bookmark_borderWound Too Tight

LYRICS
Are you pitching the Earth is flat?
Do you believe in the Man In The Moon?
Are you bitching ’bout where we’re at
Too tight right is a raging loon
Wound too tight
Bound to fight
What the future holds
Their house of cards folds
Under the grumbles and mumbles (mumbles and grumbles)
The house of cards tumbles

Are you pitching conspiracy theory
Do you believe in the tooth fairy
All your bitching… I’m growing weary
If you’re making it by, it’s barely
Wound too tight
Bound to fight
What the future holds
Their house of cards folds
Under the grumbles and mumbles (mumbles and grumbles)
The house of cards tumbles

LYRICS
Hold my beer… will you, bloke?
Fear of fear
Now, I’ll choke
And, is our “society” also fleeting
No one gives a whim
Except for her or him
Only as it relates
To the state…
Of me (me,me,me)
The fallacy of “I’ll give my middle finger to society.”

LYRICS
You certainly do our party no justice, sir.

How free is freedom
Free as the free dumb
Dum, de, dum, dumb
[Fife and drum]

Again, again, again
Pissin’ in the wind
Sprotin’ a stupid grin
Instead of a mile wide smile
Mile wide eye’d I’d smile
Time to begin
In days gone by
Maybe it’s time
To wonder why

As the humane human (hue-men)

Unlikely to get to meet

LYRICS
1,2,3,4,5,6 7/8
It’s not too late
To make it whole
A 1/8th mate
To fill the hole
If it’s hard to bear
We’re almost there
Now our hearts to bare
Become self-aware
Finding the role
Finding the gate
Finding the roll
Before it’s too late
1,2,3,4,5,6 7/8
1, 2
One, too
Won 2
Want to?

Once it was dark
Then came the light
The End in sight
Hope has been sparked
Out of the dark

Flavor endeavor

Into the shimmering shine
Out on a lark
Having the best of time

LYRICS
I was taken aback
Almost had a heart attack
Happened right before my eyes
Reality in disguise
I’d say I nearly chocked
Reality cleverly cloaked
I find it hard to believe
My racing heart relieve

I was taken aback
Almost had a heart attack
Happened right before my eyes
Reality in disguise
I’d say I nearly chocked
Reality cleverly cloaked
I find it hard to buy
Blood pressure’s rising too high

I was taken aback
Almost had a heart attack
Happened right before my eyes
Reality in disguise
I’d say I nearly chocked
Reality cleverly cloaked
Shocked by the surprise
Temperature’s starting to rise

LYRICS
You’ve got it hummin’
You have it comin’
You told me before
About confidence
And then ever since
Been grateful to you, too
Been grateful forever more
… hummin’
You have it comin’

Walking on fences
Surveying evidence
Making reference(s)
Offensive defense

Been grateful
The collateral
The collateral damages
The savages
… of love

LYRICS
Sometimes it seems
Life is but a dream
Sugar and spice
Peaches and cream
Enjoy it while we/you/I can
No telling if we do it again

Sometimes it feels life
Is full of love
Faith and hope
Raining down from above
A hush
Awash in a flood of love
swimmingly
Life is but a dream
[Enjoy it while we’re here
Enjoy what we can hear
… music go the ear]

LYRICS
Road high or road low
We still have a long way to go
… to tomorrow
Fox is in the hen house
Fire in need of a douse
Let it out
Put it out
Break out

Road high or road low
We still have a long way to go
… to tomorrow
Howling dog needs relief
Burning both ends give grief
Let it out
Put it out
Breakout

Into the light
Out of the shadows
In the delight
Throws of the shadows
Step into the light
Throw your shadow
Move into the light

LYRICS
Is it insane the amount of rain
Is it insane the amount of reign
Raining down… the downpour
Reigning down… on the poor
Rivers raging overtake the banks
Beggars raging overtake the banks

I’m convinced: no matter the crime
You can’t stop the flowing of time
Until then, reign them in
Look around from higher ground
Rivers receding… the recovery starts
The light shining… opening hearts

bookmark_borderA Runaway

LYRICS
Rabbit, squirrel
Chaos, turmoil
Out chasing the wind, again
And, I’m running under the sun
Running ’till the day I’m done

Easy, boy
There’s so much more life to enjoy
Wouldn’t want to see you come undone
Wouldn’t want an emergency… no not one

Out chasing the wind, again
And, I’m running under the sun
Running ’till the day I’m done
Running away?
Running astray?
… just running… running all day
Out chasing the wind, again
