bookmark_borderFrom Slight of Seeing the Light

LYRICS
Twisted… tormented
… has love relented
In the silence of reverence
A reference to existence
Do I take a stance?
(Do I take the chance?)
And then again
I begin
… from slight of seeing the light

bookmark_borderRearview

LYRICS
Watching the world go up in flames
In your rearview mirror
Oh the shame of who’s to blame
The major and minor

The clocks tick their same ole’ song
The clocks tock their same ole’ dance
One wonders exactly how long
’til we get a second chance

Wanting in our retrospect
To have been the change
Jaw dropping from “what the heck?!?!”
Sure turned out so strange
(chorus)

Moving on to a new habitat
Can you imagine that?
Hope there’s plenty of air to share
Sure hope we get there
(chorus)

bookmark_borderCenter Of Gravity

LYRICS
Ohhh where’s my center of gravity
Oh the levity
So if in brevity
My relativity
[I’m… I am… thinking I am… therefore for… I am]
Relative to the mass of my ass
Speculative if the matter matters
The pull you have on me
Gravity
I see… through… transparently… it may be… maybe
Through to you
I see… through… transparent… apparent… it may be… maybe
Through to you
Ohhh where’s my center of gravity?

bookmark_borderSo-sigh-it-y

LYRICS
Is the itty bitty
So small after all
Down to the nitty gritty
Of substantial

The eye in so-sigh-it-y
Me and responsibility
Relative to the entirety

Do you hear the tolling of the bell
Beyond the depths of the wishing well
Does one choose heaven or hell
I figure I might just as well

Is the down and dirty
So filthy after all
Down in the nitty gritty
Of substantial

LYRICS
What is that that I see
Floating in front of me
How could it really be
Do my eyes deceive me?
Floater drifting by
The inside of my eye
Floater floating by
The inside of my I

What on Earth shall I be
Bound by my mortality
Life’s certainty
#uck all that destiny

So this is your reality
Floaters you can not see
Oh I pity
Those void of fantasy

bookmark_border7(11) = 13

LYRICS
Seven eleven
Six of one… half dozen of the other
Or thirteen?
Not sure what it means
Is 7(11) 13?
7(11) a blessing from heaven
Vs. lucky #13… some spell from hell
The sine of a standing wave swell
Where the texture
Of the sound is found
Picture
A piece of peace
Shared ’round

bookmark_borderGray Matter Splatter

LYRICS
Don’t ask which came first
Please don’t
“The chicken or the egg?”
Don’t say, “Break a leg!”
Please don’t (I beg)
Or my brain might burst
A gray matter splatter everywhere
Emptied skull lay bare
Ear to ear rushed full of air
No, there’s no membrane there

No “high or low road?”
Please no/know
“Which road do you take?”
Would have baked a cake
Please no/know
Or my head might explode
A gray matter splatter everywhere
Emptied skull lay bare
Ear to ear rushed full of air
No, there’s no membrane there

bookmark_borderInto The Light

LYRICS
Ready to take flight into the light
Take flight into the light
Take flight
Feeling light
A thought not that far remote
Not that far remote
Afloat
Gliding in the flow of the timing
Reason and rhyming
Getting in a tailwind
Effortless in a bliss
Blowing kisses

Define the fine art that’s gravity defying
No denying
Lifted like wings full sail that sings
Lift brings
Smooth sailing
Getting in a tailwind
Effortless in a bliss
Blowing kisses

LYRICS
Ride high into the sky
Say good-bye
Rise high into the sky
Wave good-bye
The best time of my life
In the memories lie
Forever in your memory
Remember me

Ride up high into the sky
Say good-bye
Rise up high into the sky
Wave good-bye
Forever now and more
I’m just a memory
Forever now before
Remember me

LYRICS
One of these things is not like the others
One of these things is unique
One of these things is not like the others
Tell me… what do you think?
Has the leopard changed his spots
I tend to think not
Is that horse in striped pajamas
Or a zebra gone bananas

Does it come as a great surprise
You’ve won the door prize
Open it if you choose
Close it… you lose

Does a horse of a different color
Start to make you holler
Does jellyfish come with peanut butter
Would it make you feel any better

LYRICS
When I was just a little boy
My Mom said, “You’re such a big boy”
Destined to be man
I am to be man

As I began to grow
Eventually, I came to know
The old soul I was
Because….

bookmark_borderTo Each His Own

LYRICS
And, to each his own
What do you own?
And, to each his own
What have you?
(You do you?)
The right might make might right
In their imagination
Don’t understand the slight of hand
In their concentration
As is the case of the off-base base
The lack of basic logic
Turned to sick bigot bull$hit
So thick
You’re up to your redneck in it
Do you even own your own body?
Somebody said “From whence you come”
Your remains will remain
In between is our own suspense
In between is our own essence
In between is our own existence
Own your own existence
(Get it while you can
… before been

LYRICS
Oh so glad to be here
Feel alive
Feel the warmth get near
Got to strive
Though it’s cold out here in space
Earth is hot for the human race

Maybe I’ll just orbit
Keep an eye
Spy the nasty habit
Will to die
Though it’s cold out here in space
Earth is hot for the human race

The pace of their race
Blind man’s game
Shall leave not a trace
Went from came
Though it’s cold out here in space
Earth is hot for the human race

bookmark_borderWish It

LYRICS
If ever there was a time
It is near
The “no reason, no rhyme”
Reigns with fear
Take from this place
Only your haste
Fore race on race
Leaves only waste
In your birthday suit
Arrived, you did
At the time, quite cute
So long… kid
I wish it wasn’t so
Wish they wouldn’t sow
Seeds of hate and rage
Bleeds too late
Hate out of the cage

LYRICS
Shall we go
Yes and know
Here we go
2 from fro
Keep your hands and feet
Inside the car
Remain in your seat
It gets bizarre
If things should get rough
Beyond a bumpy ride
Have to hang tough
It will subside
No need for despair
You know that I care
So are you aware
We’re almost there
