Now, that pay phones are gone, What am I to do with these pockets full of change Heads or tails i flipped the dime I place the bet i change my mind Feeling light, unlace my shoes Left to right just floating through I lock the eyes, find the spine Rock the boat just one more time I talk the shit, face the hoard Sink the ship, gone over board I wanted to know, what is down in side Proceeded to feel, A moment full of pride I see in myself all the caricatures I loath Caught in the spell of my inflated ego Grows, Grows, Grows, Slows, you gotta slow the thing down Relax yourself and let it go Born again, flip back track I'm torn again I just wanna little taste of mi amore and then Find me a freak that wants to go boogie I watered it down, I squared the root Opportunity passed right behind you so These weights on my mind bridle alter egos Do I feel so inclined or do i wanna fit in With all of the crying, smiling, happy people I'm stuck with myself and these familiar faces I know, I know, I know Let go, LET GO I'm the gift I, give the world every day Then I flat line, and pull down my own masquerade If I choose so, careful what I've gotta say This back and fourth from south to north Living with these rubber brains With the words I speak I've got you now You're bought you're sold Actions so discreet yet captivate your heart and soul Don't know what I am, but what it is you cannot hold With paraffin, these ropes, and steel When they made me they broke the mold Hey, you wanna get down Stay, away from me now Play, playing it down That you want me to 'cuz i don't really wanna do it Wanna do it Heads or tails i flipped the dime I place the bet i change my mind Feeling light, unlace my shoes left to right just floating through I lock the eyes, find the spine Rock the boat just one more time I talk the shit, face the hoard Sink the ship, gone over board I wanted to know, what is down in side Proceeded to feel, A moment full of pride I see in myself all the caricatures I loath Caught in the spell of my inflated ego

Don't trust them lonely fingers, 'cuz they know what they do In love with the bottle, sweet honey, and glue And I feel brand new Yes a whole new view It's a whole new day Though ain't much changed Get lost in the ruin of a vast and wretched wave Ain't no way to undo it, no way to escape So I clean my wounds In this warm cocoon Yes I feel brand new Absolved of truth The sting of the venom, enters my frame That sweet golden honey, flows through my veins Smile on me brother, I'm leaving the game My home in the garden. festered in flames And these wings I've grown, will carry me home From what I've been shown Once I quench the flames of this hell I'll never be alone Once i pierce the veil of this shell blue mother I'm home Blue Mother I'm home

Daylight, night time They go by I never see you But you say You care you don't I don't know what to make of, This makeup You think I haven't been here before I seem to find myself here all the time Good people I know what they're worth Yes I know Shoulders, so strong From all the people who live on My good side Time ticks, I wish we had more You think I haven't been here before I seem to find myself here all the time Good people I know what they're worth Yes I know Maybe when the snow falls Or until we've had some time To pretend that we're unsure Of whats on, our mind I gotta little place and you should come along All you gotta say is that it's me and you It's a field where greener grass grows Lets go, let go Take a leap of faith onto the other side I know you're probably thinking that i lost my mind If you're really ready to deny, what we know What we know What we know is true, and you want to stay That's just what we'll do, and I'll be on my way You think I haven't been here before I seem to find myself here all the time Good people I know what they're worth Yes I know I fall slow, and soon you'll say That I have to let it go, and you'll just walk away I have to let it go, with two roles to play And loose what has grown, just forced to watch it fade Yes I, I have to let it go, and do anything And I, I have to fall slow, as you just fade away

When it came from the sky The sound, the heat, the light, and smoking It landed on the horizon, And the ground began to shake and break. Deep inside a part of that great fireball Slowly beat a heart of something strange It took to the dirt and made itself a home And for ten million years that's where it stayed Things began to show up They began to grow up They began to look at the sky And ask the question why Sending signals into space, wonders if it's all alone Calls itself the human race and can't get off it's cellphone Can't get any messages is anybody listening I think we're picking something up I hear a voice it's whispering We're coming, you're fucked Shoulda' put a muzzle on it And you're stuck you can't get away All, your stuff is ours, simply because we want it If you were in our shoes you'd do the same Things began to show up, They began to blow up They began to look at the stars Looking for a new start It's lonely out in space, and we know we're all alone And we do not have a place, and we do not have a home We're pretty sure we're lost and the anxiety has grown If we don't do something quick this metal box will be our tomb When it came from the sky The sound, the heat, the light, and smoking It landed on the horizon, And the ground began to shake and break. Deep inside a part of that great fireball Slowly beat a heart of something strange It took to the dirt and made itself a home And for ten million years that's where it stayed

about

Strange Flavors Ypsilanti, Michigan

Strange Flavors is a progressive rock band that formed in late 2015 out of Ypsilanti, MI. With their energetic stage antics, big sound and over the top performances they quickly made a name for themselves. Floating through driving rhythms, intricate solos, syncopated bass lines, and crushing vocals the group exudes a sound and style all their own. Brutal, yet soulful and cerebral. ... more
