Well, me and my mate are starting a new band called The Mark (that isn't official yet). We're loosely based off of Sublime/Slightly Stoopid/Pink Floyd/ The Beatles/John Lennon/Grateful Dead/Bob Marley. We're trying to combine the classic '60s/'70's/'80s with reggae, some techno, Dub style, and old hip-hops beats (it will sound tight as sh*t). I just wanted someone to critique my work and who weren't biased, so the BoSS
Forum popped right into head. Also, if you guys have any better band names, just post 'em here and it will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hillside Penitentiary

(Chorus)
There�s this house on the hill,
But how do we get there?
We�ve been to so many places,
Met so many distorted faces.
I'm in the beyond,
Yet I can correspond,
Me and these signs have a real strong bond.

The presence so real,
Outside the house stood the old automobile.
I looked to the right,
What a f*ckin' sight,
It was something so dark, still glowing so bright,
The souls inside were trapped,
Into the tree they will adapt,
No escape from hells fingers once you're entrapped.
Clawing at the earth,
Attempting to escape for what it is worth.

(Chorus)
There�s this house on the hill,
But how do we get there?
We�ve been to so many places,
Met so many distorted faces.
I'm in the beyond,
Yet I can correspond,
Me and these signs have a real strong bond.

Looking at the clouds,
I notice the crowds,
The spiritual beings, in them are singing so loud,
Now I'm on a farm,
The creatures unarmed,
I am a Puritan, and I'll stay unharmed.
All I need is some inspiration,
The herb, that sensimilla,
Grown �round the nation.
Just pass the tree,
And let your mind be free.
'Shrooms got me living my very own creations,
My heart's pacin'.

(Chorus)
There�s this house on the hill,
But how do we get there?
We�ve been to so many places,
Met so many distorted faces.
I'm in the beyond,
Yet I can correspond,
Me and these signs have a real strong bond.

Walkin� through our imagination,
Our mood changes, like a T.V. station.
The euphoric effects start to flee,
Your total is $2.23.
The fear of capture starts to take hold,
It�s like shooting up in a blindfold.
I think it�s time to call it a night,
Hit the Buddha, it will make everything alright.
The �shrooms have gone away,
But these memories will never sway.
Here�s a spark,
These are the smooth rhythms of The Mark.

(Chorus)
There�s this house on the hill,
But how do we get there?
We�ve been to so many places,
Met so many distorted faces.
I'm in the beyond,
Yet I can correspond,
Me and these signs have a real strong bond.

I said, me and these signs have a real strong bond.

� The Mark, 2008. Ronan Free, Thomas Detrick.

Just give me some feedback and tell me what you think, or if you have any questions about the song, feel free to ask.

By the way, it is based off of a 'shroom trip that I hate with my mate, if you didn't already guess. :-)
