LYRICS
Set yourself free
Let me be

A jerk of the knee
Reaction
Brought out the ugly
Complexion
Set yourself free
Let me be

Wanna tick of maybe a flea
Something you can’t shake easily
Set yourself free
Let me be

You got the stain on the brain
You couldn’t refrain
Sucking/flushing down the drain
Set yourself free
Let me be

Gag reflex inflects
Expulsion of regrets
Still, inflect
Less ill will
Set yourself free
Let me be

LYRICS
Feeling a bit abrupt
Over the corrupt
But know in The End
Injustice ills will mend
It’s alright now

Is there any reason
They taste of food poison
Oh, godspeed and quick
Stop us from getting sick

When the scales balance — wow!
Alright and how
It’s alright now

Alright Now!  .mp3

LYRICS
Friend or foe?
Hard to know
Hard to know
Friend or foe?

That’s the way things can go
If we don’t say “No!”
Friend or foe?
Hard to know

Who would of guessed the law ‘ld lie
Promise, cross my heart… hope to die
Friend or foe?
Hard to know

How did all the cops become criminals
On the evolutionary scale barely animals
Friend or foe?
Hard to know

Take advantage of the disadvantaged
The whole world should be outraged
Friend or foe?

LYRICS
The warmth that came from within your skin
I love to take it in
Recollect your breath upon my neck
Feeling fine your body to mine

I close my eyes
And realize
A moment’s dream
Before good-byes
Compromise
The dream’s scene
The dream’s seen

Seize the day
In every way
Whistle your tune
Seize the day
In every way
Such good fortune
To hear you say
Hey! xoxo <3

The Mayor's Mansion
The Mayor’s Mansion

LYRICS
Better watch out or they’re gonna get you
If you let your guard down
There’s not much you can do
When the mayor wears a golden crown

Everything smashes to ashes
And we all fall down
Our sacred Constitution
Usurped by The Institution

A song written at the Mayor’s mansion
That was born on the back of others’ misfortune
The stink of hate ain’t up for debate
Elite feast on their despise of the least

Chorus

The message they’ll send in the end
“It broke. It would not bend.”
Now, humanity can not mend
Because your message was “The End”

ABOUT THE SONG

Chords: A D6 A / A Em A / C Em A
Recording: live

Vocals, Guitar

Inspired by Mayor Carolyn Comitta and events at the corner of Gay and Church Streets. Recorded at the Mayor’s mansion in West Chester, PA.

WEST CHESTER, PA — The West Chester Police department continues to be tangled in an ever-growing web of police misconduct and illegal activities. Now, Police Chief Scott Bohn and Mayor Carolyn Comitta are being called into question.

Starting in April, multiple police officers have been implicated in retaliation, witness intimidation, obstruction of justice, lying under oath, falsifying police reports, conspiracy to commit a crime, interfering with an internal affairs investigation, police misconduct, terroristic threats, harassment, civil rights violations and hate crimes.

The line “Our sacred constitution
Usurped by The Institution” was inspired by a long time West Chester resident that heard about The Busking Ordinance. Thomas said, “That’s against the Constitution!”

LYRICS
If this is the last time
I’m gonna have a good time
I was told when I grow old
I’m gonna leave behind my body and mind
A collision course
With mass extinction
Of course

Not gonna hide for the final ride
Take my inside outside
And spread it wide
I’m gonna spread the word that man’s absurd
Climb to the highest rung
Sung from the top of my lungs
“Oh, man. Oh, my, my, Lord”

’til they drop the curtain for our last bow
I’m gonna make certain there’s not somehow
To save some space for the human race
And ya know… enjoy the thrill of the show

The child fighter makes for a real nail-biter

Do you know there’s no more encore?

What? There’s no encore? I paid good money for this ticket!

LYRICS
There’s something wrong going on

It’s easy for me to see there’s something wrong with our authority
Enough to give you chills
Make ya wanna head for the hills

Want the truth? It ain’t gonna happen
Liars are doing all their yappin’
Enough to give you chills
Make ya wanna head for the hills

Public servants play the con
The misdeeds go on and on
Enough to give you chills
Make ya wanna head for the hills

Twisting the truth is so uncouth
Beyond recognition to tell the truth

Enough to give you chills
Make ya wanna head for the hills
There’s something wrong going on

Stretching the truth to the breaking point
Check your gun at this juke joint

There’s something wrong going on

LYRICS
There’s nothing much more that I enjoy
(Then) making you jump for joy

Moving ’round jumping up and down
Like a Mexican jumping bean
Making a smile out of any frown
Happier human being

There’s nothing much more that I enjoy
(Then) making you jump for joy

Getting down while twirling ’round
Like a pinwheel in the breeze
With moves to make you ballroom bound
A dance reflex… like a sneeze

There’s nothing much more that I enjoy
(Then) making you jump for joy

Making you move around
Jumping up and down

Monkey bars and skin the cat
Still feeling like kids… imagine that
Sex and hugs and rock n’ roll
No never, never ever gonna really grow ‘ole
Sure the years will take their toll
But, we ain’t really ever growin’ ‘ole

Sometimes he plays and sometimes he sings
If you cut him in half, you can count his rings
There’s many more years than what it seems
Really enjoys finding what life means
Finding “the girl” can be a fountain of youth
A day at the fair in the kissing booth

Can I get a men?

Knock ’em down but they keep on coming
Wild-eyed with mouths foaming
Did I mention their disease looks rabid
No rhyme or reason… God forbid!

Amen?
Barely resembles a man
Amen?
Need a moratorium… some sort-of ban

A bunch of zombies coming after me
They have no brains. That’s easy to see
When it comes to soul, none remains
Gonna wrap you up and put you in chains

Amen?
Barely resembles a man
Amen?
Need a moratorium… some sort-of ban

LYRICS
As leaves start to fall
It makes me recall
Both the old and new
Come flowing through (you do)

It’s a gift. It’s a present
Presenting my life story
From the past to the present
A flash inventory (your glory)

Started as a child
Took me quite a while
To garner our first kiss
Thank God! I didn’t miss this

The night you snuggled close
Sure could use another dose
Get intimate for a bit
Oh Lord! May it never quit

There’s a bad juju
All over you
You spilt your milk
Now whatcha gonna do?
Perjure yourself again and again
In this lifetime, they call that a sin
And, well…
Then, they call it… hello reality
Gonna get the best in me

There’s a bad juju
All over you
There’s egg on your face
A total disgrace

Behavior that is fitting

“A binary black hole (BBH) is a system consisting of two black holes in close orbit around each other.”

“Scientists announced that they have once again detected ripples in space and time from two black holes colliding far away in the universe.” The discovery comes just months after the first-ever detection of such “gravitational waves.”
