bookmark_borderWhen I Saw You

LYRICS
When I saw you walking by
Really wanted to say hi
Then, thought better of taking a chance
Given our circumstance
I’m contagion shy
Don’t think I champion
Trying to die
Since my days are numbered
Finding ways to make it high
Move about unencumbered
Letting spirit fly

Then I saw you walking back
Trying to maneuver through the flack
Will things get better
… at second glance?
Given our circumstance
I’m contagion shy
Don’t think I champion
Trying to die
Since my days are numbered
Finding ways to make it high
Move about unencumbered
Letting spirit fly

bookmark_borderInside-out

LYRICS
They say do or die
But do I?
Win the battle
Lose the war
No, no more

We’re on our way
To play
Another day
Shout!
To let the inside-out

They say do or die
But oh why?!?!
A bath of blood and gore
No, no more

We’re on our way
To play
Another day
Shout!
To let the inside-out

bookmark_borderMomentum of Time

LYRICS
Dog days of summer surely will pass
Holiday of days surely can’t last
Shorter days are coming on fast
The momentum of velocity x mass
If all things shall pass
Can a man stand last?
Judge the dead and the fast
Above your funeral mass

Can’t keep living in the past
To get past the void that’s oh so vast
Move on beyond the die that’s cast
Break the mold be free at last
If all things shall pass
Can a man stand last?
Judge the dead and the fast
Above your funeral mass

bookmark_borderPrimates’ Fate

LYRICS
Pounding head
Ringing ears
Living dead
Bring on fears
Fellow Man,
Lend a hand to understand
We primates
Can’t hesitate…
Let’s understand

Tearing eye
Tearing I
Limb from limb
Looking dim
Fellow Man,
Lend a hand to understand
We primates
Can’t hesitate…
Let’s understand

Burning nose
No one knows
Chances slim
Looking grim
Fellow Man,
Lend a hand to understand
We primates
Can’t hesitate…
Let’s understand

bookmark_borderUp in the Air

LYRICS
Can they catch the toss
Before it’s a loss
Their up in the air
Will they land in hand
Understand
Their up in the air
And do they see
Opportunity
Slipping through their fingers
And could it be
The lunacy lingers

Can they catch the throw
Or drop to “I don’t know”
Their up in the air
Will the message they send
Comprehend
Their up in the air
Slipping through their fingers
And could it be
The lunacy lingers

bookmark_borderStride

LYRICS
One foot in front of the other
In step with one another
The stride from inside
Feet in lockstep fleet
Synchronized to the beat
Stride from the inside
Search for meaning
March forward leaning
Stride from inside

Left. Right. Formation tight
Out of shadows into light
We stride from inside
1,2,3,4 across the floor
… out the door
Keep in stride from inside
Search for meaning
March forward leaning
Stride from inside

bookmark_borderUp the Down

LYRICS
Am I running the wrong way
Or is the world spinning faster
I just ran past her
Maybe if I run in the opposite direction
There’d be less friction
But then again
Running up the down escalator
Sure to bet the elevator
Am I running the wrong way
Or is the world spinning faster
I just ran past her

bookmark_borderSheen of Dreams

LYRICS
It sure does lack
… looking back
There’s so much know
In tomorrow
It seems the sheen
Of dreams
Comes shining through
On you

Making sure the future
Brings the things that sing
It seems the sheen
Of dreams
Comes shining through
On you

Away on the day after today
Leapt past time kept
It seems the sheen
Of dreams
Comes shining through
On you

After the rain
Behold thee more dearly
After the reign
There’s something about the air
Out there

Something in between the scenes
Aware

bookmark_borderIons

LYRICS
The air is fresh with ions
Body bathed in electrical charge
Living life in the large
Colliding in head-ons
Bloodstream flows mood chemicals
Satisfaction of biochemical reaction
Adding Serotonin to the collection
When negative brings miracles
The body knows
Bloodstream flows

LYRICS
I heard her declare
On a wing and a prayer
“I’ll be there”
Heard her sigh
And let out a cry

Well now is the time
The Earth is cryin’
“I’m dyin'”
So, I’m cryin’
“Lord, I’m dyin’
… more time”

Telling you there’s one thing that I always do
And, that is to never, never ever
