CIRCUMFERENCE WITHOUT THE MATHEMATICS Music and Lyrics by JB Minton

CIRCUMFERENCE WITHOUT THE MATHEMATICS

On the path of stars, two will become one
and this will be the one we welcome.
Foolish, wicked mind, sit and stay in time.
Don’t play with immortal power.
Energy you cannot conceive,
your mortal mind won’t let you believe.
Inside your mind, your wear the mark of time
The son of man has turned over a nine.
Remove your mind from loss, your focus on the cross;
the church drowns in the water we swim.
Sinking fast into the fire mud,
penitence for seeking peace through blood.
Prosecute the greed, to punish all the need
and then we’ll push into the tower.
Our faith will set the pace on the new human race;
we’ll answer to higher power.
Don’t step inside this circle of the Mind,
unless you’ve got the magic formula.

REAGAN Music and Lyrics by JB Minton

REAGAN

When I was only six years old,
I shook Reagan’s hand.
Never did I feel skin so cold.
I could swear that he was a dead man.
Riding in a bullet proof limo,
gun-man watching the car.
The bloviating scarecrow, a media superstar.
Ronnie went and armed the world,
and then he forgot his name.
Ronnie went and armed the world,
and nothing’s ever been the same.
If the White House is closed, we can climb the walls.
Take it to the circle that started it all.
They can answer all the questions that we never would know.
And we can sacrifice the nation on a reality show.
A solar panel roof on the White House,
Removal by the corporate czars.
Filabusting game of cat and mouse.
Surveillance from the field of stars.
A crack head is born in the ghetto
with drugs from the Contra affair.
We sold arms to the brown and the yellow,
turned our backs on our own in despair.
Ronnie went and armed the world,
and then he forgot his name.
Ronnie went and armed the world,
and nothing’s ever been the same.
If the White House is closed, we can climb the walls.
We can read the Constitution that started it all.
We can answer all the questions that they don’t want to show.
We can sacrifice the system for the people at home.

WALKING AWAY INSIDE Music and Lyrics by JB Minton

WALKING AWAY INSIDE

Scatter my ashes in the flowing wind,
I will take root and flower again.
This is a path in life I despise,
I’m tired of my reflection in the world’s constructed lies.
I’m walking away ‘cause I just can’t stay as the other guy.
Leaving today, I’m walking away inside.
I once had a purpose, once had control,
of a weapon on my own grassy knoll.
I painted a face for you that I’ve come to despise.
But I’m done with the gun; 
I’m walking away inside.
I’m walking away ‘cause I just can’t stay as the other guy.
I’m kneeling to pray before walking away inside.
I am a death trap, caught in the cracks, a generation gap
and you are same as I, but you’d rather eat lies.
We are space-ship, bad trip, floating to the flip side.
I’m tired of my reflection in your passive eyes.
I’m walking away ‘cause I just can’t stay as the other guy.
I give over to the day, walking away inside.
