LYRICS
Seen so many people
Livin’ in-daze

Seen so many people
Too many people
Loosing their days
In a haze
Loosing their days

Livin’ in-daze

Seen so many people
Too many people
Livin’ in-daze

Wastin’ way
In the days

Too many people

LYRICS
On a perfect purple velvet moonlit night
Perfect night for insight

In the light
The light shines on
On insight
I can see
What I can be
I can see
What can be
I can see me be

On a perfect purple velvet moonlit night
Moonlit velvet
Moonlit night
Shining down insight
There’s a glow
In the glow there’s a flow
The know

bookmark_borderFingernails On Thin Ice

LYRICS
Trying to grab by my fingernails
’cause right now what ails is what fails
The thin ice
Crackin’ me up

Fingernails down a blackboard
Sending shivers… shivers up and down my spine
yeeeeeah
Not sure if it’s fine
Sending shivers up and down my spine
The claw
Of it all
The claw of it all
As the fingertips go down
The chalkboard
Blackboard
The slate
At any rate
It sends shivers, chills
It spills chills
Up and down the spine
My spine
Ahhhhhhh
It’s intertwined
With pain
You’d have to be insane
Caught up in your own vain
Injecting vain into your vein
’till you feel no pain

The down side is you’re the pain
Driving us insane
The thin ice
It’s the fingers and the slate
Could drive a man irate
By the fingernails
What ails is what fails

The thin ice

The System.mp3

LYRICS
You know we’re all suckin’ off the system
I know I am
Very clear what’s going on here
It started with my Mom’s teat
… but, we all gotta eat

Ya, we’re all sucking off the same hose
Everyone knows

It’s more about your need
More about the greed
Starting with your Mom’s teat
We’ve all got to eat

No surprise when you realize right before your eyes
We’re all suckin’ off the system
I know I am
But, I know I’ll do what can
How about you

We strive to stay alive
Survival of the fittest
Who is best?
My, oh, my
What will be my best fit
Even if I don’t like it a bit

Every day when I wake
See how much I can take
Gotta see what I can be
Gotta see what’s inside of me

I know, I know, I know
We’re all suckin’ off the same hose
I know, I know
How the water will flow
We’re all suckin’ of the system
I am…
I know I am
Gonna do what I can do
Hope you will, too
See what we can be
I know
About the flow
I know I am
Suckin’ off the system

Suckin’ off the system
I know I am
Started with my mother’s teat
We all gotta eat

In Common.mp3

LYRICS
Right before my eyes I start to realize
Common sense is hard to come by
And, I don’t know why

None to be found
None around

Right before my I’s, I start to realize
Common sense is hard to come by
And, I don’t know why

If all I do is “I, I, I, me, me, me”
It’s easy to see
No surprise
My demise

Right before my eyes I start to realize
Common sense is hard to come by
And, I don’t know why

How can you have more space
If space is nothing
How can you have more nothing
And find a trace?

(trip)

Right before my I’s, I start to realize
Common sense is hard to come by
And, I don’t know why

It seems that this I
The I I eye
Coming to think… it’s inevitable
That I’ll be unable…
I mean, we’re all gonna die
I don’t care why

(skip and a jump / time slide faster)

Common sense is hard to come by
But you’d better try
Not just some sort-of pie-in-sky
Get a grasp
At last

LYRICS
If you keep trying to find your place in this space
Even just trying to keep place at your pace
By looking in, by digging in, inside
How are you ever gonna figure it out
Figure out out
Figure out out

If you’re lost in your own space
Trying to figure out what face
To wear
Beware
If you keep digging in
Looking in
To your inside
You’re gonna miss the ride
How ya gonna figure out out
Figure out out?

If it’s all about you
Unlikely life will ring true
But, you’ll get through
Doing all you can do
To figure out out
To figure out out
You’ve got to come out
Look out!
To figure out out

Where to begin?
Get over within
Figure out out
Get over within
Get to figgerin’ out out

Trying to get on and along
Getting over in
Figuring out out
Trying to figure out out
Gonna figure out out
Leaving no doubt

Getting it on within figuring out out

LYRICS
Taking showers with the meteors
More than mediocre
We fly high
Lighting up the sky

Fleeing all
Falling in a waterfall
Getting to know the flow
In total
With the waterfall

Take flight through the night into the bright…
Dawn
Moving on

Take a shower with the meteors
More than mediocre
You can fly high
In the night sky

If ever there were ever to be a bliss
It would be bliss just like this
Miss Bliss

Feel the mist
Just like this

The bliss
Miss Bliss through the mist

A nod through the fog
Thinly veiled
Message arrived in the mailed
Message mailed
Miss Bliss is alive

Unclench the fist
Feel the mist
The misfit
Of misfit
Of Miss Bliss
Let go of dole
Her soul

Let go of your troll
Her sole

Right here
In the comfort
So near

bookmark_borderA Lifetime

LYRICS
Let’s get in sync

A jazz experimental ditty
Try to get into some spiritual possibility
In this time, in this day, in this age
When you want to turn the page
And get a way from history
Because that’s not my story
I might be a product of my genes
I might be a product of my environment
I’m not a product of the obscene
I’ve come to appreciated what life means

If you feel like your downtrodden… down beat…
Of the old narrate
If you can’t figure out what the hell you’re doing here
When this is heaven
Well, maybe you haven’t been forgiven
Or, maybe you haven’t been enlightened
It’s not too late

Whenever things get hard…
When you think it’s hard
Of course it might depend on your tissue
Your issue
’cause you could be soft inside
The hardened shell is your own hell

It could be just as well
Come out of that shell
With that soft underbelly
Crawl out… it’ll be funny
Come to see
Enlightenment
And, that’s excitement
That’s how you create a thrill
So that people will chill
Create a thrill
And get rid of ill-will
