Monster In Me Overkill.mp3

LYRICS
A troll and a mole
Had a love child — wild!
Out of the hole
Far from mild — wild!
Too much juice
On the loose
Should you fear her
Look in the mirror
Be it numb or dumb
Where do you think you come from
Oh, Lord, kingdom come is done
Look at us — hideous
See the hair and nails?
Never fails
Skunk doesn’t smell its own hole
How droll

bookmark_borderReflections Of You

LYRICS
Whenever I see the raindrops
Hit the sidewalk
I think of you
Whenever I see the sunshine
Ripen the vine
I think of you
It seems no matter what I do
I think of you

When Spring is in the air
I feel you there
My heart feeling the call
Reminiscing in fall
From the crack of dawn
Until dusk’s last yawn
You’re in my head
As I lay in bed
It seems no matter what I do
I think of you

bookmark_borderCruising Speed

LYRICS
Seem in a hurry
Scene’s gettin’ blurry
Don’t need to worry
I’m taking time
Caught in the flurry
Blinded by glory
Strung out hung jury
I’m taking time
I just don’t know how to go slow
If you hold my hand
You’ll understand

Season for reason
Grieving is leaving
No dust nor rust
I’m taking time
Hard to believe
You’ll get relief
Release the grief
By taking time
I just don’t know how to go slow
If you hold my hand
You’ll understand

LYRICS
Obscene…
… the things I’ve seen
The screen
Has a tear
Right there
And, I suspect
It’s bugging me
Now, the insect

And, my belief
I need relief
’cause this itch
Is a bitch

LYRICS
In the dark of night
Your light shines bright
Yes, you are
The brightest star
Dear,
Your light travels through the years
Overpowering any fears
Of the dark
The brilliance of your spark
Lust for the luster of your sparkle
Ahhhhh the original miracle
In the eye
Of the heavenly sky
A wrinkle in time the way you twinkle
The whitest light
In the twilight
Truth told
You never get old
Truth told
Ahhh behold

bookmark_borderFeel Lucky?

LYRICS
Might want to think twice
About rolling the dice
7 / 11
On going to heaven
Might wan to think back
ON what to retract
Once you’re dead
… already said
Heart beating
Is fleeting
Life is…
Kiss

Might think it over
Over 4 leaf clover
Out of luck
Don’t give a #uck
Might want to repent
Before Life is spent
Being kind
Comes to mind
Heart beating
Is fleeting
Life is…
Kiss

Translucent
The scent in sight is faint
It ain’t…
Quite crystal clear
(Though near)
You get the light
In sight
Light with a smear

bookmark_borderSpin Cycle

LYRICS
You’re living in a whirlwind
I’m watching you spin
Where you were
Is where you’ve been
You’re living in a whirlwind
Trying to watch you spin
All’s a blur
Stirred up dustbin
Round and round you go
Where you stop… nobody knows
(No one knows. Do you know?)

You’re living in a whirlwind
Turn, turn, turn
Spinning so fast
Might start to burn
You’re living in a whirlwind
Churn, churn, churn
This can’t last
An endless sojourn
Round and round you go
Where you stop… nobody knows

bookmark_borderLove Can Rule

LYRICS
When things are slowing
You’ve got to keep going
Got to keep showing
Nice being done twice

Done being the fool
Being the tool
The victim of cruel
Show ’em that love can rule

If life strays
… not going your way
It’s time to say
This is a new day

You were not born
To bear Man’s scorn
It’s time for you to see
The meaning of liberty
Head the call
Justice for all
Life — the pursuit of happiness
Yes, that’s what this is

bookmark_borderLater Gator

LYRICS
I can wait til later
To wrestle an alligator
I can wait for a while
To mess with a crocodile
Forget about destiny
It won’t get the best of me

I will gladly wait
To witness the pearly gate
Pray tell, my philosophy? Well,
Is to avoid hell
Forget about destiny
It won’t get the best of me

No, I can not wait
To participate
Pay no mind to fate
We can set our date
Forget about destiny
It won’t get the best of me

So, with the time we have left
Do you think that it’s best
That we partake and give
All the life there is to live?
Forget about destiny
It won’t get the best of me

bookmark_borderBombed

LYRICS
I don’t get it
Everything around you
Looks like a bomb hit
It’s true
Yet you shine through
Like a tower of flower
Your colors shine on
In a place you don’t belong
See the beauty

And, can you tell
Oh ohhhh that smell
Can’t help think about stink
Yet you shine through
Like a tower of flower
The scent you’ve lent…
Glad the stench went
Pray tell the smell
So glorious
You’ve brought to us

A taste so foul
Empties your bowel
Please close the sewer hose
Yet you shine through
Like a tower of flower
The way you taste
Shouldn’t go to waste
Savor the flavor

LYRICS
The fear is gone
There’s nothing wrong
We’re all going to live
Dreamcatcher
Sky watcher
The mind is a sieve
If you’re ever feeling down
Feel free ’bout coming ’round
Magic fingers
Cure dead ringers
Don’t give up
You’ve come this far
Don’t give up
You’re under par
You can see
Where you want to be
(Of course for the course)
You’ve made it through the “worse”
You deserve the purse
Feeling fine
Crossing the finish line

LYRICS
It’s been such a long time coming
Feels like I’ve been waiting all my life
It’s been such a long time waiting
Getting you into my life
Somehow
Do you wish you knew now
Do you wish you knew then
When
Is your life rife
With growing knowing?

LYRICS
I’m thinking
Without blinking
Better come on slow
(Ya know?)
In your mind
Sneak up from behind

Out flank their flank
I thank
Think, thank, thunk
Royal flunk
Need to access how they flunk recess

I’m thinking
Without blinking
Better come on slow
(Ya know?)
In your mind
Sneak up from behind
