Manarchy
(Music and Lyrics 5 to a Hill Copyright 2021)
I'd rather not
give in, to the fray.
fake it to the grave.
take it, come what may.
I've had enough
-comedy
-tragedy
-dramedy
I'm not alone.......
we've just begun
stepping on the backs
sucking off the hacks
slipping through the cracks
we're not alone....
I've severed off this faith in blood
this tug of war...
the trust is gone, my eyes are numb
I'm not alone....
you've had it rough
popping of the pills
drinking of the swill
sifting through the filth
we've just begun.....
I've severed off this faith in blood
this tug of war...
the trust is gone, my eyes are numb
We're not alone....
(mild psychotic episode ensues...)

Predatory Bender
(Music and Lyrics 5 to a Hill Copyright 2021)
How long ‘til your victims notice?
How long ‘til your victims turn?
There you go, breaking all the rules again
There they go, naked on your floor again
Somehow you embrace the morning
Play down why their stomach’s churn
There you go, bending all the rules again
They all know what you’ve left behind my friend
Think about what you have
Think about what you have done (karma man, karma man, come and get ‘em)
Singled-out so many...sittin' now so pretty...(karma man, karma man, come and get ‘em)
Chow down on the young and flirty
Held down, by your urgency
Did you know pleasure’s not a one-way street?
The say “no”, all you hear’s a piece of meat
Their eyes tell a tricky story
Their eyes know you all too well
Rotten soul, banging down their walls again
There they go, never trust another man
Think about what you have
Think about what you have done (karma man, karma man, come and get ‘em)
Singled-out so many...sittin' now so pretty...(karma man, karma man, come and get ‘em)
I don’t know who you think you are
I don’t know if you went too far
Could be a one-time thing...
They don’t know what to think you are
They don’t know how to heal their scars
Or how to hide their shame
Think about what you have
Think about what you have done (karma man, karma man, come and get ‘em)
Singled-out so many...sittin' now so pretty...(karma man, karma man, come and get ‘em)
(Mildly-horrific karma ensues...)

Ego Trip
(Music and Lyrics 5 to a Hill Copyright 2021)
Born decayed, from distress - Lost my way, what a mess…
Listen up! Destiny follows paths that can leave you hollow
Beckoning to the fold...All your dreams break the other’s mold
Systems fail- When egos swell
On your mark, get set, go- Take the wheel, never look below
Oxygen’s getting low- Up too high, hence the vertigo
Systems fail- When egos swell
Ego-Trip
Listen up! Destiny follows paths that can leave you hollow
Oxygen’s getting low- Up too high, hence the vertigo...
Systems fail- When egos swell
Ego-Trip
All your bridges burn down- All your bridges burn…
Ego-Trip
Failed the test, brace for more
What’s the quest? Not so sure
(Mild-swelling ensues.....)

Demons be Gone
(Music and Lyrics 5 to a Hill Copyright 2021)
Left on the highway
Nowhere to run
Angels behind me
Pointing their guns
Deep in the fog now
Drenched in the rain
Cheating the odds now
Vested in shame
Free my ghosts and demons
Revive all my spirits
Free my ghosts and demons
Free now from the wicked
Banked on an old friend
Took out a loan
Cast out a wide net
Nothing to show
Beasts never slow down
Rest is in vain
Feed on my soul now
Name of the game
Free my ghosts and demons
Revive all my spirits
Free my ghosts and demons
Free now from the wicked
(Mild exorcism ensues....)
Free my ghosts and demons
Revive all my spirits
Free my ghosts and demons
Free now from the wicked

Lamprey
(Music and Lyrics 5 to a Hill Copyright 2021)
I know there are things that you want me to say...
Sweet nothings are only made to betray
Give me an inch and you know that I'll take the mile...
But fallin' in love had never been my style
I know that when things get hard and words get rude and it all looks blue, you won't desert me....I won't desert you.
No man had ever been so wrong...
To think that hope had long since gone.
I gave her an inch and she took one million miles....
But fallin' in love had never been her style.
I know that when things get hard and words get rude and it all looks blue, you won't desert me....I won't desert you.
(Somewhat-musical chaos ensues…)
Fallin' in love had never been our style.....
I know that when things get hard and words get rude and it all looks blue, you won't desert me....I won't desert you.

How We Die
(Music and Lyrics 5 to a Hill Copyright 2021)
There’s a day…that will come in time
When our fate tarnishes the light
Come what may…Questions will arise
Pave the way…to ultimate demise
Oh no, don’t take a bite
Oh no, don’t pick a fight
Oh no, don’t take the ride
That’s how we die
Oh no, don’t pick a side
Oh no, don’t step inside
Oh no, don’t wonder how I know
That’s how we die….
Variables…endless, non-contrived
Fall away into space and time
There you go..connect the dotted lines
Bare the soul and hope it learns to fly
Oh no, don’t take a bite
Oh no, don’t pick a fight
Oh no, don’t take the ride
That’s how we die
Oh no, don’t pick a side
Oh no, don’t step inside
Oh no, don’t wonder how I know
That’s how we die….
On my day…make a toast. On my way..On my way.
Out of debt..been made whole..Some might say.. Some might say
There below..bad mistakes…Some might pay. Come what may…..
(Mild-ensuing ensues...)

Friend Nor Foe
(Music and Lyrics 5 to a Hill Copyright 2021)
You take the high road
I’ll take the low
They can see through you
Just so you know
Brain-dead, a strain on my head
Save it for someone that cares
Don’t need to shake my hand
Don’t need to save my soul
Don’t mean to tear you down
You are no friend, nor enemy
You bring the nonsense, I’ll bring the lame
Just like the moth gets hit by the flame
Nameless, you’ll remain in my way
Shameless, I’ve got nothing to say
Don’t need to shake my hand
Don’t need to save my soul
Don’t mean to tear you down
You are no friend, nor enemy
Don’t need to shake my hand
Don’t need to save my soul
Don’t mean to tear you down
I won’t hit you up….
(Mild-nonsense ensues....)

Sludge Drive
(Music and Lyrics 5 to a Hill Copyright 2021)
I see the road divide, I feel there's no dead ends..
High speed in overdrive, 5 gears absolve their sins,
The sludge is running right through your veins,
The earth is humming a tune of change
The squeaky gets greasy, we make it look easy, we fumble and falter, just to undermine extinction of our kind.
I see the worlds collide.. I feel the walls close in,
5 wheels avoid the mines below the mud and spin,
The sludge is driven into the brain, our cup it runneth into the drain
The squeaky gets greasy, we make it look easy, we fumble and falter.
Feed me more lines. Feel the sludge drive.
I see the road divide, I feel there's no dead ends,
5 wheels that tow the line, before the road gives in..
The squeaky, gets greasy, we make it look easy, we ripple like water.
Feed me more lines. Feel the sludge drive.
Relax and avoid the mundane…….
(Severe mundane-ness ensues...)
