LYRICS
The way you’re all folded down
Can’t tell if you’re crying
Or if you’re praying
I’m just saying that either way
Unlikely to help save your day
Anyway
It’s up to you
To do what you need to do
It’s within you
To lift us to heights anew

The way you’re all folded over
Can’t tell if you’re lying
Or if you’re dying
I’m just saying that either way
Unlikely to help save your day
Anyway
It’s up to you
To do what you need to do
It’s within you
To lift us to heights anew
(And, within me, too)
It’s up to us
To do what we need to do
It’s within us
To lift us to heights anew

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
As it warms
Climate warns
The thin ice
Sliding on the precipice
The point we need to press
We made the mess
Better make the best
Of what’s left

As it thaws
Dropping jaws
The thin ice
Sliding on the precipice
The point we need to press
We made the mess
Better make the best
Of what’s left

As it melts
Tighten belts
The thin ice
Sliding on the precipice
The point we need to press
We made the mess
Better make the best
Of what’s left

Almost gone
Won’t be long
No more ice
Sinking in the precipice
The point we need to press
We made the mess
Better make the best
Of what’s left

LYRICS
If you’re going to slip up
At least you’re slipping up
Of course the verse could be worse
You could be falling down
Look on the bright side
At lease your outside
Is intact
As a matter of fact
Your inside
Can confide
You’re along for the ride

bookmark_borderThe Others’ Day

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A sliver of sunlight
Pierces the darkest cloud
Enlighten
The darkest crowd
Out loud:
Mind tighten
Laser focus on us
Time to know to let go

The storm is thundering
Yet, it seems so far away
Wondering
How’s the others’ day?
Out loud:
Mind tighten
Laser focus on us
Time to know to let go

Scent of ionization
Spanks the backflow of air
Become aware
Realization
Out loud:
Mind tighten
Laser focus on us
Time to know to let go

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Now behind the last act’s curtain
Are you feeling all that certain
Who you are?
Far beyond the night’s last call
You’re not that far from bizarre
After all?
If you’re conscience’s is going to kill you
Here’s a clue
It makes it rather hard to run
If there’s concessions you can make
Then there’s two roads you can take

bookmark_borderIn Sheer Delight

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
From the early, early morning
’til the late, late night
You can hear I’m playing
In sheer delight

In sheer delight
Come clear insight
Idea ignite
In sheer delight

How much music can we make
Before we even reach daybreak
When that sun comes into sight
Hear us playing in sheer delight
In sheer delight
Come clear insight
Idea ignite
In sheer delight

From high noon to late afternoon
Making music can’t come too soon
Into the dark don’t need a light
we’re playing in sheer delight
In sheer delight
In sheer delight
Come clear insight
Idea ignite
In sheer delight

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Right up front
With your transparency
Guess that’s why
You’re so easy to see
Looking in
And then one can begin
What’s to be
Focusing clearly
Right up front
With your transparency
Guess that’s why
You’re so easy to see
Maybe I’m a little too shy
In one eye
And out the other eye
Gonna see what I can do
To grab ahold and pull me through
And, you, too
Maybe I’m a little too shy
In one I
And out the other I
Gonna see what I can do
To grab ahold and pull me through
And, you, too

Did you catch that rabbit
You were looking right at it
Please don’t say it got away
… to live to see another day?

Not really that funny
He said, it’s dead
Caught that rabbit
You got it

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The moon and the air
How soon till clear
Crisp autumn night
Bring on the starlight
The cry of the Red Tail passes by
The chirps of the crickets begin to die
The sun falls from the sky

The moon and the air
How soon till clear
Crisp autumn night
Bring on the starlight
The blue hue overhead fades to red
In the twilight, day and night are wed
Dreams are fed to the head

The moon and the air
How soon till clear
Crisp autumn night
Bring on the starlight
Waiting patiently until dark surrounds
It won’t be long now the sun is down
Stars move in… we turn round

I’ve had it… a long time
Dog gone it… this habit of mine
I’ve had it… a long time
There’s no defeating
Keeping my hear beating
Can’t stop believing
Gotta keep on breathing

Dog gone it… this habit of mine

Need to keep on eating

Gotta keep on breathing

Gimmie some water
Without impeding
My need for breathing

Got any air over there?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
In your mind
Do the math
It will work out fine
Find the path
In your mind
It will work out fine
But a fraction of your time
For satisfaction of your “mine”
It will all add up
(In the end it will all add up)

In your mind
Do the math
It will work out fine
Find the path
In your mind
It will work out fine
To equate a fair rate
Subtract out fate
We’ll never give up
(In the end it will all add up)

In your mind
Do the math
It will work out fine
Find the path
In your mind
It will work out fine
Indivisible
We retain able
Until our time is up
(In the end it will all add up)
