Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Hold back, hold back
Ability’s awful lean
I just can’t seem…
… to…
Hold back, hold back
I get that urge I’ve got to satisfy
Can’t satisfy no matter how I try
Am I choosing to die…
… and taking you, too?

Hold back, hold back
Ability’s awful lean
I just can’t seem…
… to…
Hold back, hold back
I guess you’d call it urge overkill
Immaturity in the skill
To discipline within
… and with you, too
Weeeeee

Hold back, hold back
Ability’s awful lean
I just can’t seem…
… to…
Hold back, hold back
That dark cloud that always looms
Consume, consume, consume
It’s clear for me to see
… me and you, too — we
Weeeeee

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Taking baby steps
OK, maybe when you were young
Now you’re in your depths
The fat lady’s already sung
All you options run
The future’s come undone
We arrived long ago
Or didn’t you know
Yes, been there
Unaware?

Taking giant steps
Got to make up for lost time
Past time to have leapt
From taking part in the climate crime
All you options run
The future’s come undone
We arrived long ago
Or didn’t you know
Yes, been there
Unaware?

Being in her shoes
Seem there’s quite a lot to lose?
Time has come to choose
The “should haves” or the do’s?
All you options run
The future’s come undone
We arrived long ago
Or didn’t you know
Yes, been there
Unaware?

Fly
My time sure does fly
Right by
At least for me
How about for you?

In time I’m….
Flies right bye (sigh)
Catch it ‘for I die

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
My momma has a first name
She took my daddy’s last
They brought me in to the big game
With a net to cast
Let’s see what I can catch
Maybe a dream or two
And an idea ready to hatch
Pull them into view

My momma has a first name
She took my daddy’s last
Life will never be the same
Having given me the grasp
Let’s see what I can catch
Maybe a dream or two
And an idea ready to hatch
Pull them into view

My daddy has a first name
My momma took his last
Don’t want to give it more fame
Just add what life goes past
Let’s see what I can catch
Maybe a dream or two
And an idea ready to hatch
Pull them into view

bookmark_borderRight at Us

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It’s coming right at us
I can see it coming
Too late to cry
Too late to fuss
Better off running
Look to the sky
Even the birds can’t fly
… can’t find their way home
What once was dry
Kiss it good-bye
Bye-bye
… be gone in the foam
(Can’t find my way home)

The eye of the storm
Looking us in the I’s
Today’s new norm
In yesterday lies
Look to the sky
Even the birds can’t fly
… can’t find their way home
What once was dry
Kiss it good-bye
Bye-bye
… be gone in the foam
(Can’t find my way home)

I said it was coming
Now that it’s here
Thunder and lightning
Clear it gets frightening
Look to the sky
Even the birds can’t fly
… can’t find their way home
What once was dry
Kiss it good-bye
Bye-bye
… be gone in the foam
(Can’t find my way home)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Going out on a limb
Going to stretch who I am
Might need to catch
Where I’ve been
Going out on a limb
Will you catch me if I fall
Knowing out on a limb
The creek will be the call

Going way, way out
Going to fetch who I am
Might learn about
Where I’ve been
Going out on a limb
Will you catch me if I fall
Knowing out on a limb
The creek will be the call

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Why don’t you go
Right ahead and say what you mean
I’d love to know
What gleam there is to glean
All of your passion
Rapped up verbally
Wrapped in your fashion
Compassion nobley
So sweet you speak naturally
A sweet refreshing treat

Now that I know
In your head just what you mean
We’ve got to go
Surreal in the serene
All of your passion
Rapped up verbally
Wrapped in your fashion
Compassion nobley
So sweet you speak naturally
A sweet refreshing treat

A song about The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment

LYRICS
You’re the wet dreams
Happening in my genes
In a turning of the tide
Saw the sky open wide
Water, well…
It’s hard to tell
If it’ll be
How it’s ever been
… again

While in route caught a drought
About to find out… about
Water, well…
It’s hard to tell
If it’ll ever be
How it’s been … again
It’s hard to tell
If we’ll ever see
If we’ll ever be
Where we’ve been… again

bookmark_borderYour Cage

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Out of your cage… was it self-made?
About your rage… think it will fade?
Does the further away you roam
The distance put to your home
Impact the way you fell
About what’s real
Feel real
Real feel
Feel real
Feel free to join hands
Across all the lands
Everyone understands
Everyone can see
A peace / piece
Of love
In harmony

Didn’t you know… you’re free to go
Why so slow… on with the show
Does the further away you roam
The distance put to your home
Impact the way you fell
About what’s real
Feel real
Real feel
Feel real
Feel free to join hands
Across all the lands
Everyone understands
Everyone can see
A peace / piece
Of love
In harmony

Out on your own… fell alone?
Isn’t Earth everyone’s home?
Does the further away you roam
The distance put to your home
Impact the way you fell
About what’s real
Feel real
Real feel
Feel real
Feel free to join hands
Across all the lands
Everyone understands
Everyone can see
A peace / piece
Of love
In harmony

LYRICS
Woke up
Got up
Headed out the door
Once more
Why wear a suit and tie
Up to the day you die
What for?

Wake up
Get up
Then head out that door
For sure
Why wear a suit and tie
Up to the day you die
What for?

Woke up
Got up
Opened up the door
For more
Wear wings to touch the sky
Fly high
Won’t ever die
Strive to stay alive
Thrive

LYRICS
Shake your assets
Give ’em a shake
See if it’ll take
Shake your assets
Give ’em a shake
See what they’ll take
’cause I’m warning you
The value
Is going down

The higher the tide
The lower you ride
Talkin’ saline
Know what I mean?
Feel the Earth move
Under my feet
To the beat

bookmark_borderThe Art of Living

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Always keep a sharp blade
Never cut toward yourself
To avoid the bleed
Believe
Something you do not need to experience
To know it’s best not
Like to succumb to age
Kicked off the world’s stage
Buried deep
Innards seep
And left to rot
It’s best not
(Take my word… it’s best not)

Somethings you’ll forever experience
Especially the essence of presence
Live while alive
Why not?
Something you do not need to experience
To know it’s best not
Like to succumb to age
Kicked off the world’s stage
Buried deep
Innards seep
And left to rot
It’s best not

LYRICS
Start climbing
Going to climb to the highest branch
The more skill the less chance
I’m climbing
Going to climb as high as I can
Climb this tree
See what I see
Every direction 360 degrees
Extrospection behumbles indeed

Start climbing
Going to climb to the mountain top
Going to climb, no, won’t ever stop
I’m climbing
Going to climb to the highest height
Going to climb till I see the light
I’m looking
Every direction 360 degrees
Extrospection behumbles indeed

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When a push comes to shove
As it usually does
Things get 1) nasty 2) ugly
Hold my beer
Give a nudge
And, I won’t hold a grudge
Let’s get friendly
Please don’t hesitate
Oh no don’t ever wait
Call any time of day
… I’m on my way!
The word, just say

The word I think of
Undoubtedly love
Rings yours truly
With cheer
Give it all
Clear the castle wall
Hearts sing freely
Please don’t hesitate
Oh no don’t ever wait
Call any time of day
… I’m on my way!
The word, just say

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do you wish that you were in Hollywood
’cause you’re feeling things haven’t gone the way they should
No sense
Feeling sorry
Feeling sorry for me
’cause I am
So happy
As happy
As can be

Do you crave to be living on Wall Street
So you behave in ways to bring the world to your feet
No sense
Feeling sorry
Feeling sorry for me
’cause I am
So happy
As happy
As can be

Is all you ant to be is somewhere else
Fail to
Realize
The world is our home
No sense
Feeling sorry
Feeling sorry for me
’cause I am
So happy
As happy
As can be
