LYRICS
Let’s see if we can salvage the New Age
Newage
Not sewage
Let’s see if we can stop the damage
Newage
Not sewage

You’d think in this day and age
We could figure out how to salvage the damage
That we’ve done
Instead we beat our chests like chimpanzees
Thinking that we’ve won

In this time
Instead of it being mine
I hope it’s yours
I wish you a happy life

If there was ever a time
When the fruit was ripe on the vine
The time is now
If there was ever a time to figure out how
The time is now

Let’s salvage
Less damage
Let’s salvage the damage

Newage instead of sewage
New Age instead of sewage

LYRICS
It’s growing ever clearer
She’s growing nearer
Do you hear Her?

Will you fear Her
Or, will She bring you comfort and joy
Enjoy

Then, The End
Amen.

It’s growing ever clearer
She’s growing nearer
Do you hear Her?

When the force arrives
Will we be running for our lives…
In fear

Or, will She bring you comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Enjoy

Can you hear Her?

LYRICS
Everybody out of the pool!
Look out
Here comes the flood
Unless you don’t want your blood
As long as you want your blood to flow
I hope you know…
Know how to swim

The situation
Your going against the current
By the way
You’re not making any headway
When you’re swimming up stream
No matter what you deem
When you’re swimming up stream
No matter what you deem
So, I hope you know how to swim
If you forgot, I hope you remember again
Got to swim
Here comes the flood
Got to swim
Here comes the flood

If you know how to swim
There’s a chance to win

Devilish Whirling Dervish.mp3

LYRICS

Whirling. Twirling. Spinning ever faster
Whipping yourself into a euphoric state
Going round and round and round
Hoping religion will be found

Hiding. Hunting. Hoping for an Easter
Praying resurrection is your fate

Devilish Whirling Dervish
Religious ecstasy
Devilish Whirling Dervish
Touching divinity

Make the whirling yours
Make the whirling mine
Create the whirling epiphany
Make the whirling divine

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Am C

Written and recorded on January 15, 2013 in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania as a digital, 6-track stereo, extemporaneous recording.

The Mawlaw’Ä«yya / Mevlevi Order, or the Mevlevilik / Mevleviye (Persian: مولويه‎ – MolavÄ«yeh) is a Sufi order founded in Konya (present-day Turkey) by the followers of Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi-Rumi, a 13th-century Persian poet, Islamic jurist, and theologian. They are also known as the Whirling Dervishes due to their famous practice of whirling as a form of dhikr (remembrance of God).

The Mawlawi believe in performing their dhikr in the form of a “dance” and musical ceremony known as the Sama, which involves the whirling, from which the order acquired its nickname. The Sema represents a mystical journey of man’s spiritual ascent through mind and love to the “Perfect”. Turning towards the truth, the follower grows through love, deserts his ego, finds the truth, and arrives at the “Perfect”. He then returns from this spiritual journey as a man who has reached maturity and a greater perfection, able to love and to be of service to the whole of creation.

LYRICS
Rest In Peace

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Who me? I don’t want to ever grow up

I don’t want to be old

Why would you want to grow old
Why would you want to grow mold
Why would you want to do what you’re told
Why would you want to grow old

You can grow old
You can grow mold
You can rot
You can rust
But, I say “Not”

LYRICS
The tricks with this mix
Involve staying on course
You know? When visibility is low
Trying to avoid blunt force

To hell with hail
that falls to the ground
We’ll sustain the freezing rain
And, figure a work around

Damn the don’t knows
Full speed in the head

The fix for this mix
Involves getting out from betwixt
From above… snow… ice below

LYRICS
In these days, we’re all chasing rays (we’re all chasing rays)
In the fray of the day, we’re chasing rays

Searching high and low
Where did the day light go

There should have daylight savings
But, we kept shaving and shaving and shaving
Until there was barely splintered sunlight left

It’s not alright when there’s nothing left

It there’s a shadow in the way
There’s a way to flesh out a ray
What do you say
Let’s step out into the light
Alight? Alright!

In these days, we’re all chasing rays (we’re all chasing rays)
In the fray of the day, we’re chasing rays

ABOUT THE SONG

Bm7 / G / E

Written and recorded on November 9, 2012 in Chester County, PA. It was the first sunny day and warm enough to play guitar outside in a long time. It was also the first nice day since the start of daylight savings. So… I wanted to catch the last rays as the sun started to set. Lack of sunlight tends do cause depression; therefore, I suggest you try catching rays.

You better run n’ get your daughter
You better run n’ get your son
You better run n’ get your mother
Before darkness follows the setting sun

’cause the End Of Times is looming near
The wretched are dooming in fear

You better run n’ get your daughter
You better run n’ get your son
You better run n’ get your mother
Before darkness follows the setting sun

There’s a bend in time we’re zooming clear
The righteous are bounding. How queer?

You better run n’ get your daughter
You better run n’ get your son
You better run n’ get your mother
Before darkness follows the setting sun

The Start Of Times is looming near
Leaving hate far behind… in the rear

Did that tree just try to kill me?

Many dead… mostly from trees.

Geeze.. giving them disease… creatin a deadly breeze.

Using limb to clobber him from limb to limb
Crushing homes and transportation
Because of our past deviation violation

The fall of the trees
Due to the human disease
The revenge of the woods
Due to too many would-of’s, could-of’s and shoulds
Due to too many wood-of shoulds

You know it must be going over and over in her head

If she ever comes to realize… what she did
Then, you know it’s gotta be going over and over and over
In her head

Must be hard to live with yourself
Over and over in head… over and over and over again
As long as you’re living a life of sin

Over and over again
When you’re livin’ a life of sin… livin’ a life of sin… livin’ a life of sin

It was so out-of-this-world
That it couldn’t have bee real
I mean… what’s your deal

Over and over and over and over again
Gotta re-live that sin
Until you was it clean
Until you’re void of mean

Over and over and over and over and over and over again
Over and over in your head
For all eternity… long after you’re dead
Do you at least regret what you said?

Until you do you do
Likely, be living it over and over and over again
Gotta rid that sin

Must be hard to live with yourself
Over and over in head… over and over and over again
As long as you’re living a life of sin

If you have a care for me
I will have a care for you
Together we can see it through
Weather it through any sea

I must have a care for you
It’s the very least to do
Thank you for helping me to see

Ate compassionate for breakfast
Gotta hunch I’ll have it for lunch
Can you stop by before the supper that’s last?

Feel deep before we’re past

Dive deep into your heart
And, part the see

ABOUT THE SONG
C / F / E

Written and recorded August 25, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

It’s about love reciprocity. The album name “Natural Producer” has to do with the engineering and production of the music. Since the music is hoped to be *God Inspired*, names like deity, spirit, divinity, supernatural being and idol producer came to mind; however, that sounded too vain. So, what am I compared to the Supernatural Being Producer?
