ODIN'S COURT LYRICS

1. Turtles All The Way Down, Pt. 1

[Instrumental]

[Brookins Solos]

2. And The Answer Is...

My mind is screaming;
life can be so shrill.
Internal bleeding,
combustible will.

The day goes on.
Life seems unreal.

In one state, mind's in prison.
I must change consciousness.
I change states, mind solves problems;
I find out what it means.

And the answer's found lying still.
And the answer is crystal clear.

One course, one meaning.
Find it all, when still.
Internal feeding,
find it all, when still.

My rest goes on;
world is surreal.

In one state, mind's in prison.
I must change consciousness.
I change states, mind solves problems;
I find out what it means.
In one state, mind's in prison.
I must change consciousness.
I change states, mind solves problems;
I find out what it means.

And the answer's found lying still.
And the answer is crystal clear.

Sleep awake, answers coming.
Sleep awake, I alone...

(Hold on, so strong.)
It comes to me. The answer, the answer.

(Hold on, life's song.)
The answer is, the answer is. Captured in my mind-

(Slow now, less strong.)
It slips away, start slipping now,siphoning away.

(Hold on, the answer is...)
It's over now, it's over now, the answer is...

[Pierpont Solo]

Life! My life!

3. ...But What's The Question?

I can see,
answered pilgrimage of my meaning.
I can answer it all
through my knowledge.
Up and down it steers my fears.
Through my life's wilderness.

What if I got it wrong?
What if I framed things through my mind's wrought eyes?

Through my eyes I see things wrong?
And in my mind I wonder screaming doubt.
All the questions that I asked,
littered are thoughts tuned in from my programmed past.

What if I got it all wrong?
What if I framed things through my wrought eyes?

But what questions?
And how can I know what to ask?

Anger in my brain, not knowing
what's inside my frame?

[Brookins & Pierpont Solos]

What if I got it wrong?
What if I framed things through my wrought eyes?

But what questions?
And how can I decide what I'll find?
Blind eyes, but what question?
What will I find, as I dig in my mind?

4. Insomnia

Start again, machine of reason... reason in motion.
The, the universe and life goes through everything
into it 'til the oceans flood my mind.

Words, words, words -
do they have meaning?
What do they really say?
Or thoughts' mental reason?
Significant reasons?
The mind of being?

(Think much. Think much and analyze...)
Think and I judge,
work up my mind.

(Think much. Think much and analyze...)
I force my body to sleep,
but continue to think.
I try my best,
my mind can't throw it all away.

[Brookins & Pierpont Solos]

(Think much. Think much and analyze...)
Think and I judge,
work up my mind.

(Think much. Think much and analyze...)
I force my body to sleep,

(Think much. Think much and analyze...)
Work up my mind.

(Think much. Think much and analyze...)
Defined insomnia.

(Body forced to sleep, but still my mind thinks.)
Body forced to sleep.

6. Turtles All The Way Down, Pt. 2

[Instrumental]

[Brookins Solos]

7. The Warmth Of Mediocrity

My arrival in my time, let go.
My aspirations glow, traveling down my road.

Yet the circle's incomplete, that I can't deny.
The my soul cries out, spread my wings and cry!

Now I see, what I see, the warmth of mediocrity.
So soothing, and numbing, familiar and heavenly.
The warmth of mediocrity!

Time to take my flight... (time for letting go?)
My aspirations change... (forging a new road.)

(Yet the path's broken and weak...) that I can't defy.
(Then my heart splits open...) darkness into light.

Now I see, what I see, the warmth of mediocrity.
So soothing, and numbing, you are here with me.

Now I see, what I see, the warmth of mediocrity.
So soothing, and numbing, familiar and heavenly.
The warmth of mediocrity!

[Pierpont & Brookins Solos]

Now I see, what I see, the warmth of mediocrity.
So soothing, and numbing, familiar and heavenly.
The warmth of mediocrity!

8. (A Song For) Dragons

Sometimes things go well,
fair-weathered flight and friends,
I soar and soar on lonely wings.
I'm lonely, so lonely.

Self-aware, awareness lack of love.
Black mornings, all because.
Flame and fire cannot rain down.
Black mornings, expose all flaws.

They want it all; I must stand tall.
Balance in me they cannot see.
Blindly follow, zealot's faith fading.
Despite reasons, drives my wrath from within me.

Self-aware, awareness lack of love.
Black mornings, just because.
Flame and fire cannot rain down.
Black mornings, expose all flaws.

Worn me down, despite all my resilience.
This dragon's dragged around.
When I'm gone,
maybe then they'll realize.
I set the greatest heights.

Self-aware, awareness lack of love.
Black mornings, all because.
Flame and fire cannot rain down.
Black mornings, expose all flaws.

Self-aware, awareness lack of love.
(Lack of love.)

Black mornings, just because.
(Just all because.)

Flame and fire cannot rain down.
(Rain down.)

Black mornings, expose all flaws.
(All flaws.)

[Brookins Solo]

9. The Death Of A Sun

(The death of a sun.)

Infinite mass set to bring me to life.
A child's mind, oh, so innocent.
Into the universe, we shall cut tonight.
Wonder and beautiful, full of danger.

Expanding matter, collides with creation.
Absorbing all my knowledge;
my mind's invasion.

(The death of a sun.)
Our world comes undone.
(The death of a sun.)
Life ceases to run.

Time passes on, relative to my standards.
Balance, chance - maintain conditions.
Children pass away now, living by new merit.
Star is burning now, I draw spirit.

Expanding matter, collides with creation.
Absorbing all my knowledge;
my mind's invasion.

(The death of a sun.)
Our world comes undone.
(The death of a sun.)
Life ceases to run.

(Expanding matter)
Expanding matter, collides with creation, creation.
Absorbing all my knowledge;
my mind's invasion, my mind's invasion.

Expanding, collapsing.
The sun comes undone.
Expanding, collapsing.
My breath comes undone.

(Expanding) cannot be,
(collapsing) forever.
The sun comes undone.
(Expanding) it's final,
(collapsing) age sets in.
The death of a sun.

[Pierpont Solo]

10. Back Where The Daffodils Grow

[Instrumental]

[Brookins & Pierpont Leads & Solos]

11. Life's Glory

Inside me, not infinitely.
Inside me, to see life, hopeful all's right.
I'm running around to find the answers.
I'm running around - don't I see?

Keep holding on, gonna get nowhere;
gonna go onward, by holding on,
I can feel, so free now.
Holding on, to all my life's glory.

[Brookins Solo]

Hold on - a sea inside me...
Hold on - a seesaw will stop with time...
I'm running away from all the questions.
I'm running away - do I feel?

Keep holding on, gonna get nowhere;
gonna go onward, by holding on,
I can feel, so free now.
Holding on, to all my life's glory.

[Brookins Solo]

Keep holding on, gonna get somewhere.
Holding on, gonna go upward.
Holding on, to all my life's glory.

Into the universe, live life preciously.
Glorious universe, live.
Into the universe, live life preciously.
Glorious universe, live... free...

13. Box Of Dice (Does God Play?)

[Part II - Box Of Dice]

[Pierpont/Brookins Duel]

Contemplation occupies my time.
Where, o muse?
Sometimes I feel like I'm poked by time.
It builds up inside.

A box of dice for me. What do you think I'll see?
Does God play? Or sit this out today?
Randomness for all? Am I a ragdoll?
Is it turtles, turtles all the way down?

[Brookins & Pierpont Harmony]

Think I've got the answer in my mind?
Well, why don't you?
Nature has more imagination than I.
So what might I find?

A box of dice for me. What do you think I'll see?
Does God play? Or sit this out today?
Randomness for all? Am I a ragdoll?
Is it turtles, turtles all the way down?

Theory of everything? I'll take a theory of anything.
Or nothing from something?
Does everything really mean something? How about a theory of anything?
And make sense of it all.

[Palumbo Lead]

A box of dice for me. What do you think I'll see?
Does God play? Or sit this out today?
Randomness for all? Am I a ragdoll?
Is it turtles, turtles all the way down?

I am a victim of this sordid reality.
I teeter on the edge; constant push for self-indulgence.

Matter, time, distance, dimensions.
Ignorance still leads to the same thing.
Too smart to just let it go - plead for bliss, what's the difference?
Do I need more wisdom and sense? Or just dollars and cents?
Resist, remiss, refuse religious right wing diss...
or lying, leftist, liberal, hippy piss.
Hate, hypocritical hate - all sides are amiss.

[Part III - Middle Ground]

[Brookins Lead]
[Brookins & Pierpont Harmony]
[Pierpont Lead]
[Brookins & Pierpont Harmony/Palumbo Duel]

[Part IV - Does God Play?]

What moves me? Unmover,
mover can't be seen... to see.
I know it can't be all;
I know it can't be all.
Then I manically panic.

A box of dice, but does God play?
Completely unknown state to unknown next state.
A box of dice, but does God play?
The world around us, did He have His say?

All the way, turtles all the,
all the way down until we see?
There's endless openings.
There's endless openings.
Roll the dice and pull the string.

A box of dice, but does God play?
Completely unknown state to unknown next state.
A box of dice, but did God play?
The world around us, did He have His say?
