LYRICS
Can you please tell me
I clearly can not see
On which planet did I land?
For I do not understand

At it again
Where to begin
Up for win-win
Know where I’ve been
Nowhere I’ve been
Hope that I can
In still I will
Instill I will

Can you take me by the hand
Help me to understand
Please take me to your leader
We’ll pray he’s not a bottom feeder
Oh, no! Do tell
Are we in hell
Did we roll the dice
Landing on the anti-Christ?

LYRICS
Begging for more
What’s in store
Blood and gore
Sure you want more?
Can you endure

Slash and burn
Wave your turn
Never learn
Sure you want more?
Can you endure

The hens are in the hen house
No stirring… not a mouse
No chance of an ambulance
Dirge splurge and dance

Ticking bomb
Won’t be long
’til we’re gone
Sure you want more?
Can you endure

Vietnam
Rains napalm
Sing your psalm
Sure you want more?
Can you endure

LYRICS
Bits of fits and tantrums
Is what you’re all about
Clenched fists and war drums
Brings on a crying bout
Cry, baby, cry
Watching credibility die
Cry, baby, cry

Hissy fits… you’re yelling
It’s yourself you’re selling
Crying over id
’cause of what you did
Cry, baby, cry
Watching credibility die
Cry, baby, cry

Claim to be a judge
Yet, have no judgement
Character’s what’s meant
Your pedestal needs a nudge
Cry, baby, cry
Watching credibility die
Cry, baby, cry

LYRICS
If you make everywhere your home
Then everywhere that you roam
Is home
The only baggage you will need
Is for your heart to feed
Bleed seed
Feed the heart from the start
And leave your baggage at home
Free to roam

The less that you carry
The more merry on the journey
The more that you give away
The less take any given day

If you let your heart
Do its part
You’ll never be alone
In the presence of existence
Always at home

Monster In Me Overkill.mp3

LYRICS
A troll and a mole
Had a love child — wild!
Out of the hole
Far from mild — wild!
Too much juice
On the loose
Should you fear her
Look in the mirror
Be it numb or dumb
Where do you think you come from
Oh, Lord, kingdom come is done
Look at us — hideous
See the hair and nails?
Never fails
Skunk doesn’t smell its own hole
How droll

LYRICS
Whenever I see the raindrops
Hit the sidewalk
I think of you
Whenever I see the sunshine
Ripen the vine
I think of you
It seems no matter what I do
I think of you

When Spring is in the air
I feel you there
My heart feeling the call
Reminiscing in fall
From the crack of dawn
Until dusk’s last yawn
You’re in my head
As I lay in bed
It seems no matter what I do
I think of you

LYRICS
Seem in a hurry
Scene’s gettin’ blurry
Don’t need to worry
I’m taking time
Caught in the flurry
Blinded by glory
Strung out hung jury
I’m taking time
I just don’t know how to go slow
If you hold my hand
You’ll understand

Season for reason
Grieving is leaving
No dust nor rust
I’m taking time
Hard to believe
You’ll get relief
Release the grief
By taking time
I just don’t know how to go slow
If you hold my hand
You’ll understand

LYRICS
Obscene…
… the things I’ve seen
The screen
Has a tear

And, my belief
I need relief
’cause this itch
Is a bitch

LYRICS
In the dark of night
Your light shines bright
Yes, you are
The brightest star
Dear,
Your light travels through the years
Overpowering any fears
Of the dark
The brilliance of your spark
Lust for the luster of your sparkle
Ahhhhh the original miracle
In the eye
Of the heavenly sky
A wrinkle in time the way you twinkle
The whitest light
In the twilight
Truth told
You never get old
Truth told
Ahhh behold

LYRICS
Might want to think twice
About rolling the dice
7 / 11
On going to heaven
Might wan to think back
ON what to retract
Once you’re dead
… already said
Heart beating
Is fleeting
Life is…
Kiss

Might think it over
Over 4 leaf clover
Out of luck
Don’t give a #uck
Might want to repent
Before Life is spent
Being kind
Comes to mind
Heart beating
Is fleeting
Life is…
Kiss

Translucent
The scent in sight is faint
It ain’t…
Quite crystal clear
(Though near)
You get the light
In sight
Light with a smear
Translucent

LYRICS
You’re living in a whirlwind
I’m watching you spin
Where you were
Is where you’ve been
You’re living in a whirlwind
Trying to watch you spin
All’s a blur
Stirred up dustbin
Round and round you go
Where you stop… nobody knows
(No one knows. Do you know?)

You’re living in a whirlwind
Turn, turn, turn
Spinning so fast
Might start to burn
You’re living in a whirlwind
Churn, churn, churn
This can’t last
An endless sojourn
Round and round you go
Where you stop… nobody knows
