LYRICS
Physics debate: negate hate?
Collapse of synapse
A blackhole stole your soul

The bargains in your basement
Are the toys in your attic
Again and again with disparagement
Enough to cut you to the quick

Chip off the old blockhead
Rest my case… put to bed
If you ask me
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree

Really no treat in the heat
Still tryin’ to learn concern
A homicide of the whole inside
Sacrificed soul to the blackhole

LYRICS
Please, please won’t you spell it for me: L. O. V. E.
Love me in the morning
Love me without warning
Love me in the evening
Love me without reasoning

Please, please won’t you spell it for me: L. O. V. E.
I can see
That it’s meant to be
The certainty
Of love eternally

Please, please won’t you spell it for me: L. O. V. E.
Love me all the day
Love me all the way
Love me through the night
Love with all our might

LYRICS
Hard to tell (Witch’s spell?)
But it looks like a groundswell
Mountain.. I’m talkin’ mountain
Mountain out of a molehill

Hundred percent chance
Of wearing an avalanche

I’m sure hopin’ you’re wearin’
Mighty big shoes to fill
It won’t be long ’til you’re gone
And, this avalanche could kill

So, choose to donate your shoes
For us to fill them in again
A second chance from this avalanche
And escape the hell of your groundswell

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Going old school
For whom does the bell toll?
Meanwhile a child will smile
Everything will yearn to turn

Do you want a burdensome load
To carry to the end of your road?

Do you want to live in “#uck it!”
’till you kick the bucket?

Do you know why “we’re all gonna die”?
Is Promised Land pie-in-the-sky?

Pushing up daisies more than a maybe
From a man to a stardust baby

Everything will yearn to turn
Everybody will churn
Every body everywhere
Everybody every where

LYRICS
I’m unsure about time capture
Is time something you can store
Am I a time capsule
In continuum on patrol

They say time The Avenger
Will make you a stranger
Foregone unknown into the future
Quick! Capture your soul with a picture

I’m not sure about saving time
The sands of time are too fine
Can’t keep them in an hourglass
Through the glass they pass

If a stitch in time saves nine
What about the tenth?
Are you going to save what’s mine
If so, at what length?

Can you save your life
Be immortality
Can you save your life
Be invincibility

LYRICS
Did you ever wonder:
How much more is in store?
Wake-up in the morning and walk out the door
How much more is in store?
I suppose I’m
A quantity of quality time

Did you ever wonder:
How much more you’ll endure?
Do you suppose time is measured, too?

With gravity I see we gravitate
From before to too late
As suggestion, a question:
Why would I want to wait?
Take advantage of having weight
Before the liquidation
Before we liquidate
Do you ask the question?

LYRICS
The way you wiggle
Love the lines you scribble
An art critic from the New York Times
Says your “lines are mighty fine”

The way you wiggle
Love the lines you scribble
At the very least a masterpiece
… like Picasso or Van Gogh
You know… Picasso or Van Gogh?

The way you wiggle
Love the lines you scribble
The parallel symmetry
It really, really gets to me

I am thinking museum
Quality obviously
I can see clearly
Your name on the marquee

LYRICS
What a beautiful beauty full view
With the sky sky-blue
What a beautiful beauty full view
To enjoy with you

Seeing with ears
Hearing with heart
Wonder who hears Her calling your part
Touched by thought
No taste goes to waste
Can you taste fulfilling your part

Sure a beautiful… beauty full of you
With your love… love true through
Sure a beautiful… beauty full of you
To share the view

Soul so beautiful
Beauty full soul
See beauty being set free
Soul so beautiful
Beauty full soul
In totality

LYRICS
Look around for the downpour
Reigning down on the poor
Poor bastards can’t take it any more
Look around for the downtrodden
Being ruled by the rotten
Poor bastards all but forgotten
The authority isn’t right by me
See the “blind eye” so clearly
An elixir for the grifter
Disrupting harmony
The authority isn’t right by me
See the “blind eye” so clearly
Watch him shake and break until nobody’s free

We’re found in the downpour
Raining down on our core
Rich bastards getting cleansed for sure
We’re found with the upbeat
Singing voices… dancing feet
Shuffle play and repeat

LYRICS
Almost saw a ghost
Lost soul
Should have been toast
Almost saw a ghost
Life’s toll
Nemesis of boast
This is the Nemesis

Why don’t you confess
Your mess
Live like a pig
Now you are a ghost
At most
Body pillage… not so big
This is the Nemesis

Almost saw a ghost
Lost soul
Spirited roast
Almost saw a ghost
Life’s toll
Nemesis of “most”
This is the Nemesis

Almost saw a ghost
Lifeless host
Death on two legs
Almost saw a ghost
Heartless host
The question begs
Who is you Nemesis?
This is your Nemesis

LYRICS
Whenever I see you passing by
You bow you’re head when you say “hi”
I’m confident in your confidence
And the beauty of your essence

I don’t know why you’re still bashful
I don’t know why you’re so shy
Can you tell it’s time to come out of you shell
Time to make the choice to raise your voice

Whenever I pass you on the street
You greet like we never did meet
Then, after a short while
You’re wearing the widest smile

I bet if you try to sing
That’d cure just about everything
Then, by chance if you start to dance
You might swing into a new romance

LYRICS
The wind came and blew my money
The wind came and blew my money
I swear, Lord
The wind came and blew my money away
Save me from this day

Working all day to collect some pay
More misfortune came my way
Born a blues tune on this day
It ain’t funny
The wind came and blew my money
The wind came and blew my money
The wind came and blew my money away
Hey! No way
Blew it under my feet
Out onto the street
And it made me shutter
Watching if fall into the gutter
Wind, I’m begging you
Please blow me away, too
To a land where we land together
Living happily forever and ever

LYRICS
Is this your last summer break
Before you move along?
Why not take all you can take
At being nimble and strong
Make the best of the rest
Preparing for your test
No more lax school rules
Survival of the fittest
It’s survival of the fittest

The last summer vacation
Before moving on
Part of life’s station-to-station
Knowledge is never done

Education’s on summer recess
Prepared to confess
Time is not useless
Let’s start the progress

No vacation from graduation

Big heap, Love, love deep
Figure out how to let her out
Figure out about deep love

LYRICS
Minimum wage, drinking age
Paragraph 1a), first page
It’s a…
Mixed-up bureaucracy betwixt hypocrisy
Fix is in conspiracy
So, corrupt I can see
(From see to slithering see)

Busking permit, speed limit
Paragraph 1a), original edit
Mixed-up bureaucracy betwixt hypocrisy
Fix is in conspiracy
So, corrupt I can see

Do not enter, do not loiter
Paragraph 1a) to the letter
Mixed-up bureaucracy betwixt hypocrisy
Fix is in conspiracy
So, corrupt I can see
Indeed,
You need a permit to read the permit to read, indeed.

Cross at the green, not in-between*
*see the small print… do you know what I mean?
Mixed-up bureaucracy betwixt hypocrisy
Fix is in conspiracy
So, corrupt I can see

Law can’t bend, won’t amend
Signed, sealed, send… The End
