LYRICS
I can wait til later
To wrestle an alligator
I can wait for a while
To mess with a crocodile
Forget about destiny
It won’t get the best of me

I will gladly wait
To witness the pearly gate
Pray tell, my philosophy? Well,
Is to avoid hell
Forget about destiny
It won’t get the best of me

No, I can not wait
To participate
Pay no mind to fate
We can set our date
Forget about destiny
It won’t get the best of me

So, with the time we have left
Do you think that it’s best
That we partake and give
All the life there is to live?
Forget about destiny
It won’t get the best of me

LYRICS
The fear is gone
There’s nothing wrong
We’re all going to live
Dreamcatcher
Sky watcher
The mind is a sieve
If you’re ever feeling down
Feel free ’bout coming ’round
Magic fingers
Cure dead ringers
Don’t give up
You’ve come this far
Don’t give up
You’re under par
You can see
Where you want to be
(Of course for the course)
You’ve made it through the “worse”
You deserve the purse
Feeling fine
Crossing the finish line

LYRICS
It’s been such a long time coming
Feels like I’ve been waiting all my life
It’s been such a long time waiting
Getting you into my life
Somehow
Do you wish you knew now
Do you wish you knew then
When
Is your life rife
With growing knowing?

LYRICS
So cruel
When you want to rule
The World
Control
The only goal
When you want to rule
The World
Here’s the thing
If your birth on Earth
Is to be her King
Relent
Your real worth
Paying rent
As servant

The fool
Who wants to rule
The world
Your gain is insane
When you want to rule the world
(chorus)

A mule
When you want to rule the world
Born stubborn
When you want to rule the world

LYRICS
Many a mile
And millions of mouths
To feed
Try and smile
And millions in wealth
Secede
How I yearn to learn
Why the empires burn?
An age old riddle
Why does Nero fiddle?

Far and wide
There’s millions of minds
To feed
Still they hide
Their millions all kinds
Don’t need
(chorus)

Near and far
There’s millions of hearts
To feed
Still they starve
There’s millions of parts
That bleed
(chorus)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Where are you headed
Is it on the way
Our parting’s dreaded
Why don’t you stay
Rather kiss you
Than to miss you
I don’t know why
You say goodbye
I’m feeling bye is bad
I’m feeling oh so sad
Think of all the time we could of had

Where are you going
Why don’t you stay
Hearts will be owing
Lonelier by the day
Shaking my head
At death’s bed
Asking why you had to die
Dead
{sigh}

A song about the birth of an angel.
Recorded at twilight along the shore of Lake Wynonah, Pennsylvania.

LYRICS
Maybe at last
An atheist
Tryin’ suggest
A Holy Ghost
Pray with your chin up
While you lay yourself down
Say what you’re made of
While you disrobe your gown

Maybe a quest
As a Zionist
Won’t quench the thirst
Of a human birth
Pray with your chin up
While you lay yourself down
Say what you’re made of
While you disrobe your gown

Maybe at last
Give up the fast
No, it’s not best
To void ingest
Pray with your chin up
While you lay yourself down
Say what you’re made of
While you disrobe your gown

Maybe it’s time
Instead of lyin’
Prophets are tryin’
For our time buyin’
Pray with your chin up
While you lay yourself down
Say what you’re made of
While you disrobe your gown

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
You say your dad was a veteran
I don’t hear you saying, “I am”
You say your mom was a lady
Yet, you seem a little shady
When it comes to the merit
Of your family
I don’t want to hear it
Quite frankly
What have you done?
Are you anyone?

You say your daughter is a virgin
Wondering if you’ll ever learn
You say your son is a hero
Yet to move you from zero
When it comes to the merit
Of your family
I don’t want to hear it
Quite frankly
What have you done?
Are you anyone?

You say that your grandpa
Was a crafter of modern law
You say that your grandma
Most beautiful thing he ever saw
When it comes to the merit
Of your family
I don’t want to hear it
Quite frankly
When it comes to your spirit
Is it lovely
Have you ever been near it
Embraced wholly
What have you done?
Are you anyone?

Anyone? .mp3

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are my eyes tricking me
Is that really what eye see?
Do you believe in destiny
Or is it fantasy
A face
Reflecting off the surface
The age
Of my image
Is the mirror real
Or two dimensional
Missing dimension
Feel flat… unsensational
A reflection
Of the person
Ventures into known
Now own thy own
Grown into thy own
Now you’ve grown into your own

Are We 2D? .mp3

LYRICS
Did you hear about the thing
With David and a sling
Took aim
Rendered lame
After all
The bigger they come
The harder the fall
Then, my Son, there’s Samson
The skill hone
With an ass’ jawbone
Nevertheless
One thousand laid to rest
… at best guess
Does it happen
You choose your weapon
To be keen
Or is it all
’bout being mean?

One small step
A giant leap
Depth and breadth
Soul to keep
What is found
Far beyond

Past your bond

Seeps in deep

Nod of God
Lightning rod
Shocked and awed
Back to flawed

bookmark_borderOne Damn Song

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Spending all your day
Wondering why your days
Slip away
When sleep’s on it’s way
You say, “I’ll pray:
Lord, I’ve done wrong
Didn’t write one damn song”

Spending all your time
Wondering if I’m
Gonna turn out fine
Under fading light
You say… “Pray? I might.
Lord, I’ve done wrong
Didn’t write one damn song”

Spending all your life
Wondering how to avoid strife
When all the while…
You made Ms. Satan your wife
On fallen knees you say
“God, listen to me pray:
Lord, I’ve done wrong
Didn’t write one damn song”

Lordy, Lordy

I’ve been forgiven
Of that sin
I’ve been forgiven
Of my sin
Been forgiven of my wrong
Lord I’ve done written one song

Lord, I’m reckoning
Since you’re wrecking my reckoning
I reckon I’ve been forgiven my sin
As this is one damn long song

I’d like to thank you again
Again and again
For forgivin’ that sin
Lord, I did wrong
But, now I wrote that song
Been forgiven
From heaven

LYRICS
If you’re searching for your heart
Then why not start?
Stop looking around
It’s been found
Not trying to hide on the outside
Look within
Where it’s always been
Look within

If you’re trying to find your heart
Then why not start
Where it’s always been
Look again!
Look again?
Not broken beyond repair
Look in there
Did you try looking in there?
Look in there!

bookmark_borderThe Ballad of Sir Vent

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
One on the day you’re born
How long
Does it take to learn
To cherish every moment
’til you’re rendered silent
Light from the candle’s either ends
Shines bright on the message it sends

A life unfurled
In a wind whirled
How long does it take to understand
From a fetus curled
’til my dust becomes land

After fulfilling your purpose
Do you feel worthless
What with my time shall I do
Oh, God, I’m asking you
Can you make this servant
Permanent
