LYRICS
Bleeding through
Beating true

Bleeding through… here
I can’t help but notice
The tear in your fear
Is bleeding through… here
I can’t help but say
In the foray
Of your hooray
The fray…
Shredded
Dreaded…
Is up to you
True.

Bleeding through
Bleeding hearts
Bleeding through
Hearts beat true
Bleeding through
Beating true

LYRICS
So, you’re fighting
’cause you say you want to be free
Sounds silly, quite literally
You’re already an autonomous zone
Thoughts completely on/of your own
Id’s ego is overblown
Time to own

You say you’re fighting
For your dreams to come true
So, you’re going to do
What you’re going to do
You’re already an autonomous zone
Thoughts completely on/of your own
Id’s ego is overblown
Time to own

You say you fight
Out of fear and spite
Step into the light
Of what’s right
Unite

LYRICS
Did we land in Afghanistan?

What happened to the land of the free
If you ask me
We need to save
The home of the brave
I do not understand…
Did we land in Afghanistan?

Is anybody really sure
Definitely not in Kansas anymore
That includes Toto, too
Not to mention me and you
Did we land in Afghanistan?

Ruled by a one man Taliban
Out to rape every man
Time to ban the President
Since he doesn’t represent
Did we land in Afghanistan?

LYRICS
What am I waiting for?
Already holding the door
More than ready, that’s for sure
Didn’t ya hear me all the times before?
Hard to believe, yet it’s true
All this time I’ve been waiting for you

I could see what’s in store
Said, “No more, no, no more!”
Held it steady… prayed I’d endure
Off to save our future
Hard to believe, yet it’s true
All this time I’ve been waiting for you

LYRICS
Some other time and place
Might have considered us waste
But, I say, “Look at it this way.”
Slow the pace to your haste

As for what I meant
Our beautiful experiment
So, I say, “Look at it this way.”
Pace your race into haste

A rib from Adam’s side
Would become his bride
Don’t take as urgent
What ya hear from a serpent
Less your labor is strain
And birth is a pain

LYRICS
When’s a good time
For a lyric and a rhyme
Pretty much anytime
When’s a good time to descend the climb
Pretty much anytime

Time is ticking away
Day by day by day
Moments slipping away
Day by day by day

The fabric of time frays
Only the memory stays
Life changes in so many ways
For now, cherish the days

LYRICS
A time to pick up sticks
A time to lay ’em down
A time to stack up bricks
A time to tear walls down
So much for “each to their own”
That whole thing was overblown
’cause you’re never really on your own
No. Fact of the matter —
We’re not alone

A time to learn the seeds
Appreciate the weeds
A time to earn the day
Appreciate the way
So much for “each to their own”
That whole thing was overblown
’cause you’re never really on your own
No. Fact of the matter —
We’re not alone

LYRICS
Feeling drained
After being strained
Garbage disposal disposed of
Yet, the clog remained
This plumber’s cracked
And could use some love
Money back
Guarantee
Honey back
So lovely

Pipefitter with a snake
Pied piper will awake
Follow him around
Follow him down, down
Underground
Plumber’s fixed the leak
Strengthened where it was weak
All hate disposed of
Now, bring on the love

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
Early, early in the morning
Late, late in the evening
This paralysis of wondering
Is there any rational
Auf Wiedersehen… farewell

Early, early the beginning
Late, late in the ending
This paralysis of wondering
Is there any rational
Sayōnara… farewell

Early, early in the planning
Late, late in delivering
This paralysis of wondering
Is there any rational
Adiós… farewell

If ever there was a time, it’s now
If ever there was a way, somehow
The ominous within us
In an omnipresent situation
Represent the present stimulation
Give it up
Or pack it up
For soul salvation
… sole salvation

LYRICS
One thing leads to another
Before you know it
Know-body knows
Where they’re at
Perhaps by chance
You know the dance
Cultural swing
But, here’s the thing:
[jam]

Two things come together
Before you know it
Know-body knows
Where they’re at
Perhaps by chance
You know the dance
Cultural swing
But, here’s the thing:
[jam]

We bring the forever
Before you know it
We all know where it’s at
Perhaps by chance
You know the dance
Cultural swing
But, here’s the thing:

LYRICS
I’m hearing something
That isn’t the same thing
Even the birds start singing:
It’s happening
You may want to knock it
Once your have tried it
You may want to beat it
Once that you feel it
Taking in the habitat

I’m hearing something
That is a new thing
Bells of freedom ringing
It’s happening
You may want to knock it
Once your have tried it
You may want to beat it
Once that you feel it
A well found habit
Taking in the habitat
