Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It sucks when you’re living in a swamp
Yet, it seems that’s what we want
When confronted with the taste of our waste
We throw a fit over our own shit
And cry, and rant, and stomp

More coal and oil until we spoil
Yes, it seems that’s what we want
When confronted with the wast of our taste
We recoil and start to boil

Blowin’ methane and monoxides sky high
Patience of the temperate… we try

Sucks livin’ in a swamp

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Where do you find beauty?
Is it in your comfort?
If you seek you must confront,
The demons in your body

Chorus
What the heck…
I see it in the crape of your neck
Down the small of your back
… and back
Are you sensitive behind your knee
… let’s see
Can I find your soul
In your sole?

Bathing in the light
Basking at the sight
How do I find beauty
Let me count the ways
With this view that I see
We could be here for days

Chorus

LYRICS
You can come if you want… or if you’d rather… go
Well, you’re free or don’t you know
Yes, you’re free or don’t you know

We can join if you like… together we’ll grow
Agree of don’t we know?

Chorus
If the master comes, makes you the clown
Wants to push, push, push you down

You can stay if you like… or if you’d rather blow
Well, you’re free or don’t you know
Yes, you’re free or don’t you know

Chorus

If disaster tries to make you moan
With the finger say, “leave me alone!”

LYRICS
Are we really this close
Yet really that far?
Oh, yes, oh, yes… we really are

The emperor’s new clothes
Seeing things bizarre
Oh, yes, oh, yes… they really are
Not

Experiencing the house of mirrors
Exposing your inner terrors
Going major from the minors
Growing de jour toward grandeur

LYRICS
My favorite star
You shine like the sun
Though nearest… yet so far
You are the same and one

We know without you we can’t grow
Though trite… you are The Light
The fusion of your engine… we can only imagine

No matter seed or womb
We start and end in a tomb
While in between
You sprout out “green”
Then, you bloom

LYRICS
I can’t see clear
Until I’m outta here

’till the shackles are gone
I can’t go wrong
Free of the ball and chain
Before I can roam again

Where do we go from here

I can see your fence
And, I can see past
To a fence past tense
And, we’re free at last

We can see clear
To a place outta here
We can be free
There’s a place… it can be!

LYRICS
Let’s get real close
But, give me room to breathe

Your industrial noise pollution
Isn’t part of a harmonious solution

Less of a dose
My consciousness retrieve

Why spit n’ shit
In another’s face
Just bring disgrace
On the human race

Let’s get real close
But, give me room to breathe

Stead a love infusion
Peace and understanding lotion
Passing through any hate illusion
To a felling of no one losing

LYRICS
We’re gonna put ya in the cellar tonight
Then, lock the door real tight

In case you’re a menace to society
Lock you up… throw away the key

We’re gonna put ya in the cellar tonight
Then, lock the door real tight

If you’re lucky
The happy monkey
With a purple crayon
The wall you write upon

We’re gonna put ya in the cellar tonight
Then, lock the door real tight

RESPONSE
Hey! You may wanna hesitate
Before you cast your fate
Before you mess with the charm of…
A karma

I was sitting at the corner of Market and High Streets. Two former courthouses are the location. What is Barnaby’s today, was the original courthouse. In the basement, the windows are still barred on the holding cells.

LYRICS
Can’t you see
The difficulty
With transparency
Maintaining any modesty

Chorus
See what everyone espouses
Living in glass houses
See what everyone exposes
Living in glass houses

You can see
Dirty laundry
Lay sight
On the people of might
Sneak peak
They’re really quite meek

Chorus

Left alone
Or cast the first stone
Doesn’t really matter
If you shatter
Your glass home

SONGWRITING IN WEST CHESTER, PA

LYRICS
Won’t you play me some of that nice music
The kind that makes the kids skip quick
Won’t you play me some of that music
That’ll make me part of the cosmic fabric

Chorus
The ones that make you feel alright
Songs to make the shadows bright
One that will get ya through the night
Song to lift my spirit to the highest heights

Weave me into the dreams of the universe
With the rhyme and tempo for a catchy verse
Something I can grasp… not too perverse
That repeats in my head like a blessed curse

LYRICS
So, this is class warfare
I was totally unaware

People sleeping in the streets
You call this natural?
People sleeping in old crates
You say this is normal

Children dieing of starvation
You call this natural?
Part of society in deprivation
… business as usual

So, this is class warfare
I was totally unaware

LYRICS
Was she serious when she said
Serious dumpster fire ahead?
The Boulevard’s shut down
How we gonna get around?

Was she serious?
A serious dumpster fire
Seriously?
It sounds funny to me

How could civilization transpire
To the point of a “serious” dumpster fire?
That’s what the lady on the radio said
“Hello. This is your radio…
Traffic update”
At any rate, she went on to state
“The Boulevard is shut down
You’ll have to find a way around.”
Then, like the town crier
She said, “serious dumpster fire”

LYRICS
Maybe for you it’s numbers
Maybe for you it’s the day of the week
The month or the day
Or the year
The year of the snake
The year of the monkey
Maybe you can see sound
Chromesthesia

Chromesthesia

What if I could hear what you could see
What if you could see what I could hear
Well, we can
And, it’s coming in clear
Just got to tap into the part of the brain
Not insane at the membrane

You can see what you can hear
Chromesthesia

Maybe you’ve got to do a spinal tap
Or some sort-of Buddhist chant
Or maybe you can connect
Just like that

’cause you can see what I hear
And, it’s coming in clear
Sometimes like lines
Other times like fireworks
Sometimes like lines
No one is quite sure how it works
Chromesthesia

Neurological miracle

Here we go
Like a rainbow
