LYRICS
I’m really happy you made it here
In spite of all your fear
The path ahead is crystal clear
Now that we all can hear
In short order
We’ve gotta deliver
Abort former
to be a liver
You’ve figured out why
It’s do or die?
Sigh

I’m oh so glad you can hear
And dissipate your fear
The word let’s spread
To all dear
Now that we all are here
In short order
We’ve gotta deliver
Abort former
to be a liver
You’ve figured out why
It’s do or die?
Try?

We’re really happy to be here
We’ve overcome the fear
The sign ahead says
All clear
Now that we all hear here
In short order
We’ve gotta deliver
Abort former
to be a liver
You’ve figured out why
It’s do or die?
Try!

LYRICS
One foot forward
The other one back
Is it courage
That we lack?
Some thoughts backward
The others are whack
So called outrage
Calling the kettle black
(Whack)

We know
We gotta go
We go
Blow-by-blow
We blew
A fuse
Use, use, use

One foot forward
The other one back
Is it courage
That we lack?
Some thoughts backward
The others are whack
So called outrage
Calling the kettle black
(Whack)

We whine
Don’t wanna go
I’m fine
Don’t wanna know
We knew
Refuse
Use, use, use

One foot forward
The other one back
Is it courage
That we lack?
Some thoughts backward
The others are whack
So called outrage
Calling the kettle black
(Whack)

We lie
It’ll be alright
We’ll die
Blind to what’s right
In spite
We lose
Use, use, you’s

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
My girlfriend
Is cold as ice
Said “The end.”
And, that’s not nice
Polar opposites
We’re breaking up
Solar refugees
Adrift at sea
Calving
Halving
Split and shed
Humanity
Insanity
Soon be dead
Should we dread?

My girlfriend
Skates thin ice
Said “The end.”
Didn’t think twice
Polar opposites
We’re breaking up
Solar refugees
Adrift at sea
Calving
Halving
Split and shed
Humanity
Insanity
Soon be dead
Should we dread?

Is it absurd to love an iceberg
or the pleasure of a glacier?
Think of how she must have felt
When we made her heart melt

LYRICS
Such a beautiful thing
When you hear her sing
In the whispering wind
And the howling rain
Transcend
Her pain
Ascend
Regain
Astral plane

The point-of-view
In-store for you
The reality of Earth’s entirety
Amend
Our strain
Ascend
Regain
Astral plane

What are you going to do
Now the knew is new
Time our hearts grew
The view is up to you
Transcend
The same
The End… or remain?
Terrestrials sane

A song about coming to the realization that you are part of nature. Take a look down on Earth from outer space. To destroy nature is to destroy yourself.

LYRICS
Free… is that what you want to be?
Free of responsibility?
Well, golly
Excuse me
I didn’t see you were drowning
In self-pity

Free… is that what you want to be?
Free of responsibility?
Well, what’s right
With your rights
Comes responsibilities
Then, what’s left
Is a civil society
Free… have we come to be
Rationally?

Written and recorded on July 4, 2023. With your freedom comes responsibilities. You have the responsibility not to litter, pollute, or impede others’ freedom. In the Nash equilibrium, each player’s strategy is optimal when considering the decisions of other players. “If things are not so good, you may be one to imagine something better,” said John Forbes Nash, Jr. (1994 Nobel Prize for Economics)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Said it before
Better say it once more
“Get heading for the door”

The more I implore
The more you ignore
Let’s see who will endure?
A better bet yet
Let’s not forget
The young and innocent
The ‘ole human race
Trashed the place
The dumb and arrogant
Resolve to solve your difference
Revolve to evolve indifference
Resolve to solve your difference
Evolve to involve our essence
The essence of presence

bookmark_borderWhat Did You Pay For?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
You get what you pay for
Regret — Post-purchase dissonance
And yet, we expect more
Bliss is ignorance
No, nevermore
It’s true
We’re do to pay our dues
Me. You.
And, I’ve a hunch
We borrowed too much
Then sum/some
Then sum
Then some
Then some more

We took more than we paid for
And yet we expect more
Forget regret just pay the debt
Bliss is ignorance
No, nevermore
It’s true
We’re do to pay our dues
Me. You.
And, I’ve a hunch
We borrowed too much
Then sum/some
Then sum
Then some
Then some more

LYRICS
The greens of the trees
How many of these?
The green with sheen
(and/or) Darker blue hue
Spruced up by spruce
And other fine pine
Dash of ash
Cherry, mulberry
Staple maple
Stoke the oak
A scene of green
In a see/sea of trees
Such visions are these

LYRICS
Given the circumstances
All the second chances
Who would have thought
It would End like that?

Chosen circus dances
All the second glances
Look what we’ve bought
Could be The End of it
.. and… shit…
I was just getting use to the habit
Of living
Love living
Keep giving
Of love
Keep giving living
Life on the edge of a knife

How far to go?
You or me
Do we even know?
Our time with sunlight is finite
Let’s shine insight tonight

3, 2, 1
Next is zero
Our time’s come
What else to know?
Our time with sunlight is finite
Let’s shine insight tonight
Try with all our might
Till we get it right
Let our brilliance ignite
Your lovelight

2, 5, 4
How much more?
5, 6, 7
Before we’re in heaven
Our time with sunlight is finite
Let’s shine insight tonight

Can we grow?
Infinite we yearn
Yes or no
Will we ever learn?
Our time with sunlight is finite
Let’s shine insight tonight
Try with all our might
Till we get it right
Let our brilliance ignite
Your lovelight

Mention a notion
Point the direction
Just to be fair
I’m already there

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A void growing in heads
“Avoid going outdoors”
Is how the headline read
Who knows the timeline any more?
If you must go out
Figure it out
Best how not to breathe
Got to figure out
Beyond doubt
Less your kinfolk grieve

A void growing in heads
“Avoid going outdoors”
Is how the headline read
Who knows the timeline any more?
If you want to put of death
Hold your breath
Try not to move
Still behoove
Want to prove?
Consider the depth and breadth
To groove

A void growing in heads
“Avoid going outdoors”
Is how the headline read
Who knows the timeline any more?
Yeah, a void growing in heads
Clear ear-to-ear
Made their beds…
Hate and fear
A void growing in heads
“Avoid going outdoors”
Is how the headline read
Who knows the timeline any more?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Their smoke signals
Traveled such a long way
Invoke channels
To save the day
“Take a breath
You’ll risk premature death,”
They say

Is it wild how the wildfires
Stole the role of the town criers?
“Take a breath
You’ll risk premature death,”
They say

In the era of the new skywriters
Human error… now we’re fire fighters
“Take a breath
You’ll risk premature death,”
They say

Climate change was on the way
It’s here today
It’s here to stay
Hey folk,
Wake up! Smell the smoke

A song about the summer of 2023 and the Canadian wildfires causing days of air quality alerts in the United States. See The Long-term Breathing Experiment and What is a Corsi-Rosenthal Box and how do you build one?
