxed
She makes up for what I lack.
And makes it easier for me to be.
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Oh what a difference in me.
Oh what a difference in me.
Oh what a difference in me.
With her is all I want to be.
CHORUS

"Wasting My Life Away"
Author: Joel Pinto
Comments: A song about being a slacker. |
VERSE I:
So here I am wasting my life away.
Dont give a damn. Ill be a slacker til the end of days.
Id thank you maam, but for that service I dont pay.
Are you like me? All I need is ye or nay.
CHORUS:
Wasting my life away.
Will I be here another day?
All the excuses. A case of abuses.
Guess I like it better this way.
VERSE II:
Late again, but what can I say?
I try so hard, but only move an inch each day.
Seems like a mile, but it doesnt matter anyway.
Im just a slacker. What else do I have to say?
CHORUS
BRIDGE I (2x):
Look at me. Look at me.
Look at me. Look at me.
Look at me. Tell me.
Tell me this. Im telling the.
Yell at me. Scream at me.
Scream at me. Yell at me.
Just blare it at me.
What you sees reality.
BRIDGE II:
Trying so hard; not getting very far.
Perhaps I shouldnt be reaching for the stars.
Theyre too far away, but here I will stay.
Its time to procrastinate.
CHORUS (3x)

"Out of it"
Author: Sean Ketchum
Comments: Just about feeling disconnected from everything |
VERSE I:
I sit alone inside myself
Waiting to be led out
Of this conscious surreality
I hide in sight of dire cause
And find my mind perpetually lost
My tattered soul begins to bleed
CHORUS:
I know I'm out of my mind
Just something to pass the time
To myself I remind
Eclipsed suns still do shine
VERSE II:
My mind wanders into space
Avoids problems that I face
Commits to stagnate idly
The scenery quietly passes by
But stays the same, and I try
To close my eyes so I cant see.
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I'm falling away
For my mind can't focus on the day
Reality hits me in waves
So I live in a world that I created.

"Gain to Loose"
Author: Sean Ketchum
Comments: An acoustic song about breakup. |
VERSE I:
Its hard to believe
Just a week ago
My expedious life
Was moving slow
The tidal link
Root of elation
My detuned chi
Broke syndication
Of faltered love
With hidden clues
Another thing I gain to loose
CHORUS:
So why am I still here
Trying hard to hide the tears
Another day, I fear
I will be here again
VERSE II:
So here I am
My heart is torn
As many crowd
Around to mourn
The rueful man
That was once me
It is myself I want to leave
A void of sorrow
Is where I choose
Another thing
I gain to loose
CHORUS
BRIDGE / ENDING:
So here I am
So here I am
So here I am
Dont want to loose love again

"Mobius Thoughts"
Author: Sean Ketchum
Comments: Our political song. |
INTRO:
Affinity is falling in
Affinity is falling in
It is the end where it begins
A swim away with broken fins
Shadows are passing far within
Return to where I once have been
INTRO II:
In tha aura of mind
Basks the thoughts I cant find
That tell me where I am
Because I don't give a damn
About all the shit that goes on
Where I reside
VERSE I:
Tethered to fate, where aversion meets
An elated guise, the face discrete
Whole lives are empty from what it seems
Is an inane passion for that which gleams
To augment greed for fame and power
Of which will fade, all ephemeral flowers
Sever the ties to why we exist
Refuting ourselves by being like this
CHORUS:
Heaven arise from wanton thought
Take heed to the magic, your life is bought
The tale of the envy is ephocs less
One side our dimention, a mobius
VERSE II:
One thought from many, a collective voice
Tapped into a mainframe of disbanded choice
A breath of solution is frozen still
Mind-games and illusions to break your will
Discourse for the future, with mind for good
Of what is concieved, not what we should
In mists of ill-vision, the thoughtless see
Ideas of a blurred world to add to their creed
CHORUS

"Strange Ducks"
Author: Joel Pinto
Comments: Strange song....strange title...strange ducks |
VERSE I:
Here I am on the road again,
Looking for the answers.
What will I find on this road my friend,
When Im looking for the answers?
CHORUS:
What is it that Ill find?
And will it blow my mind?
Is it an illusion of time?
Or perhaps a fusion of rhyme?
What will I find?
Oooh!
Aaah!
Eeeh!
Im looking for the truth. (Oooh!)
What is the meaning of it all? (Aaah!)
Will it help me rise? (Eeeh!)
Or will it be my downfall?
VERSE II:
Here I am in the search of things,
Looking at the numbers.
What is it thats important?
The quality or the numbers?
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Im searching but I just cant see.
Are the answers right in front of me?
What could it possibly be?
When theres innumerable possibilities.
The numbers reach infinity.
The letters go all the way to Z.
To see..for me...would be...inhumanity

"This and All"
Author: Sean Ketchum
Comments: Another continued dedication to Samantha (*). |
VERSE I:
Unforgiven, on a island where illusion never sleeps
A tangled web of distant dreams has washed up by my feet
Vacillation through realities to keep my mind delayed
Mediocrity seems nice but Im too lazy to change
[P.C.] I never thought it would ever be the same
CHORUS:
And I will lace the sorrow
And I will take the pain
But its nice to know that I dont have to
Because I know that you are there for me
VERSE II:
Its half past seven, and another evening has crept up on me
Transcending what is arduous, the laziness my creed
The conscious thought is unaware of apathetic dreams
You let me know its all ok, its better than it seems
Befalling earth slides slowly still, a function of the mind
And idioms of what I feel were never yet devised
But this, and all for what its worth, the aria is yours
The zenith of my admiration, I adore
CHORUS: (x2)
|
"Time Again"
Author: Sean Ketchum
Comments: Breakup...it sucks, but it makes good music |
VERSE I:
A life recovering, a time I hate
Her love is welcome to levitate
A grounded spirit, a buried cry
The lapse of reason that clouds my eyes
And once again my mind is hers
And logic fails when emmotion stirs
And though I'm lonely I know her creed
The fleeting rapture is fine with me
CHORUS:
Compounding life throughout the years
That I may forget is all my fear
The brightest star, the nicest flower
That saved me from my darker hours
VERSE II:
And in my mind I wish again
For another chance to pass the same
A warm embrace in backyard fields
Even though the night is cold, it feels
A gentle gaze into infinity
While evening winds caress the trees
But I understand her free belief
And I think the same, so why do thoughts come back to me?
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
But now's a time I know
I play guitar and watch TV shows
Love is a game I dont mind to play
But when it takes control, all the fun fades away
Seventeen I will never see again
So why should I be feeling like I'm thirty-seven
But in my heart I wouldn't mind
To see the stars with her another time

"Battle"
Author: Sean Ketchum
Comments: Short...simple...philosopical |
VERSE I:
The gaurds on the terrace sweep
The appracing countryside
The throne perched in tensed relief
Commands the lives of pride
The winds part the steady cries
Of the preperation grounds
Awaiting weapons drawn
The battle trumpets sound
CHORUS:
And time passes thorough it all
Regardless of which crown shall fall
And tears dilute the fallen blood
Until the next cry is called
Verse II:
The last slain feed the earth
With blood of finest fools
And creed falls in disbelief
As new religion rules
The victors sack the town
Where great minds once did live
The new king cries fanfare tears
Though time cares none to give
CHORUS
BRIDGE
CHORUS

"Anima Blind"
Author: Sean Ketchum
Comments: Yeah...we all get depressed. |
VERSE I:
For a week, I havent washed my hair
No sleep, my eyes are glazed and stare
At the cieling for a second hour
And wish I wasnt here
My lack of insight has kept me down
I never think when I'm around
Too lazy to sit and cower
Or bury my feelings in the ground
PRE-CHORUS:
So I lie here
Hoping things will turn around
CHORUS:
Only lonely on the inside
And I cant see that the days are growing old
My mind wanders in the meantime
Thinking all this shit luck is sure to take its toll
Verse II:
Another weekend gone, spent by myself
Sat around questioning my mental health
And why the days seem to blur together
Lifelike stars painted in a cell
I smell like shit and its bringing me down
I'm only at peace when I'm not around
Self-idocy breeds anger
And my mind amplifies the sound
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
BRIDGE I:
And am I lonely?
Only if I care
Things just dont matter anymore
I think I'm better off here
In enlightening darkness
I argue with myself
Allready agreed I should be buried
The peace to fade away
BRIDGE II:
Awake again
Retipped sands
Ember quiet
The fire in sight
PRE CHORUS
CHORUS

"Window Pain"
Author: Joel Pinto
Comments: Finding solutions to problems, mostly relationship-wise. |
VERSE I:
Here I am, alone again.
Im sitting here and thinking.
Remembering everything you said.
I understand nothing at all.
The anger rises then it falls.
Why cant I just interpret it? Yeah
CHORUS:
Im looking Im looking, but I just cant find the window.
Im looking for me destiny, yeah
Im wishing Im wishing that I could just find the window.
I want to see the fate for me. I want to be.
VERSE II:
The torn canvas, the peeling paint,
The faint feeling of feeling faint;
Is this really where Im supposed to be?
Should I worry about your call?
Should I even worry at all?
Cause whats this worrying getting for me anyway?
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Will I ever be able to see
Through this blanket of ebony?
Through this unforgiving sea?
Cuz Im looking Im looking
Im looking to find the real me.
CHORUS
Im looking but I just cant find the window.
Im looking but I just cant find
Im looking but I just cant find the window.
What can I do? Im running out of time.
Im looking but I just cant find the window.
What am I to do? What am I to say?
Im looking but I just cant find the window.
Not tomorrow; not today.

"Electric Meditation"
Author: Sean Ketchum
Comments: hmmm....a good comment....D'oh! |
VERSE I:
Simple thoughts that enlighten now traverse me
No longer do I percieve duality
With desire extinguished all the sufferings gone
As I watch the futile chase down the horizon
CHORUS:
Careful in your quest for inner peace
To teh caged it appears a disease
I cant explain to you whats in my mind
Why the need to question if I feel fine?
VERSE II:
All the will to desire will bring you down
Liberation is simple once the walls are found
Selfless thought for the purpose thats inside itself
Everything becomes clear then, but nothing else
CHORUS

"As it was"
Author: Sean Ketchum
Comments: To the class of 2003. |
VERSE I:
Distance never seemed so far away
I allways thought I'd have the chance to say
To the ones cherished so deeply to myself
The way in which to them I allways felt
CHORUS:
And though I dream to live it twice
The memories have to suffice
And glimpses of what I'd have done
If everything was as it was
VERSE II:
The torture of reflecting gone awry
Driven by profoundness in her eyes
That even my guitar cant weep the words
To change the course of my life or of hers
CHORUS
