Psychic Stain

Words, music, keyboards and vocals: Danarama

It's there on the table,
And the ceiling up high.
It's here on my chest
Where her head used to lie.

But it's only a psychic stain
It is all that remains of its maker
Who has gone from this place.

It colors the wine glass.
It covers the sheets.
It hangs on the curtains
And runs in the street.

But it's only a psychic stain.
Why would it want to remain
when its maker
Wasn't long for this place?

Go into the light!
You're not welcome here.
So go, and be free,
So I can also be.
You've wandered these halls
Much longer since you wandered away
If you're memory or reality
I really can't say.

It's grown quite familiar
It goes where I roam
Or waits on the doorstep
For me to come home

But it's only a psychic stain.
Why would it want to remain
when its maker
Wasn't long for this place?
I don't know.

Annihilated

Words, music, keyboards and vocals: Danarama
Bass Guitar: Moses Domingo

All your kind think you're so bright.
Trouble is you'll never see the light.
Fool us once and screw us twice.
Don't you know you're going to pay the price.

All you used to dominate
We'll force you to regurgitate.
Don't bother to procreate,
It's time for you to meet your fate.

You will be annihilated.
Guns from the trenches
And bombs from the sky.
You will be annihilated
Bow your head and
Kiss your ass goodbye.

Rape the earth and rob the seas.
Can't you tell? You're really the disease.
Heed the price consumption brings.
Waste your life collecting useless things.

I know something you don't know
The horsemen rode here days ago.
Pay the judgment that you owe.
The time has come for you to go.

You will be annihilated
Flooded by rivers
And hung out to dry
You will be annihilated
Bow your head and
Kiss your ass goodbye.

I can see by the smile upon your face.
You still think you are the master race.
So sad, but it's time to close the show.
I'll miss you so.

Never Come This Way Again

Words, music, keyboards and vocals: Danarama

Evidently now,
The mark that I made has begun to fade
Amnesia embraces me.
Suddenly I find
The man in the mirror looks back at me
And sees right through me.

I know, I'll never come this way again.
I'll go, but don't know where to, or when.

Everywhere I walked
My footprints ephemeral washed away
Erased by the rising tide.
Every word I spoke,
Including the echoes, absorbed in smoke
Or smothered inside.

I know, I'll never come this way again.
I'll go, but don't know where to, or when.

They say in the afterlife
You can see for infinity
What's been and what's yet to be
Here. Why can't I?

Somewhere in my past
Something had to last.
I know I am to be
My only legacy
I'll have no diary,
No crying progeny
No tickertape parade
No speeches will be made
No wreaths of flowers laid
No need to be afraid.

I'll never come this way again.
I'll go, but don't know where to, or when.

Silent Siren

Words, music, keyboards and vocals: Danarama

Every night in my dreams
I can follow you.
You whisper, but I can't hear your name.
Like the mist on a lake
I can see you move
You touch me, but I can't do the same.

Where do you run?
Where are you from?
Are you here from my past
Or what's yet to come?
Silent siren,
Where have you been?
I know you but don't know from when.

Something dark in your eyes
Tries to beckon me
But warns me that I should stand aside.
Faded trails on your cheeks
Betray your subtle smile
Tell me that you too have often cried.

Where do you run?
Where are you from?
Are you here from my past
Or what's yet to come?
Silent siren,
Where have you been?
I know you but don't know from when.

Here I lie in my bed
Awaiting you
Creeping into my head
Another view
When I fall in dreams, you're there to rescue me
But every nightmare is you.
I can't escape.

There you are again.
Say something
Lift up your velvet sleeve.
Let me see for myself
Have you any scars?
Are they mine,
Or were they caused by me?

Where do you run?
Where are you from?
Are you here from my past
Or what's yet to come?
Silent siren,
Where have you been?
I know you but don't know from when.

What Not To Say

Words, music, keyboards and vocals: Danarama
Bass Guitar: Steve Jennings
Guitars: Orlando Cerecedes (by Jonah Otagaki)

You walk into a room
Like an open wound
Seeping your sob stories
And praying for Samaritans
To lend an open ear.

You saturate your friends
Like a sponge of hate
Sneering at passersby
Who fail to pay due homage to
Your alligator tears.

I know what not to say
What not say
To send you reeling.
I know what not to say
What not to say
To hurt your feelings.

Each hug you greet me with
Lingers a little long
Drawing my energy
Into the swirling emptiness
That fills you through and through
Each crowd you wander in
You convert into
Some sort of group therapy
A gang bang of psychiatry
From children ill as you.

But your secrets are my history.
My own pain was your mystery.
When I loved you, you grew pissed at me.
Your every weakness you'd insist I see.
Well now I see.

I don't know what to say
Not what to say
To cease this beating.
I don't know what to say
Not what to say
To stop my bleeding.
I don't know what to say
Not what to say
But how I'm trying.
I don't know what to say
Not what to say...
To keep from dying.
