one makes a big mistake
and pays gently
one trips on smaller rocks
and loses everything
it's amazing
what they'll get you to believe
about who's doing it
and who they'll get you to grieve (for)
walk into it
feign your tired arms
play into it
succumb to mild charms
to some it's a game
winner takes all
but it's not in any store
unless you check its walls
icons give a figure
to be beaten up
but most would rather
join their forces and give up
(and rhyme the same word twice)

Decision

I'm tired of letting this sit around
some call it writer's block
to me and my image, it's failure
when faced with change that threatens to destroy how other people see you
there's a crossroads you're presented with
make your decision
fuck around and find out who you really are
boxing match with your shadow
determine the real you
grapple with the idea you're only good at lying
lose sleep over whether or not it's not for lack of trying
make your decision

Mission Trip

there's nothing wrong with taking a vacation every now and again
as long as you know better than to assign a greater purpose
you're not going to change anyone's life by showing up out of nowhere
and telling them the way they live is killing them
and only you can save them
don't ride up
and
leave it(them) alone
people like you took flourishing zones and transformed them into the future's paid parking
and you have the gall to look at this wasteland and say you're the only one who can change it over there
you aim to be the victim and the hero all at once and get free attention
from other assholes who think like you and hope like you they'll go down in history a hero
like the crusades needed another name on its wall of blood

maybe that wasn't a great idea
it's been done before and it didn't work then either
and if it did, it brought great consequences
some would choose to end than to pause, change, relax
and take it back
your first idea never has to
be the
last one
too

Animal Holidays

at peace with the day I stay in bed a little longer
back to the dream about climbing the ropes
clear little girl taps me on the shoulder
I can't see but I feel that this was the wrong move
that's not sitting right
the demons always keep me up so late at night
so what's the purpose of a ghost
to make the most
of my plight?
turn off the light
apparently it was to be called "Animal Holidays"
but the brand didn't mesh with the name and it floundered
lost to the wind, it froze up growing colder
I can't hear but I fear the force is getting louder

Crossed Streams

once was written on this wall
it's fallen to remain
ruined scripts in monochrome
washed out by acid rain
cavaliers ran out to save
and fell to bitter traps
chandeliers decorating
those pesky little gaps
where will you enter
where will you exit
they crossed the streams in limousines
engulfed in camouflage
stalked by well dressed gentlemen
in royal blue facade
text to speech when out of reach
a new path paves its way
don the gowns and burn the town
with future on its way

This is a great album. Kinda like if Guided By Voices used GarageBand instead of a 4-track.

Ten years may have passed since the last Bellini record, but the math rock group sound as fierce as ever.

The enigmatic Frank Ene's solo record lives in a magical world where Serge Gainsbourg fronts Yellow Magic Orchestra.
