E                         D
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

  A                         G      E      E7
I like watchin’ the puddles gather rain

    E                    D
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two

    A                         G         E     E7
and speak my point of view but it’s not sane, It’s not sane

E              D              E           D 
   I just want    some one to say to me   oh,

E              D                 E     D      
   I’ll always be there when you wake     yeah...

E                       D              E        D
    Ya know I’d like to keep my cheeks dry today

E                D                   E        D    
    So stay with me and I’ll have it made

      E                      D   
And I don’t understand why I sleep all day

      A                       G         E     E7 
And I start to complain that there’s no rain

    E                      D 
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake

   A                           G           E 
It rips my life away, but it’s a great escape

escape, escape, escape

E                        D
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

         A
ya don’t like my point of view

         G        E  
ya think that I’m insane

Its not sane, it’s not sane

E              D             E           D           
   I just want    someone to say to me  oh,

E              D                  E      D
   I’ll always be there when you wake       yeah,

E                      D              E          D
   Ya know I’d like to keep my cheeks dry today

E               D                   E      D
   so stay with me and I’ll have it made

Collapse Lapse

LYRICS
Just saw another collapse
Not sure if real’s surreal
A compassionary lapse
What does it take to feel

Until…
… freewill

Thawed Just Ice

Posted on June 7, 2013June 7, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
When the doom starts to loom
Go toward the omnipresent light
When storm troopers goon
Got to stick up for what is right

What is “just” must come true
True the alignment is meant

When you feel down on your luck
When you are persecuted
It’s time to give a F&%#!
Risking being executed

What is “just” must come true
True the alignment is meant

The Water

Posted on June 7, 2013June 7, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Sooner or later
Ya know the water
Will wash it all away
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe today
That water washes away

Do you understand how the Canyon got Grand
Can you command land
Or oversee the sea?

Chorus

Can you comprehend how the ark got afloat
Can your boat cross the mote
Ya know… across Styx to the rainbow?

Chorus

ABOUT THIS SONG

Made in the USA (Ambler, Montgomery County and West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)

I wrote the song about the rising sea level. Coincidentally, the next day we got hit by tropical storm Andrea dumping inches of rain on us.

The picture is from a 1998 paper written by the state of New Jersey on what happens when the ice melts.

Chromesthesia

Posted on April 4, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Maybe for you it’s numbers
Maybe for you it’s the day of the week
The month or the day
Or the year
The year of the snake
The year of the monkey
Maybe you can see sound
Chromesthesia

Chromesthesia

What if I could hear what you could see
What if you could see what I could hear
Well, we can
And, it’s coming in clear
Just got to tap into the part of the brain
Not insane at the membrane

You can see what you can hear
Chromesthesia

Maybe you’ve got to do a spinal tap
Or some sort-of Buddhist chant
Or maybe you can connect
Just like that

’cause you can see what I hear
And, it’s coming in clear
Sometimes like lines
Other times like fireworks
Sometimes like lines
No one is quite sure how it works
Chromesthesia

Neurological miracle

Here we go
Like a rainbow

Chromesthesia.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Bb BbM7

Daniel — Vocals, Electric Guitar, Korg, Yamaha and Casio Keyboards (all instruments played simultaneously.)

Chromesthesia or sound to color synesthesia is a type of synesthesia in which heard sounds automatically and involuntarily evoke an experience of color.

Last of the Golden Age Sage

Posted on April 3, 2013April 3, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
They say, they say
We’re out of the Golden Age
We’re past the Uranium Age
We’ve entered the Plutonium Age

Say, say what do you say?

Even after generation upon generation upon generation
Upon sage upon sage upon sage
We rolled out of the Golden age

“You are now leaving the Golden Age”
How will you ever manage?

They say we’re leaving the Golden Age
Going past the Uranium Age
Must be in the Plutonium Age
A nuclear nightmare
Stay clear

I guess we’ve left the Golden Age… left it far behind
The how to be kind kind
The kind of kind that would mind
Do you find that you mind
All the things that society brings

I guess we’ve left the Golden Age
Entering the time of severe rage
Let our animal instincts think
And, we don’t mind not being kind

Acting like a mean old junk yard dog
Acting like a hog
Acting like a junk yard dog
Howling at the moon
None too soon, we’ll be left howling at the moon

They say we’ve left the Golden Age
At the nucleus, we’ve turned nuclear
Exactly as we did fear
Time to wear military gear
Now, your task
Get a gas mask
They’ll be dropping bombs
Sending you flying to your tomb

Don’t want that coming too soon
Just howling at the moon

Come To Life

Posted on April 2, 2013April 4, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
You come into life
As though you’re here to stay
I’m sorry to tell you
It’s just not that way

Chorus
Enjoy each day
As if it’s your last
’cause every lifetime is sure to pass

Conquer our strife
Keep evil at bay
The fortune to tell you
You’re found the right way

Chorus

Come into the light
As if you want to play
I’m happy to tell you
It’ll turn the sky blue… from the darkest of grey

Chorus
