Posted on by admin

LYRICS
First
You bite the hand that feeds you
Then
You wonder wonder why
Next
In spite
The nose on your face
You cut and pry
Oh why
Hysteria over mania?
Depression: Die
Oh why
Diarrhea of the speech
For hate reach
Third
Still more absurd
You spew
You do
You spew
The word
Never to be heard

LYRICS
Has it been a long time coming
A steep road upon which you’re roaming

Does your day turn gray
Then slip away
Does it make you cry
Well’s run dry
Wells up your eye

Does your way go stray
Then slip away
Does it make you cry
Knowing you’ll die

Do you say “no way”
Then slip away
Does it make you cry
Never knowing why

Well they say your day
Goes your way
There’s no need to cry
Give’r a try
Giver try

LYRICS
There’s a lot going on
Gotta keep calm
Keep the head strong
Without headstrong
Erase the wrong
Give space for light
Insight
For song
It won’t be long
Make good on the promise
To try n’ be honest
The answers will surface
And all turns out best
Suffice to say
Good news is on its way

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do you even give a damn about the little ones
Would you even shed a care
Is it you you damned with your “said and done’s”
Would you even care to share
Actions speak louder than any words
Be it ploughshares or swords
Indeed, if the deed is due
And do do’s due, too

Do you even give a damn about the eldest ones
Would you even shed a tear
Is it you you damned with your “said and done’s”
And your maker do you fear?

Do you even give a damn about the “here and now”
Do you even care to care
Is it you that damned your future somehow
Would you even share a care?

Jack Sprat!
Jack Sprat!
… would eat no fat
Jack Sprat!
Jack Sprat!
His wife would eat no lean
She would lick the platter
Lick the platter
Lick the platter clean

Mrs. Sprat
Mrs. Sprat
Died from a heart attack
Mrs. Sprat
Mrs. Sprat
No, can’t get life back

Jack Sprat!
Jack Sprat!
Had better act wise
Jack Sprat!
Jack Sprat!
Else leads to your demise
… an early demise

LYRICS
It’s been a long day pounding in nails
I suppose in comparison it pales
Then being nailed — crucified
They say back in the day
That’s the way
Martyrs died
Widows cried

LYRICS
I really appreciate
Your appreciation
No matter the content
There’s lift in the gift
No matter the amount
It’s the thought that counts

I really appreciate
Your appreciation
Every moment of your time…
Sublime

I really appreciate
There’s no hesitation
No hesitation
In your appreciation
Staggering amounts
In your thought that counts

LYRICS
One and done?
Too and two
Free from three
For for more
I’m hoping you can see
You can always count on me
To be what you want to be
As long as that’s happy

Invest completely
In your mortality
Only certainty
Is death… eventually

Are you seeing clearly
You can always count on me
Be it clear or gloomy
To be living happily

LYRICS
If you look around
You just might find
It’s not that hard
To be kind
Open the window
Into your soul
Define humanity’s goal
Come on down
Look around
Shake the clown
Being found

If you look outside
Then above
It’s not that hard
To find love
Open the window
Into your soul
Define
Your earthly role
Come on down
Look around
Shake the clown
Being found

Done the look within
Now look out
It’s not that hard
To find out
Light escapes
The black hole
Come on down
Look around
Shake the clown
Being found

Look at me
Was blind now see
The way that things
Can be
The though in “we”
Eventually
Creates our destiny
Wills free
Freewill ’til
Eternity

LYRICS
Nothing left to do
But to pursue
Give it all I got?
Sure, why not!
The dog was in the doghouse
Can you tell me who’s to blame
Are you calling out my name?
Not “whatever” “all the same”

What more can I do
But to pursue
Go the final yard
It’s not that hard

What about for you
Whatcha gonna do
Give it all you’ve got?
Come on! Why not?

LYRICS
Beyond execute
Absent rebuke
Remember the follow through
Hope I do
Follow through
Hope I remember to
Hope I remember
Final number
Then encore
Then some more

It’s time to embrace
The start of the race
Run after the starting gun
Hope I do
Remember to
Finishing line run through

The optimists
Within exists
Remember we’re not through
Body’s dead
The life we led
Get to start anew?

LYRICS
Handicap. Have you got one, too?
All of us, just trying to get through
Following orders… hut, 1, 2
Starting to think that just won’t do
In your eyes
I see paradise
Realize
Eyes on the prize
Life before it dies

Drum Castle
Drum Castle

Stuck inside your castle walls
Waiting ’til the kingdom falls
Can’t escape your nightmares
Regain hope and lose your fears
In your eyes
I see paradise
Realize
Eyes on the prize
Life before it dies
Life before us lies

The captain says you may move about
Just as long as you don’t venture out
Quite the contrary revolutionary
Weight of the world on your shoulders carry
In your eyes
I see paradise
Realize
Eyes on the prize
Life before us lies

LYRICS
Counting my blessings
Life’s for the taking
Soul-to-soul caressing
Lives in the making

What it is you did
Can’t be rid or hid
What it is you do
Will define you
What I’ll come to be
Is really up to me

As time is fleeting
Life’s for the taking
Before completing
Life’s in the making

Simultaneous us
Lives for the taking
The glorious us
Lives in the making

We’ll go marching
We’ll go marching
Will go marching
On parade
Not afraid

LYRICS
I see the memory
Distorts reality
The good ole days
Aren’t as good as todays
History passes before rose colored glasses
Welcome to “the best is yet to come”
Then some….

My recollection
Tinged by selection
The glory days
Aren’t as good as todays
Welcome to “the best is yet to come”
Then some….

I see that the dream
Can be seen
The scene of yesterdays
Isn’t as good as today’s
Welcome to “the best is yet to come”
Then some….

Today’s quite O.K.
Evermore tomorrow
I’ll let the past pass
And grab now while it lasts
Welcome to “the best is yet to come”
Then some….

Then Some.mp3
