bookmark_borderGaelic in Him

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do you think it’s the Gaelic in him
That posses him to jig?
A dash of Irish
Knew hymn
More or less roots dig
Trace it back through the saints
All day through the knights
If the veils too faint
Head to the light

Do you think it’s the Gaelic in him
That posses him to jig?
A dash of Irish
Knew hymn
More or less roots dig
The origins of the land
Come to understand
The age of romance
With “the dance”

bookmark_borderExit In

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Exit is the way to get back in
From where you leave
Is where you go
Exit is the way to get back in
The moment you leave
You begin
From when you leave
You come to know
The past you weave
The future show
The door swings both ways
In or out decays
Consider in the stays
How to spend the day?

bookmark_borderFlying in the Face

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Flying in the face of reality
At odds with rationality
Determined to define difficulty
Flying in the face of reality
At odds with rationality
Determined to define non-conformity
On a tangent
Out of bounds
Running rampant
Alarm sounds

Flying in the face of reality
At odds with rationality
Determined to define difficulty
Drying on my face… more tears flow
Odds are low at coming to know
Destined to define non-conformity
On a tangent
Out of bounds
Running rampant
Alarm sounds

Flying in the face of reality
At odds with rationality
Determined to define difficulty
Flying by the season of reason
There is no time for reason or rhyme
Destined to define non-conformity
On a tangent
Out of bounds
Running rampant
Alarm sounds

Chords: D C A D7 / A E A D7; 116 BPM

bookmark_borderRound the Bend

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
As we start to round the bend
To The End
I begin to see how we’ll begin
Again
A new way to see ultraviolet… x-ray
A knew way to be
A non-violent all day

As we start to round the bend
To The End
I begin to see how we’ll begin
Again
A new way to live
Carefree freewill
A knew way to give
Start the heart we will

As we start to round the bend
To The End
I begin to see how we’ll begin
Again
A new entity
Collective our soul
A knew clarity
Extrospective our goal

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Back to the dark
Headed to light
Out of the dark
In to insight
Just like you said
It’s happening
Inside my head
It’s happening
On the start
To the hear
And back again

Not looking back
Headed to light
Getting the knack
In to insight
Just like you said
It’s happening
Inside my head
It’s happening
On the start
To the hear
And back again

Back to the dark
Facing the light
Head out of dark
In to insight
Just like you said
It’s happening
Inside my head
It’s happening
On the start
To the hear
And back again

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Just turn around
See what’s been found
Just turn around
There’s a whole world
To unfold
To envelop
Outside the envelope
Just turn around
See what’s been found
Just turn around
[Dm7(11) jam]
There’s a big wide world
Yet to view
And a lot of things
Left to do
[A lot of things I’d love to do
With you]
[A / Am jam]
Just turn around
See what’s been found
Just turn around
There’s a big wide world
Yet to view
And a lot of things
Left to do

LYRICS
Hard to choose
Just can’t lose
If picking both
is not a choice?
Might as well
Roll the dice
Craps! Snake eyes
Tell no lies
Keep rollin’
Keep rollin’

Hard to choose
Just can’t lose
Baby needs some new shoes
Hard to choose to lose
If picking both
is not a choice?
Might as well
Roll the dice
Craps! Snake eyes
Tell no lies
Keep rollin’
Keep rollin’

bookmark_borderIf Only….

Posted on by admin

If only it was that simple
Maybe it wouldn’t be such a gamble
Start The End in a scramble
Broken eggs
Does your luck have legs?
Break a leg
On my knees and beg
the odds are at odds
The risk of the risk
Take in to account
Lief’s amount

If there were just no mistakes
Maybe there wouldn’t be so much at stake
Start The End with an earthquake
Broken eggs
Does your luck have legs?
Break a leg
On my knees and beg
the odds are at odds
The risk of the risk
Take in to account
Lief’s amount

LYRICS
I didn’t hear the light switch click
Now I’m standing here
In the dark
Waiting on that magic spark
… on a lark

I didn’t know the sun went down
Don’t know where to go
In the dark
Waiting on that magic spark
… on a lark

Now come on
Who pulled the plug
Waiting on dawn
Through the dark
Waiting on that magic spark
… on a lark

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
There’s a ripple
On our surface
There’s a rip in
The human race
So it seems
Our seams
Need sown
No deceit in deficit; to own

Is there a tear
In the fabric
Is it hip
Or is it tragic?
So it seems
Our seams
Need sown
No deceit in deficit; to own

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do you have a healthy superego?
Feel guilt for your wrongs?
Do you know
Or same ole song
Won’t be long
’til we go

Have a healthy superego?
Won’t be long before we go
Right the wrong…
Before we go
You know
Superego’s health
Check the temperature, for sure
Feel the forehead
Make sure you’re not dead

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Did you hear that sound
Underfoot
Uh oh! Must’ve stepped in it
Hate to look and see what’s found
Uh oh! Hate stepping in shhhhh…
Wait!
Better hold my tongue
’till my nose gets done
And that last step is undone
Yeah, the misdone is undone
So there’s no misstep regret
Noooo… no need to fret

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Far wide ocean
Large sea
When compared to me
The tide rolls in
High tide
Magnified
My position

Big, big mountain
I see
The valley in me
The tide rolls in
High tide
Magnified
My position

Forever sky
All the stars
Compared to where we are
The tide rolls in
High tide
Magnified
My position
