Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Who chose hard?
Dealt card?
No, make it easy
To be
Born free, clearly
Clearly born free
To see you’re free
In a dream scene

Not a moment to discard
Pass hard
Know, make it easy
To be
Born free, clearly
Clearly born free
To see you’re free
In a dream scene

Found to be on guard
Discard “no”
Make it easy
To be
Born free, clearly
Clearly born free
To see you’re free
In a dream scene

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If we ever hope to get out of this
Then there’s something we just can’t miss
If we’re going to make the long-shot
Better give ‘er all we got
Why not?
Give ‘er all we got

If we ever hope to see the light
Then might want to keep insight
If we’re going to make the long-shot
Better give ‘er all we got
Why not?
Give ‘er all we got

If we ever want to solve the riddle
Better stop the piddle-diddle
If we’re going to make the long-shot
Better give ‘er all we got
Why not?
Give ‘er all we got

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Going back and forth
Between yes and no
Guess and I don’t know
It’s easy to see
At least easy for me
The answer for us
Is obvious
Obvious
Up to us

When we threw ourselves
Under the bus
Evidence became clear
Those that you hold near and dear
… for them you need to fear
It’s easy to see
At least easy for me
The answer for us
Is obvious
Obvious
Up to us
Obvious
Up to us

bookmark_borderRat Attack

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Asking me
“What’s to be?”
Pull up a chair and listen good
Things aren’t going the way they should
Fat cat wound up breeding rat
… rat attack
You’re under a rat attack
(Rat-a-tat-attack)
You can’t run
You can’t hide
Can’t escape what’s inside

Question me
What I see?
Take a look at your neighborhood
Things aren’t going the way they should
Fat cat wound up breeding rat
… rat attack
You’re under a rat attack
(Rat-a-tat-attack)
You can’t run
You can’t hide
Can’t escape what you harbor inside

About you
What to do:
Pull up a chair and listen good
Things aren’t going the way they could
Fat cat wound up breeding rat
… rat attack
You’re under a rat attack
(Rat-a-tat-attack)
You can’t run
You can’t hide
Can’t escape what you harbor inside

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Here’s the thing
Free the string
And it’s off floating
Hold on tight
Or it might
Fly away
O.K.?
What did your mother say
Been saying it all day
If you don’t hold on tight
Your balloon is out of sight
Hold on tight
Or it might
Take to flight
Hold on tight
(You know…
Don’t let go!)

So you know
Don’t let go
Watch if winds blow
Hold on tight
Or it might
Fly away
O.K.?
What did your mother say
Been saying it all day
If you don’t hold on tight
Your balloon is out of sight
Hold on tight
Or it might
Take to flight
Hold on tight
(You know…
Don’t let go!)

Spare regret
Don’t forget
Don’t lose the bet
Hold on tight
Or it might
Fly away
O.K.?
What did your mother say
Been saying it all day
If you don’t hold on tight
Your balloon is out of sight
Hold on tight
Or it might
Take to flight
Hold on tight
(You know…
Don’t let go)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Am I to take you serious
Admit your slapstick
Is totally sick
But does your dipstick
Stick into it?
(You know… running a quart low?)

Am I to take you serious

Certainly your stand up is funny
But is your piggy bank out of money
(You know… more than a quarter low?)

Am I to take you serious

No mime
Is a hero of mine
But in your case
Champion closed face
(You know… closed pie hole halo? Hello?!?!)

Am I to take you serious
Is it me… is it us
Serious
Is it you
Is it me
Is it us
Serious?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
In the after all
Who’s the first to fall
Maybe
In the after life
Who is going to save me

And for what it’s worth
First birth on this Earth
Baby
In the after life
Who is going to save me

Why so hard to find
King in humankind
Crazy
In the after life
Who is going to save me

The reign came flooding down
Washed my troubles away
With a resounding sound
Heralding a (k)new day

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I heard to hoard
Doesn’t do much good
When you world is deteriorating
A little too late
For recreating
Since our actions
Are incapacitating
(The hating!?!?)

I hear to fear
Doesn’t do much good
When your world is infuriating
A little too late
For recreating
Since our actions
Are incapacitating
(The hating!?!?)

Been told to fold
Might do some good
When your world is obliterating
A little too late
For recreating
Since our actions
Are incapacitating
(The hating!?!?)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Argh! To concede
The sight makes eyes bleed
Blind take th4e lead
They might shake our creed
The meaning of redeeming
Lost in translation
Silent screaming of the dreaming
Tossed in gyration

We’ll find the blind
Leading Mankind
Unwind
Evolution
Our soul-ution
Damnation of creation
Argh! To concede
The sight makes eyes bleed
Blind take th4e lead
They might shake our creed
The meaning of redeeming
Lost in translation
Silent screaming of the dreaming
Tossed in gyration

bookmark_borderFor Future

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
In the future
I’m not sure
If we can ensure
More future?
The way that things are going
I wouldn’t place a bet
Certainty of not knowing
At least, no yet
So if you want no regret
Yet offer no relief
Please try not to forget
To suffer is belief

And, if, or, or we endure
Can we find the cure for
More future?
The way that things are going
I wouldn’t place a bet
Certainty of not knowing
At least, no yet
So if you want no regret
Yet offer no relief
Please try not to forget
To suffer is belief

Into the future bring more pure
Our core lure — more
More future!
The way that things are going
I wouldn’t place a bet
Certainty of not knowing
At least, no yet
So if you want no regret
Yet offer no relief
Please try not to forget
To suffer is belief

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Fog lights are on
Still can’t see a thing
Delights are gone
Left here wondering
Out loud
In a cloud

Stuck in the headlights
Can’t see anything
Void of delights
Left here wondering
Out loud
In a cloud

Is that a lighthouse?
About to find out
Delights arouse
Here hear me shout
Out of this cloud
Shouting out load
Out of this cloud

bookmark_borderHolding Me Down

Posted on by admin

A song about how gravity saved my life. So though I may complain from time-to-time about her holding me back, thank you for keeping me grounded.

LYRICS
What goes up
Will come down
As long as
Gravity’s ’round
Pulling me back
Pulling me back
Pulling me back
To Earth
Pulling me back
Pulling me back
Pulling me back
Ever since my birth

In spite of my plight
The weight of the world
Unfurled…
Well, here’s the darnedest thing
Now, I sing of the joys gravity brings
Hold me down, down, down
Despite my strife
Saved my life

LYRICS
In time
There’s a little bit of sunshine
Coming this way
And you know
It’s enough to say
I see my shadow
Hope to watch ‘er grow

That’s fine
Please don’t quit, Sunshine
Making my day
And you know
It’s enough to say
I see my shadow
Hope to watch ‘er grow

I’m cryin’
Don’t take my sunshine
Away… please stay
’cause you know
Long enough to say
Still see my shadow
Love watching ‘er grow

As the day goes on
My shadow grows long
While I whistle
To life’s sweet song

LYRICS
Aware of where you are
As well as where you’re going
Aware of where
Over, under, in between
Overt wonder, know to mean

Aware of where you are
Attribute it to knowing
Aware of where
Above, below, be betwixt
To love, to know, be — exist

bookmark_borderFree Air

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
As I stand here breathing it in
Can’t help thinking how lucky I am
The effort it takes to be
When it all comes to me
In search of a glass house resident
Evident
Not prone to throw stone

Still standing taking it in
Breathing in the oxygen
Can’t believe it’s for free
See?
It all came to me
The effort it takes to be
When it all comes to me
In search of a glass house resident
Evident
Not prone to throw stone

Reflecting on the scene I’ve seen
Feeling blessed… know what I mean?
A moment of clarity
“To Be”… it all comes to me
The effort it takes to be
When it all comes to me
In search of a glass house resident
Evident
Not prone to throw stone
