LYRICS
Holdfast
Having a hard time getting a grasp
Holdfast
Get an impression but will it last
All shall pass
Grains of sand
In an hourglass
All amass
Will / we’ll withstand
Until we pass

Outlast
The day ahead will be behind
Outlast
The wisemen said “of kind mind”
All shall pass
Grains of sand
In an hourglass
All amass
Will / we’ll withstand
Until we pass

Alas
Got what I came for and so much more
Alas
What came before can endure
All shall pass
Grains of sand
In an hourglass
All amass
Will / we’ll withstand
Until we pass

LYRICS
Hammers fall
Impacts all
Do you find it riveting
Resisting pivoting
After all
Hammers fall

Hammers fall
Impacts all
Is it unbelievable
We’re all so gullible
After all
Hammers fall

Hammers fall
Impacts all
Should’ve thought to think ahead
Beats a hammer on my head
After all
Hammers fall

Hammers fall
Impacts all
After all my id did
Who am I to kid?
After all
Hammers fall

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Questioning the afterlife
Are you listening?
Rationing my modern strife
Our suffering
All the better to live
The more I have to give
(Wait for it kid…
Wish I did)

Motioning affirmative
Stick with living
Notioning the cumulative
Keep on adding
All the better to live
The more I have to give
(Wait for it kid…
Wish I did)

Just be glad to have a thumb
That’s opposing
Not to mention the freedom
And supposing
All the better to live
The more I have to give
(Wait for it kid…
Wish I did)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Oh so sorry
To hear your story
Sounds just like mine
All was going fine
Till they ignore
Nothing more
They’ll defy you
Till you’ll implore
Maybe more
They’ll define you
And, me too

Are you leery
Of growing weary
Well so am I
And here is why
Till they ignore
Nothing more
They’ll defy you
Till you’ll implore
Maybe more
They’ll define you
What to do?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
No use in crying
Over spilt ilk
Babies are dying
While we’re wearing silk
No excuse
To cut loose

No use in lying
About our guilt
Their bones are lying
Where our city’s built
No excuse
To cut loose

No use in trying
To avoid responsibility
Reason they’re dying
Is easy to see
No excuse
To cut loose

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Pleasant weather not withstanding
Wasn’t planning for another
Rain downpour
At the time all was fine
Minding business that was mine
And nothing more
It became very clear
Disturbance was near
Clouds obscured the sun
As their tears started to run
Starting to suspect
She’s due our respect
(Bow now)

Wonder whether understanding
Distance swimming help at winning
A deluge
At the time all was fine
Minding business that was mine
How to seek refuge
It became very clear
Disturbance was near
Clouds obscured the sun
As their tears started to run
Starting to suspect
She’s due our respect
(Bow now)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Orbit
Closest star
Won’t quit
Let’s go far
Turning tears into years

Baby
Star’s moving
Maybe
Revolving
Leaving fears in arrears

Baby
Can’t you see
Surely
Galaxy
Our years are in gears

A song about seeing the James Webb Space Telescope images and realizing the sun is moving through space… along with our whole galaxy.

LYRICS
Filled it before
Fill it some more
You haven’t changed your way
To and including this day
Until you have no voice
’cause to chance you left choice

Exploited before
Exploit it some more
I haven’t changed my way
To and including this day
Until I have no voice
Having left chance you left choice

Used it before
Use it some more
We haven’t changed our way
To and including this day
So now we have no voice
We left our chance to choice

You say it’s over now
Foresee you somehow?
Fear not
For naught
Give all
You’ve got

You say it’s over now
Foresee you somehow?
Tear up

You say it’s over now
Foresee you somehow?
Give love
Get love

LYRICS
IN your mind’s eye
DO you see a sea
Do you see a shimmering sea
From see to shining see
As you fly
You fly high
Through the sky

In your mind’s eye
Can you hear what’s going on here
Do you hold dear what is near
As you wave good-bye
As you fly
You fly high
Through the sky

In your mind’s eye
Can you touch much of a feel
Is the sign unsealed for real
You’re your mind’s I
As you fly
You fly high
Through the sky

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Did you catch that
Important fact?
Sea level’s rising
While rivers are sinking
Is it surprising
Man wasn’t thinking

Did you catch that
Important fact?
Temperature’s rising
And glaciers are shrinking
Is it surprising
Man wasn’t thinking

Did you catch that
Important fact?
Frequency’s rising
No doubt Man’s linking
Is it surprising
Man wasn’t thinking

Did you catch that
Important fact?
Is it surprising
Man wasn’t thinking
The water’s not safe for drinking
There’s no water left for drinking
Won’t much matter… no one’s left drinking

LYRICS
Think that we could
Go any faster
Knock on would
Might out last her
The changing of the seasons
For all the wrong reasons
Rearranging
Till unchanging
Sole sol in the hottest
Did away with all the rest
(Did away with the rest
Stuck with just the hottest)

Think that we should
Try n’ out last her
Knock on would
Avoidin’ disaster
(Our disaster)
The changing of the seasons
For all the wrong reasons
Rearranging
Till unchanging
Sole sol
Sole soul
Sole sol
El sol in the hottest
Did away with all the rest
(Did away with the rest
Stuck with just the hottest)

bookmark_borderA Shout Out

Posted on by admin

Song of the day is about a quote I heard a scientist say, “Politicians are fighting a war against physics. You can’t win a war against physics.”

LYRICS
I’d like to give a shout out
… a shout out to the drought
Since you’re so hot
Why not
Shout out
And a shout out to the rain
The rains that still remain
The reign of rain
Till flood
Boils blood
How about a shout out to the wind
Ferocious wind won’t rescind
Blowin’ in the wind
No sirs
Answer

bookmark_borderThe Sting

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
From the front end
To the backstop
Forget amend
Can’t stop the clock
Holding back won’t matter
It won’t stop the sting
Watch as the brains scatter
Missing everything

From the upside
To the get-down
We will reside
Make it our own
Holding back won’t matter
It won’t stop the sting
Watch as the brains scatter
Missing everything

From the side way
To the high way
There is no way
In the low way
Holding back won’t matter
It won’t stop the sting
Watch as the brains scatter
Missing everything

LYRICS
Building a bridge of dreams
Sowing up the seams
Building a bridge of dreams
So-ing up the seems
Focus on the rest of us
There’s not much to discuss
The dreams that are best
Include the rest

Climbing a mountain of dreams
Sowing up the seams
Climbing a mountain of dreams
So-ing up the seems
Focus on the rest of us
There’s not much to discuss
The dreams that are best
Include the rest

Weaving a web of dreams
Sowing up the seams
Weaving a web of dreams
So-ing up the seems
Focus on the rest of us
There’s not much to discuss
The dreams that are best
Include the rest
