Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Out of the blue (x a few)
I meet you
Come on fate
Do what you do
Lazy river passes by
Under the deep, deep blue sky
Figure it’s time to ask why
Why do we all have to die?

Out of the red
Into the black
When I’m dead
I’m coming back
Lazy river passes by
Under the deep, deep blue sky
Figure it’s time to ask why
Why do we all have to die?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What to do
You know, too?
Is it here or there
Hit or miss
Is it hear or dare
Miss the kiss
Action satisfaction
Reaction retraction
And then sum
Some…
… then…
Return to when
Opportunity was knockin’
Ability to see
The worth of rockin’
The equal-id-I-am
Equilibrium

bookmark_borderOut To Be

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’m starting to see
It’s not the way it use to be
Does nature agree
It’s the way it’s suppose to be?
Dropping sun
The day is done
Moment right before twilight
Over the mountains comes the moon

I’m starting to be
A puzzle piece in reality
The insides of me
A puzzled peace in serenity
Dropping sun
The day is done
Moment right before twilight
Over the mountains comes the moon

I’ve turned out to be
The creator of my destiny
Learned to agree
Better let nature get the best of me
Dropping sun
The day is done
Moment right before twilight
Over the mountains comes the moon

LYRICS
How doe your garden grow
Wouldn’t I like to know
Transparency in accountability
Does it feel slippery, slimy, filthy, grimy
Is your wisdom fertilizer
Then, why no help her
Realize her
You know…
Her garden will grow
Pitch forkin’ bull$hit
Then, rackin’ it
Now, watch her garden grow
… her children glow
… in a knowledge flow

LYRICS
A long time ago
It use to feel we had a long way to go
Now, it seems I’m seeing things clearer
The End is getting a little bit nearer

In years gone past
I use to think time was going to last
Now, it seems I’m seeing things clearer
The End is getting a little bit nearer

In days by-gone
I use to think the days would go on and on
Now, it seems I’m seeing things clearer
The End is getting a little bit nearer

LYRICS
Just as you see in your dreams
Your dreams seep to your seems
Dream of love and light
Dreams turn to delight
Dream, dream faith and hope
The direction of slope
Dream at least for life in peace
It might surprise you
Dreams do come true
What do you dream to do?
What do you dream for “you”?

LYRICS
Hear you got the disease
Hear you caught it with ease
The further you spread
The more will drop dead
I say,
“I beg your pardon…
Spreader at the Rose Garden?”
Before they could pass the bill
Spread it over capital hill

Hear you got the disease
Hear you caught it with ease
The further you spread
The more will drop dead
COVID free is now long gone
Spread it to the Pentagon
Hospital break-out like King Kong
Taking it home… it won’t be long

LYRICS
And, do you find it funny?
Running afoul
Throwing the vowels
In the name of pride
Bestowing “they died”
Throwing swords as words
Absurd
“Oh, I think it’s something I heard/herd.”
Soundbite blurb
Cog with a blog
And, do you find it funny?

LYRICS
A once golden idol
From the pedestal… fall…
Fell from the garden
Then,
Fell into hell
Take care in your fare
Or fare thee well
Oh, well
Better luck next time
The next “I’m and mine”
All’s fair in love and time
No matter your riches
No matter your glory
When it comes to life’s bitches
It’s The End of the Story

It’s only when you try can
Well, then…
It’s only when you try can
Can’t wont save you
Can’t can’t do what can can do

Will you will the will

And lead us to succeed

Any minute
We’ll get it
Grasp the meaning
Embrace spirit
Any minute
We’ll grasp it
The suspension of comprehension
Expansion

Grasp the meaning
Embrace spirit

The realization of compensation
Stagnation

We’ll get it
Grasp the meaning
Embrace spirit
Any minute
We’ll grasp it
The verbalization of compassion
Evacuation

The tale of:
Who’s Chasing Whose Tail?
Running round and round and round
Covering the same ground
Am I chasing your tail
Or you’re chasing mine
All the time
Not alone…
… thinking…
At least not chasing my own
I’m not chasing my own
