Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Give them what they want
For self-fulfilling taunt
The damned demand x2
All day long
The damned demand x2
Done me wrong
Same old song

Give them what they want?
To rot in their wrought
The damned demand x2
All day long
The damned demand x2
Done me wrong
Same old song

Give them what they want
For a history that’ll haunt
The damned demand x2
All day long
The damned demand x2
Done me wrong
Same old song

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I want to step up
I want to step up
I want a peek of the peak
I want to step up
Up to the top
To see what I can see
As far as I can see
From sea to shining sea
They can’t hide
The other side

I can’t bear
To be that bearer
That climbs over there
I can’t beat
to be that bearer
At the other side I stare
As far as I can see
From sea to shining sea
They can’t hide
The other side

LYRICS
Hush now baby
Don’t cry
Shhh… don’t make a peep
Night of safety
Kissed by
An angel as you sleep
Hush now baby
Night of safety
Hush now baby
Night of save-ty
Save me!

Hush now Mama
Don’t cry
Shhh… no need to weep
Night of karma
Kissed by
An angel as you sleep
Hush now Mama
Life’s a drama
Hush now Mama
Free from trauma
Tragedy…
Or, comedy?

LYRICS
Did you finally give up
On your serene dream?
I beg you, please, backup
And pickup
The pieces
So “to dream” never ceases

Aspiration inspiration
Amaze with stargaze
Envision vision mission
Until you
Make your dreams come true

Please don’t ever give up
Dreaming up dreams
No matter how far it seems
Do all you can do
To bring it into view

Letting your muse loose
Contemplate the desired fate
Anticipate completion date
Initiate. Gestate. Create.
Anytime you choose

Once they turn the switch on
The current starts to flow
In the stream of a dream
Which way do you want to go?

In the wake of awake

To help you float along

LYRICS
Mixing ignorance with indifference
Partake in a pesky pestilence
I see
Pesky
Pestilence

Ignorance of indifference
Intake a pesky pestilence
I see
Pesky

Ignorance of indifference
Forsake your pesky pestilence
I see

Pestilence

No silence on indifference
The relevance of indifference
I see
Exactly
The difference

LYRICS
When the messenger warned
Is the messenger scorned?
Please don’t confuse
The bearer with bad news
Take your stance
Fallacies of irrelevance
A, em…
Ad hominem
Touché
Tu quoque
You and me
Equals we

But, you can’t evade
Calling a spade a spade
That’s what it’s all about
Calling a liar out
Even know what you meant
Making an argument?
A, em…
Ad hominem
Touché
Tu quoque
You and me
Equals we

LYRICS
Sucker punch
Out to lunch
Hit me when I’m lookin’
The other way
Think I”m OK?

Hypocritical testimonial
Lying through your teeth?
In disbelief
I’m in disbelief

You know I am
Finding genuine
Looking for true blue
All the way through
Can I count on you?

As a matter of fact
Give a pat on the back
Loving your giving
Loving your living
Keep on believing

LYRICS
Can’t wait ’til the fill
Of the chlorophyll
Makes it colorful

Dread the leaves
Turning brown… then, dead
The drab attire of the tree
Starts to get to me

Waiting for the neutral Fall
To turn wonderful
In the Spring
Hatching the amazing

All hail Mother Nature
For she’s sure
To bring green
To our grayscale scene
Hail the Queen!

LYRICS
Excuse me, Dear
Your message isn’t clear
Exactly
What are you doing here?
Earthling bound
Earthling, bound

I heard she said
“Don’t bow your head”
No, don’t cry
Raise your head toward the sky
Raise your voice for the sky
Earthling found
Earthling, found

Rise up! Leave behind letting down

LYRICS
I thought I’d be back here
Someday
Just didn’t think it so soon
Didn’t think it’d be
Today
Opposite of high noon
Counterclockwise sunrise

I could feel the cycle
Spinning
From the darkside of the moon
New/knew the shadows would be
Thinning
Approaching high noon
Counterclockwise sunrise

As the cycle turns
Full cycle
From The End an upward trend
Out of the depths of your
Soulful purple
From night into the light
Counterclockwise sunrise

LYRICS
He’s got a mean disposition
Do you know what I mean…
Mean
Down right ornery
Ya see
He really had to go
Ya know
What I mean
Mean
Got himself in the situation
With his backside in a position
That caused a mean disposition
Are you aware
You’d better stand away from there
Stand back
From his back
’cause if you’re over there over there
You might not be coming back
He’s got a mean disposition
Do you know what I mean…
Mean
Got himself in the situation
With his backside in a position
That caused a mean disposition

LYRICS
If it’s redundant
To savor the flavor
Then, so…? Let it be done!
Please don’t let the taste
Go to waste
Making haste of leaving
Nothing to waste

Holiday pundit
“To savor the flavor”
Let’s go! Let it be done

Could you’ve meant
Flavor the savor?
I don’t know… can it be done?

A redundant chant:
“Savor the flavor!”
