Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Have you lived life before
Are you dying for more
Was it all full of sin
Gotta do it again
River Styx prone
Time to take it home

Have you lived life before
Are you dying for more
Was it awful sin
Gotta do it again
Hate the Hades zone
Time to take it home

Have you lived life before
Are you dying for more
Was it all full of sin
Gotta do it again
Done the zombie drone
Time to take it home

Time to come alive
Time I’m alive!

bookmark_borderThe Way You Walk

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Walk backward
And be forever behind
Walk forward
And face what’s in mind
If you’d rather run
Into the heart of the sun
Might try to fly
To get by

Walk backward
And be forever behind
Walk forward
And face what’s in mind
If you’d rather run
Into the heart of the sun
Might try to fly
To get by
Since our days are numbered
There’s no sense to’ve slumbered
Why not try to fly?

bookmark_borderInvoke the Vision

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When the sick
Gets too thick
Gotta think
Make it quick
Strap on my safety belt
Prepare for mind melt
Run it up the flagpole and see…
Is it just me?

When the sick
Gets too thick
Gotta think
Make it quick
Made the decision to invoke the vision
Invoked the vision of rational division
See if anyone else can and see…
Is it just me?

When the sick
Gets too thick
Gotta think
Make it quick
Went ahead and let it out
To the highest heights to shout
Can you see… or…
Is it just me?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are you chosen
To be golden
And shine so fine
All of your time
Have you chosen
to beholden
And shine so fine
All of your time
Open up your heart
And let the light shine
Let mistrust depart
And let your light shine
Once you find the start
You’ll shine and shine and shine

Do you live to give
And shine so fine
All of your time
Thrive to be alive
And shine so fine
All of your time
Open up your heart
And let the light shine
Let mistrust depart
And let your light shine
Once you find the start
You’ll shine and shine and shine

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
We’ll have to wait and see
Just how good it’ll be
Is fortune and fame
Not the same
As you dreamt
Is you life’s meaning
What you meant
The ways you’ve spent
The day you went
From childhood ways
(Toward dying days)
It’s not too late
If you don’t wait
Get back to play
Child’s here to stay

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If you’re afraid to get in
Just come reside at the side
You can get a taste of swimmin’
Tipping your toe in the tide
If you want to come alive
To the deep end… let’s dive
In!
(Then, let’s do it again)

If you’re afraid to jump in
You’re bound to be left standin’
We’re in the shallow end
What trouble can you get in?
If you want to come alive
To the deep end… let’s dive
In!
(Then, let’s do it again)

Don’t be afraid to wade
In the water up to your waist
In the sun… out of the shade
We haven’t a moment to waste
If you want to come alive
To the deep end… let’s dive
In!
(Then, let’s do it again)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
As we approach dark
Will you
Shine through
The darkness will encroach
Our light
This day will surely pass
To night (Tonight)
Will you
Shine through

As we approach dark
Will you
Shine through
The eve may deceive
Insight
For nothing can relieve
The light
Will you
Shine through

As we approach dark
Will you
Shine through
More and more light’s slight
That right?
Bring on, bring on more light
Tonight!
Alright?!?!
Will you
Shine through
As we approach dark….

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The stop at The End of the Drop
32 feet per second per second
Oh, to meet the levity of gravity
Standing on top looking down
What solace can be found
Come on… look around
(Round and round)
Over the edge on the ledge
What logic is found sound
Come on… look around
(Round and round)

The stop at The End of the Drop
32 feet per second per second
O2 to meet the levity of gravity
Standing on top looking down
What solace can be found
Come on… look around
(Round and round)
As time goes past, grasps can’t last
Will our panic confound
Come on… look around
(Round and round)

The stop at The End of the Drop
32 feet per second per second
Oh, to meet the levity of gravity
Standing on top looking down
What solace can be found
Come on… look around
(Round and round)
As time goes past, grasps can’t last
Will our panic compound
Come on… look around
(Round and round)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I see a face in cloud
I see a face in rock
I start to think aloud
Life’s ticking like a clock
[em clock jam]
Catch the next breeze
Gonna live life with ease
I’m counting blessings
And loving guessing…
Is Man apt to adapt?
[Out of shape
Back to ape?
Complete fail
Back to snail?]

Human race as cloud
Human race as rock
What happened to the crowd
Lives tocked like a clock
[em clock jam]
Catch the next breeze
Gonna live life with ease
I’m counting blessings
And loving guessing…
Is Man apt to adapt?
[Out of shape
Back to ape?
Complete fail
Back to snail?
Be forewarned
Back to worm
Just as well
As single cell]

LYRICS
Now let’s think clear
How nears the fear
Is the fright
Within sight
Tonight?

Now let’s think clear
How nears the fear
Is the fight
With insight
Right?

It’s now come clear
The time draws near
Is the thought
Of the naught
Fraught
… with aches and pains
Our remains
Stain

LYRICS
If there ever was a time
Well then, this must be it
The pickins’ at its prime
And the candle’s ends are lit
Peeking at the peak of the season
thinking that it stands to reason
Act
As a mater of fact
Act
Seizing upon the moment
Making it time well spent
Act
As a mater of fact
Act

Opportunity knocks
Well then, I will let her in
Thinking way outside the box
Let the games of win begin
Act
As a mater of fact
Act
Seizing upon the moment
Making it time well spent
Act
As a mater of fact
Act

LYRICS
Does it seem
Extreme
Bring to life
Bad dream
Did we mean
Extreme
… whether…
Whether or not to give a damn
Perpetuating Man’s scam
I am?

Does it seem
Extreme
Bring to life
Bad dream
Did we mean
Extreme
… whether…
Whether or not to reign on the poor
With weather to rain in a pour
Some more

Does it seem
Extreme
Bring to life
Bad dream
Did we mean
Extreme
… whether…
Whether or not to reign… there’s no doubt
No rain to weather in a drought
… found out

bookmark_borderBrought on Babylon

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It’s hard to tell
If I’m living here
Or time traveled
To Babylon
Not feeling well
And I’m still not clear
Time unraveled
To Babylon
… I babble on…
For I can see
It’s not just me…
“We”
… ramble on

Toll of the bell
Is it ringing clear
We’ve time traveled
Ole Babylon
We hate to dwell
In our hell
Did you hear
Our Babylon
… I babble on…
For I can see
It’s not just me…
“We”
… ramble on
[Time unraveled
Distant present
Time traveled
Then to now
Somehow]

A song about thinking you time traveled back to Babylon only to realize we brought Babylon to the present.
