LYRICS
Go on green
Know what I/you mean
Right on red
Heard what they/you said
Brain tell foot to hit the floor
Drain the energy in store

Go on green
Know what I/you mean
Right on red
Heard what they/you said
Brain tells stomach “accelerate”
Strain not to regurgitate

Go on green
Know what I/you mean
Right on red
Heard what they/you said
Brain forgot and let jaw drop
Hand is feeling how to prop

Go on green
Know what I/you mean
Right on red
Heard what they/you said
Brain see’s lights in the rearview
Heart’s racing. don’t know what to do

Go on green
Know what I/you mean
Right on red
Heard what they/you said
Brain, tell foot to hit the brake
Brain’s had all I can take

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can’t blame it all on those that came before
Just a generation… maybe one more
Perhaps the next one will save us
If we don’t put up a fuss
If we don’t put up a fight
Do what’s right
Shine the light

Can’t blame it all on those that came before
Just a generation… maybe one more
Perhaps the children will save you
Your heart will tell you true
When meek overthrows might
Do what’s right
Shine the light

Can’t blame it all on those that came before
Just a generation… maybe one more
Perhaps There’s youth still in you
A song and dance point-of-view
Feeling your brings on delight
All is right
Shine the light

LYRICS
Let go of the throttle

Hello? Are we going fast enough?
It’s time to let go
It’s time to ease off
Before your gaskets blow
Yo?!?!?!
Hello? Please check your speed
No time to doddle
Is it your longing to bleed?
Let go of the throttle
Just… let it go
Yo?!?!?
Hello? Is your pension to die
If so, so early… why?
Our fate is in your hands
Our fate is in our hands
Yet, who understands?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Forgiven for bubbling chagrin
For livin’, but can’t stop laughin’
Please don’t damn me, call it a sin
I’m not trying to be the class clown
The resident president of the class
I’m just sitting here trying to do the throw down
For a good time that lasts
(All time that pasts)

Forgiven for humbling pride
Take me, but not for a ride
Please don’t ask me to let it ride
I’m not trying to be the class clown
The resident president of the class
I’m just sitting here trying to do the throw down
For a good time that lasts
(All time that pasts)

I’ve risen, got off of the floor
I’m ready, I’m ready for more
Please come with me, so we can see
We’re not trying to be the class clowns
The resident presidents of the town
We’re just sitting here doing a throw down
Watching the future go past
Creating a lifetime that lasts

LYRICS
Worth the keep
Dig in deep

Found deep in the mind
All have roots to kind
At the core of all
Call it natural

Found deep down inside
Kindness does reside
At the core of all
It is beautiful

Found way deep within
Spark kindness… begin
At the core of all
It is wonderful

I heard you said
My soul is dead
Give me a jumpstart
Fire-up my heart
Give me a jumpstart

I heard you say
I don’t wanna play
Give me a jumpstart
Fire-up my heart
Give me a jumpstart

“Remote,” your quote
Can’t float my boat
Give me a jumpstart
Fire-up my heart
Give me a jumpstart

You scold and told
My heart’s grown cold
Give me a jumpstart
Fire-up my heart
Give me a jumpstart

LYRICS
I came upon a ramblin’ weed
Yes, indeed
She said, “I wish you would concede.”
Yes, indeed
Feed our flower

My ignorance begot regret
Better bet
Had to transfer my mindset
Better yet
Feed our flower
Our hour to shower
The power…
… of love

Best to call you by name I suppose?
On the nose
Are you Violet or are you Rose?
One of those?
Feed our flower
Our hour to shower
The power…
… of love

Things aren’t as bad as they may seem
Wake up!
Live the dream
Come see what I mean
Intensity hyper-sureen
Live the dream
Do you find the appeal
To it being real?

Be one with the beam
Lighting up the scene

Live the dream
A lifetime deal
Some call it a steal

LYRICS
What else is in store
Am dying for more
What could it be
Can’t wait to see
All blood and gore
Or a different door
Will sanity reign free?

Will tomorrow bring
Something interesting
Not easy to bore
Searching for more
Into philosophy
and society
Will sanity reign free?

Depending on you
To pull us through
Be the hero
To go net-zero
’cause we’re past the state
Of a climate debate
Will sanity to rain free!

LYRICS
Spring, sprang, sprung
Spring’s come undone
In yet another bummer
Forget about the summer
Just around the bend
Drawing to it’s end

Spring, sprang, sprung
Better make amends
For the Fall
The time of all times
Is going down, down, down
Just around the bend
Drawing to it’s end

Spring, sprang, sprung
Another year older
Another grade higher
As seasons get colder
Watching time transpire
Just around the bend
Drawing to it’s end

LYRICS
I’ve been thinking
Thinking about who I am
I’ve been thinking
Thinking ’bout where I’ve been
Did they mention
’bout reincarnation
… get to do it again?
All along the blind are leading
With crucifixes bleeding
(All along
Hymn, their song)

I’ve been thinking
Thinking about who I am
I’ve been thinking
Thinking ’bout where I’ve been
How ’bout salvation
n’ goin’ to heaven
… see immortality?
All along the blind are leading
With crucifixes bleeding
(All along
Hymn, their song)

I’ve been thinking
Thinking about who I am
I’ve been thinking
Thinking ’bout where I’ve been
I keep hearin’ people sayin’
“I’ve been born again”
Well then, what next?
Perplexed
All along the blind are leading
With crucifixes bleeding
(All along
Hymn, their song)

Hold back, hold back
Ability’s awful lean
I just can’t seem…
… to…
Hold back, hold back
I get that urge I’ve got to satisfy
Can’t satisfy no matter how I try
Am I choosing to die…
… and taking you, too?

Hold back, hold back
Ability’s awful lean
I just can’t seem…
… to…
Hold back, hold back
I guess you’d call it urge overkill
Immaturity in the skill
To discipline within
… and with you, too
Weeeeee

Hold back, hold back
Ability’s awful lean
I just can’t seem…
… to…
Hold back, hold back
That dark cloud that always looms
Consume, consume, consume
It’s clear for me to see
… me and you, too — we
Weeeeee
