Prove me Wrong(a letter to a tele-evangelist)

This is a letter To you enemies I've never met
It's a blunt invitation To come teach me what I don't know yet
I hope you're offended, yes I hope I get put in my place
So if it's righteous by all means defend it
I have been known to make big mistakes

I'm a skeptic, a critic I'm quick to admit it
It's stupid depressing and dumb
But I've yet to discover the good in you brother
To offset the damage you've done
stop trying to confuse me, instead won't you prove me wrong....

So now I'll just say it,
with out any further a due
Your actions they disgust me
I'm up hauled by the grace you abuse
You can dismiss this as slander
You can go tell your mother I'm mean
You can hid in the corner
go confide in your cowards and thieves

You're a joke that's not funny I'm saving my money
for anything more worth my rent
But the malice you gave me will keep and sustain me
long after your money's been spent
You may be only human but look what you're doing
It's humans that scare me the most
At least monsters stay hidden forgotten forbidden
forsaken by even the ghosts
but you're out in the open so clean and well spoken
I find you more frightening by far
Your words they don't move me, Still I wish you would prove me wrong...

And I'd love to be shown I was wrong all along and
it's not all as bad as it seems
but you haunt every station trade guilt for donations
you're selling what you got for free
I'm not joking or kidding it's crime you're committing
don't let me insult you again
If you've got some correction please teach me my lesson
come save your good name if you can
speak any truth to me Oh I wish you could prove me wrong....

Good evening all,
A few months ago, we told you about this "silo project thing" and promised journal entries picture updates etc......With the exception of the trailer we've posted nothing......And I'm sorry. We didn't forget those you who were following along, nor did the silo project sease to exist......it's not you it's me. Once we began the filming/recording process things simply moved faster than anticipated and we ceased communication with the outside world.....until now. So heres a very belated update, the album is recorded, the documentary is filmed, the editing has commenced. The first blogs and clips are up,
let us know your thoughts.
cheers

The wonderful people over at Rock Om (www.rockom.net) have named "Hide and Seek" by Stukenberg as their featured track of the week. On top of that, they took the time to analyze the lyrics and post a video blog about their findings. Very interesting stuff if you care to take a look.

Watch Now

Some bands break into the market via Apple commercials, some are background music on MTV teeny bop shows, we, on the other hand are looking to break the Japanese cooking blog market, which in our opinion is an untouched virtual cornucopia of opportunity. Check out the link below to see what we mean ...

Watch Now

About time ehh?.....sorry for the delay guys, criticize away.
Also for any of you who were keeping up with the silo, it hasn't stopped .We should have the first video along with more journal entries up before next weekend. Thanks for reading.
cheers

Don't Mind
I've been walking, been waiting, I've been right here
I've been fighting, been brave, I've been full of fear
I've been laughing, been smiling, been making amends
I've been lonely and I've been surrounded by friends

CHORUS:

But if you don't mind, I think about you All the time
I don't believe I have a choice
I know you object, but it has no effect
I've lost the one thing I enjoy
I've been reading, been writing, mostly what I've read
I've been singing while standing on my head (figuratively of course)
I've been wishing my memories would just go away
Been misspelling the things that I wish I could say

CHORUS

Bridge: I think I lost it, think I lost it again, ohhhh, I..I know I lost it, know I lost it again

CHORUS

Fights
Don't you worry my dearest everyone
Of course I'm still listening to you
And don't you fret my only shining sun
I haven't forgotten your smiling truth
Could you just be direct you said to me
Spare the intellect and the poetry
We want a story we wanna sing along

And you, you're probably right
I'm probably wrong and that's alright, Hey
And we, we're probably friends and I know this will end
That's what I love about fights

I've got a lot on my mind these days
I know it's no excuse for the ways I behave
Asking questions
As if I want to know.
So here's four chords and I'll do my best,
To please them all with the utmost respect
For anyone with an opinion or a name.

And I, I'm probably right
You're probably wrong and that's alright, Hey
And we, we're probably friends and I know this will end
That's what I love about fights

BRIDGE:
I told you all that I thought
You told me that is what you would need
I've got my soul but it's all that I brought
In a box of honesty

And you, you're probably right
I'm probably wrong and that's alright, Hey
And we, we're probably friends and I know this will end
That's what I love about fights

Hide and seek
I'll count to ten, cover up my eyes again
I know the rules and I can't turn around yet
In hide and seek, you have to promise not to peek
till the thing that you are searching for is hidden

CHORUS:
Bigger something, won't you break me down
I'll give my inhibitions to you
Ohh and paint me hopeless and sketch me lost
if it means you'll come looking for me
I'll give you my heart all the pieces and parts
forgotten, forgiven, in flames

I keep searching now, but you just don't want to be found
I'm reading books you left as clues for me to find you
I'll close my eyes, even pretend to be surprised
I'll do anything to end this game we're playing

CHORUS

OUTRO:
seek yeah and ye shall find
I've been knocking on your door, I've been knocking on your door
But did I misread between the lines,
Did I get it wrong before, will I ever find you lord, I'm here

I see
So I really thought I'd find a way to help them
yeah, I figured I'd be sane enough by now
but I see old men breaking down that look a lot like me
saying that "life has passed them by and they don't know how"

CHORUS:
I see everything around me
it captivates and surrounds me
And oh even now, I'm a memory somehow
looking back on what's in front of me
and oh I'll remain cause our hope already came
and went away
 when there was still some time...

Well my best friend just said the world is ending
And honestly well that just might be the case
But I'd still rather be a fool who knows the truth is insane
than a genius in an emperors parade

CHORUS:
I see everything around me
it captivates and surrounds me
And oh even now, I'm a memory somehow
looking back on what's in front of me
and oh I'll remain cause our hope already came
and went away
 when there was still some time...

February 20th
Why would you say these things
Is this what you really mean, what you really mean
Are you sure are you sure, is this how you really feel, really feel?
I guess I'll be alright, abolished for tonight

CHORUS:
Hey and I don't think I need it
No I won't be concerned
You've drawn conclusions I just don't have time to fight with
Life is far too short I've learned

Is this your last request
Oh I can disappear, I will disappear
So it's over now, you don't know how right you are, right you are
I guess I'll be alright, abolished for the rest of my life

CHORUS

Hallelujah it's over, Hallelujah it's done
Hallelujah it's over, Hallelujah it's done…..

Hypothesis
 Before your next big function
Before the end grows near
Before the mass destruction
We'll all be consumed by fear

CHORUS:
I've got it made and my hypothesis is great
I've been afraid of this research I've made
I love this place, and if only for today
I've got it made, and I'll be quite ok

Thank God the globe is warming
In time for world war three
At least I won't be cold while I'm exploding
My perspective's only up to me

CHORUS:
I've got it made and my hypothesis is great
I've been afraid of this research I've made
I love this place, and if only for today
I've got it made, and I'll be quite ok

BRIDGE:
there is always gonna be bad news
but today I'm gonna smile
and there's nothing you can do

CHORUS:

Half Empty
Somebody cried in my cup, and it's half full
Guess I should be sad about it, or so I'm sold
I changed my mind the other day, now I'm clean
I spend my days awake in disinfected dreams

Chorus:
And all I know is that I feel so bad right now
And all I want is the smile that I once had
It's so simple really

Read a self-help smile book at 2 am
It said the problems in my head
So I sat awake and thought about it til quarter after ten
Just as I suspected they were right again

Bridge:
Smiles can happen when there's rain on your face
Sadness may occur on beautiful days

Chorus

Senses
If all at once I couldn't speak
May I write you a letter
It might communicate it better written down
If all at once I lost my sight
I would color what I could not see
If you swear to share your crayons with me
Because what I mean
To say....
Well I know I lack the senses to explain
If all at once I couldn't hear
May I sing you all my melodies
So genuine and out of key
And, if all at once I lost my mind may I
Ramble to you endlessly about the
Unicorns and apple trees I just met
Because what I mean
To say....
Well I know I lack the senses to explain
If all at once we both grew old
May I hit on you with pick up lines like
Those dentures make you look so fine and...
If all at once I forgot your name
Would you banish me from your world if...
I just called you beautiful
Instead.
 
Starbuck Algeria
So you finally found a way to convince yourself
Everything is not so bad
It took another cup of coffee and two brand new shirts
And some guy you pay to tell you that you're not mad
And so you cry about your childhood cause your dad worked late
And your mother spent her life on the phone
Now you feel abandoned and you eat too much
Life has left you fat and alone

You've been wasting your time
You've been wasting your time (2x)

While you contemplate your happiness and peace of mind
A six-year-old just opened his eyes
To see his mother fall asleep with a firearm
To guard the only thing she loves that is still alive
And they have never heard of mortgages or self-esteem
Sanity is just something to eat
Freedom is a privilege in the rest of the world
Self-absorption, pledge allegiance to me

I've been wasting my time
I've been wasting my time (2x)

OUTRO: I'm so ungrateful, so ungrateful

Mrs. Barker's pew
You'll be sitting still
attentively learning at your will
there you will remain
for the rest of the lesson of the day
hey, say hello
does it apply to you
you over articulated fool
it should make you cry
but it doesn't move anything inside
oh no
what's it like to be that way?
you were screaming at the nearest face

You'll be singing along
just loud enough to make an equal sound
your expressions will be
any emotion that you think that they should be
you better make some noise
if you're gonna appear to be over joyed
oh and clap your hands
to any rhythm that blends in
any one will do at all
what's it like to be that way?
you were screaming at the nearest face

OUTRO:
I've seen patience be so unkind
To true love waiting so deaf and blind
So while you're moving mountains my resounding friend
If you should have a moment would you hold my hand?

Backslide
I backslid today,
or rather felt something not so great
I wouldn't dare to complain,
cause isn't sin what causes pain?

CHORUS:
But if holiness is everywhere, then why am I by myself?
And if godliness forgives and cares, where is everybody else?
Somewhere we must've got human
Somewhere we must've got real
This is how it feels

They say that Jesus wept.
I'm sure he smiled too
I'm not ashamed of these things
I'm not ashamed of you

CHORUS

Bridge/ ending:

If it stays this way,
will anyone be left who hasn't made mistakes?
And if we're all in this together
will our self- righteousness never go away? (choir singing this)
 
Otherwise
I'd say that I'd do it all again
But I don't believe in regrets
I'd say that I'd learned my lesson well
But what I have learned I forget
Not very studios, I suppose
I'm a lunatic, and no one knows
da das

CHORUS:
Good bad or otherwise I'll stay here, won't compromise
I hope to grow more crazy every day
Cause if we're lucky our eighty years aren't wasted on stupid fears
May your every imperfection keep you brave

I'd say that I'd always had a plan
But I'd much prefer to tell the truth
I'd swear I won't screw this up again
But then I might break a promise too
You're so paranoid and concerned
If we don't make mistakes
We'll never learn
da das

CHORUS:
Good bad or otherwise I'll stay here, won't compromise
I hope to grow more crazy every day
Cause if we're lucky our eighty years aren't wasted on stupid fears
May your every imperfection keep you brave

Consequences bring it on
For I've been expecting you to come
But it doesn't change a thing
No it doesn't change a thing
