Posted on by admin

LYRICS
This is a story of things to come
Things to come as they come undone
What we’ll take is more fame and fake
What we’ll make is the same mistake

The same old story of things to come
Hands are wrung as we come undone
What we’ll take is more “For God’s sake!”
What we’ll make is the same mistake

The moral of the story of things to come
Don’t be the cause to come undone
Take less
Make less mess than we create
Give more
Before reaching our end date

Dum ditty dum

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’m thinking there must be something
On my mind again
The name of the song sung
Is on the tip of my tongue
If only I could remember
Where to begin….

Prefer stick or carrot
Hoard it quick or repeat?

Prefer sour
Or so sweet
Final hour
Or repeat?

Rather live
Try to die
Rather give
Love’s reply

Remember what’s on my mind
Try to be kind

Chords: Em Em7 / Em Bm A A7sus4 Em; Part II @ 128 BPM

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Get on your marks
Get ready to go
Let’s throw some sparks
We’ll put on a show
The human race
We set the pace
Of survival
We’re face-to-face
With the human race
Our rival

Out of the chutes
We’re on a roll
Freed from our roots
Or digging a hole?
The human race
We set the pace
Of survival
We’re face-to-face
With the human race
Our rival

The finish line
Comin’ ’round the bend
Before our time
Came to “The End”
The human race
We set the pace
Of survival
We’re face-to-face
With the human race
Our rival

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can you tell me if I got this right
The falling rain obscures sunlight
The falling reign obscures sunlight
A mirage disguised as camouflage
Where I am more than meets the eye
You, too?

Clouds form a shroud and shield from view
In broad daylight the sky so blue
A mirage disguised as camouflage
Where I am more than meets the eye
You, too?

The daylight is going to squirrel a hole
Letting delight play her role
Rainbows from rain reflect sunlight
The falling reign’s final sight
The daylight is going to squirrel a hole
Letting delight play her role
Play her role
Let her roll
A mirage disguised as camouflage
Where I am more than meets the eye
You, too?

Chords: A7 A / C G D / D A; Part II @ 80 BPM

LYRICS
Rectify I
Facts hold true
Specify why
The things I do
No escaping the reckoning’s due
Justify my ways and means
Electrify the days and scenes

Rectify I
Facts hold true
Specify why
The things I do
No escaping the reckoning’s due
Justify the days I’ve seen
Electrify the ways and dreams

Rectify I
Facts hold true
Specify why
The things I do
No escaping the reckoning’s due
Justify the fat and lean
Electrify the plays and seems

Imagination
The root of all creation

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Confirmed by choice
Silence your voice
Teetering on the tottering
Leaning over the edge
Wishing and washing
Standing on our ledge
Driving wedge

Inaction in action
No satisfaction
Teetering on the tottering
Leaning over the edge
Wishing and washing
Standing on our ledge
Driving wedge

United we stand
Divided we fall
Time to understand
We make the call
For the I, me, my, mine
It’s come time
The crime
Is past its prime

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
With a few 6-strings
And an old tin cup
For you
On cue
Pick-me-up
Ever shifting point-of-view
Or strictly speaking just for you
The meaning of the lyric
Depends on yo you hear it
The feeling of the music
Is all in how you use it
Here’s a sine
Wave to you
Love above
Shine on you

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Sprout out
From under the dirt
About
That springtime flirt
That’s life
It’s worth pursuing
Figure
That’s what’s doing
Doesn’t it feel right
Stretching toward the light
Knowing within sight / with insight
Delight

Breakout
From under the earth
Find out
About giving birth
New life
That’s worth doing
Nature
Endeavor ensuing
Doesn’t it feel right
Stretching toward the light
Knowing within sight / with insight
Delight

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The page is blank
Bright white
No throwing shade
Wade into the light
Words made
Onto the page
Setting the stage

As the thoughts flow
Know where to go
Let the pen show
The foundation laid
Words made
Onto the page
Setting the stage

Chapter and verse
There is no reverse
Present immerse
Watch future fade
Words made
Onto the page
Setting the stage
The message we send
Until “The End”

Chords: A Bb A / F G A; Part III @ 130 BPM (Tango)
Instrumentation: Vocals, Guitar

bookmark_borderPagan Festival

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Is it a pagan festival
Or the debutante’s virgin ball
Some underlying meaning with bad intent
Or convening where love’s meant
Move meant
Get our act together
(Let’s) put on a show
No matter the weather
We’ve got to go
Heave-ho!

Is it an ancient ritual
Or post-punk individual
Society’s ill intent
Or what a sole soul sent
Move meant
Get our act together
(Let’s) put on a show
No matter the weather
We’ve got to go
Heave-ho!

Chords: Am G / G E / E Am; Part II @ 150 BPM
Instrumentation: Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Keyboards (Yamaha PSR740, Korg PS60, MicroKorg)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Living while stark turns dark
Humans embark, stomp, march
Lurch forth
Crusaders at church
Weigh man
In the scales of justice
… “just” is

Live by the sword
Not to hold your word
Die by the lie
Why?
Nice try?
Deny

bookmark_borderStray Away

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The morning turns to afternoon
Soon the day turns into the night
Light comes… the (k)new day
Take the time
To let the mind
Stray

Daylight coming into sight
It’s dawning on me
Insight gained from mental flight
Pull back… and see
Take the time
To let the mind
Stray

Thinking I’m thankful
For the day coming my way
Thinking how thought-full
Is the way to make my day
Take the time
To let the mind
Stray

LYRICS
I don’t know what to do
I thought that I knew
But, I don’t know what to do
Given the rate of change
No time to rearrange
Best to embark
On your ark
Given the rate of rise
Should come as no surprise
Can never forget regret

I thought that you knew
Was depending on you
Now, you didn’t pull through
Depending on me
Now I see
Depending on we
Catastrophe
Depending on you
Thought you knew
Depending on me
Now I see
Depending on we
Catastrophe

LYRICS
Who else wants to know
What’s inside the box
Who else wants to know
What the key unlocks?
Pandora’s paradox
Ope3n th4 lid
See what you got
Since you did
Can’t be forgot
Why? Why not?

Who else wants to go
Inside of the box
Who else wants to know
Where the music rocks?
Pandora’s paradox
Ope3n th4 lid
See what you got
Since you did
Can’t be forgot
Why? Why not?

Where else is the flow
Outside of the box
Where else is the flow
Out of the locks?
Me… into the see
Know to flow
To the see

Pandora’s paradox
Ope3n th4 lid
See what you got
Since you did
Can’t be forgot
Why? Why not?
