LYRICS
Just a simple man?
I don’t know if I am
Can only tell you
What I know is true

My attitude
Is servitude
To all
Be it greater than me

If the solitude of solicitude
Is getting to you
You’d stand tall
In Harmony
And want to be

Open your heart and see

Just a simple life
I don’t know if that’s what we live
Until love is rife
Bare your soul and give

LYRICS
I’m looking into you
Want to find out your point-of-view
I want to know everything you do

You seem to be the police of the world
You seem to be the boss of told
You seem to be an illustrator of disaster

Who do you think you are
You went to far

You are an impersonator
Who do you think you are…
God?
Or an impersonator
Wearing funny clothes
Some sort-of uniform
Cause you want to swarm
With your hate and evilness
You’re not at home with peace
Not in the least

I’m looking into you

Chasing Rays.mp3 (Free MP3 Download or Streaming Audio)

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
A / D / A
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.

LYRICS
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

LYRICS
Did that tree just try to kill me?

Many dead… mostly from trees.

Geeze.. giving them diseasecreatin 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

bookmark_borderOver And Over

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

ABOUT THE SONG

Written and recorded Halloween, October 31, 2012. Halloween is suppose to be a day in which the spirit world and the human world co-mingle. What if your evil spirit was in your head every day? You have got to get rid of it… do you know the way? Then, you’ll be living in blessed bliss.

You’re way to wacky
Not to survive
You’re the one always trying…
You always strive to survive
Stay alive
Way outside the norm
You’ll weather their storm

Let them say what they want to say about you
You’re the one whose heart is true
You have equal rights
Not to be equal
Equality doesn’t mean neutral
