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

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
They say his heart cubed that day
From that day forever clued
Heart’s been cubed (Heart³)
Forever clued

He never would behave that way
Once his heart grew that day
From that day forever clued
Heart’s been cubed
Forever clued

Feel the hate just fade away
(Hate dissipate)
Now that your love made way
Heart’s been cubed
Forever clued

“And what happened then? Well, in Whoville they say that the Grinch’s small heart grew three sizes that day. And then the true meaning of Christmas came though, and the Grinch found the strength of ten Grinches plus two.”

Standing round the wishing well
Show and tell
Tell me what you’re wishing for
Tell me more
Are you wishing for the poor
That there’ll be poor no more?

Standing round the wishing well
Show and tell
Tell me what you’re wishing for
Are you wishing “end the gore”
That there’ll be war no more?
Lord, do tell

Standing round the wishing well
Show and tell
Tell me what you’re wishing for
Do you wish peace will endure
That there’ll be no more war?
All is well

Hoping the days don’t fade away
Before the kids have a say
The power to understand
Lay in their hand
They’re looking out for all of us
Making the world more fabulous
They’re looking out for all of us
Giving faith to Miraculous

Hoping my days don’t slip away
Before the children make way (make way!)

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

Hello opportunity!
Oh so glad you see in me
The possibility
To be what I can be
The mortality
To stress the urgency
Have faith in humankind

During this holiday time

Hello opportunity!
Oh so glad you see in me
The possibility
To be what I can be

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]

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

Hard to choose
Just can’t lose
If picking both

Just can’t lose
Baby needs some new shoes

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
The scent of pine in here
Means “the tree” is near
Decorated or not
That sweet smell
Hits the spot

There! Wafting in the air
The cookies must be cookin’

Hits the spot

Mmmm… that sugar and spice
An aroma oh so nice
Just a dream or not
That sweet smell
Hits the spot

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

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

LYRICS
The knights mount up
Their colors blowing in the wind
Beast upon beast
Riding into The End
To write the final chapter
Final verse

The nights lit up
The colors glowing from what’s been
Bombardment meant
Bringing on The End
To write the final chapter
Final verse

They can’t give up
Their colors running with the blood
Belly of the beast
Always wins in The End
To write the final chapter
Final verse

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
