'Killing Time Blues' The time I kill is killing me, I feel time ripens all things. I locked my soul inside and lost the key, But time reveals all mysteries. Why die before time stops your heart, Live on don’t be a fool. And though time tears everything apart, It’s the fire and you’re the fuel. We’ve never walked in so much gloom, And time it takes its toll. How did it get so bad so soon? Do we fight or let it go? And oh I know the lesson’s cruel, But you’ve gotta take it on. It’s something you’ll carry with you, Whether you want it or not. Do we fight or let it go? Do we fight or let it go?!!! The time I kill is killing me! The time I kill is killing me!!! Time don’t change it’s us that does, Time's the one that stays the same. It slips through the fingers like gold dust, And it can never be reclaimed. It doesn’t change but unfolds us Like a swirling vortex. You’ll never understand it, It’s just far too complex. And when the clock struck 12 again, You tried to throw it away. Afraid of what it said to you, Lost time can’t be reclaimed. You don’t have time to do it right, You waste time doing it over. The future's made at the speed of light, You can’t make it any slower, No you can’t make it any slower, No you can’t make it any slower! Do we fight or let it go? Do we fight or let it go?!!! The time I kill is killing me! The time I kill is killing me!!! Do we fight or let it go? Do we fight or let it go?!!! The time I kill is killing me! The time I kill is killing me!!!

‘Need for Speed’ Driving too fast on an ever winding road Heading to my Destiny the feeling grows Separation is depressing me But we made it through the hardest part! I don’t need no brakes They’re not for men like me Why’d I want to slow down When I feel so free? Riding too fast on an ever winding road Life threw another curve ball, but I will not slow Cliff to my right, drop to my left The engine roaring underneath It belonged to a better man, But he still lives on, I’ll see to that! I don’t need no brakes They’re not for men like me Why’d I want to slow down When I feel so free? Now, I’m skiing too fast on an icy slope They said to stay away, or else abandon hope A few good lives have lost the battle here before But I don’t listen to their pointless pleas I don’t listen, no, and I won’t appease! I don’t need no brakes They’re not for men like me Why’d I want to slow down When I feel so free? My whole life was a fast and ever winding road Should I have taken different vows and somewhat slowed? No, I’d never slow for anyone that’s not like me! I’m the spirit of speed I’m the spirit of speed I’m the spirit of speed I’m the spirit of speed I’m the spirit of speed I’m the spirit of speed I’m the spirit of speed I’m the spirit of speed

'Stolen Souls’ Song' Music of my generation It sounds like noise to me An insane Bloody Mary lullaby, A B-list horror movie soundboard Its all the same to me And all my heroes have just up and died. This is the music of empty heads, This is the music of broken hearts, This is the music of stolen souls, This is the music of shattered guitars. We watch superhero movies Fighting villains in a war, Binge on shows that run forever About sex, drugs, horror and gore, Consume stupid little memes That are made for kids with ADD, Gamers with millions of views From teens with nothing better to see. These are the movies for empty heads, These are the movies for broken hearts, These are the movies for stolen souls, Watched through the shattered glass. We waste time like we live forever, We do drugs like we’ll always be young. Our parents are totally clueless, They’re undead with brains of unborn. Last generations cut off big pieces, They left only scattered crumbs, Global warming, wars & pollution. We’ll have to sort it all out, at last. We’re a generation of empty heads, Generation of broken hearts, Generation of stolen souls, And impossible tasks. Impossible tasks…

'Cutting off the branch' I’m a shark that’s way out at sea I value nothing more than my privacy I feel my best whenever I'm alone I'm cutting off the branch that I'm sitting on She sits at home while he earns a lot She doesn't even appreciate what she’s got She'd spend her last coin on some shoes and clothes She’s cutting off the branch that she's sitting on He has a few beers for lunch at work He’s got it made now, he gets this perk But then he goes to a bar for more He’s cutting off the branch that he’s sitting on So many people, so many cars They make us think that we've come so far Who cares of traffic or the fuel we burn? We're cutting off the branch that we're sitting on The oceans are too small for our mistakes I don't know how much more of us it can take The rich are making billions from all these wars They're cutting off the branch that we're sitting on The young will inherit all these problems now It’s up to them to fix our mistakes somehow Won't even get a chance to be kids for real We're cutting off the branch that they're sitting on I'm cutting off the branch that I'm sitting on She's cutting off the branch that she's sitting on He's cutting off the branch that he's sitting on We're cutting off the branch that we're sitting on we're sitting on You’re cutting off the branch that you're sitting on You’re cutting off the branch that you're sitting on You’re cutting off the branch that you're sitting on You’re cutting off the branch that you're sitting on

‘Halloween Horror Store’ La-la-la--- la-la-la--- La-la-la--- la-la-la--- La-la-la--- la-la-la--- La-la-la--- la-la-la--- A family was walking in San Diego downtown, Looking left and right and having a lot of fun. An attractive mommy, two kids and a man, They wanted a good time on a fine weekend. It was a middle of October, the weather was great. They already ate their dinner, ice cream and cake. Ready for some fun, kids were getting bored When they saw a door to this very special store. ‘Welcome to our Halloween store, We've got all you need and more. Try on costumes, try on masks, They have power for magic tasks.’ They started trying-on many different clothes, Dad wanna be the Superman, it was an easy choice. Mom picked a nice outfit of a scary witch, The daughter chose a zombie & made a zombie screech. Their son wanna be a vampire, such a noble choice, Then Mom has changed her mind for a werewolf. They were dancing around when they heard the bell. A wizard walked into the store & made a spell. ‘Welcome to our Halloween store, We've got all you need and more. Try on costumes, try on masks, They have power for magic tasks.’ Suddenly, Mom & kids have gotten changed, Their bodies and their faces got rearranged. They’ve grown big fangs and sharp scary claws, And started chasing Dad to test their jaws. Dad tried to fly away like the real Superman, But he hasn't turned, the costume didn't help. The wizard laughed aloud: “It's not going to fly, Superman is fictional, the magic won't apply!” ‘Welcome to our Halloween store, We've got all you need and more. Try on costumes, try on masks, They have power for magic tasks.’ In a few minutes the poor Daddy was gone, Three terrible creatures were raging around, They slipped-out into San Diego night, Dad's lifeless body started moving left & right. The wizard was amused, he kept shaking his head: “You’re so lucky, dude, you should’ve been dead. You’ve bitten by a zombie, a vampire, a werewolf, You became the monstrous mixture of them all...” ‘Welcome to our Halloween store, We've got all you need and more. Try on costumes, try on masks, They have power for magic tasks.’

After third date they travelled to Vegas and got married in an old Church, Steve was surprised by Mary’s strange vows, wasn’t sure what to do about that: ‘For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness, in health. After I’m gone, I’ll keep haunting your soul I’ll still be with you, that’s our endless bond. You’ll always be mine; you’ll never be cheating, cause I stand forever behind. We are pronounced husband and wife, now, it’s time to kiss your lovely bride.’ Their honeymoon was nearly perfect, she was a great and wonderful wife, Steve Casanova was on cloud nine until one night her words hurt like a knife. ‘Steven, you are the love of my life and I promised forever with you, But I must leave you, I’m very ill and my time on Earth is overdue.’ ‘For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness, in health. After I’m gone, I’ll keep haunting your soul I’ll still be with you, that’s our endless bond. You’ll always be mine; I’m there in your sleep; we’ll be in love like I’m alive. We’re forever husband and wife, now it’s time to kiss your lovely bride.’ They fell back asleep, Steve didn’t believe her, he thought she was playing a joke, Next morning, he found her lifeless body, Steve left feeling cheated and broke. He cried like a kid at her elegant funeral, but his life was not as it may seem, Cause every night he was still happy spending time with Mary in his dreams. ‘For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness, in health. After I’m gone, I’ll keep haunting your soul I’ll still be with you, that’s our endless bond. You’ll always be mine; I’m there in your sleep; we’ll be together like I’m alive. We’re forever husband and wife, now it’s time to kiss your lovely bride.’ And ever since Steve was happy and weird, living in love with his wife in his dreams, He was successful, he was fulfilled until one night his spouse said to him: ‘Steven, you were the love of my life and I promised I forever be with you, But you’ve fallen behind, I love somebody else and our time together is long overdue.’ ‘For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness, in health. After my death I kept haunting your soul cause I’m the bloody Mary, it’s my selfish hold. I’m done with you, I’m in love with Dracula, I’m letting you go, Let’s be mature about my leaving, come to our wedding, it will be classy and neat.’ ‘For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, till death and beyond. After I’m gone, I’ll haunt Dracula’s soul I’ll always be with him, that’s our endless bond. He’ll always be mine; he’ll never be cheating cause I stand forever behind. We’ll be pronounced husband and wife, and it’ll be time to bite his bride.’

‘Skiing with the Monsters’ I'm an avid skier, I love fast and steep slopes, I'm also a hopeless dreamer, I dream of better worlds... I skied all over the country, I've got bored with the local choice. It was time to do something different, When I heard in my head Holly voice. Let's go and ski with the monsters, We'll be kicking butts of the locals, Let's go and ski with the monsters, Monsters of snow! We all got together To discuss where we will go, Which place has a better weather, Which place has better snow. We spoke of Himalayas, We spoke of Andes charms, We spoke of Caucasus, But we all wanted to go to the Alps. I'll be skiing in the Alps with the monsters, We'll be kicking butts of the locals, I'll be skiing in the Alps with the monsters, Monsters of snow! Our crew was very different From anyone around, All local territories Experienced the fright. Vampire, bloody Mary and zombie Appeared out of the fog Followed by your truly, Then headless snowboarder and her service dog. I'm skiing in the Alps with the monsters, We are taking scalps of the locals, I'm skiing in the Alps with the monsters, Monsters of snow! Vampire was very thirsty, He drank up all local beer, Bloody Mary was so artsy, She colored slopes in red and pink. Zombie was very scary, He kept biting local cops Headless snowboarder and her service dog All the time kept getting lost. I'm skiing in the Alps with the monsters, We are taking scalps of the locals, I'm skiing in the Alps with the monsters, Monsters of snow! Are you lonely? Are you looking For a challenge? Would you like to meet A new cool charming friend? Are you a monster deep inside? Then join our team, We'll have your back till the bitter end!!! You'll be skiing in the Alps with the monsters, You'll be kicking butts of the locals, You'll be skiing in the Alps with the monsters, Monsters of snow! I was skiing in the Alps with the monsters, I was kicking butts of the locals, I was skiing in the Alps with the monsters, Monsters of snow!

'Halloween Dreams' My-y-y H –- O –-- P ----------- S, My-y-y H –- O –-- P ----------- S. I was uneducated, I lived in Arizona, I didn’t mind the heat; I always drank Corona. Then, I ended up for Halloween in San Diego. It caused a strange result; I wholly changed my credo. My urban classy friends took me far and wide around, Mostly to the places where some culture could be found: Pizza Port, Karl Strauss, Green Flash, Legacy, Culture, Ballast Point, Latitude 33, Stone, Alpine, Gordon Biersch, Rough Draft, Blind Lady, Draft Republic, Bottle Craft! Culture, Pizza Port, Modern Times, Rough Draft, Blind Lady, Draft Republic, Bottle Craft! My-y-y Halloween Dre-e-e-a-m-s, My-y-y Halloween Ho-o-o-pes.

I quickly had to learn a lot of useful stuff, Pilsner is good for breakfast, for lunch enjoy a Stout. For dinner have some Belgian Style, Pale Ale is fine for snack, All day have fun with IPAs but take a Blond to bed. It’s called a liquid diet, it is healthy and it’s fun, Doctors recommend it, rock stars do all the time. You’ll be healthy, wealthy, strong, beautiful and smart, You’ll find new friends; and you’ll get laid if she’s really drunk! Culture, Pizza Port, Modern Times, Rough Draft, Blind Lady, Draft Republic, Bottle Craft! Culture, Pizza Port, Modern Times, Rough Draft, Blind Lady, Draft Republic, Bottle Craft!

I moved to San Diego to fulfill my vivid dreams, I became a scientist, got trained as a chemist. Take some malted barley, a bit of other grains, Add yeast for fermentation of style-specific strains, A lot of clear water, don’t worry about the drought, Don’t forget the hops, it’s mad science not a craft. You also need to stay on top of all other people art, You must consume some liquid gold to get a good result. Culture, Pizza Port, Modern Times, Rough Draft, Blind Lady, Draft Republic, Bottle Craft!

It’s also great if you enjoy some other things in town, Liquid diet’s for Halloween not whole year around. There is a beach, an ocean, parks and art in San Diego No need to be a creepy drunk, it’s a city not a ghetto. You can surf and swim and sail and fish here most of time. You can run, or hike, or cycle, you can even climb. Take a ride in a hot balloon or glide on a parasail, First have fun and then enjoy your Stout or Pale Ale.

'Killing Time Rap' The time I kill is killing me, I feel that time ripens all things. I locked my soul and lost the key, With time reveal the mysteries. The time I kill is killing me! The time I kill is killing me! The time I kill … is killing me!!! Time is the fire you are the fuel. Live on, it's smart, don't be a fool. Why die before time stops your heart? A cruel lesson, time tears us apart. The time you kill is killing you! The time you kill is killing you! The time you kill … is killing you!!! Our times have never been so gloom, How did it get so bad so soon? Walk off Earth, time takes its toll. You get no choice, its the way it goes. The time we kill will kill us all! The time we kill will kill us all! The time we kill … will kill us all! Time doesn't change us. It unfolds us, Time is some kind of swirling vortex. Time is the gold that we all chasing, Shoot our own foot, cuz we just waste it. The time we kill is always lost! The time we kill is always lost! The time we kill … is always lost!!! And when the clock has talked aloud. You threw it, cuz you're often proud. Afraid of what it spoke about. Its lost time now, that's never found. The time you lost is your time out! The time you lost is never found! The time you lost … is never found!!!! You don't have time to do it right, Spend too much time doing it slower. The future's made with the speed of light No time for you to do it over. Time's not your friend, time's not your lover! Time's not your friend, time's not your lover! Time's not your friend, ... time's not your lover!!! Time has no powers over Love. Love only towers on top of time. We hear heart's echoes from above, Love is divine, shines in the sky. Don't let true Love just pass you by! Don't let true Love just pass you by! True Love is always … worth a fight!!! You're locked up in a cage with time, It's a rigged fight, the gun is primed. When you knocked down don't lose your mind, Just savor life and try to thrive. The time you live is winning time! The time you love is winning time! The time you fight … is winning time!!!

'Seeing Things' I used to be a golden boy up in a Golden State, I had a lot of cool stuff, make no mistakes. Parents got me a Mercedes for having perfect grades. It was fully loaded baby, I rode it, starting crusades. Cause I wanted to see things that are not there, Yes, I wanted to see things that are not there, And I started seeing things that are not there, Hey, I started seeing things that are not there. I fell out of favor with my parents very fast. And the money that I saved, it didn't even last. I crashed my Mercedes into my parents’ house, The car & house in flames & I'm to blame no doubt. But I was seeing things that are not there, Yes, I was seeing things that are not there, I was seeing things that are not there, Hey, I was seeing things that are not there. I was seeing evil, and I was seeing good. I've been terrified, and I been really moved. I looked for Holy water in the nearest Church, I found my disciples up in this endless search. And I kept seeing things that are not there, I kept seeing things that are not there, Yes, I kept seeing things that are not there, Hey, I kept seeing things that are not there. I have performed miracles, disciples were impressed, I pulled money out of thin air, moved trains without rails. I was preaching my religion to the left and to the right, I was a new Messiah, until my high left me behind. But I was still seeing things that are not there, I was still seeing things that are not there, I was seeing things that are not there, Hey, I was seeing things that are not there. My crash was very painful, nightmares became my life. My body just kept hurting, and now I couldn't fly. Disciples disappeared somehow, after stealing my stuff. I got locked up in a loony house, cause my parents had enough! And I was seeing things that are not there, I was seeing things that are not there, I was still seeing things that are not there, Hey, I was seeing thing that are not there. And I have tried to rebel, I have tried to fight, All I got was some butt juice, & some more meds to bite. I was put in the straight jacket, to help me to relax. All I got was a prison, my balls in a vice, smashed. And I stopped seeing things that are not there, I stopped seeing things that are not there, Yes, I stopped seeing things that are not there, Hey, I stopped seeing things that are not there. Now back with my parents, they lock me up all the time. No cash, no entertainment, no car, freedom, or fun. Why? At least, they feed me well enough, I have a place to sleep, But when I'm 18 they'll kick me out. For my horrible deeds. That I've done, while seeing things that are not there, Lost myself gone, to see things that are not there, I screwed my life welp, to see things that are not there. Hey, I screwed myself, to see things that are not there...

'Point of No Return' He is a solo climber, he's climbing a big wall, He has no rope & no gear, and he's alone ya'll. The wall is very steep, the route is very tough, No margin for error, so he keeps climbing up. He must get to the top, it’s what the man yearns. He can't afford to fall, he's on a point of no return, It is his point of no return, his point of no return, Too far to go back, word, it’s the point of no return. She is a snowboarder, she's on a top of a peak, Doing a double diamond, showing off her technique. Rocks are sticking out, through the icy snow. Wind chills her bones, her scared friends right below. The slope is too steep, the snow is too firm, And now she in too deep, she's on a point of no return. It is her point of no return, her point of no return, Too far to go back, word, it’s the point of no return. He is a crazy biker see, he loves winding roads, He favors his Ducati, over family, friends & love. He calls his motorcycle “Fun between my legs”. When he takes a ride, he thinks it's better than sex. He's riding too fast, ahead is a sharp turn, Didn't let off the gas, now at a point of no return. His point of no return, his point of no return. Too far to go back, word, it’s the point of no return. She is a big wave surfer, looking for a swell, Wants to catch a Maverick, & surf it down to hell. Bigs aren't just for boys, she rides the biggest wave, Will she be on magazines, or fish food in a grave? Waves are tall & strong, rip currents are worse, Should’ve called it off, she's on a point of no return. Her point of no return, it’s her point of no return. Too far to go back, word, it’s the point of no return. Four teens in a ride, driving faster than the speed limit. None have a driver's license, all smoking weed in it. Stole the car from a neighbor, Porsche expensive, fast, Police catching them of course, The fun is not gunna last. Sirens are wailing, blue and red lights alert. It’s too late to bail, man, it's their point of no return, Their point of no return, it’s their point of no return. Too far to go back, word, it’s the point of no return. Often, we risk without reason, Sometimes, we risk for a cause, Many are brave or just stupid, Some heroes, some outlaws. The World is on a path of destruction: Global warming, hunger and war at its worst. Everyone wants a piece of a fortune, All together we're destroying our Earth. Once you are born, time forever turns, No way to go back, we're on a point of no return. We treated Earth like dirt, it’s the point of no return. We didn’t make the World work, It’s the point of no return. It’s our point of no return, our point of no return. Too far to go back, word, it’s the point of no return. It’s our point of no return, our point of no return. Too far to go back, word, it’s the point of no return. It’s our point of no return, our point of no return. Too far to go back, word, it’s the point of no return. It’s our point of no return, our point of no return. Too far to go back, word, it’s the point of no return.

'It's Time, Time, Time to Party' I wake up late tonight, it is already dark, There is a full moon above, it's time to go out. I put on my torn blue jeans and classy black shoes, I'm rocking a tie, I'm showing off my tattoos. Time, time, time to go out, it is time to go out. It is time to party! I'm placing a Fedora on my shiny head, I look like a pimp or like a stylish undead. I drive fast my Mercedes E Sixty Three AMG, Got five hundred horse powers, it is fun, don't you see. Time, time, time to drive fast, it is time to drive fast. It is time to party! At last, I'm in a club, the hall is very dark, I'm still wearing my shades, yeh, I'm a movie star. I'm led to a VIP room by three pretty dames. Now, it's a perfect time to show them my sharp fangs. Time, time, time to show fangs, it is time to show fangs. It is time to party! At first, these stunning ladies got awfully scared, Next, my knavery glamour made their brains so impaired. They enjoyed a lot my sucking on their tiny necks, Then they started sharing me bringing along all their friends. Time, time, time to suck blood, it is time to suck blood. It is time to party! This party has been going on for really long time, And I got very full, plus I got very very tired. But ladies kept coming asking me to bite them too, My fangs were getting dull, thus, way-away I flew. Time, time, it is time to get out, it is time to flight out, I'm done with this party!

'Killing Time Grunge' The time I kill is killing me, I feel that time ripens all things. I locked my soul and lost the key, With time all mysteries revealed. The time I kill is killing me! The time I kill is killing me! The time I kill … is killing me!!! Why die before time stops your heart? Live on, it's smart, don't be a fool. Time is the fire you are the fuel. The lesson's cruel, time tears us apart. The time you kill is killing you! The time you kill is killing you! The time you kill … is killing you!!! Our times have never been so gloom, Walk off the Earth, time takes its toll. Whether you want it too or not, How did it get so bad so soon? The time we kill will kill us all! The time we kill will kill us all! The time we kill … will kill us all! Time doesn't change us. It unfolds us. Time is some kind of swirling vortex Time is the gold that we want most, Shoot your own foot, we use it worst. The time we kill is always lost! The time we kill is always lost! The time we kill … is always lost!!! And when the clock has talked aloud. You threw it like a rock away, Afraid of what it spoke about. Lost time that's never found again. The time you lost is your time out! The time you lost is never found! The time you lost … is never found!!!! You don't have time to do it right, You spend more time doing it over. The future's made with the speed of light Sixty minutes an hour slower. Time's not your friend, time's not your lover! Time's not your friend, time's not your lover! Time's not your friend, ... time's not your lover!!! Time has no powers over Love. Love only towers on top of time. We hear heart's echoes from above, Love is divine, shines in the sky. Don't let true Love to pass you by! Don't let true Love to pass you by! True Love is always … worth a fight!!! You're locked up in a cage with time, It's a rigged fight, the gun is primed. When you knocked down don't lose your mind, Just savor life and try to thrive. The time you live is winning time! The time you love is winning time! The time you fight … is winning time!!!

Halloween Hopes San Diego, California

Hello,
I'm Halloween Hopes, an indie songwriter from San Diego, California: open.spotify.com/artist/1rcXxHCP3SBSfhXYjqphXi
I have unusual flow of writing. A song starts with some Hip Hop poetry, then it takes over and gets life of its own turning into rock, metal, pop, punk, ballad or staying a rap banger. Next, I try to pick musicians that are the best for the song. Let's kill some time!
