Seek Shelter

Posted on June 25, 2015December 30, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
Where will the lightning strike
Which way will the wind blow
Stick your finger in the dike
Try and control the flow

In the path of where the storm goes
Why under attack? Nobody knows
Seek shelter immediately
Before you become a casualty
Before they declare you a tragedy

Will we make it through the night
Still be standing at dawn’s daylight
Will comfort overtake fright
Please tell me it’s gonna be alright

Wide Eyes

Posted on June 23, 2015June 25, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
With eyes wide
Eyes wide and mesmerized

When you’ve realized
You’ve no place to hide

I ain’t heard nothin’ like that before
Might not ever hear is again
This is the spirit that makes folklore
For now, gonna soak it in

I ain’t seen nothin’ like this before
May never see it again
These are souls giving more
For “wow” partake in
For “wow” participating’

Jaw dropin’ droolin’
Eye poppin’ grocin’

LYRICS
Look in the rearview mirror
Hold on to life a lil’ dearer
It goes by so fast
Seein’ the future going passed

Look in the rearview mirror
And keep an eye on the road
Multi-task mode
Avoid brain overload

As the future comes clearer
The past comes nearer

Look in the rearview mirror
Hold on to life a lil’ dearer
It goes by so fast
Seein’ the future going past

As the future comes nearer
The past come clearer

LYRICS
When you convey a smile
It travels many a mile
Then compound and compile
Everyone tunes into the dial
And, that’s when the times turn fine

You said, “Keep on playing,
I’ll just listen.”
Thanks for saying
Eyes twinkle and glisten
And, that’s when the times turn fine

Saw her tapping her toe
That’s how I know
Wished she didn’t have to go
Solace… she’ll be back, though
And, that’s when the times turn fine

ABOUT THE SONG

Sticky Situation

Posted on December 4, 2014December 5, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Abomination
A black-eyed nation
Finding ourselves
In a sticky situation

Doing the same thing over and over agin’
Thinkin’… this time it won’t be the same
That’s just insane
Doing the same crime throughout time
Stuck in a rut of the moral lame
Slain our own brain

Appropriation
Of the Indian nation
Finding ourselves
In a sticky situation

Hypocrites fighting agin’ immigration
Thinkin’ we’ll be the ones to survive a purification
Hallucination
But yes indeed through our greed we succeed
In winning the war on self-mutilation
Degradation

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
Capo 2

Em Am
Em C D Em

This song is about hating hate. I’ve been assaulted by the police more times than anyone I know. I’ve been assaulted by police in Montgomery County, Chester County and Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I’ve witnessed police and federal agencies assaulting people in many more locals. It has never been about race. After reading a bunch of racist posts about police brutality and corruption, I go on to read hate posts about immigration. Hello, Earthlings?!?! Is there anyone home? (Still no sign of intelligent life.)

The video features articles, pictures and footage of police intimidation, police brutality and police corruption by The Doylestown Police Department, The Whitpain Township Police Department, The Lower Providence Police Department, The West Chester Police Department, The Philadelphia Police Department, Homeland Security, U.S. Fish And Wildlife, U.S. Park Rangers and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Going To Pennsylvania

Posted on November 17, 2014November 19, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Just keep telling yourself it’s not as hard as it seems
We can wake up and share (in) the dreams

The sun is rising high in the sky
Before the date gets too late
Open our eyes to realize

We won the prize
Open our eyes
We won the prize
Realize

Just keep telling the world what it is life really means
It’s much more than just kings and queens

Take it in a loving embrace
Leave no scars. Leave no trace.
Open our eyes to realize

We won the prize
Open our eyes
We won the prize
Realize

May humanity prosper in the human race

LYRICS
I’d love to save the world
Bring happiness to every kid
Though the statements bold
I’d love to save… I’d love to save…

Chorus
I’d love to save the world
So one day our history’s told
I’d love to save the world
So one day our history’s heard

Let love be unfurled
Spilling over ’till hatred’s rid
The saying never gets old
I’d love to save… I’d love to save…

Chorus

With humanity behave
From the cradle to our grave
The saying never gets old
I’d love to save… I’d love to save…

Songwriting and Recording in West Chester, PA

LYRICS
Take an ice pick and start whacking it to bits
Watch the glacier succumb to the hits
Ice cubes… just add liquor and mix
The allure… of
Shaken not stirred
The fix

It’s not nice being cold as ice
The allure… of
Shaken not stirred
The fix

Take an ice pick and start whacking it to bits
Watch the iceberg overcome by the hits
Good news… ice cubes.
Just add liquor and mix
The allure… of
Shaken not stirred
The fix

It’s not nice being cold as ice
The allure… of
Shaken not stirred
The fix

LYRICS
There’s a man over there
Can’t help but stare
Most people aren’t aware

Time to call the cows in
Time to call them home
Time the birds start singin’
Time all are welcome

The man had problems
To pain will he succumb
Ah man, is society that dumb
How come?

Autumn Twilight

Posted on October 29, 2014October 29, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
In the Fall, before the leaves fall
Hard to believe it’s the color of dying
All in all, could be a good call
Relieves and re-lives in the Spring
Funny thing… once you gain understanding
The color of the foliage and old age
Takes on a whole new meaning

Orange, red, golden brown
Flying in the wind… falling down
Aren’t you dancing with delight
In the Autumn twilight

Starlight, star bright… first star I see tonight
Or are you a planet
Venus, Mercury or Mars?
Thought jars… light traveled so far

Orange, red, golden brown
Flying in the wind… falling down
Aren’t you dancing with delight
In the Autumn twilight
