Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It’s not the fall
No, not at all
In fact,
It’s the impact
No, not at all, after all
After the fall
Can you handle it…
The hit!
Just like that — splat
They say along the way
It’s a freefall
Life let out of the stall
Your I’s before your eyes
Until the final surprise
After all,
It’s not the fall
In fact,
It’s the impact

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Soon as October started
Felt like it was over
Now know November
The next endeavor
Come December
Never ceasing season of peace
Reigning down love from above
And at The End
The angels descend

Then came December
A time we’ll remember
From hustle n’ bustle alarm
To silent night calm
Dreaming on (and on and on)
Never ceasing season of peace
Raining down love from above
And at The End
The angels descend

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Nevertheless
I can’t help myself anymore
I must confess
Nooo… woah… woe….
Can’t help myself anymore
No, don’t mean to laugh out loud
Not boasting… not proud
Boy,
Trying to be more coy
Way less
Than not being able
(Can I get stable?)
To help myself
Anymore
Trying to be more
Way less
Trying to be less
Weightless

bookmark_borderIn The Middle

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
In the middle of your center of gravity
Is the ability
To balance
There is that chance
To balance
Justify the position
Certify the situation
Is in equilibrium
And, ummm….
Balance
Balanced stance
For instance
Strike the chord: umbilical (physical)
From whence
Your center of balance
The physics of the psychics
The soul’s renter at the center
Of my gravity…
Ability for equity

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Some will come and some will go
Most of which we’ll never know
Come and get your get-up-and-go
If they say the Earth is flat
They don’t know where we’re at
That is just a matter of fact
The gravity to hold us down
An axis to spin around
We are just a slice of the pi
Down to earth under the sky

Some will come and some will go
Most of which we’ll never know
Come and get your get-up-and-go
If they don’t care about Her care
Why are they even there
It’s up to us to share the fare
The gravity to hold us down
An axis to spin around
We are just a slice of the pi
Down to earth under the sky

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Were you already thinking
It’s a good idea
If we hightail it
Out of here
Do the kids care
What their parents did
Do adults only
Know insults
Has the whole world gone completely mad
(Ohhh that’s too bad)

Maybe it’s time for a change of course
Shun the dark embark on our light force
Let the kids share What they did
Adults account for their results
In The End the whole world is glad
(Thankful for the good times had)

LYRICS
Ronald Regan
Jimmy Carter
The Right began
Left the martyr
Here’s the riddle
Where’s the middle
Extremes have meddled
While their Nero fiddled
Where there ever days
With different ways
Try to do the best
For all the rest

Richard Nixon
John F. Kennedy
Put the fix on
Left humanity
Here’s the riddle
Where’s the middle
Extremes have meddled
While their Nero fiddled
Where there ever days
With different ways
Try to do the best
For all the rest

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
At the very least
I’m far from the Far East
But I can’t seem to orient
From the Orient
Increment by increment
We’ll make movement
In the right direction
A reflection
Of the space-time continuum
I am
Orienting
Unrelenting
I’m meant
To orient
Find our way through the day
We won’t relent
To orient

bookmark_borderGet Out Of Portland

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A scene so obscene
Likes of never been seen
Marching in the streets
Saluting all he greets
Playing stolen songs
To the swollen throngs
Blaming others along
For all of his wrongs
He never learned to listen
To another’s position
But he could shout a slur
Watch it go further
Go! Get out of Portland
I demand
Go! Get out of Portland
Understand? I demand
You know… go!
You gotta go, go, go

About the mine within
The landmine of the mind
Where does it end
Where does it begin
Can you mine a heart of gold
Before being told
You’ve grown old?

LYRICS
Do you want to know
Where we come from
Umbilical flow
Cut… come undone
Did you come head first
Screaming with thirst
End with a burst
Go out feed first
Does it feel real
Watching time grow
Do the wounds heal
In the afterglow?

LYRICS
I ain’t heard nothing
Not even a peep
Must be trouble
In real deep
Into the shadows
Slither and creep
Crawl back under
The rock you come from
Time to wonder
Take stock in freedom

I ain’t seen nothing
Not hide nor hair
Must be hiding
Come out, I dare
Insist to fight?
Make it fair
Crawl back under
The rock you come from
Time to wonder
Take stock in freedom

Born a poor boy
Raised on dreams
So it seems
Pocketful of joy
Busts the seams
So it seems
Dreams dreamt turned to meant
Now the pillars of the scene/seen
