bookmark_borderUsing Musing

LYRICS
Muse using musing
Engage the sage
Face to black
Then, fade back
Seeing the big picture
Coincidentally reveals the future
The stakes of learning from mistakes
The perils of errors
And the corpses it makes
On the up-take
Awake
To possibility of responsibility
So your third-I can see
Muse amused using musing

LYRICS
Have you ever wandered
Into the merriment
Of wonder
Did it make you wonder
Why not all the time
After all,
What is meant by meant
*Waterfall chime*
Though comes to mind
And, it’s mine
All the time
A vibrant merriment
Of wonder
No need to talk
Take her for a walk
Wander with wonder

LYRICS
I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
But, I confess…
I’m nervous
I’m serious…
Sorry if I appear delirious
But, I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
Keep your distance
I can’t kiss you
Not this instance
A 6-feet throw’s the best I can do
Blowin’ and throwin’
… love….
To get us through
Get between us?
Let’s careen us
Set our sails
Not off the rails
I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
Keep your distance
I can’t kiss you
Not this instance
A 6-feet throw’s the best I can do
Blowin’ and throwin’
… love….
To get us through

LYRICS
Once I started thinking
Outside the freedom box
The cleaning of the clocks
The ships shoved from docks
Freedom box
That ship sailed
Of the failed
Now, it’s all hands on deck
Let’s fix this wreck
Freedom box
Once I started thinking
(Outside the freedom box)
The fears started shrinking
(Outside the freedom box)
Once I started thinking
(Outside the freedom box)
What’s wrong started sinking
(Outside the freedom box)
Once I started thinking
Outside the freedom box
All our bonds and stocks
Outside the freedom box
No more bars and locks
Outside the freedom box
Tumbling of the blocks
Outside the freedom box

Oh, so infectious
I caught you
Oh, so infectious
What to do?
Oh, so infectious
Ain’t no flu

LYRICS
So, what?
You begged for it
So, what
You fought for it
But, in your pursuit
You forgot it
Forget?
Forgot it
Became a suit
Thought you knew it
Now the new “it”
(Knew it new “it” nitwit)
Foregone conclusion
The collusion
Illusion
Based on delusion
So, what?
You begged for it
So, what
You fought for it
But, in your pursuit
You forgot it
Forget?
Forgot it

LYRICS
The hate of hate
Realize too late
You cast your fate
Surprise anticipate
Salt in the wound
Alt Control delete
None too soon
Rinse and repeat

The despise of the I’s
When you are them
Surprise to realize
We’re all human
Salt in the wound
Alt Control delete
None too soon
Rinse and repeat

The love of love
Reign from above
The love of love
Rain from above
Soak our spirit
For all to hear it

LYRICS
Get in the swing
Getting in the swing
Spirit takes wing
Inner happening
Into the swing

No harness to hold you down

Along the way
All around
Space is found
No gravity to hold you down

LYRICS
Do you feel that something’s got a grip
On your heart the tug thug mugs a rip
No matter how hard you try to pry
Stuck in time feeling by and by (bye n’ bye)
Eventually you will see
You’ll see

Before long you’ll be free you’ll see
Right the wrong, justify till you’ll be
The harder you apply try and try
The you’ll gain wing to fly
Eventually you will see
You’ll see

You inspire me
Higher
You’re taking me
To a strange familiar place
Out of range at home base

On fire

LYRICS
IF you say “there’s no way out!”
How did we ever get in?
If you say “there’s know way out!”
Where did we ever get in?
Sometimes the air is thick
With an error of logic
Think quick!

If you say “there’s no new way”
How did we ever get on?
If you say “there’s no knew way”
How did we get it on?
Sometimes the air is thick
With an error of logic
Think quick!

If you say “care for no one”
How did we ever get known?
If you say “don’t care no, none”
Victory is never won/one
Sometimes the air is thick
With an error of logic
Think quick!

LYRICS
Abby Somebody
Just a brain
Caught in the reign
To restrain
Is Abby somebody?
In the eye-of-the storm
Not of the norm
At all
Not normal?
Take a stab
Ab…
In total
Not normal
When they were passing out brains
I thought they said trains
There’s already toys in my attic
Not really sick
The joys
Rearrange strange
Paranormal strain
Just a brain
Abby Somebody
Is that body me, Abby?

LYRICS
Are you going to mince our meet
Getting dicey with your words
How absurd
How to greet
Getting blurred
Our minced meet
Grind
Do you mind
Slice and dice
Realize pulverized
I find the grind
Pulverized realized
Real eyes
See me
Cut to the chase
Beyond two face
Rate… straight
From the horse’s mouth
Never… on the 12th…
Of never
Ever life’s wealth

LYRICS
I see you want to play with fire
Brought the matches to aspire
Spark into dark ignite
Add light for insight
Enlighten some
And sum
Then some sum

Brought the matches
2 of a kind
You brought to mind
Could be 3
I can see
4 maybe more
Batches of matches
Add the tip to friction
In a blip/flip ignition
Light then sum
Light and the some
Enlighten some
Elightensum
