bookmark_borderHit A Rock

LYRICS
Went climbing out on a limb
On a whim
Then when so far out
Had my doubt
Could all the king’s horses
And all the king’s men
Put me together again?

Wind did blow. Bow did break
Hesitate
Knowing what is a stake
All the fate
Could all the king’s horses
And all the king’s men
Put me together again?

Much to my delight in flight
Hit a rock
So I thought I just might
Let it roll
(Rock n’ roll!)

bookmark_borderFreedom Box

LYRICS
Once I started thinking
Outside the freedom box
The cleaning of the clocks
The ships shoved from docks
Freedom box
That ship sailed
Of the failed
Now, it’s all hands on deck
Let’s fix this wreck
Freedom box
Once I started thinking
(Outside the freedom box)
The fears started shrinking
(Outside the freedom box)
Once I started thinking
(Outside the freedom box)
What’s wrong started sinking
(Outside the freedom box)
Once I started thinking
Outside the freedom box
All our bonds and stocks
Outside the freedom box
No more bars and locks
Outside the freedom box
Tumbling of the blocks
Outside the freedom box

LYRICS
When I think of you
I think of dreams come true
The embodiment
Of the body meant
By the numbers
Mind number
When you twirl your hair
Spring is in the air
Flowers start to bloom
Hearts go boom

When I think of you
I think of dreams come true
The embodiment
Of the body meant
By the numbers
Mind number
I hear the birds sing
Colors get a zing
When I get to know
How everything can glow

LYRICS
Gravitated
Escalated
Elevated
Is the old gizzard
A wizard?
Confused over “muse”
Faster to become master
Can’t outlast Her
Turn the page
Less muse
More sage
Out last
The past
Forge forward
Onward
Upward
Try for “sky high”
I
Sky high I

bookmark_borderBeauty Full

LYRICS
The things that scare me
Janu-hairy
Scary
Frightening me
In the eye of the beholder
It’s not me I want to see
Looking through to you
To be in beauty… full
Full of beautiful
Plain to see
Not half empty
Full!
Beautiful

[Break / Jam]

Though without a soul
It’s only skin deep
From within the whole
Won’t you let it seep
In the eye of the beholder
Hold her
In the eye, I hold her
Or maybe, it’s she…
… holding me?

LYRICS
Candy coated popcorn, peanuts and a prize
Starting to realize
I don’t care if I never get back
If there is substance lack… there of

Been found about

LYRICS
Re, re, re, re, restraint
Wears thin
When I see you
Wearing that skin
The skin you’re in
I’d like to see that again
Love? … or something akin
Rub on passionate
Participate
In appreciate
The love… or something akin
Taking off kid gloves
Spilling my guts
Please don’t think I’m nuts
When I look within
The passion
The person
Love… or something akin
Then again… our offspring is our kin?

You are right
Great insight
“If you count your days,
They are numbered…
They are “numb”-bered
Is there quality
Or just quantity
Due da due da ditty itty dumb ditty itty itty
Do da do da ditty itty dumb ditty itty itty
Are your days numb-bered
Or are there ways you’d rathered
Why collect regret

bookmark_borderThe Last Thing She Said

LYRICS
What do you mean “we don’t have much time”?
The last thing she said to me is
“We don’t have much time”
When it comes to getting the message out
Don’t know how loud I can shout!
Wipe the grime from my voice
“We don’t have much time!”
But we’ve got choice
Adapt or be inept
In an adapt
In and adapt
Fast track
Be adapted to embedded?
Don’t let me… down
Don’t let me 6 feet down
You got me
Stymied
Stymie me’d

LYRICS
If I knew now, what I knew then
When I knew now, if I knew then
I suppose I’m one of those
IN the here and now
So, somehow it’s not hard to see
Not for “we” when we’re bright
IN the light
Not hard to see wrong from right
When it’s in the light
Understanding when your standing
Not hard to see, really
When it’s in the light
If I knew now
Now from then
What I knew than when?
Not hard for me to see
Not hard for me to see we
When we see
In the light
Wrong from right
When it’s in the light
