LYRICS
I think I’m starting to like the motivation
If the pain’s to gain appreciation
I must be departing form the stagnation
If it’s plain to gain appreciation
And we all get along
Falling in love with the same song

Are you starting to like the stimulation
To refrain from strain realization
Stimulate before it’s too late imagination
If it’s plain to gain appreciation
And we all get along
Falling in love with the same song

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
For smooth opporation
Up the calculation
Add smooth transition
Due to calibration
So the teeth of the gears combine
Spinning ’round to crank out time

For more satisfaction
Lube the operation
A smooth transaction
loss of the friction
And the teeth of the gears combine
Spinning ’round to crank out time

No grind distraction
A perfect interaction
For your attention
The main attraction
For the teeth of the gears combine
Spinning ’round to crank out time

LYRICS
If I had more, there’d be some for you
I checked my store… not much to do
I went there and the cupboard was bare
Said wasn’t fair… just stood there to stare
Always want what I haven’t got
Hard to flaunt? Wonder why not

I said before, there’d be none for you
Find the door… from fly to flew
Cup runneth over soon will discover
Never say never become a lover
Always want what I haven’t got
Hard to flaunt? Wonder why not

If we don’t know our right
From our left
Will it all be our wrong
Being deft… inept
IN spite of our spite
IF we don’t know what’s right?!?!
The light can’t get through
To shine over you
If that’s all you’re going to do
IF, and, or, but, nooooo
Know…
And/or yet

LYRICS
Slipped on the soap.. box…
… off… stopped the clocks
Well, you can’t just do as you please
If it invades any of these:
My pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness
Within my confines
The whereabouts of “mine”
But that doesn’t include over there…
In the public domain
Refrain while you remain
Don’t be rude
Don’t be a dope
On freedom’s slippery slope

Living within a snow globe
Shake it up… world turned cold
Don’t look now but the sky is falling
Should have paid heed to Mother Nature’s calling
Turned our snow globe upside down
Right side up it comes falling down

Life within a fragile globe
Shook up world turned cold
Don’t look now but the sky is falling
Should have paid heed to Mother Nature’s calling
Turned our fragile world upside down
Right side up comes falling down

What’s today?
Have to see you later
On my way

LYRICS
If you want
You know we could
Do what we should
… for mankind
Not for want
We’ve done what we did
Left with squat
All is gone
Unhid
Out in plain view
For all of you
Plain view
From whence to thence
Has been
Bounce back again
Bounce back, bounce back higher
Aspire
How come what will become
Will become of me
The part of I that is be
Therefore
I am
I think?

bookmark_borderFigure It Out

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Trying to figure it out
What the fuss is about
Now that I see there is doubt
… in humanity

When You lose faith in your fellow man
It’s hard to try to be the best that you can

When we lose sight it’s just a man-made plan
Obvious to us we don’t give a god damn
When You lose faith in your fellow man
It’s hard to try to be the best that you can

When we lose self-respect can’t reflect
Habit of our habitat wreaked and wrecked
When You lose faith in your fellow man
It’s hard to try to be the best that you can

When we put hand in hand we can understand
How to be kind to our fellow man

LYRICS
Who are you now?
Changes somehow
Do you still reside
In the shell inside
(Hide in the hide)

Is it skin deep
Did your soul creep
Do you still reside
In the shell inside
(Hide in the hide)

Is the heart true
Is that still you?
Do you still reside
In the shell inside
(Hide in the hide)

Yet, no regret
Did you forget
To the letter
Are you better?

LYRICS
So, on the outside chance
Know if there’s still romance
Love at such a distance
Meets with such resistance
A life sentence

So, do you know the odds
Know ya gotta summon the gods
Love at such a distance
Meets with such resistance
A life sentence

Blow the winds of change
Know that life is strange
Love at such a distance
Meets with such resistance
A life sentence

LYRICS
In the heat of the moment
Of passion causing crime
To the beat of the movement
Shouting it’s about time
Can you hear reckoning coming
Feel the heat of marching feet
They say every dog has it’s day
’til hubris and nemesis meet
Has it really come to this?!?!?
Nemesis,
Has it really come to this?
