bookmark_borderFrom From Here I Come

LYRICS
Can’t pass as mass
The velocity of me
Is gaining momentum
I am
Gaining momentum
… here I come
From from… to you
Will it
Faster than a speeding bullet
Approaching
The speed of light
In fact
Our impact
will be a driving force
Of course
As I am
Gaining momentum

bookmark_borderGrounded

LYRICS
Though it might be hard to believe
It’s not to late to conceive
It’s the Earth holding you down
And spinning you round n’ round
Keeping your feet on the ground
(Keeping my / our feet on the ground)
Founded in grounded

Is it possible that I am
In a spacetime continuum
Without the Earth holding me down
I’d be “to infinity” bound
Oh, the gravity of my situation
Floating among the constellations

LYRICS
It all started at the beginning
Well, not all
Just the first thing
Then, the ball
Was rolling
A snowball in freefall
Down the side
On the slide
Of the mountain
Picking up mass
Rather fast
And, yes, indeed
Picking up speed
Mass passes masses amasses
Quantum momentum

LYRICS
Will you find the answer
What are you looking for?
No, mam. Yes, sir.
Dig deeper for more
Submerge in the solution

In your time
The riddle… the rhyme
On the verge
Submerge
Into the solution solution
Pre or post hallucination
Into a success vortex
Whirling solution solution

bookmark_borderCoefficient Of Friction II

LYRICS
Humpty Dumpty’s egg
Is on its last leg
In free fall
Off the wall
Please don’t forget
A bombardier’s regret
When bombs fall
There’s no recall
Their shadows foreshadowing
Where things are going

A race in motion
Commotion
Will stay in motion
Run its natural course
(Of course)
A race in motion
In need of notion
In need of an outside force

The coefficient of friction
Is too inefficient
Our vice — slippery ice
In free fall…
… falling down
With nothing
To slow us down
… no, nothing to slow us down

ABOUT THE SONG
Style: ExperiMental Rock
Chords: Em Em7(11) D / CM7 Em7(11) Em7; 140 BPM Bossa nova

LYRICS
Break in the east
Head west all day
A point-of-view that at least
Is in a relative way
Who is going around who?
If you don’t like it
What are you going to do?
There is no self-pity
In relativity
The fact is:
Spinning on our axis
A satellite
Of the sun
When all’s said and done…
A satellite of the sun
Is that right?
… a satellite of the sun
You might be right… not daft
When you say left is right
And, that right is left
… you just might
(Be right)

bookmark_borderDon Quixote

LYRICS
I am; therefore,
I am
There’s no sense fighting
Life is fleeting
So before completing
I’m in time

I can’t fight
Inanimate objects
No matter how much one objects
I see the light

I can’t fight
A system
Especially one I’m in
I see the light

I can’t fight
Chaos theory
Starting to see
More clearly
May I see the light
I see
I can’t fight gravity
Fighting friction is pure fiction
I can’t fight
I see the light

LYRICS
What goes up might come down
As long as gravity’s around
Masses depending on their mass
To keep their bodies down
Searching for some friction
Traction to get around
What I’ve found

In my space-time continuum
Here I am. Leave no trace?
Masses depending on their mass
To keep their bodies down
Searching for some friction
Traction to get around
What I’ve found

Chaos theory living mystery
Orderless system, yes, I am
Masses depending on their mass
To keep their bodies down
Searching for some friction
Traction to get around
What I’ve found

LYRICS
What if it all were
Just a blur
A mere smear
In the atmosphere
Music as fabric
For the tapestry
Of said,
Space-time continuum
I see through to you
As we weave
The tapestry
Us wed
With you I am
Soul’s blood bled
Said,
Space-time continuum
Void of vacuum
I am

LYRICS
Squawk! Jay and hawk
Say, Jay giving the blue away
Giving the blues away
Those birds are not the the feather
Nor does it appear to be whether
After all
The bigger they come the harder they fall
Jay’s giving the blues away
Got to fathom
When I’m part of the equation
When my ass is mass
And I’m momentum
I can see the velocity
p = mv
p = me
After all
The bigger they come the harder they fall

LYRICS
Are my eyes tricking me
Is that really what eye see?
Do you believe in destiny
Or is it fantasy
A face
Reflecting off the surface
The age
Of my image
Is the mirror real
Or two dimensional
Missing dimension
Feel flat… unsensational
A reflection
Of the person
Ventures into known
Now own thy own
Grown into thy own
Now you’ve grown into your own

LYRICS
Though the water’s clearly clear
Does it look blue to you?
Though the sky’s clearly clear
Does it look blue, too?

Is it clearly clear
Your personal point-of-view
Is relativity a rarity?

Though the days are the same
Are they going past fast
Though the nights are the same
Does it feel like they don’t last

Chorus

From where you’re at
Does the Earth look flat
The sun going around
From sunup ’til sundown

LYRICS
If the Earth is flat
How long would that be
From end to The End
How long would that have been
Treading in thick logic
Wading in sick logic
Quick
If you went splat
On an Earth that’s flat
Where would that be at
Would you, too, be
Two dimensional
Or does your rational
Already escape me
You were tow dimensional all
Along… just wasting my song
With sick logic

LYRICS
Is it a matter of splatter
If the mass of ass
Is fatter?
Um
Momentum
I see velocity
Is not parity
When you factor in
My mass
Be it fact of fiction
God! More friction
I’m sliding into you
Are you sliding into me, too
Um, momentum
Got me some
Be it less rare
If I offer to share?
Do you care form some

… the language of baggage
