LYRICS
Ain’t that something
Trying to add up that sum thing
When 1 + 1 = none for me
That kind-of math is not funny

Ain’t that something
Trying to add up that sum thing
When 1 + 1 = something odd
A jaw-dropping “Oh My God!”

Can I hear a man
Can I hear amen

Entice social justice
That’d be nice…
Social justice

Have you ever watched politicians
That think they’re magicians
And, from out of the hat
Pop! A weasel

Oh, boy

Don’t you dread another hole in your head

Got yourself a tiger by the tale
Wail!

It’s like catching the measles

LYRICS
Holocene

Hol·o·cene
adj.
Of or belonging to the geologic time, rock series, or sedimentary deposits of the more recent of the two epochs of the Quaternary Period, beginning at the end of the last Ice Age about 11,000 years ago and characterized by the development of human civilizations. See Table at geologic time.
n.
The Holocene Epoch or its system of deposits.

Ever since they made freedom agin’ the law
They committed the crime of all time — turning me into an outlaw
Suppose we gotta claw
Tooth and nail
Or end up part of the Holocene tale

The Holocene extinction scene
Hello halo
Hollow promises I guess
Versus
The Holocene… know what I mean?

Ever since they choose not’ta take pity
On those embracing liberty
They committed the crime of all time — turning me into an outlaw
Suppose we gotta claw
Tooth and nail
Or end up part of the Holocene tale

This song was inspired by reading Facebook posts about people’s pipes freezing up… while I was writing reggae music.

Pipes that have moving water through them will not freeze… if in doubt, just leave a trickle running ’till tomorrow. If your pipes do freeze, turn off the water at the source… for when they thaw… the cracks will, too… and you will pump water onto your floor. (ps real bummer… especially if you’re sleeping.) If you have a hot water heater, you need to keep an eye on the feed… since the hot water heater will fill up with water… there will not be moving water until the tank calls for more water. This can leave the cold water intake on the tank exposed to prolong cold.

When in doubt, apply the trickle theory to the love.

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!

Thank you for putting me here, my Lord
For that I am
I can bare witness to this
Yes, I can

For that I am

’cause I’m here
And, it’s now

And, it is
I can bare witness to this

Thank you for putting me here, my Lord
So, I can hear, and I can testify
I saw it with my eye
I eye I

You, yes, you
You gave me the ability to be
With that came the ability to see
That I can
