bookmark_borderThick Rhetoric

LYRICS
The ship of our see
Heading toward tragedy
Over the falls
Building of walls
Thick rhetoric
Making us sick
Speaking in forked tongues
Of bogus battles won
Best at beating our chests
For poisoning our lungs
Won and done
’till our did
Is diddly squat
’till our did
Is not
Thick rhetoric
Making us sick

bookmark_borderRingside

LYRICS
Of all the low down dirty
Looks like the gloves are off
Heard it from a lil’ birdy
Sad tale of flame and moth
A question for you
Have ya really thought this one through?

A yellow-bellied pansy
Against a chicken gone crazy
A ruby-throated zombie
Thrown in as referee
A question for you
Have ya really thought this one through?

Front row ringside
Watching fate collide
Now something you’ve come to know
The need to wear a gore poncho
A question for you
Have ya really thought this one through?

LYRICS
Into the trees
One as the breeze
Gravity’s destiny
Stickin’ in the friction
Can’t change to blow it (know it)
In the wind
Transcend
Into the wind
Into, too
In the wind
While with
The wind

The blow goes with the flow
The blow is the flow
TO know the flow
The flow to know
Goes with the blow
Which way the wind blows

LYRICS
Well, what have we…
What have we…
What have we here
What?
Hear

When my innards get out
And, outside gets in
When there is no doubt
About the thickness of my skin
After “The End” begins
It gets late for realizing
Life is surprising
Take it

LYRICS
Don’t know when I’ll be back
Going off on a fact-check
That the heck?
So, I’ll ask you
How long to view
For what is true
When there’s no truth
What’s my time worth?

Don’t know when I’ll be back
Going off on a fact-check
That the heck?
Your power to deceive
Your prowess in deceit
For what it’s worth
To speak the truth

Going off on a fact-check
Don’t know when I’ll be back

LYRICS
The overgrowth you’re fearing
I’ll meet you in the clearing
A beginning is nearing
Soon
The overbearing feeling
Sends real-ing reeling
I’ll bring you mental healing
Soon
Rise above the ruin
No matter what you’re doin’
We’ll play a different tune
Real soon (See you soon / None to soon)

The overgrowth’s ensnaring
Tender love and caring
The beginning is nearing
Soon
The overwhelming feeling
Sends real-ing reeling
I’ll meet you in the clearing
Soon
Rise above the ruin
No matter what you’re doin’
We’ll play a different tune
Real soon (See you soon / None to soon)

LYRICS
Do not look into the laser
With the remaining eye
Do not look again
Where to begin
Do not look into the laser
With the remaining I

Brought with me
Free of all that’s me
Converted into pure energy
Granted, that’s hard to see
Still to catch this flight
Stare into the light

Brought with me
Free of all that’s me
Converted into pure energy
Granted, that’s hard to see
Still to catch this flight
Stare into the light
Aware
Into the light
There
Into the light
Care
Into the light
Share into the light

Do not look into the laser
With the remaining eye
Do not look again
Where to begin
Do not look into the laser
With the remaining I
Where to begin
There’s now ’till die
At least, for my remaining I

LYRICS
Get up at the crack of dawn
With my baby
Get up at the crack of dawn
Little lady
Running on and on
Into the rising sun

Well upon our way
By mid-day
Well upon our way
By mid-day
Running on and on
Under a high-noon sun

Coming to the end of the line
With my baby
Coming to the end of the line
Little lady
Running on and on….
Into the setting sun

LYRICS
And, here we come
Run far from dumb
Got sick of it
Run! Idiot!
What a crock of $hit
Throwing a hissy fit
Sorry, I’ve got to run
’cause this surely ain’t no fun

And, here we go
Gotta run to know
Far from that crap
No… don’t look back
Run toward the light
Strive for insight
Arrive in total bliss
’cause life’s blowing a kiss

And, here we go
Gotta run to know
All day and night
To make it right
Run toward the light
Strive for insight
Arrive in total bliss
’cause life’s blowing a kiss

LYRICS
Get in the swing
Getting in the swing
Spirit takes wing
Inner happening
Into the swing
All around
Space is found
No harness to hold you down

Giving way
Starting to sway
Light of day
Along the way
All around
Space is found
No gravity to hold you down

LYRICS
Slip and fall… fell flat
So what?
I’m back
When am I going to learn
Don’t look back
The chance is going to burn
Under slack

Fell off my high horse
Of course
The worse
(chorus)

Down to the last yard
Push hard
Unmarred
Think I’ve come to learn
Don’t look back
The chance will never burn
Under slack

bookmark_borderThe Seed of Be

LYRICS
Take a little off the top
And give it to the bottom
Pretty soon, it all turns rotten
It all gets squishy along the soft underbelly
Remove the grasp from the throat
Less, alas
You feel the heart
Bet to the beat of your heartbeat
Or set yourself free
For eternity
Your entirety
Free

In a give and take relationship
The more one gives, the less one need take
The lessons… take
Be the seed of be
Being the being
Being the bean
Being the seed

LYRICS
Asteroid paranoid
Afraid an asteroid is headed home
Asteroid paranoid
A meteor to meet all with doom?
I’m more for grabbing a comet’s tail
For a ride with the stars… a solar sail
Across the universe
Then, into reverse

All souls
Black holes
Afraid of crossin’ the event horizon
All souls
Black holes
The bell will toll and all be done?
I’m more for grabbing a comet’s tail
For a ride with the stars… a solar sail
Across the universe
Then, into reverse

LYRICS
Made a pass at the low hanging fruit
Found a bandit stole the loot
Of all the nerve
What sort of perv
Would be so brazen
Our hazy horizon
In our house of mirrors
Peering at our peers
Appears the lust is within us

Finders keepers
Losers weepers
Found a thief in the night
Outed in light
In our sights
Of all the nerve
What sort of perv
Would be so brazen
Our hazy horizon
In our house of mirrors
Peering at our peers
Appears the lust is within us
