LYRICS
Do you want to bet your life
Guess you already did
Before it was said
You’re not immortal
You’re dead

When you pass by
Will you wave
Say hi?

Or, will you choose to lose
Doubt you’ll float
With that kind of dream

Senior week
Senior weak
Bring on the meek

The Day
The First. The Last.
The day the last is past

LYRICS
I’m whistling with you
I’m smiling at you
Irresistible
The feeling surrounds you
Quintessential
To be the Queen Bee

If you strive for the hive
We’ll do more than survive
We’ll thrive

For those who want to derail
Take our train from the tracks
Exhale
Relax

Less the swarm harm
Try to chill your will
Stand still
Don’t sound the alarm
After all, what is your aim? To tame?

Written and recorded on June 9, 2012 as an accident occurred right in front of me in West Chester, Pennsylvania. The mean has to do with a train coming off the tracks in the middle of a bee hive as compared to the human race.

LYRICS
You just… you might
Yes, I think you’ve already got it
Consider it a gift
Thank God for the Goddess
If it wasn’t for Her
There’d be no seventh day
Without the Goddess
There’d be no Sunday bliss

Think tight
And, you might
Come out alright

LYRICS
Though an optimist
I must admit
Some situations on Earth
Are bleak
We forgot to care
For the meek
Now, the social justification
That I did fear
Is much closer
Than just near

Radiate.
Be intimate
Transfer
With Her
Mother of the Earth

Give birth
Bring forth

Bring it down from on above
Radiate
Be intimate

LYRICS
I had this weird vision
You were in it
And, your brothers, two… too… two… too

There was heaven’s light
’round one of your head
This usually only happens
When you’re dead

Connected.
The energy to you
When I’m near you
The energy turns blue
Like an intense flame
And, I’m perfectly sane
Connected.

Ya know it’s true
That that you do
Can come back to haunt you
Ya know it’s true
That you don’t do
Can come back to haunt you

The vision… can you see?
The ghost you created and caused to be

If nothing really matters
Why even bother?
But, matter, it does
Better do your matter
Before you’re latter

No, no, no, don’t ever give up
Yeah, yeah, yeah, have faith in hope
La, la, la we can change the slope

We can glide
We can slide
We can glide
It’s all downhill
we can ride
The rising tide
We can slide

What a thrill

Ought to run and hide

Now, my daddy gonna make their beds

Ya violate my daughter
Why ya ought notta

Ya ought to just give it back
If ya wanna live your life of slack

Can shift, too
To the point where new is knew
Originally, by me
Now, a collaboration as we

As Stratus smiles down from on high

What’s all the rigamarole?
Diggin’ a hole with the mole?
What’s the ruckus
Throwing humanity under the bus?

The story has a morale

You slam it?
Damn it!

Shake off your Rigor mortis
Build the human fortress

Enough immoral shenanigans
