bookmark_borderThe Art of Living

LYRICS
Always keep a sharp blade
Never cut toward yourself
To avoid the bleed
Believe
Something you do not need to experience
To know it’s best not
Like to succumb to age
Kicked off the world’s stage
Buried deep
Innards seep
And left to rot
It’s best not
(Take my word… it’s best not)

Somethings you’ll forever experience
Especially the essence of presence
Live while alive
Why not?
Something you do not need to experience
To know it’s best not
Like to succumb to age
Kicked off the world’s stage
Buried deep
Innards seep
And left to rot
It’s best not

bookmark_borderStart Climbing

LYRICS
Start climbing
Going to climb to the highest branch
The more skill the less chance
I’m climbing
Going to climb as high as I can
Climb this tree
See what I see
Every direction 360 degrees
Extrospection behumbles indeed

Start climbing
Going to climb to the mountain top
Going to climb, no, won’t ever stop
I’m climbing
Going to climb to the highest height
Going to climb till I see the light
I’m looking
Every direction 360 degrees
Extrospection behumbles indeed

bookmark_borderJust Say (The Word)

LYRICS
When a push comes to shove
As it usually does
Things get 1) nasty 2) ugly
Hold my beer
Give a nudge
And, I won’t hold a grudge
Let’s get friendly
Please don’t hesitate
Oh no don’t ever wait
Call any time of day
… I’m on my way!
The word, just say

The word I think of
Undoubtedly love
Rings yours truly
With cheer
Give it all
Clear the castle wall
Hearts sing freely
Please don’t hesitate
Oh no don’t ever wait
Call any time of day
… I’m on my way!
The word, just say

bookmark_borderGone to Hollywood

LYRICS
Do you wish that you were in Hollywood
’cause you’re feeling things haven’t gone the way they should
No sense
Feeling sorry
Feeling sorry for me
’cause I am
So happy
As happy
As can be

Do you crave to be living on Wall Street
So you behave in ways to bring the world to your feet
No sense
Feeling sorry
Feeling sorry for me
’cause I am
So happy
As happy
As can be

Is all you ant to be is somewhere else
Fail to
Realize
The world is our home
No sense
Feeling sorry
Feeling sorry for me
’cause I am
So happy
As happy
As can be

LYRICS
Is it a stretch
That we will fetch
Adaptation
Did you hear the starting gun sound
Why are we sticking around
The race is on
We don’t have long
For our way to be found
Been forty days and forty nights
We still don’t see the light
It’s been four score
And maybe more
Yet, humans delight in fight

What was unfair
Time that we square
Angulation
Did you hear the starting gun sound
Why are we sticking around
The race is on
We don’t have long
For our way to be found
Been forty days and forty nights
We still don’t see the light
It’s been four score
And maybe more
Yet, humans delight in fight

Let’s stop the bleed
We will succeed
Aspiration
Adaptation
Acclamation
Acclimation
Did you hear the starting gun sound
Why are we sticking around
The race is on
We don’t have long
For our way to be found
Been forty days and forty nights
We still don’t see the light
It’s been four score
And maybe more
Yet, humans delight in fight

LYRICS
Now that the low hanging fruit is gone
What did you say is number two?
How long to keep hanging on
In the faith
Of what you do
Tell me true
On the other side
Of the wishing well
Past due
Gone worldwide
Our time did tell
Passed do

Now that your slumber is over
Is it time to discover
How much time will it take to wake
To come to?
Tell me true
On the other side
Of the wishing well
Past due
Gone worldwide
Our time did tell
Passed do

bookmark_borderWhole in the End

LYRICS
With no hole in the end
It’s hard to pretend
There’s light in this tunnel
With no whole in The End
It’s hard to pretend
All’s right at our funeral
The further we all dig in deep
The farther our worst fears creep
The higher that we climb above
As dire’s calling for our love
Riding the wave of save

In a dimension of two
It’s hard to get through
To the bright side
In a dimension with you
Our shared point-of-view
Nowhere to hide
The further we all dig in deep
The farther our worst fears creep
The higher that we climb above
As dire’s calling for our love
Riding the wave of save

Moving outside the box
Changing all of the locks
Finding freedom
Freeing from the flocks
Changing all the clocks
Far less kingdom
The further we all dig in deep
The farther our worst fears creep
The higher that we climb above
As dire’s calling for our love
Riding the wave of save

LYRICS
I’m a human
Yes, I am
Sometimes it might be hard to tell
Perhaps it’s just as well
Human
Best I can
Being human
The best I can
Put on my pants one leg at a time
Don’t wanna believe I’m past my prime
Human, yes, I am

I’m a human
Yes, I am
Sometimes it might be hard to tell
Perhaps it’s just as well
Human
Best I can
Being human
The best I can
Stand on two feet with an upright spine
Don’t wanna believe I’m past my prime
Human, yes, I am

I’m a human
Yes, I am
Sometimes it might be hard to tell
Perhaps it’s just as well
Human
Best I can
Being human
The best I can
Hoping to make it turn out fine
Don’t wanna believe I’m past my prime
Human, yes, I am

I’m a human
Yes, I am
Sometimes it might be hard to tell
Perhaps it’s just as well

The best I can
While I can let the love-light shine
Hoping we’ll make it all be fine
Human, yes, we are
Same planet… same star

LYRICS
Please don’t think it’s a bore
But, I can’t sit here
No more
We’ve been here before
We can’t take any more
What’s ahead is crystal clear
No “more”
Did you hear? Crystal clear
What’s in store? No more more

Please don’t think I know the cure
But, to stop… why not?
Or be forgot
No more
We’ve been here before
We can’t take any more
What’s ahead is crystal clear
No “more”
Did you hear? Crystal clear
What’s in store? No more more
Or no more more

Please rethink your curvature
How much longer we’ll endure
No more
We’ve been here before
We can’t take any more
What’s ahead is crystal clear
No “more”
Did you hear? Crystal clear
What’s in store? No more more

The arc of the dive
To stay alive

LYRICS
What once was blue
Has turned to grey
Another storm is on the way
Goes dry for days
No end in view
Then a deluge falls on you
Makes no sense to runaway
Try n’ deal a different day
Anyway
Sooner or later catches up to your
There’s not much you can do
Cry or pray

What once was grey
Has turned to black
Looks like the sky is going to attack
Been dry for weeks
No doubt a drought
Now the roads have cr3eks
Makes no sense to runaway
Try n’ deal a different day
Anyway
Sooner or later catches up to you
There’s not much you can do
Cry or pray

Extreme foregone green

Ace of spades
Gambling
In different shades
A fact is a fact
There’s no going back

Rollin’ boxcars
And snake eyes

There’s no going back

Less it’s green
Gambling
Can turn mean
A fact is a fact
There’s no going

LYRICS
Half-way out the window
Should I stay
Or should I go
How will I know
What’s best for the rest
The rest of humanity
The rest with sanity
The rest with heart
Where should I start?

One foot is out the door
Stay for more
Or should I go
How will I know
What’s best for the rest
The rest of humanity
The rest with sanity
The rest with heart
Where should I start?

I am of half the mind
to unwind
Or should I grow
How will I know
What’s best for the rest
The rest of humanity
The rest with sanity
The rest with heart
Where should I start

LYRICS
You have a clue just what to do
Now that we’re running out of steam?
Do you know what I mean
Was life just but a dream?
So-ing up the seem
Sowing up the seam
So it seems

You have a clue just what to do
Now that we’re coming to the close
What is it do you suppose
… we’re our worst foes?
So-ing up the seem
Sowing up the seam
So it seems

You have a clue just what to do
Now that we’re hanging by a thread
Did you hear what I said
Or prefer being dead?
So-ing up the seem
Sowing up the seam
So it seems
