lyrics

V1
I once heard that the righteous man is beset on all sides
By the inequities of selfish and tyrannical men,
And at the pulp, that ain’t fiction, cuz the tempest we exist in
Sprung from avarice that saturates environments,
And now we’re asking why the bird song emanates from the cage,
But never why the caged bird was caged in the first place.
Sometimes it’s more than just a case of the Mondays,
And other days I just need a blunt.
Now, there be days I break and flake on gettin’ up
To wallow in the cotton, cuz I fought and lost,
And I’m lonelier than Lucifer.
‘I allude to her to mark the solace and chaos
Co-existing in the eye of the Eye of Jupiter,
And if you trip because they get your coffee order wrong,
While the biggest storm in this solar orbit rages on,
You won’t notice: even interstellar weather never last forever,
And that definition is what’s risen from erosion.

Hook:
There’s a storm going on outside no man escapes from and
You will lose some, but you will gain others,
And if you make it out the other side alive,
You will walk among the stars Beyond Jupiter’s Eye

V2
The road to Hell is paved with damned good intentions, if I say so myself;
We never mean to hurt the ones we do.
They usually never mean to hurt us too.
I see subliminal victims, addicted, thick in a system, and stuck.
That don’t excuse malicious actions and thoughts,
It serves to signify the scale of the storm--we’ve all been rained on,
We’ve felt the weight that rains from Jupiter’s eye,
And hoped alone for days that lie in wait beyond,
And now I know that one glass of wine is fine, but five’s better.
Fair weather family rob each other over cheddar.
Vendettas worm their way inside our nightmares,
And permanently nest there, and give birth to your worst fears,
And now I’m screamin’ that we gotta kill this atmosphere
If we ever expect to explore the universe.
Boys of like ilk are destined to become men,
The caveat is they must walk through Hell first.

Hook

V3
I see an end to this storm planetside, and now I find myself
Reaching for the stars with every fiber of my being,
And seeing that this tree sap stains our wooden furniture,
A hurricane of blades now adopts divine meaning,
And I’m bleeding still today, but I consider that a victory,
Despite the fact the marriage of relief and guilt now sits in me,
Cuz who’s to say that I deserve escape from the litany
Of elements affecting scores of innocents with misery?
I see the forest for its facets and inhabitants,
Conflicted whether Wolf should eat and orphan Brer Rabbit’s kids,
Cuz that’s how it happens--it’s a perfect world for masochists,
Gluttons eat the hungry and pretend they’re not the savages.
The Eye of Jupiter is shrouded in terror,
It rages on the outside and warps the interior,
It swirls and whirls inclement, violent and intense,
So it helps to have the mindset that there’s beauty in these scars.
