bookmark_borderHear To Stay

LYRICS
Some days come and then they roll
And there’s some you have to pull
What ever happened to rock-n-roll?
I’m here to tell you… it’s hear to stay
Let’s take stroll
Walk right this way
Let’s here you say
“May your days roll!”

Some nights come and then they roll
And there’s some you have to pull
What ever happened to rock-n-roll?
I’m here to tell you… it’s hear to stay
Let’s take stroll
Walk right this way
Let’s here you say
“May your days roll!”

Does life come and then roll
Afterlife… do you have to pull?
What ever happened to rock-n-roll?
I’m here to tell you… it’s hear to stay
Let’s take stroll
Walk right this way
Let’s here you say
“May your days roll!”

Yes sir, I can fly
Just watch my mind’s eye

bookmark_borderInsurrection Vs. Resurrection

LYRICS
You know an insurrection is not a resurrection?
Fallen for the devil’s spell
The thing with a king doing his thing
Vibration of freedom’s ring
Rings true
Through and through

Claiming inbreeding is not conceding
Fallen angels… oh oh well
The thing with King is in the thinking
The “meant” of the statement
Does it ring true
You ask you
Through and through

LYRICS
You feeling OK?
Can’t hear what you say
Why treat us this way?
It’s time we move on… to a new day

Like a fish out of water
Is it starting to bother?
Are you feeling a bit ill
Looking blue around the gill

If you need some help just give a holler
You’re starting to regain a little color
Sometimes you’ve got to ask is it worth the dollar?

You feeling OK?
Can you hear what we say
Why treat us this way?
It’s time we move on… to a new day

LYRICS
Not quite like it ever was
Nor near back to normal
Our only reason is “cause”
Tooth n’ nail (call to) maul
Maul, maul, maul!

You’ve stumbled upon a special place
We’ve smiles on our face
Please don’t discount the human race
There’s music, dance, and lace
… and we dream…
We dream on…
… dream along….

Not quite like the ever “cause”
Nor near back to normal
Our only reason is “was”
Hear the call?
Here the call!

LYRICS
It’s up to you
It’s up to you
It’s up to you what you do
Those of that choose
Can’t lose
Those of us that don’t

If 1 + 1
Equals 2
Then facts are facts
It is true
Those of that choose
Can’t lose
Those of us that don’t
Won’t

It’s up to us
Wilderness?
Those of that choose
Can’t lose
Those of us that don’t
Won’t

LYRICS
No way, uh-huh, I’m not mad
In fact, I am rather glad
Sad sack is leaving
No more deceiving
Fade the days gone bad

From the ashes, sparks and flashes
Going to rise again
From our hopes dreams we mean
Ending end to begin

No way, uh-huh, I’m not mad
In fact, I am rather glad
Gone is insanity
From our humanity
File under “had”

From the ashes, sparks and flashes
Going to rise again
From our hopes dreams we mean
Ending end to begin

Way deep down inside your gut
Freeing yourself from the rut
Forging a path
Away from wrath
New lease on peace

Way deep down inside your heart

New lease on peace

Way deep down inside your head
Why not put the past to bed
Forging a path
Away from wrath
New lease on peace

LYRICS
Teeter tottering
On the very tip of civilization
Children toddling
On the brink of starvation
Our father figures
Abandon their posts
My mother and yours
Are white as ghosts

Teeter tottering
On the very tip of civilization
Elite doddling
Overlords of deception
Our father figures
Abandon their posts
My mother and yours
Are white as ghosts

Teeter tottering
On the very tip of civilization
Emotion bottling
On the verge of explosion
Our father figures
Abandon their posts
My mother and yours
Are white as ghosts

LYRICS
Don’t know if I’ll make another round
Guess we’re gonna see
Seem to’ve lost my equilibrium
Not quite certain where I am
Not quite sure
Turned to blur

Don’t say no! I’ll make another round
Guess we’re gonna see
Seem to’ve lost my equilibrium
Not quite certain where I am
Not quite sure
Turned to blur

Starting to get my second wind
Getting to know who I am…
… again
Not quite sure
But some more

LYRICS
After all, ohhhh so tall
House of cards starts to fall
All the king’s horses and all king’s men
Couldn’t put the charlatan together again

Stacked them up way too tall
House of cards starts to fall
All the king’s horses and all king’s men
Couldn’t put the charlatan together again

Populace made the call
House of cards going to fall
All the king’s horses and all king’s men
Couldn’t put the charlatan together again

Watch him cry. Watch him ball
House of cards fall, fall, fall
All the king’s horses and all king’s men
Couldn’t put the charlatan together again

LYRICS
Look what we’ve done… did…
In…
The name of id
Forego, ego, etal, intel
’em all
Who would have thought
Sister and brother
Turning on mother…
Nature
In the name of the rapture
To capture
Their forefather
Sister and brother
And their other
Alter ego, you know?
Forego ego
Ragin’ id to be fed
Look what we’ve done — done
