bookmark_border7(11) = 13

LYRICS
Seven eleven
Six of one… half dozen of the other
Or thirteen?
Not sure what it means
Is 7(11) 13?
7(11) a blessing from heaven
Vs. lucky #13… some spell from hell
The sine of a standing wave swell
Where the texture
Of the sound is found
Picture
A piece of peace
Shared ’round

bookmark_borderGray Matter Splatter

LYRICS
Don’t ask which came first
Please don’t
“The chicken or the egg?”
Don’t say, “Break a leg!”
Please don’t (I beg)
Or my brain might burst
A gray matter splatter everywhere
Emptied skull lay bare
Ear to ear rushed full of air
No, there’s no membrane there

No “high or low road?”
Please no/know
“Which road do you take?”
Would have baked a cake
Please no/know
Or my head might explode
A gray matter splatter everywhere
Emptied skull lay bare
Ear to ear rushed full of air
No, there’s no membrane there

bookmark_borderInto The Light

LYRICS
Ready to take flight into the light
Take flight into the light
Take flight
Feeling light
A thought not that far remote
Not that far remote
Afloat
Gliding in the flow of the timing
Reason and rhyming
Getting in a tailwind
Effortless in a bliss
Blowing kisses

Define the fine art that’s gravity defying
No denying
Lifted like wings full sail that sings
Lift brings
Smooth sailing
Getting in a tailwind
Effortless in a bliss
Blowing kisses

LYRICS
Ride high into the sky
Say good-bye
Rise high into the sky
Wave good-bye
The best time of my life
In the memories lie
Forever in your memory
Remember me

Ride up high into the sky
Say good-bye
Rise up high into the sky
Wave good-bye
Forever now and more
I’m just a memory
Forever now before
Remember me

LYRICS
One of these things is not like the others
One of these things is unique
One of these things is not like the others
Tell me… what do you think?
Has the leopard changed his spots
I tend to think not
Is that horse in striped pajamas
Or a zebra gone bananas

Does it come as a great surprise
You’ve won the door prize
Open it if you choose
Close it… you lose

Does a horse of a different color
Start to make you holler
Does jellyfish come with peanut butter
Would it make you feel any better

LYRICS
When I was just a little boy
My Mom said, “You’re such a big boy”
Destined to be man
I am to be man

As I began to grow
Eventually, I came to know
The old soul I was
Because….

bookmark_borderTo Each His Own

LYRICS
And, to each his own
What do you own?
And, to each his own
What have you?
(You do you?)
The right might make might right
In their imagination
Don’t understand the slight of hand
In their concentration
As is the case of the off-base base
The lack of basic logic
Turned to sick bigot bull$hit
So thick
You’re up to your redneck in it
Do you even own your own body?
Somebody said “From whence you come”
Your remains will remain
In between is our own suspense
In between is our own essence
In between is our own existence
Own your own existence
(Get it while you can
… before been

LYRICS
Oh so glad to be here
Feel alive
Feel the warmth get near
Got to strive
Though it’s cold out here in space
Earth is hot for the human race

Maybe I’ll just orbit
Keep an eye
Spy the nasty habit
Will to die
Though it’s cold out here in space
Earth is hot for the human race

The pace of their race
Blind man’s game
Shall leave not a trace
Went from came
Though it’s cold out here in space
Earth is hot for the human race

bookmark_borderWish It

LYRICS
If ever there was a time
It is near
The “no reason, no rhyme”
Reigns with fear
Take from this place
Only your haste
Fore race on race
Leaves only waste
In your birthday suit
Arrived, you did
At the time, quite cute
So long… kid
I wish it wasn’t so
Wish they wouldn’t sow
Seeds of hate and rage
Bleeds too late
Hate out of the cage

LYRICS
Shall we go
Yes and know
Here we go
2 from fro
Keep your hands and feet
Inside the car
Remain in your seat
It gets bizarre
If things should get rough
Beyond a bumpy ride
Have to hang tough
It will subside
No need for despair
You know that I care
So are you aware
We’re almost there

LYRICS
V for victory
We’ll see
Victory of sanity
The scales of justice balance
A second glance
Laws of physics
Over the ills of sick
It never fails
Snakes eat their own tales
Bringing the wrath(s) of the gods
Down
Raining down
Reigning down
The Queen Nature
Surely reigns supreme
To mean:
Victory of sanity

bookmark_borderQuarantined for a Fortnight

LYRICS
Guaranteed
14 days of isolation
For spreading fear of contamination
Quarantined
For a fortnight
No life in sight
(Nor insight
Into life
… just strife)

See if I have the sickness
If I live or if I die
So if I have the sickness
You’ll know the reason why
I die

Better stay your distance
Till I’m mortuary evidence
Bringing us to the start
Of “Till death do us part”

LYRICS
If the dark is getting darker
You’re going the wrong way
Leave the here and now as a marker
You’ve found the way
(Once) led astray
(Now) found your way

Should the dread push toward dead
You’re going the wrong way
Where you with to sleep… you mad the bed
Not too late to turn dread to day
Today
Once… led astray
Now… found your way

LYRICS
Damn! In them thar hills
Lays the cure for all that ills
Going to make that mine all mine
From now till The End of Time
Headed for golden ore
Opened door
Tempting lure
On the quest for some more
Fell afoul to the core

Do you know what I mean?
Their grass is (always) more green
So, I’m going to search for gold
Till I grow tired, weary, and old
Headed for golden ore
Opened door
Tempting lure
On the quest for some more
Fell afoul to the core

LYRICS
Some magic place on this grand ole earth
There is a unicorn giving birth
Suckling rainbows and moonshine flows
With pretty maids all in a row
Why be mean and make fun of it
After all, look at all your bull$hit
Though shattered dreams
Shred reality’s seams
The dilemma of enigma

Some special place in this grand ole world
There is a fountain of youth… you never grow old
Get a new skin for living and living
Go back in time… begin again
Why be mean and make fun of it
After all, look at all your bull$hit
Though shattered dreams
Shred reality’s seams
The dilemma of enigma
