not crawling in there wet and it’s cold.

answers are ancient, secret and old

In every hole under 

every rock There’s a   

rat with an answer

just don’t stop 

They have the secrets  not known to none

If you’re not counting   million and one

In every hole under 

every rock There’s 

a rat with an answer it

 just don’t stop

The Dirt is Crawling

The Dirt is Crawling

He’s up and thinking 

Our hopes are sinking

We need a fool 

For us to rule

if he starts waking 

he’ll see we’re faking

if he won’t buy

he’ll know we lie

The dirt is crawling,

 what’ll we do 

Must keep a grip on 

the dirty and few. 

so once he’s woke up

and he has spoke up 

and they’ve been found out 

there’ll be no doubt

Anxious

Anxious

Anxious like a spider on a griddle

Anxious like an early morning worm

You sit and agonize

On things you visualize

Anxious like a mantis at a wedding

Anxious and as jumpy as a flea

All full of fear and dread

Of what could lie ahead

When you’re anxious come to me 

I can help to set you free

From your worries you can have rest

From your fear and your distress

Anxious and it’s never letting you sleep

Anxious and you’re prayin’ for relief

‘Cause you can’t take much more

You need some rest for sure

Protection

Protection

I will protect 

I’ll be around

You can relax

 I’ll never let you down 

They seek you out 

They hunt you down

You try to hide

You run from town to town 

Protection

I wanna get with the program

I wanna fight this rejection 

I need someone Looking after me

You are a threat

They thought it’s theirs

They thought they were

But they are not the heirs

One Last Time

One Last Time

I got trouble in sector seven 

And it’s spreadin’ mighty fast 

Shoulda known there’d be trouble 

What I didn’t know is if it would last 

I could listen and hear the whispers 

I would hear them where I stood 

It was mine, they desired it 

I could end it and maybe I should 

Tried to tell ‘em 

Tried to warn ‘em 

Tried to show ‘em 

Guess I’ll tell ‘em one last time 

There’s not many  I can trust in 

As betrayal starts to spread 

They want more they got greedy 

Into chaos is where it all lead
