bookmark_borderCan’t Wait to Wait

LYRICS
Is it too late?
Is it too late to procrastinate?
We’d really like to wait
To have this debate
Surely you must know
We love the status quo
And really would appreciate
Going slow

Is it too late?
Is it too late to procrastinate?
If you’ve the presumption
Of ending mass consumption
Surely you must know
We love the status quo
So show appreciation
By going slow

Is it too late?
Is it too late to procrastinate?
Can’t you see consumer greed
Is all we need
Surely you must know
We love the status quo
So won’t you please concede
And go slow

LYRICS
Pick the battles
Win the wars
Earth that rattles
Open the doors
How to get a crowd to hear
No matter how far or near
How to get a crowd ’round here
To get to hear clear?

Biggest crisis
No debate
Answer is:
The climate
How to get a crowd to hear
No matter how far or near
How to get a crowd ’round here
To get to hear clear?

So now what
Are all deaf
If, and, but
Won’t stop death
How to get a crowd to hear
No matter how far or near
How to get a crowd ’round here
To get to hear clear?

bookmark_borderLife Out of the Dark

LYRICS
The things you see in your sleep
Broad and high… thoughts run deep
Life out of the dark
Been given the spark
Ignite the light

The things you see in daydreams
Seems the future melts through the seems
Life out of the dark
Been given the spark
Ignite the light

The things you see in front of your eyes
How long will it take to realize
Life out of the dark
Been given the spark
Ignite the light

bookmark_borderGet High

LYRICS
Try not to let them get you down
Time them or us get out of town
If we leave it to a coin toss
They might get lost
To sustain such a loss
Too high a cost
If I try to fly
I just might bet by
If I try to fly
I just might get high

Try not to let them get you down
Time them or us get out of town
If we let them over gloss
The meaning might get lost
To sustain such a loss
Too high a cost
If I try to fly
I just might bet by
If I try to fly
I just might get high

Try not to let them get you down
Time them or us get out of town
If we let them sell their sauce
Our taste might get lost
To sustain such a loss
Too high a cost
If I try to fly
I just might bet by
If I try to fly
I just might get high

LYRICS
Did you go
To the sideshow
In seek of my freak
Elephant mating donkey
You’re never quite sure
What you’ll see
If you ask me
I’d rather take in
More future
For sure

Did you go
To the sideshow
In seek of my freak
Left n’ right gettin’ in a fight
You’re never quite sure
What you’ll see
If you ask me
I’d rather take in
More future
For sure

You’re never quite sure
What you’ll see
Elephant mating donkey
Left n’ right gettin’ in a fight
While the poles melt
To the rust belt
If you ask me
I’d rather take in
More future
For sure
Did you go
To the sideshow
I go to tweak my freak

bookmark_borderLooking for a Fix

LYRICS
This habit — habitat
I’m sure going to miss you
Hard to imagine…
How I’ll ever make it through
Without you
Going to make me blue
Living life without you
… will turn me blue
(If there’s no air there)

This habit — habitat
I sure do miss you
For days and weeks
I’ll be meek and weak
Looking for a fix…
An elixir
Now that my habit
Is through
Going to make me blue
Living life without you
… will turn me blue
(If there’s no air there)
[gasping for air noises]

LYRICS
Do you find it funny
What comes to mind
When there’s no memory
There to find
On the tip-of-the-tongue
Reaching for the highest wrung

When the days are sunny
And the load is light
Forget money
While dreams are in sight
On the tip-of-the-tongue
Reaching for the highest wrung

Free to think
Of something new
Turns to memory
Now you knew
On the tip-of-the-tongue
Reaching for the highest wrung

LYRICS
See the rays are finally breaking through
Totally changing my point of view
I’m beginning to see the light

See the blue sky finally breaking through
Rearranging my point of view
I’m beginning to see the light

Just in time for sunshine
To put insight in sight
I’m beginning to see the light

LYRICS
Clouds of a storm form
Darkened with forebodingness
Princess
Locked in the watch tower
Caught in the reign of a shower
Falls upon their head
Forecursor to the dead
Caught in the reign of our power
Human induced
Efforts reduce
My habitat habit

Dust of the storms form
No doubt due to drought
Shout:
Locked in the watch of our
Caught in the reign of our falling tower
Falls upon their head
Forecursor to the dead
Caught in the reign of our power
Human induced
Efforts reduce
My habitat habit

bookmark_borderLivin’ Again

LYRICS
Have you lived life before
Are you dying for more
Was it all full of sin
Gotta do it again
River Styx prone
Time to take it home

Have you lived life before
Are you dying for more
Was it awful sin
Gotta do it again
Hate the Hades zone
Time to take it home

Have you lived life before
Are you dying for more
Was it all full of sin
Gotta do it again
Done the zombie drone
Time to take it home

Time to come alive
Time I’m alive!

LYRICS
Walk backward
And be forever behind
Walk forward
And face what’s in mind
If you’d rather run
Into the heart of the sun
Might try to fly
To get by

Walk backward
And be forever behind
Walk forward
And face what’s in mind
If you’d rather run
Into the heart of the sun
Might try to fly
To get by
Since our days are numbered
There’s no sense to’ve slumbered
Why not try to fly?

LYRICS
When the sick
Gets too thick
Gotta think
Make it quick
Strap on my safety belt
Prepare for mind melt
Run it up the flagpole and see…
Is it just me?

When the sick
Gets too thick
Gotta think
Make it quick
Made the decision to invoke the vision
Invoked the vision of rational division
See if anyone else can and see…
Is it just me?

When the sick
Gets too thick
Gotta think
Make it quick
Went ahead and let it out
To the highest heights to shout
Can you see… or…
Is it just me?

LYRICS
Are you chosen
To be golden
And shine so fine
All of your time
Have you chosen
to beholden
And shine so fine
All of your time
Open up your heart
And let the light shine
Let mistrust depart
And let your light shine
Once you find the start
You’ll shine and shine and shine

Do you live to give
And shine so fine
All of your time
Thrive to be alive
And shine so fine
All of your time
Open up your heart
And let the light shine
Let mistrust depart
And let your light shine
Once you find the start
You’ll shine and shine and shine

We’ll have to wait and see
Just how good it’ll be
Is fortune and fame
Not the same
As you dreamt
Is you life’s meaning

The day you went
From childhood ways
(Toward dying days)
It’s not too late
If you don’t wait
Get back to play
Child’s here to stay

If you’re afraid to get in
Just come reside at the side
You can get a taste of swimmin’
Tipping your toe in the tide
If you want to come alive
To the deep end… let’s dive
In!
(Then, let’s do it again)

If you’re afraid to jump in
You’re bound to be left standin’
We’re in the shallow end
What trouble can you get in?
If you want to come alive
To the deep end… let’s dive
In!
(Then, let’s do it again)

Don’t be afraid to wade
In the water up to your waist
In the sun… out of the shade
We haven’t a moment to waste
If you want to come alive
To the deep end… let’s dive
In!
(Then, let’s do it again)
